Abstract
A multihomed host receives node configuration information from each
of its provisioning domain. Some configuration objects are global to
the node, some are local to the interface. Various issues arise when
multiple conflicting node-scoped configuration objects are received
on multiple interfaces. Similar situations also happen with single
interface host connected to multiple networks. This document
describes these issues.

Internet-Draft Multiple Interfaces Problem Statement May 2010
1. Introduction
A multihomed host have multiple provisioning domains (via physical
and/or virtual interfaces). For example, a node may be
simultaneously connected to a wired Ethernet LAN, a 802.11 LAN, a 3G
cell network, one or multiple VPN connections or one or multiple
automatic or manual tunnels. Current laptops and smartphones
typically have multiple access network interfaces and, thus, may be
simultaneously connected to different provisioning domains.
A multihomed host receives node configuration information from each
of its access networks, through various mechanims such as DHCPv4
[RFC2131], DHCPv6 [RFC3315], PPP [RFC1661] and IPv6 Router
Advertisements [RFC4861]. Some received configuration objects are
specific to an interface such as the IP address and the link prefix.
Others are typically considered by implementations as being global to
the node, such as the routing information (e.g. default gateway), DNS
servers IP addresses and address selection policies.
When the received node-scoped configuration objects have different
values from each provisioning domains, such as different DNS servers
IP addresses, different default gateways or different address
selection policies, the node has to decide which it will use or how
it will merge them.
Several issues regarding how the node-scoped configuration objects
are used in a multihomed node environment have been raised. The
following sections define the MIF host and the scope of this
document, describe related work, list the symptoms and then the
underlying problems.
A companion document [I-D.ietf-mif-current-practices] discusses
current practices.
2. Terminology
Administrative domain
A group of hosts, routers, and networks operated and managed by a
single organization [RFC1136].
Provisioning domain
A set of consistent configuration information (e.g. Default
router, Network prefixes, DNS,...). 0ne administrative domain can
contain multiple provisioning domains.
Blanchet & Seite Expires November 5, 2010 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Multiple Interfaces Problem Statement May 2010
A MIF host is defined as:
o A [RFC1122] IPv4 and/or [RFC4294] IPv6 compliant host
o Configured with more than one IP addresses (excluding loopback,
link-local)
o On one or more provisioning domains, as presented to the IP stack.
o The interfaces may be logical, virtual or physical.
o The IP addresses come from more than one administrative domains.
o The IP addresses may be from the same or from different address
families, such as IPv4 and IPv6.
o Communications using these IP addresses may happen simultaneously
and independently.
o Communications using these IP addresses may be tied on all the
possible provisioning domains, or, at least, on a limited number
of provisioning domains.
o While the MIF host may forward packets between its interfaces,
forwarding packets is not taken into account in this definition.
Reference to IP version
When a protocol keyword such as IP, PPP, DHCP is used without any
reference to a specific IP version, then it implies both IPv4 and
IPv6. A specific IP version keyword such as DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 is
specific to that IP version.
3. Scope and Existing Work
This section describes existing related work and defines the scope of
the problem.
3.1. Below IP Interaction
Network discovery and selection on lower layers as defined by
[RFC5113] is out of scope of this document. Moreover, lower layer
interaction such as IEEE 802.21 is also out of scope.
Proxy MIP allows sharing a single IP address across multiple interfac
es (e.g., WiMAX and CDMA, LTE and HSPA, etc.) to disparate networks.
From the IP stack view on the node, there is only a single interface
and single IP address. Therefore, this situation is out of scope.
Furthermore, link aggregation done under IP where a single interface
is shown to the IP stack is also out of scope.
3.2. Hosts Requirements
The requirements for Internet Hosts [RFC1122] describe the multihomed
host as if it has multiple IP addresses, which may be associated with
Blanchet & Seite Expires November 5, 2010 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Multiple Interfaces Problem Statement May 2010
one or more physical interfaces connected to the same or different
networks.
The host maintains a route cache table where each entry contains the
local IP address, the destination IP address, Type-of-Service and
Next-hop gateway IP address. The route cache entry would have data
about the properties of the path, such as the average round-trip
delay measured by a transport protocol.
As per [RFC1122], two models are defined:
o The "Strong" host model defines a multihomed host as a set of
logical hosts within the same physical host. In this model a
packet must be sent on an interface that corresponds to the source
address of that packet.
o The "Weak" host model describes a host that has some embedded
gateway functionality. In the weak host model, the host can send
and receive packets on any interface.
