1.  Introduction

   In scenarios where network configuration information becomes invalid
   without any explicit signaling of that condition (such as when a
   Customer Edge Router crashes and reboots without knowledge of the
   previously-employed configuration information), hosts on the local
   network will continue using stale information for an unacceptably
   long period of time, thus resulting in connectivity problems.  This
   problem is documented in detail in [I-D.ietf-v6ops-slaac-renum].

   This document specifies improvements to Customer Edge (CE) Routers
   that help mitigate the aforementioned problem for residential and
   small office scenarios.  It specifies recommendations for the default
   behavior of CE Routers, and does not preclude the availability of
   configuration knobs that might allow an operator or user to manually-
   configure the CE Router to deviate from these recommendations.  This
   document updates RFC7084.

2.  Requirements Language

   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 BCP

   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

3.  Improved Customer Edge Router Behavior

   This section specifies and clarifies requirements for Customer Edge
   Routers that can help mitigate the problem discussed in Section 1,
   particularly when they employ prefixes learned via DHCPv6-Prefix
   Delegation (DHCPv6-PD) [RFC8415] on the WAN-side with Stateless
   Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) [RFC4862] or DHCPv6 [RFC8415] on
   the LAN-side.  The recommendations in this document help improve
   robustness at the Customer Edge Router (on which the user or ISP may
   have no control), and do not preclude implementation of host-side
   improvements such as those specified in [I-D.ietf-6man-slaac-renum].

   This document specifies additional prefix-delegation requirements to
   those specified in [RFC7084]:

   o  WPD-9: CE routers SHOULD NOT automatically send DHCPv6-PD RELEASE
      messages upon reboot events.  See Section 3.1 for further details.

   o  WPD-10: CE Routers MUST by default use a stable IAID value that
      does not change between CE Router restarts, DHCPv6 client
      restarts, or interface state changes. e.g., Transient PPP
      interfaces.  See Section 3.2 for further details.

   This document also replaces LAN-side requirement L-13 from [RFC7084]
   with:

   o  L-13: CE routers MUST signal stale configuration information as
      specified in Section 3.5.

   Finally, this document specifies the following additional LAN-side
   requirements to those from [RFC7084]:

   o  L-15: CE routers MUST NOT advertise prefixes via SLAAC or assign
      addresses or delegate prefixes via DHCPv6 on the LAN-side,
      employing lifetimes that exceed the remaining lifetimes of the
      corresponding prefixes learned from the WAN-side via DHCPv6-PD.
      For more details, see Section 3.3.

   o  L-16: CE routers SHOULD advertise capped SLAAC option lifetimes
      and capped DHCPv6 IA Address Option and IA Prefix Option
      lifetimes, as specified in Section 3.4.

Internet-Draft       Reaction to Renumbering Events        February 2021

3.1.  Automatic DHCPv6 RELEASEs

   Some CE Routers are known to automatically send DHCPv6-PD RELEASE
   messages upon reboot events.  However, this may inadvertently trigger
   a flash-renumbering scenario, along with the associated problems
   discussed in [I-D.ietf-v6ops-slaac-renum], that this document
   attempts to mitigate.

   As a result, requirement WPD-9 from Section 3 specifies that CE
   routers SHOULD NOT automatically send DHCPv6-PD RELEASE messages upon
   reboot events.

3.2.  Stability of IAIDs

   [RFC8415] requires that the IAID for an IA MUST be consistent across
   restarts of the DHCP client.  However, some popular CE Routers are
   known to select new random IAIDs e.g. everytime the underlying PPP
   session is established.  This could be the result of extrapolating
   the behavior described in [RFC7844], or simply a consequence of not
   storing IAIDs on stable storage along with failing to employ an
   algorithm that consistently generates the same IAID upon reboots.
   Thus, requirement WPD-10 from Section 3 prevents CE Routers from
   inadvertently triggering flash-renumbering events on the local
   network.

