1.  Introduction

   This document describes a method of proxying IP packets over HTTP.
   When using HTTP/2 or HTTP/3, IP proxying uses HTTP Extended CONNECT
   as described in [EXT-CONNECT2] and [EXT-CONNECT3].  When using
   HTTP/1.x, IP proxying uses HTTP Upgrade as defined in Section 7.8 of
   [SEMANTICS].  This protocol is similar to CONNECT-UDP [CONNECT-UDP],
   but allows transmitting arbitrary IP packets, without being limited
   to just TCP like CONNECT [SEMANTICS] or UDP like CONNECT-UDP.

   The HTTP Upgrade Token defined for this mechanism is "connect-ip",
   which is also referred to as CONNECT-IP in this document.

   The CONNECT-IP protocol allows endpoints to set up a tunnel for
   proxying IP packets using an HTTP proxy.  This can be used for
   various solutions that include general-purpose packet tunnelling,
   such as for a point-to-point or point-to-network VPN, or for limited
   forwarding of packets to specific hosts.

   Forwarded IP packets can be sent efficiently via the proxy using HTTP
   Datagram support [HTTP-DGRAM].

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 "proxy" to refer to the HTTP server
   that responds to the CONNECT-IP request.  If there are HTTP
   intermediaries (as defined in Section 3.7 of [SEMANTICS]) between the
   client and the proxy, those are referred to as "intermediaries" in
   this document.

3.  Configuration of Clients

   Clients are configured to use IP Proxying over HTTP via an URI
   Template [TEMPLATE].  The URI template MAY contain two variables:
   "target" and "ipproto" (Section 4.1).  The optionality of the
   variables needs to be considered when defining the template so that
   either the variable is self-identifying or it works to exclude it in
   the syntax.

Pauly, et al.             Expires 1 April 2023                  [Page 3]
Internet-Draft                HTTP IP Proxy               September 2022

   Examples are shown below:

   https://example.org/.well-known/masque/ip/{target}/{ipproto}/
   https://proxy.example.org:4443/masque/ip?t={target}&i={ipproto}
   https://proxy.example.org:4443/masque/ip{?target,ipproto}
   https://masque.example.org/?user=bob

                      Figure 1: URI Template Examples

   The following requirements apply to the URI Template:

   *  The URI Template MUST be a level 3 template or lower.

   *  The URI Template MUST be in absolute form, and MUST include non-
      empty scheme, authority and path components.

   *  The path component of the URI Template MUST start with a slash
      "/".

   *  All template variables MUST be within the path or query components
      of the URI.

   *  The URI template MAY contain the two variables "target" and
      "ipproto" and MAY contain other variables.  If the "target" or
      "ipproto" variables are included, their values MUST NOT be empty.
      Clients can instead use "*" to indicate wildcard or no-preference
      values, see Section 4.1.

   *  The URI Template MUST NOT contain any non-ASCII unicode characters
      and MUST only contain ASCII characters in the range 0x21-0x7E
      inclusive (note that percent-encoding is allowed; see Section 2.1
      of [URI].

   *  The URI Template MUST NOT use Reserved Expansion ("+" operator),
      Fragment Expansion ("#" operator), Label Expansion with Dot-
      Prefix, Path Segment Expansion with Slash-Prefix, nor Path-Style
      Parameter Expansion with Semicolon-Prefix.

   Clients SHOULD validate the requirements above; however, clients MAY
   use a general-purpose URI Template implementation that lacks this
   specific validation.  If a client detects that any of the
   requirements above are not met by a URI Template, the client MUST
   reject its configuration and abort the request without sending it to
   the IP proxy.

   As with CONNECT-UDP, some client configurations for CONNECT-IP
   proxies will only allow the user to configure the proxy host and
   proxy port.  Clients with such limitations MAY attempt to access IP

   proxying capabilities using the default template, which is defined
   as: "https://$PROXY_HOST:$PROXY_PORT/.well-known/masque/
   ip/{target}/{ipproto}/", where $PROXY_HOST and $PROXY_PORT are the
   configured host and port of the IP proxy, respectively.  IP proxy
   deployments SHOULD offer service at this location if they need to
   interoperate with such clients.

4.  The CONNECT-IP Protocol

   This document defines the "connect-ip" HTTP Upgrade Token. "connect-
   ip" uses the Capsule Protocol as defined in [HTTP-DGRAM].

