+ Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) Multipath Options
+
+Abstract
+
+ This specification defines extensions to the Proxy Mobile IPv6
+ (PMIPv6) protocol that allow a mobile access gateway (MAG) to
+ register more than one proxy care-of address (pCoA) with the local
+ mobility anchor (LMA) and to simultaneously establish multiple IP
+ tunnels with the LMA. This capability allows the MAG to utilize all
+ the available access networks to route the mobile node's IP traffic.
+ This document defines the following two new mobility header options:
+ the MAG Multipath Binding option and the MAG Identifier option.

+RFC 8278 MAG Multipath Binding Options January 2018
+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ Multihoming support on IP hosts can greatly improve the user
+ experience. With the simultaneous use of multiple access networks,
+ multihoming brings better network connectivity, reliability, and
+ improved quality of communication. The following are some of the
+ goals and benefits of multihoming support:
+
+ o Redundancy/Fault-Recovery
+
+ o Load balancing
+
+ o Load sharing
+
+ o Preference settings
+
+ According to [RFC4908], users of small-scale networks can benefit
+ from a mobile and fixed multihomed architecture using mobile IP
+ [RFC6275] and Network Mobility (NEMO) [RFC3963].
+
+ The motivation for this work is to extend the PMIPv6 protocol with
+ multihoming extensions [RFC4908] for realizing the following
+ capabilities:
+
+ o Using GRE as mobile tunneling, possibly with its key extension
+ [RFC5845].
+
+ o Using UDP encapsulation [RFC5844] in order to support NAT
+ traversal in an IPv4 networking environment.
+
+ o Using the prefix delegation mechanism [RFC7148].
+
+ o Using the Vendor Specific Mobility Option [RFC5094], for example,
+ to allow the MAG and LMA to exchange information (e.g., WAN
+ interface QoS metrics), which allows the appropriate traffic-
+ steering decisions to be made.
+
+ PMIPv6 relies on two mobility entities: the MAG, which acts as the
+ default gateway for the end node (either a mobile or a fixed node)
+ attached to the MAG's access links, and the LMA, which acts as the
+ topological anchor point. IP tunnel is created with any one of the
+ supported encapsulation mode between the MAG and the LMA. Then, the
+ MAG and LMA distribute the end node's traffic over these tunnels.
+ All PMIPv6 operations are performed on behalf of the end node and its
+ correspondent node. Thus, it makes PMIPv6 well adapted to multihomed
+ architecture as considered in [RFC4908]. Taking the LTE and WLAN
+ networking environments as examples, the PMIPv6-based multihomed
+ architecture is depicted in Figure 1. In this example, IP flows,
+
+
+

+
+RFC 8278 MAG Multipath Binding Options January 2018
+
+
+ Flow-1 and Flow-3 are routed over Tunnel-1 and Flow-2 is routed over
+ Tunnel-2. However, IP traffic belonging to Flow-4 is distributed on
+ both Tunnel-1 and Tunnel-2 paths.

+ Figure 1: Multihomed MAG Using Proxy Mobile IPv6
+
+ The current version of PMIPv6 does not allow a MAG to register more
+ than one pCoA to the LMA. In other words, only one MAG/LMA link,
+ i.e., IP-in-IP tunnel, can be used at the same time. This document
+ overcomes this limitation by defining the multiple pCoAs extension
+ for PMIPv6.

