All Rights Reserved.Abstract   The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMPv3) for IPv4 and the   Multicast Listener Discovery (MLDv2) for IPv6 add the capability for   applications to express source filters on multicast group   memberships, which allows receiver applications to determine the set   of senders (sources) from which to accept multicast traffic.

It also defines   the socket structures to provide input and output arguments to these   new application program interfaces (APIs).  These extensions are   designed to provide access to the source filtering features, while   introducing a minimum of change into the system and providing   complete compatibility for existing multicast applications.Table of Contents1.

Introduction   The de facto standard application program interface (API) for TCP/IP   applications is the "sockets" interface.  Although this API was   developed for Unix in the early 1980s it has also been implemented on   a wide variety of non-Unix systems.  TCP/IP applications written   using the sockets API have in the past enjoyed a high degree of   portability and we would like the same portability with applications   that employ multicast source filters.  Changes are required to the   sockets API to support such filtering and this memo describes these   changes.   This document specifies new socket options and functions to manage   source filters for IP Multicast group memberships.  It also defines   the socket structures to provide input and output arguments to these   new APIs.  These extensions are designed to provide access to the   source filtering features required by applications, while introducing   a minimum of change into the system and providing complete   compatibility for existing multicast applications.   Furthermore,RFC 3493 [1] defines socket interface extensions for   IPv6, including protocol-independent functions for most operations.Thaler, et al.               Informational                      [Page 2]

RFC 3678              Multicast Source Filter API           January 2004   However, while it defines join and leave functions for IPv6, it does   not provide protocol-independent versions of these operations.  Such   functions will be described in this document.   The reader should note that this document is for informational   purposes only, and that the official standard specification of the   sockets API is [2].2.  Design Considerations   There are a number of important considerations in designing changes   to this well-worn API:      o  The API changes should provide both source and binary         compatibility for programs written to the original API.  That         is, existing program binaries should continue to operate when         run on a system supporting the new API.  In addition, existing         applications that are re-compiled and run on a system         supporting the new API should continue to operate.  Simply put,         the API changes for multicast receivers that specify source         filters should not break existing programs.      o  The changes to the API should be as small as possible in order         to simplify the task of converting existing multicast receiver         applications to use source filters.      o  Applications should be able to detect when the new source         filter APIs are unavailable (e.g., calls fail with the ENOTSUPP         error) and react gracefully (e.g., revert to old non-source-         filter API or display a meaningful error message to the user).      o  Lack of type-safety in an API is a bad thing which should be         avoided when possible.   Several implementations exist that use ioctl() for a portion of the   functionality described herein, and for historical purposes, the   ioctl API is documented inAppendix A.  The preferred API, however,   includes new functions.  The reasons for adding new functions are:      o  New functions provide type-safety, unlike ioctl, getsockopt,         and setsockopt.      o  A new function can be written as a wrapper over an ioctl,         getsockopt, or setsockopt call, if necessary.  Hence, it         provides more freedom as to how the functionality is         implemented in an operating system.  For example, a new         function might be implemented as an inline function in anThaler, et al.               Informational                      [Page 3]

RFC 3678              Multicast Source Filter API           January 2004         include file, or a function exported from a user-mode library         which internally uses some mechanism to exchange information         with the kernel, or be implemented directly in the kernel.      o  At least one operation defined herein needs to be able to both         pass information to the TCP/IP stack, as well as retrieve         information from it.  In some implementations this is         problematic without either changing getsockopt or using ioctl.         Using new functions avoids the need to change such         implementations.2.1.  What Needs to be Added   The current IP Multicast APIs allow a receiver application to specify   the group address (destination) and (optionally) the local interface.   These existing APIs need not change (and cannot, to retain binary   compatibility).  Hence, what is needed are new source filter APIs   that provide the same functionality and also allow receiver multicast   applications to:      o  Specify zero or more unicast (source) address(es) in a source         filter.      o  Determine whether the source filter describes an inclusive or         exclusive list of sources.   The new API design must enable this functionality for both IPv4 and   IPv6.2.2.  Data Types   The data types of the structure elements given in this memo are   intended to be examples, not absolute requirements.  Whenever   possible, data types from POSIX 1003.1g [2] are used: uintN_t means   an unsigned integer of exactly N bits (e.g., uint32_t).2.3.  Headers   When function prototypes and structures are shown, we show the   headers that must be #included to cause that item to be defined.2.4.  Structures   When structures are described, the members shown are the ones that   must appear in an implementation.  Additional, nonstandard members   may also be defined by an implementation.  As an additionalThaler, et al.               Informational                      [Page 4]

