                       Proxying Ethernet in HTTP
                 draft-ietf-masque-connect-ethernet-02

Abstract

   This document describes how to proxy Ethernet frames in HTTP.  This
   protocol is similar to IP proxying in HTTP, but for Layer 2 instead
   of Layer 3.  More specifically, this document defines a protocol that
   allows an HTTP client to create Layer 2 Ethernet tunnel through an
   HTTP server to an attached physical or virtual Ethernet segment.

Internet-Draft              CONNECT-ETHERNET                  April 2024

1.  Introduction

   HTTP provides the CONNECT method (see Section 9.3.6 of [HTTP]) for
   creating a TCP [TCP] tunnel to a destination, a similar mechanism for
   UDP [CONNECT-UDP], and an additional mechanism for IP [CONNECT-IP].
   However, these mechanisms can't carry layer 2 frames without further
   encapsulation inside of IP, for instance with EtherIP [ETHERIP], GUE
   [GUE] or L2TP [L2TP] [L2TPv3], which imposes an additional MTU cost.

   This document describes a protocol for exchanging Ethernet frames
   with an HTTP server.  Either participant in the HTTP connection can
   then relay Ethernet frames to and from a local or virtual interface,
   allowing the bridging of two Ethernet broadcast domains to establish
   a Layer 2 VPN.  This can simplify connectivity to network-connected
   appliances that are configured to only interact with peers on the
   same Ethernet broadcast domain.

   This protocol supports all existing versions of HTTP by using HTTP
   Datagrams [HTTP-DGRAM].  When using HTTP/2 [HTTP/2] or HTTP/3
   [HTTP/3], it uses HTTP Extended CONNECT as described in
   [EXT-CONNECT2] and [EXT-CONNECT3].  When using HTTP/1.x [HTTP/1.1],
   it uses HTTP Upgrade as defined in Section 7.8 of [HTTP].

2.  Conventions and Definitions

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

   In this document, we use the term "Ethernet proxy" to refer to the
   HTTP server that responds to the Ethernet proxying request.  The term
   "client" is used in the HTTP sense; the client constructs the
   Ethernet proxying request.  If there are HTTP intermediaries (as
   defined in Section 3.7 of [HTTP]) between the client and the Ethernet
   proxy, those are referred to as "intermediaries" in this document.
   The term "Ethernet proxying endpoints" refers to both the client and
   the Ethernet proxy.

   This document uses terminology from [QUIC].  Where this document
   defines protocol types, the definition format uses the notation from
   Section 1.3 of [QUIC].  This specification uses the variable-length
   integer encoding from Section 16 of [QUIC].  Variable-length integer
   values do not need to be encoded in the minimum number of bytes
   necessary.

   Note that, when the HTTP version in use does not support multiplexing
   streams (such as HTTP/1.1), any reference to "stream" in this
   document represents the entire connection.

3.  Configuration of Clients

   Clients are configured to use Ethernet proxying over HTTP via a URL.

   Examples are shown below:

   https://example.org/.well-known/masque/ethernet/
   https://proxy.example.org:4443/masque/ethernet/
   https://proxy.example.org:4443/masque/ethernet/
   https://masque.example.org/?user=bob

4.  Tunnelling Ethernet over HTTP

   To allow negotiation of a tunnel for Ethernet over HTTP, this
   document defines the "connect-ethernet" HTTP upgrade token.  The
   resulting Ethernet tunnels use the Capsule Protocol (see Section 3.2
   of [HTTP-DGRAM]) with HTTP Datagrams in the format defined in
   Section 6.

   To initiate an Ethernet tunnel associated with a single HTTP stream,
   a client issues a request containing the "connect-ethernet" upgrade
   token.

   By virtue of the definition of the Capsule Protocol (see Section 3.2
   of [HTTP-DGRAM]), Ethernet proxying requests do not carry any message
   content.  Similarly, successful Ethernet proxying responses also do
   not carry any message content.

   Ethernet proxying over HTTP MUST be operated over TLS or QUIC
   encryption, or another equivalent encryption protocol, to provide
   confidentiality, integrity, and authentication.

4.1.  Ethernet Proxy Handling

   Upon receiving an Ethernet proxying request:

   *  if the recipient is configured to use another HTTP proxy, it will
      act as an intermediary by forwarding the request to another HTTP
      server.  Note that such intermediaries may need to re-encode the
      request if they forward it using a version of HTTP that is
      different from the one used to receive it, as the request encoding
      differs by version (see below).

Sedeño                   Expires 19 October 2024                [Page 4]
Internet-Draft              CONNECT-ETHERNET                  April 2024

   *  otherwise, the recipient will act as an Ethernet proxy.  The
      Ethernet proxy can choose to reject the Ethernet proxying request
      or establish an Ethernet tunnel.

   The lifetime of the Ethernet tunnel is tied to the Ethernet proxying
   request stream.

