+Abstract
+
+ The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] provides a standard method of
+ encapsulating Network Layer protocol information over point-to-point
+ links. PPP also defines an extensible Link Control Protocol, and
+ proposes a family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for
+ establishing and configuring different network-layer protocols.
+
+ This document defines the method for transmission of IP Version 6 [2]
+ packets over PPP links as well as the Network Control Protocol (NCP)
+ for establishing and configuring the IPv6 over PPP. It also specifies
+ the method of forming IPv6 link-local addresses on PPP links.

+
+1. Introduction
+
+ PPP has three main components:
+
+ 1) A method for encapsulating datagrams over serial links.
+
+ 2) A Link Control Protocol (LCP) for establishing, configuring, and
+ testing the data-link connection.
+
+ 3) A family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing and
+ configuring different network-layer protocols.
+
+ In order to establish communications over a point-to-point link, each
+ end of the PPP link must first send LCP packets to configure and test
+ the data link. After the link has been established and optional
+ facilities have been negotiated as needed by the LCP, PPP must send
+ NCP packets to choose and configure one or more network-layer
+ protocols. Once each of the chosen network-layer protocols has been
+ configured, datagrams from each network-layer protocol can be sent
+ over the link.
+
+ In this document, the NCP for establishing and configuring the IPv6
+ over PPP is referred as the IPv6 Control Protocol (IPV6CP).
+
+ The link will remain configured for communications until explicit LCP
+ or NCP packets close the link down, or until some external event
+ occurs (power failure at the other end, carrier drop, etc.).
+
+1.1. Specification of Requirements
+
+ In this document, several words are used to signify the requirements
+ of the specification.
+
+ The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
+ "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
+ document are to be interpreted as described in [7].
+
+2. Sending IPv6 Datagrams
+
+ Before any IPv6 packets may be communicated, PPP MUST reach the
+ Network-Layer Protocol phase, and the IPv6 Control Protocol MUST
+ reach the Opened state.
+
+ Exactly one IPv6 packet is encapsulated in the Information field of
+ PPP Data Link Layer frames where the Protocol field indicates type
+ hex 0057 (Internet Protocol Version 6).
+
+
+
+Haskin & Allen Standards Track [Page 2]
+
+RFC 2472 IP Version 6 over PPP December 1998
+
+
+ The maximum length of an IPv6 packet transmitted over a PPP link is
+ the same as the maximum length of the Information field of a PPP data
+ link layer frame. PPP links supporting IPv6 MUST allow the
+ information field at least as large as the minimum link MTU size
+ required for IPv6 [2].
+
+3. A PPP Network Control Protocol for IPv6
+
+ The IPv6 Control Protocol (IPV6CP) is responsible for configuring,
+ enabling, and disabling the IPv6 protocol modules on both ends of the
+ point-to-point link. IPV6CP uses the same packet exchange mechanism
+ as the Link Control Protocol (LCP). IPV6CP packets may not be
+ exchanged until PPP has reached the Network-Layer Protocol phase.
+ IPV6CP packets received before this phase is reached should be
+ silently discarded.
+
+ The IPv6 Control Protocol is exactly the same as the Link Control
+ Protocol [1] with the following exceptions:
+
+ Data Link Layer Protocol Field
+
+ Exactly one IPV6CP packet is encapsulated in the Information
+ field of PPP Data Link Layer frames where the Protocol field
+ indicates type hex 8057 (IPv6 Control Protocol).
+
+ Code field
+
+ Only Codes 1 through 7 (Configure-Request, Configure-Ack,
+ Configure-Nak, Configure-Reject, Terminate-Request,
+ Terminate-Ack and Code-Reject) are used. Other Codes should
+ be treated as unrecognized and should result in Code-Rejects.
+
+ Timeouts
+
+ IPV6CP packets may not be exchanged until PPP has reached the
+ Network-Layer Protocol phase. An implementation should be
+ prepared to wait for Authentication and Link Quality
+ Determination to finish before timing out waiting for a
+ Configure-Ack or other response. It is suggested that an
+ implementation give up only after user intervention or a
+ configurable amount of time.
+
+ Configuration Option Types
+
+ IPV6CP has a distinct set of Configuration Options.

