This GRE-in-UDP encapsulation   allows the UDP source port field to be used as an entropy field.   This may be used for load-balancing of GRE traffic in transit   networks using existing Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP) mechanisms.   There are two applicability scenarios for GRE-in-UDP with different   requirements: (1) general Internet and (2) a traffic-managed   controlled environment.  The controlled environment has less   restrictive requirements than the general Internet.Status of This Memo   This is an Internet Standards Track document.

RFC 8086                GRE-in-UDP Encapsulation              March 20171.  Introduction   This document specifies a generic GRE-in-UDP encapsulation for   tunneling network protocol packets across an IP network based on   Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) [RFC2784] [RFC7676] and User   Datagram Protocol (UDP) [RFC768] headers.  The GRE header indicates   the payload protocol type via an EtherType [RFC7042] in the protocol   type field, and the source port field in the UDP header may be used   to provide additional entropy.   A GRE-in-UDP tunnel offers the possibility of better performance for   load-balancing GRE traffic in transit networks using existing Equal-   Cost Multipath (ECMP) mechanisms that use a hash of the five-tuple of   source IP address, destination IP address, UDP/TCP source port,   UDP/TCP destination port, and protocol number.  While such hashing   distributes UDP and TCP [RFC793] traffic between a common pair of IP   addresses across paths, it uses a single path for corresponding GRE   traffic because only the two IP addresses and the Protocol or Next   Header field participate in the ECMP hash.  Encapsulating GRE in UDP   enables use of the UDP source port to provide entropy to ECMP   hashing.   In addition, GRE-in-UDP enables extending use of GRE across networks   that otherwise disallow it; for example, GRE-in-UDP may be used to   bridge two islands where GRE is not supported natively across the   middleboxes.   GRE-in-UDP encapsulation may be used to encapsulate already tunneled   traffic, i.e., tunnel-in-tunnel traffic.  In this case, GRE-in-UDP   tunnels treat the endpoints of the outer tunnel as the end hosts; the   presence of an inner tunnel does not change the outer tunnel's   handling of network traffic.   A GRE-in-UDP tunnel is capable of carrying arbitrary traffic and   behaves as a UDP application on an IP network.  However, a GRE-in-UDP   tunnel carrying certain types of traffic does not satisfy the   requirements for UDP applications on the Internet [RFC8085].   GRE-in-UDP tunnels that do not satisfy these requirements MUST NOT be   deployed to carry such traffic over the Internet.  For this reason,   this document specifies two deployment scenarios for GRE-in-UDP   tunnels with GRE-in-UDP tunnel requirements for each of them: (1)   general Internet and (2) a traffic-managed controlled environment   (TMCE).  Compared to the general Internet scenario, the TMCE scenario   has less restrictive technical requirements for the protocol but more   restrictive management and operation requirements for the network.Yong, et al.                 Standards Track                    [Page 4]

RFC 8086                GRE-in-UDP Encapsulation              March 2017   To provide security for traffic carried by a GRE-in-UDP tunnel, this   document also specifies Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) for   GRE-in-UDP tunnels, which SHOULD be used when security is a concern.   GRE-in-UDP encapsulation usage requires no changes to the transit IP   network.  ECMP hash functions in most existing IP routers may utilize   and benefit from the additional entropy enabled by GRE-in-UDP tunnels   without any change or upgrade to their ECMP implementation.  The   encapsulation mechanism is applicable to a variety of IP networks   including Data Center Networks and Wide Area Networks, as well as   both IPv4 and IPv6 networks.1.1.  Terminology   The terms defined in [RFC768] and [RFC2784] are used in this   document.  Below are additional terms used in this document.   Decapsulator: a component performing packet decapsulation at tunnel   egress.   ECMP: Equal-Cost Multipath.   Encapsulator: a component performing packet encapsulation at tunnel   egress.   Flow Entropy: The information to be derived from traffic or   applications and to be used by network devices in the ECMP process   [RFC6438].   Default GRE-in-UDP Tunnel: A GRE-in-UDP tunnel that can apply to the   general Internet.   TMCE: A traffic-managed controlled environment, i.e., an IP network   that is traffic-engineered and/or otherwise managed (e.g., via use of   traffic rate limiters) to avoid congestion, as defined inSection 2.   TMCE GRE-in-UDP Tunnel: A GRE-in-UDP tunnel that can only apply to a   traffic-managed controlled environment that is defined inSection 2.   Tunnel Egress: A tunnel endpoint that performs packet decapsulation.   Tunnel Ingress: A tunnel endpoint that performs packet encapsulation.1.2.  Requirements Language   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].Yong, et al.                 Standards Track                    [Page 5]

