Introduction + + This protocol specification defines methods to encapsulate and + decapsulate ESP packets inside UDP packets for traversing Network + Address Translators (NATs) (see [RFC3715], section 2.2, case i). The + UDP port numbers are the same as those used by IKE traffic, as + defined in [RFC3947]. + + The sharing of the port numbers for both IKE and UDP encapsulated ESP + traffic was selected because it offers better scaling (only one NAT + mapping in the NAT; no need to send separate IKE keepalives), easier + configuration (only one port to be configured in firewalls), and + easier implementation. + + A client's needs should determine whether transport mode or tunnel + mode is to be supported (see [RFC3715], Section 3, "Telecommuter + scenario"). L2TP/IPsec clients MUST support the modes as defined in + [RFC3193]. IPsec tunnel mode clients MUST support tunnel mode. + + + + + +Huttunen, et al. Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 3948 UDP Encapsulation of IPsec ESP Packets January 2005 + + + An IKE implementation supporting this protocol specification MUST NOT + use the ESP SPI field zero for ESP packets. This ensures that IKE + packets and ESP packets can be distinguished from each other. + + As defined in this document, UDP encapsulation of ESP packets is + written in terms of IPv4 headers. There is no technical reason why + an IPv6 header could not be used as the outer header and/or as the + inner header. + + Because the protection of the outer IP addresses in IPsec AH is + inherently incompatible with NAT, the IPsec AH was left out of the + scope of this protocol specification. This protocol also assumes + that IKE (IKEv1 [RFC2401] or IKEv2 [IKEv2]) is used to negotiate the + IPsec SAs. Manual keying is not supported. + + 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 [RFC2119]. + +2.

Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 3948 UDP Encapsulation of IPsec ESP Packets January 2005 + + +3. Encapsulation and Decapsulation Procedures + +3.1. Auxiliary Procedures + +3.1.1. Tunnel Mode Decapsulation NAT Procedure + + When a tunnel mode has been used to transmit packets (see [RFC3715], + section 3, criteria "Mode support" and "Telecommuter scenario"), the + inner IP header can contain addresses that are not suitable for the + current network. This procedure defines how these addresses are to + be converted to suitable addresses for the current network. + + Depending on local policy, one of the following MUST be done: + + 1. If a valid source IP address space has been defined in the policy + for the encapsulated packets from the peer, check that the source + IP address of the inner packet is valid according to the policy. + 2. If an address has been assigned for the remote peer, check that + the source IP address used in the inner packet is the assigned IP + address. + 3. NAT is performed for the packet, making it suitable for transport + in the local network. + +3.1.2. Transport Mode Decapsulation NAT Procedure + + When a transport mode has been used to transmit packets, contained + TCP or UDP headers will have incorrect checksums due to the change of + parts of the IP header during transit. This procedure defines how to + fix these checksums (see [RFC3715], section 2.1, case b). + + Depending on local policy, one of the following MUST be done: + + 1. If the protocol header after the ESP header is a TCP/UDP header + and the peer's real source and destination IP address have been + received according to [RFC3947], incrementally recompute the + TCP/UDP checksum: + + * Subtract the IP source address in the received packet from the + checksum. + * Add the real IP source address received via IKE to the + checksum (obtained from the NAT-OA) + * Subtract the IP destination address in the received packet + from the checksum. + * Add the real IP destination address received via IKE to the + checksum (obtained from the NAT-OA). + Note: If the received and real address are the same for a given + address (e.g., say the source address), the operations cancel and + don't need to be performed. + + + +Huttunen, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 3948 UDP Encapsulation of IPsec ESP Packets January 2005 + + + 2. If the protocol header after the ESP header is a TCP/UDP header, + recompute the checksum field in the TCP/UDP header. + + 3. If the protocol header after the ESP header is a UDP header, set + the checksum field to zero in the UDP header. If the protocol + after the ESP header is a TCP header, and if there is an option + to flag to the stack that the TCP checksum does not need to be + computed, then that flag MAY be used. This SHOULD only be done + for transport mode, and if the packet is integrity protected. + Tunnel mode TCP checksums MUST be verified. (This is not a + violation to the spirit of section 4.2.2.7 in [RFC1122] because a + checksum is being generated by the sender and verified by the + receiver. That checksum is the integrity over the packet + performed by IPsec.) + + In addition an implementation MAY fix any contained protocols that + have been broken by NAT (see [RFC3715], section 2.1, case g). + +3.2.

