Introduction   The use of administratively-scoped IP multicast, as defined inRFC2365 [1], allows packets to be addressed to a specific range of   multicast addresses (e.g., 239.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 for IPv4)   such that the packets will not cross configured administrative   boundaries, and also allows such addresses to be locally assigned and   hence are not required to be unique across administrative boundaries.   This property of logical naming both allows for address reuse, as   well as provides the capability for infrastructure services such as   address allocation, session advertisement, and service location to   use well-known addresses which are guaranteed to have local   significance within every organization.   The range of administratively-scoped addresses can be subdivided by   administrators so that multiple levels of administrative boundaries   can be simultaneously supported.  As a result, a "multicast scope" is   defined as a particular range of addresses which has been given some   topological meaning.   To support such usage, a router at an administrative boundary is   configured with one or more per-interface filters, or "multicast   scope boundaries".  Having such a boundary on an interface means that   it will not forward packets matching a configured range of multicast   addresses in either direction on the interface.   A specific area of the network topology which is within a boundary   for a given scope is known as a "multicast scope zone".  Since the   same ranges can be reused within disjoint areas of the network, there   may be many "multicast scope zones" for any given multicast scope.  AHandley, et al.             Standards Track                     [Page 2]

RFC 2776                          MZAP                     February 2000   scope zone may have zero or more textual names (in different   languages) for the scope, for human convenience.  For example, if the   range 239.192/14 were assigned to span an entire corporate network,   it might be given (internally) the name "BigCo Private Scope".   Administrative scope zones may be of any size, and a particular host   may be within many administrative scope zones (for different scopes,   i.e., for non-overlapping ranges of addresses) of various sizes, as   long as scope zones that intersect topologically do not intersect in   address range.   Applications and services are interested in various aspects of the   scopes within which they reside:   o  Applications which present users with a choice of which scope in      which to operate (e.g., when creating a new session, whether it is      to be confined to a corporate intranet, or whether it should go      out over the public Internet) are interested in the textual names      which have significance to users.   o  Services which use "relative" multicast addresses (as defined in      [1]) in every scope are interested in the range of addresses used      by each scope, so that they can apply a constant offset and      compute which address to use in each scope.   o  Address allocators are interested in the address range, and      whether they are allowed to allocate addresses within the entire      range or not.   o  Some applications and services may also be interested in the      nesting relationships among scopes.  For example, knowledge of the      nesting relationships can be used to perform "expanding-scope"      searches in a similar, but better behaved, manner to the well-      known expanding ring search where the TTL of a query is steadily      increased until a replier can be found.  Studies have also shown      that nested scopes can be useful in localizing multicast repair      traffic [8].   Two barriers currently make administrative scoping difficult to   deploy and use:   o  Applications have no way to dynamically discover information on      scopes that are relevant to them.  This makes it difficult to use      administrative scope zones, and hence reduces the incentive to      deploy them.Handley, et al.             Standards Track                     [Page 3]

RFC 2776                          MZAP                     February 2000   o  Misconfiguration is easy.  It is difficult to detect scope zones      that have been configured so as to not be convex (the shortest      path between two nodes within the zone passes outside the zone),      or to leak (one or more boundary routers were not configured      correctly), or to intersect in both area and address range.   These two barriers are addressed by this document.  In particular,   this document defines the Multicast Scope Zone Announcement Protocol   (MZAP) which allows an entity to learn what scope zones it is within.   Typically servers will cache the information learned from MZAP and   can then provide this information to applications in a timely fashion   upon request using other means, e.g., via MADCAP [9].  MZAP also   provides diagnostic information to the boundary routers themselves   that enables misconfigured scope zones to be detected.2.  Terminology   The "Local Scope" is defined inRFC 2365 [1] and represents the   smallest administrative scope larger than link-local, and the   associated address range is defined as 239.255.0.0 to 239.255.255.255   inclusive (for IPv4, FF03::/16 for IPv6).RFC 2365 specifies:      "239.255.0.0/16 is defined to be the IPv4 Local Scope.  The Local      Scope is the minimal enclosing scope, and hence is not further      divisible. Although the exact extent of a Local Scope is site      dependent, locally scoped regions must obey certain topological      constraints. In particular, a Local Scope must not span any other      scope boundary. Further, a Local Scope must be completely      contained within or equal to any larger scope. In the event that      scope regions overlap in area, the area of overlap must be in its      own Local Scope.  This implies that any scope boundary is also a      boundary for the Local Scope."   A multicast scope Zone Boundary Router (ZBR) is a router that is   configured with a boundary for a particular multicast scope on one or   more of its interfaces.  Any interface that is configured with a   boundary for any administrative scope zone MUST also have a boundary   for the Local Scope zone, as described above.   Such routers SHOULD be configured so that the router itself is within   the scope zone.  This is shown in Figure 1(a), where router A is   inside the scope zone and has the boundary configuration.Handley, et al.             Standards Track                     [Page 4]

