      Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN) Extension for IPv6
                     draft-ietf-behave-turn-ipv6-11

Abstract

   This document adds IPv6 support to Traversal Using Relays around NAT
   (TURN).  IPv6 support in TURN includes IPv4-to-IPv6, IPv6-to-IPv6,
   and IPv6-to-IPv4 relaying.  This document defines the REQUESTED-
   ADDRESS-FAMILY attribute for TURN.  The REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY
   attribute allows a client to explicitly request the address type the
   TURN server will allocate (e.g., an IPv4-only node may request the
   TURN server to allocate an IPv6 address).

Internet-Draft   TURN Extension for IPv4/IPv6 transition       July 2010

1.  Introduction

   Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN) [I-D.ietf-behave-turn] is a
   protocol that allows for an element behind a NAT to receive incoming
   data over UDP or TCP.  It is most useful for elements behind NATs
   without Endpoint-Independent Mapping [RFC4787] that wish to be on the
   receiving end of a connection to a single peer.

   The base specification of TURN [I-D.ietf-behave-turn] only defines
   IPv4-to-IPv4 relaying.  This document adds IPv6 support to TURN,
   which includes IPv4-to-IPv6, IPv6-to-IPv6, and IPv6-to-IPv4 relaying.
   This document defines the REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY attribute, which
   is an extension to TURN that allows a client to explicitly request
   the address type the TURN server will allocate (e.g., an IPv4-only
   node may request the TURN server to allocate an IPv6 address).  This
   document also defines and registers new error response codes.

2.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

3.  Overview of Operation

   When a user wishes a TURN server to allocate an address of a specific
   type, it sends an Allocate Request to the TURN server with a
   REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY attribute.  TURN can run over UDP and TCP,
   and it allows for a client to request address/port pairs for
   receiving both UDP and TCP.

   After the request has been successfully authenticated, the TURN
   server allocates a transport address of the type indicated in the
   REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY attribute.  This address is called the
   relayed transport address.

   The TURN server returns the relayed transport address in the response
   to the Allocate Request.  This response contains a XOR-RELAYED-
   ADDRESS attribute indicating the IP address and port that the server
   allocated for the client.

   TURN servers allocate a single relayed transport address per
   allocation request.  Therefore, Allocate Requests cannot carry more
   than one REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY attribute.  Consequently, a client
   that wishes to allocate more than one relayed transport address at a
   TURN server (e.g., an IPv4 and an IPv6 address) needs to perform

Camarillo, et al.        Expires January 9, 2011                [Page 3]
Internet-Draft   TURN Extension for IPv4/IPv6 transition       July 2010

   several allocation requests (one allocation request per relayed
   transport address).

   A TURN server that supports a set of address families is assumed to
   be able to relay packets between them.  If a server does not support
   the address family requested by a client, the server returns a 440
   (Address Family not Supported) error response.

4.  Creating an Allocation

   The behavior specified here affects the processing defined in Section
   6 of [I-D.ietf-behave-turn].

4.1.  Sending an Allocate Request

   A client that wishes to obtain a relayed transport address of a
   specific address type includes a REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY attribute,
   which is defined in Section 4.1.1, in the Allocate Request that it
   sends to the TURN server.  Clients MUST NOT include more than one
   REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY attribute in an Allocate Request.  The
   mechanisms to formulate an Allocate Request are described in Section
   6.1 of [I-D.ietf-behave-turn].

   Clients MUST NOT include a REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY attribute in an
   Allocate request that contains a RESERVATION-TOKEN attribute.

4.1.1.  The REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY Attribute

   The REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY attribute is used by clients to request
   the allocation of a specific address type from a server.  The
   following is the format of the REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY attribute.
   Note that TURN attributes are TLV (Type-Length-Value) encoded, with a
   16 bit type, a 16 bit length, and a variable-length value.

     0                   1                   2                   3
     0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
    |         Type                  |            Length             |
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
    |     Family    |            Reserved                           |
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Camarillo, et al.        Expires January 9, 2011                [Page 4]
Internet-Draft   TURN Extension for IPv4/IPv6 transition       July 2010

   Type: the type of the REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY attribute is 0x0017.
    As specified in [RFC5389], attributes with values between 0x0000 and
   0x7FFF are comprehension-required, which means that the client or
   server cannot successfully process the message unless it understands
   the attribute.

   Length: this 16-bit field contains the length of the attribute in
   bytes.  The length of this attribute is 4 bytes.

   Family: there are two values defined for this field and specified in
   [RFC5389], Section 15.1: 0x01 for IPv4 addresses and 0x02 for IPv6
   addresses.

   Reserved: at this point, the 24 bits in the reserved field MUST be
   set to zero by the client and MUST be ignored by the server.

