In an effort to have the + information in a manageable form, it has been broken into 7 documents + conforming to the current IETF areas (Application, Internet, + Operations & Management, Routing, Security, Sub-IP and Transport). + + For a full introduction, please see the introduction [1]. + +2.0. Document Organization + + The rest of the document sections are described below. + + Sections 3, 4, 5, and 6 each describe the raw analysis of Full, + Draft, and Proposed Standards, and Experimental RFCs. Each RFC is + discussed in its turn starting with RFC 1 and ending with (around) + RFC 3100. The comments for each RFC are "raw" in nature. That is, + each RFC is discussed in a vacuum and problems or issues discussed do + not "look ahead" to see if the problems have already been fixed. + + Section 7 is an analysis of the data presented in Sections 3, 4, 5, + and 6. It is here that all of the results are considered as a whole + and the problems that have been resolved in later RFCs are + correlated. + +3.0. Full Standards + + Full Internet Standards (most commonly simply referred to as + "Standards") are fully mature protocol specification that are widely + implemented and used throughout the Internet. + +3.1. RFC 768 User Datagram Protocol + + Although UDP is a transport protocol there is one reference to the + UDP/IP interface that states; "The UDP module must be able to + determine the source and destination internet addresses and the + protocol field from the internet header." This does not force a + rewrite of the protocol but will clearly cause changes in + implementations. + + + + + + + +Nesser II & Bergstrom Informational [Page 2] + +RFC 3794 IPv4 Addresses in the IETF Transport Area June 2004 + + +3.2. RFC 793 Transmission Control Protocol + + Section 3.1 which specifies the header format for TCP. The TCP + header is free from IPv4 references but there is an inconsistency in + the computation of checksums. The text says: "The checksum also + covers a 96 bit pseudo header conceptually prefixed to the TCP + header. This pseudo header contains the Source Address, the + Destination Address, the Protocol, and TCP length." The first and + second 32-bit words are clearly meant to specify 32-bit IPv4 + addresses. While no modification of the TCP protocol is necessitated + by this problem, an alternate needs to be specified as an update + document, or as part of another IPv6 document. + +3.3. RFC 907 Host Access Protocol specification + + This is a layer 3 protocol, and has as such no IPv4 dependencies. + +3.4. NetBIOS Service Protocols. RFC1001, RFC1002 + + 3.4.1. RFC 1001 PROTOCOL STANDARD FOR A NetBIOS SERVICE ON A + TCP/UDP TRANSPORT: CONCEPTS AND METHODS + + Section 15.4.1. RELEASE BY B NODES defines: + + A NAME RELEASE DEMAND contains the following information: + + - NetBIOS name + - The scope of the NetBIOS name + - Name type: unique or group + - IP address of the releasing node + - Transaction ID + + Section 15.4.2. RELEASE BY P NODES defines: + + A NAME RELEASE REQUEST contains the following information: + + - NetBIOS name + - The scope of the NetBIOS name + - Name type: unique or group + - IP address of the releasing node + - Transaction ID + + + + + + + + + + +Nesser II & Bergstrom Informational [Page 3] + +RFC 3794 IPv4 Addresses in the IETF Transport Area June 2004 + + + A NAME RELEASE RESPONSE contains the following information: + + - NetBIOS name + - The scope of the NetBIOS name + - Name type: unique or group + - IP address of the releasing node + - Transaction ID + - Result: + - Yes: name was released + - No: name was not released, a reason code is provided + + Section 16. NetBIOS SESSION SERVICE states: + + The NetBIOS session service begins after one or more IP + addresses have been found for the target name. These addresses + may have been acquired using the NetBIOS name query + transactions or by other means, such as a local name table or + cache. + + Section 16.1. OVERVIEW OF NetBIOS SESSION SERVICE + + Session service has three phases: + + Session establishment - it is during this phase that the IP + address and TCP port of the called name is determined, and a + TCP connection