Introduction + + This work aims to document all usage of IPv4 addresses in currently + deployed IETF Routing Area documented standards. Also, throughout + this document there are discussions on how routing protocols might be + updated to support IPv6 addresses. + + This material was originally presented within a single document, but + in an effort to have the information in a manageable form, it has + subsequently been split into 7 documents conforming to the current + IETF main areas (Application [2], Internet [3], Operations & + Management [4], Routing [this document], Security [5], Sub-IP [6] and + Transport [7]). + + The general overview, methodology used during documentation and scope + of the investigation for the whole 7 documents can be found in the + introduction of this set of documents [1]. + + It is important to mention that to perform this study the following + classes of IETF standards are investigated: Full, Draft, and + Proposed, as well as Experimental. Informational, BCP and Historic + RFCs are not addressed. RFCs that have been obsoleted by either + newer versions or as they have transitioned through the standards + process are also not covered. + +2. Document Organization + + The main Sections of this document are described below. + + Sections 3, 4, 5, and 6 each describe the raw analysis of Full, + Draft, Proposed Standards and Experimental RFCs. Each RFC is + discussed in its turn starting with RFC 1 and ending (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. + + + + + + + + +Olvera & Nesser II Informational [Page 2] + +RFC 3791 IPv4 Addresses in the IETF Routing Area June 2004 + + +3. 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 1722 (STD 57) RIP Version 2 Protocol Applicability Statement + + RIPv2 is only intended for IPv4 networks. + +3.2. RFC 2328 (STD 54) OSPF Version 2 + + This RFC defines a protocol for IPv4 routing. It is highly + assumptive about address formats being IPv4 in nature. + +3.3. RFC 2453 (STD 56) RIP Version 2 + + RIPv2 is only intended for IPv4 networks. + +4. 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 1771 A Border Gateway Protocol 4 (BGP-4) + + This RFC defines a protocol used for exchange of IPv4 routing + information and does not support IPv6 as is defined. + +4.2. RFC 1772 Application of the Border Gateway Protocol in the + Internet + + This RFC is a discussion of the use of BGP-4 on the Internet. + +4.3. RFC 3392 Capabilities Advertisement with BGP-4 + + Although the protocol enhancements have no IPv4 dependencies, the + base protocol, BGP-4, is IPv4 only. + +5. 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 + + + +Olvera & Nesser II Informational [Page 3] + +RFC 3791 IPv4 Addresses in the IETF Routing Area June 2004 + + + 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. + +5.1. RFC 1195 Use of OSI IS-IS for routing in TCP/IP and dual + environments + + This document specifies a protocol for the exchange of IPv4 routing + information. + +5.2. RFC 1370 Applicability Statement for OSPF + + This document discusses a version of OSPF that is limited to IPv4. + +5.3. RFC 1397 Default Route Advertisement In BGP2 and BGP3 Version of + The Border Gateway Protocol + + BGP2 and BGP3 are both deprecated and therefore are not discussed in + this document. + +5.4. RFC 1478 An Architecture for Inter-Domain Policy Routing + + The architecture described in this document has no IPv4 dependencies. + +5.5. RFC 1479 Inter-Domain Policy Routing Protocol Specification: + Version 1 (IDPR) + + There are no IPv4 dependencies in this protocol. + +5.6. RFC 1517 Applicability Statement for the Implementation of + Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) + + This document deals exclusively with IPv4 addressing issue. + +5.7. RFC 1518 An Architecture for IP Address Allocation with CIDR + + This document deals exclusively with IPv4 addressing issue. + +5.8. RFC 1519 Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR): an Address + Assignment and Aggregation Strategy + + This document deals exclusively with IPv4 addressing issue. + +5.9. RFC 1582 Extensions to RIP to Support Demand Circuits + + This protocol is an extension to a protocol for exchanging IPv4 + routing information. + + + + +Olvera & Nesser II Informational [Page 4] + +RFC 3791 IPv4 Addresses in the IETF Routing Area June 2004 + + +5.10. RFC 1584 Multicast Extensions to OSPF + + This document defines the use of IPv4 multicast to an IPv4 only + routing protocol. + +5.11. RFC 1793 Extending OSPF to Support Demand Circuits + + There are no IPv4 dependencies in this protocol other than the fact + that it is a new functionality for a routing protocol that only + supports IPv4 networks. + +5.12. RFC 1997 BGP Communities Attribute + + Although the protocol enhancements have no IPv4 dependencies, the + base protocol, BGP-4, is IPv4 only. + +5.13. RFC 2080 RIPng for IPv6 + + This RFC documents a protocol for exchanging IPv6 routing information + and is not discussed in this document. + +5.14. RFC 2091 Triggered Extensions to RIP to Support Demand Circuits + + This RFC defines an enhancement for an IPv4 routing protocol and + while it has no IPv4 dependencies it is inherently limited to IPv4. + +5.15. RFC 2338 Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) + + This protocol is IPv4 specific, there are numerous references to 32- + bit IP addresses. + +5.16. RFC 2370 The OSPF Opaque LSA Option + + There are no IPv4 dependencies in this protocol other than the fact + that it is a new functionality for a routing protocol that only + supports IPv4 networks. + +5.17. RFC 2439 BGP Route Flap Damping + + The protocol enhancements have no IPv4 dependencies, even though the + base protocol, BGP-4, is IPv4 only routing protocol. + +5.18. RFC 2545 Use of BGP-4 Multiprotocol Extensions for IPv6 Inter- + Domain Routing + + This RFC documents IPv6 routing methods and is not discussed in this + document. + + + + +Olvera & Nesser II Informational [Page 5] + +RFC 3791 IPv4 Addresses in the IETF Routing Area June 2004 + + +5.19. RFC 2740 OSPF for IPv6 + + This document defines an IPv6 specific protocol and is not discussed + in this document. + +5.20. RFC 2784 Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) + + This protocol is only defined for IPv4. The document states in the + Appendix: + + o IPv6 as Delivery and/or Payload Protocol + + This specification describes the intersection of GRE currently + deployed by multiple vendors. IPv6 as delivery and/or payload + protocol is not included. + +5.21. RFC 2796 BGP Route Reflection - An Alternative to Full Mesh IBGP + + Although the protocol enhancements have no IPv4 dependencies, the + base protocol, BGP-4, is IPv4 only routing protocol. This + specification updates but does not obsolete RFC 1966. + +5.22. RFC 2858 Multiprotocol Extensions for BGP-4 + + In the Abstract: + + Currently BGP-4 is capable of carrying routing information only for + IPv4. This document defines extensions to BGP-4 to enable it to + carry routing information for multiple Network Layer protocols (e.g., + IPv6, IPX, etc...). The extensions are backward compatible - a + router that supports the extensions can interoperate with a router + that doesn't support the extensions. + + The document is therefore not examined further in this document. + +5.23. RFC 2890 Key and Sequence Number Extensions to GRE + + There are no IPv4 dependencies in this protocol. + +5.24. RFC 2894 Router Renumbering for IPv6 + + The RFC defines an IPv6 only document and is not concerned in this + survey. + +5.25. RFC 2918 Route Refresh Capability for BGP-4 + + Although the protocol enhancements have no IPv4 dependencies, the + base protocol, BGP-4, is IPv4 only routing protocol. + + + +Olvera & Nesser II Informational [Page 6] + +RFC 3791 IPv4 Addresses in the IETF Routing Area June 2004 + + +5.26. RFC 3065 Autonomous System Confederations for BGP + + Although the protocol enhancements have no IPv4 dependencies, the + base protocol, BGP-4, is IPv4 only routing protocol. + +5.27. RFC 3101 The OSPF Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA) Option + + This document defines an extension to an IPv4 routing protocol. + +5.28. RFC 3107 Carrying Label Information in BGP-4 + + There are no IPv4 dependencies in this protocol. + +5.29. RFC 3122 Extensions to IPv6 Neighbor Discovery for Inverse + Discovery Specification + + This is an IPv6 related document and is not discussed in this + document. + +6. Experimental