+1. Introduction
+
+ Multiple Access Protocol over SONET/SDH (MAPOS) [1][2] is a high-
+ speed link-layer protocol that provides multiple access capability
+ over SONET/SDH. Its frame format is based on the HDLC-like (High
+ Level Data Link Control) framing [3] for PPP. A component called a
+ "Frame Switch" [1] allows multiple nodes (hosts and routers) to be
+ connected together in a star topology to form a LAN. Using long-haul
+ SONET/SDH links, the nodes on such a "SONET-LAN" can span a wide
+ geographical area.
+
+ This document specifies the frame format for encapsulating an
+ Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) [4] datagram in a MAPOS frame, the
+ method of forming IPv6 interface identifiers, the method of detecting
+ duplicate addresses, and the format of the Source/Target Link-layer
+ Addresses option field used in Neighbor Discovery messages such as
+ Router Solicitation, Router Advertisement, Neighbor Solicitation,
+ Neighbor Advertisement, and Redirect messages.
+
+ In the remainder of this document, the term "MAPOS" is used unless
+ the distinction between MAPOS version 1 [1] and MAPOS 16 [2] is
+ required.

+
+2. Frame Format for Encapsulating IPv6 Datagrams
+
+2.1. Frame Format
+
+ MAPOS uses the same HDLC-like framing as PPP-over-SONET, described in
+ [3]. The MAPOS frame begins and ends with a flag sequence 01111110
+ (0x7E), and the MAPOS frame header contains address, control, and
+ protocol fields. The address field contains a destination HDLC
+ address. In MAPOS 16, the address field is extended to 16 bits, and
+ the control field of MAPOS version 1 is omitted. The frame check
+ sequence (FCS) field is 16 bits long by default, but a 32-bit FCS may
+ be used optionally. Details of the MAPOS frame format are described
+ in [1][2].
+
+ An IPv6 datagram is encapsulated in the MAPOS frame. In the case of
+ encapsulating an IPv6 datagram, the protocol field must contain the
+ value 0x0057 (hexadecimal). The IPv6 datagram is stored in the
+ information field which follows immediately after the protocol field.
+ That is, this field contains the IPv6 header followed immediately by
+ the payload. Figure 1 shows the frame format. The fields are
+ transmitted from left to right.
+
+ +----------+----------+----------+----------+
+ | | | Control/ | Protocol |
+ | Flag | Address | Address | 16 bits |
+ | 01111110 | 8 bits | 8 bits | (0x0057) |
+ +----------+----------+----------+----------+
+ +-------------+------------+----------+-----------
+ | | | | Inter-frame
+ | IPv6 header | FCS | Flag | fill or next
+ | and payload | 16/32 bits | 01111110 | address
+ +-------------+------------+----------+------------
+
+ Figure 1. Frame format.
+
+2.2. Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
+
+ The length of the information field of the MAPOS frame may vary, but
+ shall not exceed 65,280 (64K - 256) octets [1][2]. The default
+ maximum transmission unit (MTU) is 65,280 octets.
+
+ However, the MTU size may be reduced by a Router Advertisement [5]
+ containing an MTU option that specifies a smaller MTU, or by manual
+ configuration of each node. If a Router Advertisement received on a
+ MAPOS interface has an MTU option specifying an MTU larger than
+ 65,280, or larger than a manually configured value, that MTU option
+ may be logged for the system management but must be otherwise
+ ignored.

+
+
+2.3. Destination Address Mapping
+
+ This section specifies the method of mapping an IPv6 destination
+ address to the address field in the MAPOS frame header.
+
+2.3.1. Unicast
+
+ In unicasting, the address field of a MAPOS frame contains the HDLC
+ address that has been assigned via NSP (Node Switch Protocol) [6] to
+ the MAPOS interface, which has the IPv6 unicast destination address.
+
+ In order to determine the destination HDLC address that corresponds
+ to an IPv6 unicast destination address, the sender uses Link-layer
+ Address Resolution described in [5].
+
+2.3.2. Multicast
+
+ Address resolution is never performed on IPv6 multicast addresses.
+ An IPv6 multicast destination address is mapped to the address field
+ in the MAPOS frame header as described below for MAPOS version 1 and
+ MAPOS 16.
+
+ MAPOS version 1:
+
+ The address field of the MAPOS version 1 frame header contains an 8-
+ bit-wide destination HDLC address [1]. The least significant bit
+ (LSB) of the field must always be 1 to indicate the end of the field.