+
+3. Overview
+
+3.1. Example Call Flow
+
+ Figure 2 is the call flow detailing multi-access support with PMIPv6.
+ The MAG in this example scenario is equipped with both WLAN and LTE
+ interfaces and is also configured with the multihoming functionality.
+ The steps of the call flow are as follows:
+
+ Steps (1) and (2): The MAG attaches to both WLAN and LTE networks.
+ Then, the MAG obtains two different pCoAs, respectfully.
+
+ Step (3): The MAG sends, over the LTE access, a Proxy Binding Update
+ (PBU) message with the new MAG Multipath Binding (MMB) and MAG
+ Network Access Identifier (MAG-NAI) options to the LMA. The request
+ can be for a physical mobile node attached to the MAG or for a
+ logical mobile node configured on the mobile access gateway. A
+ logical mobile node is a logical representation of a mobile node in
+ the form of a configuration that is always enabled on the MAG. The
+ mobility session that is created (i.e., create a Binding Cache Entry
+ (BCE)) on the LMA will be marked with multipath support.
+
+ Step (4): The LMA sends back a Proxy Binding Acknowledgement (PBA)
+ including the Home Network Prefix (HNP) and other session parameters
+ allocated for that mobility session.
+
+ Step (5): IP tunnel is created between the MAG and the LMA over LTE
+ access with any one of the supported encapsulation modes.
+
+ Steps (6) to (8): The MAG repeats steps (3) to (5) on the WLAN
+ access. The MAG includes the HNP, received on step (4) in the PBU.
+ The LMA updates its binding cache by creating a new mobility session
+ for this MAG.
+
+ Steps (9) and (10): The IP hosts MN_1 and MN_2 are assigned IP
+ addresses from the mobile network prefix delegated to the MAG by the
+ LMA.

+
+3.2. Traffic Distribution Schemes
+
+ When the MAG has registered a multipath binding with the LMA, there
+ will be multiple established overlay tunnels between them. The MAG
+ and the LMA can use any one, or more, of the available tunnel paths
+ for routing the mobile node's IP traffic. This specification does
+ not recommend or define any specific traffic distribution scheme.
+ However, it identifies two well-known approaches that implementations
+ can potentially use. These approaches are per-flow and per-packet
+ traffic distribution schemes.
+
+
+
+
+
+Seite, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
+
+RFC 8278 MAG Multipath Binding Options January 2018
+
+
+ Per-Flow Traffic Distribution:
+
+ o In this approach, the MAG and the LMA associate each of the IP
+ flows (upstream and downstream) with a specific tunnel path. The
+ packets in a given IP flow are always routed on the same overlay
+ tunnel path; they are never split and routed concurrently on more
+ than one tunnel path. It is possible for a given flow to be moved
+ from one tunnel path to another, but the flow is never split. The
+ decision to bind a given IP flow to a specific tunnel path is
+ based on the traffic distribution policy. This traffic
+ distribution policy is either statically configured on both the
+ MAG and the LMA or dynamically negotiated over PMIPv6 signaling.
+ The Flow Binding extension [RFC6089] and Traffic Selectors for
+ Flow Bindings [RFC6088] define the mechanism and the semantics for
+ exchanging the traffic policy between two tunnel peers; the same
+ mechanism and the mobility options are used here.
+
+ Per-Packet Traffic Distribution:
+
+ o In this approach, packets belonging to a given IP flow will be
+ split and routed across more than one tunnel path. The exact
+ approach for traffic distribution or the distribution weights is
+ outside the scope of this specification. In a very simplistic
+ approach, assuming that the established tunnel paths have
+ symmetric characteristics, the packets can be equally distributed
+ on all the available tunnel paths. In a different scenario, when
+ the links have different speeds, the chosen approach can be based
+ on weighted distribution (e.g., n:m ratio). However, in any of
+ these chosen approaches, implementations have to be sensitive to
+ issues related to asymmetric link characteristics and the
+ resulting issues such as reordering, buffering, and the impact on
+ application performance. Care must be taken to ensure that there
+ is no negative impact on the application performance due to the
+ use of this approach.
+
+4. Protocol Extensions
+
+4.1. MAG Multipath Binding Option
+
+ The MAG Multipath Binding option is a new mobility header option
+ defined for use with PBU and PBA messages exchanged between the LMA
+ and the MAG.
+
+ This mobility header option is used for requesting multipath support.
+ It indicates that the MAG is requesting that the LMA register the
+ current CoA associated with the request as one of the many CoAs
+
+
+
+
+
+Seite, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 8278 MAG Multipath Binding Options January 2018
+
+
+ through which the MAG can be reached. It is also used for carrying
+ the information related to the access network associated with the
+ CoA.
+
+ The MAG Multipath Binding option does not have any alignment
+ requirement. Its format is as shown in Figure 3:
+
+ 0 1 2 3
+ 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

