INTERNET-DRAFT Linklocal Multicast DNS 21 December 2001 1. Introduction Linklocal Multicast DNS (LMDNS) enables name resolution in the scenarios when conventional DNS name resolution is not possible. Namely, when there are no DNS servers available on the network or available DNS servers do not provide name resolution for the names of the hosts on the local network. The latter case, for example, corresponds to a scenario when a network that doesn't have a DNS server is connected to the Internet through an ISP and the network hosts are configured with the ISP's DNS server for the name resolution. The ISP's DNS server provides the name resolution for the names registered on the Internet, but doesn't provide name resolution for the names of the hosts on the network. This document discusses Linklocal Multicast DNS (LMDNS), which operates on a separate port from DNS, with a distinct resolver cache, but does not change the format of DNS packets. Service discovery in general, as well as discovery of DNS servers using LMDNS in particular is outside of the scope of this document, as is name resolution over non-multicast capable media. In this document, the key words "MAY", "MUST, "MUST NOT", "OPTIONAL", "RECOMMENDED", "SHOULD", and "SHOULD NOT", are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. 2. Name resolution using LMDNS While operating on a different port with a distinct resolver cache, LMDNS makes no change to the current format of DNS packets. Linklocal multicast DNS queries are sent to and received on port 5353 using a LINKLOCAL address as specified in "Administratively Scoped IP Multicast" [RFC2365] for IPv4 and the "solicited name" LINKLOCAL multicast addresses for IPv6. The LMDNS LINKLOCAL address to be used for IPv4 is 224.0.0.251. LINKLOCAL addresses are used to prevent propagation of LMDNS traffic across routers, potentially flooding the network. Propagation of multicast DNS packets on the local link is considered sufficient to enable name resolution in small adhoc networks. The assumption is that if a network has a router, then the network either has a DNS server or the router can function as a DNS proxy. By implementing DHCPv4 as well as a DNS proxy and dynamic DNS, routers can provide name resolution for the names of IPv4 hosts on the local network. Where the DNS proxy supports AAAA RRs, resolution for the names of dual stack IPv6 hosts on the local network can also be provided using Esibov, Aboba & Thaler Standards Track [Page 3]
INTERNET-DRAFT Linklocal Multicast DNS 21 December 2001 this mechanism. Within small adhoc IPv6 networks, stateful autoconfiguration is the most likely configuration mechanism. If DHCPv6 is not present, then in order to support resolution of names of IPv6-only hosts on the local network, the DNS proxy will need to support dynamic client update as well as DNS over IPv6. Given the above mechanisms enabling DNS name resolution in small networks with a router, it is assumed that LMDNS need not be enabled by default. In the future, multicast DNS may be defined to support greater than LINKLOCAL multicast scope. This would occur if LMDNS deployment is successful, the assumption that multicast DNS is not needed on multiple links proves incorrect, and multicast routing becomes ubiquitous. For example, it is not clear that this assumption will be valid in large adhoc networking scenarios. Once we have experience in LMDNS deployment in terms of administrative issues, usability and impact on the network it will be possible reevaluate which multicast scopes are appropriate for use with multicast DNS. 2.1. Behavior of the sender and responder For the purpose of this document a host that sends a multicast query is called a "sender", while a host that listens to (but not necessarily responds to) a multicast query is called "responder". A host configured to be a "responder" MAY also be a "sender". A host configured not to be "responder" SHOULD NOT be a "sender". While hosts configured only as senders can detect name conflicts, they cannot notify other senders of potential conflicts for their name. Thus, implementation of both responder and sender functionality is encouraged. 2.1.1. Behavior of senders A sender sends an LMDNS query for any legal Type of resource record (e.g. A, PTR, etc.) to the LINKLOCAL address. The RD (Recursion Desired) bit MUST NOT be set. If a responder receives a query with the header containing RD set bit, the responder MUST ignore the RD bit. The IPv6 LINKLOCAL address a given responder listens to, and to which a sender sends, is a link-local multicast address formed as follows: The name of the resource record in question is expressed in its canonical form (see [RFC2535], section 8.1), which is uncompressed with all alphabetic characters in lower case. The first label of the resource record name is then hashed using the MD5 algorithm, described in Esibov, Aboba & Thaler Standards Track [Page 4]