This   rule does not apply for Local Scope boundaries, but applies for all   other boundary routers.   We next define the term "Zone ID" to mean the lowest IP address used   by any ZBR for a particular zone for sourcing MZAP messages into that   scope zone.  The combination of this IP address and the first   multicast address in the scope range serve to uniquely identify the   scope zone.  Each ZBR listens for messages from other ZBRs for the   same boundary, and can determine the Zone ID based on the source   addresses seen.  The Zone ID may change over time as ZBRs come up and   down.   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 inRFC 2119 [2].   Constants used by this protocol are shown as [NAME-OF-CONSTANT], and   summarized insection 7.3.  Overview   When a ZBR is configured correctly, it can deduce which side of the   boundary is inside the scope zone and which side is outside it.   Such a ZBR then sends periodic Zone Announcement Messages (ZAMs) for   each zone for which it is configured as a boundary into that scope   zone, containing information on the scope zone's address range, Zone   ID, and textual names.  These messages are multicast to the well-Handley, et al.             Standards Track                     [Page 5]

Scope Nesting   MZAP also provides the ability to discover the nesting relationships   between scope zones.  Two zones are nested if one is comprised of a   subset of the routers in the other, as shown in Figure 3.     +-----------+       +-----------+      +-------------+     | Zone 1    |       | Zone 3    |      | Zone 5      |     |   +------+|       |    +------+      |    .........|..     |   |Zone 2||       |    |Zone 4|      |    : Zone 6 | :     |   +--A---+|       |    C      |      |    D        | :     +-----------+       +----+--B---+      +--------E----+ :                                                 :..........:   (a) "Contained"    (b) "Common Border"  (c) "Overlap"        Zone 2 nests       Zone 4 nests         Zones 5 and 6        inside Zone 1      inside Zone 3        do not nest                   Figure 3: Zone nesting examples   A ZBR cannot independently determine whether one zone is nested   inside another.  However, it can determine that one zone does NOT   nest inside another.  For example, in Figure 3:   o  ZBR A will pass ZAMs for zone 1 but will prevent ZAMs from zone 2      from leaving zone 2.  When ZBR A first receives a ZAM for zone 1,      it then knows that zone 1 does not nest within zone 2, but it      cannot, however, determine whether zone 2 nests within zone 1.Handley, et al.             Standards Track                     [Page 6]

RFC 2776                          MZAP                     February 2000   o  ZBR B acts as ZBR for both zones 3 and 4, and hence cannot      determine if one is nested inside the other.  However, ZBR C can      determine that zone 3 does not nest inside zone 4 when it receives      a ZAM for zone 3, since it is a ZBR for zone 4 but not zone 3.   o  ZBR D only acts as ZBR zone 6 and not 5, hence ZBR D can deduce      that zone 5 does not nest inside zone 6 upon hearing a ZAM for      zone 5.  Similarly, ZBR E only acts as ZBR zone 5 and not 6, hence      ZBR E can deduce that zone 6 does not nest inside zone 5 upon      hearing a ZAM for zone 6.   The fact that ZBRs can determine that one zone does not nest inside   another, but not that a zone does nest inside another, means that   nesting must be determined in a distributed fashion.  This is done by   sending Not-Inside Messages (NIMs) which express the fact that a zone   X is not inside a zone Y.  Such messages are sent to the well-known   [MZAP-LOCAL-GROUP] and are thus seen by the same entities listening   to ZAM messages (e.g., MADCAP servers).  Such entities can then   determine the nesting relationship between two scopes based on a   sustained absence of any evidence to the contrary.3.2.  Other Messages   Two other message types, Zone Convexity Messages (ZCMs) and Zone   Limit Exceeded (ZLE) messages, are used only by routers, and enable   them to compare their configurations for consistency and detect   misconfigurations.  These messages are sent to MZAP's relative   address within the scope range associated with the scope zone to   which they refer, and hence are typically not seen by entities other   than routers.  Their use in detecting specific misconfiguration   scenarios will be covered in the next section.   Packet formats for all messages are described inSection 5.3.3.  Zone IDs   When a boundary router first starts up, it uses its lowest IP address   which it considers to be inside a given zone, and which is routable   everywhere within the zone (for example, not a link-local address),   as the Zone ID for that zone.  It then schedules ZCM (and ZAM)   messages to be sent in the future (it does not send them   immediately).  When a ZCM is received for the given scope, the sender   is added to the local list of ZBRs (including itself) for that scope,   and the Zone ID is updated to be the lowest IP address in the list.   Entries in the list are eventually timed out if no further messages   are received from that ZBR, such that the Zone ID will converge to   the lowest address of any active ZBR for the scope.Handley, et al.             Standards Track                     [Page 7]

