1. Introduction
The Internet Architecture Board (IAB) holds occasional workshops
designed to consider long-term issues and strategies for the
Internet, and to suggest future directions for the Internet
architecture. This long-term planning function of the IAB is
complementary to the ongoing engineering efforts performed by working
groups of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
The Design Expectations vs. Deployment Reality in Protocol
Development Workshop was convened by the IAB in June 2019. This
report summarizes the workshop's significant points of discussion and
identifies topics that may warrant further consideration.
The background for the workshop was that during the development and
early elaboration phase for a number of protocols, there was a
presumption of specific deployment models. Actual deployments have,
however, often run contrary to these early expectations when
economies of scale, Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack
resilience, market consolidation, or other factors have come into
play. These factors can result in the deployed reality being highly
concentrated.
This is a serious issue for the Internet, as concentrated,
centralized deployment models present risks to user choice, privacy,
and future protocol evolution.
On occasion, the differences from the original expectations were
almost immediate, but they also occur after significant time has
passed since the protocol's initial development.
Some examples are given below.
* Email standards, which presumed many providers running in a
largely uncoordinated fashion but have seen both significant
market consolidation and a need for coordination to defend against
spam and other attacks. The coordination and centralized defense
mechanisms scale better for large entities; these have fueled
additional consolidation.
* The Domain Name System (DNS), which presumed deep hierarchies but
has often been deployed in large, flat zones, leading to the
nameservers for those zones becoming critical infrastructure.
Future developments in DNS may see concentration through the use
of globally available common resolver services, which evolve
rapidly and can offer better security. Paradoxically,
concentration of these queries into a few services creates new
security and privacy concerns.
* The Web, which is built on a fundamentally decentralized design
but is now often delivered with the aid of Content Delivery
Networks (CDNs). Their services provide scaling, distribution,
and prevention of denial of service in ways that new entrants and
smaller systems operators would find difficult to replicate.
While truly small services and truly large services may each
operate using only their own infrastructure, many others are left
with the only practical choice being the use of a globally
available commercial service.
Similar developments may happen with future technologies and
services. For instance, the growing use of Machine Learning
technology presents challenges for distributing effective
implementation of a service throughout a pool of many different
providers.
In [RFC5218], the IAB tackled what made for a successful protocol.
In [RFC8170], the IAB described how to handle protocol transitions.
The purpose of this workshop was to explore cases where the initial
system design assumptions turned out to be wrong, looking for
patterns in what caused those assumptions to fail (e.g.,
concentration due to DDoS resilience) and in how those failures
impact the security, privacy, and manageability of the resulting
deployments.
While the eventual goals might include proposing common remediations
for specific cases of confounded protocol expectations, this workshop
and thus this report focused on identifying patterns.
The workshop call for papers invited the submission of position
papers that would:
* Describe specific cases where systems assumptions during protocol
development were confounded by later deployment conditions.
* Survey a set of cases to identify common factors in these
confounded expectations.
* Explore remediations that foster user privacy, security, and
provider diversity in the face of these changes.
A total of 21 position papers were received and are listed in
Section 3. On site or remote were 30 participants; they are listed
in Appendix A.
2. Workshop Agenda
After opening and discussion of goals for the workshop, the
discussion focused on five main topics:
* Past experiences. What have we learned?
* Principles. What forces apply to deployment? What principles to
take into account in design?
* Centralized deployment models. The good and the bad of
centralization. Can centralization be avoided? How?
* Security. Are we addressing the right threats? What should we
prepare ourselves for?
* Future. What can we do? Should we get better at predicting, or
should we do different things?

4. Discussions
4.1. Past Experiences
The workshop investigated deployment cases from certificate
authorities for web connections (WebPKI) to DNS Security (DNSSEC),
from the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to Network Address Translators
(NATs), from DNS resolvers to CDNs, and from Internet of Things (IoT)
systems to instant messaging and social media applications.
