                Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility

Abstract

 This document defines a binding revocation mechanism to terminate a
 mobile node's mobility session and the associated resources.  This
 mechanism can be used both with base Mobile IPv6 and its extensions,
 such as Proxy Mobile IPv6.  The mechanism allows the mobility entity
 which initiates the revocation procedure to request its peer to
 terminate either one, multiple or all specified Binding Cache
 entries.

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

1. Introduction

 In the case of Mobile IPv6 and for administrative reasons, sometimes
 it becomes necessary to inform the mobile node that its registration
 has been revoked and the mobile node is no longer able to receive IP
 mobility service for its Home Address.  A similar Mobile IPv4
 registration revocation mechanism [RFC3543] has been specified by the
 IETF for providing a revocation mechanism for sessions that were
 established using Mobile IPv4 registration [RFC3344].
 This document specifies a binding revocation mechanism that can be
 used to revoke a mobile node's mobility session(s).  The same
 mechanism can be used to revoke bindings created using Mobile IPv6
 [RFC3775] or any of its extensions, e.g., Proxy Mobile IPv6
 [RFC5213].  The proposed revocation mechanism uses a new Mobility
 Header (MH) type 16 for revocation signaling that is applicable to
 Mobile IPv6 [RFC3775] and Proxy Mobile IPv6 [RFC5213] and can be used
 by any two IP mobility entities.  As an example, this mechanism
 allows a local mobility anchor (LMA), involved in providing IP
 mobility services to a mobile node, to notify the mobile access
 gateway (MAG) of the termination of that mobile node binding
 registration.  In another example, a mobile access gateway can use
 this mechanism to notify its local mobility anchor peer with a bulk
 termination of all or a subset of proxy mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) bindings
 that are registered with the local mobility anchor and currently
 being served by the mobile access gateway.  Any mobility entity is
 allowed to revoke only the registration of those mobile node(s)
 mobility sessions that are currently registered with it.

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

 Initiator
    The mobility node that initiates the binding revocation procedure
    by sending a Binding Revocation Indication message to its peer,
    e.g., home agent, local mobility anchor, or mobile access gateway.
 Responder
    The mobility node that receives the Binding Revocation Indication
    message and responds with a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement
    message, e.g., mobile node, mobile access gateway, or local
    mobility anchor.

3. Binding Revocation Protocol and Use Cases Overview

 This specification specifies a generic binding revocation mechanism
 where a mobility node can communicate to the mobile node or another
 mobility node the identity of the mobile node registration binding
 that is being terminated.  In the case when this mechanism is used
 for bulk termination or multiple bindings, the identities of these
 bindings are communicated to the mobile node or mobility node using
 the same generic mechanism.  The following subsections present the
 protocol overview and applicable use cases.

3.1. Binding Revocation Protocol

 In the case of Mobile IPv6, if the home network decides to terminate
 the service of the mobile node, the home agent sends a Binding
 Revocation Indication (BRI) message to the mobile node.  The home
 agent includes the home address (HoA) of the mobile node in the Type
 2 routing header as specified in [RFC3775] to indicate the impacted
 mobile node binding.  In the case of Dual Stack Mobile IPv6 (DSMIPv6)
 [RFC5555], the home agent may include the IPv4 Home Address option
 with the home IPv4 address assigned by the mobile node.
 Additionally, if the mobile node registered multiple care-of
 addresses [RFC5648], the home agent includes the Binding Identifier
 (BID) option(s) in the Binding Revocation Indication message to
 identify which binding is being revoked.  When the mobile node
 receives a Binding Revocation Indication message with its HoA
 included in the Type 2 routing header, the mobile node responds by
 sending a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement (BRA) message.
 Similarly, in the case of Proxy Mobile IPv6 [RFC5213], the revocation
 procedure can be initiated by the local mobility anchor by sending a
 Binding Revocation Indication message to communicate the termination
 of a mobile node registration binding to the mobile access gateway.
 In this case, the local mobility anchor includes the mobile node Home
 Network Prefix (MN-HNP) option [RFC5213] and the MN-ID option

