RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 20131.  Introduction   Point-to-point (P2P) communication between arbitrary routers in a   Low-power and Lossy Network (LLN) is a key requirement for many home   and commercial building automation applications [RFC5826] [RFC5867].   The IPv6 Routing Protocol for LLNs (RPL) [RFC6550] constrains the LLN   topology to a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) built to optimize the   routing costs to reach the DAG's root.  The P2P routing   functionality, available under RPL, has the following key   limitations:   o  The P2P routes are restricted to use the DAG links only.  Such P2P      routes may potentially be suboptimal and may lead to traffic      congestion near the DAG root.   o  RPL is a proactive routing protocol and hence requires that all      P2P routes be established ahead of the time they are used.  Many      LLN applications require the ability to establish P2P routes "on      demand".   To ameliorate situations where the core RPL's P2P routing   functionality does not meet an application's requirements, [RFC6997]   describes P2P-RPL, an extension to core RPL.  P2P-RPL provides a   reactive mechanism to discover P2P routes that meet the specified   routing constraints [RFC6551].  In some cases, the application's   requirements or the LLN's topological features allow a router to   infer these routing constraints implicitly.  For example, the   application may require that the end-to-end loss rate and/or latency   along the route be below certain thresholds, or the LLN topology may   be such that a router can safely assume that its destination is less   than a certain number of hops away from itself.   When the existing routes are deemed unsatisfactory but the router   does not implicitly know the routing constraints to be used in   P2P-RPL route discovery, it may be necessary for the router to   measure the aggregated values of the routing metrics along the   existing route.  This knowledge will allow the router to frame   reasonable routing constraints to discover a better route using   P2P-RPL.  For example, if the router determines the aggregate ETX   (expected transmission count) [RFC6551] along an existing route to be   "x", it can use "ETX < x*y", where y is a certain fraction, as the   routing constraint for use in P2P-RPL route discovery.  Note that it   is important that the routing constraints not be overly strict;   otherwise, the P2P-RPL route discovery may fail even though a route   exists that is much better than the one currently being used.Goyal, et al.                 Experimental                      [Page 4]

RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 2013   This document specifies a mechanism that enables a RPL router to   measure the aggregated values of the routing metrics along an   existing route to another RPL router in an LLN, thereby allowing the   router to decide if it wants to discover a better route using P2P-RPL   and determine the routing constraints to be used for this purpose.   Thus, the utility of this mechanism is dependent on the existence of   P2P-RPL [RFC6997].  The hope is that experiments with P2P-RPL and the   mechanism defined in this document will result in feedback on the   utility and benefits of this document, so that a Standards Track   version of this document can then be developed.1.1.  Terminology   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].   Additionally, this document uses terminology from [RFC6550],   [RFC6554], and [RFC6997].  Further terminology may be found in   [ROLL-TERMS].  This document defines the following terms:   Start Point:  The RPL router that initiates the measurement process      defined in this document and that is the start point of the P2P      route being measured.   End Point:  The RPL router at the end point of the P2P route being      measured.   Intermediate Point:  A RPL router, other than the Start Point and the      End Point, on the P2P route being measured.   The following terms, as already defined in [RFC6997], are redefined   in this document in the following manner:   Forward direction:  The direction from the Start Point to the      End Point.   Reverse direction:  The direction from the End Point to the      Start Point.Goyal, et al.                 Experimental                      [Page 5]

RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 20132.  Overview   The mechanism described in this document can be used by a Start Point   in an LLN to measure the aggregated values of selected routing   metrics along a P2P route to an End Point within the LLN.  The route   is measured in the Forward direction.  Such a route could be a Source   Route or a Hop-by-hop Route established using RPL [RFC6550] or   P2P-RPL [RFC6997].  Such a route could also be a "mixed" route, with   the initial part consisting of hop-by-hop ascent to the root of a   non-storing DAG [RFC6550] and the final part consisting of a source-   routed descent to the End Point.  The Start Point decides what   metrics to measure and sends a Measurement Request message, carrying   the desired routing metric objects, along the route.  If a Source   Route is being measured, the Measurement Request carries the route   inside an Address vector.  If a Hop-by-hop Route is being measured,   the Measurement Request identifies the route by its RPLInstanceID   [RFC6550] (and, if the RPLInstanceID is a local value, the   Start Point's IPv6 address associated with the route).  On receiving   a Measurement Request, an Intermediate Point updates the routing   metric values inside the message and forwards it to the next hop on   the route.  Thus, the Measurement Request accumulates the values of   the routing metrics for the complete route as it travels towards the   End Point.  Upon receiving the Measurement Request, the End Point   unicasts a Measurement Reply message, carrying the accumulated values   of the routing metrics, back to the Start Point.  Optionally, the   Start Point may allow an Intermediate Point to generate the   Measurement Reply if the Intermediate Point already knows the   relevant routing metric values along the rest of the route.   The Measurement Request may include an Address vector that serves one   of the following functions:   o  To accumulate a Source Route for the End Point's use: If a Hop-by-      hop Route with a local RPLInstanceID is being measured, the      Start Point may require that each Intermediate Point add its      global or unique-local IPv6 address to an Address vector inside      the Measurement Request.  The Source Route, thus accumulated, can      be used by the End Point to reach the Start Point.  In particular,      the End Point may use the accumulated Source Route to send the      Measurement Reply back to the Start Point.  In this case, the      Start Point includes a suitably sized Address vector in the      Measurement Request.  The size of the Address vector puts a hard      limit on the length of the accumulated route.  An Intermediate      Point is not allowed to modify the size of the Address vector and      must discard a received Measurement Request if the Address vector      is not large enough to contain the complete route.Goyal, et al.                 Experimental                      [Page 6]

RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 2013   o  To carry the Source Route being measured: The Start Point may      insert an Address vector inside the Measurement Request to carry      the Source Route being measured.  Also, the root of a global      non-storing DAG may insert an Address vector, carrying a Source      Route from itself to the End Point, inside a Measurement Request      message if this message had been traveling along this DAG so far.      This Source Route must consist of global or unique-local IPv6      addresses.  An Intermediate Point is not allowed to modify an      existing Address vector before forwarding the Measurement Request      further.  In other words, an Intermediate Point must not modify      the Source Route along which the Measurement Request is currently      traveling.3.  The Measurement Object (MO)   This document defines two new RPL control message types: the   Measurement Object (MO), with code 0x06; and the Secure MO, with   code 0x86.  An MO serves as both Measurement Request and   Measurement Reply.Goyal, et al.                 Experimental                      [Page 7]

A base MO consists of   the following fields:   o  RPLInstanceID: This field specifies the RPLInstanceID of the      Hop-by-hop Route along which the Measurement Request travels      (or traveled initially until it switched over to a Source Route).   o  Compr: In many LLN deployments, IPv6 addresses share a well-known,      common prefix.  In such cases, the common prefix can be elided      when specifying IPv6 addresses in the Start Point/End Point      Address fields and the Address vector.  The "Compr" field, a 4-bit      unsigned integer, is set by the Start Point to specify the number      of prefix octets that are elided from the IPv6 addresses in      Start Point/End Point Address fields and the Address vector.  The      Start Point will set the Compr value to zero if full IPv6      addresses are to be carried in the Start Point Address/End Point      Address fields and the Address vector.Goyal, et al.                 Experimental                      [Page 8]

RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 2013   o  Type (T): This flag is set to one if the MO represents a      Measurement Request.  The flag is set to zero if the MO is a      Measurement Reply.   o  Hop-by-hop (H): The Start Point MUST set this flag to one if (at      least the initial part of) the route being measured is hop by hop.      In that case, the Hop-by-hop Route is identified by the      RPLInstanceID, the End Point Address, and, if the RPLInstanceID is      a local value, the Start Point Address fields inside the      Measurement Request.  Here, the Start Point Address field is      required to be the same as the DODAGID (the identifier of the      Destination-Oriented DAG (DODAG) root) [RFC6550] of the route      being measured.  The Start Point MUST set the H flag to zero if      the route being measured is a Source Route specified in the      Address vector.  An Intermediate Point MUST set the H flag in an      outgoing Measurement Request to the same value that it had in the      corresponding incoming Measurement Request, except under the      following circumstance: If the Intermediate Point is the root of      the non-storing global DAG along which the Measurement Request had      been traveling so far and it intends to insert a Source Route      inside the Address vector to direct the Measurement Request      towards the End Point, then it MUST set the H flag to zero.   o  Accumulate Route (A): A value of 1 in this flag indicates that the      Measurement Request is accumulating a Source Route for use by the      End Point to send the Measurement Reply back to the Start Point.      Route accumulation MUST NOT be used (i.e., this flag MUST NOT be      set to one) inside a Measurement Request, unless it travels along      a Hop-by-hop Route represented by a local RPLInstanceID (i.e., H =      1 and RPLInstanceID has a local value).  Route accumulation MAY be      used (i.e., this flag MAY be set to one) if the Measurement      Request is traveling along a Hop-by-hop Route with a local      RPLInstanceID.  In this case, if the route accumulation is on, an      Intermediate Point adds its unicast global/unique-local IPv6      address (after eliding Compr number of prefix octets) to the      Address vector in the manner specified inSection 5.3.  In other      cases, this flag MUST be set to zero on transmission and ignored      on reception.  Route accumulation is not allowed when the      Measurement Request travels along a Hop-by-hop Route with a global      RPLInstanceID, i.e., along a global DAG, because:      *  The DAG's root may need the Address vector to insert a Source         Route to the End Point; and      *  The End Point can presumably reach the Start Point along this         global DAG (identified by the RPLInstanceID field).Goyal, et al.                 Experimental                      [Page 9]

RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 2013   o  Reverse (R): A value of 1 in this flag inside a Measurement      Request indicates that the Address vector contains a complete      Source Route from the Start Point to the End Point, which can be      used, after reversal, by the End Point to send the Measurement      Reply back to the Start Point.  This flag MAY be set to one inside      a Measurement Request only if a Source Route, from the Start Point      to the End Point, is being measured.  Otherwise, this flag MUST be      set to zero on transmission and ignored on reception.   o  Back Request (B): A value of 1 in this flag serves as a request to      the End Point to send a Measurement Request towards the      Start Point.  On receiving a Measurement Request with the B flag      set to one, the End Point SHOULD generate a Measurement Request to      measure the cost of its current (or the most preferred) route to      the Start Point.  Receipt of this Measurement Request would allow      the Start Point to know the cost of the back route from the      End Point to itself and thus determine the round-trip cost of      reaching the End Point.   o  Intermediate Reply (I): A value of 1 in this flag serves as      permission to an Intermediate Point to generate a Measurement      Reply if it knows the aggregated values of the routing metrics      being measured for the rest of the route.  Setting this flag to      one may be useful in scenarios where the Hop Count [RFC6551] is      the routing metric of interest and an Intermediate Point (e.g.,      the root of a non-storing global DAG or a common ancestor of the      Start Point and the End Point in a storing global DAG) may know      the Hop Count of the remainder of the route to the End Point.      This flag MAY be set to one only if a Hop-by-hop Route with a      global RPLInstanceID is being measured (i.e., H = 1 and      RPLInstanceID has a global value).  Otherwise, this flag MUST be      set to zero on transmission and ignored on reception.   o  SeqNo: This is a 6-bit sequence number, assigned by the      Start Point, that allows the Start Point to uniquely identify a      Measurement Request and the corresponding Measurement Reply.   o  Num: This field indicates the number of elements, each      (16 - Compr) octets in size, inside the Address vector.  If the      value of this field is zero, the Address vector is not present in      the MO.   o  Index: If the Measurement Request is traveling along a Source      Route contained in the Address vector (i.e., H = 0), this field      indicates the index in the Address vector of the next hop on the      route.  If the Measurement Request is traveling along a Hop-by-hop      Route with a local RPLInstanceID and the route accumulation is on      (i.e., H = 1, RPLInstanceID has a local value, and A = 1), thisGoyal, et al.

Otherwise, this field MUST be set to zero on      transmission and ignored on reception.   o  Start Point Address: This is a unicast global or unique-local IPv6      address of the Start Point after eliding Compr number of prefix      octets.  If the Measurement Request is traveling along a Hop-by-      hop Route and the RPLInstanceID field indicates a local value, the      Start Point Address field MUST specify the DODAGID value that,      along with the RPLInstanceID and the End Point Address, uniquely      identifies the Hop-by-hop Route being measured.   o  End Point Address: This is a unicast global or unique-local IPv6      address of the End Point after eliding Compr number of prefix      octets.   o  Address[0..Num-1]: This field is a vector of unicast global or      unique-local IPv6 addresses (with Compr number of prefix octets      elided) representing a Source Route:      *  Each element in the vector has size (16 - Compr) octets.      *  The total number of elements inside the Address vector is given         by the Num field.      *  The Start Point and End Point addresses MUST NOT be included in         the Address vector.      *  The Address vector MUST NOT contain any multicast addresses.      *  If the Start Point wants to measure a Hop-by-hop Route with a         local RPLInstanceID and accumulate a Source Route for the         End Point's use (i.e., the Measurement Request has the H flag         set to one, RPLInstanceID set to a local value, and the A flag         set to one), it MUST include a suitably sized Address vector in         the Measurement Request.  As the Measurement Request travels         over the route being measured, the Address vector accumulates a         Source Route that can be used by the End Point, after reversal,         to reach (and, in particular, to send the Measurement Reply         back to) the Start Point.  The route MUST be accumulated in the         Forward direction, but the IPv6 addresses in the accumulated         route MUST be reachable in the Reverse direction.  An         Intermediate Point MUST add only a global or unique-local IPv6         address to the Address vector and MUST NOT modify the size of         the Address vector.Goyal, et al.                 Experimental                     [Page 11]

RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 2013      *  If the Start Point wants to measure a Source Route, it MUST         include an Address vector, containing the route being measured,         inside the Measurement Request.  Similarly, if the Measurement         Request had been traveling along a global non-storing DAG so         far, the root of this DAG may insert an Address vector,         containing a Source Route from itself to the End Point, inside         the Measurement Request.  In both cases, the Source Route         inside the Address vector MUST consist only of global or         unique-local IPv6 addresses that are reachable in the Forward         direction.  Further, in both cases, an Intermediate Point MUST         NOT modify the contents of the existing Address vector before         forwarding the Measurement Request further.  In other words, an         Intermediate Point MUST NOT modify the Source Route along which         the Measurement Request is currently traveling.  The         Start Point MAY set the R flag in the Measurement Request to         one if the Source Route inside the Address vector can be used         by the End Point, after reversal, to reach (and, in particular,         to send the Measurement Reply back to) the Start Point.  In         other words, the Start Point MAY set the R flag to one only if         all the IPv6 addresses in the Address vector are reachable in         the Reverse direction.   o  Metric Container Options: A Measurement Request MUST contain one      or more Metric Container options [RFC6550] to accumulate the      values of the selected routing metrics in the manner described in      [RFC6551] for the route being measured.Section 4 describes how a Start Point sets various fields inside a   Measurement Request in different cases.Section 5 describes how an   Intermediate Point processes a received Measurement Request before   forwarding it further.Section 6 describes how the End Point   processes a received Measurement Request and generates a Measurement   Reply.  Finally,Section 7 describes how the Start Point processes a   received Measurement Reply.  In the following discussion, any   reference to discarding a received Measurement Request/Reply with "no   further processing" does not preclude updating the appropriate error   counters or any similar actions.3.2.  Secure MO   A Secure MO follows the format shown in Figure 7 of [RFC6550], where   the base format is the base MO shown in Figure 1.  Sections6.1,10,   and 19 of [RFC6550] describe the RPL security framework.  These   sections are applicable to the use of Secure MO messages as well,   except as constrained in this section.  An LLN deployment MUST   support the use of Secure MO messages so that it has the ability to   invoke RPL-provided security mechanisms and prevent misuse of the   measurement mechanism by unauthorized routers.Goyal, et al.                 Experimental                     [Page 12]

RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 2013   The Start Point determines whether Secure MO messages are to be used   in a particular route measurement and, if yes, the Security   Configuration (see definition in [RFC6997]) to be used for that   purpose.  The Start Point MUST NOT set the "Key Identifier Mode"   field to a value of 1 inside this Security Configuration, since this   setting indicates the use of a per-pair key, which is not suitable   for securing the Measurement Request messages that travel over   multiple hops.  A router (an Intermediate Point or the End Point)   participating in a particular route measurement   o  MUST generate a Secure MO message (a Measurement Request or a      Measurement Reply) if the received Measurement Request is a Secure      MO.  The Security Configuration used in generating a Secure MO      message MUST be the same as the one used in the received message.   o  MUST NOT generate a Secure MO message if the received Measurement      Request is not a Secure MO.   A router MUST discard a received Measurement Request if it cannot   follow the above-mentioned rules.  If the Start Point sends a   Measurement Request in a Secure MO message using a particular   Security Configuration, it MUST discard the corresponding Measurement   Reply it receives with no further processing, unless the Measurement   Reply is received in a Secure MO message generated with the same   Security Configuration as the one used in the Measurement Request.   In the following discussion, any reference to an MO message is also   applicable to a Secure MO message, unless noted otherwise.4.  Originating a Measurement Request   A Start Point sets various fields inside the Measurement Request it   generates in the manner described below.  The Start Point MUST also   include the routing metric objects [RFC6551] of interest inside one   or more Metric Container options inside the Measurement Request.  The   Start Point then determines the next hop on the route being measured.   If a Hop-by-hop Route is being measured (i.e., H = 1), the next hop   is determined using the RPLInstanceID, the End Point Address, and, if   RPLInstanceID is a local value, the Start Point Address fields in the   Measurement Request.  If a Source Route is being measured (i.e.,   H = 0), the Address[0] element inside the Measurement Request   contains the next-hop address.  The Start Point MUST ensure that   o  the next-hop address is a unicast address, and   o  the next hop is on-link, andGoyal, et al.                 Experimental                     [Page 13]

RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 2013   o  the next hop is in the same RPL routing domain [RFC6554] as the      Start Point,   failing which the Start Point MUST discard the Measurement Request   without sending.  Depending on the routing metrics, the Start Point   must initiate the routing metric objects inside the Metric Container   options by including the routing metric values for the first hop on   the route being measured.  Finally, the Start Point MUST unicast the   Measurement Request to the next hop on the route being measured.   The Start Point MUST maintain state for a just-transmitted   Measurement Request, for a lifetime duration that is large enough to   allow the corresponding Measurement Reply to return.  This state   consists of the RPLInstanceID, the SeqNo, and the End Point Address   fields of the Measurement Request.  The lifetime duration for this   state is locally determined by the Start Point and may be deployment   specific.  This state expires when the corresponding Measurement   Reply is received or when the lifetime is over, whichever occurs   first.  Failure to receive the corresponding Measurement Reply before   the expiry of a state may occur due to a number of reasons, including   the unwillingness on the part of an Intermediate Point or the   End Point to process the Measurement Request.  The Start Point should   take such possibilities into account when deciding whether to   generate another Measurement Request for this route.  The Start Point   MUST discard a received Measurement Reply with no further processing   if the state for the corresponding Measurement Request has already   expired.4.1.  When Measuring a Hop-by-Hop Route with a Global RPLInstanceID   If a Hop-by-hop Route with a global RPLInstanceID is being measured   (i.e., H = 1 and RPLInstanceID has a global value), the MO MUST NOT   contain an Address vector, and various MO fields MUST be set in the   following manner:   o  RPLInstanceID: This field MUST be set to the RPLInstanceID of the      route being measured.   o  Compr: This field MUST be set to specify the number of prefix      octets that are elided from the IPv6 addresses in Start Point/      End Point Address fields.   o  Type (T): This flag MUST be set to one, since the MO represents a      Measurement Request.   o  Hop-by-hop (H): This flag MUST be set to one.   o  Accumulate Route (A): This flag MUST be set to zero.Goyal, et al.

