RFC 6284                      Port Mapping                     June 20111.  Introduction   In (any-source or source-specific) multicast RTP applications,   destination ports (i.e., the ports on which the multicast receivers   receive the RTP and RTP Control Protocol (RTCP) packets) are defined   declaratively.  In other words, the receivers cannot choose their   receive ports, and the sender(s) use the predefined ports.   In unicast RTP applications, the receiving end needs to choose its   ports for RTP and RTCP since these ports are local resources and only   the receiving end can determine which ports are available to use.  In   addition, Network Address Port Translation (NAPT, hereafter simply   called NAT) devices are commonly deployed in networks; thus, static   port assignments cannot be used.  The receiving end may convey its   request to the sending end through different ways, one of which is   the Offer/Answer Model [RFC3264] for the Session Description Protocol   (SDP) [RFC4566].  However, the Offer/Answer Model requires offer/   answer exchange(s) between the endpoints, and the resulting delay may   not be desirable in delay-sensitive real-time applications.   Furthermore, the Offer/Answer Model may be burdensome for the   endpoints that are concurrently running a large number of unicast   sessions with other endpoints.   In this specification, we consider an RTP application that uses one   or more unicast and multicast RTP sessions together.  While the   declaration and selection of the ports are well defined and work well   for multicast and unicast RTP applications, respectively, the usage   of the ports introduces complications when a receiving end mixes   unicast and multicast RTP sessions within the same RTP application.   An example scenario is where the RTP packets are distributed through   source-specific multicast (SSM) [RFC4607] and a receiver sends   unicast RTCP NACK feedback [RFC4585] to a local repair server (also   functioning as a unicast RTCP feedback target) [RFC5760] asking for a   retransmission of the packets it is missing, and the local repair   server sends the retransmission packets over a unicast RTP session   [RETRANSMISSION-FOR-SSM].   Another scenario is where a receiver wants to rapidly acquire a new   primary multicast RTP session and receives one or more RTP burst   packets over a unicast session before joining the SSM session; see   [RFC6285] regarding Rapid Acquisition of Multicast RTP Sessions   (RAMS).  Similar scenarios exist in applications where some part of   the content is distributed through multicast while the receivers get   additional and/or auxiliary content through one or more unicast   connections, as illustrated in Figure 1.Begen, et al.                Standards Track                    [Page 3]

RFC 6284                      Port Mapping                     June 2011   In this document, we discuss this problem and introduce a solution   that we refer to as port mapping.  This solution allows receivers to   choose their desired UDP ports for RTP and RTCP in every unicast   session when they are running RTP applications using both unicast and   multicast services and offer/answer exchange is not available.  The   solution includes a Token-based protection mechanism against denial-   of-service (DoS) or packet amplification attacks that could be used   to cause one or more RTP packets to be sent to a victim client.  This   solution is not applicable in cases where TCP is used as the   transport protocol in the unicast sessions.  For such scenarios,   refer to [RFC4145].          -----------         |  Unicast  |................         |  Source   |.............  :         | (Server)  |            :  :          -----------             :  :                                  v  v          -----------          ----------             -----------         | Multicast |------->|  Router  |---------->|Client RTP |         |  Source   |        |          |..........>|Application|          -----------          ----------             -----------                                   | :                                   | :                -----------                                   | :..............>|Client RTP |                                   +---------------->|Application|                                                      -----------         -------> Multicast RTP Flow         .......> Unicast RTP Flow     Figure 1: RTP Applications Simultaneously Using Both Unicast and                            Multicast Services   In the remainder of this document, we refer to the RTP endpoints that   serve other RTP endpoints over a unicast session as the Servers.  The   receiving RTP endpoints are referred to as Clients.  This terminology   also reflects the fact that when port mapping is used, the RTP   packets can only flow in one direction (from the server to the   client) in the unicast sessions.2.  Requirements Notation   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in   [RFC2119].Begen, et al.

