Internet-Draft           Peer Redirect for TURN            December 2014

1.  Introduction

   A Traversal Using Relay around NAT (TURN) [RFC5766] service provider
   may provide multiple candidate TURN servers for use by a host, but it
   might not possible to determine which candidate TURN server will
   provide the best performance until both peers have been identified.
   This could be true for a variety of reasons, including:

   o  Using the selected relay for a specific peer results in a sub-
      optimal end-to-end Internet path.

   o  Load conditions on the selected relay have changed since the
      allocation was established such that it cannot support the new
      data flow.

   At the same time, the above conditions might apply to one peer but
   not another, such that it would be best to selectively use the
   existing relay allocation for peers that will receive reasonable
   performance and redirect data flows for other peers to an alternate
   server.  These scenarios are discussed in greater detail below.

   The Session Traversal Utilities for NAT (STUN) protocol [RFC5389]
   defines an ALTERNATE-SERVER mechanism with which a server can
   redirect a client to another server by replying to a request message
   with an error response with error code 300 (Try Alternate).  The TURN
   protocol describes error code 300 as one of the possible error codes
   for an Allocate error response.

   This specification describes an additional use of the ALTERNATE-
   SERVER STUN attribute for TURN that allows the TURN server to
   redirect a client for the purpose of improving communication with a
   specific peer without negatively affecting communication with other
   peers.  The client application indicates the nature of the desired
   response, which allows the client to treat the alternate server
   selection as either a requirement or a suggestion.  This flexibility
   gives the client the option to choose the best way for the
   Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE) protocol [RFC5245] to
   respond (e.g. discarding the existing relay candidate for
   communication with this peer versus evaluating the two candidate
   servers using ICE connectivity checks and selecting the best one).

1.1.  Redirection for Performance

   Consider the following example:

Williams & Reddy          Expires July 2, 2015                  [Page 3]
Internet-Draft           Peer Redirect for TURN            December 2014

                                                             Boston
                                                             Peer C
                                         Chicago              [PC]
                                          Peer B               /
   TURN Relay A                  ----------[PB]-------------[TC]
   San Francisco      ----------/                       TURN Relay C
       [TA]----------/                                    New York
        |
       [PA]
      Peer A
    Los Angeles

   When Peer B wishes to communicate with either Peer A or Peer C, it
   performs a DNS lookup and discovers TURN Relay C, the nearest of the
   candidate TURN servers.  Peer B then sends a TURN Allocate request to
   TURN Relay C to determine the reflexive and relay candidates to
   offer.  After the reflexive candidate has been chosen, Peer B sends a
   ChannelBind request to TURN Relay C to establish a channel for
   communication with the peer.  If Peer C is the remote peer, the
   existing allocation will perform reasonably well, but if Peer A is
   the remote peer, the latency for relayed packets will be nearly twice
   as long as if TURN Relay A had been selected as the relay candidate.
   The problem is worse if Peer B wishes to communicate with both Peer A
   and Peer C, since there is no single relay candidate that would
   provide optimum performance for both peers.

   If TURN Relay C and TURN Relay A are part of a common TURN service,
   it would be possible for TURN Relay C to determine that TURN Relay A
   will provide optimal service for communication between Peer B and
   Peer A. This allows the TURN service to redirect just the data
   channel between Peer A and Peer B to TURN relay A, thus providing
   optimal performance for both relay channels.

   The above example describes the problem in terms of physical
   geography instead of network geography in order to help clarify the
   discussion.  However, readers should note that the problem of
   selecting a relay server to achieve optimal end-to-end routing is
   much more complicated than the above description suggests, requiring
   a detailed real-time view of network connectivity characteristics and
   the peering relationships between autonomous systems.  A naive
   approach based solely on the physical location of the hosts involved
   is just as likely to produce negative results as positive ones.

   That said, a relay service provider with a broadly distributed system
   for actively monitoring network performance across the relevant parts
   of the Internet could make use of the resulting data set to select
   the optimal relay for each peer pair.

