            DHCPv6 Extension for On Demand Mobility exposure
               draft-moses-dmm-dhcp-ondemand-mobility-06

Abstract

   Applications differ with respect to whether or not they need IP
   session continuity and/or IP address reachability.  Networks
   providing the same type of service to any mobile host and any
   application running on the host yields inefficiencies.  This document
   describes extensions to the DHCPv6 protocol to enable mobile hosts to
   indicate the required mobility service type associated with a
   requested IP prefix and to allow networks to indicate the type of
   mobility service associated with the allocated IP prefix in return.

1.  Introduction

   [I-D.ietf-dmm-ondemand-mobility] defines different types of mobility-
   associated services provided by access networks to mobile hosts with
   regards to maintaining IPv6 prefix continuity after an event of the
   host moving between locations with different points of attachments
   within the IP network topology.  It further specifies means for
   applications to convey to the IP stack in the mobile host, their
   requirements regarding these services.

   This document defines extensions to the DHCPv6 protocol ([RFC3315])
   in the form of a new DHCP option that specifies the type of mobility
   services associated with an IPv6 prefix.  The IP stack in a mobile
   host uses the DHCP client to communicate the type of mobility service
   it wishes to receive from the network.  The DHCP server in the
   network uses this option to convey the type of service that is
   guaranteed with the assigned IPv6 prefix in return.

   This new option also extends the ability of mobile routers to specify
   desired mobility service in a request for IPv6 prefixes (as specified
   in [RFC3633]), and enable delegating routers to convey the type of
   mobility service that is committed with the allocated IPv6 prefixes
   in return.

   In a distributed mobility management environment, there are multiple
   Mobility Anchors (as specified in
   [I-D.ietf-dmm-distributed-mobility-anchoring]).  In some use-cases,
   mobile hosts may wish to indicate to the network, their preference of
   the serving Mobility Anchor.  This document specifies a new DHCPv6
   option that is used by DHCPv6 clients to convey this preference.

2.  Notational Conventions

   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.  IPv6 Continuity Service Option

   The IPv6 Continuity Service option is used to specify the type of
   continuity service associated with a source IPv6 prefix.  The IPv6
   Continuity Service option must be encapsulated in the IAprefix-
   options field of the IA_PD prefix option.

   The format of the IPv6 Continuity Service option is:


    0                   1                   2                   3
    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

   | OPTION_IPv6_CONTINUITY_SERVICE|         option-length         |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   | service-type  |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+


   option-code    OPTION_IPv6_CONTINUITY_SERVICE (TBD)

   option-len     1

   service-type   one of the following values:



                  Non-Persistent -   a non-persistent IP prefix (1)

                  Session-Lasting -   a session-lasting IP prefix (2)

                  Fixed -        a fixed IP prefix (3)

                  Graceful-replacement -   a graceful-replacement IP
                                 prefix (4)

                  Anytype -      Anyone of the above (0)

   The definition of these service types is available in
   [I-D.ietf-dmm-ondemand-mobility].

Internet-Draft     DHCPv6 On-Demand Mobility Extension         June 2017


   All other values (5-255) are reserved for future use.  If the
   OPTION_IPv6_CONTINUITY_SERVICE option is received and its service-
   type is equal to one of the reserved values, the option should be
   ignored.

   When a message is sent from a client to a server, the value of the
   IPv6 Continuity Service option indicates the type of continuity
   service required for the IPv6 prefix requested by the client.

   When a message is sent from a server to a client, the value of the
   IPv6 Continuity Service option indicates the type of continuity
   service committed by the network for the associated IPv6 prefix.  The
   value 'AnyType' can only appear in the message sent from the client
   to the server to indicate that the client has no specific preference.
   However, it cannot appear in a message sent from the server.

   Once an IPv6 prefix type is requested and provided, any subsequent
   messages involving this prefix (lease renewal - for example) must
   include the IPv6 Continuity Service option with the same service type
   that was assigned by the server during the initial allocation.

