RFC 6089                      Flow Binding                  January 20111.  Introduction   Mobile IPv6 [RFC3775], Dual-Stack MIPv6 (DSMIPv6) [RFC5555], and   Network Mobility (NEMO) Basic Support [RFC3963] allow a mobile node /   mobile router to manage its mobility using the binding update   message, which binds one care-of address to one home address and   associated mobile networks.  The binding update message can be sent   to the home agent.  In Mobile IPv6, the binding update can also be   sent to a correspondent node or to a mobility anchor point (see   [RFC5380]).  The semantics of the binding update are limited to   care-of address changes.  That is, [RFC3775], [RFC5555], and   [RFC3963] do not allow a mobile node / mobile router to bind more   than one address to the home address.  In [RFC5648], Mobile IPv6 and   NEMO Basic Support are extended to allow the binding of more than one   care-of address to a home address.  This specification further   extends Mobile IPv6, DSMIPv6, and NEMO Basic Support to allow them to   specify policies associated with each binding.  A policy can contain   a request for special treatment of a particular IPv4 or IPv6 flow,   which is viewed as a group of packets matching a traffic selector.   Hence, this specification allows a mobile node / mobile router to   bind a particular flow to a care-of address without affecting other   flows using the same home address.  In addition, this specification   allows to bind a particular flow to a particular care-of address   directly with correspondent node and mobility agents (i.e., home   agents [RFC3775] and mobility anchor points [RFC5380]).   In this document, a flow is defined as a set of IP packets matching a   traffic selector.  A traffic selector can identify the source and   destination IP addresses, transport protocol number, the source and   destination port numbers and other fields in IP and higher-layer   headers.  This specification does not define traffic selectors, which   are going to be defined in other specifications.  This specification,   however, does define the traffic selector sub-option format to be   used for any specific traffic selector.   Using the flow identifier option introduced in this specification, a   mobile node / mobile router can bind one or more flows to a care-of   address while maintaining the reception of other flows on another   care-of address.  The mobile node / mobile router assembles the flow   binding requests based on local policies, link characteristics, and   the types of applications running at the time.  Such policies are   outside the scope of this document.   It should be noted that the flow identification mobility option can   be associated with any binding update, whether it is sent to a   mobility agent or a correspondent node.Tsirtsis, et al.

RFC 6089                      Flow Binding                  January 2011   Note that per-packet load balancing may have negative impacts on TCP   congestion avoidance mechanisms as it is desirable to maintain order   between packets belonging to the same TCP connection.  This behavior   is specified in [RFC2702].  Other negative impacts are also foreseen   for other types of real-time connections due to the potential   variations in round-trip time between packets.  Moreover, per-packet   load-balancing will negatively affect traffic with anti-replay   protection mechanisms.  Hence, per-packet load balancing is not   envisioned in this specification.   In the rest of the document, the term "mobile node" is used to   designate either a mobile node as defined in [RFC3775] and [RFC5648],   or a mobile router as defined in [RFC3963] unless stated otherwise.2.  Requirements Notation   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].3.  Terminology   Terms used in this document are defined in [RFC3753] and [RFC4885].   The following terms are also used in this document:      Flow: A flow is a sequence of packets for which the mobile node      (MN) desires special handling either by the home agent (HA), the      corresponding node (CN) or the mobility anchor point (MAP).      Traffic Selector: One or more parameters that can be matched      against fields in the packet's headers for the purpose of      classifying a packet.  Examples of such parameters include the      source and destination IP addresses, transport protocol number,      the source and destination port numbers, and other fields in IP      and higher-layer headers.      Flow binding: It consists of a traffic selector, and one or more      binding identifiers (BIDs).  IP packets from one or more flows      that match the traffic selector associated with the flow binding      are forwarded to the BIDs associated with the same flow binding.      Flow Identifier: A flow identifier uniquely identifies a flow      binding associated with a mobile node.  It is generated by a      mobile node and is cached in the table of flow binding entries      maintained by the MN, HA, CN, or MAP.Tsirtsis, et al.

Mobile IPv6 Extensions   This section introduces extensions to Mobile IPv6 that are necessary   for supporting the flow binding mechanism described in this document.4.1.  Definition Update for Binding Identifier Mobility Option   This specification updates the definition of the Binding Identifier   Mobility option defined in [RFC5648], as follows:                            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                                       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+                                       |   Type = 35   |     Length    |       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+       |       Binding ID (BID)        |     Status    |H|   BID-PRI   |       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-------------------------------+       +                                                               +       :                 IPv4 or IPv6 Care-of Address (CoA)            :       +                                                               +       +---------------------------------------------------------------+             Figure 1: The Binding Identifier Mobility Option      BID-PRI         This is a 7-bit unsigned integer placing each BID to a relative         priority (PRI) with other registered BIDs.  Value '0' is         reserved and MUST NOT be used.  A lower number in this field         indicates a higher priority, while BIDs with the same BID-PRI         value have equal priority meaning that, the BID used is an         implementation issue.  This is consistent with current practice         in packet classifiers.4.2.  Flow Identification Mobility Option   The flow identification mobility option is a new mobility option   [RFC3775], and it is included in the binding update and   acknowledgement messages.  This option contains information that   allows the receiver of a binding update to install policies on a   traffic flow and route it to a given care-of address.  Multiple   options may exist within the same binding update message.  The   alignment requirement for this option is 2n.Tsirtsis, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 5]