+
+ 8-bit unsigned integer indicating the length of the option in

+
+ Interface Access-Technology Type (If-ATT)
+
+ This 8-bit field identifies the Access-Technology type of the
+ interface through which the mobile node is connected. The
+ permitted values for this are from the Access Technology Type
+ registry <https://www.iana.org/assignments/mobility-parameters/>
+ defined in [RFC5213].
+
+ Interface Label (If-Label)
+
+ This 8-bit unsigned integer represents the interface label.
+
+ The interface label is an identifier configured on the WAN
+ interface of the MAG. All the WAN interfaces of the MAG that are
+ used for sending PBU messages are configured with a label. The
+ labels merely identify the type of WAN interface and are primarily
+ used in application-routing policies. For example, a Wi-Fi
+ interface can be configured with a label "9" and an LTE interface
+ with a label "11". Furthermore, the same label may be configured
+ on two WAN interfaces of similar characteristics (e.g., two
+ Ethernet interfaces with the same label).
+
+
+
+
+Seite, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
+
+RFC 8278 MAG Multipath Binding Options January 2018
+
+
+ Interface labels are signaled from the MAG to the LMA in the PBU
+ messages and both the LMA and MAG will be able to mark each of the
+ dynamically created Binding/Tunnel with the associated label.
+ These labels are used in generating consistent application-routing
+ rules on the both the LMA and the MAG. For example, there can be
+ a policy requiring HTTP packets to be routed over an interface
+ that has the interface label of "9", and if any of the interfaces
+ with interface label "9" are not available, the traffic needs to
+ be routed over the interface with the interface label "11". The
+ MAG and the LMA will be able to apply this routing rule with the
+ exchange of interface labels in PBU messages and by associating
+ the application flows to tunnels with the matching interface
+ labels.
+
+ Binding Identifier (BID)
+
+ This 8-bit unsigned integer is used for identifying the binding.
+ The permitted values are 1 through 254. The values 0 and 255 are
+ reserved.
+
+ The MAG identifies each of the mobile node's bindings with a
+ unique identifier. The MAG includes the identifier in the PBU
+ message; when the PBU request is accepted by the LMA, the
+ resulting binding is associated with this BID in the mobile node's
+ Binding Cache entry.
+
+ Bulk Re-registration Flag (B)
+
+ If set to a value of (1), this flag notifies the LMA to consider
+ this as a request to update the binding lifetime of all the mobile
+ node's bindings upon accepting this specific request. The (B)
+ flag MUST NOT be set to a value of (1) if the value of the
+ Registration Overwrite (O) flag is set to a value of (1).
+
+ Registration Overwrite (O)
+
+ This flag, if set to a value of (1), notifies the LMA that upon
+ accepting this request, it should replace all of the mobile node's
+ existing bindings with this binding. This flag MUST NOT be set to
+ a value of (1) if the value of the Bulk Re-registration Flag (B)
+ is set to a value of (1). This flag MUST be set to a value of (0)
+ in De-Registration requests.
+
+ Reserved
+
+ This field is unused in this specification. The value MUST be set
+ to zero (0) by the sender and MUST be ignored by the receiver.

+4.2. MAG Identifier Option
+
+ The MAG Identifier option is a new mobility header option defined for
+ use with PBU and PBA messages exchanged between the LMA and the MAG.
+ This mobility header option is used for conveying the MAG's identity.

