+Abstract
+
+ This document provides an extension to the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol
+ ("L2TP"), a mechanism for tunneling Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
+ sessions. L2TP lacks a mechanism for a host to provide PPP-related
+ disconnect cause information to another host. This information,
+ provided by the extension described in this document, can be useful
+ for accounting and debugging purposes.
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ L2TP [1] defines a general-purpose mechanism for tunneling PPP over
+ various media. By design, it insulates L2TP operation from the
+ details of the PPP session that is being encapsulated by L2TP. There
+ are, however, cases where it may be desirable for PPP-specific
+ disconnect information to be provided to an L2TP host (L2TP Access
+ Concentrator [LAC] or L2TP Network Server [LNS]) in a descriptive
+ format. The lack of this information is especially a problem when
+ the LAC and LNS are not owned or managed by the same entities.
+
+ The Result and Error Codes defined for L2TP specify only L2TP-
+ specific disconnect information. This document provides an
+ additional Attribute Value Pair (AVP), called PPP Disconnect Cause
+ Code, that MAY be used by an L2TP host to provide PPP-specific
+
+
+
+
+Verma, et al. Standards Track [Page 1]
+
+RFC 3145 L2TP Disconnect Cause Information July 2001
+
+
+ disconnect information to its peer. This AVP should be used in
+ conjunction with, and not as a replacement for, the L2TP Result and
+ Error Code AVPs.
+
+ The PPP Disconnect Cause Code AVP can also be used to provide a
+ human-readable disconnect reason to the user. This AVP should not
+ have any effect on either the functioning of the tunnel or the
+ functioning of the PPP session; it is for informational and logging
+ purposes only.
+
+ 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 BCP 14 [2].
+
+2. PPP Disconnect Cause Code AVP
+
+ The AVP is valid in the L2TP Call-Disconnect-Notify (CDN) message
+ only, and it MUST NOT be marked Mandatory.
+
+ The PPP Disconnect Cause Code AVP is encoded with Vendor ID 0 and an
+ Attribute Type of PPP Disconnect Cause Code (46). The length of the
+ Value field MUST be at least 11 octets. If the length is more than
+ 11 octets, the additional octets MUST contain a descriptive text in
+ UTF-8 [3] format that can be displayed to the user or in a log file.
+ The format of the AVP is shown below.
+
+ 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

+
+ Mandatory (M) bit: MUST be 0.
+
+ Hidden (H) bit: MAY be 1 if the attribute is hidden.
+
+ Length: The length of the entire attribute in octets, expressed as a
+ single octet. The length MUST be at least 11.
+
+ Vendor ID: A two octet value in network byte order; set to 0 to
+ indicate that this is an IETF-assigned attribute.

+
+RFC 3145 L2TP Disconnect Cause Information July 2001
+
+
+ Attribute Type: A two octet value in network byte order; set to 46
+ (PPP Disconnect Cause Code).
+
+ Disconnect Code: A two octet value in network byte order. (Described
+ in section 3 of this document.)
+
+ Control Protocol Number: The PPP Control Protocol number of the
+ primary protocol known to have caused the error, if any. This field
+ may be 0 unless mentioned otherwise in the description of the
+ Disconnect Codes in section 3.
+
+ Direction: A single octet value; specifies the direction in which the
+ Disconnect Code applies.
+
+ The valid values of this field are:
+
+ 0: global error
+ 1: at peer
+ 2: at local
+ 3-255: Reserved
+
+ This field SHOULD be 0 unless documented otherwise in the description
+ of the specific Disconnect Code.
+
+3. Disconnect Codes
+
+ This section contains the list of well-known values of the Disconnect
+ Code field in the PPP Disconnect Cause Code AVP. The IANA will
+ maintain a registry of the up-to-date values (see section 5 of this
+ document). These values should be used in conjunction with the
+ Direction value and the Control Protocol Number field to interpret
+ the specific error condition.
+
+ Unless documented otherwise for a specific Disconnect Code, the
+ Direction value SHOULD be 0.
+
+3.1. Global Errors
+
+ The global error codes, given in the list below, are Disconnect Codes
+ that do not relate to one particular PPP Control Protocol. The
+ Control Protocol Number for these errors thus MUST be set to 0.
+
+ 0 No information available.
+
+ 1 Administrative disconnect.
+
+ 2 Link Control Protocol (LCP) renegotiation at LNS disabled; LNS
+ expects proxy LCP information, LAC did not send it.
+
+
+
+Verma, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
+
+RFC 3145 L2TP Disconnect Cause Information July 2001
+
+
+ 3 Normal Disconnection, LCP Terminate-Request sent.
+
+ Valid Direction values are:
+
+ 1: LCP Terminate-Request sent by peer
+ 2: LCP Terminate-Request sent by local
+
+ 4 Compulsory encryption required by a PPP peer was refused by the
+ other.
+
+ Valid Direction values are:
+
+ 1: Required by local; refused by peer
+ 2: Required by peer; refused by local
+
+3.2. LCP Errors
+
+ The LCP error codes, listed below, are disconnect reasons that are
+ directly related to the failure of PPP peers to negotiate mutually
+ agreeable link parameters. The Control Protocol Number for these
+ errors MUST be set to C021 hexadecimal (LCP).
+
+ 5 FSM (Finite State Machine) Timeout error. (PPP event "TO-".)
+
+ 6 No recognizable LCP packets were received.
+
+ 7 LCP failure: Magic Number error; link possibly looped back.
+
+ 8 LCP link failure: Echo Request timeout.
+
+ 9 Peer has unexpected Endpoint-Discriminator for existing
+ Multilink PPP (MP) bundle.
+
+ 10 Peer has unexpected MRRU for existing MP bundle.
+
+ 11 Peer has unexpected Short-Sequence-Number option for existing
+ MP bundle.
+
+ 12 Compulsory call-back required by a PPP peer was refused by the
+ other.
+
+ Valid Direction values are:
+
+ 1: Required by local; refused by peer
+ 2: Required by peer; refused by local
+