The multihomed host computes routes for outgoing datagrams
differently depending on the model. Under the strong model, the
route is computed based on the source IP address, the destination IP
address and the Type-of-Service. Under the weak model, the source IP
address is not used, but only the destination IP address and the
Type-of-Service.
3.3. Mobility and other IP protocols
This document assumes hosts only implementing [RFC1122] for IPv4 and
[RFC4294] for IPv6, and not using any kind of new transport
protocols. It is not required for the host to support additional IP
mobility or multihoming protocols, such as SHIM6, SCTP, Mobile IP,
HIP, RRG, LISP or else. Moreover, the peer of the connection is also
not required to use these mechanisms.
3.4. Address Selection
The Default Address Selection specification [RFC3484] defines
algorithms for source and destination IP address selections. It is
mandatory to be implemented in IPv6 nodes, which also means dual-
stack nodes. A node-scoped policy table managed by the IP stack is
defined. Provisions are made to change or update the policy table,
however, no mechanism is defined.
Issues on using the Default Address Selection were found [RFC5220] in
the context of multiple prefixes on the same link. New work
[I-D.chown-addr-select-considerations] discusses the multiple
attached networks scenarios and how to update the policy table.
Blanchet & Seite Expires November 5, 2010 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Multiple Interfaces Problem Statement May 2010
3.5. Finding and Sharing IP Addresses with Peers
Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE [I-D.ietf-mmusic-ice]) is
a technique for NAT traversal for UDP-based (and TCP) media streams
established by the offer/answer model. The multiplicity of IP
addresses and ports in SDP offers are tested for connectivity by
peer-to-peer connectivity checks. The result is candidate IP
addresses and ports for establishing a connection with the other
peer. ICE does not solve the MIF issues, such as the incompatible
configuration objects received on different interfaces. However, ICE
may be of use for address selection if the application is ICE-
enabled.
Some application protocols do referrals (i.e. provides reachability
information to itself or to a third-part) of IP addresses and port
numbers for further exchanges. Grobj
[I-D.carpenter-behave-referral-object] defines the problem with
referrals in today's IP networks. While referrals feature does not
solve the MIF issues, it is related since, in a multiple provisioning
domain context, referrals must provide consistent information
depending on which provisioning domain is used.
3.6. Socket API
Application Programming Interface (API) may expose objects that user
applications may use for the MIF purpose. For example, [RFC3542]
shows how an application using the Advanced sockets API can specify
the interface or the source IP address, through simple bind()
operation or IPV6_PKTINFO socket option.
There are other examples of API dealing with similar issues to MIF.
For instance, [RFC5014] defines API to influence the default address
selection mechanism by specifying attributes of the source addresses
it prefers. [I-D.ietf-shim6-multihome-shim-api] gives another
example in a multihoming context, by defining a socket API enabling
interactions between applications and the multihoming shim layer for
advanced locator management, and access to information about failure
detection and path exploration.
In the MIF context, some implementations, specially in the mobile
world, rely on higher-level connection managers to deal with issues
brought by multiple provisioning domains. Typically, the connection
manager can select the provisioning domain when application is domain
scoped. Connection managers usually leverage on API to gather
information and/or for control purpose. If examples exist, as
reminded above, there is no set of high level API to provide all
required services for a connection manager expected to address IP
configuration issues in a context of multiple provisioning domains.
Blanchet & Seite Expires November 5, 2010 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Multiple Interfaces Problem Statement May 2010
Moreover, various operation system implementations deliver different
sets of high level API. In addition, these mechanisms do not
necessarily behave the same way across different platform and OS in
the presence of the MIF problems [I-D.ietf-mif-current-practices].
This lack of harmonization is an issue since it may lead to multiple
instantiation of a cross platform/OS connection manager or
application.
3.7. Above IP Layers
The MIF issues discussed in this document assume no changes in
transport protocols or applications. However, fixing the issues
might involve these layers. For instance, an application may
implement the connection management function (as decribed in
preceding section).
4. Symptoms
This section describes the various symptoms found using a MIF host
that has already received configuration objects from its various
provisioning domains.
These situations are also described in
[I-D.savolainen-mif-dns-server-selection], [I-D.yang-mif-req] and
[RFC4477]. They occur, for example, when:
1. one interface is on the Internet and one is on a corporate
private network. The latter may be through VPN.
2. one interface is on one access network (i.e. wifi) and the other
one is on another access network (3G) with specific services.