RFC 8086                GRE-in-UDP Encapsulation              March 20172.  Applicability Statement   GRE-in-UDP encapsulation applies to IPv4 and IPv6 networks; in both   cases, encapsulated packets are treated as UDP datagrams.  Therefore,   a GRE-in-UDP tunnel needs to meet the UDP usage requirements   specified in [RFC8085].  These requirements depend on both the   delivery network and the nature of the encapsulated traffic.  For   example, the GRE-in-UDP tunnel protocol does not provide any   congestion control functionality beyond that of the encapsulated   traffic.  Therefore, a GRE-in-UDP tunnel MUST be used only with   congestion-controlled traffic (e.g., IP unicast traffic) and/or   within a network that is traffic managed to avoid congestion.   [RFC8085] describes two applicability scenarios for UDP applications:   (1) general internet and (2) a controlled environment.  The   controlled environment means a single administrative domain or   bilaterally agreed connection between domains.  A network forming a   controlled environment can be managed/operated to meet certain   conditions, while the general Internet cannot be; thus, the   requirements for a tunnel protocol operating under a controlled   environment can be less restrictive than the requirements in the   general Internet.   For the purpose of this document, a traffic-managed controlled   environment (TMCE) is defined as an IP network that is traffic-   engineered and/or otherwise managed (e.g., via use of traffic rate   limiters) to avoid congestion.   This document specifies GRE-in-UDP tunnel usage in the general   Internet and GRE-in-UDP tunnel usage in a traffic-managed controlled   environment and uses "default GRE-in-UDP tunnel" and "TMCE GRE-in-UDP   tunnel" terms to refer to each usage.   NOTE: Although this document specifies two different sets of GRE-in-   UDP tunnel requirements based on tunnel usage, the tunnel   implementation itself has no ability to detect how and where it is   deployed.  Therefore, it is the responsibility of the user or   operator who deploys a GRE-in-UDP tunnel to ensure that it meets the   appropriate requirements.2.1.  GRE-in-UDP Tunnel Requirements   This section states the requirements for a GRE-in-UDP tunnel.Section 2.1.1 describes the requirements for a default GRE-in-UDP   tunnel that is suitable for the general Internet;Section 2.1.2   describes a set of relaxed requirements for a TMCE GRE-in-UDP tunnel   used in a traffic-managed controlled environment.  Both Sections   2.1.1 and 2.1.2 are applicable to an IPv4 or IPv6 delivery network.Yong, et al.                 Standards Track                    [Page 6]

RFC 8086                GRE-in-UDP Encapsulation              March 20172.1.1.  Requirements for Default GRE-in-UDP Tunnel   The following is a summary of the default GRE-in-UDP tunnel   requirements:   1.  A UDP checksum SHOULD be used when encapsulating in IPv4.   2.  A UDP checksum MUST be used when encapsulating in IPv6.   3.  GRE-in-UDP tunnel MUST NOT be deployed or configured to carry       traffic that is not congestion controlled.  As stated in       [RFC8085], IP-based unicast traffic is generally assumed to be       congestion controlled, i.e., it is assumed that the transport       protocols generating IP-based traffic at the sender already       employ mechanisms that are sufficient to address congestion on       the path.  A default GRE-in-UDP tunnel is not appropriate for       traffic that is not known to be congestion controlled (e.g., most       IP multicast traffic).   4.  UDP source port values that are used as a source of flow entropy       SHOULD be chosen from the ephemeral port range (49152-65535)       [RFC8085].   5.  The use of the UDP source port MUST be configurable so that a       single value can be set for all traffic within the tunnel (this       disables use of the UDP source port to provide flow entropy).       When a single value is set, a random port taken from the       ephemeral port range SHOULD be selected in order to minimize the       vulnerability to off-path attacks [RFC6056].   6.  For IPv6 delivery networks, the flow entropy SHOULD also be       placed in the flow label field for ECMP per [RFC6438].   7.  At the tunnel ingress, any fragmentation of the incoming packet       (e.g., because the tunnel has a Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)       that is smaller than the packet) SHOULD be performed before       encapsulation.  In addition, the tunnel ingress MUST apply the       UDP checksum to all encapsulated fragments so that the tunnel       egress can validate reassembly of the fragments; it MUST set the       same Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value as in the       Differentiated Services (DS) field of the payload packet in all       fragments [RFC2474].  To avoid unwanted forwarding over multiple       paths, the same source UDP port value SHOULD be set in all packet       fragments.Yong, et al.