RFC 2776                          MZAP                     February 2000   Note that the sender of ZAM messages MUST NOT be used in this way.   This is because the procedure for detecting a leaky Local scope   described inSection 4.3 below relies on two disjoint zones for the   same scope range having different Zone IDs.  If ZAMs are used to   compute Zone IDs, then ZAMs leaking across a Local Scope boundary   will cause the two zones to converge to the same Zone ID.4.  Detecting Router Misconfigurations   In this section, we cover how to detect various error conditions.  If   any error is detected, the router should attempt to alert a network   administrator to the nature of the misconfiguration.  The means to do   this lies outside the scope of MZAP.4.1.  Detecting non-convex scope zones   Zone Convexity Messages (ZCMs) are used by routers to detect non-   convex administrative scope zones, which are one possible   misconfiguration.  Non-convex scope zones can cause problems for   applications since a receiver may never see administratively-scoped   packets from a sender within the same scope zone, since packets   travelling between them may be dropped at the boundary.   In the example illustrated in Figure 4, the path between B and D goes   outside the scope (through A and E).  Here, Router B and Router C   send ZCMs within a given scope zone for which they each have a   boundary, with each reporting the other boundary routers of the zone   from which they have heard.  In Figure 4, Router D cannot see Router   B's messages, but can see C's report of B, and so can conclude the   zone is not convex.    #####*####========    #    B   #       =         ##### = non-convex scope boundary    #    |->A*       =    #    |   #       =         ===== = other scope boundaries    #    |   ####*####    #    |       E   #         ----> = path of B's ZCM    #    v          D*    #    C           #             * = boundary interface    #####*############                Figure 4: Non-convexity detectionHandley, et al.

RFC 2776                          MZAP                     February 2000   Non-convex scope zones can be detected via three methods:   (1) If a ZBR is listed in ZCMs received, but the next-hop interface       (according to the multicast RIB) towards that ZBR is outside the       scope zone,   (2) If a ZBR is listed in ZCMs received, but no ZCM is received from       that ZBR for [ZCM-HOLDTIME] seconds, as illustrated in Figure 4,       or   (3) ZAM messages can also be used in a manner similar to that for       ZCMs in (1) above, as follows: if a ZAM is received from a ZBR on       an interface inside a given scope zone, and the next-hop       interface (according to the multicast RIB) towards that ZBR is       outside the scope zone.   Zone Convexity Messages MAY also be sent and received by correctly   configured ordinary hosts within a scope region, which may be a   useful diagnostic facility that does not require privileged access.4.2.  Detecting leaky boundaries for non-local scopes   A "leaky" boundary is one which logically has a "hole" due to some   router not having a boundary applied on an interface where one ought   to exist.  Hence, the boundary does not completely surround a piece   of the network, resulting in scoped data leaking outside.   Leaky scope boundaries can be detected via two methods:   (1) If it receives ZAMs originating inside the scope boundary on an       interface that points outside the zone boundary.  Such a ZAM       message must have escaped the zone through a leak, and flooded       back around behind the boundary.  This is illustrated in Figure       5.        =============#####*########        = Zone1      #    A Zone2 #       C   = misconfigured router        =      +---->*E   v       #        =      |     #    B       #     ##### = leaky scope boundary        =======*=====#====*=======#        =      D     #    |       #     ===== = other scope boundaries        =      ^-----*C<--+       #        = Zone4      #      Zone3 #     ----> = path of ZAMs        =============##############                        Figure 5: ZAM LeakingHandley, et al.