4.1. DNS resolution issues
A MIF host (H1) has an active interface(I1) connected to a network
(N1) which has its DNS server (S1) and another active interface (I2)
connected to a network (N2) which has its DNS server (S2). S1 serves
with some private namespace "private.example.com". The user or the
application uses a name "a.private.example.com" which is within the
private namespace of S1 and only resolvable by S1. Any of the
following situations may occur:
1. H1 stack, based on its routing table, uses I2 to reach S1 to
resolve "a.private.example.com". H1 never reaches S1. The name
is not resolved.
2. H1 keeps only one set of DNS server addresses from the received
configuration objects and kept S2 address. H1 sends the DNS A
query for a.private.example.com to S2. S2 responds with an error
for an non-existant domain (NXDOMAIN). The name is not resolved.
Blanchet & Seite Expires November 5, 2010 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Multiple Interfaces Problem Statement May 2010
3. H1 keeps only one set of DNS server addresses from the received
configuration objects and kept S2 address. H1 sends the DNS A
query for a.private.example.com to S2. S2 asks its upstream DNS
and gets an IP address for a.private.example.com. However, the
IP address is not the same one S1 would have given. Therefore,
the application tries to connect to the wrong destination host,
or to the wrong interface of the latter, which may imply security
issues or result in lack of service.
4. S1 or S2 has been used to resolve "a.private.example.com" to an
[RFC1918] address. Both N1 and N2 are [RFC1918] addressed
networks. IPv4 source address selection may face challenges, as
due address overlapping the source/destination IP addresses do
not necessarily provide enough information for making proper
address selection decisions.
5. H1 has resolved an FQDN to locally valid IP address when
connected to N1. After movement from N1 to N2, the host tries to
connect to the same IP address as earlier, but as the address was
only locally valid, connection setup fails.
6. H1 requests AAAA record from a DNS server on a network that uses
protocol translators and DNS64 [I-D.ietf-behave-dns64]. If the
H1 receives synthesized AAAA record, it is guaranteed to be valid
only on the network it was learned from. If the H1 uses
synthesized AAAA on an network interface it is not valid on, the
packets will be dropped by the network.
4.2. Routing
A MIF host (H1) has an active interface(I1) connected to a network
(N1) and another active interface (I2) connected to a network (N2).
The user or the application is trying to reach an IP address (IP1).
Any of the following situations may occur:
1. For IP1 , H1 has one default route (R1) via network (N1). So,
trying to reach IP1, H1 stack uses R1 and sends through I1. If
IP1 is only reachable by N2, IP1 is never reached or is not the
right target.
2. For the IP1 address family, H1 has one default route (R1, R2) per
network (N1, N2). IP1 is reachable by both networks, but N2 path
has better characterictics, such as better round-trip time, least
cost, better bandwidth, etc.... These preferences could be
defined by user, by the provider, by discovery or else. H1 stack
uses R1 and tries to send through I1. IP1 is reached but the
service would be better by I2.
3. For the IP1 address family, H1 has a default route (R1), a
specific X.0.0.0/8 route R1B (eg. RFC1918 prefix) to N1 and a
default route (R2) to N2. IP1 is reachable by N2 only, but the
prefix (X.0.0.0/8) is used in both networks. Because of the most
specific route R1B, H1 stack sends through I2 and never reach the
target.

Internet-Draft Multiple Interfaces Problem Statement May 2010
A MIF host may have multiple routes to a destination. However, by
default, it does not have any hint concerning which interface would
be the best to use for that destination. For example, as discussed
in [I-D.savolainen-mif-dns-server-selection],
[I-D.hui-ip-multiple-connections-ps] and [I-D.yang-mif-req], a
service provider might want to influence the routing table of the
host connecting to its network.
A host usually has a node-scoped routing table. Therefore, when a
MIF host is connected to multiple provisioning domains where each
service provider wants to influence the routing table of the host,
then conflicts might arise from the multiple routing information
being pushed to the host.
A user on such multihomed host might want a local policy to influence
which interface will be used based on various conditions.
On a MIF host, some source addresses are not valid if used on some
interfaces. For example, an RFC1918 source address might be
appropriate on the VPN interface but not on the public interface of
the MIF host. If the source address is not chosen appropriately,
then sent packets might be filtered in the path if source address
filtering is in place ([RFC2827],[RFC3704]) and reply packets might
never come back to the source.
4.3. Address Selection Policy
A MIF host (H1) has an active interface(I1) connected to a network
(N1) and another active interface (I2) connected to a network (N2).
