Some comments on 501bis
by Jari Arkko 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Based on the discussion in the group today, I made a quick read of the beginning parts of 501bis today at: https://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/other-documents/requirements-for-ipv6-in-ict… And I have some comments: > Some parts of this section are loosely based on the NIST/USGv6 profile developed by the US government: > > http <http://www.antd.nist.gov/usgv6/>:// <http://www.antd.nist.gov/usgv6/>www <http://www.antd.nist.gov/usgv6/>. <http://www.antd.nist.gov/usgv6/>antd <http://www.antd.nist.gov/usgv6/>. <http://www.antd.nist.gov/usgv6/>nist <http://www.antd.nist.gov/usgv6/>. <http://www.antd.nist.gov/usgv6/>gov <http://www.antd.nist.gov/usgv6/>/ <http://www.antd.nist.gov/usgv6/>usgv <http://www.antd.nist.gov/usgv6/>6/ <http://www.antd.nist.gov/usgv6/> > There's a DoD *and* USG recommendation, you might want to mention both. I think it would also be useful to point people to the IETF node requirements RFC, as that defines the formal conformance requirements from a standards perspective (but of course does that only for general nodes, so the more specific rules for different device types in 501 and the NIST documents is very useful). The RFC is about to come out, the -bis version is replacing the RFC that was years old. > > Lists of Required RFC /3GPP Standards for Different Type of Hardware > > ... Required RFCs and 3GPP Technical Specifications ... > > Requirements for Host Equipment > > *Mandatory support:* > I'm comparing this to draft-ietf-6man-node-req-bis, and there are some obvious differences. I think it would have been useful to point to this doc for the list of interface-type specific RFCs that are needed (RFC 2464 for Ethernet, for instance). > Optional support: > Revised ICMPv6 [RFC 5095] * This seems wrong. Its not a revised ICMP spec, it is deprecation of RH0. Draft-ietf-6man-node-req-bis marks its as mandatory, and I think you should too. > /*Mobile node:*/In the context of this document a mobile node is a device that connects via some 3GPP specification (such as 3G, GPRS/UMTS or LTE). In situations where the network logic is being provided solely by a dedicated device (A) connected to another device (B), the specification refers to device A and not to device B. If the protocol logic is distributed (for example, a computer with an external Ethernet interface that performs TCP checksum offloading), the aggregate system is being referred to. There's probably a 3GPP specification and testing requirements etc that defines exactly what the rules for a terminal device like this are. You should reference that and ensure that you're not saying something different. (The expertise on the matter seems to be mostly in 3GPP, so you want to be careful in saying something unless merely referring to existing specs. Maybe you are already doing this, I did not get that far in the spec.) > * > > Neighbor Discovery [RFC 4861] * > > * > > > Updated also by RFC 5942, as noted in draft-ietf-6man-node-req-bis RFC 4311 and 4191 are missing from the list of optional supports. * > > *Mandatory support:* > > * > > MLDv2 snooping [RFC 4541] > * This seems like an overkill for a consumer grade equipment (but I do support it for the other types of switches) I have to go to the social event now, will look at more things later. But my overall conclusion is that the document still needs more review... Jari

501bis and some comments
by jouni korhonen 02 Nov '11

02 Nov '11

Folks, I got a brief look at 501bis on some parts, specifically what comes to Mobile Node (3GPP) parts. It would be good to make a check against TS29.061 on the actually supported & required RFC.. or draft-ietf-v6ops-3gpp-eps-08, which takes quite a detailed but condensed peek into 3GPP IPv6 aspects. Quick comments on DHCPv6. The DHCPv6 support for Mobile Node is only for IPv6 parameter configuration via stateless DHCPv6 RFC3736, stateful address configuration (for the Mobile Node) is not supported at all. I also have concerns on IKE and IPsec 'mandatory support' text for Mobile Nodes as that is not the case in today's 3GPP standards as far as I remember. Furthermore, listing both rfc3041 and rfc4941 is not needed as the latter obsoletes the former. On the references part I do not understand why also 3GPP2 is included. Earlier in the document and in the definition part it was made quite clear "Mobile Node" refers only to 3GPP. These are just comments that could be taken into account in some future revision of 501bis. I can actually help crafting the text ;) - Jouni -- Jouni Korhonen Nokia Siemens Networks

The DFZ and supernetting
by Jasper Jans 19 Sep '11

19 Sep '11

Hi, We have had a fair amount of discussions lately on and off this list about the explosion of routes in the DFZ as a result of people wanting PI space and the likes. Others are ofcourse if there is no NAT66 how do you handle multihoming of a small site - but that is besides the point here. I have been wondering - since BGP is all about reachability as a goal and not so much optimal routing/best path/etc. is the easy solution for growth in the DFZ not overly simple? The way I see it you will end up with three sets of routes that you will need to carry on your routers: 1) Own customer routes - these can be any prefix length between /48 and /64 2) Other LIRs aggregates in same RIR region - these are /32 and bigger 3) Supernets for other RIR regions - these are /12 or larger So it seems like the explosion of the DFZ can be managed by supernetting certain routes. Having come up with this idea my next was - ok what am I missing here since it seems a simple and easy fix that would work without breaking much if anything. Can anyone enlighten me why we should not want to head in this direction?