RFC 8086                GRE-in-UDP Encapsulation              March 20172.1.2.  Requirements for TMCE GRE-in-UDP Tunnel   The section contains the TMCE GRE-in-UDP tunnel requirements.  It   lists the changed requirements, compared with a Default GRE-in-UDP   tunnel, for a TMCE GRE-in-UDP tunnel, which corresponds to   requirements 1-3 listed inSection 2.1.1.   1.  A UDP checksum SHOULD be used when encapsulating in IPv4.  A       tunnel endpoint sending GRE-in-UDP MAY disable the UDP checksum,       since GRE has been designed to work without a UDP checksum       [RFC2784].  However, a checksum also offers protection from       misdelivery to another port.   2.  Use of the UDP checksum MUST be the default when encapsulating in       IPv6.  This default MAY be overridden via configuration of UDP       zero-checksum mode.  All usage of UDP zero-checksum mode with       IPv6 is subject to the additional requirements specified inSection 6.2.   3.  A GRE-in-UDP tunnel MAY encapsulate traffic that is not       congestion controlled.   Requirements 4-7 listed inSection 2.1.1 also apply to a TMCE GRE-in-   UDP tunnel.Yong, et al.

RFC 8086                GRE-in-UDP Encapsulation              March 20173.1.  IP Header   An encapsulator MUST encode its own IP address as the source IP   address and the decapsulator's IP address as the destination IP   address.  A sufficiently large value is needed in the IPv4 TTL field   or IPv6 Hop Count field to allow delivery of the encapsulated packet   to the peer of the encapsulation.3.2.  UDP Header3.2.1.  Source Port   GRE-in-UDP permits the UDP source port value to be used to encode an   entropy value.  The UDP source port contains a 16-bit entropy value   that is generated by the encapsulator to identify a flow for the   encapsulated packet.  The port value SHOULD be within the ephemeral   port range, i.e., 49152 to 65535, where the high-order two bits of   the port are set to one.  This provides fourteen bits of entropy for   the inner flow identifier.  In the case that an encapsulator is   unable to derive flow entropy from the payload header or the entropy   usage has to be disabled to meet operational requirements (seeSection 7), to avoid reordering with a packet flow, the encapsulator   SHOULD use the same UDP source port value for all packets assigned to   a flow, e.g., the result of an algorithm that performs a hash of the   tunnel ingress and egress IP address.   The source port value for a flow set by an encapsulator MAY change   over the lifetime of the encapsulated flow.  For instance, an   encapsulator may change the assignment for Denial-of-Service (DoS)   mitigation or as a means to effect routing through the ECMP network.   An encapsulator SHOULD NOT change the source port selected for a flow   more than once every thirty seconds.   An IPv6 GRE-in-UDP tunnel endpoint SHOULD copy a flow entropy value   in the IPv6 flow label field (requirement 6).  This permits network   equipment to inspect this value and utilize it during forwarding,   e.g., to perform ECMP [RFC6438].   This document places requirements on the generation of the flow   entropy value [RFC8085] but does not specify the algorithm that an   implementation should use to derive this value.3.2.2.  Destination Port   The destination port of the UDP header is set to either GRE-in-UDP   (4754) or GRE-UDP-DTLS (4755); seeSection 5.Yong, et al.

