    RADIUS Attribute for Softwire Address plus Port based Mechanisms
                   draft-ietf-softwire-map-radius-09

Abstract

   IPv4-over-IPv6 transition mechanisms provide both IPv4 and IPv6
   connectivity services simultaneously during the IPv4/IPv6 co-existing
   period.  The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6)
   options have been defined to configure Customer Edge (CE) in MAP-E,
   MAP-T, and Lightweight 4over6.  However, in many networks, the
   configuration information may be stored in the Authentication
   Authorization and Accounting (AAA) servers, while user configuration
   is mainly provided by the Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) through the
   DHCPv6 protocol.  This document defines a Remote Authentication Dial
   In User Service (RADIUS) attribute that carries CE configuration
   information from the AAA server to the BNG.

1.  Introduction

   Recently providers have started to deploy IPv6 and consider how to
   transit to IPv6.  Many transition mechanisms based on the Address
   plus Port (A+P) [RFC6346] have been proposed for running IPv4 over
   IPv6-only infrastructure, including MAP-E, MAP-T, and Lightweight
   4over6.  Mapping of Address and Port with Encapsulation(MAP-
   E)[RFC7597], Mapping of Address and Port with using Translation(MAP-
   T)[RFC7599] are stateless mechanisms for running IPv4 over IPv6-only
   infrastructure.  Lightweight 4over6[RFC7596] is a hub-and-spoke IPv4-
   over-IPv6 tunneling mechanism, with complete independence of IPv4 and
   IPv6 addressing.  They provide both IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity
   services simultaneously during the IPv4/IPv6 co-existing period.
   MAP-E, MAP-T and Lightweight 4over6 have adopted Dynamic Host
   Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) [RFC3315] as auto-
   configuring protocol.  The Customer Edge (CE) uses DHCPv6 options to
   discover the Border Relay (BR) and get Softwire46 (S46)
   configurations.

   In many networks, user configuration information may be stored in the
   Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) servers.  Current
   the AAA servers communicate using the Remote Authentication Dial In
   User Service (RADIUS) [RFC2865] protocol.  In a fixed line broadband
   network, the Broadband Network Gateways (BNGs) act as the access
   gateway of users.  The BNGs are assumed to embed a DHCPv6 server
   function that allows them to locally handle any DHCPv6 requests
   initiated by hosts.

   Since the S46 configuration information is stored in the AAA servers
   and user configuration is mainly transmitted through DHCPv6 protocol
   between the BNGs and hosts/CEs, new RADIUS attributes are needed to
   propagate the information from the AAA servers to the BNGs.  The
   RADIUS attributes designed in this document are especially for the
   MAP-E[RFC7597], MAP-T[RFC7599] and Lightweight 4over6[RFC7596],
   providing enough information to form the correspondent DHCPv6
   configuration options[RFC7598].

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.  Configuration process with RADIUS

   The below Figure 1 illustrates how the RADIUS protocol and DHCPv6 co-
   operate to provide CE with MAP configuration information.  The BNG
   acts as a RADIUS client and as a DHCPv6 server.

    Figure 1: the cooperation between DHCPv6 and RADIUS combining with
                           RADIUS authentication

   1.  First, the CE MAY initiate a DHCPv6 Solicit message that includes
   an Option Request option(6) [RFC3315] with the S46 Container options
   as defined in[RFC7598].  OPTION_S46_CONT_MAPE should be included for
   MAP-E[RFC7597], OPTION_S46_CONT_MAPT for MAP-T[RFC7599], and
   OPTION_S46_CONT_LW for Lightweight 4over6[RFC7596].  Note however,
   that the ORO (Option Request option) with the S46 Container option
   code could be optional if the network was planned as S46-enabled as
   default.

   2.  When the BNG receives the SOLICIT, it should initiate the radius
   Access-Request message, in which the User-Name attribute (1) should
   be filled by the CE MAC address or interface-id or both, to the
   RADIUS server and the User-password attribute (2) should be filled by
   the shared password that has been preconfigured on the DHCPv6 server,
   requesting authentication as defined in [RFC2865] with the
   corresponding Softwire46-Configuration Attribute, which will be
   defined in the next Section.

   3.  If the authentication request is approved by the AAA server, an
   Access-Accept message MUST be acknowledged with the corresponding
   Softwire46-Configuration Attribute.

   4.  After receiving the Access-Accept message with the corresponding
   Attribute, the BNG SHOULD respond to the CE with an Advertisement
   message.

   5.  After receiving the Advertise message, the CE MAY request for the
   corresponding S46 Container option, by including the S46 Container
   option in the Request Message.

   6.  After receiving the client's Request messsage, containing the
   corresponding S46 Container option the BNG SHOULD reply to the CE
   with the message containing the S46 Container option.  The
   recommended format of the MAC address is defined as Calling-Station-
   Id (Section 3.20 in [RFC3580] without the SSID (Service Set
   Identifier) portion.

