Abstract

   IGMP and MLD protocols are extensible, but no extensions have been
   defined so far.  This document provides a well-defined way of
   extending IGMP and MLD, including a new extension type to distinguish
   between different extensions.  This document also defines an
   extension for use with IGMP and MLD over BIER, that allows for
   identifying the sender.  This will in turn enable MLD (resp.  IGMP)
   to be used in the BIER multicast flow overlay.

1.  Introduction

   In this document, we describe a generic method to extend IGMPv3
   [RFC3376] and MLDv2 [RFC3810] messages to accommodate information
   other than what is contained in the current message formats.  This is
   done by introducing an extension-type field in the message formats to
   indicate the application for which the extension is done.  This will
   be followed by the actual value of the extension.

   Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER [RFC8279]) defines a new
   architecture for optimal forwarding of multicast packets through a
   multicast domain without requiring a protocol for explicitly bulding
   multicast distribution trees while obviating the need for
   intermediate nodes to maintain any per-flow state.  Forwarding in the
   BIER network is accomplished by having ingress routers construct a
   bit mask indicating the set of egress routers in the BIER domain
   interested in receiving the packet.

   New technologies (such as BIER) can use MLD (resp.  IGMP) as an
   overlay protocol, in order to collect the ingress and egress nodes
   for multicast flows in a multicast domain (such as a BIER domain)
   [I-D.ietf-bier-mld].  That draft makes use of an extension to IGMP/
   MLD, defined in this document, to have additional info identifying
   the BIER sender of the message.  This allows the IGMP/MLD overlay to
   know exactly who is interested in receiving flows.  It can
   potentially also be used for other purposes such as logging to

   capture information regarding the sender of the message.  The
   extension will be part of additional data as mentioned in [RFC3810]
   Section 5.1.12 (resp.  [RFC3376] Section 4.1.10) for query messages
   and [RFC3810] Section 5.2.12 (resp.  [RFC3376] Section 4.2.11) for
   report messages.

2.  Conventions used in this document

   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.

3.  Proposed MLD/IGMP Extension

   The proposed MLD (resp.  IGMP) extension for BIER will contain the
   same information as the PTA tunnel identifier in [RFC8556] and is
   shown in Figure 1.  Note that, as defined in the MLD (resp.  IGMP),
   existing implementations are supposed to ignore this additional data.

   o  Extension Type: The first octet will introduce an IGMP/MLD
      extension type for BIER.  This would mean that if we need to
      extend MLD (resp.  IGMP) messages for other purposes, the type can
      tell us what the extension represents.  What follows is the
      information needed for BIER overlay.  For BIER the value here will
      be as assigned by IANA.

   o  Sub-domain-id: The second field is a single octet, containing a
      BIER sub-domain-id (see [[RFC8279]]).  This indicates the BIER
      sub-domain of the router originating the message.

   o  BFR-id: The next field is a two-octet field containing the BFR-id,
      in the specified sub-domain, of the router originating the
      message.

   o  BFR-prefix: The last field is the BFR-prefix (see [[RFC8279]]) of
      the router that is originating the message.  The BFR-prefix will
      either be a /32 IPv4 address or a /128 IPv6 address.

4.  Security Considerations

   This document extends MLD (resp.  IGMP) message formats for a BIER
   overlay.  As such, there is no impact on security or changes to the
   considerations in [RFC3810] and [RFC3376].

5.  IANA Considerations

   This document requests that IANA assign a new registry entry for the
   MLD (resp.  IGMP) extension-types.