NAT Keepalive Procedure + + The sole purpose of sending NAT-keepalive packets is to keep NAT + mappings alive for the duration of a connection between the peers + (see [RFC3715], Section 2.2, case j). Reception of NAT-keepalive + packets MUST NOT be used to detect whether a connection is live. + + A peer MAY send a NAT-keepalive packet if one or more phase I or + phase II SAs exist between the peers, or if such an SA has existed at + most N minutes earlier. N is a locally configurable parameter with a + default value of 5 minutes. + + A peer SHOULD send a NAT-keepalive packet if a need for it is + detected according to [RFC3947] and if no other packet to the peer + has been sent in M seconds. M is a locally configurable parameter + with a default value of 20 seconds. + + + + + + +Huttunen, et al. Standards Track [Page 7] + +RFC 3948 UDP Encapsulation of IPsec ESP Packets January 2005 + + +5. Security Considerations + +5.1. Tunnel Mode Conflict + + Implementors are warned that it is possible for remote peers to + negotiate entries that overlap in an SGW (security gateway), an issue + affecting tunnel mode (see [RFC3715], section 2.1, case e). + + +----+ \ / + | |-------------|----\ + +----+ / \ \ + Ari's NAT 1 \ + Laptop \ + 10.1.2.3 \ + +----+ \ / \ +----+ +----+ + | |-------------|----------+------| |----------| | + +----+ / \ +----+ +----+ + Bob's NAT 2 SGW Suzy's + Laptop Server + 10.1.2.3 + + Because SGW will now see two possible SAs that lead to 10.1.2.3, it + can become confused about where to send packets coming from Suzy's + server. Implementors MUST devise ways of preventing this from + occurring. + + It is RECOMMENDED that SGW either assign locally unique IP addresses + to Ari's and Bob's laptop (by using a protocol such as DHCP over + IPsec) or use NAT to change Ari's and Bob's laptop source IP + addresses to these locally unique addresses before sending packets + forward to Suzy's server. This covers the "Scaling" criteria of + section 3 in [RFC3715]. + + Please see Appendix A. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Huttunen, et al. Standards Track [Page 8] + +RFC 3948 UDP Encapsulation of IPsec ESP Packets January 2005 + + +5.2. Transport Mode Conflict + + Another similar issue may occur in transport mode, with 2 clients, + Ari and Bob, behind the same NAT talking securely to the same server + (see [RFC3715], Section 2.1, case e). + + Cliff wants to talk in the clear to the same server. + + +----+ + | | + +----+ \ + Ari's \ + Laptop \ + 10.1.2.3 \ + +----+ \ / +----+ + | |-----+-----------------| | + +----+ / \ +----+ + Bob's NAT Server + Laptop / + 10.1.2.4 / + / + +----+ / + | |/ + +----+ + Cliff's + Laptop + 10.1.2.5 + + Now, transport SAs on the server will look like this: + + To Ari: Server to NAT, <traffic desc1>, UDP encap <4500, Y> + + To Bob: Server to NAT, <traffic desc2>, UDP encap <4500, Z> + + Cliff's traffic is in the clear, so there is no SA. + + <traffic desc> is the protocol and port information. The UDP encap + ports are the ports used in UDP-encapsulated ESP format of section + 2.1. Y,Z are the dynamic ports assigned by the NAT during the IKE + negotiation. So IKE traffic from Ari's laptop goes out on UDP + <4500,4500>. It reaches the server as UDP <Y,4500>, where Y is the + dynamically assigned port. + + If the <traffic desc1> overlaps <traffic desc2>, then simple filter + lookups may not be sufficient to determine which SA has to be used to + send traffic. Implementations MUST handle this situation, either by + disallowing conflicting connections, or by other means. + + + + +Huttunen, et al. Standards Track [Page 9] + +RFC 3948 UDP Encapsulation of IPsec ESP Packets January 2005 + + + Assume now that Cliff wants to connect to the server in the clear. + This is going to be difficult to configure, as the server already has + a policy (from Server to the NAT's external address) for securing + <traffic desc>. For totally non-overlapping traffic descriptions, + this is possible. + + Sample server policy could be as follows: + + To Ari: Server to NAT, All UDP, secure + + To Bob: Server to NAT, All TCP, secure + + To Cliff: Server to NAT, ALL ICMP, clear text + + Note that this policy also lets Ari and Bob send cleartext ICMP to + the server. + + The server sees all clients behind the NAT as the same IP address, so + setting up different policies for the same traffic descriptor is in + principle impossible. + + A problematic example of configuration on the server is as follows: + + Server to NAT, TCP, secure (for Ari and Bob) + + Server to NAT, TCP, clear (for Cliff) + + The server cannot enforce his policy, as it is possible that + misbehaving Bob sends traffic in the clear. This is + indistinguishable from when Cliff sends traffic in the clear. So it + is impossible to guarantee security from some clients behind a NAT, + while allowing clear text from different clients behind the SAME NAT. + If the server's security policy allows this, however, it can do + best-effort security: If the client from behind the NAT initiates + security, his connection will be secured. If he sends in the clear, + the server will still accept that clear text. + + For security guarantees, the above problematic scenario MUST NOT be + allowed on servers. For best effort security, this scenario MAY be + used. + + Please see Appendix A. + +6.