In many cases, (1) there was a surprise in how technology was
deployed, (2) there was a lack of sufficient adoption, or (3) the
business models associated with chosen technologies were not in favor
of broader interoperability.
In general, the protocol designers cannot affect market forces but
must work within them. But there are often competing technical
approaches or features that are tailored for a particular deployment
pattern. In some cases, it is possible to choose whether to support,
for instance, a clear need for an established business, a feature
designed to support collaboration among smaller players, or some kind
of disruption through a more speculative new feature or technology.
Lessons learned include the following:
* Feedback from those who deploy often comes too late.
* Building blocks get repurposed in unexpected ways.
* User communities come in too late.
* The Web is getting more centralized, and counteracting this trend
is difficult. It is not necessarily clear what technical path
leads to distributed markets and decentralized architectures, for
instance.
* There are also many forces that make it easier to pursue
centralized models than other models. For instance, deployment is
often easier in a centralized model. And various business and
regulatory processes work best within a small, well-defined set of
entities that can interact with each other. This can lead to, for
instance, regulators preferring a situation with a small number of
entities that they can talk to, rather than a diverse set of
providers.
* It is important but hard to determine how useful new protocols
are.
* It is difficult for the IETF community to interact with other
communities, e.g., specific business sectors that need new
technology (such as aviation or healthcare) or regulators.
4.2. Principles
Several underlying principles can be observed in the example cases
that were discussed. Deployment failures tend to be associated with
cases where interdependencies make progress difficult and there's no
major advantage for early deployment. Despite persistent problems in
the currently used technology, it becomes difficult for the ecosystem
to switch to better technology. For instance, there are a number of
areas where the Internet routing protocol BGP [RFC4271] is lacking,
but there has been only limited success in deploying significant
improvements -- for instance, in the area of security.
Another principle appears to be first-mover advantage. Several
equally interesting technologies have fared in very different ways,
depending on whether there was an earlier system that provided most
of the benefits of the new system. Again, despite potential problems
in an already-deployed technology, it becomes difficult to deploy
improvements due to a lack of immediate incentives and due to the
competing and already-deployed alternative that is proceeding forward
in the ecosystem. For instance, WebPKI is very widely deployed and
used, but DNSSEC [RFC4033] is not. Is this because of the earlier
commercial adoption of WebPKI, the more complex interdependencies
between systems that wished to deploy DNSSEC, or some other reason?
The definition of "success" in [RFC5218] appears to be part of the
problem. The only way to control deployments up front is to prevent
wild success, but wild successes are actually what we want. And it
seems very difficult to predict these successes.
The workshop also discussed the extent to which protocol work even
should be controlled by the IETF, or the IESG. It seems unproductive
to attempt to constrain deployment models, as one can only offer
possibilities but not force anyone to use a particular possibility.
The workshop also discussed different types of deployment patterns on
the Internet:
* Delivering functionality over the Internet as a web service. The
Internet is an open and standardized system, but the service on
top may be closed, essentially running two components of the same
service provider's software against each other over the browser
and Internet infrastructure. Several large application systems
have grown in the Internet in this manner, encompassing large
amounts of functionality and a large fraction of Internet users.
This makes it easier for web applications to grow by themselves
without cross-fertilization or interoperability.
* Delivering concentrated network services that offer the standard
capabilities of the Internet. Examples in this category include
the provisioning of some mail services, DNS resolution, and so on.
The second case is more interesting for an Internet architecture
discussion. There can, however, be different underlying situations
even in that case. The service may be simply a concentrated way to
provide a commodity service. The market should find a natural
equilibrium for such situations. This may be fine, particularly
where the service does not provide any new underlying advantage to
whoever is providing it (in the form of user data that can be
commercialized, for instance, or as training data for an important
Machine Learning service).
Secondly, the service may be an extension beyond standard protocols,
leading to some questions about how well standards and user
expectations match. But those questions could be addressed by better
or newer standards. Thirdly, and potentially most disturbingly, the
service may be provided in this concentrated manner due to business
patterns that make it easier for particular entities to deploy such
services.
