RFC 4957                L2 Notifications for DNA             August 20071.  Introduction   It is not an uncommon occurrence for a node to change its point of   attachment to the network.  This can happen due to mobile usage   (e.g., a mobile phone moving among base stations) or nomadic usage   (e.g., road-warrior case).   A node changing its point of attachment to the network may end up   changing its IP subnet and therefore require reconfiguration of IP-   layer parameters, such as IP address, default gateway information,   and DNS server address.  Detecting the subnet change can usually use   network-layer indications (such as a change in the advertised   prefixes for IPv6).  But such indications may not be always available   (e.g., Detecting Network Attachment in IPv6 (DNAv6)) to the node upon   changing its point of attachment.   Link-layer event notifications can help IP expeditiously detect   configuration changes.  This document provides a non-exhaustive   catalog of information available from some access technologies, and   discusses the interpretation of this information at the IP layer.   This document is not intended to specify or change the behavior of   these access technologies in any manner.   Additional information can be conveyed along with the event, such as   the identifier of the network attachment point (e.g., IEEE 802.11   Basic Service Set Identification (BSSID) and Service Set Identifier   (SSID)), or network-layer configuration parameters obtained via the   link-layer attachment process if available.  It is envisaged that   such event notifications can in certain circumstances be used to   expedite the inter-subnet movement detection and reconfiguration   process.  For example, the notification indicating that the node has   established a new link-layer connection may be used for immediately   probing the network for a possible configuration change.  In the   absence of such a notification from the link layer, IP has to wait   for indications that are not immediately available, such as receipt   of the next scheduled router advertisement, unreachability of the   default gateway, etc.   It should be noted that a link-layer event notification does not   always translate into a subnet change.  Even if the node has torn   down a link-layer connection with one attachment point and   established a new connection with another, it may still be attached   to the same IP subnet.  For example, several IEEE 802.11 access   points can be attached to the same IP subnet.  Moving among these   access points does not warrant any IP-layer configuration change.Krishnan, et al.             Informational                      [Page 3]

RFC 4957                L2 Notifications for DNA             August 2007   In order to enable an enhanced scheme for detecting change of subnet,   we need to define link-layer event notifications that can be   realistically expected from various access technologies.  The   objective of this document is to provide a catalogue of link-layer   events and notifications in various architectures.  While this   document mentions the utility of this information for detecting   change of subnet (or, detecting network attachment - DNA), the   detailed usage is left to other documents, namely, DNA solution   specifications.   The document limits itself to the minimum set of information that is   necessary for solving the DNA problem [RFC4135].  A broader set of   information (e.g., signal strength, packet loss, etc.) and events   (e.g. link down) may be used for other problem spaces, such as   anticipation-based Mobile IP fast handovers [RFC4881], [RFC4068],   etc.   These event notifications are considered with hosts in mind, although   they may also be available on the network side (e.g., on the access   points and routers).  An API or protocol-based standard interface may   be defined between the link layer and IP for conveying this   information.  That activity is beyond the scope of this document.2.  Terminology   Link: is a communication facility or medium over which network nodes   can communicate.  Each link is associated with a minimum of two   endpoints.  An "attachment point" is the link endpoint on the link to   which the node is currently connected, such as an access point, a   base station, or a wired switch.   Link up: is an event provided by the link layer that signifies a   state change associated with the interface becoming capable of   communicating data packets.  This event is associated with a link-   layer connection between the node and an attachment point.

RFC 4957                L2 Notifications for DNA             August 20073.  Link-Layer Event Notifications   Link-layer event notifications are considered to be one of the inputs   to the DNA process.  A DNA process is likely to take other inputs   (e.g., presence of advertised prefixes, reachability of default   gateways) before determining whether IP-layer configuration must be   updated.  It is expected that the DNA process can take advantage of   link-layer notifications when they are made available to IP.  While   by itself a link-layer notification may not constitute all the input   DNA needs, it can at least be useful for prompting the DNA process to   collect further information (i.e., other inputs to the process).  For   example, the node may send a router solicitation as soon as it learns   that a new link-layer connection is established.   The link-layer event that is considered most useful to DNA process is   the link up event.  The associated notifications can be provided to   the IP-layer after the event concludes successfully.  The link up   events and notifications are associated with a network interface on   the node.  The IP module may receive simultaneous independent   notifications from each one of the network interfaces on the node.   The actual event is managed by the link layer of the node through   execution of link-layer protocols and mechanisms.  Once the event   successfully completes within the link layer, its notification is   delivered to the IP-layer.  By the time the notification is   delivered, the link layer of the node must be ready to accept IP   packets from the IP and the physical layers.  Each time an interface   changes its point of attachment, a link up event should be generated.   There is a non-deterministic usage of the link up notification to   accommodate implementations that desire to indicate the link is up,   but the data transmission may be blocked in the network (see IEEE   802.3 discussion).  A link up notification may be generated with an   appropriate attribute, conveying its non-deterministic nature, to   convey the event.  Alternatively, the link-layer implementation may   choose to delay the link up notification until the risk conditions   cease to exist.   If a non-deterministic link up was generated, another link up must   follow as soon as the link layer is capable of generating a   deterministic notification.  The event attributes may indicate   whether the packets transmitted since the previous notification were   presumed to be blocked or allowed by the network, if the link layer   could determine the exact conditions.Krishnan, et al.             Informational                      [Page 5]