RFC 3678              Multicast Source Filter API           January 2004   precaution, nonstandard members could be verified by Feature Test   Macros as described in [2].  (Such Feature Test Macros are not   defined by this RFC.)   The ordering shown for the members of a structure is the recommended   ordering, given alignment considerations of multibyte members, but an   implementation may order the members differently.3.  Overview of APIs   There are a number of different APIs described in this document that   are appropriate for a number of different application types and IP   versions.  Before providing detailed descriptions, this section   provides a "taxonomy" with a brief description of each.   There are two categories of source-filter APIs, both of which are   designed to allow multicast receiver applications to designate the   unicast address(es) of sender(s) along with the multicast group   (destination address) to receive.      o  Basic (Delta-based): Some applications desire the simplicity of         a delta-based API in which each function call specifies a         single source address which should be added to or removed from         the existing filter for a given multicast group address on         which to listen.  Such applications typically fall into either         of two categories:         +  Any-Source Multicast: By default, all sources are accepted.            Individual sources may be turned off and back on as needed            over time.  This is also known as "exclude" mode, since the            source filter contains a list of excluded sources.         +  Source-Specific Multicast: Only sources in a given list are            allowed.  The list may change over time.  This is also known            as "include" mode, since the source filter contains a list            of included sources.            This API would be used, for example, by "single-source"            applications such as audio/video broadcasting.  It would            also be used for logical multi-source sessions where each            source independently allocates its own Source-Specific            Multicast group address.      o  Advanced (Full-state): This API allows an application to define         a complete source-filter comprised of zero or more source         addresses, and replace the previous filter with a new one.Thaler, et al.               Informational                      [Page 5]

RFC 3678              Multicast Source Filter API           January 2004         Applications which require the ability to switch between filter         modes without leaving a group must use a full-state API (i.e.,         to change the semantics of the source filter from inclusive to         exclusive, or vice versa).         Applications which use a large source list for a given group         address should also use the full-state API, since filter         changes can be done atomically in a single operation.   The above types of APIs exist in IPv4-specific variants as well as   with protocol-independent variants.  One might ask why the protocol-   independent APIs cannot accommodate IPv4 applications as well as   IPv6.  Since any IPv4 application requires modification to use   multicast source filters anyway, it might seem like a good   opportunity to create IPv6-compatible source code.   The primary reasons for extending an IPv4-specific API are:      o  To minimize changes needed in existing IPv4 multicast         application source code to add source filter support.      o  To avoid overloading APIs to accommodate the differences         between IPv4 interface addresses (e.g., in the ip_mreq         structure) and interface indices.4.  IPv4 Multicast Source Filter APIs   Version 3 of the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMPv3) [3] and   version 2 of the Multicast Listener Discovery (MLDv2) protocol [4]   provide the ability to communicate source filter information to the   router and hence avoid pulling down data from unwanted sources onto   the local link.  However, source filters may be implemented by the   operating system regardless of whether the routers support IGMPv3 or   MLDv2, so when the source-filter API is available, applications can   always benefit from using it.4.1.  Basic (Delta-based) API for IPv4   The reception of multicast packets is controlled by the setsockopt()   options summarized below.  An error of EOPNOTSUPP is returned if   these options are used with getsockopt().Thaler, et al.               Informational                      [Page 6]

RFC 3678              Multicast Source Filter API           January 2004   The following structures are used by both the Any-Source Multicast   and the Source-Specific Multicast API:   #include <netinet/in.h>   struct ip_mreq {      struct in_addr imr_multiaddr;  /* IP address of group */      struct in_addr imr_interface;  /* IP address of interface */   };   struct ip_mreq_source {      struct in_addr imr_multiaddr;  /* IP address of group */      struct in_addr imr_sourceaddr; /* IP address of source */      struct in_addr imr_interface;  /* IP address of interface */   };4.1.1.  IPv4 Any-Source Multicast API   The following socket options are defined in <netinet/in.h> for   applications in the Any-Source Multicast category:   Socket option             Argument type   IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP         struct ip_mreq   IP_BLOCK_SOURCE           struct ip_mreq_source   IP_UNBLOCK_SOURCE         struct ip_mreq_source   IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP        struct ip_mreq   IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP and IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP are already implemented on   most operating systems, and are used to join and leave an any-source   group.   IP_BLOCK_SOURCE can be used to block data from a given source to a   given group (e.g., if the user "mutes" that source), and   IP_UNBLOCK_SOURCE can be used to undo this (e.g., if the user then   "unmutes" the source).4.1.2.  IPv4 Source-Specific Multicast API   The following socket options are available for applications in the   Source-Specific category:   Socket option             Argument type   IP_ADD_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP  struct ip_mreq_source   IP_DROP_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP struct ip_mreq_source   IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP        struct ip_mreq   IP_ADD_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP and IP_DROP_SOURCE_MEMBERSHIP are used to   join and leave a source-specific group.Thaler, et al.               Informational                      [Page 7]