+RFC 2472 IP Version 6 over PPP December 1998
+
+
+4. IPV6CP Configuration Options
+
+ IPV6CP Configuration Options allow negotiation of desirable IPv6
+ parameters. IPV6CP uses the same Configuration Option format defined
+ for LCP [1], with a separate set of Options. If a Configuration
+ Option is not included in a Configure-Request packet, the default
+ value for that Configuration Option is assumed.
+
+ Up-to-date values of the IPV6CP Option Type field are specified in
+ the most recent "Assigned Numbers" RFC [4]. Current values are
+ assigned as follows:
+
+ 1 Interface-Identifier
+ 2 IPv6-Compression-Protocol
+
+ The only IPV6CP options defined in this document are Interface-
+ Identifier and IPv6-Compression-Protocol. Any other IPV6CP
+ configuration options that can be defined over time are to be defined
+ in separate documents.
+
+4.1. Interface-Identifier
+
+ Description
+
+ This Configuration Option provides a way to negotiate a unique 64-
+ bit interface identifier to be used for the address
+ autoconfiguration [3] at the local end of the link (see section 5).
+ A Configure-Request MUST contain exactly one instance of the
+ Interface-Identifier option [1]. The interface identifier MUST be
+ unique within the PPP link; i.e. upon completion of the
+ negotiation different Interface-Identifier values are to be
+ selected for the ends of the PPP link. The interface identifier
+ MAY also be unique over a broader scope.
+
+ Before this Configuration Option is requested, an implementation
+ chooses its tentative Interface-Identifier. The non-zero value of
+ the tentative Interface-Identifier SHOULD be chosen such that the
+ value is both unique to the link and, if possible, consistently
+ reproducible across initializations of the IPV6CP finite state
+ machine (administrative Close and reOpen, reboots, etc). The
+ rationale for preferring a consistently reproducible unique
+ interface identifier to a completely random interface identifier is
+ to provide stability to global scope addresses that can be formed
+ from the interface identifier.
+
+ Assuming that interface identifier bits are numbered from 0 to 63
+ in canonical bit order where the most significant bit is the bit
+ number 0, the bit number 6 is the "u" bit (universal/local bit
+
+
+
+Haskin & Allen Standards Track [Page 4]
+
+RFC 2472 IP Version 6 over PPP December 1998
+
+
+ in IEEE EUI-64 [5] terminology) which indicates whether or not the
+ interface identifier is based on a globally unique IEEE identifier
+ (EUI-48 or EUI-64 [5]) (see the case 1 below). It is set to
+ one (1) if a globally unique IEEE identifier is used to derive
+ the interface identifier, and it is set to zero (0) otherwise.
+
+ The following are methods for choosing the tentative Interface
+ Identifier in the preference order:
+
+ 1) If an IEEE global identifier (EUI-48 or EUI-64) is
+ available anywhere on the node, it should be used to construct
+ the tentative Interface-Identifier due to its uniqueness
+ properties. When extracting an IEEE global identifier from
+ another device on the node, care should be taken to that the
+ extracted identifier is presented in canonical ordering [8].
+
+ The only transformation from an EUI-64 identifier is to invert
+ the "u" bit (universal/local bit in IEEE EUI-64 terminology).
+ For example, for a globally unique EUI-64 identifier of the
+ form:
+
+ most-significant least-significant
+ bit bit
+ |0 1|1 3|3 4|4 6|
+ |0 5|6 1|2 7|8 3|
+ +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
+ |cccccc0gcccccccc|cccccccceeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|
+ +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
+
+ where "c" are the bits of the assigned company_id, "0" is the
+ value of the universal/local bit to indicate global scope, "g"
+ is group/individual bit, and "e" are the bits of the extension
+ identifier,
+
+ the IPv6 interface identifier would be of the form:
+
+ most-significant least-significant
+ bit bit
+ |0 1|1 3|3 4|4 6|
+ |0 5|6 1|2 7|8 3|
+ +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
+ |cccccc1gcccccccc|cccccccceeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|
+ +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
+
+ The only change is inverting the value of the universal/local
+ bit.
+
+
+
+
+
+Haskin & Allen Standards Track [Page 5]
+
+RFC 2472 IP Version 6 over PPP December 1998
+
+
+ In the case of a EUI-48 identifier, it is first converted to the
+ EUI-64 format by inserting two bytes, with hexadecimal values of
+ 0xFF and 0xFE, in the middle of the 48 bit MAC (between the
+ company_id and extension-identifier portions of the EUI-48
+ value). For example, for a globally unique 48 bit EUI-48
+ identifier of the form:
+
+ most-significant least-significant
+ bit bit
+ |0 1|1 3|3 4|
+ |0 5|6 1|2 7|
+ +----------------+----------------+----------------+
+ |cccccc0gcccccccc|cccccccceeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|
+ +----------------+----------------+----------------+
+
+ where "c" are the bits of the assigned company_id, "0" is the
+ value of the universal/local bit to indicate global scope, "g"
+ is group/individual bit, and "e" are the bits of the extension
+ identifier, the IPv6 interface identifier would be of the form:
+
+ most-significant least-significant
+ bit bit
+ |0 1|1 3|3 4|4 6|
+ |0 5|6 1|2 7|8 3|
+ +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
+ |cccccc1gcccccccc|cccccccc11111111|11111110eeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|
+ +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
+
+ 2) If an IEEE global identifier is not available a different source
+ of uniqueness should be used. Suggested sources of uniqueness
+ include link-layer addresses, machine serial numbers, et cetera.
+
+ In this case the "u" bit of the interface identifier MUST be set
+ to zero (0).
+
+ 3) If a good source of uniqueness cannot be found, it is
+ recommended that a random number be generated. In this case the
+ "u" bit of the interface identifier MUST be set to zero (0).
+
+ Good sources [1] of uniqueness or randomness are required for the
+ Interface-Identifier negotiation to succeed. If neither a unique
+ number or a random number can be generated it is recommended that a
+ zero value be used for the Interface-Identifier transmitted in the
+ Configure-Request. In this case the PPP peer may provide a valid
+ non-zero Interface-Identifier in its response as described below.
+ Note that if at least one of the PPP peers is able to generate
+ separate non-zero numbers for itself and its peer, the identifier
+ negotiation will succeed.
+