RFC 4957                L2 Notifications for DNA             August 2007   The deterministic link up event following a non-deterministic link up   event can be treated differently by consumers of the link up event.   For example, the second link up event need not trigger a confirmation   process, if the first one already did.   A node may have to change its IP-layer configuration even when the   link-layer connection stays the same.  An example scenario is the   IPv6 subnet renumbering [RFC2461].  Therefore, there exist cases   where IP-layer configuration may have to change even without the IP   layer receiving a link up notification.  Therefore, a link-layer   notification is not a mandatory indication of a subnet change.   A link up notification may optionally deliver information relating to   the attachment point.  Such auxiliary information may include the   identity of the attachment point (e.g., base station identifier), or   the IP-layer configuration parameters associated with the attached   subnet (e.g., subnet prefix, default gateway address, etc.).  While   merely knowing that a new link-layer connection is established may   prompt the DNA process to immediately seek other clues for detecting   a network configuration change, auxiliary information may constitute   further clues (and even the final answers sometimes).  In cases where   there is a one-to-one mapping between the attachment point   identifiers and the IP-layer configurations, learning the former can   reveal the latter.  Furthermore, IP-layer configuration parameters   obtained during the link-layer connection may be exactly what the DNA   process is trying to discover.   The link-layer process leading to a link up event depend on the link   technology.  While a link-layer notification must always indicate   that the link up event occurred, the availability and types of   auxiliary information on the attachment point depends on the link-   layer technology as well.  The following subsections examine four   link-layer technologies and describe when a link-layer notification   is generated and what information is included in it.3.1.  GPRS/3GPP   GSM Packet Radio System (GPRS) provides packet-switched data   transmission over a cellular network [GPRS][GPRS-LINK].   The GPRS architecture consists of a Radio Access Network and a packet   domain Core Network.   -  The GPRS Radio Access Network is composed of Mobile Terminals      (MTs), a Base Station Subsystem and Serving GPRS Support Nodes      (SGSNs).Krishnan, et al.             Informational                      [Page 6]

RFC 4957                L2 Notifications for DNA             August 2007   -  An IP Core Network that acts as the transport backbone of user      datagrams between SGSNs and Gateway GPRS Support Nodes (GGSNs).      The GGSN ensures the GPRS IP core network connectivity with      external networks, such as the Internet or Local Area Networks.      The GGSN acts as the default IP gateway for the MT.   A GPRS MT that wants to establish IP connectivity establishes first a   connection to the GPRS network and one or more PDP Context   associations between the MT and the GGSN.  It is only after the PDP   Context has been established and after address autoconfiguration and   tunneling mechanism have taken place that the MT's IP packets can be   forwarded to and from its remote IP peers.  The aim of PDP Context   establishment is also to provide IP-level configuration on top of the   GPRS link-layer attachment.   Successful establishment of a PDP Context on a GPRS link signifies   the availability of IP service to the MT.  Therefore, this link-layer   event generates a link up event notification sent to the IP layer.   An MT may establish a secondary PDP Context while reusing the IP   configuration acquired from a previously established and active PDP   Context.  Such a secondary PDP Context does not provide additional   information to the IP layer and only allows another quality-of-   service (QoS) profile to be used.  The activation of such a secondary   PDP context does not usually generate a link up event since it does   not require new IP parameters.  However, other additional PDP Context   activations are to be treated as indicated earlier.   With IPv4, the auxiliary information carried along with this   notification is the IPv4 address of the MT that is obtained as part   of the PDP Context.  With IPv6, the PDP Context activation response   does not come along with a usable IPv6 address.  Effectively, the   IPv6 address received from the GGSN in the PDP address field of the   message does not contain a valid prefix.  The MN actually only uses   the interface identifier extracted from that field to form a link-   local address that it uses afterwards to obtain a valid prefix (e.g.,   by stateless [RFC2462][GPRS-CN] or stateful [RFC3315] [GPRS-GSSA]   address configuration).  Therefore, no IPv6-related auxiliary   information is provided to the IP layer.3.2.  cdma2000/3GPP2   cdma2000-based 3GPP2 packet data services provide mobile users wide   area high-speed access to packet switched networks [CDMA2K].  Some of   the major components of the 3GPP2 packet network architecture consist   of:Krishnan, et al.             Informational                      [Page 7]

