+ DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 Options for
+ Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) Discovery
+
+Abstract
+
+ This document defines new Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv4
+ and DHCPv6) options to enable a mobile node to discover Access
+ Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) entities in an IP
+ network. ANDSF is being developed in the Third Generation
+ Partnership Project (3GPP) and provides inter-system mobility
+ policies and access-network-specific information to the mobile nodes
+ (MNs).

+1. Introduction
+
+ Access Network Discovery and Selection Function (ANDSF) is being
+ defined in 3GPP [3GPPTS23.402] to provide necessary network discovery
+ and selection assistance data to the mobile nodes for multi-access
+ network scenarios where 3GPP access-network level solutions are not
+ sufficient for the mobile nodes to perform network discovery and
+ selection of non-3GPP networks.
+
+ The information provided by ANDSF contains inter-system mobility
+ policies and access-network-specific data to assist the mobile node
+ with performing the inter-system handover. This set of information
+ can either be provisioned in the mobile node by the home operator or
+ provided to the mobile node (MN) dynamically by the ANDSF over the
+ S14 reference point as defined in [3GPPTS23.402] and [3GPPTS24.302].
+
+ In 3GPP, the ANDSF is located either in the subscriber's home
+ operator or visited network and needs to be known to the MN or
+ discovered by the MN. According to [3GPPTS23.402] and
+ [3GPPTS24.302], the ANDSF is discovered through interaction with the
+ Domain Name Service function or the DHCP server function.
+
+ This document defines new DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 options called the ANDSF
+ IP Address Options, which allow the MN to locate an ANDSF server.

+ user entity (UE) as per operator policy [3GPPTS23.402].
+
+ Access Network: A network that is accessed by the UE.
+
+ 3GPP Network: A radio access network specified by Third Generation
+ Partnership Project
+
+ Non-3GPP Network: A radio access network specified outside 3GPP by
+ other projects or standards organizations
+
+2. ANDSF IPv4 Address Option for DHCPv4
+
+ This section describes the ANDSF IPv4 Address Option for DHCPv4. The
+ option layout is depicted below:
+
+ 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
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | Option Code | Length |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | IP Address |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ . .
+ +---------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+ Option Code
+ OPTION-IPv4_Address-ANDSF (142)
+
+ Length
+ Length (in bytes) of the option excluding the 'Option Code' and
+ the 'Length' fields; 'Length' field is set to 4N, where N is the
+ number of IPv4 addresses carried in the option
+
+ IP Address
+ IPv4 address(es) of ANDSF server(s)
+
+ ANDSF servers MUST be listed in order of preference, and the client
+ SHOULD process them in decreasing order of preference.

+3. ANDSF IPv6 Address Option for DHCPv6
+
+ This section describes the ANDSF IPv6 Address Option for DHCPv6. All
+ values in the option are represented in network byte order. The
+ option layout is depicted below:
+
+ 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

+ | IP Address |
+ . .
+ +---------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+ Option Code
+ OPTION-IPv6_Address-ANDSF (143)
+
+ Length
+ Length (in bytes) of the option excluding the 'Option Code' and
+ the 'Length' fields; 'Length' field is set to 16N, where N is the
+ number of IPv6 addresses carried in the option
+
+ IP Address
+ IPv6 address(es) of ANDSF server(s)
+
+ ANDSF servers MUST be listed in order of preference, and the client
+ SHOULD process them in decreasing order of preference.
+
+4. Option Usage
+
+4.1. Usage of ANDSF Options for DHCPv4
+
+ The requesting and sending of the proposed DHCPv4 options follow the
+ rules for DHCP options in [RFC2131].
+
+4.1.1. Mobile Node Behavior
+
+ The mobile node MAY request the IP address of an ANDSF server either
+ during initial association with a network or when the policy and
+ access network information is required from ANDSF. It MAY also
+ request the IP address of an ANDSF server when the network
+ information is outdated or the mobile node does not have any ANDSF
+ information.
+
+ In order to request an address of a ANDSF server, the mobile node
+ (DHCP client) MUST include an ANDSF IPv4 Address Option in the
+ Parameter Request List (PRL) in the respective DHCP messages as
+
+
+
+
+Das & Bajko Standards Track [Page 4]
+
+RFC 6153 ANDSF DHCP Options February 2011
+
+
+ defined in [RFC2131] and [RFC2132]. The DHCP client MAY initiate a
+ new DHCP exchange or piggyback on other DHCP message exchanges. DHCP
+ client-handling PRL options are specified in [RFC2131], Section 4.4.
+
+4.2. Usage of ANDSF Options for DHCPv6
+
+ The requesting and sending of the proposed DHCPv6 options follow the
+ rules for DHCP options in [RFC3315].
+
+4.2.1. Mobile Node Behavior
+
+ The mobile node MAY request the IP address of an ANDSF server
+ according to the scenarios described in Section 4.1.1.
+
+ In order to discover the address of an ANDSF server, the mobile node
+ (DHCP client) MUST include an ANDSF IPv6 Address Option in the Option
+ Request Option (ORO) in the respective DHCP messages as defined in
+ [RFC3315]. The DHCP client MAY initiate a new DHCP exchange or
+ piggyback on other DHCP message exchanges. DHCP client-handling ORO
+ options are specified in [RFC3315], Sections 17.1 and 18.1.
+
+5. Security Considerations
+
+ If an adversary manages to modify the response from a DHCP server or
+ insert its own response, an MN could be led to contact a rogue ANDSF
+ server. A modified response could also be used to mount an
+ amplification attack.
+
+ The DHCP authentication option described in [RFC3118] and [RFC3315]
+ MAY be used to mitigate the above attacks. In deployments where DHCP
+ authentication is not available, 3GPP-specific lower-layer security
+ services can be used to protect DHCP messages [3GPPTS33.402]. The
+ 3GPP ANDSF framework also provides additional mechanisms that can be
+ used to mitigate the above attacks and to protect message exchanges
+ between an ANDSF client and server at the higher layer
+ [3GPPTS33.402].
+
+6. IANA Considerations
+
+ This document defines two new DHCP options as described in Sections 2
+ and 3:
+
+ ANDSF IPv4 Address Option for DHCPv4 (OPTION-IPv4_Address-ANDSF) 142
+
+ ANDSF IPv6 Address Option for DHCPv6 (OPTION-IPv6_Address-ANDSF) 143