FID         The Flow Identifier field is a 16-bit unsigned integer that         includes the unique identifier for the flow binding.  This         field is used to refer to an existing flow binding or to create         a new flow binding.  The value of this field is set by the         mobile node.  FID = 0 is reserved and MUST NOT be used.      FID-PRI         This is a 16-bit unsigned integer priority field to indicate         the priority of a particular option.  This field is needed in         cases where two different flow descriptions in two different         options overlap.  The priority field decides which policy         should be executed in those cases.  A lower number in this         field indicates a higher priority.  Value '0' is reserved and         MUST NOT be used.  FID-PRI MUST be unique to each of the flows         pertaining to a given MN.  In other words, two FIDs MUST NOT be         associated with the same FID-PRI value.      Status         This 8-bit unsigned integer field indicates the success or         failure of the flow binding operation for the particular flow         in the option.  This field is not relevant to the binding         update message as a whole or to other flow identification         options.  This field is only relevant when included in the         Binding Acknowledgement message and must be ignored in theTsirtsis, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 6]

When         processing a flow identification mobility option containing an         option for which the sub-option Type value is not recognized by         the receiver, the receiver MUST silently ignore and skip over         the sub-option, correctly handling any remaining sub-options in         the same option.Tsirtsis, et al.

RFC 6089                      Flow Binding                  January 2011      Sub-Opt Len         8-bit unsigned integer, representing the length in octets of         the flow identification sub-option.  This field indicates the         length of the sub-option not including the Sub-Opt Type and         Sub-Opt Length fields.  Note that Sub-Opt Type '0'         (Section 4.2.1.1) is a special case that does not take a Sub-         Opt Length field.      Sub-Option Data         A variable length field that contains data specific to the sub-         option.   The following subsections specify the sub-option Types that are   currently defined for use in the flow identification option.   Implementations MUST silently ignore any sub-options that they do not   understand.   These sub-options may have alignment requirements.  Following the   convention in [RFC3775], regarding mobility options, these sub-   options are aligned in a packet so that multi-octet values within the   sub-option Data field of each sub-option fall on natural boundaries   (i.e., fields of width n octets are placed at an integer multiple of   n octets from the start of the header, for n = 1, 2, 4, or 8).4.2.1.1.  Pad1   The Pad1 sub-option does not have any alignment requirements.  Its   format is as follows:          0          0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7         +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+         | Sub-Opt Type  |         +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+   Sub-Opt Type      0   NOTE: The format of the Pad1 sub-option is a special case -- it has   neither sub-option Length nor sub-option Data fields.   The Pad1 sub-option is used to insert one octet of padding in the   flow identification option.  If more than one octet of padding is   required, the PadN sub-option, described next, should be used rather   than multiple Pad1 sub-options.Tsirtsis, et al.

Sub-Opt Data      0 or more bytes set to 0 by the sender and ignored by the      receiver.   The PadN sub-option is used to insert two or more octets of padding   in the flow identification mobility option.  For N octets of padding,   the sub-option Length field contains the value N, and the sub-option   Data field consists of N-2 zero-valued octets.  PadN sub-option Data   MUST be ignored by the receiver.4.2.1.3.  Binding Reference Sub-Option   This section introduces the binding reference sub-option, included in   the flow identification mobility option.  A node MUST NOT include   more than one binding reference sub-options in a given flow binding   identification option.  The binding reference sub-option includes one   or more BIDs defined in Multiple Care-of Addresses (MCoA) [RFC5648].   This sub-option associates the flow described in a flow   identification mobility option with one or more registered BIDs.

Flow Bindings Entries List and Its Relationship to Binding Cache   The conceptual Mobile IPv6 binding cache was defined in [RFC3775] to   identify the mobile IP state maintained by the mobile node, mobility   agent, and correspondent node.  The binding cache includes, among   others, the mobile node's home address, the registered care-of   address, and the lifetime of the binding.  The binding cache has been   extended by [RFC5648] to include more than one care-of addresses and   to associate each of them with a binding identifier (BID).   This specification does not modify the Mobile IPv6 binding cache any   further.   Flow bindings can be thought of as a conceptual list of entries that   is separate from the binding cache.  The flow bindings list contains   an entry for each of the registered flow bindings.  Flow binding   entries point to an entry in the binding cache by means of the BID.   Each flow binding entry includes the following parameters:   o  FID (Flow Identifier): For a given mobile node, identified by its      primary home address, the FID MUST uniquely identify an entry,      i.e., a unique flow binding.  Each mobile node can only have a      single entry identified by a given FID at any one time.  A given      FID number space is used for all the addresses associated to a      given MN by the HA (e.g., via [RFC3963]).  Different mobile nodes      use the same FID number space.   o  A Traffic Selector: Included in a traffic selector sub-option.   o  BID(s): The list of BIDs associated with the entry as defined by      the binding reference sub-option included in the FID option that      created it.   o  Active/Inactive flag: This flag indicates whether the entry is      active or inactive.   o  FID-PRI: This field indicates the priority of the flow binding and      is used to break the tie between overlapping flow bindings.Tsirtsis, et al.             Standards Track                   [Page 12]