More on IPv6 RA-Guard evasion (IPv6 security)
by Fernando Gont 06 Sep '11

06 Sep '11

Folks, A few months ago I had published a couple of IETF Internet-Drafts to tackle the problem of RA-Guard evasion -- A summary of the problem and pointers to relevant materials is available at: http://blog.si6networks.com/2011/09/router-advertisement-guard-ra-guard.html The two I-Ds are: * http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-gont-v6ops-ra-guard-evasion-01.txt * http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-gont-6man-nd-extension-headers-01.txt The former one explains the different attack vectors, and proposes operational counter-measures. The latter proposes a longer-term solution. I'm planning to revise these two I-Ds soon, so any comments/feedback/discussion would be really welcome. P.S.: In case you haven't, you may want to join the IPv6 Hackers mailing-list: http://www.si6networks.com/community/mailing-lists.html Thanks!

dynamic or static IPv6 prefixes to residential customers
by JORDI PALET MARTINEZ 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hi all, I will like to know, from those deploying IPv6 services to residential customers, if you are planning to provide static or dynamic IPv6 prefixes. Just to be clear, I'm for static prefix delegation to residential customers, however I heard that some ISPs are doing dynamic delegations, the same way as is common today with IPv4. I don't thin it make sense, as the main reason for doing so in IPv4 was address exhaustion and legacy oversubscription models such as PPP/dial-up.

Re: AW: [ipv6-wg] dynamic or static IPv6 prefixes to residential customers
by JORDI PALET MARTINEZ 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

However I think this is an educational problem of those agencies you can't offer dynamic and stable services to access the home, and privacy goes beyond a stable address. So miss-protecting privacy actually is against user services. Regarding the routing table, my guess is that you should aggregate all the customer prefixes, in a small number of prefixes for each BRAS, PoP, etc., so no difference here with IPv4.

not announcing IXP IPv6 peering lan prefixes in global BGP table possibly breaks PMTUD
by Christian Seitz 26 Jul '11

26 Jul '11

Hello, we had an IPv6 path MTU discovery issue last week and I would like to discuss possible solutions here. The problem is a combination of not announcing IXP IPv6 peering prefixes in the global BGP table and activating loose uRPF at the border of a network. I made the following traceroutes and pings after deactivating loose uRPF at the border. Before this I did not see any packet from the LINX peering lan address 2001:7f8:4::d1c:1, because it is not announced to the global BGP table and therefore not routable. The traceroute ended after 2001:450:2001:800e::2 before. chris@router> traceroute 2a01:e0c:1:1599::1 source 2001:x:x:x::2 traceroute6 to 2a01:e0c:1:1599::1 (2a01:e0c:1:1599::1) from 2001:x:x:x::2, 64 hops max, 12 byte packets [...] 2 2001:450:2001:800e::2 (2001:450:2001:800e::2) 0.793 ms 0.611 ms 0.604 ms 3 2001:7f8:4::d1c:1 (2001:7f8:4::d1c:1) 25.692 ms 227.307 ms 18.160 ms 4 2001:1900:5:2::12e (2001:1900:5:2::12e) 26.565 ms 26.310 ms 26.248 ms 5 2a01:e00:2:9::1 (2a01:e00:2:9::1) 26.746 ms 28.774 ms 40.343 ms [...] An ICMP echo request packet with more than 1410 bytes (1450 byte incl. header) shows that there is a smaller MTU between two routers in the backbone of Level3: PING www.free.fr(www.free.fr) 1403 data bytes >From 2001:7f8:4::d1c:1 icmp_seq=86 Packet too big: mtu=1450 1411 bytes from www.free.fr: icmp_seq=87 ttl=53 time=41.5 ms [...] 2001:7f8:4::d1c:1 seems to be a router of Level3 at LINX. The next router 2001:1900:5:2::12e also has an IP address from the Level3 IPv6 allocation. There seems to be an MTU of 1450 bytes between those two routers. The router at LINX sends out an ICMP "Packet too big" with the source address of the interface where he sees the route to the source address. This is the LINX peering lan, which is currently not announced in BGP. We use loose uRPF at the border to drop all packets from source addresses that are not globally routed. The ICMP "Packet too big" gets lost and path MTU discovery is broken. Communication with big packets is not possible. Some IXPs decided not to announce their peering lan prefixes for some reasons, but in combination with loose uRPF this leads to problems like this one. I would like to discuss the best current practise and possible solutions here. Possible solutions from my point of view: 1) Do not activate loose uRPF at the border of any network. 2) Any network where loose uRPF is configured at the border has to configure static routes for the IXP ranges of every RIR and redistribute them in the IGP so there is a valid route for loose uRPF checks. 3) IXPs announce their peering lan prefixes in the global BGP table and make loose uRPF work for the rest of the world. Members of the IXPs should possibly filter BGP announcements of the IXP peering lan prefixes from external peers when they do not use "next-hop-self" in iBGP within their network. 4) Remove tunnels, use native IPv6. There will always be links with an MTU lower than 1500 byte (access), so this is possibly not the best solution. 5) ? Regards from Berlin, Chris

Reminder: Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey 2011
by Paul Rendek 25 Jul '11

25 Jul '11

[Apologies for duplicate mails] Dear Colleagues, There's just one week left to complete the Global IPv6 Deployment Monitoring Survey 2011. Take part online now at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GlobalIPv6survey2011 This survey has been designed by GNKS Consult in collaboration with TNO and the RIPE NCC to further understand where the community stands on IPv6 and what needs be done to ensure that the Internet community is ready for the widespread adoption of IPv6. Anyone can participate in this survey and we hope that the results will establish a comprehensive view of current IPv6 penetration and future plans for IPv6 deployment. The survey comprises 23 questions and can be completed in about 15 minutes. For those without IPv6 allocations or assignments or who have not yet deployed IPv6, there will be fewer questions. The survey will close on 31 July 2011. We thank you for your time and interest in completing this survey. If you have any questions concerning the survey, please email <info(a)gnksconsult.com>. For more information about the survey and links to previous year's survey results, please see: https://www.ripe.net/internet-coordination/news/industry-developments/globa… Regards, Paul Rendek RIPE NCC Head of External Relations and Communication