   The REQUEST-ADDRESS-TYPE attribute MAY only be present in Allocate
   Requests.

4.2.  Receiving an Allocate Request

   Once a server has verified that the request is authenticated and has
   not been tampered with, the TURN server processes the Allocate
   request.  If it contains both a RESERVATION-TOKEN and a REQUESTED-
   ADDRESS-FAMILY, the server replies with a 400 (Bad Request) Allocate
   Error Response.  Following the rules in [RFC5389], if the server does
   not understand the REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY attribute, it generates
   an Allocate Error Response, which includes an ERROR-CODE attribute
   with response code 420 (Unknown Attribute).  This response will
   contain an UNKNOWN-ATTRIBUTE attribute listing the unknown REQUESTED-
   ADDRESS-FAMILY attribute.

   If the server can successfully process the request, it allocates a
   transport address for the TURN client, called the relayed transport
   address, and returns it in the response to the Allocate Request.

   As specified in [I-D.ietf-behave-turn], the Allocate Response
   contains the same transaction ID contained in the Allocate Request
   and the XOR-RELAYED-ADDRESS attribute is set to the relayed transport
   address.

   The XOR-RELAYED-ADDRESS attribute indicates the allocated IP address
   and port.  It is encoded in the same way as the XOR-MAPPED-ADDRESS
   [RFC5389].

   If the REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY attribute is absent, the server MUST
   allocate an IPv4 relayed transport address for the TURN client.  If
   allocation of IPv4 addresses is disabled by local policy, the server

Camarillo, et al.        Expires January 9, 2011                [Page 5]
Internet-Draft   TURN Extension for IPv4/IPv6 transition       July 2010

   returns a a 440 (Address Family not Supported) Allocate Error
   Response.

   If the server does not support the address family requested by the
   client, it MUST generate an Allocate Error Response, and it MUST
   include an ERROR-CODE attribute with the 440 (Address Family not
   Supported) response code, which is defined in Section 4.2.1.

4.2.1.  Unsupported Address Family

   This document defines the following new error response code:

   440 (Address Family not Supported):  The server did not support the
      address family requested by the client.

4.3.  Receiving an Allocate Error Response

   If the client receives an Allocate error response with the 440
   (Unsupported Address Family) error code, the client MUST NOT retry
   its request.

5.  Refreshing an Allocation

   The behavior specified here affects the processing defined in Section
   7 of [I-D.ietf-behave-turn].

5.1.  Sending a Refresh Request

   To perform an allocation refresh, the client generates a Refresh
   Request as described in Section 7.1 of [I-D.ietf-behave-turn].  The
   client MUST NOT include any REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY attribute in its
   Refresh Request.

5.2.  Receiving a Refresh Request

   If a server receives a Refresh Request with a REQUESTED-ADDRESS-
   FAMILY attribute, and the attribute's value doesn't match the address
   family of the allocation, the server MUST reply with a 443 (Peer
   Address Family Mismatch) Refresh Error Response.

6.  CreatePermission

   The behavior specified here affects the processing defined in Section
   9 of [I-D.ietf-behave-turn].

Camarillo, et al.        Expires January 9, 2011                [Page 6]
Internet-Draft   TURN Extension for IPv4/IPv6 transition       July 2010

6.1.  Sending a CreatePermission Request

   The client MUST only include XOR-PEER-ADDRESS attributes with
   addresses of the same address family as the relayed transport address
   for the allocation.

6.2.  Receiving a CreatePermission request

   If an XOR-PEER-ADDRESS attribute contains an address of an address
   family different than the relayed transport address for the
   allocation, the server MUST generate an error response with the 443
   (Peer Address Family Mismatch) response code, which is defined in
   Section 6.2.1.

6.2.1.  Peer Address Family Mismatch

   This document defines the following new error response code:

   443 (Peer Address Family Mismatch):  A peer address was of a
      different address family than the relayed transport address of the
      allocation.

7.  Channels

   The behavior specified here affects the processing defined in Section
   11 of [I-D.ietf-behave-turn].

7.1.  Sending a ChannelBind Request

   The client MUST only include a XOR-PEER-ADDRESS attribute with an
   address of the same address family as the relayed transport address
   for the allocation.

7.2.  Receiving a ChannelBind Request

   If the XOR-PEER-ADDRESS attribute contains an address of an address
   family different than the relayed transport address for the
   allocation, the server MUST generate an error response with the 443
   (Peer Address Family Mismatch) response code, which is defined in
   Section 6.2.1.