RFC 6089                      Flow Binding                  January 2011   The flow bindings list is associated with a given mobile node, and   the correspondent binding cache.  An entry in the flow bindings list,   however, is identified by the FID and the list is ordered according   to the FID-PRI field as defined in the FID option that created each   entry.   A valid BID is required to make the entry 'Active'.  If all of the   BIDs pointed to by a given entry are deregistered [RFC5648], the flow   binding entry becomes 'Inactive', in other words it does not affect   data traffic.  Note that an entry becomes 'Inactive' only if all of   the BIDs are deregistered.  If only some of the BIDs are still valid,   the invalid BIDs are simply ignored.   Also, note that the state described in this section is maintained by   the mobile node as well as in mobility agents and correspondent   nodes.  As such, the mobile node is fully aware of which BIDs are   valid at any time and which flow binding entries are active/inactive.Section 5 defines how these flow binding entries are manipulated by   the mobile node in detail.   As an example, the following represents an ordered flow binding entry   table for a mobile node that has registered multiple care-of   addresses and flow bindings.          FID-PRI     FID    Traffic Selector    BIDs      A/I          -------     ---    ----------------    ----    -------             10        4           TCP            2       Active             30        2       srcAddr=IPy        4      Inactive             40        5           UDP           1,3      Active                       Ordered Flow Binding Entries   According to the above list of flow binding entries, all TCP traffic   will match the first entry, and will be forwarded to BID2,   corresponding to a given care-of address (IP3), as shown below.   The second entry is marked as 'Inactive' since the BID 4 does not   exist in the ordered list of BID entries below.  Inactive entries do   not affect traffic, i.e., packets are not matched against them.   Any UDP traffic that does not match any of the earlier entries will   match the third rule, at which point it will be replicated and   forwarded to BIDs 1 and 3, corresponding to care-of addresses IP1 and   IP2 shown below.Tsirtsis, et al.             Standards Track                   [Page 13]

RFC 6089                      Flow Binding                  January 2011   Finally, any remaining packets that do not match any of the entries   above will be simply forwarded to the care-of address indicated by   the highest order BID in the table below.  In the example, such   packets will be forwarded to BID1 corresponding to care-of address   IP1.                       BID-PRI          BID        CoA                      ---------         ---        ---                          20             1         IP1                          30             3         IP2                          30             2         IP3                            Ordered BID Entries   Mobility agent and corresponding node implementations should take   care to avoid flow binding rules affecting the fundamental operation   of Mobile IPv6 and its extensions.  In particular, flow binding rules   MUST NOT apply to Mobile IPv6 signaling generated by mobility agents   and corresponding nodes communicating with a given mobile node, since   that could adversely affect the operation of the protocol.  Other,   non-MIPv6 traffic generated by these entities SHOULD be matched   against the mobile node's flow binding rules as normal.5.  Protocol Operations5.1.  General   This specification introduces a flow bindings list of entries and an   ordered list of flow binding identifiers, allowing mobile nodes to   associate flow binding policies with the registered care-of   addresses.   The flow identification mobility option defines how the mobile node   can control a set of flow binding entries maintained in a mobility   agent, or correspondent node.   This specification allows mobile nodes to direct flows to a   particular care-of address.  The granularity of what constitutes a   flow depends on the traffic selector used.   The remainder of this section discusses how mobile nodes can use the   options and sub-options defined in this document when sending binding   updates to the correspondent node, home agent, or mobility anchor   point.  In addition, refresh, deletion, and modification of flow   binding entries are all discussed below.Tsirtsis, et al.             Standards Track                   [Page 14]

