DHC WG, IETF-93 (Prague)

 

Date: Thursday, July 23, 2015, 13:00-15:00 (CEST)

Location: Berlin/Brussels Room

Chairs: Tomek Mrugalski & Bernie Volz

Secretary: Sheng Jiang

Presentations materials: https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/93/materials.html#wg-dhc

 

1.                   Co-Chairs - Administrativia (Agenda Bashing, WG Status, ...) - 5 minutes

Hackathon on July 18 & 19, a group of participators went through Stateful issues (RFC7550)

and tested Secure DHCPv6 interoperated with two implementations.

Calling topics for Hackathon in IETF-94, Yokohama, besides DHCP4o6 (RFC 7341)

6o4 - Marcin / Francis /

2.                   Stable Privacy Addresses next steps - 10 minutes

   draft-ietf-dhc-stable-privacy-addresses

   Bernie: there is few discussion on this draft since adoption.

Lorenzo: Just leave it up to server implementers.  It doesn't optimize for server memory.

There is not much value in this.

Marcin: also little value.

Ted Lemon: useful to have an algorithm to prevent bad algorithms e.g. privacy leakage

Fernando: it is useful

Tomek (no hat): a small amount of value - not standards track - prefer informational

Christian Huitema: stable is against privacy

Ted Lemon: do this algorithm if you want privacy - Applicability statement.

Eric: First paragraph of section 4 is controversial

"DHCPv6 server implementations conforming to this specification MUST
generate non-temporary IPv6 addresses using the algorithm specified
in this section."

Bernie: there is one use case for CPE.

Dead/Standards/Info (consensus of hum for dead, standards silence, Info soft)

Bernie: it seems the WG prefers to kill it.

Ted Lemon: should not kill this, otherwise IA-NA should also be deprecated, too.

Post Meeting Action: Confirm dead decision on WG mailing list.

3.                   Secure DHCPv6 and DHCPv4, Sheng Jiang - 10 minutes

   draft-ietf-dhc-sedhcpv6, draft-jiang-dhc-sedhcpv4

Secure DHCPv6:

Adapt SeND timestamp format that was proposed during the hackathon/WG
discussion. And other terminologies need to be fixed.

Received comments on supporting multiple certs. Question to WG/SAG: Do we
need to support multiple certs?

Ted Lemon: no point in multiple - do sequentially

UDP Frag issues if present should be raise in Security Considerations, but
not fixed in this doc. It is generic for UDP not for DHCPv6 specific.

Bernie:  UDP/IP is a service to DHC

Christian H: still worries about fragmentation.

Ted Lemon: We can't solve this problem in this WG. Best is the enemy of
good enough.

The coauthor is given a report and calling help in SAG for generic security
Issue. But it we could not solve these issues, the document should still go forward

Brian: Slide 4: need describe where this is used. Different trust model
enterprise vs. coffee shop - be aware of timing difference

Secure DHCPv4:

Just changes report no questions

Order work on Marcin: V6 before V4

   Bernie: the WG would process Secure DHCPv4 after Secure DHCPv6 stabilized.

Post Meeting Action: Confirm switch to SeND time format.

4.                   Anonymity Profile Implementation & Deployment results,
Christian Huitema - 15 minutes

   draft-ietf-dhc-anonymity-profile

Marcin:  basically in good state.

- Wake-up behavior is not clear. Just do discover as otherwise you leak address.

Lorenzo: Why not just send hello+mac or something?

Chris: no sending simpler, invent new name is a lie with compatibility issue; the name
should not be reversible.

Lorenzo: switching on same ssid - does it burn down DHCP server?

WGLC after next draft

Post Meeting Action: Make any last edits to 3 documents related to privacy, then initiate
WGLC on all 3 together.

5.                   DHCPv6bis update & issues discussion, dhcpv6bis team - 25 minutes

   draft-ietf-dhc-rfc3315bis

   draft-cui-dhc-dhcpv6-prefix-length-hint-issue

Steve:  No points for encapsulated options – rfc's say what MUST be there.
- Lots of implicit updates?

Prefix length hint

Ole: bad initial design

Suresh: same concern

Ted Lemon: not require special cases in the server

Drop lifetime hints; server ignore it

Ole: Supports dropping.  How to hint renumber wanted?

Ted Lemon: client initiate renumber: request new prefix then release old one once
you have the new one

Bernie: will make this more explicit in document

Marcin:  move #81 forward as soon as possible and combine if possible

How to grow PD is an important issue

Marcin: more info on how to do this

Ted: solution is to renumber into bigger.

6.                   YANG Data Model for DHCPv6, Linhui Sun - 15 minutes

   draft-cui-dhc-dhcpv6-yang

Bernie:  how does this apply to hackaton?

Marcin:  worried about how well this works with existing implementations - and
updates to them - will do careful review

?:  needs to cover light weight relay agent.

Bernie: worried if this will fail like older attempts failed
Is this implementable/usable? Need feedback from implementers (expected

to be part of the IETF'94 hackathon)

Chair: Bernie: is there interest from the WG?  Dozen or so hands

Tomek's note: around 20 people interested.

Post Meeting Action: Nothing specific; authors and interested parties should review
document and develop mappings to several implementations to confirm Yang model.

7.                   Authentication and Encryption Mechanism for DHCPv6,
Tianxiang Li - 15 minutes

   draft-cui-dhc-dhcpv6-encryption

Eric: could you do encryption without certificate? Certificate has privacy issue

A: yes.

Christian: without authentication, security is meaningless. Encryption to the server
only protects when you trust server.

Discussion about server trust.

Francis: go talk to crypto experts.

Chair: Bernie:  interest in proceeding?  Some not huge

Tomek's note: around 10 people interested.

Post Meeting Action: Solicit input to concept and details from security area (Francis

and co-authors to initiate). Revised draft expected before possible adoption call.

WG co-chairs will discuss this work item with AD to gauge level of interest in

potentially adding to charter.

8.                   4o6 Bulk and Active Leasequery, Tianxiang Li - 10 minutes

   draft-cui-dhc-dhcp4o6-bulk-active-leasequery

   No clarifying questions/discussion

9.                   Relay Initiated Release, Sunil M Gandhewar - 5 minutes

   draft-gandhewar-dhc-v6-relay-initiated-release

   draft-gandhewar-dhc-relay-initiated-releasee

Ian: this will cause problems - Client will think it has a lease but it has gone from
underneath it

Ted Lemon:  why for v6?  Merge drafts.

Post Meeting Action: Authors should follow up with commenters and address
their concerns (mostly around why this is needed and to assure it will not
cause problems if implemented with state possibly retained in clients).