8.  Packet Translations

   The TURN specification [I-D.ietf-behave-turn] describes how TURN
   relays should relay traffic consisting of IPv4 packets (i.e., IPv4-
   to-IPv4 translations).  The relay translates the IP addresses and

Camarillo, et al.        Expires January 9, 2011                [Page 7]
Internet-Draft   TURN Extension for IPv4/IPv6 transition       July 2010

   port numbers of the packets based on the allocation's state data.
   How to translate other header fields is also specified in
   [I-D.ietf-behave-turn].  This document addresses IPv4-to-IPv6, IPv6-
   to-IPv4, and IPv6-to-IPv6 translations.

   TURN relays performing any translation MUST translate the IP
   addresses and port numbers of the packets based on the allocation's
   state information as specified in [I-D.ietf-behave-turn].  The
   following sections specify how to translate other header fields.

   As discussed in Section 2.6 of [I-D.ietf-behave-turn], translations
   in TURN are designed so that a TURN server can be implemented as an
   application that runs in userland under commonly available operating
   systems and that does not require special privileges.  The
   translations specified in the following sections follow this
   principle.

   The descriptions below have two parts: a preferred behavior and an
   alternate behavior.  The server SHOULD implement the preferred
   behavior.  Otherwise, the server MUST implement the alternate
   behavior and MUST NOT do anything else.

8.1.  IPv4-to-IPv6 Translations

   Traffic Class

      Preferred behavior: as specified in Section 3 of
      [I-D.ietf-behave-v6v4-xlate].

      Alternate behavior: the relay sets the Traffic Class to the
      default value for outgoing packets.

   Flow Label

      Preferred behavior: The relay sets the Flow label to 0.  The relay
      can choose to set the Flow label to a different value if it
      supports [RFC3697].

      Alternate behavior: the relay sets the Flow label to the default
      value for outgoing packets.

   Hop Limit

Camarillo, et al.        Expires January 9, 2011                [Page 8]
Internet-Draft   TURN Extension for IPv4/IPv6 transition       July 2010

      Preferred behavior: as specified in Section 3 of
      [I-D.ietf-behave-v6v4-xlate].

      Alternate behavior: the relay sets the Hop Limit to the default
      value for outgoing packets.

   Fragmentation

      Preferred behavior: as specified in Section 3 of
      [I-D.ietf-behave-v6v4-xlate].

      Alternate behavior: the relay assembles incoming fragments.  The
      relay follows its default behavior to send outgoing packets.

      For both preferred and alternate behavior, the DONT-FRAGMENT
      attribute ([I-D.ietf-behave-turn], Section 14.8) MUST be ignored
      by the server.

   Extension Headers

      Preferred behavior: the relay sends outgoing packet without any
      IPv6 extension headers, with the exception of the Fragmentation
      header as described above.

      Alternate behavior: same as preferred.

8.2.  IPv6-to-IPv6 Translations

   Flow Label

   The relay should consider that it is handling two different IPv6
   flows.  Therefore, the Flow label [RFC3697] SHOULD NOT be copied as
   part of the translation.

      Preferred behavior: The relay sets the Flow label to 0.  The relay
      can choose to set the Flow label to a different value if it
      supports [RFC3697].

      Alternate behavior: the relay sets the Flow label to the default
      value for outgoing packets.

   Hop Limit

Camarillo, et al.        Expires January 9, 2011                [Page 9]
Internet-Draft   TURN Extension for IPv4/IPv6 transition       July 2010

      Preferred behavior: the relay acts as a regular router with
      respect to decrementing the Hop Limit and generating an ICMPv6
      error if it reaches zero.

      Alternate behavior: the relay sets the Hop Limit to the default
      value for outgoing packets.

   Fragmentation

      Preferred behavior: If the incoming packet did not include a
      Fragment header and the outgoing packet size does not exceed the
      outgoing link's MTU, the relay sends the outgoing packet without a
      Fragment header.

      If the incoming packet did not include a Fragment header and the
      outgoing packet size exceeds the outgoing link's MTU, the relay
      drops the outgoing packet and send an ICMP message of type 2 code
      0 ("Packet too big") to the sender of the incoming packet.  If the
      packet is being sent to the peer, the relay reduces the MTU
      reported in the ICMP message by 48 bytes to allow room for the
      overhead of a Data indication.

      If the incoming packet included a Fragment header and the outgoing
      packet size (with a Fragment header included) does not exceed the
      outgoing link's MTU, the relay sends the outgoing packet with a
      Fragment header.  The relay sets the fields of the Fragment header
      as appropriate for a packet originating from the server.

      If the incoming packet included a Fragment header and the outgoing
      packet size exceeds the outgoing link's MTU, the relay MUST
      fragment the outgoing packet into fragments of no more than 1280
      bytes.  The relay sets the fields of the Fragment header as
      appropriate for a packet originating from the server.