RFC 8086                GRE-in-UDP Encapsulation              March 20173.2.3.  Checksum   The UDP checksum is set and processed per [RFC768] and [RFC1122] for   IPv4 and per [RFC2460] for IPv6.  Requirements for checksum handling   and use of zero UDP checksums are detailed inSection 6.3.2.4.  Length   The usage of this field is in accordance with the current UDP   specification in [RFC768].  This length will include the UDP header   (eight bytes), GRE header, and the GRE payload (encapsulated packet).3.3.  GRE Header   An encapsulator sets the protocol type (EtherType) of the packet   being encapsulated in the GRE Protocol Type field.   An encapsulator MAY set the GRE Key Present, Sequence Number Present,   and Checksum Present bits and associated fields in the GRE header as   defined by [RFC2784] and [RFC2890].  Usage of the reserved bits,   i.e., Reserved0, is specified in [RFC2784].   The GRE checksum MAY be enabled to protect the GRE header and   payload.  When the UDP checksum is enabled, it protects the GRE   payload, resulting in the GRE checksum being mostly redundant.   Enabling both checksums may result in unnecessary processing.  Since   the UDP checksum covers the pseudo-header and the packet payload,   including the GRE header and its payload, the UDP checksum SHOULD be   used in preference to the GRE checksum.   An implementation MAY use the GRE Key field to authenticate the   encapsulator.  (See the Security Considerations section.)  In this   model, a shared value is either configured or negotiated between an   encapsulator and decapsulator.  When a decapsulator determines that a   presented key is not valid for the source, the packet MUST be   dropped.   Although the GRE-in-UDP encapsulation protocol uses both the UDP   header and GRE header, it is one tunnel encapsulation protocol.  The   GRE and UDP headers MUST be applied and removed as a pair at the   encapsulation and decapsulation points.  This specification does not   support UDP encapsulation of a GRE header where that GRE header is   applied or removed at a network node other than the UDP tunnel   ingress or egress.Yong, et al.                 Standards Track                   [Page 12]

RFC 8086                GRE-in-UDP Encapsulation              March 20174.  Encapsulation Procedures   The procedures specified in this section apply to both a default GRE-   in-UDP tunnel and a TMCE GRE-in-UDP tunnel.   The GRE-in-UDP encapsulation allows encapsulated packets to be   forwarded through "GRE-in-UDP tunnels".  The encapsulator MUST set   the UDP and GRE headers according toSection 3.   Intermediate routers, upon receiving these UDP encapsulated packets,   could load-balance these packets based on the hash of the five-tuple   of UDP packets.   Upon receiving these UDP encapsulated packets, the decapsulator   decapsulates them by removing the UDP and GRE headers and then   processes them accordingly.   GRE-in-UDP can encapsulate traffic with unicast, IPv4 broadcast, or   multicast (see requirement 3 inSection 2.1.1).  However, a default   GRE-in-UDP tunnel MUST NOT be deployed or configured to carry traffic   that is not congestion-controlled (see requirement 3 inSection2.1.1).  Entropy may be generated from the header of encapsulated   packets at an encapsulator.  The mapping mechanism between the   encapsulated multicast traffic and the multicast capability in the IP   network is transparent and independent of the encapsulation and is   otherwise outside the scope of this document.   To provide entropy for ECMP, GRE-in-UDP does not rely on GRE keep-   alive.  It is RECOMMENDED not to use GRE keep-alive in the GRE-in-UDP   tunnel.  This aligns with middlebox traversal guidelines inSection 3.5 of [RFC8085].4.1.  MTU and Fragmentation   Regarding packet fragmentation, an encapsulator/decapsulator SHOULD   perform fragmentation before the encapsulation.  The size of   fragments SHOULD be less than or equal to the Path MTU (PMTU)   associated with the path between the GRE ingress and the GRE egress   tunnel endpoints minus the GRE and UDP overhead, assuming the egress   MTU for reassembled packets is larger than the PMTU.  When applying   payload fragmentation, the UDP checksum MUST be used so that the   receiving endpoint can validate reassembly of the fragments; the same   source UDP port SHOULD be used for all packet fragments to ensure the   transit routers will forward the fragments on the same path.Yong, et al.                 Standards Track                   [Page 13]