is established with the remote party. + + 6.1.1. SESSION ESTABLISHMENT PHASE OVERVIEW + + An end-node begins establishment of a session to another node + by somehow acquiring (perhaps using the name query transactions + or a local cache) the IP address of the node or nodes purported + to own the destination name. + + Once the TCP connection is open, the calling node sends session + service request packet. This packet contains the following + information: + + - Calling IP address (see note) + - Calling NetBIOS name + - Called IP address (see note) + - Called NetBIOS name + + NOTE: The IP addresses are obtained from the TCP service + interface. + + + + + + +Nesser II & Bergstrom Informational [Page 4] + +RFC 3794 IPv4 Addresses in the IETF Transport Area June 2004 + + + If a compatible LISTEN exists, and there are adequate + resources, then the session server may transform the existing + TCP connection into the NetBIOS data session. Alternatively, + the session server may redirect, or "retarget" the caller to + another TCP port (and IP address). + + If the caller is redirected, the caller begins the session + establishment anew, but using the new IP address and TCP port + given in the retarget response. Again a TCP connection is + created, and again the calling and called node exchange + credentials. The called party may accept the call, reject the + call, or make a further redirection. + + 17.1. OVERVIEW OF NetBIOS DATAGRAM SERVICE + + Every NetBIOS datagram has a named destination and source. To + transmit a NetBIOS datagram, the datagram service must perform + a name query operation to learn the IP address and the + attributes of the destination NetBIOS name. (This information + may be cached to avoid the overhead of name query on subsequent + NetBIOS datagrams.) + + 17.1.1. UNICAST, MULTICAST, AND BROADCAST + + NetBIOS datagrams may be unicast, multicast, or broadcast. A + NetBIOS datagram addressed to a unique NetBIOS name is unicast. + A NetBIOS datagram addressed to a group NetBIOS name, whether + there are zero, one, or more actual members, is multicast. A + NetBIOS datagram sent using the NetBIOS "Send Broadcast + Datagram" primitive is broadcast. + + 17.1.2. FRAGMENTATION OF NetBIOS DATAGRAMS + + When the header and data of a NetBIOS datagram exceeds the + maximum amount of data allowed in a UDP packet, the NetBIOS + datagram must be fragmented before transmission and reassembled + upon receipt. + + A NetBIOS Datagram is composed of the following protocol + elements: + + - IP header of 20 bytes (minimum) + - UDP header of 8 bytes + - NetBIOS Datagram Header of 14 bytes + - The NetBIOS Datagram data. + + + + + + +Nesser II & Bergstrom Informational [Page 5] + +RFC 3794 IPv4 Addresses in the IETF Transport Area June 2004 + + + 18. NODE CONFIGURATION PARAMETERS + + - B NODES: + - Node's permanent unique name + - Whether IGMP is in use + - Broadcast IP address to use + - Whether NetBIOS session keep-alives are needed + - Usable UDP data field length (to control fragmentation) + - P NODES: + - Node's permanent unique name + - IP address of NBNS + - IP address of NBDD + - Whether NetBIOS session keep-alives are needed + - Usable UDP data field length (to control fragmentation) + - M NODES: + - Node's permanent unique name + - Whether IGMP is in use + - Broadcast IP address to use + - IP address of NBNS + - IP address of NBDD + - Whether NetBIOS session keep-alives are needed + - Usable UDP data field length (to control fragmentation) + + All of the proceeding sections make implicit use of IPv4 addresses + and a new specification should be defined for use of IPv6 underlying + addresses. + + 3.4.2. RFC 1002 PROTOCOL STANDARD FOR A NetBIOS SERVICE ON A + TCP/UDP TRANSPORT: DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS + + Section 4.2.1.3. RESOURCE RECORD defines + + RESOURCE RECORD RR_TYPE field definitions: + + Symbol Value Description: + + A 0x0001 IP address Resource Record (See + REDIRECT NAME QUERY RESPONSE) + + Sections 4.2.2.

However they assume the use of the above defined + packets. The pseudo code may be valid for IPv6 as long as the + packet formats are updated. + +3.5.