      Alternate behavior: the relay assembles incoming fragments.  The
      relay follows its default behavior to send outgoing packets.

      For both preferred and alternate behavior, the DONT-FRAGMENT
      attribute MUST be ignored by the server.

   Extension Headers

      Preferred behavior: the relay sends outgoing packet without any
      IPv6 extension headers, with the exception of the Fragmentation
      header as described above.

Internet-Draft   TURN Extension for IPv4/IPv6 transition       July 2010

      Alternate behavior: same as preferred.

8.3.  IPv6-to-IPv4 Translations

   Type of Service and Precedence

      Preferred behavior: as specified in Section 4 of
      [I-D.ietf-behave-v6v4-xlate].

      Alternate behavior: the relay sets the Type of Service and
      Precedence to the default value for outgoing packets.

   Time to Live

      Preferred behavior: as specified in Section 4 of
      [I-D.ietf-behave-v6v4-xlate].

      Alternate behavior: the relay sets the Time to Live to the default
      value for outgoing packets.

   Fragmentation

      Preferred behavior: as specified in Section 4 of
      [I-D.ietf-behave-v6v4-xlate].  Additionally, when the outgoing
      packet's size exceeds the outgoing link's MTU, the relay needs to
      generate an ICMP error (ICMPv6 Packet Too Big) reporting the MTU
      size.  If the packet is being sent to the peer, the relay SHOULD
      reduce the MTU reported in the ICMP message by 48 bytes to allow
      room for the overhead of a Data indication.

      Alternate behavior: the relay assembles incoming fragments.  The
      relay follows its default behavior to send outgoing packets.

      For both preferred and alternate behavior, the DONT-FRAGMENT

9.  Security Considerations

   Translation between IPv4 and IPv6 creates a new way for clients to
   obtain IPv4 or IPv6 access which they did not have before.  For
   example, an IPv4-only client having access to a TURN server
   implementing this specification is now able to access the IPv6
   internet.  This needs to be considered when establishing security and

   monitoring policies.

   The loop attack described in [I-D.ietf-behave-turn] Section 17.1.7
   may be more easily done in cases where address spoofing is easier to
   accomplish over IPv6.  Mitigation of this attack over IPv6 is the
   same as for IPv4.

   All the security considerations applicable to STUN [RFC5389] and TURN
   [I-D.ietf-behave-turn] are applicable to this document as well.

9.1.  Tunnel Amplification Attack

   An attacker might attempt to cause data packets to loop numerous
   times between a TURN server and a tunnel between IPv4 and IPv6.  The
   attack goes as follows.

   Suppose an attacker knows that a tunnel endpoint will forward
   encapsulated packets from a given IPv6 address (this doesn't
   necessarily need to be the tunnel endpoint's address).  Suppose he
   then spoofs two packets from this address:
   1.  An allocate request asking for a v4 address, and
   2.  A ChannelBind request establishing a channel to the IPv4 address
       of the tunnel endpoint

   Then he has set up an amplification attack:
   o  The TURN relay will re-encapsulate IPv6 UDP data in v4 and send it
      to the tunnel endpoint
   o  The tunnel endpoint will decapsulate packets from the v4 interface
      and send them to v6

   So if the attacker sends a packet of the following form...

     IPv6: src=2001:DB9::1 dst=2001:DB8::2
     UDP:  <ports>
     TURN: <channel id>
     IPv6: src=2001:DB9::1 dst=2001:DB8::2
     UDP:  <ports>
     TURN: <channel id>
     IPv6: src=2001:DB9::1 dst=2001:DB8::2
     UDP:  <ports>
     TURN: <channel id>
     ...

   Then the TURN relay and the tunnel endpoint will send it back and
   forth until the last TURN header is consumed, at which point the TURN
   relay will send an empty packet, which the tunnel endpoint will drop.

   The amplification potential here is limited by the MTU, so it's not

   huge: IPv6+UDP+TURN takes 334 bytes, so you could get a four-to-one
   amplification out of a 1500-byte packet.  But the attacker could
   still increase traffic volume by sending multiple packets or by
   establishing multiple channels spoofed from different addresses
   behind the same tunnel endpoint.

   The attack is mitigated as follows.  It is RECOMMENDED that TURN
   relays not accept allocation or channel binding requests from
   addresses known to be tunneled, and that they not forward data to
   such addresses.  In particular, a TURN relay MUST NOT accept Teredo
   or 6to4 addresses in these requests.

10.  IANA Considerations

   The IANA is requested to register the following values under the STUN
   Attributes registry and under the STUN Error Codes registry.

10.1.  New STUN Attribute

     0x0017: REQUESTED-ADDRESS-FAMILY

10.2.  New STUN Error Codes

     440  Address Family not Supported
     443  Peer Address Family Mismatch