   When sending its IP proxying request, the client SHALL perform URI
   template expansion to determine the path and query of its request,
   see Section 3.

   When using HTTP/2 or HTTP/3, the following requirements apply to
   requests:

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

   *  The ":protocol" pseudo-header field SHALL be set to "connect-ip".

   *  The ":authority" pseudo-header field SHALL contain the host and
      port of the proxy, not an individual endpoint with which a
      connection is desired.

   *  The contents of the ":path" pseudo-header SHALL be determined by
      the URI template expansion, see Section 3.  Variables in the URI
      template can determine the scope of the request, such as
      requesting full-tunnel IP packet forwarding, or a specific proxied
      flow, see Section 4.1.

   The client SHOULD also include the "Capsule-Protocol" header with a
   value of "?1" to negotiate support for sending and receiving HTTP
   capsules ([HTTP-DGRAM]).

   Any 2xx (Successful) response indicates that the proxy is willing to
   open an IP forwarding tunnel between it and the client.  Any response
   other than a successful response indicates that the tunnel has not
   been formed.

   A proxy MUST NOT send any Transfer-Encoding or Content-Length header
   fields in a 2xx (Successful) response to the IP Proxying request.  A
   client MUST treat a successful response containing any Content-Length
   or Transfer-Encoding header fields as malformed.

Pauly, et al.             Expires 1 April 2023                  [Page 5]
Internet-Draft                HTTP IP Proxy               September 2022

   The lifetime of the forwarding tunnel is tied to the CONNECT stream.
   Closing the stream (in HTTP/3 via the FIN bit on a QUIC STREAM frame,
   or a QUIC RESET_STREAM frame) closes the associated forwarding
   tunnel.

   Along with a successful response, the proxy can send capsules to
   assign addresses and advertise routes to the client (Section 4.2).
   The client can also assign addresses and advertise routes to the
   proxy for network-to-network routing.

4.1.  Limiting Request Scope

   Unlike CONNECT-UDP requests, which require specifying a target host,
   CONNECT-IP requests can allow endpoints to send arbitrary IP packets
   to any host.  The client can choose to restrict a given request to a
   specific prefix or IP protocol by adding parameters to its request.
   When the server knows that a request is scoped to a target prefix or
   protocol, it can leverage this information to optimize its resource
   allocation; for example, the server can assign the same public IP
   address to two CONNECT-IP requests that are scoped to different
   prefixes and/or different protocols.

   The scope of the request is indicated by the client to the proxy via
   the "target" and "ipproto" variables of the URI Template; see
   Section 3.  Both the "target" and "ipproto" variables are optional;
   if they are not included they are considered to carry the wildcard
   value "*".

   target:  The variable "target" contains a hostname or IP prefix of a
      specific host to which the client wants to proxy packets.  If the
      "target" variable is not specified or its value is "*", the client
      is requesting to communicate with any allowable host. "target"
      supports using DNS names, IPv6 literals and IPv4 literals.  Note
      that IPv6 scoped addressing zone identifiers are not supported.
      If the target is an IP prefix (IP address optionally followed by a
      percent-encoded slash followed by the prefix length in bits), the
      request will only support a single IP version.  If the target is a
      hostname, the server is expected to perform DNS resolution to
      determine which route(s) to advertise to the client.  The server
      SHOULD send a ROUTE_ADVERTISEMENT capsule that includes routes for
      all addresses that were resolved for the requested hostname, that
      are accessible to the server, and belong to an address family for
      which the server also sends an Assigned Address.
   ipproto:  The variable "ipproto" contains an IP protocol number, as

Pauly, et al.             Expires 1 April 2023                  [Page 6]
Internet-Draft                HTTP IP Proxy               September 2022

      defined in the "Assigned Internet Protocol Numbers" IANA registry.
      If present, it specifies that a client only wants to proxy a
      specific IP protocol for this request.  If the value is "*", or
      the variable is not included, the client is requesting to use any
      IP protocol.

   Using the terms IPv6address, IPv4address, and reg-name from [URI],
   the "target" and "ipproto" variables MUST adhere to the format in
   Figure 2, using notation from [ABNF].  Additionally:

   *  if "target" contains an IPv6 literal, the colons (":") MUST be
      percent-encoded.  For example, if the target host is
      "2001:db8::42", it will be encoded in the URI as
      "2001%3Adb8%3A%3A42".