   A successful response (as defined in Sections 4.3 and 4.5) indicates
   that the Ethernet proxy has established an Ethernet tunnel and is
   willing to proxy Ethernet frames.  Any response other than a
   successful response indicates that the request has failed; thus, the
   client MUST abort the request.

4.2.  HTTP/1.1 Request

   When using HTTP/1.1 [HTTP/1.1], an Ethernet proxying request will
   meet the following requirements:

   *  the method SHALL be "GET".

   *  the request SHALL include a single Host header field containing
      the host and optional port of the Ethernet proxy.

   *  the request SHALL include a Connection header field with value
      "Upgrade" (note that this requirement is case-insensitive as per
      Section 7.6.1 of [HTTP]).

   *  the request SHALL include an Upgrade header field with value
      "connect-ethernet".

   An Ethernet proxying request that does not conform to these
   restrictions is malformed.  The recipient of such a malformed request
   MUST respond with an error and SHOULD use the 400 (Bad Request)
   status code.

   For example, if the client is configured with the URL
   "https://example.org/.well-known/masque/ethernet/" and wishes to open
   an Ethernet tunnel, it could send the following request.

   GET https://example.org/.well-known/masque/ethernet/ HTTP/1.1
   Host: example.org
   Connection: Upgrade
   Upgrade: connect-ethernet
   Capsule-Protocol: ?1

4.3.  HTTP/1.1 Response

   The server indicates a successful response by replying with the
   following requirements:

   *  the HTTP status code on the response SHALL be 101 (Switching
      Protocols).

   *  the response SHALL include a Connection header field with value
      "Upgrade" (note that this requirement is case-insensitive as per
      Section 7.6.1 of [HTTP]).

   *  the response SHALL include a single Upgrade header field with
      value "connect-ethernet".

   *  the response SHALL meet the requirements of HTTP responses that
      start the Capsule Protocol; see Section 3.2 of [HTTP-DGRAM].

   If any of these requirements are not met, the client MUST treat this
   proxying attempt as failed and close the connection.

   For example, the server could respond with:

   HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols
   Connection: Upgrade
   Upgrade: connect-ethernet
   Capsule-Protocol: ?1

                    Figure 2: Example HTTP/1.1 Response

4.4.  HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 Requests

   When using HTTP/2 [HTTP/2] or HTTP/3 [HTTP/3], Ethernet proxying
   requests use HTTP Extended CONNECT.  This requires that servers send
   an HTTP Setting as specified in [EXT-CONNECT2] and [EXT-CONNECT3] and
   that requests use HTTP pseudo-header fields with the following
   requirements:

   *  The :method pseudo-header field SHALL be "CONNECT".

   *  The :protocol pseudo-header field SHALL be "connect-ethernet".

   *  The :authority pseudo-header field SHALL contain the authority of
      the IP proxy.

   *  The :path and :scheme pseudo-header fields SHALL NOT be empty.
      Their values SHALL contain the scheme and path from the configured
      URL; see Section 3.

Internet-Draft              CONNECT-ETHERNET                  April 2024

   An Ethernet proxying request that does not conform to these
   restrictions is malformed; see Section 8.1.1 of [HTTP/2] and
   Section 4.1.2 of [HTTP/3].

   For example, if the client is configured with the URL
   "https://example.org/.well-known/masque/ethernet/" and wishes to open
   an Ethernet tunnel, it could send the following request.

   HEADERS
   :method = CONNECT
   :protocol = connect-ethernet
   :scheme = https
   :path = /.well-known/masque/ethernet/
   :authority = example.org
   capsule-protocol = ?1

                 Figure 3: Example HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 Request

4.5.  HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 Responses

   The server indicates a successful response by replying with the
   following requirements:

   *  the HTTP status code on the response SHALL be in the 2xx
      (Successful) range.

   *  the response SHALL meet the requirements of HTTP responses that
      start the Capsule Protocol; see Section 3.2 of [HTTP-DGRAM].

   If any of these requirements are not met, the client MUST treat this
   proxying attempt as failed and abort the request.  As an example, any
   status code in the 3xx range will be treated as a failure and cause
   the client to abort the request.

   For example, the server could respond with:

   HEADERS
   :status = 200
   capsule-protocol = ?1

5.  Context Identifiers

   The mechanism for proxying Ethernet in HTTP defined in this document
   allows future extensions to exchange HTTP Datagrams that carry
   different semantics from Ethernet frames.  Some of these extensions
   can augment Ethernet payloads with additional data or compress
   Ethernet frame header fields, while others can exchange data that is
   completely separate from Ethernet payloads.  In order to accomplish
   this, all HTTP Datagrams associated with Ethernet proxying requests
   streams start with a Context ID field; see Section 6.