INTERNET-DRAFT Linklocal Multicast DNS 21 December 2001 [RFC1321]. The first 32 bits of the resultant 128-bit hash is then appended to the prefix FF02:0:0:0:0:2::/96 to yield the 128-bit "solicited name multicast address". (Note: this procedure is intended to be the same as that specified in section 3 of "IPv6 Node Information Queries" [NodeInfo]). A responder that listens for queries for multiple names will necessarily listen to multiple of these solicited name multicast addresses. If the multicast query is not resolved during a limited amount of time (LMDNS_TIMEOUT), then a sender MAY repeat the transmission of a query in order to assure themselves that the query has been received by a host capable of responding to the query. Repetition MUST NOT be attempted more than 3 times and SHOULD NOT be repeated more often than once per second to reduce unnecessary network traffic. The delay between attempts should be randomized so as to avoid synchronization effects. 2.1.2. Behavior of responders An LMDNS responder listens on port 5353 on the LINKLOCAL address. Responders MUST respond to multicast queries to those and only those names for which they are authoritative. As an example, computer "host.example.com." is authoritative for the domain "host.example.com.". On receiving a linklocal multicast DNS A record query for the name "host.example.com." such a host responds with A record(s) that contain IP address(es) in the RDATA of the record. In conventional DNS terminology a DNS server authoritative for a zone is authoritative for all the domain names under the zone root except for the branches delegated into separate zones. Contrary to conventional DNS terminology, a responder is authoritative only for the zone root. For example the host "host.example.com." is not authoritative for the name "child.host.example.com." unless the host is configured with multiple names, including "host.example.com." and "child.host.example.com.". The purpose of limiting the name authority scope of a responder is to prevent complications that could be caused by coexistence of two or more hosts with the names representing child and parent (or grandparent) nodes in the DNS tree, for example, "host.example.com." and "child.host.example.com.". In this example (unless this limitation is introduced) a multicast query for an A record for the name "child.host.example.com." would result in two authoritative responses: name error received from "host.example.com.", and a requested A record - from "child.host.example.com.". To prevent this ambiguity, multicast enabled hosts could perform a dynamic update of the parent (or grandparent) zone with a delegation to a child zone. In this example a host Esibov, Aboba & Thaler Standards Track [Page 5]
INTERNET-DRAFT Linklocal Multicast DNS 21 December 2001 "child.host.example.com." would send a dynamic update for the NS and glue A record to "host.example.com.", but this approach significantly complicates implementation of multicast DNS and would not be acceptable for lightweight hosts. A response to a multicast query is composed in exactly the same manner as a response to the unicast DNS query as specified in [RFC1035]. Responders MUST never respond using cached data, and the AA (Authoritative Answer) bit MUST be set. The response is sent to the sender via unicast. A response to an LMDNS query MUST have RCODE set to zero. Responses with RCODE set to zero are referred to in this document as "positively resolved". LMDNS responders may respond only to queries which they can resolve positively. If a TC (truncation) bit is set in the response, then the sender MAY use the response if it contains all necessary information, or the sender MAY discard the response and resend the query over TCP or using EDNS0 with larger window using the unicast address of the responder. The RA (Recursion Available) bit in the header of the response MUST NOT be set. Even if the RA bit is set in the response header, the sender MUST ignore it. 2.1.3. LMDNS addressing For IPv4 LINKLOCAL addressing, section 2.4 of "Dynamic Configuration of IPv4 Link-Local Addresses" [IPV4Link] lays out the rules with respect to source address selection, TTL settings, and acceptable source/destination address combinations. IPv6 is described in [RFC2460]; IPv6 LINKLOCAL addressing is described in [RFC2373]. LMDNS queries and responses MUST obey the rules laid out in these documents. In composing an LMDNS response, the responder MUST set the Hop Limit field in the IPv6 header and the TTL field in IPv4 header of the LMDNS response to 255. The sender MUST verify that the Hop Limit field in IPv6 header and TTL field in IPv4 header of each response to the LMDNS query is set to 255. If it is not, then sender MUST ignore the response. Implementation note: In the sockets API for IPv4, the IP_TTL and IP_MULTICAST_TTL socket options are used to specify the TTL of outgoing unicast and multicast packets. The IP_RECVTTL socket option is available on some platforms to receive the IPv4 TTL of received packets with recvmsg(). [RFC2292] specifies similar options for specifying and receiving the IPv6 Hop Limit. Esibov, Aboba & Thaler Standards Track [Page 6]
