Abstract

   This document defines an application-layer protocol, the Scoped
   Address Discovery Protocol (SADP), for discovering the scoped
   multicast address(es) associated with a session at particular scopes
   within a hierarchically nested set of multicast scopes.  SADP is
   designed to work within the context of Multicast Address Allocation
   Architecture [MAAA]. It is intended that SADP will provide the
   necessary general services for reliable multicast and searching
   applications to use expanding-scope searches in lieu of the well
   known, but less efficient expanding-ring search.

1. Introduction

   Administrative scoping [RFC2365] provides a useful means for limiting
   the spread of IP multicast traffic across the Internet. Unlike Time-
   To-Live (TTL) scoping, administrative scoping provides the means to
   ensure that, for a given scope and ignoring packet loss, the same set
   of nodes will receive a message, regardless of which node sent the
   message. Thus, the use of administrative scoping greatly simplifies
   the design of multicast protocols that require localization, since
   the non-reception of sent packets is solely due to loss and not
   design.

   The Multicast Address Dynamic Client Allocation Protocol (MADCAP)
   [MADCAP] will provide applications with the means for discovering the
   various scopes that are locally visible at each point in the
   Internet. The determination of which scopes nest inside each other
   will be performed by the Multicast-Scope Zone Announcement Protocol
   (MZAP) [MZAP]. MZAP's ability to provide this service will allow
   scopes to be arranged into hierarchies so that applications can then
   use expanding scope searches instead of the less efficient and more
   problematic expanding-ring (TTL) searches. One example of how
   expanding-scope searches provide increased localization can be found
   in the Scoped Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest with Forward Error
   Correction (SHARQFEC) reliable multicast protocol [SHARQFEC].

   While expanding-ring searches use one multicast address and
   increasing TTLs, expanding-scope searches involve changing the
   multicast addresses for each attempt at a different scope. For well-
   known services, these addresses can be obtained by applying an IANA-
   assigned offset from the top of the scope's address range.
   Applications, on the other hand, generally require the use of
   dynamically allocated addresses with offsets that will most likely
   vary from scope to scope.

   SADP builds upon the Multicast Address Allocation Architecture [MAAA]
   by adding a new application-layer service that allows applications to
   discover the relevant multicast address(es) associated with a session
   at each level in a hierarchy of scopes.

   SADP does not provide the means to allocate an address should one not
   be present for a session in a particular zone. In this case the
   application should take steps to obtain an address for that scope and
   then announce it to other application instances that join that scope
   at a later time. One proposed mechanism for allocating addresses is
   the Multicast Address Dynamic Allocation Protocol (MADCAP) [MADCAP].

2. Overview

   Administrative scoping affords the ability to create network
   partitions or zones in which multicast traffic addressed to one of a
   block of addresses assigned to that zone will be limited to that
   zone. The boundary of the zone is enforced by Zone Border Routers
   (ZBRs) that reside at the edges of the zone. ZBRs must be carefully
   configured so that traffic addressed within the zone does not pass
   outside the zone.  Ensuring consistency among boundary routers can be
   a non-trivial task, and hence the Multicast Zone Announcement
   Protocol (MZAP) [MZAP], which is used to announce the existence of
   zones, also provides the mechanisms to detect ZBR misconfigurations.

   Zones may be of different sizes and can also overlap. In addition to
   the services of zone announcement and fault detection, MZAP also
   provides mechanisms for determining and announcing the existence of
   zones that nest inside others as shown in Figure 2.

   This feature allows admin scope zones to be arranged in a hierarchy
   as shown in Figure 3. The ability to nest admin scope zones in
   hierarchies like that shown in Figure 3 is useful since it affords
   localization through expanding-scope searches. For example, consider
   a distributed application with session members distributed evenly
   through out zone a. A session member in scope e, would perform a
   search by multicasting a query within scope e, and if unsuccessful,
   expand the scope to search in scope b, and eventually scope a if so
   needed.

       Figure 3 : Admin Scope Zone Nesting Hierarchy example

   In order for expanding-scope searches to be feasible, session members
   must be able to determine two things:

   o which scopes are involved in the hierarchy for a particular
     session.

   o what address(es) are to be used for communicating with other
     session members within these scopes.