RFC 3678              Multicast Source Filter API           January 2004   IP_DROP_MEMBERSHIP is supported, as a convenience, to drop all   sources which have been joined for a particular group and interface.   The operations are the same as if the socket had been closed.4.1.3.  Error Codes   When the option would be legal on the group, but an address is   invalid (e.g., when trying to block a source that is already blocked   by the socket, or when trying to drop an unjoined group) the error   generated is EADDRNOTAVAIL.   When the option itself is not legal on the group (i.e., when trying a   Source-Specific option on a group after doing IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP, or   when trying an Any-Source option without doing IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP) the   error generated is EINVAL.   When any of these options are used with getsockopt(), the error   generated is EOPNOTSUPP.   Finally, if the implementation imposes a limit on the maximum number   of sources in a source filter, ENOBUFS is generated when an operation   would exceed the maximum.4.2.  Advanced (Full-state) API for IPv4   Several implementations exist that use ioctl() for this API, and for   historical purposes, the ioctl() API is documented inAppendix A.   The preferred API uses the new functions described below.4.2.1.  Set Source Filter     #include <netinet/in.h>     int setipv4sourcefilter(int s, struct in_addr interface,                             struct in_addr group, uint32_t fmode,                             uint32_t numsrc, struct in_addr *slist);   On success the value 0 is returned, and on failure, the value -1 is   returned and errno is set accordingly.   The s argument identifies the socket.   The interface argument holds the local IP address of the interface.   The group argument holds the IP multicast address of the group.Thaler, et al.               Informational                      [Page 8]

RFC 3678              Multicast Source Filter API           January 2004   The fmode argument identifies the filter mode.  The value of this   field must be either MCAST_INCLUDE or MCAST_EXCLUDE, which are   likewise defined in <netinet/in.h>.   The numsrc argument holds the number of source addresses in the slist   array.   The slist argument points to an array of IP addresses of sources to   include or exclude depending on the filter mode.   If the implementation imposes a limit on the maximum number of   sources in a source filter, ENOBUFS is generated when the operation   would exceed the maximum.4.2.2.  Get Source Filter     #include <netinet/in.h>     int getipv4sourcefilter(int s, struct in_addr interface,                             struct in_addr group, uint32_t *fmode,                             uint32_t *numsrc, struct in_addr *slist);   On success the value 0 is returned, and on failure, the value -1 is   returned and errno is set accordingly.   The s argument identifies the socket.   The interface argument holds the local IP address of the interface.   The group argument holds the IP multicast address of the group.   The fmode argument points to an integer that will contain the filter   mode on a successful return.  The value of this field will be either   MCAST_INCLUDE or MCAST_EXCLUDE, which are likewise defined in   <netinet/in.h>.   On input, the numsrc argument holds the number of source addresses   that will fit in the slist array.  On output, the numsrc argument   will hold the total number of sources in the filter.   The slist argument points to buffer into which an array of IP   addresses of included or excluded (depending on the filter mode)   sources will be written.  If numsrc was 0 on input, a NULL pointer   may be supplied.Thaler, et al.               Informational                      [Page 9]

RFC 3678              Multicast Source Filter API           January 2004   If the application does not know the size of the source list   beforehand, it can make a reasonable guess (e.g., 0), and if upon   completion, numsrc holds a larger value, the operation can be   repeated with a large enough buffer.   That is, on return, numsrc is always updated to be the total number   of sources in the filter, while slist will hold as many source   addresses as fit, up to the minimum of the array size passed in as   the original numsrc value and the total number of sources in the   filter.5.  Protocol-Independent Multicast Source Filter APIs   Protocol-independent functions are provided for join and leave   operations so that an application may pass a sockaddr_storage   structure obtained from calls such as getaddrinfo() [1] as the group   to join.  For example, an application can resolve a DNS name (e.g.,   NTP.MCAST.NET) to a multicast address which may be either IPv4 or   IPv6, and may easily join and leave the group.5.1.  Basic (Delta-based) API   The reception of multicast packets is controlled by the setsockopt()   options summarized below.  An error of EOPNOTSUPP is returned if   these options are used with getsockopt().   The following structures are used by both the Any-Source Multicast   and the Source-Specific Multicast API:  #include <netinet/in.h>   struct group_req {      uint32_t                gr_interface; /* interface index */      struct sockaddr_storage gr_group;     /* group address */   };   struct group_source_req {      uint32_t                gsr_interface; /* interface index */      struct sockaddr_storage gsr_group;     /* group address */      struct sockaddr_storage gsr_source;    /* source address */   };   The sockaddr_storage structure is defined inRFC 3493 [1] to be large   enough to hold either IPv4 or IPv6 address information.   The rules for generating errors are the same as those given inSection 5.1.3.Thaler, et al.               Informational                     [Page 10]

