This memo   does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.  Distribution of   this memo is unlimited.Abstract   This memo describes the Data Link Switching Remote Access Protocol   that is used between workstations and routers to transport SNA/   NetBIOS traffic over TCP sessions. Any questions or comments should   be sent to drap@cisco.com.1.  Introduction   Since the Data Link Switching Protocol,RFC 1795, was published, some   software vendors have begun implementing DLSw on workstations. The   implementation of DLSw on a large number of workstations raises   several important issues that must be addressed. Scalability is the   major concern. For example, the number of TCP sessions to the DLSw   router increases in direct proportion to the number of workstations   added. Another concern is efficiency. Since DLSw is a switch-to-   switch protocol, it is not efficient when implemented on   workstations.   DRAP addresses the above issues. It introduces a hierarchical   structure to resolve the scalability problems. All workstations are   clients to the router (server) rather than peers to the router. This   creates a client/server model. It also provides a more efficient   protocol between the workstation (client) and the router (server).Chiang, et. al.

Running DLSw on a large number of workstations creates a                         scalability problem.   Figure 2-1 shows a typical DLSw implementation on a workstation. The   workstations are connected to the central site DLSw router over the   IP network.  As the network grows, scalability will become an issue   as the number of TCP sessions increases due to the growing number of   workstations.Chiang, et. al.

DLSw Remote Access Protocol solves the scalability problem.   In a large network, DRAP addresses the scalability problem by   significantly reducing the number of peers that connect to the   central site router. The workstations (DRAP client) and the router   (DRAP server) behave in a Client/Server relationship. Workstations   are attached to a DRAP server. A DRAP server has a single peer   connection to the central site router.2.2.  Dynamic Address Resolution   In a DLSw network, each workstation needs a MAC address to   communicate with a FEP attached to a LAN. When DLSw is implemented on   a workstation, it does not always have a MAC address defined. For   example, when a workstation connects to a router through a modem via   PPP, it only consists of an IP address. In this case, the user must   define a virtual MAC address. This is administratively intensive   since each workstation must have an unique MAC address.   DRAP uses the Dynamic Address Resolution protocol to solve this   problem. The Dynamic Address Resolution protocol permits the server   to dynamically assign a MAC address to a client without complex   configuration.   For a client to initiate a session to a server, the workstation sends   a direct request to the server. The request contains the destination   MAC address and the destination SAP. The workstation can either   specify its own MAC address, or request the server to assign one to   it. The server's IP address must be pre-configured on the   workstation. If IP addresses are configured for multiple servers at aChiang, et. al.              Informational                      [Page 3]

For a server to initiate a session to a client, the server sends a   directed request to the workstation. The workstation must pre-   register its MAC address at the server. This can be done either by   configuration on the server or registration at the server (both MAC   addresses and IP addresses will be registered).2.3.  TCP Connection   The transport used between the client and the server is TCP. Before a   TCP session is established between the client and the server, no   message can be sent. The default parameters associated with the TCP   connections between the client and the server are as follows:      Socket Family     AF_INET        (Internet protocols)      Socket Type       SOCK_STREAM    (stream socket)      Port Number       1973   There is only one TCP connection between the client and the server.   It is used for both read and write operations.3.  DRAP Format3.1.  General Frame Format   The General format of the DRAP frame is as follows:             +-------------+-----------+-----------+             | DRAP Header | DRAP Data | User Data |             +-------------+-----------+-----------+                     Figure 3-1. DRAP Frame Format   The DRAP protocol is contained in the DRAP header, which is common to   all frames passed between the DRAP client and the server. This header   is 4 bytes long. The next section will explain the details.   The next part is the DRAP Data. The structure and the size are based   on the type of messages carried in the DRAP frame. The DRAP data is   used to process the frame, but it is optional.   The third part of the frame is the user data, which is sent by the   local system to the remote system. The size of this block is variable   and is included in the frame only when there is data to be sent to   the remote system.Chiang, et. al.              Informational                      [Page 4]