3.3.  Interface Between WAN-side and LAN-side

   The "Preferred Lifetime" and "Valid Lifetime" of Prefix Information
   Options (PIOs) [RFC4861] corresponding to prefixes learned via
   DHCPv6-PD MUST NOT span past the remaining preferred and valid
   lifetimes of the corresponding DHCPv6-PD prefixes.  This means that
   the "Preferred Lifetime" and the "Valid Lifetime" advertised in PIOs
   by the CE router MUST be dynamically adjusted such that they never
   span past the remaining preferred and valid lifetimes of the
   corresponding prefixes delegated via DHCPv6-PD on the WAN-side.

   Similarly, the "preferred-lifetime" and "valid-lifetime" of DHCPv6 IA
   Address Options and DHCPv6 IA Prefix Options employed with DHCPv6 on
   the LAN-side MUST NOT span past the remaining preferred and valid
   lifetimes of the corresponding prefixes leased via DHCPv6-PD on the
   WAN-side.  This means that the "preferred-lifetime" and "valid-
   lifetime" of DHCPv6 IA Address Options and DHCPv6 IA Prefix Options
   employed with DHCPv6 on the LAN-side MUST be dynamically adjusted
   such that they never span past the remaining preferred and valid
   lifetimes of the corresponding prefixes delegated to the CE router on
   the WAN-side via DHCPv6-PD.

      *  The lifetime values employed for the "Preferred Lifetime"
         (AdvPreferredLifetime) and "Valid Lifetime" (AdvValidLifetime)
         of SLAAC Prefix Information Options must never be larger than
         the remaining lifetimes for the corresponding prefix (as
         learned via DHCPv6-PD on the WAN-side).  This is in line with
         the requirement from Section 6.3 of [RFC8415], which states
         that "if the delegated prefix or a prefix derived from it is
         advertised for stateless address autoconfiguration [RFC4862],
         the advertised preferred and valid lifetimes MUST NOT exceed
         the corresponding remaining lifetimes of the delegated prefix."

      *  The lifetime values of prefixes advertised on the LAN-side via
         SLAAC must be dynamically updated (rather than static values),
         otherwise the advertised lifetimes would eventually span past
         the DHCPv6-PD lifetimes.

      *  The same considerations apply for the valid-lifetime and
         preferred-lifetime of IA Address Options and IA Prefix Options
         employed with DHCPv6 on the LAN-side.

3.4.  LAN-side Option Lifetimes

   CE Routers SHOULD override the default lifetime values of Neighbor
   Discovery options that depend in any way on changes in the prefix
   employed for address configuration on the LAN-side, and employ
   shorter lifetime values to improve the robustness to renumbering
   events, while complying with the requirements from Section 3.3 of
   this document and the recommendations in [RFC7772].

   CE Routers SHOULD set the Router Lifetime to ND_PREFERRED_LIMIT.

   CE Routers SHOULD also set the PIO Preferred Lifetime to the lesser
   of the remaining preferred lifetime (see Section 3.3) and
   ND_PREFERRED_LIMIT, and the PIO Valid Lifetime to the lesser of the
   remaining valid lifetime and ND_VALID_LIMIT.  Additionally, the Route
   Lifetime of Route Information Options (RIOs) [RFC4191], the Lifetime
   of Recursive DNS Search Options (RDNSSO) [RFC8106], and the Lifetime
   of DNS Search List Options (DNSSLO) [RFC8106] SHOULD be set to the
   lesser of the longest valid-lifetime in a DHCPv6 IA Prefix Option
   (received via DHCPv6 on the WAN-side) and ND_VALID_LIMIT, if any of
   these options are included in Router Advertisement messages.

   NOTES:  In scenarios where the valid-lifetime and the preferred-
      lifetime of the prefix leased via DHCPv6 on the WAN-side are
      always larger than ND_VALID_LIMIT and ND_PREFERRED_LIMIT,
      respectively, the lifetime values advertised on the LAN-side will
      not experience actual changes.

      The above text refers to the Neighbor Discovery Options that are
      typically employed by CE Routers.  A CE Router may need to apply
      the same policy for setting the lifetime of other Neighbor
      Discovery options it employs, if and where applicable.