RFC 8086                GRE-in-UDP Encapsulation              March 2017   If the operator of the transit network supporting the tunnel is able   to control the payload MTU size, the MTU SHOULD be configured to   avoid fragmentation, i.e., sufficient for the largest supported size   of packet, including all additional bytes introduced by the tunnel   overhead [RFC8085].4.2.  Differentiated Services and ECN Marking   To ensure that tunneled traffic receives the same treatment over the   IP network as traffic that is not tunneled, prior to the   encapsulation process, an encapsulator processes the tunneled IP   packet headers to retrieve appropriate parameters for the   encapsulating IP packet header such as Diffserv [RFC2983].   Encapsulation endpoints that support Explicit Congestion Notification   (ECN) must use the method described in [RFC6040] for ECN marking   propagation.  The congestion control process is outside of the scope   of this document.   Additional information on IP header processing is provided inSection 3.1.5.  Use of DTLS   Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) [RFC6347] can be used for   application security and can preserve network- and transport-layer   protocol information.  Specifically, if DTLS is used to secure the   GRE-in-UDP tunnel, the destination port of the UDP header MUST be set   to the IANA-assigned value (4755) indicating GRE-in-UDP with DTLS,   and that UDP port MUST NOT be used for other traffic.  The UDP source   port field can still be used to add entropy, e.g., for load-sharing   purposes.  DTLS applies to a default GRE-in-UDP tunnel and a TMCE   GRE-in-UDP tunnel.   Use of DTLS is limited to a single DTLS session for any specific   tunnel encapsulator/decapsulator pair (identified by source and   destination IP addresses).  Both IP addresses MUST be unicast   addresses -- multicast traffic is not supported when DTLS is used.  A   GRE-in-UDP tunnel decapsulator that supports DTLS is expected to be   able to establish DTLS sessions with multiple tunnel encapsulators,   and likewise a GRE-in-UDP tunnel encapsulator is expected to be able   to establish DTLS sessions with multiple decapsulators.  Different   source and/or destination IP addresses will be involved; seeSection 6.2 for discussion of one situation where use of different   source IP addresses is important.Yong, et al.                 Standards Track                   [Page 14]

RFC 8086                GRE-in-UDP Encapsulation              March 2017   When DTLS is used for a GRE-in-UDP tunnel, if a packet is received   from the tunnel and that packet is not protected by the DTLS session   or part of DTLS negotiation (e.g., a DTLS handshake message   [RFC6347]), the tunnel receiver MUST discard that packet and SHOULD   log that discard event and information about the discarded packet.   DTLS SHOULD be used for a GRE-in-UDP tunnel to meet security   requirements of the original traffic that is delivered by a GRE-in-   UDP tunnel.  There are cases where no additional security is   required, e.g., the traffic to be encapsulated is already encrypted   or the tunnel is deployed within an operationally secured network.   Use of DTLS for a GRE-in-UDP tunnel requires both tunnel endpoints to   configure use of DTLS.6.  UDP Checksum Handling6.1.  UDP Checksum with IPv4   For UDP in IPv4, when a non-zero UDP checksum is used, the UDP   checksum MUST be processed as specified in [RFC768] and [RFC1122] for   both transmit and receive.  The IPv4 header includes a checksum that   protects against misdelivery of the packet due to corruption of IP   addresses.  The UDP checksum potentially provides protection against   corruption of the UDP header, GRE header, and GRE payload.  Disabling   the use of checksums is a deployment consideration that should take   into account the risk and effects of packet corruption.   When a decapsulator receives a packet, the UDP checksum field MUST be   processed.  If the UDP checksum is non-zero, the decapsulator MUST   verify the checksum before accepting the packet.  By default, a   decapsulator SHOULD accept UDP packets with a zero checksum.  A node   MAY be configured to disallow zero checksums per [RFC1122]; this may   be done selectively, for instance, disallowing zero checksums from   certain hosts that are known to be sending over paths subject to   packet corruption.  If verification of a non-zero checksum fails, a   decapsulator lacks the capability to verify a non-zero checksum, or a   packet with a zero checksum was received and the decapsulator is   configured to disallow, the packet MUST be dropped and an event MAY   be logged.6.2.  UDP Checksum with IPv6   For UDP in IPv6, the UDP checksum MUST be processed as specified in   [RFC768] and [RFC2460] for both transmit and receive.   When UDP is used over IPv6, the UDP checksum is relied upon to   protect both the IPv6 and UDP headers from corruption.  As such, a   default GRE-in-UDP tunnel MUST perform UDP checksum; a TMCE GRE-in-Yong, et al.                 Standards Track                   [Page 15]

