    RADIUS Attribute for Softwire Address plus Port based Mechanisms
                   draft-ietf-softwire-map-radius-11

Abstract

   IPv4-over-IPv6 transition mechanisms provide both IPv4 and IPv6
   connectivity services simultaneously during the IPv4/IPv6 co-existing
   period.  The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6)
   options have been defined to configure Customer Edge (CE) in MAP-E,
   MAP-T, and Lightweight 4over6.  However, in many networks, the
   configuration information may be stored in an Authentication
   Authorization and Accounting (AAA) server, while user configuration
   information is mainly provided by the Broadband Network Gateway (BNG)
   through the DHCPv6 protocol.  This document defines two new Remote
   Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) attributes that carry CE
   configuration information from an AAA server to BNG.

1.  Introduction

   Recently providers have started to deploy IPv6 and consider how to
   transit to IPv6.  Many transition mechanisms based on the Address
   plus Port (A+P) [RFC6346] have been proposed for running IPv4 over
   IPv6-only infrastructure, including MAP-E, MAP-T, and Lightweight
   4over6.  Mapping of Address and Port with Encapsulation(MAP-
   E)[RFC7597], Mapping of Address and Port using Translation(MAP-
   T)[RFC7599] are stateless mechanisms for running IPv4 over IPv6-only
   infrastructure.  Lightweight 4over6[RFC7596] is a hub-and-spoke IPv4-
   over-IPv6 tunneling mechanism, with complete independence of IPv4 and
   IPv6 addressing.  They provide both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity
   services simultaneously during the IPv4/IPv6 co-existing period.
   MAP-E, MAP-T and Lightweight 4over6 have adopted Dynamic Host
   Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) [RFC3315] as auto-
   configuring protocol.  The Customer Edge (CE) uses DHCPv6 options to
   discover the Border Relay (BR) and get Softwire46 (S46)
   configurations.

   In many networks, user configuration information may be stored in an
   Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server.
   Currently the AAA servers communicate using the Remote Authentication
   Dial In User Service (RADIUS) [RFC2865] protocol.  In a fixed line
   broadband network, a Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) acts as the
   access gateway of users.  The BNG is assumed to embed a DHCPv6 server
   function that allows it to locally handle any DHCPv6 requests
   initiated by hosts.

   Since the S46 configuration information is stored in an AAA servers
   and user configuration information is mainly transmitted through
   DHCPv6 protocol between the BNGs and hosts/CEs, new RADIUS attributes
   are needed to propagate the information from the AAA servers to BNGs.
   The RADIUS attributes designed in this document are especially for
   the MAP-E[RFC7597], MAP-T[RFC7599] and Lightweight 4over6[RFC7596],
   providing enough information to form the correspondent DHCPv6
   configuration options[RFC7598].

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.  Configuration process with RADIUS

   The Figure 1 below illustrates how the RADIUS protocol and DHCPv6 co-
   operate to provide CE with MAP configuration information.  The BNG
   acts as a RADIUS client and DHCPv6 server.

    Figure 1: the cooperation between DHCPv6 and RADIUS combining with
                           RADIUS authentication

   1.  First, the CE MAY initiate a DHCPv6 Solicit message that includes
   an Option Request option(6) [RFC3315] with the S46 Container option
   codes as defined in[RFC7598].  As described in [RFC7598],
   OPTION_S46_CONT_MAPE should be included for MAP-E[RFC7597],
   OPTION_S46_CONT_MAPT for MAP-T [RFC7599], and OPTION_S46_CONT_LW for
   Lightweight 4over6 [RFC7596].  Note however, that the ORO (Option
   Request option) with the S46 Container option code could be optional
   if the network was planned as being S46-enabled as default.

   2.  When the BNG receives the Solicit message, it should initiate a
   radius Access-Request message, in which an User-Name attribute (1)
   should be filled by a CE MAC address or interface-id or both, to the
   RADIUS server and a User-password attribute (2) should be filled by
   the shared password that has been preconfigured on the DHCPv6 server,
   requesting authentication as defined in [RFC2865] with the
   corresponding Softwire46-Configuration Attribute, which will be
   defined in the next Section.