   *  If present, the IP prefix length in "target" SHALL be preceded by
      a percent-encoded slash ("/"): "%2F".  The IP prefix length MUST
      represent an integer between 0 and the length of the IP address in
      bits, inclusive.

   *  "ipproto" MUST represent an integer between 0 and 255 inclusive,
      or the wildcard value "*".

   target = IPv6prefix / IPv4prefix / reg-name / "*"
   IPv6prefix = IPv6address ["%2F" 1*3DIGIT]
   IPv4prefix = IPv4address ["%2F" 1*2DIGIT]
   ipproto = 1*3DIGIT / "*"

4.2.  Capsules

   This document defines multiple new capsule types that allow endpoints
   to exchange IP configuration information.  Both endpoints MAY send
   any number of these new capsules.

4.2.1.  ADDRESS_ASSIGN Capsule

   The ADDRESS_ASSIGN capsule (see Section 11.3 for the value of the
   capsule type) allows an endpoint to inform its peer of the list of IP
   addresses or prefixes it has assigned to it.  Every capsule contains
   the full list of IP prefixes currently assigned to the receiver.  Any
   of these addresses can be used as the source address on IP packets
   originated by the receiver of this capsule.

Pauly, et al.             Expires 1 April 2023                  [Page 7]
Internet-Draft                HTTP IP Proxy               September 2022

   ADDRESS_ASSIGN Capsule {
     Type (i) = ADDRESS_ASSIGN,
     Length (i),
     Assigned Address (..) ...,
   }

                  Figure 3: ADDRESS_ASSIGN Capsule Format

   The ADDRESS_ASSIGN capsule contains a sequence of zero or more
   Assigned Addresses.

   Assigned Address {
     Request ID (i),
     IP Version (8),
     IP Address (32..128),
     IP Prefix Length (8),
   }

                     Figure 4: Assigned Address Format

   Request ID:  If this address assignment is in response to an Address
      Request (see Section 4.2.2), then this field SHALL contain the
      value of the corresponding field in the request.  Otherwise, this
      field SHALL be zero.
   IP Version:  IP Version of this address assignment.  MUST be either 4
      or 6.
   IP Address:  Assigned IP address.  If the IP Version field has value
      4, the IP Address field SHALL have a length of 32 bits.  If the IP
      Version field has value 6, the IP Address field SHALL have a
      length of 128 bits.
   IP Prefix Length:  The number of bits in the IP Address that are used
      to define the prefix that is being assigned.  This MUST be less
      than or equal to the length of the IP Address field, in bits.  If
      the prefix length is equal to the length of the IP Address, the
      receiver of this capsule is only allowed to send packets from a
      single source address.  If the prefix length is less than the
      length of the IP address, the receiver of this capsule is allowed
      to send packets from any source address that falls within the
      prefix.

   Note that an ADDRESS_ASSIGN capsule can also indicate that a
   previously assigned address is no longer assigned.  An ADDRESS_ASSIGN
   capsule can also be empty.

   In some deployments of CONNECT-IP, an endpoint needs to be assigned
   an address by its peer before it knows what source address to set on
   its own packets.  For example, in the Remote Access case
   (Section 8.1) the client cannot send IP packets until it knows what

Pauly, et al.             Expires 1 April 2023                  [Page 8]
Internet-Draft                HTTP IP Proxy               September 2022

   address to use.  In these deployments, the endpoint that is expecting
   an address assignment MUST send an ADDRESS_REQUEST capsule.  This
   isn't required if the endpoint does not need any address assignment,
   for example when it is configured out-of-band with static addresses.

   While ADDRESS_ASSIGN capsules are commonly sent in response to
   ADDRESS_REQUEST capsules, endpoints MAY send ADDRESS_ASSIGN capsules
   unprompted.

4.2.2.  ADDRESS_REQUEST Capsule

   The ADDRESS_REQUEST capsule (see Section 11.3 for the value of the
   capsule type) allows an endpoint to request assignment of IP
   addresses from its peer.  The capsule allows the endpoint to
   optionally indicate a preference for which address it would get
   assigned.

   ADDRESS_REQUEST Capsule {
     Type (i) = ADDRESS_REQUEST,
     Length (i),
     Requested Address (..) ...,
   }

                  Figure 5: ADDRESS_REQUEST Capsule Format

   The ADDRESS_REQUEST capsule contains a sequence of zero or more
   Requested Addresses.