RFC 8086                GRE-in-UDP Encapsulation              March 2017   UDP tunnel MAY be configured with UDP zero-checksum mode if the   traffic-managed controlled environment or a set of closely   cooperating traffic-managed controlled environments (such as by   network operators who have agreed to work together in order to   jointly provide specific services) meet at least one of the following   conditions:   a.  It is known (perhaps through knowledge of equipment types and       lower-layer checks) that packet corruption is exceptionally       unlikely and where the operator is willing to take the risk of       undetected packet corruption.   b.  It is judged through observational measurements (perhaps of       historic or current traffic flows that use a non-zero checksum)       that the level of packet corruption is tolerably low and where       the operator is willing to take the risk of undetected packet       corruption.   c.  Carrying applications that are tolerant of misdelivered or       corrupted packets (perhaps through higher-layer checksum,       validation, and retransmission or transmission redundancy) where       the operator is willing to rely on the applications using the       tunnel to survive any corrupt packets.   The following requirements apply to a TMCE GRE-in-UDP tunnel that   uses UDP zero-checksum mode:   a.  Use of the UDP checksum with IPv6 MUST be the default       configuration of all GRE-in-UDP tunnels.   b.  The GRE-in-UDP tunnel implementation MUST comply with all       requirements specified inSection 4 of [RFC6936] and with       requirement 1 specified inSection 5 of [RFC6936].   c.  The tunnel decapsulator SHOULD only allow the use of UDP zero-       checksum mode for IPv6 on a single received UDP Destination Port,       regardless of the encapsulator.  The motivation for this       requirement is possible corruption of the UDP Destination Port,       which may cause packet delivery to the wrong UDP port.  If that       other UDP port requires the UDP checksum, the misdelivered packet       will be discarded.   d.  It is RECOMMENDED that the UDP zero-checksum mode for IPv6 is       only enabled for certain selected source addresses.  The tunnel       decapsulator MUST check that the source and destination IPv6       addresses are valid for the GRE-in-UDP tunnel on which the packet       was received if that tunnel uses UDP zero-checksum mode and       discard any packet for which this check fails.Yong, et al.                 Standards Track                   [Page 16]

RFC 8086                GRE-in-UDP Encapsulation              March 2017   e.  The tunnel encapsulator SHOULD use different IPv6 addresses for       each GRE-in-UDP tunnel that uses UDP zero-checksum mode,       regardless of the decapsulator, in order to strengthen the       decapsulator's check of the IPv6 source address (i.e., the same       IPv6 source address SHOULD NOT be used with more than one IPv6       destination address, independent of whether that destination       address is a unicast or multicast address).  When this is not       possible, it is RECOMMENDED to use each source IPv6 address for       as few GRE-in-UDP tunnels that use UDP zero-checksum mode as is       feasible.   f.  When any middlebox exists on the path of a GRE-in-UDP tunnel, it       is RECOMMENDED to use the default mode, i.e., use UDP checksum,       to reduce the chance that the encapsulated packets will be       dropped.   g.  Any middlebox that allows the UDP zero-checksum mode for IPv6       MUST comply with requirements 1 and 8-10 inSection 5 of       [RFC6936].   h.  Measures SHOULD be taken to prevent IPv6 traffic with zero UDP       checksums from "escaping" to the general Internet; seeSection 8       for examples of such measures.   i.  IPv6 traffic with zero UDP checksums MUST be actively monitored       for errors by the network operator.  For example, the operator       may monitor Ethernet-layer packet error rates.   j.  If a packet with a non-zero checksum is received, the checksum       MUST be verified before accepting the packet.  This is regardless       of whether the tunnel encapsulator and decapsulator have been       configured with UDP zero-checksum mode.   The above requirements do not change either the requirements   specified in [RFC2460] as modified by [RFC6935] or the requirements   specified in [RFC6936].   The requirement to check the source IPv6 address in addition to the   destination IPv6 address and the strong recommendation against reuse   of source IPv6 addresses among GRE-in-UDP tunnels collectively   provide some mitigation for the absence of UDP checksum coverage of   the IPv6 header.  A traffic-managed controlled environment that   satisfies at least one of three conditions listed at the beginning of   this section provides additional assurance.   A GRE-in-UDP tunnel is suitable for transmission over lower layers in   the traffic-managed controlled environments that are allowed by the   exceptions stated above, and the rate of corruption of the inner IPYong, et al.

