RFC 7837 ConEx Destination Option May 2016
1. Introduction
Congestion Exposure (ConEx) [RFC7713] is a mechanism by which senders
inform the network about the congestion encountered by packets
earlier in the same flow. This document specifies an IPv6
destination option [RFC2460] that can be used for performing ConEx
markings in IPv6 datagrams.
This document specifies the ConEx wire protocol in IPv6. The ConEx
information can be used by any network element on the path to, for
example, do traffic management or egress policing. Additionally,
this information will potentially be used by an audit function that
checks the integrity of the sender's signaling. Further, each
transport protocol that supports ConEx signaling will need to
precisely specify when the transport sets ConEx markings (e.g., the
behavior for TCP is specified in [RFC7786]).
This document specifies ConEx for IPv6 only. Due to space
limitations in the IPv4 header and the risk of options that might be
stripped by a middlebox in IPv4, the primary goal of the working
group was to specify ConEx in IPv6 for experimentation.
This specification is experimental to allow the IETF to assess
whether the decision to implement the ConEx Signal as a destination
option fulfills the requirements stated in this document, as well as
to evaluate the proposed encoding of the ConEx Signals as described
in [RFC7713].
The duration of this experiment is expected to be no less than two
years from publication of this document as infrastructure is needed
to be set up to determine the outcome of this experiment.
Experimenting with ConEx requires IPv6 traffic. Even though the
amount of IPv6 traffic is growing, the traffic mix carried over IPv6
is still very different than over IPv4. Therefore, it might take
longer to find a suitable test scenario where only IPv6 traffic is
managed using ConEx.

RFC 7837 ConEx Destination Option May 2016
3. Requirements for the Coding of ConEx in IPv6
A set of requirements for an ideal concrete ConEx wire protocol is
given in [RFC7713]. The ConEx working group recognized that it will
be difficult to find an encoding in IPv6 that satisfies all
requirements. The choice in this document to implement the ConEx
information in a destination option aims to satisfy those
requirements that constrain the placement of ConEx information:
R-1: The marking mechanism needs to be visible to all ConEx-capable
nodes on the path.
R-2: The mechanism needs to be able to traverse nodes that do not
understand the markings. This is required to ensure that ConEx
can be incrementally deployed over the Internet.
R-3: The presence of the marking mechanism should not significantly
alter the processing of the packet. This is required to ensure
that ConEx-Marked packets do not face any undue delays or drops
due to a badly chosen mechanism.
R-4: The markings should be immutable once set by the sender. At
the very least, any tampering should be detectable.
Based on these requirements, four solutions to implement the ConEx
information in the IPv6 header have been investigated: hop-by-hop
options, destination options, using IPv6 header bits (from the flow
label), and new extension headers. After evaluating the different
solutions, the ConEx working group concluded that the use of a
destination option would best address these requirements.
Hop-by-hop options would have been the best solution for carrying
ConEx markings if they had met requirement R-3. There is currently
some work ongoing in the 6MAN working group to address this very
issue [HBH-HEADER]. This new behavior would address R-3 and would
make hop-by-hop options the preferred solution for carrying ConEx
markings.
Choosing to use a destination option does not necessarily satisfy the
requirement for on-path visibility, because it can be encapsulated by
additional IP header(s). Therefore, ConEx-aware network devices,
including policy or audit devices, might have to follow the chaining
(extension-) headers into inner IP headers to find ConEx information.
This choice was a compromise between fast-path performance of ConEx-
aware network nodes and visibility, as discussed in Section 5.
Please note that the IPv6 specification [RFC2460] does not require or
expect intermediate nodes to inspect destination options such as the
Krishnan, et al. Experimental [Page 4]
RFC 7837 ConEx Destination Option May 2016
ConEx Destination Option (CDO). This implies that ConEx-aware
intermediate nodes following this specification need updated
extension header processing code to be able read the destination
options.
4. ConEx Destination Option (CDO)
The CDO is a destination option that can be included in IPv6
datagrams that are sent by ConEx-aware senders in order to inform
ConEx-aware nodes on the path about the congestion encountered by
packets earlier in the same flow or the expected risk of encountering
congestion in the future. The CDO does not have any alignment
requirements.