RFC 6284                      Port Mapping                     June 20113.  Token-Based Port Mapping   Token-based port mapping consists of the server providing the client   a Token that can be used to establish a unicast session without the   possibility of an attacker redirecting traffic to an unsuspecting   third party to create a DoS attack.  The Token is essentially an   opaque encapsulation that is based on the client's IP address (as   seen by the server), a time-to-live value, and a random nonce   provided by the client.   Token-based port mapping consists of two steps: (i) Token request and   retrieval, and (ii) unicast session establishment.   When a Token request is received, the server creates a Token for this   particular client and sends it back to the client.   Once a Token is retrieved from a particular server, it can be used   for all the unicast sessions the client will be running with this   particular server until the Token expires.  By default, Tokens are   server specific.  However, the client can use the same Token to   communicate with different servers if these servers are provided with   the same secret key and algorithm used to generate the Token and are   at least loosely clock-synchronized.   The Token becomes invalid if the client's IP address (as seen by the   server) changes (note that the client cannot necessarily detect this   in a timely manner) or if the server expires the Token.  In these   cases, the client has to request a new Token.   As the second step, when the client wants to establish a unicast   session, the client includes the Token with its RTCP feedback   message.  The server validates the Token, making sure that the IP   address information matches.  This is effective against DoS attacks,   e.g., an attacker cannot simply spoof another client's IP address and   start a unicast transmission towards random clients.  If the   validation passes, the unicast session gets established.  Otherwise,   the server notifies the client that the validation has failed, and in   this case, the unicast session will not be established.   Upon successful validation and once the unicast session is   established, all the RTP and RTCP rules specified in [RFC3550] and   other relevant specifications also apply in this session until it is   terminated.  During the lifetime of a unicast session, a client might   need to send RTCP messages that require authorization.  Since such   messages require a valid Token for authorization, the client needs to   include the Token along with such RTCP messages as explained in   detail in later sections of this document.Begen, et al.

RFC 6284                      Port Mapping                     June 2011   Below, we first present a motivating scenario for port mapping and   then describe the normative behavior and requirements.3.1.  Motivating Scenario   Consider an SSM distribution network where a distribution source   multicasts RTP packets to a large number of clients, and one or more   retransmission servers function as feedback targets to collect   unicast RTCP feedback from these clients [RFC5760].  The   retransmission servers also join the multicast session to receive the   multicast packets and cache them for a certain time period.  When a   client detects missing packets in the multicast session, it requests   a retransmission from one of the retransmission servers by using an   RTCP NACK message [RFC4585].  The retransmission server pulls the   requested packet(s) out of the cache and retransmits them to the   requesting client [RETRANSMISSION-FOR-SSM].   The RTP and RTCP flows pertaining to the scenario described above are   illustrated in Figure 2.  Between the client and server, we assume   there exists at least one NAT device [RFC4787].  (If there are no NAT   devices between the server and client, the method still works in the   same fashion.)  The multicast and unicast sessions are clearly   identified with their individual RTP and RTCP flows and port numbers.Begen, et al.                Standards Track                    [Page 6]

The clients listen to these      ports to receive the multicast RTP and RTCP packets.  Ports P1 and      P2 are defined declaratively.Begen, et al.                Standards Track                    [Page 7]

RFC 6284                      Port Mapping                     June 2011   o  Port P3 denotes the RTCP port on the feedback target running on      the retransmission server to collect any RTCP packet sent by the      clients, including feedback messages and RTCP receiver and      extended reports.  This is also the port that the retransmission      server uses to send the RTP packets and RTCP sender reports in the      unicast session.  Port P3 is defined declaratively.   o  Port P4 denotes the RTCP port on the retransmission server used to      collect the RTCP receiver and extended reports for the unicast      session.  Port P4 is defined declaratively.   o  Ports *c0, *c1, and *c2 are chosen by the client.  (Note: "*"      indicates that the port can be chosen randomly; once chosen, the      "*" is no longer used.) *c0 denotes the port on the client used to      send the RTCP reports for the multicast session. *c1 denotes the      port on the client used to send the unicast RTCP feedback messages      in the multicast session and to receive the RTP packets and RTCP      sender reports in the unicast session. *c2 denotes the port on the      client used to send the RTCP receiver and extended reports in the      unicast session.  Ports c0, c1, and c2 could be the same port or      different ports.  There are two advantages of using the same port      for both c0 and c1:      1.  Some NATs only keep bindings active when a packet goes from          the inside to the outside of the NAT (see REQ-6 ofSection 4.3          of [RFC4787]).  When the gap between the packets sent from the          client to the server is long, this can exceed the timeout          limit.  If c0=c1, the occasional (periodic) RTCP receiver          reports sent from port c0 (for the multicast session's RTCP          port P3) will ensure the NAT does not time out the public port          associated with the incoming unicast traffic to port c1.      2.  Having c0=c1 conserves NAT port bindings.   o  Ports PT and *cT denote the ports through which the Token request      and retrieval occur at the server and client sides, respectively.      Port PT is declared on a per-unicast-session basis, although the      same port could be used for two or more unicast sessions sourced      by the server.  A Token once requested and retrieved by a client      from port PT remains valid until its expiration time.   We assume that the information declaratively defined is available as   part of the session description information and is provided to the   clients.  The Session Description Protocol (SDP) [RFC4566] and other   session description methods can be used for this purpose.Begen, et al.                Standards Track                    [Page 8]