RFC 2776                          MZAP                     February 2000   (2) If a Zone Length Exceeded (ZLE) message is received.  The ZAM       packet also contains a Zones Traveled Limit.  If the number of       Local Scope zones traversed becomes equal to the Zones Traveled       Limit, a ZLE message is generated (the suppression mechanism for       preventing implosion is described later in the Processing Rules       section).  ZLEs detect leaks where packets do not return to       another part of the same scope zone, but instead reach other       Local Scope zones far away from the ZAM originator.   In either case, the misconfigured router will be either the message   origin, or one of the routers in the ZBR path list which is included   in the message received (or perhaps a router on the path between two   such ZBRs which ought to have been a ZBR itself).4.3.  Detecting a leaky Local Scope zone   A local scope is leaky if a router has an administrative scope   boundary on some interface, but does not have a Local Scope boundary   on that interface as specified inRFC 2365.  This can be detected via   the following method:   o  If a ZAM for a given scope is received by a ZBR which is a      boundary for that scope, it compares the Origin's Scope Zone ID in      the ZAM with its own Zone ID for the given scope.  If the two do      not match, this is evidence of a misconfiguration.  Since a      temporary mismatch may result immediately after a recent change in      the reachability of the lowest-addressed ZBR, misconfiguration      should be assumed only if the mismatch is persistent.   The exact location of the problem can be found by doing an mtrace [5]   from the router detecting the problem, back to the ZAM origin, for   any group within the address range identified by the ZAM.  The router   at fault will be the one reporting that a boundary was reached.4.4.  Detecting conflicting scope zones   Conflicting address ranges can be detected via the following method:   o  If a ZBR receives a ZAM for a given scope, and the included start      and end addresses overlap with, but are not identical to, the      start and end addresses of a locally-configured scope.   Conflicting scope names can be detected via the following method:   o  If a ZBR is configured with a textual name for a given scope and      language, and it receives a ZAM or ZCM with a name for the same      scope and language, but the scope names do not match.Handley, et al.

RFC 2776                          MZAP                     February 2000   Detecting either type of conflict above indicates that either the   local router or the router originating the message is misconfigured.   Configuration tools SHOULD strip white space from the beginning and   end of each name to avoid accidental misconfiguration.5.  Packet Formats   All MZAP messages are sent over UDP, with a destination port of   [MZAP-PORT] and an IPv4 TTL or IPv6 Hop Limit of 255.   When sending an MZAP message referring to a given scope zone, a ZBR   MUST use a source address which will have significance everywhere   within the scope zone to which the message refers.  For example,   link-local addresses MUST NOT be used.   The common MZAP message header (which follows the UDP header), is   shown below:    0                   1                   2                   3    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   |    Version    |B|    PTYPE    |Address Family |   NameCount   |   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   |                        Message Origin                         |   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   |                        Zone ID Address                        |   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   |                       Zone Start Address                      |   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   |                        Zone End Address                       |   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   | Encoded Zone Name-1 (variable length)                         |   +                               +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   |                               |     . . .                     |   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   |  . . .        | Encoded Zone Name-N (variable length)         |   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+               +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   |                               |     Padding (if needed)       |   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   Version:      The version defined in this document is version 0.Handley, et al.