+RFC 3145 L2TP Disconnect Cause Information July 2001
+
+
+3.3. Authentication Errors
+
+ The authentication error codes, listed below, are disconnect reasons
+ that are directly related to authentication failures between the PPP
+ peers. The Control Protocol Number for such errors MUST correspond
+ to the PPP Control Protocol number for the authentication protocol in
+ use.
+
+ 13 FSM Timeout error.
+
+ 14 Peer has unexpected authenticated name for existing MP bundle.
+
+ 15 PPP authentication failure: Authentication protocol
+ unacceptable.
+
+ Valid Direction values are:
+
+ 1: All local authentication protocols were rejected by the
+ peer.
+
+ 2: All authentication protocols requested by peer were
+ unacceptable or unimplemented locally.
+
+ 16 PPP authentication failure: Authentication failed (bad name,
+ password, or secret).
+
+ Valid Direction values are:
+
+ 1: Authentication of peer identity by local system.
+ 2: Authentication of local identity by peer system.
+
+3.4. Network Control Protocol (NCP) Errors
+
+ NCP Errors are disconnect reasons that are directly related to the
+ failure of PPP peers to negotiate a mutually agreeable set of
+ parameters for the network protocols. The Control Protocol Number
+ for such errors SHOULD correspond to the PPP Network Control Protocol
+ number in use. Where multiple network protocols are in use, multiple
+ copies of this AVP MAY be given to indicate failure reasons for each
+ NCP. Otherwise, if only one copy of the AVP is given, the Control
+ Protocol Number SHOULD correspond to the last (most recent) failing
+ NCP.
+
+ 17 FSM Timeout error.
+
+ 18 No NCPs available (all disabled or rejected); no NCPs went to
+ Opened state. (Control Protocol Number may be zero only if
+ neither peer has enabled NCPs.)
+
+
+
+Verma, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
+
+RFC 3145 L2TP Disconnect Cause Information July 2001
+
+
+ 19 NCP failure: failed to converge on acceptable addresses.
+
+ Valid Direction values are:
+
+ 1: Too many Configure-Naks received from peer.
+ 2: Too many Configure-Naks sent to peer.
+
+ 20 NCP failure: user not permitted to use any addresses.
+
+ Valid Direction values are:
+
+ 1: Local link address not acceptable to peer.
+ 2: Remote link address not acceptable to local system.
+
+4. Notes
+
+ This AVP MAY may be sent by either the LNS or LAC. It is generally
+ expected that this AVP will be most useful in sending notification
+ from the LNS to LAC in the compulsory tunneling case, although it is
+ not precluded from use in any other case.
+
+ A draft form of this AVP used Vendor ID 43 (3Com Corporation) and
+ vendor-specific Attribute Type 46. Implementations MAY accept AVPs
+ with these values as equivalent to the message described in this
+ document, but SHOULD NOT transmit an AVP using these values.
+
+5. Security Considerations
+
+ The integrity and confidentiality of this AVP relies on the
+ underlying L2TP security mechanisms. It is intended for logging and
+ diagnostic purposes in the event of PPP link failure and should not
+ pose a threat to system security, but the AVP MAY be hidden as
+ described in section 4.3 of RFC 2661.
+
+ The defined extension does not provide information that would be
+ useful to an attacker. Future extensions should not be defined to
+ lessen security. For instance, it is inappropriate to provide
+ distinguishing information that would inform the peer that a given
+ authentication name is correct, but the password/secret is incorrect.

+
+
+6. IANA Considerations
+
+ IANA has assigned an L2TP Attribute Type value of 46 for the PPP
+ Disconnect Cause Code defined in Section 2.
+
+ This AVP includes an enumerated cause code value, called the
+ "Disconnect Code." Values 0 through 20 are described in this
+ document. Values 21 through 32767 (inclusive) are assigned by the
+ IANA subject to IESG Approval. Values 32768 through 65279
+ (inclusive) are assigned by the IANA on a First Come First Served
+ basis, and are intended for vendor-specific features. Values 65280
+ through 65535 (inclusive) are allocated for Private or Experimental
+ Use, and no assignment through the IANA is expected.