RFC 3678              Multicast Source Filter API           January 20045.1.1.  Any-Source Multicast API   Socket option               Argument type   MCAST_JOIN_GROUP            struct group_req   MCAST_BLOCK_SOURCE          struct group_source_req   MCAST_UNBLOCK_SOURCE        struct group_source_req   MCAST_LEAVE_GROUP           struct group_req   MCAST_JOIN_GROUP and MCAST_LEAVE_GROUP are used to join and leave an   any-source group.   MCAST_BLOCK_SOURCE can be used to block data from a given source to a   given group (e.g., if the user "mutes" that source), and   MCAST_UNBLOCK_SOURCE can be used to undo this (e.g., if the user then   "unmutes" the source).5.1.2.  Source-Specific Multicast API   Socket option               Argument type   MCAST_JOIN_SOURCE_GROUP     struct group_source_req   MCAST_LEAVE_SOURCE_GROUP    struct group_source_req   MCAST_LEAVE_GROUP           struct group_req   MCAST_JOIN_SOURCE_GROUP and MCAST_LEAVE_SOURCE_GROUP are used to join   and leave a source-specific group.   MCAST_LEAVE_GROUP is supported, as a convenience, to drop all sources   which have been joined for a particular group and interface.  The   operations are the same as if the socket had been closed.5.2.  Advanced (Full-state) API   Implementations may exist that use ioctl() for this API, and for   historical purposes, the ioctl() API is documented inAppendix A.   The preferred API uses the new functions described below.5.2.1.  Set Source Filter     #include <netinet/in.h>     int setsourcefilter(int s, uint32_t interface,                         struct sockaddr *group, socklen_t grouplen,                         uint32_t fmode, uint_t numsrc,                         struct sockaddr_storage *slist);   On success the value 0 is returned, and on failure, the value -1 is   returned and errno is set accordingly.Thaler, et al.

RFC 3678              Multicast Source Filter API           January 2004   The s argument identifies the socket.   The interface argument holds the interface index of the interface.   The group argument points to either a sockaddr_in structure (for   IPv4) or a sockaddr_in6 structure (for IPv6) that holds the IP   multicast address of the group.   The grouplen argument gives the length of the sockaddr_in or   sockaddr_in6 structure.   The fmode argument identifies the filter mode.  The value of this   field must be either MCAST_INCLUDE or MCAST_EXCLUDE, which are   likewise defined in <netinet/in.h>.   The numsrc argument holds the number of source addresses in the slist   array.   The slist argument points to an array of IP addresses of sources to   include or exclude depending on the filter mode.   If the implementation imposes a limit on the maximum number of   sources in a source filter, ENOBUFS is generated when the operation   would exceed the maximum.5.2.2.  Get Source Filter     #include <netinet/in.h>     int getsourcefilter(int s, uint32_t interface,                         struct sockaddr *group, socklen_t grouplen,                         uint32_t fmode, uint_t *numsrc,                         struct sockaddr_storage *slist);   On success the value 0 is returned, and on failure, the value -1 is   returned and errno is set accordingly.   The s argument identifies the socket.   The interface argument holds the local IP address of the interface.   The group argument points to either a sockaddr_in structure (for   IPv4) or a sockaddr_in6 structure (for IPv6) that holds the IP   multicast address of the group.Thaler, et al.