   Context IDs are 62-bit integers (0-2^62-1).  Context IDs are encoded
   as variable-length integers; see Section 16 of [QUIC].  The Context
   ID value of 0 is reserved for Ethernet payloads, while non-zero
   values are dynamically allocated.  Non-zero even-numbered Context-IDs
   are client allocated, and odd-numbered Context IDs are proxy-
   allocated.  The Context ID namespace is tied to a given HTTP request;
   it is possible for a Context ID with the same numeric value to be
   simultaneously allocated in distinct requests, potentially with
   different semantics.  Context IDs MUST NOT be re-allocated within a
   given HTTP request but MAY be allocated in any order.  The Context ID
   allocation restrictions to the use of even-numbered and odd-numbered
   Context IDs exist in order to avoid the need for synchronization
   between endpoints.  However, once a Context ID has been allocated,
   those restrictions do not apply to the use of the Context ID; it can
   be used by either the client or the Ethernet proxy, independent of
   which endpoint initially allocated it.

   Registration is the action by which an endpoint informs its peer of
   the semantics and format of a given Context ID.  This document does
   not define how registration occurs.  Future extensions MAY use HTTP
   header fields or capsules to register Context IDs.  Depending on the
   method being used, it is possible for datagrams to be received with
   Context IDs that have not yet been registered.  For instance, this
   can be due to reordering of the packet containing the datagram and
   the packet containing the registration message during transmission.

6.  HTTP Datagram Payload Format

   When associated with Ethernet proxying request streams, the HTTP
   Datagram Payload field of HTTP Datagrams (see [HTTP-DGRAM]) has the
   format defined in Figure 5.  Note that when HTTP Datagrams are
   encoded using QUIC DATAGRAM frames, the Context ID field defined
   below directly follows the Quarter Stream ID field which is at the
   start of the QUIC DATAGRAM frame payload.

   Ethernet Proxying HTTP Datagram Payload {
     Context ID (i),
     Payload (..),
   }

              Figure 5: Ethernet Proxying HTTP Datagram Format

   The Ethernet Proxying HTTP Datagram Payload contains the following
   fields:

   Context ID:  A variable-length integer that contains the value of the
      Context ID.  If an HTTP/3 datagram which carries an unknown
      Context ID is received, the receiver SHALL either drop that
      datagram silently or buffer it temporarily (on the order of a
      round trip) while awaiting the registration of the corresponding
      Context ID.
   Payload:  The payload of the datagram, whose semantics depend on
      value of the previous field.  Note that this field can be empty.

   Ethernet frames are encoded using HTTP Datagrams with the Context ID
   set to zero.  When the Context ID is set to zero, the Payload field
   contains a full Layer 2 Ethernet Frame (from the MAC destination
   field until the last byte of the Frame check sequence field).

7.  Ethernet Frame Handling

   This document defines a tunnelling mechanism that is conceptually an
   Ethernet link.  Implementations might need to handle some of the
   responsibilities of an Ethernet switch or bridge if they do not
   delegate them to another implementation such as a kernel.  Those
   responsibilities are beyond the scope of this document, and include,
   but are not limited to, the handling of broadcast packets and
   multicast groups.

8.  Examples

   Ethernet proxying in HTTP enables the bridging of Ethernet broadcast
   domains.  These examples are provided to help illustrate some of the
   ways in which Ethernet proxying can be used.

8.1.  Remote Access L2VPN

   The following example shows a point to point VPN setup where a client
   appears to be connected to a remote Layer 2 network.

                        Figure 6: L2VPN Tunnel Setup

   In this case, the client connects to the Ethernet proxy and
   immediately can start sending ethernet frames to the attached
   broadcast domain.

   In this case, the client connects to the Ethernet proxy and
   immediately can start relaying Ethernet frames from its attached
   broadcast domain to the proxy.  The difference between this example
   and Section 8.1 is limited to what the Client is doing with the the
   tunnel; the exchange between the Client and the Proxy is the same as
   in Figure 7 above.

9.  Security Considerations

   There are risks in allowing arbitrary clients to establish a tunnel
   to a Layer 2 network.  Bad actors could abuse this capability to
   attack hosts on that network that they would otherwise be unable to
   reach.  HTTP servers that support Ethernet proxying SHOULD restrict
   its use to authenticated users.  Depending on the deployment,
   possible authentication mechanisms include mutual TLS between IP
   proxying endpoints, HTTP-based authentication via the HTTP
   Authorization header [HTTP], or even bearer tokens.  Proxies can
   enforce policies for authenticated users to further constrain client
   behavior or deal with possible abuse.  For example, proxies can rate
   limit individual clients that send an excessively large amount of
   traffic through the proxy.

   Users of this protocol may send arbitrary Ethernet frames through the
   tunnel, including frames with falsified source MAC addresses.  This
   could allow impersonation of other hosts, poisoning of ARP and CAM
   tables, and cause a denial of service to other hosts on the network.
   These are the same attacks available to an arbitrary client with
   physical access to the network.