RFC 4957                L2 Notifications for DNA             August 2007   -  Mobile Station (MS), which allows mobile access to packet-switched      networks over a wireless connection.   -  Radio Access Network, which consists of the Base Station      Transceivers, Base Station Controllers, and the Packet Control      Function.   -  Network Access Server known as the Packet Data Switching Node      (PDSN).  The PDSN also serves as default IP gateway for the IP MS.   3GPP2 networks use the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP [RFC1661]) as the   link-layer protocol between the MS and the PDSN.  Before any IP   packets may be sent or received, PPP must reach the Network-Layer   Protocol phase, and the IP Control Protocol (IPCP [RFC1332], IPV6CP   [RFC2472]) must reach the Opened state.  When these states are   reached in PPP, a link up event notification is delivered to the IP   layer.   When the PPP is used for 3GPP2 Simple (i.e., non-Mobile) IPv4   Service, IPCP enables configuration of an IPv4 address on the MS.   This IPv4 address is provided as the auxiliary information along with   the link up notification.  IPV6CP used for Simple IPv6 service does   not provide an IPv6 address, but the interface identifiers for local   and remote endpoints of the PPP link.  Since there is no standards-   mandated correlation between the interface identifier and other IP-   layer configuration parameters, this information is deemed not useful   for DNA (nevertheless, it may be provided as auxiliary information   for other uses).3.3.  IEEE 802.11/WiFi   IEEE 802.11-based WiFi networks are the wireless extension of the   Local Area Networks.  Currently available standards are IEEE 802.11b   [IEEE-802.11b], IEEE 802.11g [IEEE-802.11g], and IEEE 802.11a   [IEEE-802.11a].  The specifications define both the MAC layer and the   physical layer.  The MAC layer is the same for all these   technologies.   Two operating modes are available in the IEEE 802.11 series, either   infrastructure mode or ad-hoc mode.  In infrastructure mode, all   link-layer frames are transmitted to an access point (AP) that then   forwards them to the final receiver.  A station (STA) establishes an   IEEE 802.11 association with an AP in order to send and receive IP   packets.  In a WiFi network that uses Robust Secure Network (RSN   [IEEE-802.11i]), successful completion of the 4-way handshake between   the STA and AP commences the availability of IP service.  The link upKrishnan, et al.             Informational                      [Page 8]

RFC 4957                L2 Notifications for DNA             August 2007   event notification is generated upon this event.  In non-RSN-based   networks, successful association or re-association events on the link   layer causes a link up notification sent to the IP layer.   As part of the link establishment, the STA learns the BSSID and SSID   associated with the AP.  The BSSID is a unique identifier of the AP,   usually set to the MAC address of the wireless interface of the AP.   The SSID carries the identifier of the Extended Service Set (ESS) --   the set composed of APs and associated STAs that share a common   distribution system.  The BSSID and SSID may be provided as auxiliary   information along with the link up notification.  Unfortunately, this   information does not provide a deterministic indication of whether   the IP-layer configuration must be changed upon movement.  There is   no standards-mandated one-to-one relation between the BSSID/SSID   pairs and IP subnets.  An AP with a given BSSID can connect a STA to   any one of multiple IP subnets.  Similarly, an ESS with the given   SSID may span multiple IP subnets.  And finally, the SSIDs are not   globally unique.  The same SSID may be used by multiple independent   ESSs.  Nevertheless, BSSID/SSID information may be used in a   probabilistic way by the DNA process; hence, it is provided with the   link up event notification.   In ad-hoc mode, mobile stations (STA) in range may directly   communicate with each other, i.e., without any infrastructure or   intermediate hop.  The set of communicating STAs is called IBSS for   Independent Basic Service Set.  In an IBSS, only STA services are   available, i.e., authentication, deauthentication, privacy, and MAC   Service Data Unit (MSDU) delivery.  STAs do not associate with each   other, and therefore may exchange data frames in state 2   (authenticated and not associated) or even in state 1   (unauthenticated and unassociated) if the Distribution System is not   used (i.e., "To DS" and "From DS" bits are clear).  If authentication   is performed, a link up indication can be generated upon   authentication.  Concerning the link layer identification, both the   BSSID (which is a random MAC address chosen by a STA of the IBSS) and   SSID may be used to identify a link, but not to make any assumptions   on the IP network configuration.3.4.  IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD   IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD (commonly referred to as Ethernet) is the most   commonly deployed Local Area Network technology in use today.  As   deployed today, it is specified by a physical layer/medium access   control (MAC) layer specification [IEEE-802.3].  In order to provide   connection of different LANs together into a larger network, 802.3   LANs are often bridged together [IEEE-802.1D].Krishnan, et al.             Informational                      [Page 9]

