   Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) Signal
     Channel Configuration Attributes for Robust Block Transmission
                    draft-bosh-dots-quick-blocks-03

Abstract

   This document specifies new DOTS signal channel configuration
   parameters that are negotiated between DOTS peers to enable the use
   of Q-Block1 and Q-Block2 Options.  These options enable robust and
   faster transmission rates for large amounts of data with less packet
   interchanges as well as supporting faster recovery should any of the
   blocks get lost in transmission.

1.  Introduction

   The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) [RFC7252], although
   inspired by HTTP, was designed to use UDP instead of TCP.  The
   message layer of CoAP over UDP includes support for reliable
   delivery, simple congestion control, and flow control.  [RFC7959]
   introduced the CoAP Block1 and Block2 Options to handle data records
   that cannot fit in a single IP packet, so not having to rely on IP
   fragmentation and was further updated by [RFC8323] for use over TCP,
   TLS, and WebSockets.

   The CoAP Block1 and Block2 Options work well in environments where
   there are no or minimal packet losses.  These options operate
   synchronously where each individual block has to be requested and can
   only ask for (or send) the next block when the request for the
   previous block has completed.  Packet, and hence block transmission
   rate, is controlled by Round Trip Times (RTTs).

   There is a requirement for these blocks of data to be transmitted at
   higher rates under network conditions where there may be asymmetrical
   transient packet loss (i.e., responses may get dropped).  An example
   is when a network is subject to a Distributed Denial of Service
   (DDoS) attack and there is a need for DDoS mitigation agents relying
   upon CoAP to communicate with each other (e.g.,
   [I-D.ietf-dots-telemetry]).  As a reminder, [RFC7959] recommends the
   use of Confirmable (CON) responses to handle potential packet loss.

Internet-Draft       DOTS Robust Block Transmission            June 2021


   However, such a recommendation does not work with a flooded pipe DDoS
   situation as the returning ACK packets may not get through.

   The block-wise transfer specified in [RFC7959] covers the general
   case, but falls short in situations where packet loss is highly
   asymmetrical.  The mechanism specified in [I-D.ietf-core-new-block]
   provides roughly similar features to the Block1/Block2 Options.  It
   provides additional properties that are tailored towards the intended
   DOTS transmission.  Concretely, [I-D.ietf-core-new-block] primarily
   targets applications such as DDoS Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) that
   can't use Confirmable (CON) responses to handle potential packet loss
   and that support application-specific mechanisms to assess whether
   the remote peer is able to handle the messages sent by a CoAP
   endpoint (e.g., DOTS heartbeats in Section 4.7 of
   [I-D.ietf-dots-rfc8782-bis]).

   [I-D.ietf-core-new-block] includes guards to prevent a CoAP agent
   from overloading the network by adopting an aggressive sending rate.
   These guards are followed in addition to the existing CoAP congestion
   control as specified in Section 4.7 of [RFC7252].  Table 1 additional
   CoAP attributes that are used for the guards.

                  +---------------------+---------------+
                  | Parameter Name      | Default Value |
                  +=====================+===============|
                  | MAX_PAYLOADS        |            10 |
                  | NON_MAX_RETRANSMIT  |             4 |

                  Table 1: Congestion Control Parameters

   PROBING_RATE and other transmission parameters are negotiated between
   DOTS peers as discussed in Section 4.5.2 of
   [I-D.ietf-dots-rfc8782-bis].  Nevertheless, the attributes listed in
   Table 1 are not supported.  This document defines new DOTS signal
   channel attributes that are meant to customize the configuration of
   robust block transmission in a DOTS context.

   14 [RFC2119][RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

   Readers should be familiar with the terms and concepts defined in
   [RFC7252] and [RFC8612].

   The terms "payload" and "body" are defined in [RFC7959].  The term
   "payload" is thus used for the content of a single CoAP message
   (i.e., a single block being transferred), while the term "body" is
   used for the entire resource representation that is being transferred
   in a block-wise fashion.

   The meaning of the symbols in YANG tree diagrams are defined in
   [RFC8340] and [RFC8791].

   (D)TLS is used for statements that apply to both Transport Layer
   Security (TLS) [RFC8446] and Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS)
   [RFC6347].  Specific terms are used for any statement that applies to
   either protocol alone.