INTERNET-DRAFT Linklocal Multicast DNS 21 December 2001 2.1.4. Use of DNS TTL The responder should use a pre-configured TTL value in the records returned in the LMDNS query response. Due to the TTL minimalization necessary when caching an RRset, all TTLs in an RRset MUST be set to the same value. In the additional and authority section of the response the responder includes the same records as a DNS server would insert in the response to the unicast DNS query. 2.1.5. No/multiple responses The sender MUST anticipate receiving no replies to some multicast queries, in the event that no responders are available within the linklocal multicast scope, or in the event that no positive non-null responses exist for the transmitted query. If no positive response is received, a resolver treats it as a response that no records of the specified type and class for the specified name exist (NXRRSET). The sender MUST anticipate receiving multiple replies to the same linklocal multicast query, in the event that several linklocal multicast DNS enabled computers receive the query and respond with valid answers. When this occurs, the responses MAY first be concatenated, and then treated in the same manner that multiple RRs received from the same DNS server would, ordinarily. However, after receiving an initial response, the sender is not required to wait for LMDNS_TIMEOUT for additional responses. 3. Usage model A host configured to be an LMDNS "responder" MUST also be configured as a "sender". A host not configured as a "responder" MUST NOT be a "sender". An LMDNS "sender" MAY multicast requests for any name. If that name is not qualified and does not end in a trailing dot, for the purposes of LMDNS, the implicit search order is as follows: [1] Request the name with the current domain appended. [2] Request just the name. This is the behavior suggested by [RFC1536]. LMDNS uses this technique to resolve unqualified host names. If a DNS server is running on a host that supports LMDNS, the DNS server MUST respond to LMDNS queries only for the RRSets owned by the host on which the server is running, but MUST NOT respond for the records for which the server is authoritative. Esibov, Aboba & Thaler Standards Track [Page 7]
INTERNET-DRAFT Linklocal Multicast DNS 21 December 2001 3.1. LMDNS configuration LMDNS usage can be configured manually or automatically. On interfaces where no manual or automatic configuration has been performed for a given protocol (IPv4 or IPv6), LMDNS SHOULD be enabled by default for that protocol. For IPv6, the stateless DNS discovery mechanisms described in "IPv6 Stateless DNS Discovery" [DNSDisc] can be used to discover whether linklocal multicast DNS should be enabled or disabled on a per-interface basis. Where DHCPv4 or DHCPv6 is implemented, DHCP options can be used to configure multicast DNS on an interface. The Multicast DNS Enable Option, described in [mDNSEnable], can be used to explicitly enable or disable use of linklocal multicast DNS on an interface for a given protocol, as well as to specify the order in which DNS and LMDNS is used on that interface. The Multicast DNS Enable Option affects only DNS resolver behavior, that is, how DNS resolution is performed, and whether LMDNS is used. The Multicast DNS Enable Option does not determine whether or in which order DNS itself is used for name resolution. This can be specified, for example, using the Name Service Search Option for DHCP, [RFC2937], which can be used to globally determine where DNS is used within the name service search order. If an interface has been configured for a given protocol via any automatic configuration mechanism which is able to supply DNS configuration information, then LMDNS SHOULD NOT be used on that interface for that protocol unless it has been explicitly enabled, whether via that mechanism or any other. This ensures that upgraded hosts do not change their default behavior, without requiring the source of the configuration information to be simultaneously updated. This implies that on the interface, the host will neither listen on the DNS LINKLOCAL multicast address, nor will it send queries to that address. Note that it is possible for LMDNS to be enabled for use with IPv6 at the same time it is disabled for IPv4, and vice versa. For example, where a home gateway implements a DNS proxy and DHCPv4, but not DHCPv6 or DNS autoconfiguration, there may be no mechanism for allowing IPv6 hosts to resolve the names of other IPv6 hosts on the home network. In this situation, LMDNS is useful for resolution of dynamic names, and it will be enabled for use with IPv6, even though it is disabled for use with IPv4. Esibov, Aboba & Thaler Standards Track [Page 8]