congestion signaled using Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)
[RFC3168].
Krishnan, et al. Experimental [Page 5]
RFC 7837 ConEx Destination Option May 2016
C Bit
When this bit is set, the transport sender is building up
congestion credit in the audit function.
Reserved (res)
These four bits are not used in the current specification. They
are set to zero by the sender and are ignored by the receiver.
All packets sent over a ConEx-capable TCP connection or belonging to
the same ConEx-capable flow MUST carry the CDO. The chg bit (the
third-highest-order bit) in the CDO Option Type field is set to zero,
meaning that the CDO option is immutable. Network devices with
ConEx-aware functions read the flags, but all network devices MUST
forward the CDO unaltered.
The CDO SHOULD be placed as the first option in the Destination
Option header before the AH [RFC4302] and/or Encapsulating Security
Payload (ESP) [RFC4303] (if present). The IPsec Authentication
Header (AH) MAY be used to verify that the CDO has not been modified.
If the X bit is zero, all the other three bits are undefined and thus
MUST be ignored and forwarded unchanged by network nodes. The X bit
set to zero means that the connection is ConEx-capable but that this
packet MUST NOT be counted when determining ConEx information in an
audit function. This can be the case if no congestion feedback is
(currently) available, e.g., in TCP if one endpoint has been
receiving data but sending nothing but pure ACKs (no user data) for
some time. This is because pure ACKs do not advance the sequence
number, so the TCP endpoint receiving them cannot reliably tell
whether any have been lost due to congestion. Pure TCP ACKs cannot
be ECN-marked either [RFC3168].
If the X bit is set, any of the other three bits (L, E, or C) might
be set. Whenever one of these bits is set, the number of bytes
carried by this IP packet (including the IP header that directly
encapsulates the CDO and everything that IP header encapsulates)
SHOULD be counted to determine congestion or credit information. In
IPv6, the number of bytes can easily be calculated by adding the
number 40 (length of the IPv6 header in bytes) to the value present
in the Payload Length field in the IPv6 header.
The credit signal represents potential for congestion. If a
congestion event occurs, a corresponding amount of credit is consumed
as outlined in [RFC7713]. A ConEx-enabled sender SHOULD, therefore,
signal sufficient credit in advance of any congestion event to cover
the (estimated maximum) amount of lost or CE-marked bytes that could
Krishnan, et al. Experimental [Page 6]
RFC 7837 ConEx Destination Option May 2016
occur in such a congestion event. This estimation depends on the
heuristics used and aggressiveness of the sender when deciding the
appropriate sending rate (congestion control). Note that the maximum
congestion risk is that all packets in flight get lost or CE-marked;
therefore, this would be the most conservative estimation for the
congestion risk. After a congestion event, if the sender intends to
take the same risk again, it just needs to replace the consumed
credit as non-consumed credit does not expire. For the case of TCP,
this is described in detail in [RFC7786].
If the L or E bit is set, a congestion signal in the form of a loss
or an ECN mark, respectively, was previously experienced by the same
connection.
In principle, all of these three bits (L, E, or C) might be set in
the same packet. In this case, the packet size MUST be counted once
for each respective ConEx information counter.
If a network node extracts the ConEx information from a connection,
it is expected to hold this information in bytes, e.g., comparing the
total number of bytes sent with the number of bytes sent with ConEx
congestion marks (L or E) to determine the current whole path
congestion level. Therefore, a ConEx-aware node that processes the
CDO MUST use the Payload Length field of the preceding IPv6 header
for byte-based counting. When a ratio is measured and equally sized
packets can be assumed, counting the number of packets (instead of
the number of bytes) should deliver the same result. But an audit
function must be aware that this estimation can be quite wrong if,
for example, different sized packed are sent; thus, it is not
reliable.
All remaining bits in the CDO are reserved for future use (which are
currently the last four bits of the eight bit option space). A ConEx
sender SHOULD set the reserved bits in the CDO to zero. Other nodes
MUST ignore these bits and ConEx-aware intermediate nodes MUST
forward them unchanged, whatever their values. They MAY log the
presence of a non-zero Reserved field.