+RFC 2472 IP Version 6 over PPP December 1998
+
+
+ When a Configure-Request is received with the Interface-Identifier
+ Configuration Option and the receiving peer implements this option,
+ the received Interface-Identifier is compared with the Interface-
+ Identifier of the last Configure-Request sent to the peer.
+ Depending on the result of the comparison an implementation MUST
+ respond in one of the following ways:
+
+ If the two Interface-Identifiers are different but the received
+ Interface-Identifier is zero, a Configure-Nak is sent with a non-
+ zero Interface-Identifier value suggested for use by the remote
+ peer. Such a suggested Interface-Identifier MUST be different from
+ the Interface-Identifier of the last Configure-Request sent to the
+ peer. It is recommended that the value suggested be consistently
+ reproducible across initializations of the IPV6CP finite state
+ machine (administrative Close and reOpen, reboots, etc). The "u"
+ universal/local) bit of the suggested identifier MUST be set to
+ zero (0) regardless of its source unless the globally unique EUI-
+ 48/EUI-64 derived identifier is provided for the exclusive use by
+ the remote peer.
+
+ If the two Interface-Identifiers are different and the received
+ Interface-Identifier is not zero, the Interface-Identifier MUST be
+ acknowledged, i.e. a Configure-Ack is sent with the requested
+ Interface-Identifier, meaning that the responding peer agrees with
+ the Interface-Identifier requested.
+
+ If the two Interface-Identifiers are equal and are not zero, a
+ Configure-Nak MUST be sent specifying a different non-zero
+ Interface-Identifier value suggested for use by the remote peer.
+ It is recommended that the value suggested be consistently
+ reproducible across initializations of the IPV6CP finite state
+ machine (administrative Close and reOpen, reboots, etc). The "u"
+ universal/local) bit of the suggested identifier MUST be set to
+ zero (0) regardless of its source unless the globally unique EUI-
+ 48/EUI-64 derived identifier is provided for the exclusive use by
+ the remote peer.
+
+ If the two Interface-Identifiers are equal to zero, the Interface-
+ Identifiers negotiation MUST be terminated by transmitting the
+ Configure-Reject with the Interface-Identifier value set to zero.
+ In this case a unique Interface-Identifier can not be negotiated.
+
+ If a Configure-Request is received with the Interface-Identifier
+ Configuration Option and the receiving peer does not implement this
+ option, Configure-Rej is sent.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Haskin & Allen Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 2472 IP Version 6 over PPP December 1998
+
+
+ A new Configure-Request SHOULD NOT be sent to the peer until normal
+ processing would cause it to be sent (that is, until a Configure-
+ Nak is received or the Restart timer runs out).
+
+ A new Configure-Request MUST NOT contain the Interface-Identifier
+ option if a valid Interface-Identifier Configure-Reject is
+ received.
+
+ Reception of a Configure-Nak with a suggested Interface-Identifier
+ different from that of the last Configure-Nak sent to the peer
+ indicates a unique Interface-Identifier. In this case a new
+ Configure-Request MUST be sent with the identifier value suggested
+ in the last Configure-Nak from the peer. But if the received
+ Interface-Identifier is equal to the one sent in the last
+ Configure-Nak, a new Interface-Identifier MUST be chosen. In this
+ case, a new Configure-Request SHOULD be sent with the new tentative
+ Interface-Identifier. This sequence (transmit Configure-Request,
+ receive Configure-Request, transmit Configure-Nak, receive
+ Configure-Nak) might occur a few times, but it is extremely
+ unlikely to occur repeatedly. More likely, the Interface-
+ Identifiers chosen at either end will quickly diverge, terminating
+ the sequence.
+
+ If negotiation of the Interface-Identifier is required, and the
+ peer did not provide the option in its Configure-Request, the
+ option SHOULD be appended to a Configure-Nak. The tentative value
+ of the Interface-Identifier given must be acceptable as the remote
+ Interface-Identifier; i.e. it should be different from the
+ identifier value selected for the local end of the PPP link. The
+ next Configure-Request from the peer may include this option. If
+ the next Configure-Request does not include this option the peer
+ MUST NOT send another Configure-Nak with this option included. It
+ should assume that the peer's implementation does not support this
+ option.
+
+ By default, an implementation SHOULD attempt to negotiate the
+ Interface-Identifier for its end of the PPP connection.
+
+ A summary of the Interface-Identifier Configuration Option format is
+ shown below. The fields are transmitted from left to right.