+ The most significant bit (MSB) is used to indicate whether the frame
+ is a unicast or a multicast frame.
+
+ In the case of an IPv6 multicast, the MSB of the address field is 1
+ to indicate that the frame is multicast. As described above, the LSB
+ of the address field is 1. The other six bits of the address field
+ must contain the lowest-order six bits of the IPv6 multicast address.
+ Figure 2 shows the address field of the MAPOS version 1 frame header
+ in the case of an IPv6 multicast, where D(1) through D(6) represent
+ the lowest-order six bits of the IPv6 multicast address. Exceptions
+ arise when these six bits are either all zeros or all ones. In these
+ cases, they should be altered to the bit sequence 111110. That is,
+ the address field should be 0xFD (hexadecimal).

+
+ MAPOS 16:
+
+ The address field of the MAPOS 16 frame header contains the 16-bit-
+ wide destination HDLC address [2]. The LSB of the first octet must
+ always be 0 to indicate the continuation of this field, and the LSB
+ of the second octet must always be 1 to indicate the end of this
+ field. The MSB of the first octet is used to indicate whether the
+ frame is a unicast or a multicast frame.
+
+ In the case of an IPv6 multicast, the MSB of the first octet is 1 to
+ indicate that the frame is multicast. As described above, the LSB of
+ the first octet is 0 and the LSB of the second octet is 1. The other
+ 13 bits of the address field must contain the lowest-order 13 bits of
+ the IPv6 multicast address. Figure 3 shows the address field of the
+ MAPOS 16 frame header in the case of an IPv6 multicast, where D(1)
+ through D(13) represent the lowest-order 13 bits of the IPv6
+ multicast address. Exceptions arise when these 13 bits are either
+ all zeros or all ones. In these cases, the address field should be
+ 0xFEFD (hexadecimal).

+
+
+3. Interface Identifier
+
+ This section specifies the method of forming the interface identifier
+ [7].
+
+ A node that has one or more MAPOS interfaces must create one or more
+ EUI-64 [8] based interface identifiers. Here, it should be noted
+ that deriving interface identifiers from HDLC addresses of MAPOS
+ interfaces is undesirable for the following reasons.
+
+ 1. When a node is connected to a frame switch, an HDLC address is
+ assigned to the interface of the node from the frame switch via
+ NSP [6]. (In the remainder of this document, the term "MAPOS
+ address" is used to refer to the address.) The value of the MAPOS
+ address assigned to the interface depends on the combination of
+ the switch number of the frame switch and the port number of the
+ frame switch to which the interface is connected. The switch
+ number is required to be unique only within a MAPOS multi-switch
+ environment [6]; that is, there can be frame switches that have
+ the same switch number in different MAPOS multi-switch environment
+ separated by IP routers. Therefore, the uniqueness of a MAPOS
+ address is guaranteed only within a MAPOS multi-switch
+ environment.
+
+ Furthermore, if an implementation ensures that the link between
+ the interface of the node and the port of the frame switch is
+ hot-swappable, the port number of the frame switch or the frame
+ switch connected to the interface of the node can be changed, so
+ the MAPOS address assigned to the interface can also be changed
+ without performing a system re-start of the node.
+
+ In short, the global uniqueness of a MAPOS address is not
+ guaranteed, and a MAPOS address is not a built-in address but can
+ be changed without performing a system re-start. Thus, if an
+ interface identifier were derived from a MAPOS address, it could
+ also be changed without a system re-start. This would not follow
+ the recommendation in [7].
+
+ 2. In the case of a point-to-point connection between two nodes, the
+ same MAPOS address is assigned to each interface. Specifically,
+ in the case of MAPOS version 1, the assigned address is 0x03 [6],
+ and in the case of MAPOS 16, the assigned address is 0x0003 [2].
+ It is not easy to achieve link-locality of the interface
+ identifier in a strict manner using the same Link-layer address.
+
+ For the above reasons, nodes with MAPOS interfaces must not derive
+ their interface identifiers from their MAPOS addresses.
+
+
+
+
+Ogura, et. al. Informational [Page 6]
+
+RFC 3572 IPv6 over MAPOS July 2003
+
+
+ The following are methods of forming an interface identifier in
+ the order of preference. These are almost the same as the methods
+ described in [9] except that a MAPOS address must not be used as a
+ source of uniqueness when an IEEE global identifier is
+ unavailable.