RFC 6284                      Port Mapping                     June 20113.2.  Normative Behavior and Requirements   In this section, we describe the normative behavior and requirements.   To simplify the presentation, we refer to the port numbers described   in the example presented in Figure 2.  However, the behavior and   requirements described here are not specific to that particular   example and can be applied to any scenario where analogous ports can   be identified.   First of all, a client compliant with this specification MUST be able   to include a Token with any type of RTCP message (as described below)   when it is needed.   Second, the solution provided in this specification is not applicable   in cases where there is RTP traffic flowing from the client to the   server in the unicast session.  In other words, the direction of RTP   traffic MUST be only from the server to the client in the unicast   session.  If the client wants to send RTP traffic back to the server,   the regular session establishment methods such as [RFC3264] need to   be used.   The following steps summarize the Token-based solution:   1.  The client ascertains server address and port numbers (P3, P4 and       PT) from the session description.  Port P4 MUST be different from       port P3.  Port PT MAY be equal to port P3.   2.  The client selects its local port numbers (*c0, *c1, *c2 and       *cT).  It is strongly RECOMMENDED that the client uses the same       port for c0 and c1.  Port cT MAY be equal to ports c0 and c1.   3.  If the client does not have a Token (or the existing Token has       expired):       A.  The client first sends a Port Mapping Request message           (Section 4.1) to port PT.  This message is sent from port cT           on the client side.  The server learns the client's IP           address from the received message.  The client can send this           message anytime it wants (e.g., during initialization) and           does not normally ever need to resend this message (seeSection 6).       B.  The server generates an opaque encapsulation (i.e., the           Token) based on certain information, including the client's           IP address.Begen, et al.

RFC 6284                      Port Mapping                     June 2011       C.  The server sends the Token back to the client using a Port           Mapping Response message (Section 4.2).  This message MUST be           sent from port PT towards port cT.   4.  The client needs to provide the Token to the server using a Token       Verification Request message (Section 4.3) whenever the client       sends an RTCP feedback message for triggering or controlling a       unicast session (seeSection 4.3.1).  If the Token is invalid or       missing, the server sends a Token Verification Failure message       (Section 4.4) to the client.       Note that the unicast session is only established after the       server has received a feedback message (along with a valid Token)       from the client for which it needs to react by sending unicast       data.  Until a unicast session is established, neither the server       nor the client needs to send RTCP reports for the unicast       session.   5.  Normal flows ensue as shown in Figure 2.  It is strongly       RECOMMENDED that the client uses the same port for both c0 and       c1, as this causes the periodic RTCP reports to keep the NAT       mapping alive.  However, if the client uses different ports for       c0 and c1, the client MUST keep its own NAT mapping alive for the       P3->c1 session (see [RFC6263] for additional information).       In the unicast session, traffic from the server to the client       (i.e., both the RTP and RTCP packets sent from port P3 towards       port c1) MUST be multiplexed on the same port [RFC5761].       The client sends the RTCP receiver and extended reports in the       unicast session from port c2 towards port P4.  The server       correlates these reports with the reports received in the       multicast session based on the client's RTCP Canonical Name       (CNAME).  Thus, the client MUST use the same RTCP CNAME in both       sessions, and its RTCP CNAME MUST be unique [RFC6222].   A unicast session on a particular receive port c1 can last as long as   the associated multicast session lasts.  However, a client cannot   keep using the same receive port c1 for different subsequent unicast   sessions since there could be packet leakage when switching from one   unicast session to another unless each received unicast stream has   its own distinct Synchronization Source (SSRC) identifier to allow   the client to filter out the undesired packets.  Unless this is   guaranteed (which is not often easy), a client SHOULD use separate   receive ports for subsequent unicast sessions.  After a sufficient   time (two minutes is RECOMMENDED, similar to one TCP Maximum Segment   Lifetime specified in [RFC0793]), a previously used receive port can   be used again.Begen, et al.                Standards Track                   [Page 10]