   3.  If the authentication request is approved by the AAA server, an
   Access-Accept message MUST be acknowledged with the corresponding
   Softwire46-Configuration Attribute.

   4.  After receiving the Access-Accept message with the corresponding
   Attribute, the BNG SHOULD respond to the DHCPv6 Client (CE) with an
   Advertisement message.

Internet-Draft      draft-ietf-softwire-map-radius-11         March 2017

   5.  After receiving the Advertise message, the CE MAY request for the
   corresponding S46 Container option, by including the S46 Container
   option in the Request message.

   6.  After receiving the client's Request message, containing the
   corresponding S46 Container option the BNG SHOULD reply to the CE
   with the message containing the S46 Container option.  The
   recommended format of the MAC address is defined as Calling-Station-
   Id (Section 3.20 in [RFC3580] without the SSID (Service Set
   Identifier) portion.

   For Lightweight 4over6 [RFC7596], the subscriber's binding state
   should be synchronized between the AAA server and lwAFTR.  If the
   bindings are pre-configured statically, in both the AAA server and
   lwAFTR, an AAA server does not need to configure the lwAFTR anymore.
   Otherwise, if the bindings are locally created on-demand in an AAA
   server, it should inform the lwAFTR with the subscriber's binding
   state, in order to synchronize the binding information of the lwB4
   with the lwAFTR.

   The authorization operation could also be done independently after
   the authentication process.  In such a scenario, after the
   authentication operation, the client MAY initiate a DHCPv6 Request
   message that includes the corresponding S46 Container options.
   Similar to the above scenario, the ORO with the corresponding S46
   Container option code in the initial DHCPv6 request could be optional
   if the network was planned as being S46-enabled by default.  When the
   BNG receives the DHCPv6 Request, it SHOULD initiate the radius
   Access-Request message, which MUST contain a Service-Type attribute
   (6) with the value Authorize Only (17), the corresponding
   Softwire46-Configuration Attribute, and a State attribute obtained
   from the previous authentication process according to [RFC5080].  If
   the authorization request is approved by an AAA server, an Access-
   Accept message MUST be acknowledged with the corresponding
   Softwire46-Configuration Attribute.  The BNG SHOULD then send the
   DHCPv6 Reply message containing the S46 Container option.

   In both the above-mentioned scenarios, Message-authenticator (type
   80) [RFC2869] SHOULD be used to protect both Access-Request and
   Access-Accept messages.

   If the BNG does not receive the corresponding
   Softwire46-Configuration Attribute in the Access-Accept message it
   MAY fallback to a pre-configured default S46 configuration, if any.
   If the BNG does not have any pre-configured default S46
   configuration, or if the BNG receives an Access-Reject, then S46
   connection cannot be established.

   As specified in [RFC3315], section 18.1.4, "Creation and Transmission
   of Rebind Messages ", if the DHCPv6 server to which the DHCPv6 Renew
   message was sent at time T1 has not responded by time T2, the CE
   (DHCPv6 client) SHOULD enter the Rebind state and attempt to contact
   any available server.  In this situation, the secondary BNG receiving
   the DHCPv6 message MUST initiate a new Access-Request message towards
   the AAA server.  The secondary BNG MAY include the
   Softwire46-Configuration Attribute in its Access-Request message.

4.  Attributes

   This section defines the Softwire46-Configuration Attribute and the
   Softwire46-Priority Attribute.  The attribute design follows
   [RFC6158] and refers to [RFC6929].  The Softwire46-Configuration
   Attribute carries the configuration information for MAP-E, MAP-T, and
   Lightweight 4over6.  The configuration information for each S46
   mechanism is carried in the corresponding S46 Container option.
   Different sub options are required for each type of S46 Container
   option.  The RADIUS attribute for Dual-Stack Lite [RFC6333] is
   defined in [RFC6519].

   A client may be capable of supporting several different S46
   mechanisms.  Depending on the deployment scenario, a client might
   request for more than one S46 mechanism at a time.  The
   Softwire46-Priority Attribute contains information allowing the
   client to prioritize which mechanism to use, corresponding to
   OPTION_S46_PRIORITY defined in [RFC8026].