RFC 6089                      Flow Binding                  January 20115.1.1.  Preferred Care-of Address   Any node that supports this specification MUST maintain an ordered   list of care-of addresses for each mobile node for which it maintains   a list of flow bindings.  The ordered list of care-of addresses is   built based on the BID-PRI field of the binding identifier mobility   option (seeSection 4.1).   The ordered list of BIDs is used to determine how to forward a packet   to a given mobile node when the packet does not match any of the flow   binding entries defined inSection 4.3.  A packet that does not match   any of the flow binding entries SHOULD be forwarded to the care-of   address identified by the BID with the highest priority, i.e., lowest   BID-PRI value.5.2.  Mobile Node Considerations   This specification allows the mobile node to maintain several   bindings with its mobility agent and correspondent nodes, and it   allows it to direct packets to different care-of addresses according   to flow bindings.   The mobility agent and correspondent node list of flow bindings is   manipulated by the mobile node, via flow identification and flow   summary mobility options included in binding update messages.  Each   flow binding update can add, modify, refresh, or delete a given   binding.  More than one flow identification mobility option MAY be   included in the same binding update, but each of them MUST include a   different FID.  In other words, two flow identification options in   the same message cannot be about the same flow binding.   All flow binding state MUST be refreshed in every binding update the   mobile node sends.  Any previously registered flow binding that is   not included in a given binding update will be deleted.  So, any flow   bindings that are not added or modified by a flow identification   mobility option, but have previously registered and need to be   maintained, MUST be included in a flow summary mobility option.5.2.1.  Sending BU with BID Options   This specification (seeSection 4.1) updates the definition of the   binding identifier mobility option, originally defined in [RFC5648].   According to this specification, the BID option includes a BID-PRI   field assigning each registered care-of address a priority, and thus   places them in an ordered list, as also described inSection 4.3.   To ensure backwards compatibility with [RFC5648], for the purpose of   this specification, the field BID-PRI MUST NOT be set to zero.Tsirtsis, et al.             Standards Track                   [Page 15]

RFC 6089                      Flow Binding                  January 2011   Receiver implementation of this specification will take a BID-PRI   field of value zero as an indication that this is a BID option of the   format defined in [RFC5648].   Mobile nodes supporting this specification MUST use the BID option   format defined inSection 4.1.  Mobile nodes MUST also register all   care-of addresses using the updated BID option format, either in the   same BU as any flow identification mobility options using them or in   earlier BUs.5.2.2.  Sending BU with Flow Identification Mobility Options5.2.2.1.  New Flow Bindings   When adding a new flow binding, a mobile node sends the flow   identification mobility option in the binding update, with the FID   field set to a value that is not already present in the list of flow   binding entries maintained by the receiver.  The care-of address(es)   associated with each flow identification mobility option in the   binding update must be logically registered by this binding update,   or must have already been registered by the receiver of the binding   update in an earlier binding update, as defined inSection 5.2.1.   The flow identification mobility option MUST include a unique flow   identifier in the FID field.  The FID need only be unique for the   receiver of the binding update and for the same sender, i.e., the   same FID can be used across different receivers of the binding   update, for the same sender.  The FID-PRI field is set to the desired   unique priority of the FID, defining the order of the flow binding to   be added in the list of flow binding entries, as defined inSection 4.3.  The Status field is set to zero in all binding update   messages.   Since this flow identification mobility option is requesting the   addition of a new flow binding in the list of flow bindings   maintained by the receiver, the mobile node MUST include exactly one   traffic selector sub-option (seeSection 4.2.1.4) describing the flow   associated with the new flow binding.  The TS Format field of the   traffic selector sub-option MUST be set to the non-zero value of the   format used by the mobile node.   The mobile node MUST also include exactly one BID reference sub-   option (seeSection 4.2.1.3) to associate the flow binding with a   given set of BIDs and corresponding CoAs.Tsirtsis, et al.             Standards Track                   [Page 16]

RFC 6089                      Flow Binding                  January 20115.2.2.2.  Updating Flow Bindings   Flow binding modification is essentially a process where parameters   associated with an existing flow binding in the list of flow binding   entries are replaced by parameters included in the flow   identification mobility option, and the same FID is maintained.  With   this procedure, the mobile node can change the priority, the BID(s),   and/or the traffic selector associated with a flow binding.   To modify an existing flow binding, the mobile node MUST send a   binding update with a flow identification option, with the FID field   set to one of the FID values already in the list of flow binding   entries.  The FID-PRI field MUST be set to the priority value for the   flow binding entry.  The Status field is set to zero since this   option is in a binding update.   The mobile node MAY include exactly one traffic selector sub-option   (seeSection 4.2.1.4) describing the updated flow to be associated   with the flow binding.  The mobile node MAY, however, omit the   traffic selector sub-option if it wants the traffic selector   currently associated with the flow binding entry identified by the   FID field to be maintained.   The mobile node MAY include exactly one binding reference sub-option   (seeSection 4.2.1.3) to associate the existing flow binding with a   new set of CoAs.  The mobile node MAY omit the binding reference sub-   option if it wants the BIDs currently associated with the flow   binding entry identified by the FID field to be maintained.   Note that it is also possible for the mobile node to effectively   modify the effect of a flow binding entry without actually changing   the entry itself.  This can be done by changing the CoA associated   with a given BID, which is a process defined in detail in [RFC5648].5.2.3.  Sending BU with a Flow Summary Option   When the mobile node sends a binding update, it MUST refresh all flow   bindings it wants to maintain even if it does not want to change any   of their parameters.   To refresh an existing flow binding, the mobile node MUST send a   binding update with a flow summary option.  The flow summary option   MUST include one or more FID fields, as indicated inSection 4.2.2.   Each FID field included MUST be set to one of the FID values already   in the list of flow binding entries.  Each flow summary mobility   option can identify up to 127 FIDs, so more than one such option canTsirtsis, et al.             Standards Track                   [Page 17]

