Introduction + + The MANET Neighborhood Discovery Protocol (NHDP) [RFC6130] and the + Optimized Link State Routing Protocol version 2 (OLSRv2) [RFC7181] + are protocols for use in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) [RFC2501], + based on the Generalized MANET Packet/Message Format [RFC5444]. + + This document updates [RFC6130] and [RFC7181], specifically their use + of TLV (Type-Length-Value) elements, to increase the extensibility of + these protocols and to enable some improvements in their + implementation. + + This specification reduces the latitude of implementations of + [RFC6130] and [RFC7181] to consider some messages, which will not be + created by implementations simply following those specifications, as + a reason to consider the message as "badly formed", and thus as a + reason to reject the message. This gives greater latitude to the + creation of extensions of these protocols, in particular extensions + that will interoperate with unextended implementations of those + protocols. As part of that, it indicates how TLVs with unexpected + value fields must be handled, and adds some additional options to + those TLVs. + + Note that TLVs with unknown type or type extension are already + specified as to be ignored by [RFC6130] and [RFC7181] and also are + not a reason to reject a message. + +2. Terminology + + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", + "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and + "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in + [RFC2119]. + + Additionally, this document uses the terminology of [RFC5444], + [RFC6130], and [RFC7181]. + +3. Applicability Statement + + This document updates the specification of the protocols described in + [RFC6130] and [RFC7181]. + + Specifically, this specification updates [RFC6130] and [RFC7181] in + the following ways: + + o Removes the latitude of rejecting a message with a TLV with a + known type, but with an unexpected TLV Value field, for the TLV + Types defined in [RFC6130] and [RFC7181]. + + + +Dearlove & Clausen Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 7188 NHDP and OLSRv2 Extension TLVs April 2014 + + + o Specifies the handling of a TLV Value field with unexpected + length. + + o Sets up IANA registries for TLV Values for the Address Block TLVs: + + * LOCAL_IF, defined in [RFC6130]. + + * LINK_STATUS, defined in [RFC6130]. + + * OTHER_NEIGHB, defined in [RFC6130]. + + * MPR, defined in [RFC7181], now considered as a bit field. + + * NBR_ADDR_TYPE, defined in [RFC7181], now considered as a bit + field. + + o Defines a well-known TLV Value for "UNSPECIFIED" for the Address + Block TLV Types LOCAL_IF, LINK_STATUS, and OTHER_NEIGHB, all + defined in [RFC6130]. + +4. TLV Values + + NHDP [RFC6130] and OLSRv2 [RFC7181] define a number of TLVs within + the framework of [RFC5444]. These TLVs define the meaning of only + some of the contents that can be found in a TLV Value field. This + limitation may be either defining only certain TLV Values or + considering only some lengths of the TLV Value fields (or a single- + value field in a multivalue Address-Block TLV). This specification + describes how NHDP [RFC6130] and OLSRv2 [RFC7181] are to handle TLVs + with other TLV Value fields. + +4.1. Unrecognized TLV Values + + NHDP and OLSRv2 specify that, in addition to well-defined reasons (in + the respective protocol specifications), an implementation of these + protocols MAY recognize a message as "badly formed" and therefore + "invalid for processing" for other reasons (Section 12.1 of [RFC6130] + and Section 16.3.1 of [RFC7181]). These sections could be + interpreted as allowing rejection of a message because a TLV Value + field is unrecognized. This specification removes that latitude: + + o An implementation MUST NOT reject a message because it contains an + unrecognized TLV value. Instead, any unrecognized TLV Value field + MUST be processed or ignored by an unextended implementation of + NHDP or OLSRv2, as described in the following sections. + + o Hence, this specification removes the 7th, 10th, and 11th bullets + in Section 12.1 of [RFC6130]. + + + +Dearlove & Clausen Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 7188 NHDP and OLSRv2 Extension TLVs April 2014 + + + It should be stressed that this is not a change to [RFC6130] or + [RFC7181], except with regard to not allowing this to be a reason for + rejection of a message. [RFC6130] or [RFC7181] are specified in + terms such as "if an address is associated with a value of LOST by a + LINK_STATUS TLV". Association with an unrecognized value has no + effect on any implementation strictly following such a specification. + +4.2. TLV Value Lengths + + The TLVs specified in [RFC6130] and [RFC7181] may be either single- + value or multivalue TLVs. In either case, the length of each item of + information encoded in the TLV Value field is the "single-length", + defined and calculated as in Section 5.4.1 of [RFC5444]. All TLVs + specified in [RFC6130] and [RFC7181] have a one- or two-octet single- + length. These are considered the expected single-lengths of such a + received TLV. + + Other single-length TLV Value fields may be introduced by extensions + to [RFC6130] and [RFC7181]. This document specifies how + implementations of [RFC6130] and [RFC7181], or extensions thereof, + MUST behave on receiving TLVs of the TLV types defined in [RFC6130] + and [RFC7181], but with TLV Value fields with other single-length + values. + + The following principles apply: + + o If the received single-length is greater than the expected single- + length, then the excess octets MUST