RFC 4957                L2 Notifications for DNA             August 2007   In this section, the terms 802.3 and Ethernet are used   interchangeably.  This section describes some issues in providing   link-layer indications on Ethernet networks, and shows how bridging   affects these indications.   In Ethernet networks, hosts are connected by wires or by optic fibre   to a switch (bridge), a bus (e.g., coaxial cable), a repeater (hub),   or directly to another Ethernet device.  Interfaces are symmetric, in   that while many different physical layers may be present, medium   access control is uniform for all devices.   In order to determine whether the physical medium is ready for frame   transfer, IEEE 802.3 Ethernet specifies its own link monitoring   mechanism, which is defined for some, but not all, classes of media.   Where available, this Link Integrity Test operation is used to   identify when packets are able to be received on an Ethernet segment.   It is applicable to both wired and optical physical layers, although   details vary between technologies (link pulses in twisted pair   copper, light levels in fibre).3.4.1.  Link Integrity Tests in 802.3 Networks   Link Integrity Tests in 802.3 networks typically occur at initial   physical connection time (for example, at the auto-negotiation stage)   and periodically afterwards.  They make use of physical-layer   specific operations to determine if a medium is able to support link-   layer frames [IEEE-802.3].   The status of the link as determined by the Link Integrity Test is   stored in the variable 'link_status'.  Changes to the value of   link_status (for example due to Link Integrity Test failure) will   generate link indications if the technology-dependent interface is   implemented on an Ethernet device [IEEE-802.3].   The link_status has possible values of FAIL, READY, and OK.  In FAIL   state, Link Integrity Tests have failed.  In READY state, the link   segment has passed integrity tests, but auto-negotiation has not   completed.  In OK state, the medium is able to send and receive   packets.   Upon transition to a particular state, the Physical Medium Attachment   subsystems generates a PMA_LINK.indicate(link_status).  Indications   of OK state may be used to generate a link up event notification.   These indications do not definitively ensure that packets will be   able to be received through the bridge domain, though (see the next   section).  Such operations are governed by bridging.Krishnan, et al.             Informational                     [Page 10]

RFC 4957                L2 Notifications for DNA             August 20073.4.2.  IEEE 802.1D Bridging and Its Effects on Link-layer Event        Notifications   Ethernet networks commonly consist of LANs joined together by   transparent bridges (usually implemented as switches).  Transparent   bridges require the active topology to be loop free.  This is   achieved through the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) or the Rapid   Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP).  These protocols exchange Bridge   Protocol Data Units (BPDUs), as defined in [IEEE-802.1D]; this leads   to the blocking of ports (i.e., not forwarding), where required.   By default, the spanning tree protocol does not know whether a   particular newly connected piece of Ethernet will cause a loop.   Therefore, it will block all traffic from and to newly connected   ports with the exception of some unbridged management frames.  The   STP will determine if the port can be connected to the network in a   loop-free manner.   For these technologies, even though the link layer appears available,   no data packet forwarding will occur until it is determined that the   port can be connected to the network in a loop-free environment.   For hosts that are providing indications to upper-layer protocols,   even if the host itself does not implement bridging or STP, packet   delivery across the network can be affected by the presence of   bridges.   A host connected to a bridge port does not receive any explicit   indication that the bridge has started forwarding packets.   Therefore, a host may not know when STP operations have completed, or   when it is safe to inform upper layers to transmit packets.   Where it is not known that forwarding operations are available, a   host should assume that RSTP or STP is being performed.  Hosts may   listen to STP/RSTP and 802.1AB messages to gain further information   about the timing of full connectivity on the link, for example, to   override an existing indication.   Notably, though, it is not easy for a host to distinguish between   disabled bridge ports and non-bridge ports with no active   transmitters on them, as Disabled ports will have no traffic on them,   and incur 100% sender loss.   If no bridge configuration messages are received within the   Bridge_Max_Age interval (default 20s) then it is likely that there is   no visible bridge whose port is enabled for bridging (S8.4.5 of   [IEEE-802.1D]), since at least two BPDU hello messages would haveKrishnan, et al.