INTERNET-DRAFT Linklocal Multicast DNS 21 December 2001 4. Sequence of events The sequence of events for LMDNS usage is as follows: 1. If a sender needs to resolve a query for a name "host.example.com", then it sends a multicast query to the LINKLOCAL multicast address. 2. A responder responds to this query only if it is authoritative for the domain name "host.example.com". The responder sends a response to the sender via unicast over UDP. 3. Upon the reception of the response, the sender verifies that the Hop Limit field in IPv6 header or TTL field in IPv4 header (depending on the protocol used) of the response is set to 255. The sender then verifies compliance with the addressing requirements for IPv4, described in [IPV4Link], and IPv6, described in [RFC2373]. If these conditions are met, then the sender uses and caches the returned response. If not, then the sender ignores the response and continues waiting for the response. 5. Conflict resolution There are some scenarios when multiple responders MAY respond to the same query. There are other scenarios when only one responder may respond to a query. Resource records for which the latter queries are submitted are referred as UNIQUE throughout this document. The uniqueness of a resource record depends on a nature of the name in the query and type of the query. For example it is expected that: - multiple hosts may respond to a query for a SRV type record - multiple hosts may respond to a query for an A type record for a cluster name (assigned to multiple hosts in the cluster) - only a single host may respond to a query for an A type record for a hostname. Every responder that responds to a linklocal multicast DNS query and/or dynamic update request AND includes a UNIQUE record in the response: 1. MUST verify that there is no other host within the scope of the LMDNS query propagation that can return a DNS record for the same name, type and class. 2. MUST NOT include a UNIQUE resource record in the response without having verified its uniqueness. Where a host is configured to respond to linklocal multicast DNS queries on more than one interface, the host MUST verify resource record uniqueness on each interface for each UNIQUE resource record that could Esibov, Aboba & Thaler Standards Track [Page 9]
INTERNET-DRAFT Linklocal Multicast DNS 21 December 2001 be used on that interface. To accomplish this, the host MUST multicast a dynamic DNS update request as specified in [RFC2136] for each new UNIQUE resource record. Uniqueness verification is carried out when the host: - starts up or - is configured to respond to the linklocal multicast DNS queries on some interface or - is configured to respond to the linklocal multicast DNS queries using additional UNIQUE DNS records. Below we describe the data to be specified in the dynamic update request: Header section contains values according to [RFC2136]. Zone section The zone name in the zone section MUST be set to the name of the UNIQUE record. The zone type in the zone section MUST be set to SOA. The zone class in the zone section MUST be set to the class of the UNIQUE record. Prerequisite section This section MUST contain a record set whose semantics are described in [RFC2136], Section 2.4.3 "RRset Does Not Exist", requesting that RRs with the NAME and TYPE of the UNIQUE record do not exist. Update section This section MUST be left empty. Additional section This section is set according to [RFC2136]. When a host that owns a UNIQUE record receives a dynamic update request that requests that the UNIQUE resource record set does not exist, the host MUST respond via unicast with the YXRRSET error, according to the rules described in Section 3 of [RFC2136]. After the client receives an YXRRSET response to its dynamic update request stating that a UNIQUE resource record does not exist, the host MUST check whether the response arrived on another interface. If this is the case, then the client can use the UNIQUE resource record in response to multicast queries and dynamic update requests. If not, then it MUST NOT use the UNIQUE resource record in response to linklocal multicast queries and dynamic update requests. Esibov, Aboba & Thaler Standards Track [Page 10]
INTERNET-DRAFT Linklocal Multicast DNS 21 December 2001 Note that this name conflict detection mechanism doesn't prevent name conflicts when previously partitioned segments are connected by a bridge. In such a situation, name conflicts are detected when a sender receives more than one response to its linklocal multicast DNS query. In this case, the sender sends the first response that it received to all responders that responded to this query except the first one, using unicast. A host that receives a query response containing a UNIQUE resource record that it owns, even if it didn't send such a query, MUST verify that no other host within the linklocal multicast DNS scope is authoritative for the same name, using the dynamic DNS update request mechanism described above. Based on the result, the host detects whether there is a name conflict and acts as described above. 5.1. Considerations for Multiple Interfaces A multi-homed host may elect to configure LMDNS on only one of its active interfaces. In many situations this will be adequate. However, should a host wish to configure LMDNS on more than one of its active interfaces, there are some additional precautions it MUST take. Implementers who are not planning to support linklocal multicast DNS on multiple interfaces simultaneously may skip this section. A multi-homed host checks the uniqueness of UNIQUE records as described in Section 5. The situation is illustrated in figure 1 below: ---------- ---------- | | | | [A] [myhost] [myhost] Figure 1. LINKLOCAL name conflict In this situation, the multi-homed myhost will probe for, and defend, its host name on both interfaces. A conflict will be detected on one interface, but not the other. The multi-homed myhost will not be able to respond with a host RR for "myhost" on the interface on the right (see Figure 1). The multi-homed host may, however, be configured to use the "myhost" name on the interface on the left. Esibov, Aboba & Thaler Standards Track [Page 11]