Standards Track [Page 11] + +RFC 3948 UDP Encapsulation of IPsec ESP Packets January 2005 + + +Appendix A. Clarification of Potential NAT Multiple Client Solutions + + This appendix provides clarification about potential solutions to the + problem of multiple clients behind the same NAT simultaneously + connecting to the same destination IP address. + + Sections 5.1 and 5.2 say that you MUST avoid this problem. As this + is not a matter of wire protocol, but a matter local implementation, + the mechanisms do not belong in the protocol specification itself. + They are instead listed in this appendix. + + Choosing an option will likely depend on the scenarios for which one + uses/supports IPsec NAT-T. This list is not meant to be exhaustive, + so other solutions may exist. We first describe the generic choices + that solve the problem for all upper-layer protocols. + + Generic choices for ESP transport mode: + + Tr1) Implement a built-in NAT (network address translation) above + IPsec decapsulation. + + Tr2) Implement a built-in NAPT (network address port translation) + above IPsec decapsulation. + + Tr3) An initiator may decide not to request transport mode once NAT + is detected and may instead request a tunnel-mode SA. This may be a + retry after transport mode is denied by the responder, or the + initiator may choose to propose a tunnel SA initially. This is no + more difficult than knowing whether to propose transport mode or + tunnel mode without NAT. If for some reason the responder prefers or + requires tunnel mode for NAT traversal, it must reject the quick mode + SA proposal for transport mode. + + Generic choices for ESP tunnel mode: + + Tn1) Same as Tr1. + + Tn2) Same as Tr2. + + Tn3) This option is possible if an initiator can be assigned an + address through its tunnel SA, with the responder using DHCP. The + initiator may initially request an internal address via the + DHCP-IPsec method, regardless of whether it knows it is behind a NAT. + It may re-initiate an IKE quick mode negotiation for DHCP tunnel SA + after the responder fails the quick mode SA transport mode proposal. + This happens either when a NAT-OA payload is sent or because it + + + + + +Huttunen, et al. Standards Track [Page 12] + +RFC 3948 UDP Encapsulation of IPsec ESP Packets January 2005 + + + discovers from NAT-D that the initiator is behind a NAT and its local + configuration/policy will only accept a NAT connection when being + assigned an address through DHCP-IPsec. + + There are also implementation choices that offer limited + interoperability. Implementors should specify which applications or + protocols should work if these options are selected. Note that + neither Tr4 nor Tn4, as described below, are expected to work with + TCP traffic. + + Limited interoperability choices for ESP transport mode: + + Tr4) Implement upper-layer protocol awareness of the inbound and + outbound IPsec SA so that it doesn't use the source IP and the source + port as the session identifier (e.g., an L2TP session ID mapped to + the IPsec SA pair that doesn't use the UDP source port or the source + IP address for peer uniqueness). + + Tr5) Implement application integration with IKE initiation so that it + can rebind to a different source port if the IKE quick mode SA + proposal is rejected by the responder; then it can repropose the new + QM selector. + + Limited interoperability choices for ESP tunnel mode: + + Tn4) Same as Tr4. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Huttunen, et al.