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

 [RFC4283] to indicate to the mobility access gateway the identity of
 the PMIPv6 binding that needs to be terminated.  When the mobile
 access gateway receives the Binding Revocation Indication message,
 the mobile access gateway responds to the local mobility anchor by
 sending a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement message.
 On the other hand, the mobile access gateway usually sends a de-
 registration message by sending a Proxy Binding Update with a
 lifetime of zero to indicate to the local mobility anchor of the
 termination of the PMIPv6 mobile node binding registration.  In this
 case, the mobile access gateway includes the MN-HNP option, the MN-ID
 option, and all other required mobility options as per [RFC5213] in
 order for the local mobility anchor to identify the mobile node
 PMIPv6 binding.  Additionally, in the case when the mobile access
 gateway communicates a bulk termination of PMIPv6 mobility sessions,
 the mobile access gateway sends a Binding Revocation Indication
 message with the Global (G) bit set and includes the mobile access
 gateway identity in the MN-ID option, see Section 9.2 and
 Section 8.2.  When the local mobility anchor receives such a Binding
 Revocation Indication message, it ensures that the mobile access
 gateway is authorized to send such a bulk termination message, see
 Section 13, and then processes the Binding Revocation Indication
 message accordingly.  If the local mobility anchor processes the
 Binding Revocation Indication message successfully, the local
 mobility anchor responds to the mobile access gateway by sending
 Binding Revocation Acknowledgement message.
 In any of the above cases, the initiator of the binding revocation
 procedure, e.g., home agent, local mobility anchor, or mobile access
 gateway, uses the Revocation Trigger field in the Binding Revocation
 Indication message to indicate to the receiving node the reason for
 initiating the revocation procedure.

3.2. MIPv6 and DSMIP6 Use Case

 The binding revocation mechanism is applicable to Mobile IPv6 and
 DSMIPv6 session(s) when the home agent needs to inform the mobile
 node that its binding registration has been revoked, e.g., for an
 administrative reason.  This mechanism enables the user or the mobile
 node to react to the revocation, e.g., reinstate its interrupted
 Mobile IPv6 services.
 In this case, the home agent sends a Binding Revocation Indication
 message to indicate to the mobile node that its current mobile IPv6
 (MIPv6) binding has been revoked and it is no longer able to receive
 IP mobility service.  The home agent includes the HoA in a Type 2
 routing header as used in [RFC3775] and sets the Revocation Trigger
 field to a proper value, e.g., Administrative Reason.  In the case of

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 6] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

 a DSMIPv6 session, the home agent may additionally include the
 mobile-node-assigned IPv4 Home Address in the IPv4 Home Address
 option.  When the mobile node receives the Binding Revocation
 Indication message, it sends a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement
 message to the home agent.  Figure 1 illustrates the message
 sequencing when a home agent revokes a mobile node binding
 registration.

3.3. Multiple Care-of Addresses (MCoA) Use Case

 In the case of multiple care-of address registrations [RFC5648], the
 home agent maintains a different binding for each care-of address and
 home address pair.  These bindings are also indexed and identified
 during the mobile node registration using a BID mobility option.  The
 HA may revoke one or multiple bindings for the same mobile node home
 address.
 If the home agent revokes a single binding for a mobile node with
 multiple care-of address registrations, the home agent sends a
 Binding Revocation Indication message to the mobile node with the
 corresponding BID option included.  If more than one of the mobile
 node registered care-of addresses needs to be revoked, the home agent
 includes all the corresponding BID options in the same Binding
 Revocation Indication message.  Figure 2 illustrates the message flow
 when the home agent revokes two registered care-of addresses for the
 same mobile node in a single Binding Revocation Indication message.

  Figure 2: Home Agent Revokes MN's Specific Care-of Address Bindings
 Additionally, the home agent may revoke all of the mobile node
 registered bindings by sending a BRI message without including any
 BID options while the HoA is included in the Type 2 routing header.
 Figure 1 illustrates the message flow when the home agent revokes all
 registered care-of address bindings for a mobile node in a single
 Binding Revocation Indication message.