RFC 6089                      Flow Binding                  January 2011   be included in a binding update message as required.  A given FID   SHOULD NOT be included more than once in all of the flow summary   mobility options included in a given binding update message.   Any flow bindings (active or inactive) that are not identified in a   binding update will be removed from the list of flow binding entries.   Note that any inactive flow bindings, i.e., flow bindings without   associated BIDs that are marked as 'Inactive' in the list of flow   binding entries (seeSection 4.3), MUST also be refreshed, or   modified, to be maintained.  If they are not included in a BU   message, they will be removed.5.2.4.  Removing Flow Bindings   Removal of flow binding entries is performed implicitly by omission   of a given FID from a binding update.   To remove a flow binding, the MN simply sends a binding update   message that includes flow identification and flow summary mobility   options for all the FIDs that need to be refreshed, modified, or   added, and simply omits any FIDs that need to be removed.   Note that a mobile node can also render a flow binding inactive by   removing the BIDs associated with it, without removing the flow   binding itself.  The procedure for removing a BID is defined in   detail in [RFC5648].   When all the BIDs associated with a flow binding are removed, the   flow binding MUST be marked as 'Inactive' in the list of flow binding   entries, as shown inSection 4.3.  In other words, the state   associated with the flow binding MUST be maintained, but it no longer   affects the mobile node's traffic.  The MN can return an inactive   flow binding to the active state by using the flow binding   modification process, described inSection 5.2.2.2, to associate it   again with one or more valid BIDs.5.2.5.  Returning Home   This specification is compatible with the home registration   procedures defined in [RFC3775] and [RFC5648].  More specifically, if   the mobile node performs a deregistration in the [RFC3775] style, all   of its bindings, including flow bindings are deleted.  If the mobile   node, however, performs a home registration in the [RFC5648] style,   then the home link is associated with a specific BID and so, as far   as this specification is concerned, it is treated as any other link   associated with a given BID.Tsirtsis, et al.             Standards Track                   [Page 18]

RFC 6089                      Flow Binding                  January 20115.2.6.  Receiving Binding Acknowledgements   According to [RFC3775], all nodes are required to silently ignore   mobility options not understood while processing binding updates.  As   such, a mobile node receiving a Binding Acknowledgement message in   response to the transmission of a binding update message MUST   determine if the Binding Acknowledgement message contains a copy of   every flow identification mobility options included in the binding   update.  A Binding Acknowledgement without flow identification   option(s), in response to a binding update with flow identification   mobility option, would indicate the inability (or unwillingness) on   behalf of the source node to support the extensions presented in this   document.   If a received Binding Acknowledgement contains a copy of each flow   identification mobility option that was sent within the binding   update, the Status field of each flow identification option indicates   the status of the flow binding on the distant node.5.2.7.  Return Routability Procedure   A mobile node may perform route optimization with correspondent   nodes, as defined in [RFC3775].  Route optimization allows a mobile   node to bind a care-of address to a home address in order to allow   the correspondent node to direct the traffic to the current location   of the mobile node.  Before sending a binding update to correspondent   node, the Return Routability Procedure needs to be performed between   the mobile node and the correspondent node.  This procedure is not   affected by the extensions defined in this document.5.3.  HA, MAP, and CN Considerations   This specification allows the mobility agents (home agents and   mobility anchor points), and correspondent nodes to maintain several   flow bindings for a given home address and to direct packets to   different care-of addresses according to flow bindings.  This section   details the home agent operations necessary to implement this   specification.  These operations are identical for MAPs and CNs,   unless otherwise stated.   Note that route optimization is only defined for mobile nodes (MIPv6   [RFC3775]) and not mobile routers (NEMOv6 [RFC3963]).  Thus, these   sections only apply to correspondent nodes with respect to mobile   nodes and not mobile routers.Tsirtsis, et al.             Standards Track                   [Page 19]