If set, address allocators should not use the entire      range, but should learn an appropriate sub-range via another      mechanism (e.g., AAP [7]).   Packet Type (PTYPE):      The packet types defined in this document are:         0: Zone Announcement Message (ZAM)         1: Zone Limit Exceeded (ZLE)         2: Zone Convexity Message (ZCM)         3: Not-Inside Message (NIM)   Address Family:      The IANA-assigned address family number [10,11] identifying the      address family for all addresses in the packet.  The families      defined for IP are:         1: IPv4         2: IPv6   Name Count:      The number of encoded zone name blocks in this packet.  The count      may be zero.   Zone Start Address: 32 bits (IPv4) or 128 bits (IPv6)      This gives the start address for the scope zone boundary.  For      example, if the zone is a boundary for 239.1.0.0 to 239.1.0.255,      then Zone Start Address is 239.1.0.0.   Zone End Address: 32 bits (IPv4) or 128 bits (IPv6)      This gives the ending address for the scope zone boundary.  For      example, if the zone is a boundary for 239.1.0.0 to 239.1.0.255,      then Zone End Address is 239.1.0.255.   Message Origin: 32 bits (IPv4) or 128 bits (IPv6)      This gives the IP address of the interface that originated the      message.   Zone ID Address: 32 bits (IPv4) or 128 bits (IPv6)      This gives the lowest IP address of a boundary router that has      been observed in the zone originating the message.  Together with      Zone Start Address and Zone End Address, it forms a unique ID for      the zone.  Note that this ID is usually different from the ID of      the Local Scope zone in which the origin resides.Handley, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 12]

Language Tag: (variable size)      The language tag, such as "en-US", indicating the language of the      zone name.  Language tags are described in [6].   Name Len:      The length, in bytes, of the Zone Name field.  The length MUST NOT      be zero.

It should be relatively short and MUST be less than 256      bytes in length.  White space SHOULD be stripped from the      beginning and end of each name before encoding, to avoid      accidental conflicts.   Padding (if needed):      The end of the MZAP header is padded with null bytes until it is      4-byte aligned.Handley, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 13]

RFC 2776                          MZAP                     February 2000   The fields are as follows:   MZAP Header:  Header fields identifying the scope X.  The Name Count      may be 0.   Not-Inside Zone Start Address: 32 bits (IPv4) or 128 bits (IPv6) This      gives the start address for the scope Y.6.  Message Processing Rules6.1.  Internal entities listening to MZAP messages   Any host or application may join the [MZAP-LOCAL-GROUP] to listen for   Zone Announcement Messages to build up a list of the scope zones that   are relevant locally, and for Not-Inside Messages if it wishes to   learn nesting information.  However, listening to such messages is   not the recommended method for regular applications to discover this   information.  These applications will normally query a local   Multicast Address Allocation Server (MAAS) [3], which in turn listens   to Zone Announcement Messages and Not-Inside Messages to maintain   scope information, and can be queried by clients via MADCAP messages.   An entity (including a MAAS) lacking any such information can only   assume that it is within the Global Scope, and the Local Scope, both   of which have well-known address ranges defined in [1].   An internal entity (e.g., an MAAS) receiving a ZAM will parse the   information that is relevant to it, such as the address range, and   the names.  An address allocator receiving such information MUST also   use the "B" bit to determine whether it can add the address range to   the set of ranges from which it may allocate addresses (specifically,   it may add them only if the bit is zero).  Even if the bit is zero,   an MAAS SHOULD still store the range information so that clients who   use relative- addresses can still obtain the ranges by requesting   them from the MAAS.   An internal entity (e.g., an MAAS) should assume that X nests within   Y if:   a) it first heard ZAMs for both X and Y at least [NIM-HOLDTIME]      seconds ago, AND   b) it has not heard a NIM indicating that "X not inside Y" for at      least [NIM-HOLDTIME] seconds.Handley, et al.

RFC 2776                          MZAP                     February 20006.2.  Sending ZAMs   Each ZBR should send a Zone Announcement Message for each scope zone   for which it is a boundary every [ZAM-INTERVAL] seconds, +/- 30% of   [ZAM-INTERVAL] each time to avoid message synchronisation.   The ZAM packet also contains a Zones Traveled Limit (ZTL).  If the   number of Local Zone IDs in the ZAM path becomes equal to the Zones   Traveled Limit, the packet will be dropped.  The ZTL field is set   when the packet is first sent, and defaults to 32, but can be set to   a lower value if a network administrator knows the expected size of   the zone.6.3.  Receiving ZAMs   When a ZBR receives a ZAM for some scope zone X, it uses the   following rules.   If the local ZBR does NOT have any configuration for scope X:   (1) Check to see if the included start and end addresses overlap       with, but are not identical to, the start and end addresses of       any locally-configured scope Y, and if so, signal an address       range conflict to a local administrator.   (2) Create a local "X not inside" state entry, if such an entry does       not already exist.  The ZBR then restarts the entry's timer at       [ZAM-HOLDTIME].  Existence of this state indicates that the ZBR       knows that X does not nest inside any scope for which it is a       boundary.  If the entry's timer expires (because no more ZAMs for       X are heard for [ZAM-HOLDTIME]), the entry is deleted.   If the local ZBR does have configuration for scope X:   (1) If the ZAM originated from OUTSIDE the scope (i.e., received over       a boundary interface for scope X):      a) If the Scope Zone ID in the ZAM matches the ZBR's own Scope         Zone ID, then signal a leaky scope misconfiguration.      b) Drop the ZAM (perform no further processing below).  For         example, router G in Figure 2 will not forward the ZAM.  This         rule is primarily a safety measure, since the placement of G in         Figure 2 is not a recommended configuration, as discussed         earlier.Handley, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 18]

