Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 5447 Diameter MIPv6 NAS-to-HAAA Interaction February 2009 + + +1. Introduction + + The Mobile IPv6 (MIPv6) specification [RFC3775] requires a mobile + node (MN) to perform registration with a home agent (HA) with + information about its current point of attachment (care-of address). + The HA creates and maintains the binding between the MN's home + address and the MN's care-of address. + + In order to register with an HA, the MN needs to know some + information, such as the home link prefix, the HA address, the home + address(es), the home link prefix length, and security-association- + related information. + + The aforementioned information may be statically configured. + However, static provisioning becomes an administrative burden for an + operator. Moreover, it does not address load balancing, failover, + opportunistic home link assignment, or assignment of local HAs in + close proximity to the MN. Also, the ability to react to sudden + environmental or topological changes is minimal. Static provisioning + may not be desirable, in light of these limitations. + + Dynamic assignment of MIPv6 home registration information is a + desirable feature for ease of deployment and network maintenance. + For this purpose, the AAA infrastructure, which is used for access + authentication, can be leveraged to assign some or all of the + necessary parameters. The Diameter server in the Access Service + Provider's (ASP's) or Mobility Service Provider's (MSP's) network may + return these parameters to the AAA client. Regarding the + bootstrapping procedures, the AAA client might either be the Network + Access Server, in case of the integrated scenario, or the HA, in case + of the split scenario [RFC5026]. The terms "integrated" and "split" + are described in the following terminology section and were + introduced in [RFC4640] and [AAA]. + +2. Terminology and Abbreviations + + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", + "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this + document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. + + General mobility terminology can be found in [RFC3753]. The + following additional terms are either borrowed from [RFC4640] or + [RFC5026] or are introduced in this document: + + Access Service Authorizer (ASA): + + A network operator that authenticates an MN and establishes the + MN's authorization to receive Internet service. + + + +Korhonen, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 5447 Diameter MIPv6 NAS-to-HAAA Interaction February 2009 + + + Access Service Provider (ASP): + + A network operator that provides direct IP packet-forwarding to + and from the MN. + + Mobility Service Authorizer (MSA): + + A service provider that authorizes MIPv6 service. + + Mobility Service Provider (MSP): + + A service provider that provides MIPv6 service. In order to + obtain such service, the MN must be authenticated and authorized + to do so. + + Split Scenario: + + A scenario where the mobility service and the network access + service are authorized by different entities. + + Integrated Scenario: + + A scenario where the mobility service and the network access + service are authorized by the same entity. + + Network Access Server (NAS): + + A device that provides an access service for a user to a network. + + Home AAA (HAAA): + + An Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting server located in + the user's home network, i.e., in the home realm. + + Local AAA (LAAA): + + An Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting proxy located in + the local (ASP) network. + + Visited AAA (VAAA): + + An Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting proxy located in + a visited network, i.e., in the visited realm. In a roaming case, + the local Diameter proxy has the VAAA role (see Figure 1). + + + + + + + +Korhonen, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 5447 Diameter MIPv6 NAS-to-HAAA Interaction February 2009 + + +3. Overview + + This document addresses the Authentication, Authorization, and + Accounting (AAA) functionality required for the MIPv6 bootstrapping + solutions outlined in [RFC4640], and focuses on the Diameter-based + AAA functionality for the NAS-to-HAAA (home AAA) server + communication. + + In the integrated scenario, MIPv6 bootstrapping is provided as part + of the network access authentication procedure. Figure 1 shows the + participating entities. + + +---------------------------+ +-----------------+ + |Access Service Provider | |ASA/MSA/(MSP) | + |(Mobility Service Provider)| | | + | | | | + | +--------+ | | +--------+ | + | |Local | Diameter | | |Home | | + | |Diameter|<---------------------->|Diameter| | + | |Proxy | (*) | | |Server | | + | +--------+ | | +--------+ | + | ^ ^ | | ^ | + | | | | | |(+) | + | | | | | | | + | Diameter | | v | + | | |(+) +-------+ | | +-------+ | + | | | |Home | | | |Home | | + | | +-------->|Agent | | | |Agent | | + | (*)| |in ASP | | | |in MSP | | + | v +-------+ | | +-------+ | + +-------+ IEEE | +-----------+ +-------+ | +-----------------+ + |Mobile | 802.1X | |NAS/Relay | |DHCPv6 | | + |Node |------------|Diameter |---|Server | | + | | PANA, | |Client |(+)| | | + +-------+ IKEv2, | +-----------+ +-------+ | + DHCP,... +---------------------------+ + (+) + + Legend: + (*): Functionality in scope of this specification. + (+): Extensions described in other documents. + + Figure 1: Mobile IPv6 Bootstrapping in the Integrated Scenario + + In a typical MIPv6 access scenario, an MN is attached to an ASP's + network. During the network attachment procedure, the MN interacts + with the NAS/Diameter client. Subsequently, the NAS/Diameter client + interacts with the Diameter server over the NAS-to-HAAA interface. + + + +Korhonen, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 5447 Diameter MIPv6 NAS-to-HAAA Interaction February 2009 + + + When the Diameter server performs the authentication and + authorization for network access, it also determines whether the user + is authorized for the MIPv6 service. Based on the MIPv6 service + authorization and the user's policy profile, the Diameter server may + return several MIPv6 bootstrapping-related parameters to the NAS. + The NAS-to-HAAA interface described in this document is not tied to + the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) as the only + mechanism to convey MIPv6-related configuration parameters from the + NAS/Diameter client to the mobile node. + + While this specification addresses the bootstrapping of MIPv6 HA + information and possibly the assignment of the home link prefix, it + does not address how the Security Association (SA) between the MN and + the HA for MIPv6 purposes is created. The creation or the use of the + SA between the MN and the HA takes places after the procedures + described in this specification, and therefore are out of scope. + +4. Commands, Attribute-Value Pairs, and Advertising Application Support + +4.1. Advertising Application Support + + This document does not define a new application. On the other hand, + it defines a number of attribute-value pairs (AVPs) used in the + interface between NAS to HAAA for the integrated scenario of MIPv6 + bootstrapping. These AVPs can be used with any present and future + Diameter applications, where permitted by the command ABNF. The + examples using existing applications and their commands in the + following sections are for informational purposes only. The examples + in this document reuse the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) + [RFC4072] application and its respective commands. + +4.2. Attribute-Value Pair Definitions + +4.2.1. MIP6-Agent-Info AVP + + The MIP6-Agent-Info AVP (AVP code 486) is of type Grouped and + contains necessary information to assign an HA to the MN. When the + MIP6-Agent-Info AVP is present in a message, it MUST contain either + the MIP-Home-Agent-Address AVP, the MIP-Home-Agent-Host AVP, or both + AVPs. The grouped AVP has the following modified ABNF (as defined in + [RFC3588]): + + MIP6-Agent-Info ::= < AVP-Header: 486 > + *2[ MIP-Home-Agent-Address ] + [ MIP-Home-Agent-Host ] + [ MIP6-Home-Link-Prefix ] + * [ AVP ] + + + + +Korhonen, et al. Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 5447 Diameter MIPv6 NAS-to-HAAA Interaction February 2009 + + + If both the MIP-Home-Agent-Address and MIP-Home-Agent-Host APVs are + present in the MIP6-Agent-Info, the MIP-Home-Agent-Address SHOULD + have a precedence over the MIP-Home-Agent-Host. The reason for this + recommendation is that the MIP-Home-Agent-Address points to a + specific home agent, whereas the MIP-Home-Agent-Host may point to a + group of HAs located within the same realm. A Diameter client or + agent may use the MIP-Home-Agent-Host AVP, for instance, to find out + in which realm the HA is located. + + The ABNF allows returning up to two MIPv6 HA addresses. This is a + useful feature for deployments where the HA has both IPv6 and IPv4 + addresses, and particularly addresses Dual Stack Mobile IPv6 + (DSMIPv6) deployment scenarios [DSMIPv6]. + + The MIP6-Agent-Info AVP MAY also be attached by the NAS or by the + intermediating Diameter proxies in a request message when sent to the + Diameter server as a hint of a locally assigned HA. This AVP MAY + also be attached by the intermediating Diameter proxies in a reply + message from the Diameter server, if locally assigned HAs are + authorized by the Diameter server. There MAY be multiple instances + of the MIP6-Agent-Info AVP in Diameter messages, for example, in + cases where the NAS receives HA information from an MN's home network + and locally allocated HA information from the visited network. See + Section 4.2.5 for further discussion on possible scenarios. + +4.2.2. MIP-Home-Agent-Address AVP + + The MIP-Home-Agent-Address AVP (AVP Code 334 [RFC4004]) is of type + Address and contains the IPv6 or IPv4 address of the MIPv6 HA. The + Diameter server MAY decide to assign an HA to the MN that is in close + proximity to the point of attachment (e.g., determined by the NAS- + Identifier AVP). There may be other reasons for dynamically + assigning HAs to the MN, for example, to share the traffic load. + +4.2.3. MIP-Home-Agent-Host AVP + + The MIP-Home-Agent-Host AVP (AVP Code 348 [RFC4004]) is of type + Grouped and contains the identity of the assigned MIPv6 HA. Both the + Destination-Realm and the Destination-Host AVPs of the HA are + included in the grouped AVP. The usage of the MIP-Home-Agent-Host + AVP is equivalent to the MIP-Home-Agent-Address AVP but offers an + additional level of indirection by using the DNS infrastructure. The + Destination-Host AVP is used to identify an HA, and the Destination- + Realm AVP is used to identify the realm where the HA is located. + + Depending on the actual deployment and DNS configuration, the + Destination-Host AVP MAY represent one or more home agents. It is + RECOMMENDED that the Destination-Host AVP identifies exactly one HA. + + + +Korhonen, et al. Standards Track [Page 7] + +RFC 5447 Diameter MIPv6 NAS-to-HAAA Interaction February 2009 + + + It is RECOMMENDED that the MIP-Home-Agent-Host AVP is always included + in the MIP6-Agent-Info AVP. In this way, the HA can be associated + with the corresponding realm of the Diameter entity that added the + MIP6-Agent-Info AVP using the Destination-Realm AVP, which is + included in the MIP-Home-Agent-Host AVP. + +4.2.4. MIP6-Home-Link-Prefix AVP + + The MIP6-Home-Link-Prefix AVP (AVP Code 125) is of type OctetString + and contains the Mobile IPv6 home network prefix information in a + network byte order. The home network prefix MUST be encoded as the + 8-bit prefix length information (one octet) followed by the 128-bit + field (16 octets) for the available home network prefix. The + trailing bits of the IPv6 prefix after the prefix length bits MUST be + set to zero (e.g., if the prefix length is 60, then the remaining 68 + bits MUST be set to zero). + + The HAAA MAY act as a central entity managing prefixes for MNs. In + this case, the HAAA returns to the NAS the prefix allocated to the + MN. The NAS/ASP then delivers the home link prefix to the MN using, + e.g., mechanisms described in [INTEGRATED]. The NAS/ASP MAY propose + to the HAAA a specific prefix to allocate to the MN by including the + MIP6-Home-Link-Prefix AVP in the request message. However, the HAAA + MAY override the prefix allocation hint proposed by the NAS/ASP and + return a different prefix in the response message. + +4.2.5. MIP6-Feature-Vector AVP + + The MIP6-Feature-Vector AVP (AVP Code 124) is of type Unsigned64 and + contains a 64-bit flags field of supported capabilities of the NAS/ + ASP. Sending and receiving the MIP6-Feature-Vector AVP with value 0 + MUST be supported, although that does not provide much guidance about + specific needs of bootstrapping. + + The NAS MAY include this AVP to indicate capabilities of the NAS/ASP + to the Diameter server. For example, the NAS may indicate that a + local HA can be provided. Similarly, the Diameter server MAY include + this AVP to inform the NAS/ASP about which of the NAS/ASP indicated + capabilities are supported or authorized by the ASA/MSA(/MSP). + + The following capabilities are defined in this document: + + + + + + + + + + +Korhonen, et al. Standards Track [Page 8] + +RFC 5447 Diameter MIPv6 NAS-to-HAAA Interaction February 2009 + + + MIP6_INTEGRATED (0x0000000000000001) + + When this flag is set by the NAS, it means that the Mobile IPv6 + integrated scenario bootstrapping functionality is supported by + the NAS. When this flag is set by the Diameter server, then the + Mobile IPv6 integrated scenario bootstrapping is supported by the + Diameter server. + + LOCAL_HOME_AGENT_ASSIGNMENT (0x0000000000000002) + + When this flag is set in the request message, a local home agent + outside the home realm is requested and may be assigned to the MN. + When this flag is set by the Diameter server in the answer + message, then the assignment of local HAs is authorized by the + Diameter server. + + A local HA may be assigned by the NAS, LAAA, or VAAA depending on + the network architecture and the deployment. + + The following examples show how the LOCAL_HOME_AGENT_ASSIGNMENT + (referred to as LOCAL-bit in the examples) capability and the MIP- + Agent-Info AVP (referred to as HA-Info in the examples) are used to + assign HAs -- either a local HA (L-HA) or a home network HA (H-HA). + Below are examples of request message combinations as seen by the + HAAA: + + LOCAL-bit HA-Info Meaning + + 0 - ASP or [LV]AAA is not able to assign an L-HA. + 0 L-HA Same as above. HA-Info must be ignored. + 1 - ASP or [LV]AAA can/wishes to assign an L-HA. + 1 L-HA Same as above but the ASP or [LV]AAA also + provides a hint of the assigned L-HA. + + The same as above but for answer message combinations as seen by the + NAS: + + LOCAL-bit HA-Info Meaning + + 0 - No HA assignment allowed for HAAA or [LV]AAA. + 0 H-HA L-HA is not allowed. HAAA assigns an H-HA. + 1 - L-HA is allowed. No HAAA- or [LV]AAA-assigned HA. + 1 L-HA L-HA is allowed. [LV]AAA also assigns an L-HA. + 1 H-HA L-HA is allowed. HAAA also assigns an HA. + 1 H-HA L-HA is allowed. HAAA assigns an H-HA and + + L-HA [LV]AAA also assigns an L-HA. + + An NAS should expect to receive multiple MIP6-Agent-Info AVPs. + + + +Korhonen, et al.

Home Agent Assignment by the NAS + + In this scenario, we consider the case where the NAS wishes to + allocate a local HA to the MN. The NAS will also inform the Diameter + server about the HA address it has assigned to the visiting MN (e.g., + 2001:db8:1:c020::1). The Diameter-EAP-Request message, therefore, + has the MIP6-Feature-Vector with the LOCAL_HOME_AGENT_ASSIGNMENT and + the MIP6_INTEGRATED set.