When Measuring a Hop-by-Hop Route with a Local RPLInstanceID with      Route Accumulation Off   If a Hop-by-hop Route with a local RPLInstanceID is being measured   and the Start Point does not want the MO to accumulate a Source Route   for the End Point's use, the MO MUST NOT contain the Address vector,   and various MO fields MUST be set in the following manner:   o  RPLInstanceID: This field MUST be set to the RPLInstanceID of the      route being measured.   o  Compr: This field MUST be set to specify the number of prefix      octets that are elided from the IPv6 addresses in Start Point/      End Point Address fields.   o  Type (T): This flag MUST be set to one, since the MO represents a      Measurement Request.   o  Hop-by-hop (H): This flag MUST be set to one.   o  Accumulate Route (A): This flag MUST be set to zero.   o  Reverse (R): This flag MUST be set to zero.Goyal, et al.

RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 2013   o  Back Request (B): This flag MAY be set to one to request that the      End Point send a Measurement Request to the Start Point.   o  Intermediate Reply (I): This flag MUST be set to zero.   o  SeqNo: This is assigned by the Start Point so that it can uniquely      identify the Measurement Request and the corresponding      Measurement Reply.   o  Num: This field MUST be set to zero.   o  Index: This field MUST be set to zero.   o  Start Point Address: This field MUST contain the DODAGID value      (after eliding Compr number of prefix octets) associated with the      route being measured.  This DODAGID MUST also be a global or      unique-local IPv6 address of the Start Point.   o  End Point Address: This field MUST be set to a unicast global or      unique-local IPv6 address of the End Point after eliding Compr      number of prefix octets.4.3.  When Measuring a Hop-by-Hop Route with a Local RPLInstanceID with      Route Accumulation On   If a Hop-by-hop Route with a local RPLInstanceID is being measured   and the Start Point desires the MO to accumulate a Source Route for   the End Point to send the Measurement Reply message back, the MO MUST   contain a suitably sized Address vector, and various MO fields MUST   be set in the following manner:   o  RPLInstanceID: This field MUST be set to the RPLInstanceID of the      route being measured.   o  Compr: This field MUST be set to specify the number of prefix      octets that are elided from the IPv6 addresses in Start Point/      End Point Address fields and the Address vector.   o  Type (T): This flag MUST be set to one, since the MO represents a      Measurement Request.   o  Hop-by-hop (H): This flag MUST be set to one.   o  Accumulate Route (A): This flag MUST be set to one.   o  Reverse (R): This flag MUST be set to zero.Goyal, et al.

When Measuring a Source Route   If a Source Route is being measured, the Start Point MUST set various   MO fields in the following manner:   o  RPLInstanceID: This field does not have any significance when a      Source Route is being measured and hence can be set to any value.   o  Compr: This field MUST be set to specify the number of prefix      octets that are elided from the IPv6 addresses in Start Point/      End Point Address fields and the Address vector.   o  Type (T): This flag MUST be set to one, since the MO represents a      Measurement Request.   o  Hop-by-hop (H): This flag MUST be set to zero.   o  Accumulate Route (A): This flag MUST be set to zero.Goyal, et al.

Further, each address         MUST have the same prefix as the Start Point Address and the         End Point Address.  This prefix, whose length in octets is         specified in the Compr field, MUST be elided from each address.      *  The IPv6 addresses in the Address vector MUST be reachable in         the Forward direction.      *  If the R flag is set to one, the IPv6 addresses in the Address         vector MUST also be reachable in the Reverse direction.Goyal, et al.

RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 20135.  Processing a Measurement Request at an Intermediate Point   A router (an Intermediate Point or the End Point) MAY discard a   received MO with no processing, in order to meet any policy-related   goals.  Such policy goals may include the need to reduce the router's   CPU load, or to enhance its battery life, or to prevent the misuse of   this mechanism by unauthorized nodes.   A router MUST discard a received MO with no further processing if the   value in the Compr field inside the received message is more than   what the router considers to be the length of the common prefix used   in IPv6 addresses in the LLN.   On receiving an MO, if a router chooses to process the packet   further, it MUST determine whether or not one of its IPv6 addresses   is listed as either the Start Point or the End Point Address.  If   not, the router considers itself an Intermediate Point and MUST   process the received MO in the following manner.   An Intermediate Point MUST discard the packet with no further   processing if the received MO is not a Measurement Request (i.e.,   T = 0).  This is because the End Point unicasts a Measurement Reply   directly to the Start Point.  So, the Intermediate Point treats a   transiting Measurement Reply as a data packet and not a RPL control   message.   Next, the Intermediate Point determines the type of the route being   measured (by checking the values of the H flag and the RPLInstanceID   field) and processes the received MO accordingly, in the manner   specified next.5.1.  When Measuring a Hop-by-Hop Route with a Global RPLInstanceID   If a Hop-by-hop Route with a global RPLInstanceID is being measured   (i.e., H = 1 and RPLInstanceID has a global value), the Intermediate   Point MUST process the received Measurement Request in the following   manner.   If the Num field inside the received Measurement Request is not set   to zero, thereby implying that an Address vector is present, the   Intermediate Point MUST discard the received message with no further   processing.   If the Intermediate Reply (I) flag is set to one in the received   Measurement Request and the Intermediate Point knows the values of   the routing metrics (as specified in the Metric Container options)   for the remainder of the route, it MAY generate a Measurement Reply   on the End Point's behalf in the manner specified inSection 6.1Goyal, et al.                 Experimental                     [Page 19]

RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 2013   (after including in the Measurement Reply the relevant routing metric   values for the complete route being measured).  Otherwise, the   Intermediate Point MUST process the received message in the following   manner.   The Intermediate Point MUST determine the next hop on the route being   measured using the RPLInstanceID and the End Point Address.  If the   Intermediate Point is the root of the non-storing global DAG along   which the received Measurement Request had been traveling so far, it   MUST process the received Measurement Request in the following   manner:   o  If the router does not know how to reach the End Point, it MUST      discard the Measurement Request with no further processing and MAY      send an ICMPv6 Destination Unreachable (with Code 0 -- No Route To      Destination) error message [RFC4443] to the Start Point.   o  Otherwise, unless the router determines the End Point itself to be      the next hop, the router MUST make the following changes in the      received Measurement Request:      *  Set the H, A, R, and I flags to zero (the A and R flags should         already be zero in the received message).      *  Leave the remaining fields unchanged (the Num field would be         modified in the next steps).  Note that the RPLInstanceID field         identifies the non-storing global DAG along which the         Measurement Request traveled so far.  This information MUST be         preserved so that the End Point may use this DAG to send the         Measurement Reply back to the Start Point.      *  Insert a new Address vector inside the Measurement Request, and         specify a Source Route to the End Point inside the Address         vector as per the following rules:         +  The Address vector MUST contain a complete route from the            router to the End Point (excluding the router and the            End Point).         +  Each address appearing in the Address vector MUST be a            unicast global or unique-local IPv6 address.  Further, each            address MUST have the same prefix as the Start Point Address            and the End Point Address.  This prefix, whose length in            octets is specified in the Compr field, MUST be elided from            each address.         +  The IPv6 addresses in the Address vector MUST be reachable            in the Forward direction.Goyal, et al.                 Experimental                     [Page 20]

RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 2013         If the router cannot insert an Address vector satisfying the         rules mentioned above, it MUST discard the Measurement Request         with no further processing and MAY send an ICMPv6 Destination         Unreachable (with Code 0 -- No Route To Destination) error         message [RFC4443] to the Start Point.      *  Specify in the Num field the number of address elements in the         Address vector.      *  Set the Index field to zero to indicate the position in the         Address vector of the next hop on the route.  Thus, the         Address[0] element contains the address of the next hop on the         route.   The Intermediate Point MUST then complete the processing of the   received Measurement Request as specified inSection 5.5.5.2.  When Measuring a Hop-by-Hop Route with a Local RPLInstanceID with      Route Accumulation Off   If a Hop-by-hop Route with a local RPLInstanceID is being measured   and the route accumulation is off (i.e., H = 1, RPLInstanceID has a   local value, and A = 0), the Intermediate Point MUST process the   received Measurement Request in the following manner.   If the Num field inside the received Measurement Request is not set   to zero, thereby implying that an Address vector is present, the   Intermediate Point MUST discard the received message with no further   processing.   The Intermediate Point MUST then determine the next hop on the route   being measured using the RPLInstanceID, the End Point Address, and   the Start Point Address (which represents the DODAGID of the route   being measured).  If the Intermediate Point cannot determine the next   hop, it MUST discard the Measurement Request with no further   processing and MAY send an ICMPv6 Destination Unreachable (with   Code 0 -- No Route To Destination) error message [RFC4443] to the   Start Point.  Otherwise, the Intermediate Point MUST complete the   processing of the received Measurement Request as specified inSection 5.5.5.3.  When Measuring a Hop-by-Hop Route with a Local RPLInstanceID with      Route Accumulation On   If a Hop-by-hop Route with a local RPLInstanceID is being measured   and the route accumulation is on (i.e., H = 1, RPLInstanceID has a   local value, and A = 1), the Intermediate Point MUST process the   received Measurement Request in the following manner.Goyal, et al.                 Experimental                     [Page 21]

RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 2013   If the Num field inside the received Measurement Request is set to   zero, thereby implying that an Address vector is not present, the   Intermediate Point MUST discard the received message with no further   processing.   The Intermediate Point MUST then determine the next hop on the route   being measured using the RPLInstanceID, the End Point Address, and   the Start Point Address (which represents the DODAGID of the route   being measured).  If the Intermediate Point cannot determine the next   hop, it MUST discard the Measurement Request with no further   processing and MAY send an ICMPv6 Destination Unreachable (with   Code 0 -- No Route To Destination) error message [RFC4443] to the   Start Point.  If the index field has value Num - 1 and the next hop   is not the same as the End Point, the Intermediate Point MUST drop   the received Measurement Request with no further processing.  In this   case, the next hop would have no space left in the Address vector to   store its address.  Otherwise, the router MUST store one of its IPv6   addresses at location Address[Index] and then increment the Index   field.  The IPv6 address added to the Address vector MUST have the   following properties:   o  This address MUST be a unicast global or unique-local address.   o  This address MUST have the same prefix as the Start Point Address      and the End Point Address.  This prefix, whose length in octets is      specified in the Compr field, MUST be elided before the address is      added to the Address vector.   o  This address MUST be reachable in the Reverse direction.   If the router does not have an IPv6 address that satisfies the   properties mentioned above, it MUST discard the Measurement Request   with no further processing.   The Intermediate Point MUST then complete the processing of the   received Measurement Request as specified inSection 5.5.5.4.  When Measuring a Source Route   If a Source Route is being measured (i.e., H = 0), the Intermediate   Point MUST process the received Measurement Request in the following   manner.   If the Num field inside the received Measurement Request is set to   zero, thereby implying that an Address vector is not present, the   Intermediate Point MUST discard the received message with no further   processing.Goyal, et al.                 Experimental                     [Page 22]

RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 2013   The Intermediate Point MUST verify that the Address[Index] element   lists one of its unicast global or unique-local IPv6 addresses (minus   the prefix whose length in octets is specified in the Compr field),   failing which it MUST discard the Measurement Request with no further   processing.  The Intermediate Point MUST then increment the Index   field and use the Address[Index] element as the next hop (unless the   Index value is now Num).  If the Index value is now Num, the   Intermediate Point MUST use the End Point Address as the next hop.   The Intermediate Point MUST then complete the processing of the   received Measurement Request as specified inSection 5.5.5.5.  Final Processing   The Intermediate Point MUST drop the received Measurement Request   with no further processing:   o  if the next-hop address is not a unicast address; or   o  if the next hop is not on-link; or   o  if the next hop is not in the same RPL routing domain as the      Intermediate Point.   Next, the Intermediate Point MUST update the routing metric objects,   inside the Metric Container option(s) inside the Measurement Request,   either by updating the aggregated value for the routing metric or by   attaching the local values for the metric inside the object.  An   Intermediate Point can only update the existing metric objects and   MUST NOT add any new routing metric objects to the Metric Container.   An Intermediate Point MUST drop the Measurement Request with no   further processing if it cannot update a routing metric object   specified inside the Metric Container.   Finally, the Intermediate Point MUST unicast the Measurement Request   to the next hop.6.  Processing a Measurement Request at the End Point   On receiving an MO, if a router chooses to process the message   further and finds one of its unicast global or unique-local IPv6   addresses (minus the prefix whose length in octets is specified in   the Compr field) listed as the End Point Address, the router   considers itself the End Point and MUST process the received MO in   the following manner.   The End Point MUST discard the received message with no further   processing if it is not a Measurement Request (i.e., T = 0).Goyal, et al.                 Experimental                     [Page 23]

RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 2013   If the received Measurement Request traveled on a Hop-by-hop Route   with a local RPLInstanceID with route accumulation on (i.e., H = 1,   RPLInstanceID has a local value, and A = 1), elements Address[0]   through Address[Index - 1] in the Address vector contain a complete   Source Route from the Start Point to the End Point, which the   End Point MAY use, after reversal, to reach the Start Point.  Note   that the Source Route in the Address vector does not include the   Start Point and the End Point addresses, and that the individual   addresses do not include the common prefix whose length in octets is   specified in the Compr field.   If the received Measurement Request traveled on a Source Route and   the Reverse flag is set to one (i.e., H = 0 and R = 1), elements   Address[0] through Address[Num - 1] in the Address vector contain a   complete Source Route from the Start Point to the End Point, which   the End Point MAY use, after reversal, to reach the Start Point.   Again, the Source Route in the Address vector does not include the   Start Point and the End Point addresses, and the individual addresses   do not include the common prefix whose length in octets is specified   in the Compr field.   The End Point MUST update the routing metric objects in the Metric   Container options if required and MAY note the measured values for   the complete route (especially if the received Measurement Request is   likely a response to an earlier Measurement Request that the   End Point had sent to the Start Point with the B flag set to one).   The End Point MUST generate a Measurement Reply message as specified   inSection 6.1.  If the B flag is set to one in the received   Measurement Request, the End Point SHOULD generate a new Measurement   Request to measure the cost of its current (or the most preferred)   route to the Start Point.  The routing metrics used in the new   Measurement Request MUST include the routing metrics specified in the   received Measurement Request.6.1.  Generating the Measurement Reply   A Measurement Reply MUST have the Type (T) flag set to zero and need   not contain the Address vector.  The following fields inside a   Measurement Reply MUST have the same values as they had inside the   corresponding Measurement Request: RPLInstanceID, Compr, SeqNo,   Start Point Address, End Point Address, and Metric Container   option(s).  The remaining fields inside a Measurement Reply may have   any value and MUST be ignored on reception at the Start Point; the   received Measurement Request can, therefore, trivially be converted   into a Measurement Reply by setting the Type (T) flag to zero.Goyal, et al.                 Experimental                     [Page 24]

RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 2013   A Measurement Reply MUST be unicast back to the Start Point:   o  If the Measurement Request traveled along a global DAG, identified      by the RPLInstanceID field, the Measurement Reply MAY be unicast      back to the Start Point along the same DAG.   o  If the Measurement Request traveled along a Hop-by-hop Route with      a local RPLInstanceID and accumulated a Source Route from the      Start Point to the End Point, this Source Route MAY be used after      reversal to send the Measurement Reply back to the Start Point.   o  If the Measurement Request traveled along a Source Route and the      R flag inside the received message is set to one, the End Point      MAY reverse the Source Route contained in the Address vector and      use it to send the Measurement Reply back to the Start Point.7.  Processing a Measurement Reply at the Start Point   When a router receives an MO, it examines the MO to see if one of its   unicast IPv6 addresses is listed as the Start Point Address.  If yes,   the router is the Start Point and MUST process the received message   in the following manner.   If the Start Point discovers that the received MO is not a   Measurement Reply, or if it no longer maintains state for the   corresponding Measurement Request, it MUST discard the received   message with no further processing.   The Start Point can use the routing metric objects inside the Metric   Container to evaluate the metrics for the measured P2P route.  If a   routing metric object contains local metric values recorded by   routers on the route, the Start Point can make use of these local   values by aggregating them into an end-to-end metric, according to   the aggregation rules for the specific metric.  A Start Point is then   free to interpret the metrics for the route, according to its local   policy.8.  Security Considerations   In general, the security considerations for the route measurement   mechanism described in this document are similar to those for RPL (as   described inSection 19 of the RPL specification [RFC6550]).   Sections6.1 and10 of [RFC6550] describe RPL's security framework,   which provides data confidentiality, authentication, replay   protection, and delay protection services.  This security framework   is applicable to the route measurement mechanism described here as   well, after taking into account the constraints specified inSection 3.2.Goyal, et al.                 Experimental                     [Page 25]

RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 2013   This document requires that all routers participating in a secure   invocation of the route measurement process use the Security   Configuration chosen by the Start Point.  The intention is to avoid   compromising the overall security of the route measurement due to   some routers using a weaker Security Configuration.  A router is   allowed to participate in a "secure" route measurement only if it can   support the Security Configuration in use, which also specifies the   key in use.  It does not matter whether the key is preinstalled or   dynamically acquired after proper authentication.  The router must   have the key in use before it can process or generate Secure MO   messages.  Hence, from the perspective of the route measurement   mechanism, there is no distinction between the "preinstalled" and   "authenticated" security modes described in the RPL specification   [RFC6550].  Of course, if a compromised router has the key being   used, it could cause the route measurement to fail, or worse, insert   wrong information in Secure MO messages.   A rogue router acting as the Start Point could use the route   measurement mechanism defined in this document to measure routes from   itself to other routers and thus find out key information about the   LLN, e.g., the topological features of the LLN (such as the identity   of the key routers in the topology) or the remaining energy levels   [RFC6551] in the routers.  This information can potentially be used   to attack the LLN.  A rogue router could also use this mechanism to   send bogus Measurement Requests to arbitrary End Points.  If   sufficient Measurement Requests are sent, then it may cause CPU   overload in the routers in the network, drain their batteries, and   cause traffic congestion in the network.  Note that some of these   problems would occur even if the compromised router were to generate   bogus data traffic to arbitrary destinations.   To protect against such misuse, this document allows RPL routers   implementing this mechanism to not process MO messages (or process   such messages selectively), based on a local policy.  For example, an   LLN deployment might require the use of Secure MO messages generated   using a key that could be obtained only after proper authentication.   Note that this document requires that an LLN deployment support   Secure MO messages so that such policies can be enforced where   considered essential.   Since a Measurement Request can travel along a Source Route specified   in the Address vector, some of the security concerns that led to the   deprecation of Type 0 routing headers [RFC5095] may be valid here.   To address such concerns, the mechanism described in this document   includes several remedies, in the form of the following requirements:   o  A route inserted inside the Address vector must be a strict Source      Route and must not include any multicast addresses.Goyal, et al.                 Experimental                     [Page 26]

RFC 6998         Measurement of Routing Metrics in LLNs      August 2013   o  An MO message must not cross the boundaries of the RPL routing      domain where it originated.  A router must not forward a received      MO message further if the next hop belongs to a different RPL      routing domain.  Hence, any security problems associated with the      mechanism would be limited to one RPL routing domain.   o  A router must drop a received Measurement Request if the next-hop      address is not on-link or if it is not a unicast address.9.  IANA Considerations   This document defines two new RPL messages:   o  "Measurement Object" (seeSection 3.1), assigned a value of 0x06      from the "RPL Control Codes" space [RFC6550].   o  "Secure Measurement Object" (seeSection 3.2), assigned a value of      0x86 from the "RPL Control Codes" space [RFC6550].             +------+---------------------------+---------------+             | Code |        Description        |   Reference   |             +------+---------------------------+---------------+             | 0x06 |     Measurement Object    | This document |             | 0x86 | Secure Measurement Object | This document |             +------+---------------------------+---------------+                             RPL Control Codes10.