1.2.  Redirection for Load Balancing

   At the point when a relay allocation is first established, it can be
   difficult to determine how much aggregate concurrent load could
   eventually be associated with that allocation.  The initiating peer
   could attempt to use that allocation for any number of peer-to-peer
   data flows over an extended period of time, during which time load
   conditions on the relay could change substantially, such that quality
   of service for already established flows would degrade if the relay
   were to accept additional flows.

   Under these conditions, a TURN service provider with multiple relay
   hosts and distributed capacity could improve service quality by
   redirecting data flows to a different host that has more available
   capacity.  At the same time, it is desirable to avoid disrupting
   established data flows by continuing to handle established flows on
   the current relay and only redirecting new flows elsewhere.

2.  Terminology

   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 [RFC2119].

3.  Peer-specific Server Redirect Mechanism

   This specification describes two new uses of the existing STUN
   ALTERNATE-SERVER attribute.  In the first case, the ALTERNATE-SERVER
   attribute is included with either a CreatePermission error response
   or a ChannelBind error response.  In the second case, the ALTERNATE-
   SERVER attribute is included with either a CreatePermission success
   response or a ChannelBind success response.

   This specification also defines two new comprehension-optional STUN
   attributes:  CHECK-ALTERNATE and XOR-OTHER-ADDRESS.  The CHECK-
   ALTERNATE attribute is used by the client to request that the server
   perform peer-specific redirection.  The XOR-OTHER-ADDRESS is used by
   the client to provide an alternate peer address for location
   identification in the event that the XOR-PEER-ADDRESS attribute in
   the CreatePermission or ChannelBind request is not expected to
   reliably serve this purpose.

3.1.  Attribute Usage

   When sending a CreatePermission or a ChannelBind request, the CHECK-
   ALTERNATE STUN attribute allows a TURN client to indicate support for

Williams & Reddy          Expires July 2, 2015                  [Page 5]
Internet-Draft           Peer Redirect for TURN            December 2014

   peer-specific server redirection.  To maintain backward compatibility
   with [RFC5766] compliant TURN servers that do not support peer-
   specific redirection, this attribute is defined as comprehension-
   optional, which allows a TURN server that does not support peer-
   specific redirection to ignore the attribute.  To maintain backward
   compatibility with [RFC5766] compliant TURN clients that do not
   support peer-specific redirection, a TURN server only sends the
   ALTERNATE-SERVER attribute in CreatePermission and ChannelBind
   responses when the CHECK-ALTERNATE STUN attribute was present in the
   request.  This prevents transmission of the ALTERNATE-SERVER
   attribute in cases where the receiving client might not consider the
   usage legitimate.

   The CHECK-ALTERNATE STUN attribute's value indicates the expected
   server response type:  error or success.  This capability to declare
   the expected response type allows TURN client implementers greater
   flexibility during session establishment.  For example, a TURN client
   implementer may wish to maintain the smallest number of permissions
   possible during session establishment in order keep the internal
   client implementation simple, in which case an error response would
   be desirable.  On the other hand, a TURN client implementer may wish
   to optimize for faster session establishment by continuing to use a
   sub-optimal allocation while setting up the new one, in which case a
   success response would be desirable.  This second case could be
   achieved with an error response if the client were to send a second
   request without the CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute, but such an approach
   would require an extra RTT.

   The XOR-OTHER-ADDRESS STUN attribute allows the TURN client to
   provide an alternate peer address that can be used by the server to
   identify the network geographic location of the peer when performing
   the peer-specific redirection check.  Use of this attribute is only
   necessary if the XOR-PEER-ADDRESS already contained in the
   CreatePermission or ChannelBind request does not adequately serve
   this purpose, which should only be true when both peers require a
   TURN relay for end-to-end data flow.  In this case, the TURN
   CreatePermission or ChannelBind request will provide the peer's TURN
   relay address as the XOR-PEER-ADDRESS value.  If the RTT between the
   peer and its TURN relay server is very small, the TURN relay address
   might still be an appropriate address to use for the peer-specific
   redirection check.  As the RTT grows, the TURN relay address will
   become less suitable for this purpose.  For this reason, it is
   generally the case that the peer's public address (i.e. its host or
   reflexive address) is a better indication of its network geographic
   location than its TURN relay address.`

