Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet + Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state + and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. + +Copyright Notice + + Copyright (C) The Internet Society (2001). All Rights Reserved. + +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 + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + |M|H| rsvd | Length | Vendor ID | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Attribute Type | Disconnect Code | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Control Protocol Number | Direction | Message... + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- + + Figure 1: PPP Disconnect Cause Code AVP + + 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.

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.

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.

Standards Track [Page 4] + +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. + + + + + + + + + + + + +Verma, et al. Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 3145 L2TP Disconnect Cause Information July 2001 + + +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. + +7.