   Requested Address {
     Request ID (i),
     IP Version (8),
     IP Address (32..128),
     IP Prefix Length (8),
   }

                     Figure 6: Requested Address Format

   Request ID:  This is the identifier of this specific address request,
      each request from a given endpoint carries a different identifier.
      Request IDs MUST NOT be reused by an endpoint, and MUST NOT be
      zero.
   IP Version:  IP Version of this address request.  MUST be either 4 or
      6.
   IP Address:  Requested IP address.  If the IP Version field has value
      4, the IP Address field SHALL have a length of 32 bits.  If the IP
      Version field has value 6, the IP Address field SHALL have a
      length of 128 bits.
   IP Prefix Length:  Length of the IP Prefix requested, in bits.  MUST

Pauly, et al.             Expires 1 April 2023                  [Page 9]
Internet-Draft                HTTP IP Proxy               September 2022

      be lesser or equal to the length of the IP Address field, in bits.

   If the IP Address is all-zero (0.0.0.0 or ::), this indicates that
   the sender is requesting an address of that address family but does
   not have a preference for a specific address.  In that scenario, the
   prefix length still indicates the sender's preference for the prefix
   length it is requesting.

   Upon receiving the ADDRESS_REQUEST capsule, an endpoint SHOULD assign
   an IP address to its peer, and then respond with an ADDRESS_ASSIGN
   capsule to inform the peer of the assignment.  Note that the receiver
   of the ADDRESS_REQUEST capsule is not required to assign the
   requested address, and that it can also assign some requested
   addresses but not others.

4.2.3.  ROUTE_ADVERTISEMENT Capsule

   The ROUTE_ADVERTISEMENT capsule (see Section 11.3 for the value of
   the capsule type) allows an endpoint to communicate to its peer that
   it is willing to route traffic to a set of IP address ranges.  This
   indicates that the sender has an existing route to each address
   range, and notifies its peer that if the receiver of the
   ROUTE_ADVERTISEMENT capsule sends IP packets for one of these ranges
   in HTTP Datagrams, the sender of the capsule will forward them along
   its preexisting route.  Any address which is in one of the address
   ranges can be used as the destination address on IP packets

   The ROUTE_ADVERTISEMENT capsule contains a sequence of IP Address
   Ranges.

     Start IP Address (32..128),
     End IP Address (32..128),

Internet-Draft                HTTP IP Proxy               September 2022

   IP Version:  IP Version of this range.  MUST be either 4 or 6.
   Start IP Address and End IP Address:  Inclusive start and end IP
      address of the advertised range.  If the IP Version field has
      value 4, these fields SHALL have a length of 32 bits.  If the IP
      Version field has value 6, these fields SHALL have a length of 128
      bits.  The Start IP Address MUST be lesser or equal to the End IP
      Address.
   IP Protocol:  The Internet Protocol Number for traffic that can be
      sent to this range.  If the value is 0, all protocols are allowed.
      ICMP traffic is always allowed, regardless of the value of this
      field.

   Upon receiving the ROUTE_ADVERTISEMENT capsule, an endpoint MAY start
   routing IP packets in these ranges to its peer.

   Each ROUTE_ADVERTISEMENT contains the full list of address ranges.
   If multiple ROUTE_ADVERTISEMENT capsules are sent in one direction,
   each ROUTE_ADVERTISEMENT capsule supersedes prior ones.  In other
   words, if a given address range was present in a prior capsule but
   the most recently received ROUTE_ADVERTISEMENT capsule does not
   contain it, the receiver will consider that range withdrawn.

   If multiple ranges using the same IP protocol were to overlap, some
   routing table implementations might reject them.  To prevent overlap,
   the ranges are ordered; this places the burden on the sender and
   makes verification by the receiver much simpler.  If an IP Address
   Range A precedes an IP address range B in the same
   ROUTE_ADVERTISEMENT capsule, they MUST follow these requirements:

   *  IP Version of A MUST be lesser or equal than IP Version of B

   *  If the IP Version of A and B are equal, the IP Protocol of A MUST
      be lesser or equal than IP Protocol of B.

   *  If the IP Version and IP Protocol of A and B are both equal, the
      End IP Address of A MUST be strictly less than the Start IP
      Address of B.