The group also discussed monocultures, and their negative effect on
the Internet and its stability and resistance to various problems and
attacks.
Regulation may affect the Internet businesses as well. Regulation
can exist in multiple forms, based on economic rationale (e.g.,
competition law) or other factors. For instance, user privacy is a
common regulatory topic.
4.3. Centralized Deployment Models
Many of the participants have struggled with these trends and their
effect on desirable characteristics of Internet systems, such as
distributed, end-to-end architecture or privacy. Yet, there are many
business and technical drivers causing the Internet architecture to
become further and further centralized.
Some observations that were made:
* When standardizing new technology, the parties involved in the
effort may think they agree on what the goals are but in reality
are often surprised in the end. For instance, with DNS (queries)
over HTTPS (DoH) [RFC8484], there were very different aspirations,
some around improvements in confidentiality of the queries, some
around operational and latency improvements to DNS operations, and
some about shifting business and deployment models. The full
picture was not clear before the work was completed.
* In DNS, DDoS is a practical reality, and only a handful of
providers can handle the traffic load in these attacks.
The hopeful side of this issue is that there are some potential
answers:
* DDoS defenses do not have to come through large entities, as
layered defenses and federation also help similarly.
* Surveillance state data capture can be fought with data object
encryption and by not storing all of the data in one place.
* Web tracking can be combatted by browsers choosing to avoid
techniques that are sensitive to tracking. Competition in the
browser market may help drive some of these changes.
* Open interfaces help guard against the bundling of services in one
large entity; as long as there are open, well-defined interfaces
to specific functions, these functions can also be performed by
other parties.
* Commercial surveillance does not seem to be curbed by current
means. But there are still possibilities, such as stronger
regulation, data minimization, or browsers acting on behalf of
users. There are hopeful signs that at least some browsers are
becoming more aggressive in this regard. But more is needed.
One comment made in the workshop was that the Internet community
needs to curb the architectural trend of centralization. Another
comment was that discussing this in the abstract is not as useful as
more concrete, practical actions. For instance, one might imagine
different DoH deployments with widely different implications for
privacy or tolerance of failures. Getting to the specifics of how a
particular service can be made better is important.
4.4. Security
This part of the discussion focused on whether in the current state
of the Internet we actually need a new threat model.
Many of the security concerns regarding communications have been
addressed in the past few years, with increasing encryption.
However, issues with trusting endpoints on the other side of the
communication have not been addressed and are becoming more urgent
with the advent of centralized service architectures.
Further effort may be needed to minimize centralization, as having
only a few places to tap increases the likelihood of surveillance.
There may be a need to update [RFC3552] and [RFC7258].
The participants in the workshop agreed that a new threat model is
needed and that non-communications-security issues need to be
handled.
Other security discussions were focused on IoT systems, algorithm
agility issues, experiences from difficult security upgrades such as
DNSSEC key rollovers, and routing security.
The participants cautioned against relying too much on device
manufacturers for security, and being clear on security models and
assumptions. Security is often poorly understood, and the
assumptions about who the system defends against and who it does not
are not clear.
4.5. Future
The workshop turned into a discussion of what actions we can take:
* Documenting our experiences?
* Providing advice (to the IETF or to others)?
* Waiting for the catastrophe that will make people agree to
changes? The participants of course did not wish for this.
* Work at the IETF?
* Technical solutions/choices?
The best way for the IETF to do things is through standards;
convincing people through other requests is difficult. The IETF
needs to:
* Pick pieces that it is responsible for.
* Be reactive for the rest, be available as an expert in other
discussions, provide Internet technology knowledge where needed,
etc.
One key question is what other parties need to be involved in any
discussions. Platform developers (mobile platforms, cloud systems,
etc.) are one such group. Specific technology or business groups
(such as email provider or certificate authority forums) are another.