RFC 6284                      Port Mapping                     June 2011   The established unicast session can be explicitly terminated by the   procedures specified by an application or extension using the port   mapping approach described in this document.  In addition, the   unicast session can also be terminated by the procedure defined   below, which is based on timing all participants out following the   timeout rules of [RFC3550].  Both the server and client periodically   check the liveness of the other peer, and if there is no RTCP traffic   from the other peer for a certain amount of time (Section 6.3.5 of   [RFC3550] suggests five RTCP reporting intervals), the unicast   session SHOULD be considered terminated, and no further RTP and/or   RTCP packets SHOULD be sent in that session.  The client can attempt   to establish a new unicast session if needed.  If no explicit   procedure for session termination exists, the client MAY stop sending   RTCP to the server to accomplish session termination.  However, the   server SHALL NOT stop sending RTCP until the unicast session is   terminated.  If Token-based authentication is also signaled to be   allowed in the unicast session, i.e., in the RTCP messages sent from   port c2 towards port P4, the client SHOULD terminate the unicast   session by sending an RTCP BYE message for each SSRC it has used in   that unicast session.4.  Message Formats   This section defines the formats of the RTCP messages that are   exchanged between a server and a client for the purpose of port   mapping.  A new RTCP control packet type is introduced, and four port   mapping messages using this control packet are defined:   1.  Port Mapping Request   2.  Port Mapping Response   3.  Token Verification Request   4.  Token Verification Failure   Each message has a fixed-length field for version (V), padding (P),   sub-message type (SMT), packet type (PT), length, and SSRC of packet   sender.  Messages have other fields as defined below.  In all   messages defined in this section, the PT field is set to TOKEN (210).   Individual messages are identified by the SMT field.  The length   field indicates the message size in 32-bit words minus one, including   the header and any padding.  This definition is in line with the   definition of the Length field used in RTCP sender and receiver   reports.  In all messages, any Reserved field SHALL be set to zero   and ignored.Begen, et al.                Standards Track                   [Page 11]

RFC 6284                      Port Mapping                     June 2011   Following the rules specified in [RFC3550], all integer fields in the   messages defined below are carried in network-byte order, that is,   most significant byte (octet) first, also known as big-endian.   Unless otherwise stated, numeric constants are in decimal (base 10).   Note that RTCP is not a timely or reliable protocol.  The RTCP   packets might get lost or reordered in the network, and it is not   easy to detect these events.  When sending a new Port Mapping Request   message, the scheduling rules that apply to sending initial RTCP   messages [RFC4585] apply.  When a client sends a Port Mapping Request   or Token Verification Request message but it does not receive a   response back from the server (either a Port Mapping Response or   Token Verification Failure message), it MAY resend its request by   following the timer rules defined for RTCP feedback messages inSection 3.5 of [RFC4585] as a good practice.  However,   implementations are advised to avoid sending spurious RTCP messages   just because the timer rules (based on some RTCP configuration   parameters) allow.  Reasonably safe practices are to be used to   detect RTCP message loss.  When sending an RTCP (feedback) message   bundled with a Token Verification Request message, the timer rules of   [RFC4585] apply as usual.4.1.  Port Mapping Request   The Port Mapping Request message is identified by SMT=1.  This   message is transmitted by the client to a dedicated server port (and   possibly a dedicated address) to request a Token.  In the Port   Mapping Request message, the packet sender's SSRC is set to the   client's SSRC, which is chosen randomly by the client.  The packet   format has the structure depicted in Figure 3.      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     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+     |V=2|P|  SMT=1  |    PT=TOKEN   |         Length=3              |     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+     |                      SSRC of Packet Sender                    |     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+     |                             Random                            |     |                             Nonce                             |     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+       Figure 3: Packet Format for the Port Mapping Request Message   o  Random Nonce (64 bits): Field that contains a random value      generated by the client following the procedures of [RFC4086].

If the same Port Mapping Request message is      transmitted multiple times for redundancy reasons, the random      nonce value MUST remain the same in these duplicated messages.      However, the client MUST generate a new random nonce for every new      Port Mapping Request message.4.2.  Port Mapping Response   The Port Mapping Response message is identified by SMT=2.  This   message is sent by the server and delivers the Token to the client as   a response to the Port Mapping Request message.  In the Port Mapping   Response message, the packet sender's SSRC is set to the server's   SSRC.