   If an endpoint received a ROUTE_ADVERTISEMENT capsule that does not
   meet these requirements, it MUST abort the stream.

5.  Context Identifiers

   This protocol allows future extensions to exchange HTTP Datagrams
   which carry different semantics from IP packets.  For example, an
   extension could define a way to send compressed IP header fields.  In
   order to allow for this extensibility, all HTTP Datagrams associated
   with IP proxying request streams start with a context ID, see
   Section 6.

   Context IDs are 62-bit integers (0 to 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 IP packets, while non-zero
   values are dynamically allocated: non-zero even-numbered context IDs
   are client-allocated, and odd-numbered context IDs are server-
   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 assigned different semantics in distinct requests,
   potentially with different semantics.  Context IDs MUST NOT be re-
   allocated within a given HTTP namespace but MAY be allocated in any
   order.  Once allocated, any context ID can be used by both client and
   server - only allocation carries separate namespaces to avoid
   requiring synchronization.

   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.  Depending on the method being
   used, it is possible for datagrams to be received with Context IDs
   which have not yet been registered, for instance due to reordering of
   the datagram and the registration packets during transmission.

6.  HTTP Datagram Payload Format

   When associated with IP proxying request streams, the HTTP Datagram
   Payload field of HTTP Datagrams (see [HTTP-DGRAM]) has the format
   defined in Figure 9.  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:

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

                 Figure 9: IP Proxying HTTP Datagram Format

   Context ID:  A variable-length integer that contains the value of the

Pauly, et al.             Expires 1 April 2023                 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft                HTTP IP Proxy               September 2022

      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.

   IP packets 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 IP packet (from the IP Version field until the last
   byte of the IP Payload).

   Clients MAY optimistically start sending proxied IP packets before
   receiving the response to its IP proxying request, noting however
   that those may not be processed by the proxy if it responds to the
   request with a failure, or if the datagrams are received by the proxy
   before the request.  Since receiving addresses and routes is required
   in order to know that a packet can be sent through the tunnel, such
   optimistic packets might be dropped by the proxy if it chooses to
   provide different addressing or routing information than what the
   client assumed.

   When a CONNECT-IP endpoint receives an HTTP Datagram containing an IP
   packet, it will parse the packet's IP header, perform any local
   policy checks (e.g., source address validation), check their routing
   table to pick an outbound interface, and then send the IP packet on
   that interface.

   In the other direction, when a CONNECT-IP endpoint receives an IP
   packet, it checks to see if the packet matches the routes mapped for
   a CONNECT-IP forwarding tunnel, and performs the same forwarding
   checks as above before transmitting the packet over HTTP Datagrams.

   Note that CONNECT-IP endpoints will decrement the IP Hop Count (or
   TTL) upon encapsulation but not decapsulation.  In other words, the
   Hop Count is decremented right before an IP packet is transmitted in
   an HTTP Datagram.  This prevents infinite loops in the presence of
   routing loops, and matches the choices in IPsec [IPSEC].

   IPv6 requires that every link have an MTU of at least 1280 bytes
   [IPv6].  Since CONNECT-IP conveys IP packets in HTTP Datagrams and
   those can in turn be sent in QUIC DATAGRAM frames which cannot be
   fragmented [DGRAM], the MTU of a CONNECT-IP link can be limited by
   the MTU of the QUIC connection that CONNECT-IP is operating over.
   This can lead to situations where the IPv6 minimum link MTU is
   violated.  CONNECT-IP endpoints that support IPv6 MUST ensure that
   the CONNECT-IP tunnel link MTU is at least 1280 (i.e., that they can
   send HTTP Datagrams with payloads of at least 1280 bytes).  This can
   be accomplished using various techniques:

   *  if both endpoints know for certain that HTTP intermediaries are
      not in use, the endpoints can pad the QUIC INITIAL packets of the
      underlying QUIC connection that CONNECT-IP is running over.
      (Assuming QUIC version 1 is in use, the overhead is 1 byte type,
      20 bytes maximal connection ID length, 4 bytes maximal packet
      number length, 1 byte DATAGRAM frame type, 8 bytes maximal quarter
      stream ID, one byte for the zero context ID, and 16 bytes for the
      AEAD authentication tag, for a total of 51 bytes of overhead which
      corresponds to padding QUIC INITIAL packets to 1331 bytes or
      more.)