   SADP affords the ability to discover this information by using a
   single multicast group inside each scope [SADP-RELATIVE-GROUP] for
   communication between SADP servers (see section 3.2) and the members
   of various sessions. New members to a session use the channels
   provided by the addresses to query existing SADP servers and session
   members as to which specific scopes are valid and which scopes to
   use.  Since there is only one multicast address used per admin scope
   zone for this purpose, members of a particular session will ignore
   traffic intended for members of another session.

INTERNET-DRAFT       <draft-ietf-mboned-sadp-01.txt>     22 January 1999


3. Usage

   In this section we summarize how session members can use SADP to
   determine which admin zones are used by the session's hierarchy and
   also the address(es) within these zones that are used by the current
   session members should such addresses exist.

3.1 Session Identifiers

   Each session that uses administrative scoping will be identified by a
   Session Identifier (SID) that corresponds to the address of the group
   used in the largest scope zone. Applications that require multiple
   addresses shall be decomposed into multiple individual sessions which
   will then be treated independently.


3.2 Session Member Operation

   Several predefined administrative scopes already exist [RFC2365]:

   o Link Local: Traffic is only carried across one physical link.

   o Local:      Traffic is restricted to a specific network region.

   o Global:     The entire multicast enabled network.

   By definition Link Local scopes nest inside Local scopes which in
   turn nest inside the Global Scope. Other scopes may exist between the
   local and global scopes. These scopes are constructed by the union of
   the admin scope zones that correspond to two or more topologically
   adjacent local scopes and are announced to routers within their
   confines using MZAP [MZAP].

   The general algorithm that new members to a session should use to
   determine which scopes and addresses are involved in the hierarchy
   for a particular session is as follows:

   1) Determine largest scope, and address for the largest scope for
      the session. (this task is beyond the scope of this document,
      but can be assumed to involve some kind of out-of-band
      communication.)

   2) Starting with the SADP group [SADP-RELATIVE-GROUP] for the
      local scope, issue a SADP Request (SADP_REQ) message
      containing the SID address.

   3) Wait for a response on the SADP [SADP-RELATIVE-GROUP] address
      for at least [SADP-REQ-TIMEOUT] seconds. If no response is



Draft                             SADP                          [Page 6]


INTERNET-DRAFT       <draft-ietf-mboned-sadp-01.txt>     22 January 1999


      heard, wait for some small amount of time, and then
      repeat the request at the same scope.

   4) If after a total of 3 attempts at a given scope, no response
      has been received, increase the scope to the next largest scope
      and repeat steps 2 and 3. In cases where there are two
      non-nesting scopes larger than the current, try one scope and
      then the other, should the first scope not result in a reply.

   5) Continue steps 2), 3), and 4) until the largest scope has been
      queried or a response has been heard.


   In cases where the scope must be increased in order to find a session
   member that can reply, the new session member MAY decide to add
   levels to the hierarchy in order to increase localization for future
   session members. New session members that decide to take this step
   will use the existing addresses as discovered using SADP and request
   new ones.  (e.g., via MADCAP [MADCAP]). Upon the successful
   allocation of a new address for use in the hierarchy, the new session
   member shall announce the new address via a SADP_NEW_ADDR message to
   the [SADP-RELATIVE-GROUP] address for the scope in which the address
   was allocated. This will cause the address to be cached by any SADP
   servers within the new address's scope.

   SADP servers and existing session members, upon hearing an SADP_REQ
   message from a new session member from [SADP-RELATIVE-GROUP] at a
   particular scope will issue an SADP Response (SADP_RESP) to the
   [SADP-RELATIVE-GROUP] at the same scope after waiting for a random
   amount of time (T) that is calculated as follows:


   Choose a random value X from a  uniform random interval [0:1]   Let
   C = 256   Set
   T = [SADP-SUPPRESSION-INTERVAL] log( C*X + 1) / log(C)

   Should a member receive a SADP_RESP before its timer it expires it
   SHALL suppress its own response. This method ensures that close to
   one session member will respond.

3.3 SADP Server Operation

   Were SADP to be deployed in a wide scale session with the members of
   various sessions to use SADP between each other it would quickly
   cause catastrophic congestion. The reason for this is that whenever a
   new node joined a sparsely populated session with a large maximum
   scope, it would inevitably end up sending SADP_REQs to every scope up
   until the largest scope. Thus the highly likely occurrence of having



Draft                             SADP                          [Page 7]


INTERNET-DRAFT       <draft-ietf-mboned-sadp-01.txt>     22 January 1999


   a global and continental scopes combined with numerous sparse
   sessions (probably on the order of 10,000 to 100,000) would quickly
   cause SADP_REQ flooding at the continental scope.