RFC 6284                      Port Mapping                     June 2011   o  Token Element (variable size): Element that is used to carry the      Token generated by the server.  This element is a 32-bit aligned      Length-Value element.  The Length field, which is 16 bits,      indicates the length (in octets) of the Value field that follows      the Length field.  While a 16-bit length allows for Tokens with a      size of up to 65535 bytes, using Tokens of sizes that make the      RTCP compound packet larger than the MTU might have a negative      impact on functionality because of IP fragmentation.  Some NATs or      other middleboxes do not pass IP fragments; thus, a large Token      can cause the whole mechanism to fail.  In addition, fragmentation      increases the risk for packet loss.      The length does not include any padding that is required for      alignment.  The Value field carries the Token (or more accurately,      the output of the encoding process on the server).  If the Token      element does not fall on a 32-bit boundary, the last word MUST be      padded to the boundary using further bits set to zero.   o  Absolute Expiration Time (64 bits): Field that contains the      absolute expiration time of the Token.  The absolute expiration      time is expressed as a Network Time Protocol (NTP) timestamp value      in seconds since the year 1900 [RFC5905].  The client does not      need to use this element directly and thus does not need to      synchronize its clock with the server.  However, the client needs      to send this element back to the server along with the associated      nonce in the Token Verification Request message and thus needs to      keep it associated with the Token.   o  Relative Expiration Time (32 bits): Field that contains the      relative expiration time of the Token.  The relative expiration      time is expressed in seconds from the time the Token was      generated.  Whenever a server decides to not grant a Token to a      requesting client, the relative expiration time will be set to      zero (and hence, the accompanying Token will be invalid).      The server conveys the relative expiration time in the clear to      the client to allow the client to request a new Token well before      the expiration time.   o  Packet Types Element (variable size): Element that is used to      signal which RTCP packet types require Token-based authentication.      This element is a 32-bit aligned Length-Value element.  The Length      field, which is 8 bits, indicates the length (in octets) of the      Value field that follows the Length field.  This length does not      include any padding that is required for alignment.  The Value      field carries zero or more 8-bit sub-fields, each carrying an RTCP      packet type.

A server MAY change its policy on which RTCP packet types would      require Token-based authentication based on observations,      configuration, or other policies.  However, upon such a change,      the server SHALL NOT send a new Port Mapping Response message to      the clients who requested a Token earlier.

Where to Include Token   This section provides guidelines about which RTCP packet types would   need to be accompanied by a Token Verification Request message.   However, since a server might determine in real time that other RTCP   messages also need to be authenticated by a Token, a client MUST act   according to the up-to-date list provided to the client in the Port   Mapping Response message (in the Packet Types element).  Clients need   to support the use of Token-based authentication with any necessary   RTCP message (seeSection 3.2).   As a general rule, when the Token capability is declared in the   session description, the RTCP messages that trigger transmission of   RTP packets in a port mapped unicast session are REQUIRED to be   authenticated by using a Token.  Such messages include but are not   limited to:   o  NACK messages [RFC4585]   o  RAMS Request (RAMS-R) messages [RFC6285]Begen, et al.                Standards Track                   [Page 16]

RFC 6284                      Port Mapping                     June 2011   Additionally, some RTCP messages might directly or indirectly control   an existing unicast session associated with a multicast session.   Unless another authentication method as described in their respective   specifications is used, implementations MUST support authenticating   such RTCP messages by using a Token.   Examples are:   o  BYE messages [RFC3550]   o  RAMS Termination (RAMS-T) messages [RFC6285]   o  Codec Control Messages (CCMs) [RFC5104]   Note that even if a packet type is listed to require Token-based   authentication, it does not need to be authenticated when it does not   control the unicast session.  For example, if BYE (203) is listed in   the Port Mapping Response message as one of the packet types that   requires authentication, the client does not need to bundle the RTCP   BYE message with a Token when it is sending it for the multicast   session.   The Token Verification Request message might also be bundled with   packets carrying RTCP receiver and/or extended reports.  While such   packets do not have a strong security impact, a specific application   might desire to have a more controlled reporting scheme from the   clients.  In this case, the server lists the packet types for the   receiver (201) and/or extended reports (207) in the Port Mapping   Response message.4.4.  Token Verification Failure   The Token Verification Failure message is identified by SMT=4.  This   message is sent by the server and notifies the client that the Token   was invalid or that the client did not include a Token Verification   Request message in the RTCP packet although it was supposed to (the   message is sent from port P3 towards port c1).