RFC 6089                      Flow Binding                  January 20115.3.1.  Handling Binding Identifier Mobility Options   This specification (seeSection 4.1) updates the definition of the   binding identifier mobility option, originally defined in [RFC5648].   According to this specification, the BID option includes a BID-PRI   field assigning each registered care-of address a priority, and thus   places them in an ordered list (seeSection 4.3).   Home agents receiving BUs including BID options and flow   identification options MUST logically process BID options first.   This is because BID reference sub-options included in the flow   identification mobility options might refer to BIDs defined in BID   options included in the same message.   The BID option is processed as defined in [RFC5648], but then the BID   to care-of address mapping is placed in an ordered list according to   the BID-PRI field of the BID option.   Binding identifier registrations and deregistrations indirectly   affect the MN's flow binding entries.  The home agent MUST update the   flow binding entries table accordingly as BIDs are added or removed   (as per [RFC5648]).  For example, as discussed inSection 4.3, if all   of the BIDs associated with a given flow binding entry are removed   (i.e., become invalid) the entry MUST be marked as 'Inactive'.  While   if any of the invalid BIDs associated with an inactive flow binding   entry are registered (i.e., become valid), the entry MUST be marked   as 'Active'.5.3.2.  Handling Flow Identification Mobility Options   When the home agent receives a binding update that includes at least   one flow identification mobility option, it first performs the   operation described insection 10.3.1 of RFC 3775, followed by the   operations defined inSection 5.3.1 of this document.   Home agents that do not support this specification will ignore the   flow identification mobility options and all their sub-options,   having no effect on the operation of the rest of the protocol.   If the binding update is accepted, and the home agent is willing to   support flow bindings for this MN, the home agent checks the flow   identification mobility options.   If more than one flow identification mobility option in the same BU   has the same value in the FID field, all the flow identification   mobility options MUST be rejected.Tsirtsis, et al.

Handling New FIDs   If the FID field of the flow identification mobility option is not   already present in the list of flow binding entries for this mobile   node, then this is a request for a new entry.      If the flow identification mobility option does not include a      traffic selector sub-option, the home agent MUST reject this      request by copying the flow identification mobility option in the      Binding Acknowledgement (BA) and setting the Status field to the      value defined in Figure 2 for "Flow identification option      malformed".      If the flow identification option does include a traffic selector      sub-option, but the format indicated in the TS Format field is not      supported, the home agent MUST reject this request by copying the      flow identification mobility option in the BA, and setting the      Status field to the value defined in Figure 2 for "Traffic      Selector format not supported".   Then, the home agent MUST check the binding reference sub-option.      If the binding reference sub-option is not included, the home      agent MUST reject this request by copying the flow identification      mobility option in the BA and setting the Status field to the      value defined for "Flow identification mobility option malformed"      inSection 4.2.      If the binding reference sub-option is present and includes one or      more BIDs that are not present in the binding cache of the mobile      node, the home agent MUST reject this request by copying the flow      identification option in the BA and setting the Status field to      the value defined for "BID not found" inSection 4.2.      If the binding reference sub-option is present and includes one or      more BIDs, and the BIDs exist in the mobile node's binding cache,      the home agent SHOULD add a new entry in the mobile node's list of      flow binding entries, as defined below.   When the home agent decides to add an entry in the mobile node's list   of flow binding entries, as discussed above, it MUST do it according   to the following rules: the entry MUST be placed according to the   order indicated by the FID-PRI field of the flow identification   mobility option and it MUST include:Tsirtsis, et al.

RFC 6089                      Flow Binding                  January 2011      the FID as a key to the entry,      the traffic selector included in the corresponding sub-option,      the BIDs indicated in the binding reference sub-option, and      the entry MUST be marked as 'Active', as shown inSection 4.3.5.3.2.2.  Handling Known FIDs   If the FID field of the flow identification mobility option is   already present in the list of flow binding entries for this mobile   node, then this is a request to update the existing entry.   The flow binding modification is essentially a process where   parameters associated with an existing flow binding entry are   replaced by the parameters included in a flow identification mobility   option with the same FID as the existing entry.   The home agent MUST change the priority of the entry according to the   FID-PRI field of the flow identification mobility option.   Since this flow identification mobility option is designed to update   an existing entry, it may or may not include a traffic selector sub-   option.  Specifically:      if a traffic selector sub-option is not included in the flow      identification mobility option, then the traffic selector already      associated with entry MUST be maintained;      otherwise, the traffic selector in the entry MUST be replaced by      the traffic selector in the sub-option.   Since this flow identification mobility option is designed to update   an existing entry, it may or may not include a binding reference sub-   option.  Specifically:      if a binding reference sub-option is not included in the flow      identification mobility option, then the BIDs already associated      with entry MUST be maintained;      otherwise, the BIDs in the entry MUST be replaced by the BIDs in      the sub-option.Tsirtsis, et al.