   If a server receives a request to assign an IPv6 prefix with a
   specified IPv6 Continuity service, but cannot fulfill the request, it
   must reply with the NoAddrsAvail status.

   A server that does not support this option will discard it as well as
   the IA_PD Prefix option that had this option encapsulated in one of
   its IAprefix-options field.

   If a client does not receive the requested prefix, it must resend the
   request without the desired IPv6 Continuity Service option since it
   is not supported by the server.  In this case, the requesting device
   (host or router) cannot assume any IP continuity service behaviour
   for that prefix.

   A server must not include the IPv6 Continuity Service option in the
   IAprefix-options field of an IA_PD Prefix option, if not specifically
   requested previously by the client to which it is sending a message.

   If a client receives an IA_PD Prefix option from a server with the
   IPv6 Continuity Service option in the IAprefix-options field, without
   initially requesting a specific service using this option, it must
   discard the received IPv6 prefix.

   If the mobile device (host or router) has no preference regarding the
   type of continuity service it uses the 'AnyType' value as the
   specified type of continuity service.  The Server will allocate an
   IPv6 prefix with some continuity service and must specify the type in

   IPv6 Continuity Service option encapsulated in the IAprefix-options
   field of the IA_PD Prefix option.  The method for selecting the type
   of continuity service is outside the scope of this specification.

4.  Anchor Preference Option

   In a distributed mobility management environment that deploys
   multiple Mobility Anchors, each Mobility Anchor may have a set of
   IPv6 prefixes that is being used when assigning Session-lasting or
   Fixed source IPv6 prefixes to hosts.

   The selection of the Mobility Anchor that will serve a mobile host is
   performed by the network at various events like, the event of initial
   attachment of a mobile host to a network.

   The Anchor Preference option enables a host to express its desire to
   receive a specific source IPv6 prefix.  This is useful when the
   mobile host wishes to indicate to the network which Mobility Anchor
   should be used for anchoring its traffic and ensuring service
   continuity in the event of handoff between LANs with different IPv6
   prefixes.

   The network MAY respect this request but is not required to do so.

   The format of the Anchor Preference option is:


    0                   1                   2                   3

Internet-Draft     DHCPv6 On-Demand Mobility Extension         June 2017


   preferred-lifetime  The preferred lifetime of the IPv6 address whose
                  prefix is requested, expressed in units of seconds

   prefix-length  The length in bits of the ipv6-prefix.  Typically
                  allowed values are 0 to 128.

   IPv6 prefix    This is a variable length field that specifies the
                  desired ipv6 prefix.  The length is (prefix6len + 7) /
                  8.  This field is padded with 0 bits up to the nearest
                  octet boundary when prefix6len is not divisible by 8.

   IAanchor_preference-option  Options associated with this request

   An IPv6 prefix is requested only when the mobile host wishes to be
   anchored by a specific mobility anchor.  The client must also
   indicate the type of mobility service it requires using the IPv6
   Continuity Service option encapsulated in the IAanchor_preference-
   options field of the IA_PD Prefix Option.

   When requesting a specific IPv6 prefix, the 'Non-Persistent' type
   must not be used since these prefixes are not anchored and there is
   no need to request a specific anchor.

   If a server receives a request to use a specific IPv6 prefix and an
   IPv6 Continuity Service type, but cannot assign an IPv6 prefix with
   that specified IPv6 Continuity Service it must reply with the
   NoAddrsAvail status.

   A server that does not support this option will discard it.

   A server is not required to respect the prefix request.  It can
   assign a different prefix as long as it fulfills the IP Continuity
   Service request.

   If a client does not receive any prefix, it must assume that the the
   option is not supported by the server and should not use this option
   in subsequent requests.

5.  Security Considerations

   There are no specific security considerations for this option.

6.  IANA Considerations

   TBD