be ignored. + + o If the received single-length is less than the expected single- + length, then the absent octets MUST be considered to have all bits + cleared (0). + + Exception: + + o A received CONT_SEQ_NUM with a single-length < 2 SHOULD be + considered an error. + +4.3. Undefined TLV Values + + [RFC6130] and [RFC7181] define a number of TLVs, but for some of + these TLVs they specify meanings for only some TLV Values. This + document establishes IANA registries for these TLV Values, with + initial registrations reflecting those used by [RFC6130] and + [RFC7181], and as specified in Section 4.3.3. + + There are different cases of TLV Values with different + characteristics. These cases are considered in this section. + + + +Dearlove & Clausen Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 7188 NHDP and OLSRv2 Extension TLVs April 2014 + + +4.3.1. NHDP TLVs: LOCAL_IF, LINK_STATUS, and OTHER_NEIGHB + + For the Address-Block TLVs LOCAL_IF, LINK_STATUS, and OTHER_NEIGHB + TLVs, defined in [RFC6130], only a limited number of values are + specified for each. These are converted, by this specification, into + extensible registries with initial registrations for values defined + and used by [RFC6130] -- see Section 5. + + An implementation of [RFC6130] that receives a LOCAL_IF, LINK_STATUS, + or OTHER_NEIGHB TLV with any TLV Value other than the values that are + defined in [RFC6130] MUST ignore that TLV Value, as well as any + corresponding attribute association to the address. + +4.3.2. OLSRv2 TLVs: MPR and NBR_ADDR_TYPE + + The Address-Block TLVs MPR and NBR_ADDR_TYPE, defined in [RFC7181], + are similar to those defined in [RFC6130] in having only limited + values specified (1, 2, and 3): 1 and 2 represent the presence of two + different attributes associated to an address, and 3 represents "both + 1 and 2". + + These TLV Value fields are, by this specification, converted to bit + fields and MUST be interpreted as such. As the existing definitions + of values 1, 2, and 3 behave in that manner, it is likely that this + will involve no change to an implementation, but any test of (for + example) Value = 1 or Value = 3 MUST be converted to a test of (for + example) Value bitand 1 = 1, where "bitand" denotes a bitwise AND + operation. + + This specification creates registries for recording reservations of + the individual bits in these bit fields, with initial registrations + for values defined and used by [RFC7181] -- see Section 5. + + Other TLVs defined by [RFC7181] are not affected by this + specification. + +4.3.3. Unspecified TLV Values + + The registries defined in Section 5 for the LOCAL_IF, LINK_STATUS, + and OTHER_NEIGHB TLVs each include an additional TLV Value + UNSPECIFIED. This TLV Value represents a defined value that, like + currently undefined TLV Values, indicates that no information is + associated with this address; the defined value will always have this + meaning. Such a TLV Value may be used to enable the creation of more + efficient multivalue Address Block TLVs or to simplify an + implementation. + + + + + +Dearlove & Clausen Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 7188 NHDP and OLSRv2 Extension TLVs April 2014 + + + The similar requirement for the MPR and NBR_ADDR_TYPES TLVs is + already satisfied by the TLV Value zero, provided that each bit in + the TLV Value is defined as set ('1') when indicating the presence of + an attribute, or clear ('0') when indicating the absence of an + attribute. Therefore, this is required for registrations from the + relevant registries; see Section 5. + + For the LINK_METRIC TLV, this is already possible by clearing the + most significant bits (0 to 3) of the first octet of the TLV Value. + It is RECOMMENDED that in this case the remaining bits of the TLV + Value are either all clear ('0') or all set ('1'). + +5.

Security Considerations + + The updates made to [RFC6130] and [RFC7181] have the following + implications on the security considerations: + + o Created IANA registries for retaining TLV values for TLVs, already + defined in the already published specifications of the two + protocols, and with initial registrations for the TLV values + defined by these specifications. This does not give rise to any + additional security considerations. + + o Enabled protocol extensions for registering TLV values in the + created IANA registries. Such extensions MUST specify appropriate + security considerations. + + o Created, in some registries, a registration for "UNSPECIFIED" + values for more efficient use of multivalue Address Block TLVs. + The interpretation of an address being associated with a TLV of a + given type and with the value "UNSPECIFIED" is identical to that + address not being associated with a TLV of that type. Thus, this + update does not give rise to any additional security + considerations. + + o Reduced the latitude of implementations of the two protocols to + reject a message as "badly formed" due to the value field of a TLV + being unexpected. These protocols are specified in terms such as + "if an address is associated with a value of LOST by a LINK_STATUS + TLV". Association with an unknown value (or a value newly defined + to mean no link status information) has no effect on such a + specification. Thus, this update does not give rise to any + additional security considerations. + + + + + + +Dearlove & Clausen Standards Track [Page 14] + +RFC 7188 NHDP and OLSRv2 Extension TLVs April 2014 + + + o Did not introduce any opportunities for attacks on the protocols + through signal modification that are not already present in the + two protocols. + +7.