RFC 2776                          MZAP                     February 2000   2) If the ZAM originated from INSIDE the scope:      a) If the next-hop interface (according to the multicast RIB)         towards the Origin is outside the scope zone, then signal a         non- convexity problem.      b) If the Origin's Scope Zone ID in the ZAM does not match the         Scope Zone ID kept by the local ZBR, and this mismatch         continues to occur, then signal a possible leaky scope warning.      c) For each textual name in the ZAM, see if a name for the same         scope and language is locally-configured; if so, but the scope         names do not match, signal a scope name conflict to a local         administrator.      d) If the ZAM was received on an interface which is NOT a Local         Scope boundary, and the last Local Zone ID Address in the path         list is 0, the ZBR fills in the Local Zone ID Address of the         local zone from which the ZAM was received.   If a ZAM for the same scope (as identified by the origin Zone ID and   first multicast address) was received in the last [ZAM-DUP-TIME]   seconds, the ZAM is then discarded.  Otherwise, the ZAM is cached for   at least [ZAM-DUP-TIME] seconds.  For example, when router C in   Figure 2 receives the ZAM via B, it will not be forwarded, since it   has just forwarded the ZAM from E.   The Zones Travelled count in the message is then incremented, and if   the updated count is equal to or greater than the ZTL field, schedule   a ZLE to be sent as described in the next subsection and perform no   further processing below.   If the Zone ID of the Local Scope zone in which the ZBR resides is   not already in the ZAM's path list, then the ZAM is immediately re-   originated within the Local Scope zone.  It adds its own address and   the Zone ID of the Local Scope zone into which the message is being   forwarded to the ZAM path list before doing so.  A ZBR receiving a   ZAM with a non-null path list MUST NOT forward that ZAM back into a   Local Scope zone that is contained in the path list.  For example, in   Figure 2, router F, which did not get the ZAM via A due to packet   loss, will not forward the ZAM from B back into Zone 2 since the path   list has { (E,1), (A,2), (B,3) } and hence Zone 2 already appears.   In addition, the ZBR re-originates the ZAM out each interface with a   Local Scope boundary (except that it is not sent back out the   interface over which it was received, nor is it sent into any local   scope zone whose ID is known and appears in the path list).  In each   such ZAM re-originated, the ZBR adds its own IP address to the pathHandley, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 19]