+
+4.2. IPv6-Compression-Protocol
+
+ Description
+
+ This Configuration Option provides a way to negotiate the use of a
+ specific IPv6 packet compression protocol. The
+ IPv6-Compression-Protocol Configuration Option is used to indicate the
+ ability to receive compressed packets. Each end of the link must
+ separately request this option if bi-directional compression is
+ desired. By default, compression is not enabled.
+
+ IPv6 compression negotiated with this option is specific to IPv6
+ datagrams and is not to be confused with compression resulting from
+ negotiations via Compression Control Protocol (CCP), which potentially
+ effect all datagrams.
+
+ A summary of the IPv6-Compression-Protocol Configuration Option format
+ is shown below. The fields are transmitted from left to right.

+ IPv6-Compression-Protocol
+
+ The IPv6-Compression-Protocol field is two octets and indicates
+ the compression protocol desired. Values for this field are
+ always the same as the PPP Data Link Layer Protocol field values
+ for that same compression protocol.
+
+ No IPv6-Compression-Protocol field values are currently assigned.
+ Specific assignments will be made in documents that define
+ specific compression algorithms.
+
+ Data
+
+ The Data field is zero or more octets and contains additional

+
+ Default
+
+ No IPv6 compression protocol enabled.
+
+5. Stateless Autoconfiguration and Link-Local Addresses
+
+ The Interface Identifier of IPv6 unicast addresses [6] of a PPP
+ interface, SHOULD be negotiated in the IPV6CP phase of the PPP
+ connection setup (see section 4.1). If no valid Interface Identifier
+ has been successfully negotiated, procedures for recovering from such
+ a case are unspecified. One approach is to manually configure the
+ Interface Identifier of the interface.
+
+ As long as the Interface Identifier is negotiated in the IPV6CP phase
+ of the PPP connection setup, it is redundant to perform duplicate
+ address detection as a part of the IPv6 Stateless Autoconfiguration
+
+
+
+Haskin & Allen Standards Track [Page 10]
+
+RFC 2472 IP Version 6 over PPP December 1998
+
+
+ protocol [3]. Therefore it is recommended that for PPP links with
+ the IPV6CP Interface-Identifier option enabled the default value of
+ the DupAddrDetectTransmits autoconfiguration variable [3] be zero.
+
+ Link-local addresses of PPP interfaces have the following format:
+
+ | 10 bits | 54 bits | 64 bits |
+ +----------+------------------------+-----------------------------+
+ |1111111010| 0 | Interface Identifier |
+ +----------+------------------------+-----------------------------+
+
+ The most significant 10 bits of the address is the Link-Local prefix
+ FE80::. 54 zero bits pad out the address between the Link-Local
+ prefix and the Interface Identifier fields.
+
+6. Security Considerations
+
+ The IPv6 Control Protocol extension to PPP can be used with all
+ defined PPP authentication and encryption mechanisms.
+

+ This document borrows from the Magic-Number LCP option and as such is
+ partially based on previous work done by the PPP working group.
+
+8. Changes from RFC-2023
+
+ The following changes were made from RFC-2023 "IP Version 6 over
+ PPP":
+
+ - Changed to use "Interface Identifier" instead of the "Interface
+ Token" term according to the terminology adopted in [6].
+
+ - Increased the size of Interface Identifier to 64 bits according to
+ the newly adopted IPv6 addressing architecture [6].
+
+ - Added methods for selection of an interface identifier that is
+ consistently reproducible across initializations of the IPV6CP
+ finite state machine.
+
+ - Added the interface identifier selection methods for generating
+ globally unique interface identifier from an unique an IEEE global
+ identifier when it is available anywhere on the node.
+
+ - Changed to send a Configure-Nak instead a Configure-Ack in response
+ to receiving a Configure-Request with a zero Interface-Identifier
+ value.
+
+
+
+
+Haskin & Allen Standards Track [Page 11]
+
+RFC 2472 IP Version 6 over PPP December 1998
+
+
+ - Replaced the value assignment of the IPv6-Compression-Protocol
+ field of the IPv6-Compression-Protocol Configuration option with
+ the text stating that no IPv6-Compression-Protocol field values are
+ currently assigned and that specific assignments will be made in
+ documents that define specific compression algorithms.
+
+ - Added new and updated references.
+
+ - Minor text clarifications and improvements.