Together with      the field above, the client can infer which RTCP message it had      previously sent caused this failure message to be sent by the      server.  For example, if the client did not include a valid Token      with an RTCP NACK message, the Failed PT field will indicate 205      (RTPFB) and the FMT field will indicate 1 (Generic NACK).  If the      RTCP message did not have an associated FMT value (such as an RTCP      BYE message), the FMT field SHALL be set to zero.   o  Associated Nonce (64 bits): Field that contains the nonce received      in the Token Verification Request message.

Procedures for Token Construction   The Token encoding is known to the server but opaque to the client.   Implementations MUST encode the following information into the Token   as a minimum, in order to provide adequate security:Begen, et al.                Standards Track                   [Page 18]

RFC 6284                      Port Mapping                     June 2011   o  Client's IP address as seen by the server (32/128 bits for IPv4/      IPv6 addresses)   o  The nonce generated and inserted in the Port Mapping Request      message by the client (64 bits)   o  The absolute expiration time chosen by the server indicated as an      NTP timestamp value in seconds since the year 1900 [RFC5905] (64      bits, to protect against replay attacks)   The RECOMMENDED way for constructing Tokens is to perform HMAC-SHA1   [RFC2104] on the concatenated values of the information listed above   (implementations might adopt different approaches).  If HMAC-SHA1 is   used, the Hashed Message Authentication Code (HMAC) key MUST be at   least 160 bits long and generated using a cryptographically secure   random source [RFC4086].   In addition to the information listed above, implementations are   encouraged to encode whatever additional information is deemed   necessary or useful.  For example, key rollover is simplified by   encoding a key-id into the Token.  As another example, a cluster of   anycast servers could find advantage by encoding a server identifier   into the Token.  As another example, while HMAC-SHA1 provides a level   of security that is widely regarded as being more than sufficient for   providing message authentication and it is secure against all known   cryptanalytic attacks that use computational resources that are   currently economically feasible, a replacement HMAC algorithm (e.g.,   HMAC-SHA256) could be used instead if HMAC-SHA1 has been compromised.   To protect from offline attacks, the server SHOULD occasionally   choose a new HMAC key.  To ease implementation, a key-id can be   assigned to each HMAC key.  This can be encoded as simply as one bit   (where the new key is X (e.g., 1) and the old key is the inverted   value of X (e.g., 0)), or if several keys are supported at once, the   key-id could be encoded into several bits.  As the encoding of the   Token is entirely private to the server and opaque to the clients,   any encoding can be used.  By encoding the key-id into the Token   element, the server can reject an old key without bothering to do   HMAC validation (saving CPU cycles).  The key-id can be encoded into   the Value field of the Token element by simply concatenating the   (plaintext) key-id with the hashed information (i.e., the Token   itself).   For example, the Value field in the Token element can be computed as:           key-id || mac-alg (client-ip | nonce | abs-expiration)Begen, et al.

RFC 6284                      Port Mapping                     June 2011   During Token construction, the expiration time has to be chosen   carefully based on the intended service duration.  Tokens that are   valid for an unnecessarily long period of time (e.g., several hours)   might impose security risks.  Depending on the application and use   cases, a reasonable value needs to be chosen by the server.  Note   that using shorter lifetimes requires the clients to acquire Tokens   more frequently.  However, since a client can acquire a new Token   well before it will need to use it, the client will not necessarily   be penalized for the acquisition delay.   Finally, be aware that NTP timestamps will wrap around in the year   2036.  Refer toSection 6 of [RFC5905] for further details.6.  Validating Tokens   The server MUST validate the Token upon receipt of an RTCP feedback   message along with the Token Verification Request message that   contains a Token, nonce, and absolute expiration time.   The server first applies its own procedure for constructing the   Tokens by using the client's IP address from the received Token   Verification Request message and the nonce and absolute expiration   time values reported in the received Token Verification Request   message.  The server then compares the resulting output with the   Token sent by the client in the Token Verification Request message.   If they match and the absolute expiration time has not passed yet,   the server declares that the Token is valid.   Note that if the client's IP address changes, the Token will not   validate.  Similarly, if the client inserts an incorrect nonce or   absolute expiration time value in the Token Verification Request   message, validation will fail.  It is also possible that the server   wants to expire the Token prematurely.  In these cases, the server   MUST reply back to the client with a Token Verification Failure   message (that goes from port P3 on the server towards port c1 on the   client).   In addition to the Token Verification Failure message, it is   RECOMMENDED that applications define an application-specific error   response to be sent by the server when the server detects that the   Token is invalid.  For applications using [RFC6285], this document   defines a new 4xx-level response code in the RAMS Response Code Space   Registry.  A client that receives a Token Verification Failure   message can request a new Token from the server.   If a client receives a Port Mapping Response message with an invalid   Token (i.e., the relative expiration time is set to zero) two or more   times for a particular Port Mapping Request message or the clientBegen, et al.