   *  CONNECT-IP endpoints can also send ICMPv6 echo requests with 1232
      bytes of data to ascertain the link MTU and tear down the tunnel
      if they do not receive a response.  Unless endpoints have an out
      of band means of guaranteeing that the previous techniques is
      sufficient, they MUST use this method.

   If an endpoint is using QUIC DATAGRAM frames to convey IPv6 packets,
   and it detects that the QUIC MTU is too low to allow sending 1280
   bytes, it MUST abort the CONNECT-IP stream.

   Endpoints MAY implement additional filtering policies on the IP
   packets they forward.

7.  Error Signalling

   Since CONNECT-IP endpoints often forward IP packets onwards to other
   network interfaces, they need to handle errors in the forwarding
   process.  For example, forwarding can fail if the endpoint doesn't
   have a route for the destination address, or if it is configured to
   reject a destination prefix by policy, or if the MTU of the outgoing
   link is lower than the size of the packet to be forwarded.  In such
   scenarios, CONNECT-IP endpoints SHOULD use ICMP [ICMP] [ICMPv6] to
   signal the forwarding error to its peer.

   Endpoints are free to select the most appropriate ICMP errors to
   send.  Some examples that are relevant for CONNECT-IP include:

Pauly, et al.             Expires 1 April 2023                 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft                HTTP IP Proxy               September 2022

   *  For invalid source addresses, send Destination Unreachable
      Section 3.1 of [ICMPv6] with code 5, "Source address failed
      ingress/egress policy".

   *  For unroutable destination addresses, send Destination Unreachable
      Section 3.1 of [ICMPv6] with a code 0, "No route to destination",
      or code 1, "Communication with destination administratively
      prohibited".

   *  For packets that cannot fit within the MTU of the outgoing link,
      send Packet Too Big Section 3.2 of [ICMPv6].

   In order to receive these errors, endpoints need to be prepared to
   receive ICMP packets.  If an endpoint sends ROUTE_ADVERTISEMENT
   capsules, its routes SHOULD include an allowance for receiving ICMP
   messages.  If an endpoint does not send ROUTE_ADVERTISEMENT capsules,
   such as a client opening an IP flow through a proxy, it SHOULD
   process proxied ICMP packets from its peer in order to receive these
   errors.  Note that ICMP messages can originate from a source address
   different from that of the CONNECT-IP peer.

8.  Examples

   CONNECT-IP enables many different use cases that can benefit from IP
   packet proxying and tunnelling.  These examples are provided to help
   illustrate some of the ways in which CONNECT-IP can be used.

8.1.  Remote Access VPN

   The following example shows a point-to-network VPN setup, where a
   client receives a set of local addresses, and can send to any remote
   server through the proxy.  Such VPN setups can be either full-tunnel
   or split-tunnel.

   +--------+ IP A         IP B +--------+              +---> IP D
   |        |-------------------|        | IP C         |
   | Client | IP Subnet C <-> ? | Server |--------------+---> IP E
   |        |-------------------|        |              |
   +--------+                   +--------+              +---> IP ...

                        Figure 10: VPN Tunnel Setup

   In this case, the client does not specify any scope in its request.
   The server assigns the client an IPv4 address (192.0.2.11) and a
   full-tunnel route of all IPv4 addresses (0.0.0.0/0).  The client can
   then send to any IPv4 host using a source address in its assigned
   prefix.

   A setup for a split-tunnel VPN (the case where the client can only

8.2.  IP Flow Forwarding

   The following example shows an IP flow forwarding setup, where a
   client requests to establish a forwarding tunnel to
   target.example.com using SCTP (IP protocol 132), and receives a
   single local address and remote address it can use for transmitting
   packets.  A similar approach could be used for any other IP protocol
   that isn't easily proxied with existing HTTP methods, such as ICMP,
   ESP, etc.

   +--------+ IP A         IP B +--------+
   |        |-------------------|        | IP C
   | Client |    IP C <-> D     | Server |---------> IP D
   |        |-------------------|        |
   +--------+                   +--------+

                       Figure 13: Proxied Flow Setup

   In this case, the client specfies both a target hostname and an IP
   protocol number in the scope of its request, indicating that it only
   needs to communicate with a single host.  The proxy server is able to
   perform DNS resolution on behalf of the client and allocate a
   specific outbound socket for the client instead of allocating an
   entire IP address to the client.  In this regard, the request is
   similar to a traditional CONNECT proxy request.