RFCs + + Experimental RFCs typically define protocols that do not have wide + scale 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 1075 Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) + + This document defines a protocol for IPv4 multicast routing. + +6.2. RFC 1383 An Experiment in DNS Based IP Routing + + This proposal is IPv4 limited: + + This record is designed for easy general purpose extensions in the + DNS, and its content is a text string. The RX record will contain + three fields: A record identifier, A cost indicator, and An IP + address. + + + + + + + + + + +Olvera & Nesser II Informational [Page 7] + +RFC 3791 IPv4 Addresses in the IETF Routing Area June 2004 + + + The three strings will be separated by a single comma. An example of + record would thus be: + + ___________________________________________________________________ + | domain | type | record | value | + | - | | | | + |*.27.32.192.in-addr.arpa | IP | TXT | RX, 10, 10.0.0.7| + |_________________________|________|__________|___________________| + + which means that for all hosts whose IP address starts by the three + octets "192.32.27" the IP host "10.0.0.7" can be used as a gateway, + and that the preference value is 10. + +6.3. RFC 1476 RAP: Internet Route Access Protocol + + This document defines an IPv7 routing protocol and has been abandoned + by the IETF as a feasible design. It is not considered in this + document. + +6.4. RFC 1765 OSPF Database Overflow + + There are no IPv4 dependencies in this protocol other than the fact + that it is a new functionality for a routing protocol that only + supports IPv4 networks. + +6.5. RFC 1863 A BGP/IDRP Route Server alternative to a full mesh + routing + + This protocol is both IPv4 and IPv6 aware and needs no changes. + +6.6. RFC 1966 BGP Route Reflection An alternative to full mesh IBGP + + Although the protocol enhancements have no IPv4 dependencies, the + base protocol, BGP-4, is IPv4 only routing protocol. This + specification has been updated by RFC 2796. + +6.7. RFC 2189 Core Based Trees (CBT version 2) Multicast Routing + + The document specifies a protocol that depends on IPv4 multicast. + There are many packet formats defined that show IPv4 usage. + +6.8. RFC 2201 Core Based Trees (CBT) Multicast Routing Architecture + + See previous Section for the IPv4 limitation in this protocol. + + + + + + + +Olvera & Nesser II Informational [Page 8] + +RFC 3791 IPv4 Addresses in the IETF Routing Area June 2004 + + +6.9. RFC 2337 Intra-LIS IP multicast among routers over ATM using + Sparse Mode PIM + + This protocol is designed for IPv4 multicast. + +6.10. RFC 2362 Protocol Independent Multicast-Sparse Mode (PIM-SM): + Protocol Specification + + This protocol is both IPv4 and IPv6 aware and needs no changes. + +6.11. RFC 2676 QoS Routing Mechanisms and OSPF Extensions + + There are IPv4 dependencies in this protocol. It requires the use of + the IPv4 TOS header field. + +7. Summary of Results + + In the initial survey of RFCs, 23 positives were identified out of a + total of 46, broken down as follows: + + Standards: 3 out of 3 or 100.00% + Draft Standards: 1 out of 3 or 33.33% + Proposed Standards: 13 out of 29 or 44.83% + Experimental RFCs: 6 out of 11 or 54.54% + + Of those identified many require no action because they document + outdated and unused protocols, while others are document protocols + that are actively being updated by the appropriate working groups. + Additionally there are many instances of standards that should be + updated but do not cause any operational impact if they are not + updated. The remaining instances are documented below. The authors + have attempted to organize the results in a format that allows easy + reference to other protocol designers. The assignment of statements + has been based entirely on the authors perceived needs for updates + and should not be taken as an official statement. + +7.1. Standards + +7.1.1. STD 57 RIP Version 2 Protocol Applicability Statement (RFC 1722) + + This problem has been fixed by RFC 2081, RIPng Protocol Applicability + Statement. + + + + + + + + + +Olvera & Nesser II Informational [Page 9] + +RFC 3791 IPv4 Addresses in the IETF Routing Area June 2004 + + +7.1.2.