+
+ 1) If an IEEE global identifier (EUI-48 or EUI-64) is available
+ anywhere on the node, it should be used to construct the interface
+ identifier due to its uniqueness. When extracting an IEEE global
+ identifier from another device on the node, care should be taken
+ to ensure that the extracted identifier is presented in canonical
+ ordering [10].
+
+ The only transformation from an EUI-64 identifier is to invert the
+ "u" bit (universal/local bit in IEEE EUI-64 terminology). For
+ example, for a globally unique EUI-64 identifier as shown in
+ Figure 4:
+
+ MSB LSB
+ |0 1|1 3|3 4|4 6|
+ |0 5|6 1|2 7|8 3|
+ +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
+ |cccccc0gcccccccc|cccccccceeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|
+ +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
+
+ Figure 4. Globally unique EUI-64 identifier.
+
+ where "c" are the bits of the assigned company_id, "0" is the
+ value of the universal/local bit to indicate global scope, "g" is
+ the group/individual bit, and "e" are the bits of the extension
+ identifier, the IPv6 interface identifier would be as shown in
+ Figure 5. The only change is inverting the value of the
+ universal/local bit.
+
+ MSB LSB
+ |0 1|1 3|3 4|4 6|
+ |0 5|6 1|2 7|8 3|
+ +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
+ |cccccc1gcccccccc|cccccccceeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|
+ +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
+
+ Figure 5. IPv6 interface identifier derived from a globally unique
+ EUI-64 identifier.
+
+ In the case of an EUI-48 identifier, it is first converted to the
+ EUI-64 format by inserting two octets, with hexadecimal values of
+ 0xFF and 0xFE, in the middle of the 48-bit MAC (between the
+ company_id and extension-identifier portions of the EUI-48 value).
+
+
+
+Ogura, et. al. Informational [Page 7]
+
+RFC 3572 IPv6 over MAPOS July 2003
+
+
+ For example, for a globally unique 48-bit EUI-48 identifier as
+ shown in Figure 6:
+
+ MSB LSB
+ |0 1|1 3|3 4|
+ |0 5|6 1|2 7|
+ +----------------+----------------+----------------+
+ |cccccc0gcccccccc|cccccccceeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|
+ +----------------+----------------+----------------+
+
+ Figure 6. Globally unique EUI-48 identifier.
+
+ where "c" are the bits of the assigned company_id, "0" is the
+ value of the universal/local bit to indicate global scope, "g" is
+ the group/individual bit, and "e" are the bits of the extension
+ identifier, the IPv6 interface identifier would be as shown in
+ Figure 7.
+
+ MSB LSB
+ |0 1|1 3|3 4|4 6|
+ |0 5|6 1|2 7|8 3|
+ +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
+ |cccccc1gcccccccc|cccccccc11111111|11111110eeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|
+ +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
+
+ Figure 7. IPv6 interface identifier derived from a globally unique
+ EUI-48 identifier.
+
+ 2) If an IEEE global identifier is not available, a different source
+ of uniqueness should be used. Suggested sources of uniqueness
+ include machine serial numbers, etc. MAPOS addresses must not be
+ used.
+
+ In this case, the "u" bit of the interface identifier must be set
+ to 0.
+
+ 3) If a good source of uniqueness cannot be found, it is recommended
+ that a random number be generated. In this case the "u" bit of
+ the interface identifier must be set to 0.
+
+4. Duplicate Address Detection
+
+ Immediately after the system start-up, the MAPOS address has not yet
+ been assigned to a MAPOS interface. The assignment is not completed
+ until the adjacent frame switch, or adjacent node in the case of a
+ point-to-point connection between two nodes, has delivered the MAPOS
+ address to the interface via NSP [6]. Until then, no data
+ transmission can be performed on the interface. Thus, a node must
+
+
+
+Ogura, et. al. Informational [Page 8]
+
+RFC 3572 IPv6 over MAPOS July 2003
+
+
+ conduct duplicate address detection [11] on all unicast addresses of
+ MAPOS interfaces after the MAPOS address assignment has been
+ completed by NSP.