The CDO is only applicable on unicast or anycast packets (for
reasoning, see the note regarding item J on multicast at the end of
Section 3.3 of [RFC7713]). A ConEx sender MUST NOT send a packet
with the CDO to a multicast address. ConEx-capable network nodes
MUST treat a multicast packet with the X flag set the same as an
equivalent packet without the CDO, and they SHOULD forward it
unchanged.
As stated in [RFC7713] (see Section 3.3, item N on network-layer
requirements), protocol specs should describe any warning or error
Krishnan, et al. Experimental [Page 7]
RFC 7837 ConEx Destination Option May 2016
messages relevant to the encoding. There are no warnings or error
messages associated with the CDO.
5. Implementation in the Fast Path of ConEx-Aware Routers
The ConEx information is being encoded into a destination option so
that it does not impact forwarding performance in the non-ConEx-aware
nodes on the path. Since destination options are not usually
processed by routers, the existence of the CDO does not affect the
fast-path processing of the datagram on non-ConEx-aware routers,
i.e., they are not pushed into the slow path towards the control
plane for exception processing.
ConEx-aware nodes still need to process the CDO without severely
affecting forwarding. For this to be possible, the ConEx-aware
routers need to quickly ascertain the presence of the CDO and process
the option if it is present. To efficiently perform this, the CDO
needs to be placed in a fairly deterministic location. In order to
facilitate forwarding on ConEx-aware routers, ConEx-aware senders
that send IPv6 datagrams with the CDO SHOULD place the CDO as the
first destination option in the Destination Option header.
6. Tunnel Processing
As with any destination option, an ingress tunnel endpoint will not
normally copy the CDO when adding an encapsulating outer IP header.
In general, an ingress tunnel SHOULD NOT copy the CDO to the outer
header as this would change the number of bytes that would be
counted. However, it MAY copy the CDO to the outer header in order
to facilitate visibility by subsequent on-path ConEx functions if the
configuration of the tunnel ingress and the ConEx nodes is
coordinated. This trades off the performance of ConEx functions
against that of tunnel processing.
An egress tunnel endpoint SHOULD ignore any CDO in the outer header
on decapsulation of an outer IP header. The information in any inner
CDO will always be considered correct, even if it differs from any
outer CDO. Therefore, the decapsulator can strip the outer CDO
without comparison to the inner. A decapsulator MAY compare the two
and MAY log any case where they differ. However, the packet MUST be
forwarded irrespective of any such anomaly, given an outer CDO is
only a performance optimization.
A network node that assesses ConEx information SHOULD search for
encapsulated IP headers until a CDO is found. At any specific
network location, the maximum necessary depth of search is likely to
be the same for all packets between a given set of tunnel endpoints.
Krishnan, et al. Experimental [Page 8]
RFC 7837 ConEx Destination Option May 2016
7. Compatibility with Use of IPsec
A network-based attacker could alter ConEx information to fool an
audit function in a downstream network into discarding packets. If
the endpoints are using the IPsec Authentication Header (AH)
[RFC2460] to detect alteration of IP headers along the path, AH will
also detect alteration of the CDO header. Nonetheless, AH protection
will rarely need to be introduced for ConEx, because attacks by one
network on another are rare if they are traceable. Other known
attacks from one network on another, such as TTL expiry attacks, are
more damaging to the innocent network (because the ConEx audit
discards silently) and less traceable (because TTL is meant to
change, whereas CDO is not).
Section 4 specifies that the CDO is placed in the Destination Option
header before the AH and/or ESP headers so that ConEx information
remains in the clear if ESP is being used to encrypt other
transmitted information in transport mode [RFC4301]. In general, a
Destination Option header inside an IPv6 packet can be placed in two
possible positions, either before the Routing header or after the
ESP/AH headers as described in Section 4.1 of [RFC2460]. If the CDO
was placed in the latter position and an ESP header was used with
encryption, ConEx-aware intermediate nodes would not be able to view
and interpret the CDO, effectively rendering it useless.
The IPv6 protocol architecture currently does not provide a mechanism
for new headers to be copied to the outer IP header. Therefore, if
IPsec encryption is used in tunnel mode, ConEx information cannot be
accessed over the extent of the ESP tunnel.