Border Gateway Protocol 4 (RFC 1771) + + This problem has been fixed in RFC 2858 Multiprotocol Extensions for + BGP-4, RFC 2545 Use of BGP-4 Multiprotocol Extensions for IPv6 + Inter-Domain Routing, and in [8]. + + RFC 2858 extends BGP to support multi-protocol extensions that allows + routing information for other address families to be exchanged. RFC + 2545 further extends RFC 2858 for full support of exchanging IPv6 + routing information and additionally clarifies support of the + extended BGP-4 protocol using TCP+IPv6 as a transport mechanism. RFC + 1771, 2858 & 2545 must be supported in order to provide full IPv6 + support. + + Note also that all the BGP extensions analyzed previously in this + memo function without changes with the updated version of BGP-4. + +7.3. Proposed Standards + +7.3.1. Use of OSI IS-IS for routing in TCP/IP and dual environments + (RFC 1195) + + This problem is being addressed by the IS-IS WG [9]. + +7.3.2. Applicability Statement for OSPFv2 (RFC 1370) + + This problem has been resolved in RFC 2740, OSPF for IPv6. + +7.3.3. Applicability of CIDR (RFC 1517) + + The contents of this specification has been treated in various IPv6 + addressing architecture RFCs, see RFC 3513 & 3587. + +7.3.4. CIDR Architecture (RFC 1518) + + The contents of this specification has been treated in various IPv6 + addressing architecture RFCs, see RFC 3513 & 3587. + + + + +Olvera & Nesser II Informational [Page 10] + +RFC 3791 IPv4 Addresses in the IETF Routing Area June 2004 + + +7.3.5.

RIP Extensions for Demand Circuits (RFC 1582) + + This problem has been addressed in RFC 2080, RIPng for IPv6. + +7.3.7. OSPF Multicast Extensions (RFC 1584) + + This functionality has been covered in RFC 2740, OSPF for IPv6. + +7.3.8. OSPF For Demand Circuits (RFC 1793) + + This functionality has been covered in RFC 2740, OSPF for IPv6. + +7.3.9. RIP Triggered Extensions for Demand Circuits (RFC 2091) + + This functionality is provided in RFC 2080, RIPng for IPv6. + +7.3.10. Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)(RFC 2338) + + The problems identified are being addressed by the VRRP WG [10]. + +7.3.11. OSPF Opaque LSA Option (RFC 2370) + + This problem has been fixed by RFC 2740, OSPF for IPv6. Opaque + options support is an inbuilt functionality in OSPFv3. + +7.3.12. Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE)(RFC 2784) + + Even though GRE tunneling over IPv6 has been implemented and used, + its use has not been formally specified. Clarifications are + required. + +7.3.13. OSPF NSSA Option (RFC 3101) + + This functionality has been covered in RFC 2740, OSPF for IPv6. + +7.4. Experimental RFCs + +7.4.1. Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (RFC 1075) + + This protocol is a routing protocol for IPv4 multicast routing. It + is no longer in use and need not be redefined. + + + + +Olvera & Nesser II Informational [Page 11] + +RFC 3791 IPv4 Addresses in the IETF Routing Area June 2004 + + +7.4.2. An Experiment in DNS Based IP Routing (RFC 1383) + + This protocol relies on IPv4 DNS RR, but is no longer relevant has + never seen much use; no action is necessary. + +7.4.3. Core Based Trees (CBT version 2) Multicast Routing (RFC 2189) + + This protocol relies on IPv4 IGMP Multicast and a new protocol + standard may be produced. However, the multicast routing protocol + has never been in much use and is no longer relevant; no action is + necessary. + +7.4.4. Core Based Trees (CBT) Multicast Routing Architecture (RFC 2201) + + See previous Section for the limitation in this protocol. + +7.4.5. Intra-LIS IP multicast among routers over ATM using Sparse + Mode PIM (RFC 2337) + + This protocol is designed for IPv4 multicast. However, Intra-LIS IP + multicast among routers over ATM is not believed to be relevant + anymore. A new mechanism may be defined for IPv6 multicast. + +7.4.6. QoS Routing Mechanisms and OSPF Extensions (RFC 2676) + + QoS extensions for OSPF were never used for OSPFv2, and there seems + to be little need for them in OSPFv3. + + However, if necessary, an update to this document could simply define + the use of the IPv6 Traffic Class field since it is defined to be + exactly the same as the IPv4 TOS field. + +8. Security Considerations + + This document examines the IPv6-readiness of routing specification; + this does not have security considerations in itself. + +9.