+
+5. Source/Target Link-layer Address Option
+
+ As specified in [5], the Source/Target Link-layer Address option is
+ one of the options included in Neighbor Discovery messages. In [5],
+ the length of the Source/Target Link-layer Address option field is
+ specified in units of 8 octets. However, in the case of MAPOS, the
+ length of the address field is 2 octets (MAPOS 16) or 1 octet (MAPOS
+ version 1)[1][2]. Thus, if the exact form of the address field is
+ embedded in the Link-layer Address field of the Source/Target Link-
+ layer Address option field, the total length of the option field is 4
+ octets (MAPOS 16) or 3 octets (MAPOS version 1), both of which are
+ shorter than 8 octets.
+
+ For the above reason, in the case of MAPOS, the Link-layer Address
+ field of the Source/Target Link-layer Address option must be extended
+ with zeros in order to extend the length of the option field to 8
+ octets, and the Length field must be set to 1 as shown below.
+
+ MAPOS version 1:

+
+6. Security Considerations
+
+ In MAPOS, a link-layer address (MAPOS address) is assigned to a
+ network interface by a frame switch via NSP; unlike other link-layer
+ protocols such as Ethernet that use a built-in address on a network
+ interface. Security considerations derived from this are described
+ in 6.1 and 6.2. Because there is no link-layer security in MAPOS,
+ the same security considerations as those of other link-layer
+ protocols would be applied to other points.
+
+6.1. Issues concerning Link-layer Addresses
+
+6.1.1. Protection against fraudulent reception of traffic
+
+ In MAPOS, a MAPOS address is assigned by a frame switch, and it
+ consists of the switch number and the port number of the switch to
+ which the network interface is connected. (In the case of a point-
+ to-point connection between two nodes, a fixed address is assigned to
+ their network interfaces.) This brings the following advantages.
+
+ 1. The value of the MAPOS address of a MAPOS network interface
+ indicates the location of the interface in the MAPOS network. In
+ other words, the value itself of the destination address of a
+ MAPOS frame defines the actual location of the network interface
+ to which the frame should be finally delivered. Therefore, as
+ long as MAPOS addresses of network interfaces of nodes that have
+
+
+
+Ogura, et. al. Informational [Page 10]
+
+RFC 3572 IPv6 over MAPOS July 2003
+
+
+ been connected to the network through proper administrative
+ process are held and frames are delivered only to those addresses,
+ other nodes cannot receive frames unless their network interfaces
+ are connected to the same ports of frame switches as those to
+ which network interfaces of properly administered nodes are
+ connected. This makes fraudulent reception of traffic difficult.
+
+ 2. In the case where MAPOS addresses are not administered as
+ mentioned above, it is possible that a malicious node could hijack
+ traffic by spoofing its IPv6 address in a response to an IPv6
+ Neighbor Discovery. Even in this case, the node must advertise
+ the true MAPOS address of its network interface in the response so
+ that it can receive successive frames. This makes it easy to
+ pinpoint the location of the host.
+
+6.1.2. Protection against improper traffic
+
+ A MAPOS frame does not have a field for including its sender's
+ address. Therefore, in the case where a node sends one-way improper
+ traffic maliciously or accidentally, there is no way to obtain the
+ sender's MAPOS address from the traffic and this leads to difficulty
+ in identifying the node (because source IP addresses might be
+ forged).
+
+ An effective way to alleviate the difficulty is to moderate the size
+ of MAPOS multi-switch environment [6]. A common approach is to
+ separate it using IP routers. This makes it easy to identify the
+ node sending improper traffic within the multi-switch environment.
+ To secure the environment against improper traffic from outside it,
+ boundary IP routers need to block it using packet filtering based on
+ IP layer information.
+
+6.2. Uniqueness of Interface Identifiers
+
+ Global uniqueness of a MAPOS address is not guaranteed, and a MAPOS
+ address is not a built-in address but can be changed without
+ performing a system re-start if an implementation ensures that the
+ link between the network interface of the node and the port of the
+ frame switch is hot-swappable. Thus, an interface identifier must
+ not be derived from a MAPOS address in order to ensure that the
+ interface identifier is not changed without a system re-start.
+
+ As a consequence, in IP Version 6 over MAPOS, the existence of
+ network interfaces other than MAPOS that have IEEE global identifier
+ based addresses has great importance in creating interface
+ identifiers. However, it may be common for there to be no such
+ interfaces on a node, so a different source of uniqueness must be
+ used. Therefore, sufficient care should be taken to prevent
+
+
+
+Ogura, et. al. Informational [Page 11]
+
+RFC 3572 IPv6 over MAPOS July 2003
+
+
+ duplication of interface identifiers. At present, there is no
+ protection against duplication through accident or forgery.