RFC 6089                      Flow Binding                  January 20115.3.3.  Handling Flow Summary Mobility Option   When the home agent receives a binding update that includes flow   summary mobility options, it first performs the operation described   so far inSection 5.3.   If the value of any of the FID fields included in a flow summary   mobility option is not present in the list of flow binding entries   for this mobile node, the home agent MUST reject this flow binding   refresh by including a flow identification mobility option in the BA   for each FID that is not found, and by setting the FID field to the   value of the FID that is not found and the Status field to the value   defined for "FID not found" inSection 4.2.   If the value of the FID field is present in the mobile nodes list of   flow binding entries the, home agent SHOULD refresh the flow binding   entry identified by the FID without changing any of the other   parameters associated with it.   If a given FID is included more than once in the same or different   flow summary mobility options in the same binding update message, the   duplicates can be simply ignored.   Note that, an [RFC3775] deregistration binding update (with a zero   lifetime) would result in deleting all bindings, including all flow   bindings regardless of the presence of flow summary mobility options.   A binding update (with a zero lifetime) would result in deleting all   bindings, including all flow bindings regardless of the presence of   flow summary mobility options.  A specific binding deregistration,   however, as defined in [RFC5648] (with lifetime of zero and one or   more binding identifier mobility options identifying specific BIDs)   does not remove all the bindings for the MN, and thus it SHOULD   include flow summary mobility options to maintain the flow bindings   that need to be preserved.5.3.4.  Flow Binding Removals   Removal of flow bindings is performed implicitly by omission of a   given FID from a binding update.   When a valid binding update is received, any registered FIDs that are   not explicitly referred to in a flow identification mobility option   or in a flow summary mobility option, in the same binding update,   MUST be removed from the list of flow binding entries for the mobile   node.Tsirtsis, et al.             Standards Track                   [Page 23]

RFC 6089                      Flow Binding                  January 20115.3.5.  Sending Binding Acknowledgements   Upon the reception of a binding update, the home agent is required to   send back a Binding Acknowledgement.  The status code in the Binding   Acknowledgement must be set as recommended in [RFC3775].  This status   code does not give information on the success or failure of flow   bindings.   In order to inform the mobile node about the status of the flow   binding(s) requested by a mobile node, flow identification options   SHOULD be included in the Binding Acknowledgement message.   Specifically, the home agent SHOULD copy each flow identification   mobility option received in the binding update and set its status   code to an appropriate value.  Note that the home agent does not need   to respond specifically regarding FIDs included in a flow summary   mobility option but only to those in flow identification mobility   options.  If an operation requested in a flow identification option   by a mobile node is performed successfully by the home agent, the   Status field on the copied flow identification mobility option in the   BA, SHOULD be set to the value defined for "Flow binding successful"   inSection 4.2; otherwise, it SHOULD be set to one of the rejection   codes also defined inSection 4.2.Section 5.3.2 identifies a number   of cases where specific error codes should be used.   Home agents that support this specification MAY refuse to maintain   flow bindings by setting the Status field of any flow identification   mobility options to the value defined for "Administratively   prohibited" inSection 4.2, or by just ignoring all the flow binding   options.   Note that BID options and their Status field are handled as defined   in [RFC5648].  The BID-PRI field in a BID option included in the   Binding Acknowledgement is copied from the BID-PRI field of the   corresponding BID option in the binding request.5.3.6.  Packet Processing   This section defines packet processing rules according to this   specification.  This specification does not change any of the packet   interception rules defined in [RFC3775] and [RFC5555].  These rules   apply to HAs, MAPs, and CNs as part of the routing process for any   packet with a destination address set to a valid home address of the   mobile node.  For nodes other than CNs, this also applies to packets   with a destination address set to an address under any of the   registered prefixes.  These rules apply equally to IPv6 packets as   well as to IPv4 packets as per [RFC5555].Tsirtsis, et al.             Standards Track                   [Page 24]

RFC 6089                      Flow Binding                  January 2011   Before a packet is forwarded to the mobile node, it MUST be matched   against the ordered list of flow bindings stored in the list of flow   binding entries for this mobile node (seeSection 4.3).  A match is   attempted with the traffic selector included in the first line   (highest order) of the table.  The first entry that creates a match   defines how the packet is routed.  When a packet matches the traffic   selector of a given entry, a copy of the packet is forwarded to each   of the care-of addresses associated with the BIDs indicated in the   same line of the table.   If any of the BIDs indicated does not correspond to a valid care-of   address, e.g., the BID was deregistered then, that BID has no effect   on the traffic.  In other words, packets matching the flow binding   are forwarded to the remaining BIDs, pointing to registered care-of   addresses.  If none of the BIDs pointed to in a flow binding entry is   valid, then the entry is considered to be inactive (as defined inSection 4.3) and is skipped.  In other words, packets should not be   matched against that entry.   If a packet does not match any of the active flow binding entries for   the given MN, the packet SHOULD be forwarded to the highest order   care-of address, i.e., the one associated with the BID with the   lowest BID-PRI.   If a packet is fragmented, only the first fragment contains all IP   and transport layer headers, while subsequent fragments only contain   an IP header without transport layer headers.  For this reason, it is   possible that subsequent fragments do not match the same traffic   selector as the initial fragment of such a packet.  Unless specific   measures are taken, the likely outcome is that the initial fragment   is routed as the MN intended while subsequent fragments are routed   differently, and probably based on the default flow binding.  HAs,   MAPs, and CNs SHOULD take care to forward all fragments of a given   packet the same way, and in accordance to the flow binding matching   the first fragment of said packet.  This should be possible given the   fact that fragment headers include enough information to identify a   fragment as part of a specific packet, but the details of how this is   ensured are implementation specific and are not defined in this   specification.6.  MTU Considerations   The options and sub-options defined in this specification add to   those defined in [RFC3775] and other related specifications, all of   which potentially add to the size of binding update messages.   Implementations SHOULD take care to minimize fragmentation by forming   binding updates that are shorter than what the path MTU allows   whenever possible.Tsirtsis, et al.             Standards Track                   [Page 25]