3.4. Proxy MIPv6 Use Case

 Since the mobile node does not participate in the mobility mechanism
 in the case of PMIPv6, there are many scenarios where the Binding
 Revocation mechanism is needed to clean resources and make sure that
 the mobility entities, i.e., mobile access gateway and local mobility
 anchor, are always synchronized with respect to the status of the
 existing PMIPv6 bindings.  The binding revocation mechanism is
 generic enough that it can be used for all Proxy Mobile IPv6
 scenarios that follow the [RFC5213] and [RFC5844] specifications.
 When the mobile access gateway receives a Binding Revocation
 Indication message as in Section 9.1, the mobile access gateway sends
 a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement message to the local mobility
 anchor following the rules described in Section 6.1.2.  Similarly, if
 the local mobility anchor receives a Binding Revocation Indication
 message, the local mobility anchor responds to the mobile access
 gateway by sending a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement message.

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 8] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

3.4.1. Local Mobility Anchor Initiates PMIPv6 Revocation

 The local mobility anchor may send a Binding Revocation Indication
 message with the appropriate revocation trigger value to the mobile
 access gateway that hosts a specific PMIPv6 binding to indicate that
 the mobile node binding has been terminated and the mobile access
 gateway can clean up the applicable resources.  When the mobile
 access gateway receives a Binding Revocation Indication message, the
 mobile access gateway identifies the respective binding and it sends
 a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement message to the local mobility
 anchor.  In this case, the mobile access gateway could terminate the
 IPv6 or IPv4 mobility session on the access link and notify the
 mobile node as in Section 9.1.
 As an example, Figure 3, illustrates the message sequence for
 revoking a mobile node binding at the source mobile access gateway
 during the mobile node inter-MAG handover.  During the inter-MAG
 handover, the mobile node moves from the source MAG to the target
 MAG.  The target MAG sends a Proxy Binding Update with the new
 care-of address to the local mobility anchor to update the mobile
 node's point of attachment.  Since the mobile node binding at the
 local mobility anchor points to the source MAG and upon receiving the
 Proxy Binding Update from the target MAG, the local mobility anchor
 updates the MN Binding Cache entry (BCE) and sends a Proxy Binding
 Acknowledgement to the target MAG.  The local mobility anchor can
 send a Binding Revocation Indication message with the appropriate
 revocation trigger value, e.g., inter-MAG handover - different Access
 Types, to the source MAG in order to clean up the applicable
 resources reserved for the specified mobile node binding.  The source
 mobile access gateway acknowledges the Binding Revocation Indication
 message by sending a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement message to
 indicate the success or failure of the termination of the mobile
 node's binding.
 The process identified above can also be used by the local mobility
 anchor in scenarios other than the inter-MAG handover with the proper
 revocation trigger value to indicate to the peer mobile access
 gateway that a specific PMIPv6 binding or bindings have been revoked.

  Figure 3: LMA Revokes an MN Registration During Inter-MAG Handover
 In addition, the local mobility anchor can send a Binding Revocation
 Indication message to indicate that all bindings that are hosted by
 the peer mobile access gateway and registered with the local mobility
 anchor are being revoked by setting the Global (G) bit as described
 in Section 8.1.

3.4.2. Mobile Access Gateway Revokes Bulk PMIPv6 Bindings

 The mobile access gateway sends a BRI message with the Global (G) bit
 set and the Revocation Trigger field set to "Per-Peer Policy" to
 indicate that all mobility bindings that are registered at the local
 mobility anchor and attached to the mobile access gateway are being
 revoked as in Section 9.2.  When the local mobility anchor receives
 this Binding Revocation Indication message from the specified mobile
 access gateway, the local mobility anchor first checks if the mobile
 access gateway is authorized to use global revocations, then it
 responds with the appropriate status code by sending a Binding
 Revocation Acknowledgement message as in Section 6.1.2.