RFC 4957                L2 Notifications for DNA             August 2007   been lost.  Upon this timeout, a link up notification is generated,   if one has not been already.   If a BPDU is received, and the adjacent bridge is running the   original Spanning Tree Protocol, then a host cannot successfully send   packets until at least twice the ForwardDelay value in the received   BPDU has elapsed.  After this time, a link up notification is   generated.  If the previous link up notification was non-   deterministic, then this notification includes an attribute   signifying that the packets sent within the prior interval were lost.   If the bridge is identified as performing Rapid Spanning Tree   Protocol (RSTP), it instead waits Bridge_Max_Age after packet   reception (advertised in the BPDU's Max Age field), before   forwarding.  For ports which are known to be point-to-point through   auto-negotiation, this delay is abbreviated to 3 seconds after auto-   negotiation completes [IEEE-802.1D].3.4.3.  802.1AB Link-Layer Discovery Protocol   The recently defined 802.1AB Link-Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)   provides information to devices that are directly adjacent to them on   the local LAN [IEEE-802.1ab].   LLDP sends information periodically and at link status change time to   indicate the configuration parameters of the device.  Devices may   send or receive these messages, or do both.   The LLDP message may contain a System Capabilities TLV, which   describes the MAC- and IP-layer functions that a device is currently   using.  Where a host receives the System Capabilities TLV indicating   that no Bridging is occurring on the LLDP transmitter, no delays for   STP calculation will be applied to packets sent through this   transmitter.  This would allow the generation of a link up   notification.   Additionally, if a host receives a System Capabilities TLV indicating   that the LLDP transmitter is a bridge, the host's advertisement that   it is an (end-host) Station-Only may tell the bridge not to run STP   and may immediately allow forwarding.   Proprietary extensions may also indicate that data forwarding is   already available on such a port.  Discussion of such optimizations   is out of scope for this document.   Because the protocol is new and not widely deployed, it is unclear   how this protocol will eventually affect DNA in IPv4 or IPv6   networks.Krishnan, et al.

RFC 4957                L2 Notifications for DNA             August 20073.4.4.  Other Heuristics   In 802.3 networks, Network Interface Cards (NICs) are often capable   of returning a speed and duplex indication to the host.  Changes in   these characteristics may indicate a connection to a new layer 2   network.3.4.5.  Summary   Link-layer indications in Ethernet-like networks are complicated by   additional unadvertised delays due to spanning tree calculations.   This may cause re-indication or retraction of indications previously   sent to upper layer protocols.4.  Security Considerations   Attackers may spoof various indications at the link layer, or   manipulate the physical medium directly in an effort to confuse the   host about the state of the link layer.  For instance, attackers may   spoof error messages or disturb the wireless medium to cause the host   to move its connection elsewhere or even to disconnect.  Attackers   may also spoof information to make the host believe it has a   connection when, in reality, it does not.  In addition, wireless   networks such as 802.11 are susceptible to an attack called the "Evil   Twin" attack where an attacker sets up an Access Point with the same   SSID as a legitimate one and gets the use to connect to the fake   access point instead of the real one.  These attacks may cause use of   non-preferred networks or even denial of service.   This specification does not provide any protection of its own for the   indications from the lower layers.  But the vulnerabilities can be   mitigated through the use of techniques in other parts of the   protocol stack.  In particular, it is recommended that   authentication, replay, and integrity protection of link-layer   management messages are enabled when available.  For example, the   IEEE 802.1ae standard [IEEE-802.1ae] defines such mechanisms for IEEE   802-compliant MAC layers.  Additionally, the protocol stack may also   use some network-layer mechanisms to achieve partial protection.  For   instance, SEND [RFC3971] could be used to confirm secure reachability   with a router.  However, network layer mechanisms are unable to deal   with all problems, such as insecure lower-layer notifications that   lead to the link not functioning properly.Krishnan, et al.