RFC 3678              Multicast Source Filter API           January 2004   The fmode argument points to an integer that will contain the filter   mode on a successful return.  The value of this field will be either   MCAST_INCLUDE or MCAST_EXCLUDE, which are likewise defined in   <netinet/in.h>.   On input, the numsrc argument holds the number of source addresses   that will fit in the slist array.  On output, the numsrc argument   will hold the total number of sources in the filter.   The slist argument points to buffer into which an array of IP   addresses of included or excluded (depending on the filter mode)   sources will be written.  If numsrc was 0 on input, a NULL pointer   may be supplied.   If the application does not know the size of the source list   beforehand, it can make a reasonable guess (e.g., 0), and if upon   completion, numsrc holds a larger value, the operation can be   repeated with a large enough buffer.   That is, on return, numsrc is always updated to be the total number   of sources in the filter, while slist will hold as many source   addresses as fit, up to the minimum of the array size passed in as   the original numsrc value and the total number of sources in the   filter.6.  Security Considerations   Although source filtering can help to combat denial-of-service   attacks, source filtering alone is not a complete solution, since it   does not provide protection against spoofing the source address to be   an allowed source.  Multicast routing protocols which use reverse-   path forwarding based on the source address, however, do provide some   natural protection against spoofing the source address, since if a   router receives a packet on an interface other than the one toward   the "real" source, it will drop the packet.  However, this still does   not provide any guarantee of protection.7.

RFC 3678              Multicast Source Filter API           January 20048.Appendix A: Use of ioctl() for full-state operations   The API defined here is historic, but is documented here for   informational purposes since it is implemented by multiple platforms.   The new functions defined earlier in this document should now be used   instead.   Retrieving the source filter for a given group cannot be done with   getsockopt() on some existing platforms, since the group and   interface must be passed down in order to retrieve the correct   filter, and getsockopt only supports an output buffer.  This can,   however, be done with an ioctl(), and hence for symmetry, both gets   and sets are done with an ioctl.8.1.  IPv4 Options   The following are defined in <sys/sockio.h>:      o  ioctl() SIOCGIPMSFILTER: to retrieve the list of source         addresses that comprise the source filter along with the         current filter mode.      o  ioctl() SIOCSIPMSFILTER: to set or modify the source filter         content (e.g., unicast source address list) or mode (exclude or         include).Ioctl option                  Argument typeSIOCGIPMSFILTER               struct ip_msfilterSIOCSIPMSFILTER               struct ip_msfilterstruct ip_msfilter {   struct in_addr imsf_multiaddr;  /* IP multicast address of group */   struct in_addr imsf_interface;  /* local IP address of interface */   uint32_t       imsf_fmode;      /* filter mode */   uint32_t       imsf_numsrc;     /* number of sources in src_list */   struct in_addr imsf_slist[1];   /* start of source list */};#define IP_MSFILTER_SIZE(numsrc) \   (sizeof(struct ip_msfilter) - sizeof(struct in_addr) \   + (numsrc) * sizeof(struct in_addr))   The imsf_fmode mode is a 32-bit integer that identifies the filter   mode.  The value of this field must be either MCAST_INCLUDE or   MCAST_EXCLUDE, which are likewise defined in <netinet/in.h>.Thaler, et al.               Informational                     [Page 14]

RFC 3678              Multicast Source Filter API           January 2004   The structure length pointed to must be at least IP_MSFILTER_SIZE(0)   bytes long, and the imsf_numsrc parameter should be set so that   IP_MSFILTER_SIZE(imsf_numsrc) indicates the buffer length.   If the implementation imposes a limit on the maximum number of   sources in a source filter, ENOBUFS is generated when a set operation   would exceed the maximum.   The result of a get operation (SIOCGIPMSFILTER) will be that the   imsf_multiaddr and imsf_interface fields will be unchanged, while   imsf_fmode, imsf_numsrc, and as many source addresses as fit will be   filled into the application's buffer.   If the application does not know the size of the source list   beforehand, it can make a reasonable guess (e.g., 0), and if upon   completion, the imsf_numsrc field holds a larger value, the operation   can be repeated with a large enough buffer.   That is, on return from SIOCGIPMSFILTER, imsf_numsrc is always   updated to be the total number of sources in the filter, while   imsf_slist will hold as many source addresses as fit, up to the   minimum of the array size passed in as the original imsf_numsrc value   and the total number of sources in the filter.8.2.  Protocol-Independent Options   The following are defined in <sys/sockio.h>:      o  ioctl() SIOCGMSFILTER: to retrieve the list of source addresses         that comprise the source filter along with the current filter         mode.      o  ioctl() SIOCSMSFILTER: to set or modify the source filter         content (e.g., unicast source address list) or mode (exclude or         include).   Ioctl option                 Argument type   SIOCGMSFILTER                struct group_filter   SIOCSMSFILTER                struct group_filter   struct group_filter {      uint32_t                gf_interface; /* interface index */      struct sockaddr_storage gf_group;     /* multicast address */      uint32_t                gf_fmode;     /* filter mode */      uint32_t                gf_numsrc;    /* number of sources */      struct sockaddr_storage gf_slist[1];  /* source address */   };Thaler, et al.