3.  DOTS Attributes for Robust Block Transmission

   Section 6.2 of [I-D.ietf-core-new-block] defines the following
   attributes that are used for congestion control purposes:

   MAX_PAYLOADS:  is the maximum number of payloads that can be
      transmitted at any one time.

   NON_MAX_RETRANSMIT:  is the maximum number of times a request for the
      retransmission of missings payloads can occur without a response
      from the remote peer.  By default, NON_MAX_RETRANSMIT has the same
      value as MAX_RETRANSMIT (Section 4.8 of [RFC7252]).

   NON_TIMEOUT:  is the maximum period of delay between sending sets of
      MAX_PAYLOADS payloads for the same body.  NON_TIMEOUT has the same
      value as ACK_TIMEOUT (Section 4.8 of [RFC7252]).

   NON_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT:  is the maximum time to wait for a missing
      payload before requesting retransmission.  By default,
      NON_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT has a value of twice NON_TIMEOUT.

   NON_PROBING_WAIT:  is used to limit the potential wait needed
      calculated when using PROBING_WAIT.  By default, NON_PROBING_WAIT
      has the same value as EXCHANGE_LIFETIME (Section 4.8.2 of
      [RFC7252]).

Internet-Draft       DOTS Robust Block Transmission            June 2021


   NON_PARTIAL_TIMEOUT:  is used for expiring partially received bodies.
      By default, NON_PARTIAL_TIMEOUT has the same value as
      EXCHANGE_LIFETIME (Section 4.8.2 of [RFC7252]).

   These attributes are used together with PROBING_RATE parameter which
   in CoAP indicates the average data rate that must not be exceeded by
   a CoAP endpoint in sending to a peer endpoint that does not respond.
   The single body of blocks will be subjected to PROBING_RATE
   (Section 4.7 of [RFC7252]), not the individual packets.  If the wait
   time between sending bodies that are not being responded to
   calculated using on PROBING_RATE exceeds NON_PROBING_WAIT, then the
   gap time is limited to NON_PROBING_WAIT.

   This document augments the "ietf-dots-signal-channel" (dots-signal)
   DOTS signal YANG module defined in [I-D.ietf-dots-rfc8782-bis] with
   these additional attributes that can be negotiated between DOTS peers
   to enable robust and faster transmission:

   max-payloads:  This attribute echoes the MAX_PAYLOADS parameter in
      [I-D.ietf-core-new-block].

      This is an optional attribute.

   For the sake of more flexible configuration, this document defines
   also the following attributes:

   non-max-retransmit:  This attribute echoes the NON_MAX_RETRANSMIT
      parameter in [I-D.ietf-core-new-block].  The default value of this
      attribute is 'max-retransmit'.  Note that DOTS uses a default
      value of '3' instead of '4' used for the generic CoAP use
      (Section 4.5.2 of [I-D.ietf-dots-rfc8782-bis]) for max-transmit.

      This is an optional attribute.

   non-timeout:  This attribute echoes the NON_TIMEOUT parameter in
      [I-D.ietf-core-new-block].  The default value of this attribute is
      'ack-timeout'.

      This is an optional attribute.

   non-probing-wait:  This attribute echoes the NON_PROBING_WAIT
      parameter in [I-D.ietf-core-new-block].  The default value of this
      attribute is 247s.

      This is an optional attribute.

   non-partial-timeout:  This attribute echoes the NON_PARTIAL_TIMEOUT
      parameter in [I-D.ietf-core-new-block].  The default value of this
      attribute is 274s.

      This is an optional attribute.

   An example of PUT message to convey the configuration parameters for
   the DOTS signal channel is depicted in Figure 1.  In this example,
   the 'max-payloads' is set to '15' when no mitigation is active, while
   it is set to '10' when a mitigation is active.  The same value is
   used for both 'non-max-retransmit' and 'non-timeout' in idle and
   mitigation times.

6.  Security Considerations

   The security considerations for the DOTS signal channel protocol are
   discussed in Section 11 of [I-D.ietf-dots-rfc8782-bis].

   CoAP-specific security considerations are discussed in Section 11 of
   [I-D.ietf-core-new-block].

   This document defines YANG data structures that are meant to be used
   as an abstract representation in DOTS signal channel messages.  As
   such, the "ietf-dots-robust-trans" module does not introduce any new
   vulnerabilities beyond those specified above.