RFC 2776                          MZAP                     February 2000   list, as well as the Zone ID Address of the Local Scope Zone into   which the ZAM is being sent, or 0 if the ID is unknown.  (For   example, if the other end of a point-to-point link also has a   boundary on the interface, then the link has no Local Scope Zone ID.)6.4.  Sending ZLEs   This packet is sent by a local-zone boundary router that would have   exceeded the Zone Traveled Limit if it had forwarded a ZAM packet.   To avoid ZLE implosion, ZLEs are multicast with a random delay and   suppressed by other ZLEs.  It is only scheduled if at least [ZLE-   MIN-INTERVAL] seconds have elapsed since it previously sent a ZLE to   any destination.  To schedule a ZLE, the router sets a random delay   timer within the interval [ZLE-SUPPRESSION-INTERVAL], and listens to   the [MZAP-RELATIVE-GROUP] within the included scope for other ZLEs.   If any are received before the random delay timer expires, the timer   is cleared and the ZLE is not sent.  If the timer expires, the router   sends a ZLE to the [MZAP-RELATIVE-GROUP] within the indicated scope.   The method used to choose a random delay (T) is as follows:     Choose a random value X from the uniform random interval [0:1]     Let C = 256     Set T = [ZLE-SUPPRESSION-INTERVAL] log( C*X + 1) / log(C)   This equation results in an exponential random distribution which   ensures that close to one ZBR will respond.  Using a purely uniform   distribution would begin to exhibit scaling problems as the number of   ZBRs rose.  Since ZLEs are only suppressed if a duplicate ZLE arrives   before the time chosen, two routers choosing delays which differ by   an amount less than the propagation delay between them will both send   messages, consuming excess bandwidth.  Hence it is desirable to   minimize the number of routers choosing a delay close to the lowest   delay chosen, and an exponential distribution is suitable for this   purpose.   A router SHOULD NOT send more than one Zone Limit Exceeded message   every [ZLE-MIN-INTERVAL] regardless of destination.6.5.  Receiving ZLEs   When a router receives a ZLE, it performs the following actions:   (1) If the router has a duplicate ZLE message scheduled to be sent,       it unschedules its own message so another one will not be sent.   (2) If the ZLE contains the router's own address in the Origin field,       it signals a leaky scope misconfiguration.Handley, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 20]

RFC 2776                          MZAP                     February 20006.6.  Sending ZCMs   Each ZBR should send a Zone Convexity Message (ZCM) for each scope   zone for which it is a boundary every [ZCM-INTERVAL] seconds, +/- 30%   of [ZCM-INTERVAL] each time to avoid message synchronisation.   ZCMs are sent to the [ZCM-RELATIVE-GROUP] in the scoped range itself.   (For example, if the scope range is 239.1.0.0 to 239.1.0.255, then   these messages should be sent to 239.1.0.252.)  As these are not   Locally-Scoped packets, they are simply multicast across the scope   zone itself, and require no path to be built up, nor any special   processing by intermediate Local Scope ZBRs.6.7.  Receiving ZCMs   When a ZCM is received for a given scope X, on an interface which is   inside the scope, it follows the rules below:   (1) The Origin is added to the local list of ZBRs (including itself)       for that scope, and the Zone ID is updated to be the lowest IP       address in the list.  The new entry is scheduled to be timed out       after [ZCM-HOLDTIME] if no further messages are received from       that ZBR, so that the Zone ID will converge to the lowest address       of any active ZBR for the scope.   (2) If a ZBR is listed in ZCMs received, but the next-hop interface       (according to the multicast RIB) towards that ZBR is outside the       scope zone, or if no ZCM is received from that ZBR for [ZCM-       HOLDTIME] seconds, as in the example in Figure 4, then signal a       non-convexity problem.   (3) For each textual name in the ZCM, see if a name for the same       scope and language is locally-configured; if so, but the scope       names do not match, signal a scope name conflict to a local       administrator.6.8.  Sending NIMs   Periodically, for each scope zone Y for which it is a boundary, a   router originates a Not-Inside Message (NIM) for each "X not inside"   entry it has created when receiving ZAMs.  Like a ZAM, this message   is multicast to the address [MZAP-LOCAL-GROUP] from one of its   interfaces inside Y.   Each ZBR should send such a Not-Inside Message every [NIM-INTERVAL]   seconds, +/- 30% of [NIM-INTERVAL] to avoid message synchronization.Handley, et al.