RFC 6284                      Port Mapping                     June 2011   receives a Token Verification Failure message two or more times for   the same Token Verification Request message, the client SHOULD do the   following:   1.  Check whether or not the session description has been updated.       If it was updated, act according to the new session description.   2.  Exponentially back off for the third and subsequent attempts.       Exponential back-off does not apply when the client sends a Port       Mapping Request or Token Verification Request message to a new       address and/or port.7.  SDP Signaling7.1.  The 'portmapping-req' Attribute   This attribute is used declaratively in any media block that   describes an RTP session that uses Token-based authentication for one   or more RTCP messages relating to that session.  It indicates the   port and optionally the address for obtaining a Token.   The presence of the 'portmapping-req' attribute indicates that (i) a   Token MUST be included in certain RTCP messages sent to the server   triggering or controlling a unicast session (seeSection 4.3.1) and   (ii) the client MUST receive the unicast session's RTP and RTCP   packets from the server on the port from which it sent the RTCP   message triggering the unicast session.      Note: This does not imply that Token Verification Request messages      always need to be sent in the unicast session.  Token Verification      Request messages accompany RTCP messages that trigger or control      this unicast session and are sent either in the multicast session      or the unicast session, depending on the RTCP message (seeSection 4.3.1).7.1.1.  ABNF Definition of 'portmapping-req'   The formal description of the 'portmapping-req' attribute is defined   by the following ABNF [RFC5234] syntax:      portmapping-req-attr = "a=portmapping-req:" port [SP nettype SP                               addrtype SP connection-address] CRLF   Here, 'port', 'nettype', 'addrtype', and 'connection-address' are   defined as specified inSection 9 of [RFC4566].   The 'portmapping-req' attribute SHALL only be used as a media-level   attribute.Begen, et al.                Standards Track                   [Page 21]

RFC 6284                      Port Mapping                     June 2011   In the optional address value, only unicast addresses SHOULD be used   unless one wants to use a multicast address after evaluating the   additional security risks such as non-legit servers generating fake   Tokens.  If the address is not specified, the (source) address in the   "c" line applicable to the media description SHALL be used.7.1.2.  Offer/Answer Model Considerations   When using the 'portmapping-req' attribute in SDP offer/answer   exchanges [RFC3264], the following considerations apply.  When an   offerer sends an answerer an offer of an SDP description making use   of the Token approach described in this specification, the   'portmapping-req' attribute is included declaratively.  There will   not be offer/answer exchanges between the answerer and the actual   server providing the unicast service(s).   When the answerer supports the Token approach, it MUST echo in its   answer back to the offerer the 'portmapping-req' attribute from the   offer including the same port number and address (if any).  If the   answerer does not implement this specification, it follows normal SDP   parsing of unknown attributes (they are ignored and are not sent in   the answer).  This means that the answerer can still join the   multicast session but will not be able to use the unicast service(s)   that require the use of Tokens.7.2.  Requirements   The use of SDP for the port mapping solution normatively requires   support for:   o  The SDP grouping framework and flow identification (FID) semantics      [RFC5888]   o  The RTP/Audio-Visual Profile with Feedback (AVPF) profile      [RFC4585]   o  The 'rtcp-mux' attribute (to multiplex RTP and RTCP on a single      port on both endpoints in the unicast session [RFC5761])Begen, et al.