4. Binding Revocation Messages over IPv4 Transport Network

 In some deployments, the network between the mobile access gateway
 and the local mobility anchor may only support IPv4 transport.
 Another case is when a mobile node that supports client mobile IPv6

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 10] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

 roams to an access network where only IPv4 addressing and transport
 is supported.  In this case, the mobile node is required to register
 an IPv4 home address with its home agent using a mobile IPv6 Binding
 Update message.
 If the Proxy Binding Update and Proxy Binding Acknowledgement
 messages or the Binding Update and Binding Acknowledgement messages
 are sent using UDP encapsulation [RFC5844] [RFC5555], then the
 Binding Revocation Messages are sent using the same UDP
 encapsulation.  The same UDP source and destination port numbers and
 IPv4 addresses used for exchanging the Proxy Binding Update and Proxy
 Binding Acknowledgement or the Binding Update and Binding
 Acknowledgement messages MUST be used when transporting Binding
 Revocation Messages over IPv4 using UDP encapsulation.  For example,
 the source UDP port number, the destination UDP port number, the
 source IPv4 address, and the destination IPv4 address of the Binding
 Revocation Indication message are set to the destination UDP port
 number, the source UDP port number, destination IPv4 address, and
 source IPv4 address of the latest received and successfully processed
 Proxy Binding Update or Binding Update message, respectively.  For
 more details on tunneling Proxy Mobile IPv6 and Mobile IPv6 signaling
 messages over IPv4, see [RFC5844] and [RFC5555], respectively.

5. Binding Revocation Message

 This section defines the Binding Revocation Message format using an
 MH Type 16 as illustrated in Figure 4.  The value in the Binding
 Revocation Type field defines whether the Binding Revocation Message
 is a Binding Revocation Indication or Binding Revocation
 Acknowledgement.  If the Binding Revocation Type field is set to 1,
 the Binding Revocation Message is a Binding Revocation Indication as
 in Section 5.1.  However, if the value is 2, it is a Binding
 Revocation Acknowledgement message as in Section 5.2.

5.1. Binding Revocation Indication Message

 The Binding Revocation Indication (BRI) message is a Binding
 Revocation Message that has an MH type 16 and a Binding Revocation
 Type value of 1.  It is used by the initiator to inform the responder
 of the identity of a specific binding or bindings for which IP
 mobility service are being revoked.  Binding Revocation Indication
 message is sent as described in Sections 7, 8.1, and 9.2.
 When the value 1 is indicated in the Binding Revocation Type field of
 the Binding Revocation Message, the format of the Binding Revocation
 Message Data follows the Binding Revocation Indication message as in

 Revocation Trigger
    8-bit unsigned integer indicating the event that triggered the
    initiator to send the BRI message.  The Per-MN Revocation Trigger
    values are less than 128.  The Per-MN Revocation Trigger is used
    when the BRI message intends to revoke one or more bindings for
    the same mobile node.  The Global Revocation Trigger values are
    greater than 128 and less than 250 and used in the BRI message
    when the Global (G) bit is set for global revocation.  The values
    250-255 are reserved for testing purposes only.  The following
    Revocation Trigger values are currently defined:
    Per-MN Revocation Trigger Values:

        All other values are Reserved
 Sequence Number
    A 16-bit unsigned integer used by the initiator to match a
    returned Binding Revocation Acknowledgement with this Binding
    Revocation Indication.  This sequence number could be a random
    number.  At any time, implementations MUST ensure there is no
    collision between the sequence numbers of all outstanding Binding
    Revocation Indication Messages.
 Proxy Binding (P)
    The Proxy Binding (P) bit is set by the initiator to indicate that
    the revoked binding(s) is a PMIPv6 binding.
 IPv4 HoA Binding Only (V)
    The IPv4 HoA Binding Only (V) bit is set by the initiator, home
    agent, or local mobility anchor to indicate to the receiving
    mobility entity the termination of the IPv4 Home Address binding
    only as in Sections 7 and 8.1.
 Global (G)
    The Global (G) bit is set by the initiator, LMA or MAG, to
    indicate the termination of all Per-Peer mobility Bindings or
    Multiple Bindings that share a common identifier(s) and are served
    by the initiator and responder as in Sections 8.1 and 9.2.
 Reserved
    These fields are unused.  They MUST be initialized to zero by the
    sender and MUST be ignored by the receiver.
 Mobility Options
    A variable-length field of such length that the complete Mobility
    Header is an integer multiple of 8 octets long.  This field