RFC 6089                      Flow Binding                  January 2011   This specification offers a number of mechanisms for reducing the   size of binding updates.  The operations defined in this   specification that require the most verbose options are those   registering new BIDs,Section 4.1, and identifying new flows,Section 4.2.1.4.  Implementations are encouraged to keep binding   updates to sizes below that of the path's MTU by making full use of   the BID reference sub-option,Section 4.2.1.3, and flow summary   option,Section 4.2.2, which allows them to refer to already   registered care-of addresses and flow bindings, while registering new   ones in subsequent binding update messages.7.  Security considerations   This document introduces a new option that adds more granularity to   the binding update and acknowledgement messages defined in [RFC3775],   [RFC5555], and [RFC3963], so it inherits the security considerations   discussed in these documents.  The new option allows the mobile node   to associate some flows to one interface and other flows to another   interface.  Since the flow identification mobility option is part of   the mobility header, it uses the same security as the binding update,   whether it is sent to a mobility agent or to a correspondent node.   This specification does not open up new fundamental lines of attack   on communications between the MN and its correspondent nodes.   However, it allows attacks of a finer granularity than those on the   binding update.  For instance, the attacker can divert or replicate   flows of special interest to the attacker to an address of the   attacker's choosing, if the attacker is able to impersonate the MN or   modify a binding update sent by the MN.  Hence, it becomes doubly   critical that authentication and integrity services are applied to   binding updates.   Finally, when the optional anti-replay feature of Encapsulating   Security Payload (ESP) [RFC4303] is employed and packets to/from   different CoAs are sent on the same security association (SA), some   packets could be discarded at the receiver due to the windowing   mechanism used by this feature.  Therefore, a sender SHOULD put   traffic to/from different CoAs, but with the same HoA in the selector   values, on different SAs to support Multiple Care-of Addresses   appropriately.  To permit this, the IPsec implementation SHOULD   establish and maintain multiple SAs between a given sender and   receiver, with the same selectors.  Distribution of traffic among   these parallel SAs to support Multiple Care-of Addresses is locally   determined by the sender and is not negotiated by the Internet Key   Exchange version 2 (IKEv2) protocol [RFC5996].  The receiver will   process the packets from the different SAs without prejudice.Tsirtsis, et al.             Standards Track                   [Page 26]

RFC 6089                      Flow Binding                  January 20118.  IANA Considerations   This specification requires the following IANA assignments on   existing namespaces as well as the creation of some new namespaces.      New Mobility Options [RFC3775]: This registry is available fromhttp://www.iana.org under "Mobile IPv6 parameters".  The following      type numbers have been assigned for:         44 Flow Identification Mobility Option, defined inSection 4.2         45 Flow Summary Mobility Option, defined inSection 4.2.2      A new "Flow Identification Mobility Option Status Codes" namespace      has been created.  The following 'Status' codes are defined in      this specification, inSection 4.2:         0 Flow binding successful         1-127 Unassigned.  Available for success codes to be allocated         via Standards Action or IESG Approval as per [RFC5226].         128 Administratively prohibited         129 Flow binding rejected, reason unspecified         130 Flow identification mobility option malformed         131 BID not found         132 FID not found         133 Traffic selector format not supported         134-250 Unassigned.  Available for reject codes to be allocated         via Standards Action or IESG Approval as per [RFC5226].         251-255 Reserved for experimental use.  This small number of         status codes should be sufficient for experiments with         currently unforeseen error conditions.Tsirtsis, et al.             Standards Track                   [Page 27]

RFC 6089                      Flow Binding                  January 2011      A new "Flow Identification Sub-Options" namespace for the flow      identification mobility option has been created.  The sub-option      space is defined in Figure 3.  The following sub-option Type      values are defined in this specification:         0 Pad         1 PadN         2 BID Reference         3 Traffic Selector         4-250 Unassigned.  Available for allocation based on Standards         Action or IESG Approval as per [RFC5226].         251-255 Reserved for experimental use.  This small number of         sub-option Types should be sufficient for experiments with         additional parameters associated with a flow.      A new "Traffic Selector Format" namespace for the traffic selector      sub-option has been created.  The traffic selector format space is      defined by the TS Format field in Figure 5.  The following values      are defined in this specification:         0 Reserved         1-250 Unassigned.  Available for allocation based on Standards         Action or IESG Approval as per [RFC5226].         251-255 Reserved for experimental use.  This small number of         traffic selector format types should be sufficient for         experiments with different ways of representing a traffic         selector.   Similar to the procedures specified for Mobile IPv6 [RFC3775] number   spaces, future allocations from the new number spaces requires   Standards Action or IESG Approval as per [RFC5226].9.