The destination IP stack will not usually process the CDO; therefore,
the sender can send a CDO without checking if the receiver will
understand it. The CDO MUST still be forwarded to the destination IP
stack, because the destination might check the integrity of the whole
packet, irrespective of whether it understands ConEx.
8. Mitigating Flooding Attacks by Using Preferential Drop
The ideas in this section are aspirational, not being essential to
the use of ConEx for more general traffic management. However, once
CDO information is present, the CDO header could optionally also be
used in the data plane of any IP-aware forwarding node to mitigate
flooding attacks.
Please note that ConEx is an experimental protocol and that any kind
of mechanism that reacts to information provided by the ConEx
protocol needs to be evaluated in experimentation as well. This is
Krishnan, et al. Experimental [Page 9]
RFC 7837 ConEx Destination Option May 2016
also true, or especially true, for the preferential drop mechanism
described below.
Dropping packets preferentially that are not ConEx-capable or do not
carry a ConEx mark can be beneficial to mitigate flooding attacks as
ConEx-Marked packets can be assumed to be already restricted by a
ConEx ingress policer as further described in [RFC7713]. Therefore,
the following ConEx-based preferential dropping scheme is proposed:
If a router queue experiences a very high load so that it has to drop
arriving packets, it MAY preferentially drop packets within the same
DiffServ Per-Hop Behavior (PHB) using the preference order given in
Table 1 (1 means drop first). Additionally, if a router implements
preferential drop based on ConEx, it SHOULD also support ECN marking.
Even though preferential dropping can be difficult to implement on
some hardware, if nowhere else, routers at the egress of a network
SHOULD implement preferential drop based on ConEx markings (stronger
than the MAY above).
+----------------------+----------------+
| | Preference |
+----------------------+----------------+
| Not-ConEx or no CDO | 1 (drop first) |
| X (but not L,E or C) | 2 |
| X and L,E or C | 3 |
+----------------------+----------------+
Table 1: Drop Preference for ConEx Packets
A flooding attack is inherently about congestion of a resource. As
load focuses on a victim, upstream queues grow, requiring honest
sources to pre-load packets with a higher fraction of ConEx marks.
If ECN marking is supported by downstream queues, preferential
dropping provides the most benefits because, if the queue is so
congested that it drops traffic, it will be CE-marking 100% of any
forwarded traffic. Honest sources will therefore be sending 100%
ConEx E-marked packets (and subject to rate-limiting at an ingress
policer).
Senders under malicious control can either do the same as honest
sources and be rate-limited at ingress, or they can understate
congestion and not set the E bit.
If the preferential drop ranking is implemented on queues, these
queues will reserve E/L-marked traffic until last. So, the traffic
from malicious sources will all be automatically dropped first.
Either way, malicious sources cannot send more than honest sources.
Krishnan, et al. Experimental [Page 10]
RFC 7837 ConEx Destination Option May 2016
Therefore, ConEx-based preferential dropping as described above
discriminates against attack traffic if done as part of the overall
policing framework as described in [RFC7713].
9. Security Considerations
[RFC7713] describes the overall audit framework for assuring that
ConEx markings truly reflect actual path congestion and [CONEX-AUDIT]
provides further details on the handling of audit signals. This
section focuses purely on the security of the encoding chosen for
ConEx markings.
The CDO Option Type is defined with a chg bit set to zero as
described in Section 4. If IPsec AH is used, a zero chg bit causes
AH to cover the CDO option so that its end-to-end integrity can be
verified, as explained in Section 4.
This document specifies that the Reserved field in the CDO must be
ignored and forwarded unchanged even if it does not contain all
zeroes. The Reserved field is also required to sit outside the
Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP), at least in transport mode (see
Section 7). This allows the sender to use the Reserved field as a
4-bit-per-packet covert channel to send information to an on-path
node outside the control of IPsec. However, a covert channel is only
a concern if it can circumvent IPsec in tunnel mode and, in the
tunnel mode case, ESP would close the covert channel as outlined in
Section 7.
10. IANA Considerations
The IPv6 ConEx destination option is used for carrying ConEx
markings. This document uses the experimental option type 0x1E (as
assigned in IANA's "Destination Options and Hop-by-Hop Options"
registry) with the act bits set to 00 and the chg bit set to 0 for
realizing this option. No further allocation action is required from
IANA at this time.