   CE Routers providing stateful address configuration via DHCPv6 SHOULD
   set the DHCPv6 IA Address Option preferred-lifetime to the lesser of
   the remaining preferred lifetime (see Section 3.3) and
   ND_PREFERRED_LIMIT, and the valid-lifetime of the same option to the
   lesser of the remaining valid lifetime and ND_VALID_LIMIT.

   CE Routers providing DHCPv6-PD on the LAN-side SHOULD set the DHCPv6
   IA Prefix Option preferred-lifetime to the lesser of the remaining
   preferred lifetime (see Section 3.3) and ND_PREFERRED_LIMIT, and the
   valid-lifetime of the same option to the lesser of the remaining
   valid lifetime and ND_VALID_LIMIT.

   RATIONALE:

      *  The Valid Lifetime and Preferred Lifetime of PIOs have a direct
         impact on three different aspects:

         +  The amount of time hosts may end up employing stale network
            configuration information (see
            [I-D.ietf-v6ops-slaac-renum]).

         +  The amount of time CE Routers need to persist trying to
            deprecate stale network configuration information (e.g. to
            handle cases where hosts miss Router Advertisements and thus
            still consider the stale information as valid).

         +  The amount of information that CE Routers need to maintain
            when e.g. multiple crash-and-reboot events occur in the
            timespan represented by the option lifetimes employed on the
            LAN-side.

      *  CE Routers need not employ the (possibly long) WAN-side
         DHCPv6-PD lifetimes for the Valid Lifetime and Preferred
         Lifetime of PIOs sent in Router Advertisements messages to
         advertise sub-prefixes of the leased prefix.  Instead, CE
         Routers SHOULD use shorter values for the Valid Lifetime and
         Preferred Lifetime of PIOs, since subsequent Router
         Advertisement messages will nevertheless refresh the associated
         lifetimes, leading to the same effective lifetimes as specified
         by the WAN-side DHCPv6-PD lifetimes.

      *  Similarly, CE Routers need not employ the (possibly long) WAN-
         side DHCPv6-PD lifetimes for the valid-lifetime and preferred-

         lifetime of IA Address Options and IA Prefix Option employed by
         DHCPv6 on the LAN-side, since the renewal of bindings by DHCPv6
         clients will lead to the same effective lifetimes as specified
         by the WAN-side DHCPv6-PD lifetimes.

3.5.  Signaling Stale Configuration Information

   When a CE Router provides LAN-side address-configuration information
   via SLAAC:

   o  A CE Router sending RAs that advertise dynamically-learned
      prefixes (e.g. via DHCPv6-PD) SHOULD record, on stable storage,
      the list of prefixes being advertised via PIOs on each network
      segment, and the state of the "A" and "L" flags of the
      corresponding PIOs.

   o  Upon changes to the advertised prefixes, and after bootstrapping,
      the CE Router advertising prefix information via SLAAC proceeds as
      follows:

      *  Any prefixes that were previously advertised by the CE Router
         via PIOs in RA messages, but that have now become stale, MUST
         be advertised with a PIO that has the "Valid Lifetime" and the
         "Preferred Lifetime" set to 0, and the "A" and "L" bits
         unchanged.

      *  The aforementioned advertisement MUST be performed for at least
         the "Valid Lifetime" previously employed for such prefix.  The
         CE Router MUST advertise this information with unsolicited
         Router Advertisements as described in Section 6.2.4 of
         [RFC4861], and MAY advertise this information via unicast
         Router Advertisements when possible and applicable.

         +  Note: If requirement L-16 (Section 3.4) is followed, the
            Valid Lifetime need not be saved and the stale prefix can
            simply be advertised for a period of ND_VALID_LIMIT.

   o  CE Routers receiving DHCPv6 Prefix Delegations with a 0 valid-
      lifetime MUST advertise the corresponding sub-prefixes (as they
      would be generated for the same leased prefix with a non-zero
      lifetime) with a PIO with both the Preferred Lifetime and the
      Valid Lifetime set to 0, for at least the WAN-side DHCPv6-PD
      valid-lifetime, or for a period of ND_VALID_LIMIT if the
      recommended lifetimes from Section 3.4 are employed.