RFC 2106                         DLSRAP                    February 19973.2.  Header Format   The DRAP header is used to identify the message type and the length   of the frame. This is a general purpose header used for each frame   that is passed between the DRAP server and the client. More   information is needed for frames like CAN_U_REACH and I_CAN_REACH,   therefore, it is passed to the peer as DRAP data. The structure of   the DRAP data depends on the type of frames, and will be discussed in   detail in later sections.   The DRAP Header is given below:             +-------------------------------------------+             | DRAP Packet Header (Each row is one byte) |             +===========================================+           0 | Protocol ID / Version Number              |             +-------------------------------------------+           1 | Message Type                              |             +-------------------------------------------+           2 | Packet Length                             |             + - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +           3 |                                           |             +-------------------------------------------+                     Figure 3-2. DRAP Header Format   o The Protocol ID uses the first 4 bits of this field and is set to     "1000".   o The Version Number uses the next 4 bits in this field and is set     to "0001".   o The message type is the DRAP message type.   o The Total Packet length is the length of the packet including the     DRAP header, DRAP data and User Data. The minimum size of the     packet is 4, which is the length of the header.3.3.  DRAP Messages   Most of the Drap frames are based on the existing DLSw frames and   have the same names. The information in the corresponding DRAP and   DLSw frames may differ; but the functionalities are the same. Thus   the DLSw State Machine is used to handle these DRAP frames. Some new   DRAP frames were created to handle special DRAP functions. For   example, the new DRAP frames, I_CANNOT_REACH and START_DL_FAILED   provide negative acknowledgment. The DLSw frames not needed for DRAP,   are dropped.Chiang, et. al.              Informational                      [Page 5]

DRAP Frames3.4.  DRAP Data formats   The DRAP data is used to carry information required for each DRAP   frame. This information is used by the Server or the Client and it   does not contain any user data. The DRAP data frame types are listed   in the following sections. Please note that the sender should set the   reserved fields to zero and the receiver should ignore these fields.3.4.1.  CAN_U_REACH, I_CAN_REACH, and I_CANNOT_REACH Frames   These frame types are used to locate resources in a network. A   CAN_U_REACH frame is sent to the server to determine if the resource   is reachable. The server responds with an I_CAN_REACH frame if it can   reach the workstation identified in the CAN_U_REACH frame, or with an   I_CANNOT_REACH if the station is not reachable. The server should not   send the CAN_U_REACH frame to the clients. When a server receives an   explorer whose destination is a known client, the server should   respond to it directly.Chiang, et. al.              Informational                      [Page 6]

CAN_U_REACH, I_CAN_REACH, and I_CANNOT_REACH Data   The MAC Address field carries the MAC address of the target   workstation that is being searched. This is a six-byte MAC Address   field. The same MAC Address is returned in the I_CAN_REACH and the   I_CANNOT_REACH frames.   Byte 6 is the source SAP. The destination SAP is set to zero when an   explorer frame is sent to the network.   If the sender did not receive a positive acknowledgment within a   recommended threshold value of 60 seconds, the destination is   considered not reachable.3.4.2.  START_DL, DL_STARTED, and START_DL_FAILED Frames   These frame types are used by DRAP to establish a link station   (circuit). The START_DL frame is sent directly to the server that   responds to the CAN_U_REACH frame. When the server receives this   frame, it establishes a link station with the source and destinationChiang, et. al.              Informational                      [Page 7]

START_DL, DL_STARTED, and START_DL_FAILED Data   The Host MAC address is the address of the target station if the   session is initiated from the client, or it is the address of the   originating station if the session is initiated from the server.Chiang, et. al.

RFC 2106                         DLSRAP                    February 1997   The next two fields are the Host and Client SAPs. Each is one byte   long. The Host SAP is the SAP used by the station with the Host MAC   address. The Client SAP is the SAP used by the client.   The Origin Session ID, is the ID of the originating station that   initiates the circuit. The originating station uses this ID to   identify the newly created circuit. Before the START_DL frame is sent   to the target station, the originating station sets up a control   block for the circuit. This link station information is set because   DRAP does not use a three-way handshake for link station   establishment. In the DL_STARTED and the START_DL_FAILED messages,   the Origin Session ID is returned as received in the START_DL frame.   The Target Session ID is set by the target station and returned in   the DL_STARTED message.   The Target Session ID is not valid for the START_DL and the   START_DL_FAILED frame, and should be treated as Reserved fields. In   the DL_STARTED frame, it is the session ID that is used to set up   this circuit by the target station.   The Largest Frame Size field is used to indicate the maximum frame   size that can be used by the client. It is valid only when it is set   by the server. The Largest Frame Size field must be set to zero when   a frame is sent by the client. Both START_DL and DL_STARTED use the   Largest Frame Size field and only its rightmost 6 bits are used.  The   format is defined in the IEEE 802.1D Standard, Annex C, Largest Frame   Bits (LF). Bit 3 to bit 5 are base bits. Bit 0 to bit 2 are extended   bits. The Largest Frame Size field is not used in the START_DL_FAILED   frame and must be set to zero.           bit   7    6    5    4    3    2    1    0                 r    r    b    b    b    e    e    e                     Figure 3-7. Largest Frame Size   Please note that if the client is a PU 2.1 node, the client should   use the maximum I-frame size negotiated in the XID3 exchange.   The Initial window size in the START_DL frame gives the receive   window size on the originating side, and the target DRAP station   returns its receive window size in the DL_STARTED frame. The field is   reserved in the START_DL_FAILED frame. The usage of the window size   is the same as the one used in DLSw.  Please refer toRFC 1795 for   details.   The last two bits are reserved for future use. They must be set to   zero by the sender and ignored by the receiver.Chiang, et. al.              Informational                     [Page 10]