RFC 8086                GRE-in-UDP Encapsulation              March 2017   packet on such networks is not expected to increase by comparison to   GRE traffic that is not encapsulated in UDP.  For these reasons, GRE-   in-UDP does not provide an additional integrity check except when GRE   checksum is used when UDP zero-checksum mode is used with IPv6, and   this design is in accordance with requirements 2, 3, and 5 specified   inSection 5 of [RFC6936].   Generic Router Encapsulation (GRE) does not accumulate incorrect   transport-layer state as a consequence of GRE header corruption.  A   corrupt GRE packet may result in either packet discard or packet   forwarding without accumulation of GRE state.  Active monitoring of   GRE-in-UDP traffic for errors is REQUIRED, as the occurrence of   errors will result in some accumulation of error information outside   the protocol for operational and management purposes.  This design is   in accordance with requirement 4 specified inSection 5 of [RFC6936].   The remaining requirements specified inSection 5 of [RFC6936] are   not applicable to GRE-in-UDP.  Requirements 6 and 7 do not apply   because GRE does not include a control feedback mechanism.   Requirements 8-10 are middlebox requirements that do not apply to   GRE-in-UDP tunnel endpoints.  (SeeSection 7.1 for further middlebox   discussion.)   It is worth mentioning that the use of a zero UDP checksum should   present the equivalent risk of undetected packet corruption when   sending a similar packet using GRE-in-IPv6 without UDP [RFC7676] and   without GRE checksums.   In summary, a TMCE GRE-in-UDP tunnel is allowed to use UDP zero-   checksum mode for IPv6 when the conditions and requirements stated   above are met.  Otherwise, the UDP checksum needs to be used for IPv6   as specified in [RFC768] and [RFC2460].  Use of GRE checksum is   RECOMMENDED when the UDP checksum is not used.7.  Middlebox Considerations   Many middleboxes read or update UDP port information of the packets   that they forward.  Network Address Port Translator (NAPT) is the   most commonly deployed Network Address Translation (NAT) device   [RFC4787].  A NAPT device establishes a NAT session to translate the   {private IP address, private source port number} tuple to a {public   IP address, public source port number} tuple, and vice versa, for the   duration of the UDP session.  This provides a UDP application with   the "NAT pass-through" function.  NAPT allows multiple internal hosts   to share a single public IP address.  The port number, i.e., the UDP   Source Port number, is used as the demultiplexer of the multipleYong, et al.                 Standards Track                   [Page 18]

RFC 8086                GRE-in-UDP Encapsulation              March 2017   internal hosts.  However, the above NAPT behaviors conflict with the   behavior of a GRE-in-UDP tunnel that is configured to use the UDP   source port value to provide entropy.   A GRE-in-UDP tunnel is unidirectional; the tunnel traffic is not   expected to be returned back to the UDP source port values used to   generate entropy.  However, some middleboxes (e.g., firewalls) assume   that bidirectional traffic uses a common pair of UDP ports.  This   assumption also conflicts with the use of the UDP source port field   as entropy.   Hence, use of the UDP source port for entropy may impact middleboxes'   behavior.  If a GRE-in-UDP tunnel is expected to be used on a path   with a middlebox, the tunnel can be configured either to disable use   of the UDP source port for entropy or to enable middleboxes to pass   packets with UDP source port entropy.7.1.  Middlebox Considerations for Zero Checksums   IPv6 datagrams with a zero UDP checksum will not be passed by any   middlebox that updates the UDP checksum field or simply validates the   checksum based on [RFC2460], such as firewalls.  Changing this   behavior would require such middleboxes to be updated to correctly   handle datagrams with zero UDP checksums.  The GRE-in-UDP   encapsulation does not provide a mechanism to safely fall back to   using a checksum when a path change occurs that redirects a tunnel   over a path that includes a middlebox that discards IPv6 datagrams   with a zero UDP checksum.  In this case, the GRE-in-UDP tunnel will   be black-holed by that middlebox.   As such, when any middlebox exists on the path of a GRE-in-UDP   tunnel, use of the UDP checksum is RECOMMENDED to increase the   probability of successful transmission of GRE-in-UDP packets.   Recommended changes to allow firewalls and other middleboxes to   support use of an IPv6 zero UDP checksum are described inSection 5   of [RFC6936].8.  Congestion ConsiderationsSection 3.1.9 of [RFC8085] discusses the congestion considerations   for design and use of UDP tunnels; this is important because other   flows could share the path with one or more UDP tunnels,   necessitating congestion control [RFC2914] to avoid destructive   interference.   Congestion has potential impacts both on the rest of the network   containing a UDP tunnel and on the traffic flows using the UDP   tunnels.  These impacts depend upon what sort of traffic is carriedYong, et al.                 Standards Track                   [Page 19]