RFC 2776                          MZAP                     February 20006.9.  Receiving NIMs   When a ZBR receives a NIM saying that "X is not inside Y", it is   forwarded, unmodified, in a manner similar to ZAMs:   (1) If the NIM was received on an interface with a boundary for       either X or Y, the NIM is discarded.   (2) Unlike ZAMs, if the NIM was not received on the interface towards       the message origin (according to the Multicast RIB), the NIM is       discarded.   (3) If a NIM for the same X and Y (where each is identified by its       first multicast address) was received in the last [ZAM-DUP-TIME]       seconds, the NIM is not forwarded.   (4) Otherwise, the NIM is cached for at least [ZAM-DUP-TIME] seconds.   (5) The ZBR then re-originates the NIM (i.e., with the original UDP       payload) into each local scope zone in which it has interfaces,       except that it is not sent back into the local scope zone from       which the message was received, nor is it sent out any interface       with a boundary for either X or Y.7.  Constants   [MZAP-PORT]:  The well-known UDP port to which all MZAP messages are   sent.  Value: 2106.   [MZAP-LOCAL-GROUP]:  The well-known group in the Local Scope to which   ZAMs are sent.  All Multicast Address Allocation servers and Zone   Boundary Routers listen to this group.  Value: 239.255.255.252 for   IPv4.   [ZCM-RELATIVE-GROUP]:  The relative group in each scope zone, to   which ZCMs are sent.  A Zone Boundary Router listens to the relative   group in each scope for which it is a boundary.  Value: (last IP   address in scope range) - 3.  For example, in the Local Scope, the   relative group is the same as the [MZAP-LOCAL-GROUP] address.   [ZAM-INTERVAL]:  The interval at which a Zone Boundary Router   originates Zone Announcement Messages.  Default value: 600 seconds   (10 minutes).   [ZAM-HOLDTIME]:  The holdtime to include in a ZAM.  This SHOULD be   set to at least 3 * [ZAM-INTERVAL].  Default value: 1860 seconds (31   minutes).Handley, et al.

[ZLE-SUPPRESSION-INTERVAL]:  The interval over which to choose a   random delay before sending a ZLE message.  Default value: 300   seconds (5 minutes).   [ZLE-MIN-INTERVAL]:  The minimum interval between sending ZLE   messages, regardless of destination.  Default value: 300 seconds (5   minutes).   [NIM-INTERVAL]:  The interval at which a Zone Boundary Router   originates Not-Inside Messages.  Default value: 1800 seconds (30   minutes).   [NIM-HOLDTIME]:   The holdtime to include the state within a NIM.   This SHOULD be set to at least 3 * [NIM-INTERVAL]. Default value:   5460 (91 minutes)8.  Security Considerations   While unauthorized reading of MZAP messages is relatively innocuous   (so encryption is generally not an issue), accepting unauthenticated   MZAP messages can be problematic.  Authentication of MZAP messages   can be provided by using the IPsec Authentication Header (AH) [12].   In the case of ZCMs and ZLEs, an attacker can cause false logging of   convexity and leakage problems.  It is likely that is would be purely   an annoyance, and not cause any significant problem.  (Such messages   could be authenticated, but since they may be sent within large   scopes, the receiver may not be able to authenticate a non-malicious   sender.)   ZAMs and NIMs, on the other hand, are sent within the Local Scope,   where assuming a security relationship between senders and receivers   is more practical.Handley, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 23]

RFC 2776                          MZAP                     February 2000   In the case of NIMs, accepting unauthenticated messages can cause the   false cancellation of nesting relationships.  This would cause a   section of the hierarchy of zones to flatten.  Such a flattening   would lessen the efficiency benefits afforded by the hierarchy but   would not cause it to become unusable.   Accepting unauthenticated ZAM messages, however, could cause   applications to believe that a scope zone exists when it does not.   If these were believed, then applications may choose to use this   non-existent administrative scope for their uses.  Such applications   would be able to communicate successfully, but would be unaware that   their traffic may be traveling further than they expected.  As a   result, any application accepting unauthenticated ZAMs MUST only take   scope names as a guideline, and SHOULD assume that their traffic sent   to non-local scope zones might travel anywhere.  The confidentiality   of such traffic CANNOT be assumed from the fact that it was sent to a   scoped address that was discovered using MZAP.   In addition, ZAMs are used to inform Multicast Address Allocation   Servers (MAASs) of names and address ranges of scopes, and accepting   unauthenticated ZAMs could result in false names being presented to   users, and in wrong addresses being allocated to users.  To counter   this, MAAS's authenticate ZAMs as follows:   (1) A ZBR signs all ZAMs it originates (using an AH).   (2) A ZBR signs a ZAM it relays if and only if it can authenticate       the previous sender.  A ZBR MUST still forward un-authenticated       ZAMs (to provide leak detection), but should propagate an       authenticated ZAM even if an un-authenticated one was received       with the last [ZAM-DUP-TIME] seconds.   (3) A MAAS SHOULD be configured with the public key of the local zone       in which it resides.  A MAAS thus configured SHOULD ignore an       unauthenticated ZAM if an authenticated one for the same scope       has been received, and MAY ignore all unauthenticated ZAMs.9.