HALT_DL, HALT_DL_NOACK, and DL_HALTED Frames   These frame types are used by DRAP to disconnect a link station. A   HALT_DL frame is sent directly to the remote workstation to indicate   that the sender wishes to disconnect. When the receiver receives this   frame, it tears down the session that is associated with the Original   Session ID and the Target Session ID provided in the HALT_DL frame.   The receiver should respond with the DL_HALTED frame. The DL_HALTED   frame should use the same Session ID values as the received HALT_DL   message without swapping them. The HALT_DL_NOACK frame is used when   the response is not required.           +---------------+-----------------------+           | Field Name    | Information           |           +---------------+-----------------------+           | Message Type  | 0x0C, 0x0D, or 0x0E   |           +---------------+-----------------------+           | Packet Length | 0x10                  |           +---------------+-----------------------+        Figure 3-8.

DATA_FRAME Data Format   The definition of the first 8 bytes is the same as the START_DL   frame. The Broadcast Type field indicates the type of broadcast   frames in use; Single Route Broadcast, All Route Broadcast, or   Directed. The target side will use the same broadcast type. In the   case of Directed frame, if the RIF information is known, the target   peer can send a directed frame. If not, a Single Route Broadcast   frame is sent.3.4.6.  CAP_XCHANGE Frame   In DRAP, the capability exchange frame is used to exchange the   client's information, such as its MAC address, with the server. If a   DRAP client has its own MAC address defined, it should put it in the   MAC address field. Otherwise, that field must be set to zero.   When the DRAP server receives the CAP_XCHANGE frame, it should cache   the MAC address if it is non zero. The DRAP server also verifies that   the MAC address is unique. The server should return a CAP_XCHANGE   response frame with the MAC address supplied by the client if the MACChiang, et. al.              Informational                     [Page 14]

RFC 2106                         DLSRAP                    February 1997   address is accepted. If a client does not have its own MAC address,   the server should assign a MAC address to the client and put that   address in the CAP_XCHANGE command frame.   A client should record the new MAC address assigned by the server and   return a response with the assigned MAC address. If the client cannot   accept the assigned MAC address, another CAP_XCHANGE command with the   MAC address field set to zero should be sent to the server. The   server should allocate a new MAC address for this client.   During the capability exchange, both the client and the server can   send command frames. The process stops when either side sends a   CAP_XCHANGE response frame. When the response frame is sent, the MAC   address in the CAP_XCHANGE frame should be the same as the one in the   previous received command. The sender of the CAP_XCHANGE response   agrees to use the MAC address defined in the previous command.   The number of CAP_XCHANGE frames that need to be exchanged is   determined by the client and the server independently. When the   number of exchange frames has exceeded the pre-defined number set by   either the server or the client, the session should be brought down.   The flag is used to show the capability of the sender. The following   list shows the valid flags:   0x01 NetBIOS support. If a client sets this bit on, the server will        pass all NetBIOS explorers to this client. If this bit is not        set, only SNA traffic will be sent to this client.   0x02 TCP Listen Mode support. If a client supports TCP listen mode,        the server will keep the client's MAC and IP addresses even        after the TCP session is down. The cached information will be        used for server to connect out. If a client does not support        TCP listen mode, the cache will be deleted as soon as the TCP        session is down.   0x04 Command/Response. If this bit is set, it is a command,        otherwise, it is a response.   The values 0x01 and 0x02 are used only by the client. When a server   sends the command/response to a client, the server does not return   these values.   Starting with the Reserved field, implementors can optionally   implement the Capability Exchange Control Vector. Each Capability   Exchange Control Vector consists of three fields: Length (1 byte),   Type (1 byte), and Data (Length - 2 bytes). Two types of Control   Vectors are defined: SAP_LIST and VENDOR_CODE (described below). ToChiang, et. al.              Informational                     [Page 15]