4.1.  Softwire46-Configuration Attribute

   The Softwire46-Configuration Attribute can only encapsulate S46
   Container Option(s).  The Softwire46-Configuration Attribute is
   structured as follows:
   0                   1                   2                   3

  S46 Container Option (s)
    A variable field that may contains one or more S46 Container 
    option(s), defined in Section 4.2.
    
4.2.  S46 Container Options

   The S46 Container Option can only be encapsulated in the
   Softwire46-Configuration Attribute.  Depending on the deployment
   scenario, a client might request for more than one transition
   mechanism at a time, there MUST be at least one S46 Container option
   encapsulated in one Softwire46-Configuration Attribute.  There MUST
   be at most one instance of each type of S46 Container Option
   encapsulated in one Softwire46-Configuration Attribute.

   There are three types of S46 Container Options, namely MAP-E
   Container Option, MAP-T Container Option, Lightweight 4over6 Container
   Option.  Each type of S46 Container Option contains a number of sub
   options, defined in Section 4.3.  The hierarchy of the S46 Container
   Option is shown in Figure 2.  Section 4.5 describes which Sub Options
   are mandatory, optional, or not permitted for each defined S46
   Container Option.

   There are three types of S46-Rule Sub Options, namely Basic Mapping
   Rule, Forwarding Mapping Rule, Basic and Forwarding Mapping Rule.
   Each type of S46-Rule Sub Option also contains a number of Sub

5.  Diameter Considerations

   S46 Configuration using Diameter [RFC6733] is specified in [RFC7678].

6.  IANA Considerations

   This document requires the assignment of two new RADIUS Attribute
   Type in the "Radius Types" registry (currently located at
   http://www.iana.org/assignments/radius-types for the following
   attributes:

   o  Softwire46-Configuration Attribute TBD1

   o  Softwire46-Priority Attribute TBD2

   IANA should allocate the numbers from the standard RADIUS Attributes
   space using the "IETF Review" policy [RFC5226].

6.1.  S46 Mechanisms and Their Identifying Option Codes

   This document requires IANA to register five option codes of the
   Softwire46 mechanisms permitted to be included in the
   Softwire46-Priority Attribute.  As this work had be done in the
   section 4.1 of [RFC8026], the five option codes could be consistent
   with those defined in section 4.1 of [RFC8026].  Additional options
   may be added to this list in the future using the IETF Review process
   described in Section 4.1 of [RFC5226].

   The following table shows the option codes that are currently
   defined and the S46 mechanisms that they represent.

             +-------------+------------------+-----------+
             | Option Code |  S46 Mechanism   | Reference |
             +-------------+------------------+-----------+
             |      94     |       MAP-E      |  RFC7598  |
             +-------------+------------------+-----------+
             |      95     |       MAP-T      |  RFC7598  |
             +-------------+------------------+-----------+
             |      96     |Lightweight 4over6|  RFC7598  |
             +-------------+------------------+-----------+
             |      64     |     DS-Lite      |  RFC6334  |
             +--------------------------------+-----------+
             |      88     |DHCPv4 over DHCPv6|  RFC7341  |
             +-------------+------------------+-----------+

                  Table 1: Option Codes to S46 Mechanisms

7.  Security Considerations

   Known security vulnerabilities of the RADIUS protocol are discussed
   in [RFC2607], [RFC2865], and[RFC2869].  Use of IPsec [RFC4301] for
   providing security when RADIUS is carried in IPv6 is discussed in
   [RFC3162].

   A malicious user may use MAC address spoofing on the shared password
   that has been preconfigured on the DHCPv6 server to get unauthorized
   configuration information.

   Security considerations for MAP specific between the MAP CE and the
   BNG are discussed in [RFC7597].  Security considerations for
   Lightweight 4over6 are discussed in [RFC7596].  Security
   considerations for DHCPv6-Based S46 Prioritization Mechanism are
   discussed in [RFC8026].  Furthermore, generic DHCPv6 security
   mechanisms can be applied DHCPv6 intercommunication between the CE
   and the BNG.

   Security considerations for the Diameter protocol are discussed in
   [RFC6733].