   For Lightweight 4over6 [RFC7596], the subscriber's binding state
   should be synchronized between the AAA server and the lwAFTR.  If the
   bindings are pre-configured statically, in both the AAA server and
   the lwAFTR, the AAA server does not need to configure the lwAFTR
   anymore.  Otherwise, if the bindings are locally created on-demand in
   the AAA server, it should inform the lwAFTR with the subscriber's
   binding state, in order to synchronise the binding information of the
   lwB4 with the lwAFTR.

   The authorization operation could also be done independently after
   the authentication process.  In such a scenario, after the
   authentication operation, the client MAY initiate a DHCPv6 Request
   message that includes the corresponding S46 Container options.
   Similar to the above scenario, the ORO with the corresponding S46
   Container option code in the initial DHCPv6 request could be optional
   if the network was planned as being S46-enabled vy default.  When the
   BNG receives the DHCPv6 Request, it SHOULD initiate the radius
   Access-Request message, which MUST contain a Service-Type attribute
   (6) with the value Authorize Only (17), the corresponding
   Softwire46-Configuration Attribute, and a State attribute obtained
   from the previous authentication process according to [RFC5080].  If
   the authorization request is approved by the AAA server, an Access-
   Accept message MUST be acknowledged with the corresponding
   Softwire46-Configuration Attribute.  The BNG SHOULD then send the
   DHCPv6 Reply message containing the S46 Container option.

   In both the above-mentioned scenarios, Message-authenticator (type
   80) [RFC2869] SHOULD be used to protect both Access-Request and
   Access-Accept messages.

   If the BNG does not receive the corresponding MAP-Configuration
   Attribute in the Access-Accept it MAY fallback to a pre-configured
   default S46 configuration, if any.  If the BNG does not have any pre-
   configured default S46 configuration, or if the BNG receives an
   Access-Reject, then S46 cannot be established.

   As specified in [RFC3315], section 18.1.4, "Creation and Transmission
   of Rebind Messages ", if the DHCPv6 server to which the DHCPv6 Renew
   message was sent at time T1 has not responded by time T2, the CE
   (DHCPv6 client) SHOULD enter the Rebind state and attempt to contact
   any available server.  In this situation, the secondary BNG receiving
   the DHCPv6 message MUST initiate a new Access-Request towards the AAA
   server.  The secondary BNG MAY include the MAP-Configuration
   Attribute in its Access-Request.

4.  Attributes

   This section defines the Softwire46-Configuration Attribute and the
   Softwire46-Priority Attribute.  The attribute design follows
   [RFC6158] and refers to [RFC6929].  The Softwire46-Configuration
   Attribute carries the configuration information for MAP-E, MAP-T, and
   Lightweight 4over6.  The configuration information for each S46
   mechanism is carried in the corresponding S46 Container option.
   Different sub options are required for each type of S46 Container
   option.  The RADIUS attribute for Dual-Stack Lite [RFC6333] is
   defined in [RFC6519].

   A client may be capable of supporting several different S46
   mechanisms.  Depending on the deployment scenario, a client might
   request for more than one S46 mechanism at a time.  The
   Softwire46-Priority Attribute contains information allowing the
   client to prioritize which mechanism to use, corresponding to
   OPTION_S46_PRIORITY defined in [RFC8026].

4.1.  Softwire46-Configuration Attribute

   The Softwire46-Configuration Attribute is structured as follows:

5.  Diameter Considerations

   S46 Configuration using Diameter [RFC6733] is specified in [RFC7678].

6.  IANA Considerations

   This document requires the assignment of two new RADIUS Attributes
   Type in the "Radius Types" registry (currently located at
   http://www.iana.org/assignments/radius-types for the following
   attributes:

   o  Softwire46-Configuration Attribute TBD1

   o  Softwire46-Priority Attribute TBD2

   IANA should allocate the numbers from the standard RADIUS Attributes
   space using the "IETF Review" policy [RFC5226].

7.  Security Considerations

   Known security vulnerabilities of the RADIUS protocol are discussed
   in [RFC2607], [RFC2865], and[RFC2869].  Use of IPsec [RFC4301] for
   providing security when RADIUS is carried in IPv6 is discussed in
   [RFC3162].

   A malicious user may use MAC address spoofing on the shared password
   that has been preconfigured on the DHCPv6 server to get unauthorized
   configuration information.

   Security considerations for MAP specific between the MAP CE and the
   BNG are discussed in [RFC7597].  Security considerations for
   Lightweight 4over6 are discussed in [RFC7596].  Security
   considerations for DHCPv6-Based S46 Prioritization Mechanism are
   discussed in [RFC8026].  Furthermore, generic DHCPv6 security
   mechanisms can be applied DHCPv6 intercommunication between the CE
   and the BNG.

   Security considerations for the Diameter protocol are discussed in
   [RFC6733].