   When a CE Router provides LAN-side DHCPv6 (address assignment or
   prefix delegation), then:

Gont, et al.             Expires August 20, 2021                [Page 7]
Internet-Draft       Reaction to Renumbering Events        February 2021

   o  The CE Router SHOULD record, on stable storage, the DHCPv6 address
      and delegated-prefix bindings corresponding to the LAN-side.

   o  If the CE Router finds that the prefix to be employed for address
      assignment and/or prefix delegation has changed (e.g., upon a
      crash-and-reboot event) or the CE Router receives DHCPv6 Prefix
      Delegations with 0 lifetimes, the CE Router MUST:

      *  In Replies to DHCPv6 Request, Renew, and Rebind messages, send
         IA Address Options or IA Prefix Options (as appropriate) for
         any address assignments or prefix delegations for the
         deprecated prefixes.  The aforementioned options MUST be sent
         with both the valid-lifetime and the preferred-lifetime set to
         0, for at least the valid-lifetime originally employed for
         them, or for a period of ND_VALID_LIMIT if the recommended
         lifetimes from Section 3.4 are employed.

      *  Initiate sending Reconfigure messages (if possible - i.e.,
         client requests Reconfigure support and the CE Router offers
         it) to those clients with address assignments or prefix
         delegations for the deprecated prefixes.

   RATIONALE:

      *  IPv6 network renumbering is expected to take place in a planned
         manner, with old/stale prefixes being phased-out via reduced
         prefix lifetimes while new prefixes (with normal lifetimes) are
         introduced.  However, a number of scenarios may lead to the so-
         called "flash-renumbering" events, where the prefix being
         employed on a network suddenly becomes invalid and replaced by
         a new prefix [I-D.ietf-v6ops-slaac-renum].  One such scenario
         is when a DHCPv6 server employs dynamic prefixes and the
         Customer Edge Router crashes and reboots.  The requirements in
         this section are meant to allow Customer Edge Routers to
         deprecate stale information in such scenarios.

      *  The recommendations in this section expand from requirement
         L-13 in Section 4.3 of [RFC7084], and Section 6.3 of [RFC8415].

      *  Host configuring addresses via SLAAC on the local network may
         employ addresses configured for the previously advertised
         prefixes for at most the "Valid Lifetime" of the corresponding
         PIO of the last received Router Advertisement message.  Since
         Router Advertisement messages may be lost or fail to be
         received for various reasons, Customer Edge Routers need to try
         to deprecate stale prefixes for a period of time equal to the
         "Valid Lifetime" of the PIO employed when originally
         advertising the prefix.

      *  The requirement in this section is conveyed as a "SHOULD" (as
         opposed to a "MUST"), since the requirement to store
         information on stable storage may represent a challenge for
         some implementations.

      *  Advertising DHCPv6-leased prefixes with zero lifetimes on the
         LAN-side would handle the case where a CE Router has no stable
         storage but receives the prefixes via DHCPv6 with 0 lifetimes.

      *  The above text does not include DHCPv6 Advertise messages sent
         in response to DHCPv6 Solicit messages, since Section 18.3.9 of
         [RFC8415] requires that a DHCPv6 server that is not going to
         assign an address or delegated prefix received as a hint in the
         Solicit message MUST NOT include that address or delegated
         prefix in the Advertise message.  Additionally, any subsequent
         Request messages will trigger the response specified in this
         section, and therefore cause the address or prefix to be
         deprecated.

4.  Recommended Option Lifetimes Configuration Values

   o  ND_PREFERRED_LIMIT: 2700 seconds (45 minutes)

   o  ND_VALID_LIMIT: 5400 seconds (90 minutes)

   RATIONALE:
      These values represent a trade-off among a number of factors,
      including responsiveness and possible impact on the battery life
      of connected devices [RFC7772].

      ND_PREFERRED_LIMIT is set according to the recommendations in
      [RFC7772] for Router Lifetime, following the rationale from
      Section 3.2 of [I-D.ietf-v6ops-slaac-renum].

      ND_VALID_LIMIT is set to 2 * ND_PREFERRED_LIMIT to provide some
      additional leeway before configuration information is finally
      discarded by the host.