RFC 2106                         DLSRAP                    February 1997   ensure compatibility, implementors should ignore the unknown Control   Vectors instead of treating them as errors.   0x01 SAP_LIST. Length: 2+n bytes, where n ranges from 1 to 16.      This control vector lists the SAPs that the client can support.      The maximum number of SAPs a client can define is 16. Therefore,      the length of this Control Vector ranges from 3 to 18. If the      SAP_LIST is not specified in the capability exchange, the server      assumes that the client can support all the SAP values. For      example, if a client can only support SAP 4 and 8, then the      following Control Vectors should be sent: "0x04, 0x01, 0x04,      0x08". The first byte indicates the length of 4. The second byte      indicates the control vector type of SAP_LIST. The last two bytes      indicate the supported SAP values; 0x04 and 0x08. This Control      Vector is used only by the client. If the server accepts this      Control Vector, it must return the same Control Vector to the      client.   0x02 VENDOR_CODE. Length: 6 bytes.      Each vendor is assigned a vendor code that identifies the vendor.      This Control Vector does not require a response.   After the receiver responds to a Control Vector, if the capability   exchange is not done, the sender does not have to send the same   Control Vector again.           +---------------+-----------------------+           | Field Name    | Information           |           +---------------+-----------------------+           | Message Type  | 0x12                  |           +---------------+-----------------------+           | Packet Length | 0x1C                  |           +---------------+-----------------------+                    Figure 3-14.

CAP_XCHANGE Data Format3.4.7.  CLOSE_PEER_REQ Frames   This frame is used for peer connection management and contains a   reason code field. The following list describes the valid reason   codes:   0x01 System shutdown. This indicates shutdown in progress.   0x02 Suspend. This code is used when there is no traffic between the      server and the client, and the server or the client wishes to      suspend the TCP session. When the TCP session is suspended, all      circuits should remain intact. The TCP session should be re-      established when new user data needs to be sent. When the TCP      session is re-established, there is no need to send the      CAP_XCHANGE frame again.   0x03 No MAC address available. This code is sent by the server when      there is no MAC address is available from the MAC address pool.           +---------------+-----------------------+           | Field Name    | Information           |           +---------------+-----------------------+           | Message Type  | 0x13                  |           +---------------+-----------------------+           | Packet Length | 0x08                  |           +---------------+-----------------------+                   Figure 3-16.

CLOSE_PEER_REQ Data Format3.4.8.  CLOSE_PEER_RSP, PEER_TEST_REQ, and PEER_TEST_RSP Frames   These three frames are used for peer connection management. There is   no data associated with them.   o CLOSE_PEER_RSP     CLOSE_PEER_RSP is the response for CLOSE_PEER_REQ.   o PEER_TEST_REQ and PEER_TEST_RSP     PEER_TEST_REQ and PEER_TEST_RSP are used for peer level keepalive.     Implementing PEER_TEST_REQ is optional, but PEER_TEST_RSP must be     implemented to respond to the PEER_TEST_REQ frame. When a     PEER_TEST_REQ frame is sent to the remote station, the sender     expects to receive the PEER_TEST_RSP frame in a predefined time     interval (the recommended value is 60 seconds). If the     PEER_TEST_RSP frame is not received in the predefined time     interval, the sender can send the PEER_TEST_REQ frame again. If a     predefined number of PEER_TEST_REQ frames is sent to the remote     station, but no PEER_TEST_RSP frame is received (the recommended     number is 3), the sender should close the TCP session with this     remote station and terminate all associated circuits.           +---------------+-----------------------+           | Field Name    | Information           |           +---------------+-----------------------+           | Message Type  | 0x14, 0x1D, or 0x1E   |           +---------------+-----------------------+           | Packet Length | 0x04                  |           +---------------+-----------------------+   Figure 3-18.