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 14] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

    contains zero or more TLV-encoded mobility options.  This document
    does not define any new mobility option.  The receiver MUST ignore
    and skip any options that it does not understand.  These mobility
    options are used by the responder to identify the specific binding
    or bindings that the initiator is requesting be revoked.
 The following options are valid in a Binding Revocation Indication:
 o  Home Network Prefix option [RFC5213].  This option MAY be used
    only when the (P) bit is set.  This option MUST be present when
    the BRI is used to revoke a single Proxy MIPv6 Binding Cache
    entry.
 o  Mobile Node Identifier option [RFC4283].  This option MUST be
    present when the (P) bit is set.  Additionally, if the Global (G)
    bit is set by the mobile access gateway, this option MUST carry
    the MAG identity.  In this specification, only the Mobile Node
    Identifier option with subtype 1 is required and other subtypes
    are currently not supported.
 o  Binding Identifier mobility option [RFC5648].  This option MUST be
    present if the initiator requests to terminate one binding of a
    multiple care-of address bindings for the same mobile node.  The
    initiator may include more than one of the BID mobility options.
 o  IPv4 Home Address option, which contains the mobile node home IPv4
    address [RFC5555].  This option MUST only be included when the
    IPv4 HoA Binding only (V) bit is set and the (P) bit is cleared.
 o  IPv4 Home Address Request option, which contains the mobile node
    proxy home IPv4 address [RFC5844].  This option MUST only be
    included when the IPv4 HoA Binding only (V) and the (P) bits are
    set.
 o  Alternate Care-of Address mobility option [RFC3775].  According to
    [RFC5213], the mobile access gateway is allowed to include this
    option in the Proxy Binding Update to indicate the proxy care-of
    address of the mobile node mobility session.  This option MAY be
    included to indicate the proxy care-of address of the mobile
    node's binding that is being revoked.  In the case when the Global
    (G) bit is set, this option identifies all mobility bindings that
    share the same proxy care-of address.
 If no mobility options are present in this message, 4 octets of
 padding are necessary and the Header Len field of the Binding
 Revocation Message will be set to 1.

5.2. Binding Revocation Acknowledgement Message

 The Binding Revocation Acknowledgement (BRA) message is a Binding
 Revocation Message that has an MH type 16 and a Binding Revocation
 Type value of 2.  It is used to acknowledge the receipt of a Binding
 Revocation Indication message described in Section 5.1.  This packet
 is sent as described in Section 6.1.2.
 When the value 2 is indicated in the Binding Revocation Type field of
 the Binding Revocation Message, the format of the Binding Revocation
 Message Data follows the Binding Revocation Acknowledgement message
 as in Figure 6.

 Sequence Number
    The sequence number in the Binding Revocation Acknowledgement is
    copied from the Sequence Number field in the Binding Revocation
    Indication.  It is used by the initiator, e.g., HA, LMA, MAG, in
    matching this Binding Revocation Acknowledgement with the
    outstanding Binding Revocation Indication.
 Proxy Binding (P)
    The Proxy Binding (P) bit is set if the (P) bit is set in the
    corresponding Binding Revocation Indication message.
 IPv4 HoA Binding Only (V)
    The IPv4 HoA Binding Only (V) bit is set if the (V) bit is set in
    the corresponding Binding Revocation Indication message.
 Global (G)
    The Global (G) bit is set if the (G) bit is set in the
    corresponding Binding Revocation Indication message.
 Reserved
    These fields are unused.  They MUST be initialized to zero by the
    sender and MUST be ignored by the receiver.
 Mobility Options
    A variable-length field of such length that the complete Mobility
    Header is an integer multiple of 8 octets long.  This field
    contains zero or more TLV-encoded mobility options.  In the case
    when the Status field is set to success, no mobility option is
    required.  The mobility option(s) is usually used to communicate
    information of the bindings that failed the revocation procedure.
 The following mobility options are valid in a Binding Revocation
 Acknowledgement:
 o  Home Network Prefix option [RFC5213].  This option MAY be included
    only when the (P) bit is set.
 o  Mobile Node Identifier Option [RFC4283].  This option MAY be
    included when the (P) bit is set.  This option SHOULD be included
    if the Home Network Prefix option is included.