   Even in cases where both peers require a TURN relay, a typical ICE
   protocol implementation will give higher candidate priority to the

Williams & Reddy          Expires July 2, 2015                  [Page 6]
Internet-Draft           Peer Redirect for TURN            December 2014

   peer's host and reflexive addresses, which means that the first
   CreatePermission or ChannelBind request will provide the peer's
   public address as the XOR-PEER-ADDRESS value and no XOR-OTHER-ADDRESS
   attribute is necessary.  However, although ICE recommends this
   priority, it does not require it, and so the first request may
   contain the peer's TURN relay address.  With such an implementation,
   the XOR-OTHER-ADDRESS attribute allows the client to provide the
   peer's reflexive address in a request that populates the XOR-PEER-
   ADDRESS attribute with the peer's relay address.

3.2.  Sending a CreatePermission or ChannelBind Request

   A client that supports peer-specific server redirection and desires
   such redirection to be performed MUST include the CHECK-ALTERNATE
   attribute in the first CreatePermission or ChannelBind request when
   that request is expected to form a new permission or binding.  A
   client MUST NOT include the CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute in a
   CreatePermission or ChannelBind request that is intended to extend
   the lifetime of an existing permission or binding.

   Peer-specific server redirection is only supported for requests that
   include a single XOR-PEER-ADDRESS attribute.  When forming a
   CreatePermission request with multiple XOR-PEER-ADDRESS attributes,
   the client MUST NOT include the CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute.

   When the CreatePermission or ChannelBind request includes the CHECK-
   ALTERNATE attribute, the client MAY also include an XOR-OTHER-ADDRESS
   attribute with a value appropriate for the above described purpose.
   The XOR-OTHER-ADDRESS attribute SHOULD NOT be included in the request
   if its value will be identical to the request's XOR-PEER-ADDRESS
   attribute.

3.2.1.  The CHECK-ALTERNATE Attribute

   When forming a CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute, the STUN Type is TBD-CA.
   This type is in the comprehension-optional range, which means that
   STUN agents can safely ignore the attribute if they do not understand
   it.

   The CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute takes a 1-byte Value, which means that
   the Length is 1 and 3 bytes of padding are required after the Value.
   The format of the Value is:

         0
         0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
        +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
        |E|    RFFU     |
        +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Internet-Draft           Peer Redirect for TURN            December 2014

   The Value contains a single 1-bit flag:

   E: If 1, the server is requested to send a Try Alternate (300) error
      response when redirection is expected.  If 0, the server is
      request to include an ALTERNATE-SERVER attribute in the success
      response for the request.

   The other 7 bits of the attribute's value must be set to zero on
   transmission and ignored on reception.

3.2.2.  The XOR-OTHER-ADDRESS attribute

   When forming an XOR-OTHER-ADDRESS attribute, the STUN Type is TBD-
   XOA.  This type is in the comprehension-optional range, which means
   that STUN agents can safely ignore the attribute if they do not
   understand it.

   The XOR-OTHER-ADDRESS value specifies an address and port suitable
   for identification of the peer's network geographic location.  It is
   encoded in the same way as XOR-MAPPED-ADDRESS [RFC5389].

3.3.  Receiving a CreatePermission or ChannelBind Request

   When a server receives a CreatePermission or ChannelBind request that
   includes a CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute, it processes as per the TURN
   specification [RFC5766] plus the specific rules mentioned here.

   The server checks the following:

   o  If the CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute is not recognized, ignore the
      attribute because its type indicates that it is comprehension-
      optional.  This should be the existing behavior.

   o  If the message is a CreatePermission request with multiple XOR-
      PEER-ADDRESS attributes, ignore the CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute if
      present.

   o  If peer-specific redirection is not supported by the server,
      ignore the attribute.

   o  If the associated permission or binding already exists, ignore the
      attribute.