The workshop also discussed specific technology issues -- for
instance, around IoT systems. One observation in those systems is
that there is no single model for applications; they vary. There are
a lot of different constraints in different systems and different
control points. What is perhaps most needed today is user control
and transparency (for instance, via Manufacturer Usage Descriptions
(MUDs) [RFC8520]). Another issue is management, particularly for
devices that could be operational for decades. Given the diversity
of IoT systems, it may also make more sense to build support systems
for broader solutions than for specific solutions or specific
protocols.
There are also many security issues. While some of them are trivial
(such as default passwords), one should also look forward and be
prepared to have solutions for, say, trust management for long time
scales, or be able to provide data minimization to cut down on the
potential for leakages. And the difficulty of establishing peer-to-
peer security strengthens the need for a central point, which may
also be harmful from a long-term privacy perspective.
5. Conclusions
5.1. Summary of Discussions
The workshop met in the sunny Finnish countryside and made the
unsurprising observation that technologies sometimes get deployed in
surprising ways. But the consequences of deployment choices can have
an impact on security, privacy, centralized vs. distributed models,
competition, and surveillance. As the IETF community cares deeply
about these aspects, it is worthwhile to spend time on the analysis
of these choices.
The prime factor driving deployments is perceived needs; expecting
people to recognize obvious virtues and therefore deploy them is not
likely to work.
And the ecosystem is complex, including, for instance, many parties:
different business roles, users, regulators, and so on, and
perceptions of needs and the ability to act depend highly on what
party one talks to.
While the workshop discussed actions and advice, there is a critical
question of who these are targeted towards. There is a need to
construct a map of what parties need to perform what actions.
The workshop also made some technical observations. One issue is
that the workshop identified a set of hard issues that affect
deployment and for which we have no good solutions. These issues
include, for instance, dealing with DDoS attacks and how to handle
spam. Similarly, a lack of good solutions for micropayments is one
factor behind a lot of the Internet economy being based on
advertisements.
One recent trend is that technology is moving up the stack, e.g., in
the areas of services, transport protocol functionality, security,
naming, and so on. This impacts how easy or hard changes are and who
is able to perform them.
It was also noted that interoperability continues to be important,
and we need to explore what new interfaces need standardization --
this will enable different deployment models and competition. The
prime factor driving deployments is actual needs; we cannot force
anything on others but can provide solutions for those that need
them. Needs and actions may fall to different parties.
The workshop also considered the balancing of user non-involvement
and transparency, as well as choice, relevant threats such as
communicating with malicious endpoints, the role and willingness of
browsers in increasing the ability to defend users' privacy, and
concerns around centralized control or data storage points.
The workshop also discussed specific issues around routing, DoS
attacks, IoT systems, the role of device manufacturers, the DNS, and
regulatory reactions and their possible consequences.
5.2. Actions
The prime conclusion from the workshop was that the topics we
discussed were not completed in the workshop. Much more work is
needed. The best way for the IETF to make an impact is through
standards. The IETF should focus on the parts that it is responsible
for and be available as an expert on other discussions.
5.2.1. Potential Architecture Actions and Outputs
The documents/outputs and actions described in the following items
were deemed relevant by the participants.
* Develop and document a modern threat model.
* Continue discussion of consolidation/centralization issues.
* Document architectural principles, e.g., (re)application of the
end-to-end principle.
The first receiver of these thoughts is the IETF and protocol
community, but combined with some evangelizing and validation
elsewhere.
5.2.2. Other Potential Actions
* Pursuit of specific IETF topics, e.g., working on taking into
account reputation systems in IETF work, working to ensure that
certificate scoping can be appropriately limited, building end-to-
end encryption tools for applications, etc.
* General deployment experiences/advice, and documenting deployment
assumptions possibly already in WG charters.
* A report will be produced from the workshop (this RFC).
5.3. Other Publications
The workshop results have also been reported at [ISPColumn] by Geoff
Huston.
5.4. Feedback
Feedback regarding the workshop is appreciated and can be sent to the
program committee, the IAB, or the architecture-discuss list.
6. Security Considerations
Proposals discussed at the workshop would have significantly
different security impacts, and each workshop paper should be read
for its own security considerations.