RFC 8086                GRE-in-UDP Encapsulation              March 2017   over the tunnel, as well as the path of the tunnel.  The GRE-in-UDP   tunnel protocol does not provide any congestion control and GRE-in-   UDP packets are regular UDP packets.  Therefore, a GRE-in-UDP tunnel   MUST NOT be deployed to carry non-congestion-controlled traffic over   the Internet [RFC8085].   Within a TMCE network, GRE-in-UDP tunnels are appropriate for   carrying traffic that is not known to be congestion controlled.  For   example, a GRE-in-UDP tunnel may be used to carry Multiprotocol Label   Switching (MPLS) traffic such as pseudowires or VPNs where specific   bandwidth guarantees are provided to each pseudowire or VPN.  In such   cases, operators of TMCE networks avoid congestion by careful   provisioning of their networks, rate-limiting of user data traffic,   and traffic engineering according to path capacity.   When a GRE-in-UDP tunnel carries traffic that is not known to be   congestion controlled in a TMCE network, the tunnel MUST be deployed   entirely within that network, and measures SHOULD be taken to prevent   the GRE-in-UDP traffic from "escaping" the network to the general   Internet.  Examples of such measures are:   o  physical or logical isolation of the links carrying GRE-in-UDP      from the general Internet,   o  deployment of packet filters that block the UDP ports assigned for      GRE-in-UDP, and   o  imposition of restrictions on GRE-in-UDP traffic by software tools      used to set up GRE-in-UDP tunnels between specific end systems (as      might be used within a single data center) or by tunnel ingress      nodes for tunnels that don't terminate at end systems.9.  Backward Compatibility   In general, tunnel ingress routers have to be upgraded in order to   support the encapsulations described in this document.   No change is required at transit routers to support forwarding of the   encapsulation described in this document.   If a tunnel endpoint (a host or router) that is intended for use as a   decapsulator does not support or enable the GRE-in-UDP encapsulation   described in this document, that endpoint will not listen on the   destination port assigned to the GRE-encapsulation (4754 and 4755).   In these cases, the endpoint will perform normal UDP processing and   respond to an encapsulator with an ICMP message indicating "portYong, et al.

Security Considerations   GRE-in-UDP encapsulation does not affect security for the payload   protocol.  The security considerations for GRE apply to GRE-in-UDP;   see [RFC2784].   To secure traffic carried by a GRE-in-UDP tunnel, DTLS SHOULD be used   as specified inSection 5.   In the case that UDP source port for entropy usage is disabled, a   random port taken from the ephemeral port range SHOULD be selected in   order to minimize the vulnerability to off-path attacks [RFC6056].   The random port may also be periodically changed to mitigate certain   DoS attacks as mentioned inSection 3.2.1.Yong, et al.                 Standards Track                   [Page 21]

RFC 8086                GRE-in-UDP Encapsulation              March 2017   Using one standardized value as the UDP destination port to indicate   an encapsulation may increase the vulnerability to off-path attacks.   To overcome this, an alternate port may be agreed upon to use between   an encapsulator and decapsulator [RFC6056].  How the encapsulator   endpoints communicate the value is outside the scope of this   document.   This document does not require that a decapsulator validate the IP   source address of the tunneled packets (with the exception that the   IPv6 source address MUST be validated when UDP zero-checksum mode is   used with IPv6), but it should be understood that failure to do so   presupposes that there is effective destination-based filtering (or a   combination of source-based and destination-based filtering) at the   boundaries.   Corruption of GRE headers can cause security concerns for   applications that rely on the GRE Key field for traffic separation or   segregation.  When the GRE Key field is used for this purpose, such   as an application of a Network Virtualization Using Generic Routing   Encapsulation (NVGRE) [RFC7637], GRE header corruption is a concern.   In such situations, at least one of the UDP and GRE checksums MUST be   used for both IPv4 and IPv6 GRE-in-UDP tunnels.12.  References12.1.