Draft Standards + + Draft Standards represent the penultimate standard level in the IETF. + A protocol can only achieve draft standard when there are multiple, + independent, interoperable implementations. Draft Standards are + usually quite mature and widely used. + + 4.1. RFC 3530 Network File System (NFS) version 4 Protocol + + There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification. + + 4.2. RFC 3550 RTP: A Transport Protocol for Real-Time Applications + + There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification. + + 4.3.

Proposed Standards + + Proposed Standards are introductory level documents. There are no + requirements for even a single implementation. In many cases + Proposed are never implemented or advanced in the IETF standards + process. They therefore are often just proposed ideas that are + presented to the Internet community. Sometimes flaws are exposed or + they are one of many competing solutions to problems. In these later + cases, no discussion is presented as it would not serve the purpose + of this discussion. + + 5.01. RFC 1144 Compressing TCP/IP headers for low-speed serial + links + + This RFC is specifically oriented towards TCP/IPv4 packet headers + and will not work in it's current form. Significant work has + already been done on similar algorithms for TCP/IPv6 headers. + + 5.02. RFC 1323 TCP Extensions for High Performance + + There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification. + + 5.03. RFC 1553 Compressing IPX Headers Over WAN Media (CIPX) + + There are no IPv4 dependencies in this specification. + + 5.04. RFC 1692 Transport Multiplexing Protocol (TMux) + + Section 6. Implementation Notes is states: + + Because the TMux mini-header does not contain a TOS field, only + segments with the same IP TOS field should be contained in a + single TMux message. As most systems do not use the TOS + feature, this is not a major restriction. Where the TOS field + is used, it may be desirable to hold several messages under + construction for a host, one for each TOS value. + + Segments containing IP options should not be multiplexed. + + This is clearly IPv4 specific, but a simple restatement in IPv6 + terms will allow complete functionality. + + 5.05.

Experimental RFCs + + Experimental RFCs typically define protocols that do not have + widescale implementation or usage on the Internet. They are often + propriety in nature or used in limited arenas. They are documented + to the Internet community in order to allow potential + interoperability or some other potential useful scenario. In a few + cases they are presented as alternatives to the mainstream solution + to an acknowledged problem. + + 6.1. RFC 908 Reliable Data Protocol (RDP) + + This document is IPv4 limited as stated in the following section: + + 4.1. IP Header Format + + When used in the internet environment, RDP segments are sent + using the version 4 IP header as described in RFC791, "Internet + Protocol." The RDP protocol number is ??? (decimal). The + time-to-live field should be set to a reasonable value for the + network. + + All other fields should be set as specified in RFC-791. + + A new protocol specification would be needed to support IPv6. + + 6.02. RFC 938 Internet Reliable Transaction Protocol functional and + interface specification (IRTP) + + This specification states: + + 4.1. State Variables + + Each IRTP is associated with a single internet address. The + synchronization mechanism of the IRTP depends on the + requirement that each IRTP module knows the internet addresses + of all modules with which it will communicate. For each remote + internet address, an IRTP module must maintain the following + information (called the connection table): + + rem_addr (32 bit remote internet address) + + A new specification that is IPv6 aware would need to be created. + + + + + + + + +Nesser II & Bergstrom Informational [Page 22] + +RFC 3794 IPv4 Addresses in the IETF Transport Area June 2004 + + + 6.03. RFC 998 NETBLT: A bulk data transfer protocol + + This RFC states: + + The active end specifies a passive client through a client- + specific "well-known" 16 bit port number on which the passive + end listens. The active end identifies itself through a 32 bit + Internet address and a unique 16 bit port number. + + Clearly, this is IPv4 dependent, but could easily be modified to + support IPv6 addressing. + + 6.04. RFC 1045 VMTP: Versatile Message Transaction Protocol + + This specification has many IPv4 dependencies in its + implementation appendices. For operations over IPv6 a similar + implementation procedure must be defined. The IPv4 specific + information is show below. + + IV.1. Domain 1 + + For initial use of VMTP, we define the domain with Domain + identifier 1 as follows: + + +-----------+----------------+------------------------+ + | TypeFlags | Discriminator | Internet Address | + +-----------+----------------+------------------------+ + 4 bits 28 bits 32 bits + + The Internet address is the Internet address of the host on + which this entity-id is originally allocated. The + Discriminator is an arbitrary value that is unique relative to + this Internet host address. In addition, the host must + guarantee that this identifier does not get reused for a long + period of time after it becomes invalid. ("Invalid" means that + no VMTP module considers in bound to an entity.) One technique + is to use the lower order bits of a 1 second clock. The clock + need not represent real-time but must never be set back after a + crash. In a simple implementation, using the low order bits of + a clock as the time stamp, the generation of unique identifiers + is overall limited to no more than 1 per second on average. + The type flags were described in Section 3.1. + + An entity may migrate between hosts. Thus, an implementation + can heuristically use the embedded Internet address to locate + an entity but should be prepared to maintain a cache of + redirects for migrated entities, plus accept Notify operations + indicating that migration has occurred. + + + +Nesser II & Bergstrom Informational [Page 23] + +RFC 3794 IPv4 Addresses in the IETF Transport Area June 2004 + + + Entity group identifiers in Domain 1 are structured in one of + two forms, depending on whether they are well-known or + dynamically allocated identifiers. A well-known entity + identifier is structured as: + + +-----------+----------------+------------------------+ + | TypeFlags | Discriminator |Internet Host Group Addr| + +-----------+----------------+------------------------+ + 4 bits 28 bits 32 bits + + with the second high-order bit (GRP) set to 1. This form of + entity identifier is mapped to the Internet host group address + specified in the low-order 32 bits. The Discriminator + distinguishes group identifiers using the same Internet host + group. Well-known entity group identifiers should be allocated + to correspond to the basic services provided by hosts that are + members of the group, not specifically because that service is + provided by VMTP. For example, the well-known entity group + identifier for the domain name service should contain as its + embedded Internet host group address the host group for Domain + Name servers. + + A dynamically allocated entity identifier is structured as: + + +-----------+----------------+------------------------+ + | TypeFlags | Discriminator | Internet Host Addr | + +-----------+----------------+------------------------+ + 4 bits 28 bits 32 bits + + with the second high-order bit (GRP) set to 1. The Internet + address in the low-order 32 bits is a Internet address assigned + to the host that dynamically allocates this entity group + identifier. A dynamically allocated entity group identifier is + mapped to Internet host group address 232.X.X.X where X.X.X are + the low-order 24 bits of the Discriminator subfield of the + entity group identifier. + + We use the following notation for Domain 1 entity identifiers + <10> and propose it use as a standard convention. + + <flags>-<discriminator>-<Internet address> + + + + + + + + + + +Nesser II & Bergstrom Informational [Page 24] + +RFC 3794 IPv4 Addresses in the IETF Transport Area June 2004 + + + where <flags> are [X]{BE,LE,RG,UG}[A] + + X = reserved + BE = big-endian entity + LE = little-endian entity + RG = restricted group + UG = unrestricted group + A = alias + + and <discriminator> is a decimal integer and <Internet address> is + in standard dotted decimal IP address notation. + + V.1. Authentication Domain 1 + + A principal identifier is structured as follows. + + +---------------------------+------------------------+ + | Internet Address | Local User Identifier | + +---------------------------+------------------------+ + 32 bits 32 bits + + VI. IP Implementation + + VMTP is designed to be implemented on the DoD IP Internet + Datagram Protocol (although it may also be implemented as a + local network protocol directly in "raw" network packets.) + + The well-known entity identifiers specified to date are: + + VMTP_MANAGER_GROUP RG-1-224.0.1.0 + Managers for VMTP operations. + + VMTP_DEFAULT_BECLIENT BE-1-224.0.1.0 + Client entity identifier to use when a (big- + endian) host has not determined or been allocated + any client entity identifiers. + + VMTP_DEFAULT_LECLIENT LE-1-224.0.1.0 + Client entity identifier to use when a (little- + endian) host has not determined or been allocated + any client entity identifiers. + + Note that 224.0.1.0 is the host group address assigned to VMTP and + to which all VMTP hosts belong. + + 6.05.