8.3.  Proxied Connection Racing

   The following example shows a setup where a client is proxying UDP
   packets through a CONNECT-IP proxy in order to control connection
   establishement racing through a proxy, as defined in Happy Eyeballs
   [HEv2].  This example is a variant of the proxied flow, but
   highlights how IP-level proxying can enable new capabilities even for
   TCP and UDP.

   +--------+ IP A         IP B +--------+ IP C
   |        |-------------------|        |<------------> IP E
   | Client |  IP C<->E, D<->F  | Server |
   |        |-------------------|        |<------------> IP F
   +--------+                   +--------+ IP D

                 Figure 15: Proxied Connection Racing Setup

   As with proxied flows, the client specfies both a target hostname and
   an IP protocol number in the scope of its request.  When the proxy
   server performs DNS resolution on behalf of the client, it can send
   the various remote address options to the client as separate routes.
   It can also ensure that the client has both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
   assigned.

   The server assigns the client both an IPv4 address (192.0.2.3) and an
   IPv6 address (2001:db8::1234:1234) to the client, as well as an IPv4
   route (198.51.100.2) and an IPv6 route (2001:db8::3456), which
   represent the resolved addresses of the target hostname, scoped to
   UDP.  The client can send and recieve UDP IP packets to the either of
   the server addresses to enable Happy Eyeballs through the proxy.

9.  Extensibility Considerations

   Extensions to CONNECT-IP can define behavior changes to this
   mechanism.  Such extensions SHOULD define new capsule types to
   exchange configuration information if needed.  It is RECOMMENDED for
   extensions that modify addressing to specify that their extension
   capsules be sent before the ADDRESS_ASSIGN capsule and that they do
   not take effect until the ADDRESS_ASSIGN capsule is parsed.  This
   allows modifications to address assignement to operate atomically.

Pauly, et al.             Expires 1 April 2023                 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft                HTTP IP Proxy               September 2022

   Similarly, extensions that modify routing SHOULD behave similarly
   with regards to the ROUTE_ADVERTISEMENT capsule.

10.  Security Considerations

   There are significant risks in allowing arbitrary clients to
   establish a tunnel to arbitrary servers, as that could allow bad
   actors to send traffic and have it attributed to the proxy.  Proxies
   that support CONNECT-IP SHOULD restrict its use to authenticated
   users.  The HTTP Authorization header [SEMANTICS] MAY be used to
   authenticate clients.  More complex authentication schemes are out of
   scope for this document but can be implemented using CONNECT-IP
   extensions.

   Falsifying IP source addresses in sent traffic has been common for
   denial of service attacks.  Implementations of this mechanism need to
   ensure that they do not facilitate such attacks.  In particular,
   there are scenarios where an endpoint knows that its peer is only
   allowed to send IP packets from a given prefix.  For example, that
   can happen through out of band configuration information, or when
   allowed prefixes are shared via ADDRESS_ASSIGN capsules.  In such
   scenarios, endpoints MUST follow the recommendations from [BCP38] to
   prevent source address spoofing.

11.  IANA Considerations

11.1.  CONNECT-IP HTTP Upgrade Token

   This document will request IANA to register "connect-ip" in the HTTP
   Upgrade Token Registry maintained at
   <https://www.iana.org/assignments/http-upgrade-tokens>.

   Value:  connect-ip
   Description:  The CONNECT-IP Protocol
   Expected Version Tokens:  None
   References:  This document

11.2.  Updates to masque Well-Known URI

   This document will request IANA to update the entry for the "masque"
   URI suffix in the "Well-Known URIs" registry maintained at
   <https://www.iana.org/assignments/well-known-uris>.

   IANA is requested to update the "Reference" field to include this
   document in addition to previous values from that field.

   IANA is requested to add the following sentence to the "Related
   Information"

   field:  Includes all resources identified with the path prefix
      "/.well-known/masque/ip/".

11.3.  Capsule Type Registrations

   This document will request IANA to add the following values to the
   "HTTP Capsule Types" registry created by [HTTP-DGRAM]:

   +============+=====================+====================+===========+
   | Value      | Type                | Description        | Reference |