RFC 6284                      Port Mapping                     June 2011   Note 3: The "a=portmapping-req" line indicates that one or more RTCP   messages relating to the RTP session described in this media block   uses Token-based authentication, and a Token needs to be retrieved   first from the designated port (PT) before the unicast session can be   established.  In the first appearance, an explicit address is   provided.  In the second appearance, there is no address indicated in   this line and the client needs to send the Token request to the   address specified in the "c" line in the unicast media block.   Note 4: The port specified in the second "m" line (for the unicast   stream) does not mean anything in this scenario as the client does   not send any RTP traffic back to the server.   Note 5: The server multiplexes RTP and RTCP packets sent towards c1   on the same port.   Note 6: The server uses port 42500 (P4) for the unicast session.8.  Address Pooling NATs   Large-scale NAT devices have a pool of public IPv4 addresses and map   internal hosts to one of those public IPv4 addresses.  As long as an   internal host maintains an active mapping in the NAT, the same IPv4   address is assigned to new connections.  However, once all of the   host's mappings have been deleted (e.g., because of timeout), it is   possible that a new connection from that same host will be assigned a   different IPv4 address from the pool.  When that occurs, the Token   will be considered invalid by the server, causing an additional round   trip for the client to acquire a fresh Token.   Any traffic from the host that traverses the NAT will prevent this   problem.  As the host is sending RTCP receiver reports at least every   5 seconds (Section 6.2 of [RFC3550]) for the multicast session it is   receiving, those RTCP messages will be sufficient to prevent this   problem.9.  Security Considerations9.1.  Tokens   The Token, which is generated based on a client's IP address and   expiration date, provides protection against off-path denial-of-   service (DoS) attacks.  An attacker using a certain IP address cannot   cause one or more RTP packets to be sent to a victim client who has a   different IP address.  However, if the attacker acquires a valid   Token for a victim and can spoof the victim's source address, thisBegen, et al.                Standards Track                   [Page 24]

RFC 6284                      Port Mapping                     June 2011   approach becomes vulnerable to replay attacks.  This is especially   easy if the attacker and victim are behind a large-scale NAT and   share the same IP address.   Multicast is deployed on managed networks, not the Internet.  These   managed networks will choose whether or not to enable network ingress   filtering [RFC2827].  If ingress filtering is enabled on a network,   an attacker cannot spoof a victim's IP address to use a Token to   initiate an attack against a victim.  However, if ingress filtering   is not enabled on a network, an attacker could obtain a Token and   spoof the victim's address, causing traffic to flood the victim.  On   such a network, the server can reduce the time period for such an   attack by expiring a Token in a short period of time.  In the extreme   case, the server can expire the Token in such a short period of time   that the client will have to acquire a new Token immediately before   using it in a Token Verification Request message.  One should,   however, note that such a behavior might have an adverse effect on   the delay in establishing or controlling a unicast session.   RTCP messages could be subject to on-path or man-in-the-middle   attacks.  For example, an attacker can modify a value in one or more   fields in the Port Mapping Response or the Token Verification Request   message that are used in Token construction.  This will result in   Token validation failure.  Consequently, the client ends up asking   the server to generate a new Token.  The resulting delay and extra   processing on the server is undesirable.   Alternatively, the attacker can modify a value in a field that is not   used in Token construction.  For example, the attacker can reduce the   value in the Relative Expiration Time field in the Port Mapping   Response message from two hours to two minutes.  While the Token will   still validate, this attack will result in more frequent requests to   the server for a new Token.  Oppositely, the attacker can increase   the value in the Relative Expiration Time field and make the client   think the Token will be valid for a longer time.  This attack can be   only detected by monitoring the activity on the server.  Note that   using the relative expiration time in Token construction does not   necessarily make this attack easier to detect since the attacker   might revert the modified value back to its original value in the   Token Verification Request message.  This allows the Token to still   validate on the server.  In this case, the attack is still only   detectable by monitoring the server activity.   If there is a risk or concern for on-path or man-in-the-middle   attacks, RTCP messages SHOULD be protected by Secure RTCP (SRTCP)   [RFC3711].Begen, et al.

RFC 6284                      Port Mapping                     June 2011   To minimize the risk of cross-protocol attacks, a server MUST NOT use   the same secret key it used for Token construction for other   purposes.9.2.  The 'portmapping-req' Attribute   The 'portmapping-req' attribute is not believed to introduce any   significant security risk to multimedia applications.  A malevolent   third party could use this attribute to redirect the Port Mapping   Request messages by altering the port number or cause the unicast   session establishment to fail by removing it from the SDP   description.  However, this requires intercepting and rewriting the   packets carrying the SDP description, and if an interceptor can do   that, many more attacks are possible, including a wholesale change of   the addresses and port numbers at which the media will be sent.   In order to avoid attacks of this sort, the SDP description needs to   be integrity protected and provided with source authentication.  This   can, for example, be achieved on an end-to-end basis using Secure/   Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (S/MIME) [RFC5652] [RFC5751]   when SDP is used in a signaling packet using MIME types (application/   sdp).  Alternatively, HTTPS [RFC2818] or the authentication method in   the Session Announcement Protocol (SAP) [RFC2974] could be used as   well.10.