   If none of the above causes the attribute to be ignored and no other
   cause for sending an error response has been found, the server
   attempts to identify an alternate server that will provide better
   performance for the session based on the criteria supported by the
   TURN service (e.g. optimal data path and/or load balancing).  When an

Williams & Reddy          Expires July 2, 2015                  [Page 8]
Internet-Draft           Peer Redirect for TURN            December 2014

   XOR-OTHER-ADDRESS attribute is found in the request message, the
   server SHOULD use this address for peer location identification.
   Otherwise, the server SHOULD use the address provided in the XOR-
   PEER-ADDRESS attribute.

   If no alternate server is identified, the server replies with a
   success response that does not include an ALTERNATE-SERVER attribute.

   If an alternate server is identified and the client requested an
   error response for redirection, the server rejects the request with a
   300 (Try Alternate) error.  No new permission or binding is generated
   on the server in this case.

   If an alternate server is identified and the client did not request
   an error response for redirection, the server creates the permission
   or binding.  The server then replies to the request with a success
   response, including an ALTERNATE-SERVER attribute in the message.

3.4.  Receiving a CreatePermission or ChannelBind Error Response

   If the client receives a CreatePermission or ChannelBind error
   response with error code 420 (Unknown Attribute) and CHECK-ALTERNATE
   is listed in the UNKNOWN-ATTRIBUTE attribute of the message, the
   client SHOULD retransmit the original request without the CHECK-
   ALTERNATE attribute.  This case is not expected due to the use of a
   comprehension-optional attribute type.

   If the client receives a CreatePermission or ChannelBind error
   response with error code 300 (Try Alternate), the client SHOULD
   attempt to form an allocation to the TURN server indicated in the
   ALTERNATE-SERVER attribute.

   If the alternate server responds to the Allocate request with a
   success response, the client SHOULD attempt to form a new permission
   or binding using the new allocation from the alternate server.  The
   CreatePermission or ChannelBind request to the alternate server MAY
   include a CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute but SHOULD NOT request
   redirection via an error response.  This helps to avoid the
   possibility of redirection loops.

   If the alternate server responds to the Allocate request with an
   error response, the client MAY resend the original CreatePermission
   or ChannelBind request, either without the CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute
   or with a CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute that does not request an error
   response.

   See Section 4 below for discussion of how the client should respond
   when receiving a Try Alternate error response that was not requested.

Internet-Draft           Peer Redirect for TURN            December 2014

3.5.  Receiving a CreatePermission or ChannelBind Success Response

   If the client receives a CreatePermission or ChannelBind success
   response, it proceeds with processing according to the TURN
   specification [RFC5766].  If the message does not include an
   ALTERNATE-SERVER attribute, no additional processing is required.

   If the success response includes an ALTERNATE-SERVER attribute, the
   client SHOULD attempt to form an allocation to the TURN server
   indicated in the ALTERNATE-SERVER attribute.

   If the alternate server responds to the Allocate request with a
   success response, the client SHOULD attempt to form a new permission
   or binding using the new allocation from the alternate server.  The
   CreatePermission or ChannelBind request to the alternate server MAY
   include a CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute with either attribute value.  If
   this is done, care should be taken in the client implementation to
   recognize and avoid redirection loops.

   While waiting for the new allocation and permission or binding to
   form via the indicated alternate server, the client SHOULD use the
   original permission or binding from the request that included the
   CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute.  In this way, peer-specific redirection
   without an error response can be considered a "hint" that allows the
   client to establish an alternate path and test its quality before
   switching to it.

   See Section 4 below for discussion of how the client should respond
   when receiving an ALTERNATE-SERVER attribute that was not requested.

4.  Security Considerations

   This section considers attacks that are possible in a TURN deployment
   through the specified protocol extension, and discusses how they are
   mitigated by mechanisms in the protocol or recommended practices in
   the implementation.