When the user or the application is trying to reach an IP address
(IP1), the following situations may occur:
H1 receives from both networks (N1 and N2) an update of its
default address selection policy. However, the policies are
specific to each network. The policies are merged by H1 stack.
Based on the merged policy, the chosen source address is from N1
but packets are sent to N2. The source address is not reachable
from N2, therefore the return packet is lost.
Merging address selection policies may have important impacts on
routing.
4.4. Single Interface on Multiple Provisioning Domains
When a MIF host using a single interface is connected to multiple
networks with different default routers, similar issues as described
above happen. Even with a single interface, a node may wish to
connect to more than one configuration domain: that node may use more
than one IP source address and may have more than one default router.
Blanchet & Seite Expires November 5, 2010 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Multiple Interfaces Problem Statement May 2010
The node may want to access services that can only be reached using
one of the provisioning domain, so it needs to use the right outgoing
source address and default gateway to reach that service. In this
situation, that node may also need to use different DNS servers to
get domain names in those different provisioning domains.
5. Problems
This section tries to list the underlying problems corresponding to
the issues discussed in the previous section. The problems can be
divided into five categories: 1) Configuration 2) DNS resolution 3)
Routing 4) Address selection and 5) connection management. They are
shown as below:
1. Configuration
1. Configuration objects (e.g. DNS servers, NTP servers, ...)
are usually node-scoped.
2. Same configuration objects (e.g. DNS server addresses, NTP
server addresses, ..) received from multiple provisioning
domains are usually overwritten.
3. Host implementations usually do not keep separate network
configuration (such as DNS server addresses) per provisioning
domain.
4. Referrals must provide consistent information depending on
which provisioning domain is concerned.
2. DNS resolution
1. DNS server addresses are usually node-scoped.
2. DNS answers are usually not kept with the interface from
which the answer comes from.
3. Routing
1. Routing tables are usually node-scoped.
2. Host implementations usually do not implement the [RFC1122]
models where the Type-of-Service are in the routing table.
3. Host implementations usually do not keep path
characteristics, user or provider preferences in the routing
table.
4. Address selection
1. Default Address Selection policies are usually node-scoped.
2. Default Address Selection policies may differ when received
on different provisioning domains.
3. Host implementations usually do not implement the strong host
model [RFC1122] where the source address is in the routing
table.
4. Applications usually do not use advanced APIs to specify the
source IP address or to set preferences on the address
selection policies.
Blanchet & Seite Expires November 5, 2010 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Multiple Interfaces Problem Statement May 2010
5. Connection management
1. Some implementations, specially in the mobile world, have
higher-level API and/or connection manager to address MIF
issues. These mechanisms are not standardized and do not
necessarily behave the same way across different OS, and/or
platorms, in the presence of the MIF problems.
2. Provisioning domain selection is a feature of connection
management. Domain selection can be tricky due to lot of
different situations and selection criteria: some
applications are domain-scoped, or may have a preferred
provisioning domain (e.g. according to avalaible QoS). Each
actor (end-user, operator, service provider, etc.) may also
have their preferred provisioning domains (e.g. single out
lower cost domain), possibly per application.
3. The different actors may provide different, and sometimes
contradictory, domain selection policies to the connection
management function. The connection manager can typically
address the issue, but not all connection managers are able
to.
4. A MIF host can support different connection managers, which
may have contradictory ways to solve the MIF issues. For
instance, because of different selection algorithms, two
different connection managers could select different domains
in a same context. Or, when dealing with different domain
selection policies, a connection manager may give precedence
to user policy while another could favour mobile operator
policy.
6. Summary
A MIF host receives node configuration information from each of its
provisioning domains. Some configuration objects are global to the
node, some are local to the interface. Various issues arise when
multiple conflicting node-scoped configuration objects are received
via multiple provisioning domains. Similar situations also happen
with single interface host connected to multiple networks.
Therefore, there is a need to define the appropriate behavior of an
IP stack and possibly define protocols to manage these cases.
7. Security Considerations
The problems discussed in this document have security implications,
such as when the packets sent on the wrong interface might be leaking
some confidential information. Moreover, the undetermined behavior
of IP stacks in the multihomed context bring additional threats where
an interface on a multihomed host might be used to conduct attacks
Blanchet & Seite Expires November 5, 2010 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft Multiple Interfaces Problem Statement May 2010
targeted to the networks connected by the other interfaces.
8. IANA Considerations
This document has no actions for IANA.