+
+
+4.3. New Status Code for Proxy Binding Acknowledgement
+
+ This document defines the following new Status Code value for use in
+ PBA messages.
+
+ The LMA SHOULD use this error code when rejecting a PBU message from
+ a MAG requesting a multipath binding. The following is the potential
+ reason for rejecting the request:
+
+ o The LMA does not support multipath binding.
+
+ CANNOT_SUPPORT_MULTIPATH_BINDING (Cannot Support Multipath Binding):
+ 180
+
+4.4. Signaling Considerations
+
+ o The MAG, when requesting multipath support, MUST include the MAG
+ Multipath Binding option (Section 4.1) in each of the PBU messages
+ that it sends through the different WAN interfaces. The inclusion
+ of this option serves as a hint that the MAG is requesting
+ multipath support. Furthermore, the MAG Identifier option MUST
+ also be present in the PBU message.
+
+ o If the MAG is aware that the LMA supports the multipath binding
+ option defined in this specification and if it chooses to use
+ multiple paths, then it can send the PBU packets for each of the
+ paths, either sequentially or concurrently. However, if the MAG
+ is not aware of the LMA capability, then it SHOULD first discover
+ the LMA capability by sending PBU packets with multipath on only
+ one path first. This will ensure that the LMA will not be
+ overwriting the binding of one path with the other path.
+
+ o If the LMA supports multipath capability as defined in this
+ specification and if it enables the same for a mobile node's
+ session per the MAG's request, then the LMA MUST include the
+ Multipath Binding option (Section 4.1) without the MAG-NAI option
+ (Section 4.2) in the corresponding PBA reply.
+
+ o If the LMA is a legacy LMA that does not support this
+ specification, the LMA will skip the MAG Multipath Binding option
+ (and MAG-NAI option) and process the rest of the message as
+ specified in the base PMIPv6 specification ([RFC5213]).
+ Furthermore, the LMA will not include the MAG Multipath Binding
+ option (or the MAG-NAI option) in the PBA message. The MAG, upon
+ receiving the PBA message without the MAG Multipath Binding
+ option, SHOULD disable multipath support for the mobile node.
+
+
+
+
+
+Seite, et al. Standards Track [Page 11]
+
+RFC 8278 MAG Multipath Binding Options January 2018
+
+
+ o If the mobile node is not authorized for multipath support, then
+ the LMA will reject the request by sending a PBA message with the
+ Status field value set to CANNOT_SUPPORT_MULTIPATH_BINDING
+ (Section 4.3). The LMA MUST echo the MAG Multipath Binding option
+ (without the MAG-NAI option) in the PBA message. The MAG, upon
+ receiving this message, SHOULD disable multipath support for the
+ mobile node.
+
+5. IANA Considerations
+
+ This specification defines a new mobility option: the MAG Multipath
+ Binding option. The format of this option is described in
+ Section 4.1. The type value 63 has been allocated for this mobility
+ option from the "Mobility Options" registry at
+ <http://www.iana.org/assignments/mobility-parameters>.
+
+ This specification defines a new mobility option: the MAG Identifier
+ option. The format of this option is described in Section 4.2. The
+ type value 64 has been allocated for this mobility option from the
+ "Mobility Options" registry at <http://www.iana.org/assignments/
+ mobility-parameters>.
+
+ This document defines a new status value:
+ CANNOT_SUPPORT_MULTIPATH_BINDING (180) for use in PBA messages, as
+ described in Section 4.3. This value has been assigned from the
+ "Status Codes" registry at <http://www.iana.org/assignments/mobility-
+ parameters>.
+
+6. Security Considerations
+
+ This specification allows a MAG to establish multiple PMIPv6 tunnels
+ with an LMA by registering a care-of address for each of its
+ connected access networks. This essentially allows the mobile node's
+ IP traffic to be routed through any of the tunnel paths based on the
+ negotiated flow policy. This new capability has no impact on the
+ protocol security. Furthermore, this specification defines two new
+ mobility header options: the MAG Multipath Binding option and the MAG
+ Identifier option. These options are carried like any other mobility
+ header option as specified in [RFC5213]. Therefore, it inherits
+ security guidelines from [RFC5213]. Thus, this specification does
+ not weaken the security of the PMIPv6 Protocol and does not introduce
+ any new security vulnerabilities.