   The specified mechanism affects the use of TURN CreatePermission
   request messages, ChannelBind request messages, and their respective
   success and error response messages.  Each of these TURN message
   types requires the MESSAGE-INTEGRITY STUN attribute, which limits
   attacks that attempt to make use of the specified mechanism to
   authenticated clients and servers.

4.1.  CHECK-ALTERNATE Flood

   A compromised TURN client could send a large number of
   CreatePermission or ChannelBind request messages, which would drive
   increased load on the TURN server.  The CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute
   does not make such an attack more likely, though it could make it
   possible to increase the impact of such an attack due to the
   additional load associated with determining whether an alternate
   server should be used by the client.  The TURN server MAY be
   configured to ignore the CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute under some
   conditions in order to limit the associated load.  The conditions
   under which it is appropriate for a TURN server to ignore the CHECK-
   ALTERNATE attribute are implementation dependent.

4.2.  Unsolicited or Invalid ALTERNATE-SERVER

   A compromised TURN server could send the "Try Alternate" error code
   in response to a request message that did not contain the CHECK-
   ALTERNATE attribute or where the value of the attribute did not
   request an error response.  For client connectivity, this is no worse
   than any other error response code that could be sent.  No matter
   what the error response code may be, the client is unable to relay
   data to the remote peer.  The client MUST ignore the ALTERNATE-SERVER
   attribute in error responses when the CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute was
   not included in the associated request.  The client SHOULD ignore the
   ALTERNATE-SERVER attribute in error responses when the CHECK-
   ALTERNATE attribute was included in the associated request if the
   attribute value did not request an error response.  The client MAY
   discontinue use of the associated TURN allocation when an unsolicited
   Try Alternate error is received.

   A compromised TURN server could send an ALTERNATE-SERVER attribute in
   a success response message for a request message that did not contain
   the CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute.  The client MUST ignore the ALTERNATE-
   SERVER attribute in success responses when the CHECK-ALTERNATE
   attribute was not included in the associated request message.  The
   client SHOULD ignore the ALTERNATE-SERVER attribute in success
   responses when the CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute was included in the
   associated request if the attribute value requested an error
   response.  The client MAY discontinue use of the associated TURN
   allocation when an unsolicited ALTERNATE-SERVER attribute is
   received.

   A compromised TURN server could send an invalid ALTERNATE-SERVER
   attribute value in either an error or a success response message,
   where the value refers to an unaffiliated TURN server to which the
   sending TURN server is not allowed to redirect traffic.  Such an
   attack is already allowed by the use of Try Alternate errors in

   response to Allocate request messages.  Use of the ALTERNATE-SERVER
   attribute in the context of peer-specific redirection does not make
   such an attack more likely, though it could make it possible to
   increase the scale of such an attack by allowing multiple ALTERNATE-
   SERVER attributes to each client, one per requested permission or
   binding.  A client SHOULD ignore all future ALTERNATE-SERVER
   attributes received from the TURN server after an authentication
   failure with any server identified via an ALTERNATE-SERVER attribute.
   A client MAY discontinue use of the associated TURN allocation after
   an authentication failure with any server identified via an
   ALTERNATE-SERVER attribute.

5.  IANA Considerations

   [Paragraphs below in braces should be removed by the RFC Editor upon
   publication]

   [The CHECK-ALTERNATE attribute requires that IANA allocate a value in
   the "STUN attributes Registry" from the comprehension-optional range
   (0x8000-0xFFFF), to be replaced for TBD-CA throughout this document]

   This document defines the CHECK-ALTERNATE STUN attribute, described
   in Section 3.2.1.  IANA has allocated the comprehension-optional
   codepoint TBD-CA for this attribute.

   [The XOR-OTHER-ADDRESS attribute requires that IANA allocate a value
   in the "STUN attributes Registry" from the comprehension-optional
   range (0x8000-0xFFFF), to be replaced for TBD-XOA throughout this
   document]

   This document defines the XOR-OTHER-ADDRESS STUN attribute, described
   in Section 3.2.2.  IANA has allocated the comprehension-optional
   codepoint TBD-XOA for this attribute.