   To address this shortcoming SADP allows, and in fact encourages, the
   deployment of SADP servers. These servers subscribe to the [SADP-
   RELATIVE-GROUP] for each scope they are in and cache the SADP_RESP
   messages they receive at each scope. Having cached and merged the
   responses for sessions at various scopes, they can then respond to
   SADP_REQs heard at lower scopes using the information heard at the
   larger scope(s). Should a SADP server hear a SADP_REQ at some
   intermediate scope it MUST NOT announce address information for
   scopes smaller than one on which the SADP_REQ was received.

   The effect of allowing larger-scoped information to be announced at
   lower scopes by SADP servers significantly reduces the number of
   scopes a new session will have to query. New session members now need
   only expand the scope until a SADP server is found. This is a marked
   improvement over the case where no SADP servers exist and the search
   must continue until an existing session member is found.

4.1 SADP Request

   SADP Request (SADP_REQ) Messages have PTYPE=0, and are sent by new
   session members that wish to learn which administrative scopes and
   multicast addresses to use within a particular session. SADP_REQ
   Messages are sent according to the algorithm described in 3.2.

4.2 SADP Response

   The SADP Response (SADP_RESP) Message has PTYPE=1, and is sent in
   response to a SADP_REQ Message to the same scope from which the
   SADP_REQ was received. It contains the address that is to be used by
   an application instance within a session for each scope that nests
   within the scope to which the SADP_REQ was sent. (N.B. This includes
   the scope to which the SADP_REQ was sent) Session members that
   transmit SADP Response Messages MUST NOT include scope and address
   information for scopes that are known to overlap or be larger than
   that of the scope upon which the triggering SADP_REQ Message was

4.2 SADP New Address

   The SADP New Address (SADP_NEW_ADDR) Message has PTYPE=2. It is
   transmitted by session members that have attempted to find an address
   for a particular scope, failed, and have then subsequently allocated
   a new address for use in the session at that scope.  Its purpose is
   to inform other members of the session of the existence of this newly
   allocated address and its availability for subsequent use.

   Should two members attempt to announce a new address to the same
   scope at the same time, their SADP_NEW_ADDR messages will result in a
   collision. SADP_NEW_ADDR collisions are resolved by the session
   members picking the lower of the two addresses.

   Scope Start Address : 32 bits (IPv4) or 128 bits (IPv6)
       The smallest address for the block of multicast addresses
       associated with a scope. If a scope X is valid for the range
       239.128.0.0 to 239.128.255.255, this field will be set to
       239.128.0.0.

   New Scope Session Address : 32 bits (IPv4) or 128 bits (IPv6)
       Address of the newly allocated group to be used for the
       specified scope.


5. Constants

   [SADP-RELATIVE-GROUP]: The relative group with each scope, to which
   session members send SADP Requests and Responses. All application
   instances that use SADP for constructing hierarchies of scopes MUST
   subscribe to this address for each scope which nests within the
   session scope, in order to ensure that each application instance uses
   the hierarchy in the most efficient manner.

   [SADP-REQ-TIMEOUT]: The time after which a session member that sends
   SADP Request should wait before concluding that no session members
   are present at the current scope. Default value is 3 seconds.




Draft                             SADP                         [Page 11]


INTERNET-DRAFT       <draft-ietf-mboned-sadp-01.txt>     22 January 1999


   [SADP-SUPPRESSION-INTERVAL]: The interval over which a session member
   chooses a random delay before responding to SADP Request. Default
   value 2 seconds.

6. Security Considerations

   SADP employs distributed mechanisms to allow new session members to
   learn of the existence of session-specific admin scoped multicast
   address. This fact lays SADP open to attack by malicious hosts that
   could potentially mis-inform new session members of incorrect
   addresses, thereby affecting a man-in-the-middle attack.

   To prevent attacks of this nature by non-session members from
   occurring all SADP messages are signed by the sender. However, this
   measure does not prevent malicious hosts from joining a session and
   then performing the same attack. Hence, SADP's security depends upon
   a suitable gating process for new-member admittance combined with (as
   yet to be determined) mechanisms that allow spoofed SADP messages to
   be identified for removal before processing.