INTERNET-DRAFT Linklocal Multicast DNS 21 December 2001 Since names are only unique per-link, hosts on different links could be using the same name. If an LMDNS client sends requests over multiple interfaces, and receives replies from more than one, the result returned to the client is defined by the implementation. The situation is illustrated in figure 2 below. ---------- ---------- | | | | [A] [myhost] [A] Figure 2. Off-segment name conflict If host myhost is configured to use LMDNS on both interfaces, it will send LMDNS queries on both interfaces. When host myhost sends a query for the host RR for name "A" it will receive a response from hosts on both interfaces. Host myhost will then forward a response from the first responder to the second responder, who will attempt to verify the uniqueness of host RR for its name, but will not discover a conflict, since the conflicting host resides on a different link. Therefore it will continue using its name. Indeed, host myhost cannot distinguish between the situation shown in Figure 2, and that shown in Figure 3 where no conflict exists: [A] | | ----- ----- | | [myhost] Figure 3. Multiple paths to same host This illustrates that the proposed name conflict resolution mechanism does not support detection or resolution of conflicts between hosts on different links. This problem can also occur with unicast DNS when a multi-homed host is connected to two different networks with separated name spaces. It is not the intent of this document to address the issue of uniqueness of names within DNS. 5.2. API issues [RFC2553] provides an API which can partially solve the name ambiguity problem for applications written to use this API, since the sockaddr_in6 structure exposes the scope within which each scoped address exists, and this structure can be used for both IPv4 (using v4-mapped IPv6 Esibov, Aboba & Thaler Standards Track [Page 12]
INTERNET-DRAFT Linklocal Multicast DNS 21 December 2001 addresses) and IPv6 addresses. Following the example in Figure 2, an application on 'myhost' issues the request getaddrinfo("A", ...) with ai_family=AF_INET6 and ai_flags=AI_ALL|AI_V4MAPPED. LMDNS requests will be sent from both interfaces and the resolver library will return a list containing multiple addrinfo structures, each with an associated sockaddr_in6 structure. This list will thus contain the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of both hosts responding to the name 'A'. Link-local addresses will have a sin6_scope_id value that disambiguates which interface is used to reach the address. Of course, to the application, Figures 2 and 3 are still indistinguishable, but this API allows the application to communicate successfully with any address in the list. 6. Security Considerations This draft does not prescribe a means of securing the LMDNS mechanism. It is possible that hosts will allocate conflicting names for a period of time, or that non-conforming hosts will attempt to deny service to other hosts by allocating the same name. Such attacks also allow nodes to receive packets destined for other nodes. The protocol reduces the exposure to such threats in the absence of authentication by ignoring LMDNS query response packets received from off-link senders. In order to prevent responses to LMDNS queries from polluting the DNS cache, LMDNS implementations MUST use a distinct, isolated cache for LMDNS. In all received responses, the Hop Limit field in IPv6 and the TTL field in IPv4 are verified to contain 255, the maximum legal value. Since routers decrement the Hop Limit on all packets they forward, received packets containing a Hop Limit of 255 must have originated from a neighbor. These threats are most serious in wireless networks such as 802.11, since attackers on a wired network will require physical access to the home network, while wireless attackers may reside outside the home. Link-layer security will serve to secure LMDNS against the above threats if it is available. For example, where 802.11 "Wired Equivalency Privacy" (WEP) [IEEE80211] is implemented, a casual attacker is likely to be deterred from gaining access to the home network. The mechanism specified in this draft does not require use of DNSSEC. As a result, responses to LMDNS queries MAY NOT be authenticated. If authentication is desired, and a pre-arranged security configuration is possible, then IPsec ESP with a null-transform MAY be used to authenticate LMDNS responses. In a small network without a certificate authority, this can be most easily accomplished through configuration of Esibov, Aboba & Thaler Standards Track [Page 13]

IANA Considerations This specification does not create any new name spaces for IANA administration. Since it uses a port (5353) and link scope multicast IPv4 address (224.0.0.251) previously allocated for use with LMDNS, no additional IANA allocations are required. 8.