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 17] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

 o  Binding Identifier mobility option [RFC5648].  The responder MAY
    include this option to indicate the specific BID that failed the
    revocation procedure.
 If no options are present in this message, 4 octets of padding are
 necessary and the Header Len field of the Binding Revocation Message
 will be set to 1.

6. Binding Revocation Process Operation

 The following subsections describe the details of the generic binding
 revocation process as used by the different mobility entities.

6.1. Sending Binding Revocation Message

 When sending a Binding Revocation message, the initiator constructs
 the packet as it would do with any other Mobility Header with the
 exception of setting the MH Type field to 16.
 The Binding Revocation Message MUST be protected using the same
 underlying security association, e.g., IPsec, that is being used
 between the two peers to protect the mobile node's Mobile IPv6 and
 its extensions binding registration signaling.  If IPsec is not used
 as the underlying security mechanism to protect the binding
 registration signaling, the used underlying security mechanism MUST
 provide protection against all identified security threats as
 described under "Security Considerations" in [RFC3775] and [RFC5213].

6.1.1. Sending Binding Revocation Indication

 The initiator MUST construct the Binding Revocation Message Data
 following the format of the Binding Revocation Indication message as
 described in Section 5.1 and the following:
 o  The initiator MUST set the Sequence Number field to a valid
    sequence number for Binding Revocation.  Since sending a Binding
    Revocation Indication message is not done on a regular basis, a
    16-bit Sequence Number field is large enough to allow the
    initiator to match the Binding Revocation Acknowledgement to the
    associated Binding Revocation Indication using the Sequence Number
    field only.
 o  If the initiator is revoking a binding that was created using
    proxy MIPv6 registration, the initiator MUST set the Proxy Binding
    (P) bit.

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 18] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

 o  If the initiator is sending the Binding Revocation Indication
    message to revoke multiple mobility sessions, the initiator MUST
    set the Global (G) bit.  In this case, the initiator MUST set the
    Revocation Trigger field to a valid value from the list of Global
    Revocation Triggers.
 o  If the initiator is sending the Binding Revocation Indication
    message with the Global (G) bit cleared, the initiator MUST set
    the Revocation Trigger field to a valid value from the list of
    Per-MN Revocation Triggers.
 o  If the initiator is sending the Binding Revocation Indication
    message to indicate the revocation of the mobile node IPv4 HoA
    Binding Only, the initiator MUST set the (V) bit.  In this case,
    the initiator MUST include either the IPv4 Home Address option or
    the IPv4 Home Address Request option in the BRI to identify the
    IPv4 HoA that is being revoked.

6.1.2. Sending Binding Revocation Acknowledgement

 The responder MUST send a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement message
 to indicate the receipt and the status of processing of the
 corresponding Binding Revocation Indication message as follows:
 o  Whenever the Binding Revocation Indication is discarded, e.g., as
    described in Section 6.2, a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement
    MUST NOT be sent.  Otherwise, the treatment depends on the
    following rules.
 o  If the responder accepts the Binding Revocation Indication
    message, the responder MUST send a successful Binding Revocation
    Acknowledgement with an appropriate status code.
 o  If the responder rejects the Binding Revocation Indication
    message, the responder MUST send a Binding Revocation
    Acknowledgement with an appropriate failure status code.
 If the Source Address field of the IPv6 header that carried the
 Binding Revocation Indication message does not contain a unicast
 address, the Binding Revocation Indication packet MUST be silently
 discarded.
 When the responder acknowledges the received Binding Revocation
 Indication message, the responder MUST construct the Binding
 Revocation Message Data following the format of the Binding
 Revocation Acknowledgement message as described in Section 5.2 and
 the following:

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 19] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

 o  The responder MUST set the Sequence Number field by copying the
    value from the Sequence Number field of the received Binding
    Revocation Indication.
 o  The responder MUST set the Status field to a valid value that
    reflects the status of the processing of the received Binding
    Revocation Indication message.
 o  If the (P) bit is set in the received Binding Revocation
    Indication, the responder MUST set the (P) bit in the Binding
    Revocation Acknowledgement.
 o  If the Global (G) bit is set in the received Binding Revocation
    Indication, the responder MUST set the Global (G) bit in the
    Binding Revocation Acknowledgement.
 o  If the IPv4 HoA Binding Only (V) bit is set in the received
    Binding Revocation Indication, the responder MUST set the (V) bit
    in the Binding Revocation Acknowledgement.
 o  The destination IP address of the IPv6 packet of the Binding
    Revocation Acknowledgement is set to the source IP address of the
    received Binding Revocation Indication.

6.2. Receiving Binding Revocation Message

 When receiving a Binding Revocation Message, the responder MUST
 verify the Mobility Header as described in Section 9.2. of [RFC3775].
 If the packet is dropped due to failing any of the Mobility Header
 test checks, the responder MUST follow the processing rules as in
 Section 9.2 of [RFC3775].  If the responder does not support the
 Binding Revocation Indication message and does not recognize the MH
 type 16, it sends a Binding Error message with the Status field set
 to 2 as described in [RFC3775].
 Upon receiving a packet carrying a Binding Revocation Message, BRI or
 BRA, the receiving mobility entity MUST verify that the packet was
 received protected by the security association that is being used to
 protect the binding registration and Binding Revocation signaling
 between the two peers, e.g., an IPsec Security Association (SA).

6.2.1. Receiving Binding Revocation Indication

 When the responder receives a packet carrying a Binding Revocation
 Indication message that was successfully processed as in Section 6.2,
 the responder, in addition, processes the message as follows:

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 20] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

 o  The responder MUST validate that the Binding Revocation Indication
    is formatted as in Section 5.1.
 o  If the Revocation Trigger field is set to a value that the
    responder does not support, the responder SHOULD reject the
    Binding Revocation Indication message using status code
    "Revocation Trigger NOT Supported".
 o  If the Revocation Trigger value is NOT allowed with the Binding
    Revocation Indication message intent, e.g., the Global (G) bit is
    set and the Revocation Trigger field value is Per-MN-specific, the
    responder SHOULD reject the Binding Revocation Indication message
    using status code "Revocation Function NOT Supported".
 o  If the responder failed to identify the mobile node(s) bindings as
    identified in the Binding Revocation Indication message, the
    responder MUST reject the BRI using status code "Binding Does NOT
    Exist".

6.2.2. Receiving Binding Revocation Acknowledgement

 When the initiator receives a packet carrying a Binding Revocation
 Acknowledgement message that was successfully processed as in
 Section 6.2, the initiator, in addition, processes the message and
 examines the Status field as follows:
 o  The initiator MUST validate that the sequence number in the
    Sequence Number field matches the sequence number of an
    outstanding Binding Revocation Indication that was sent by the
    initiator.  If the sequence number does not match a sequence
    number of any of the outstanding Binding Revocation Indication
    messages, the initiator MUST silently discard the message but MAY
    log the event.
 o  If the Status field indicates that the Binding Revocation
    Indication was processed successfully, the initiator MUST delete
    the current timer and the mobile node(s) binding(s) and all
    associated resources.
 o  If the Status field indicates any value other than success, the
    initiator SHOULD examine any mobility options included in the
    Binding Revocation Acknowledgement.  In this case, it is based on
    the initiator local policy how to handle the mobile node binding.
    The initiator MAY log the appropriate event to reflect the
    received status.

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 21] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

6.3. Retransmission of Binding Revocation Indication

 If the initiator does not receive a Binding Revocation
 Acknowledgement in response to the outstanding Binding Revocation
 Indication before the InitMINDelayBRIs timer expires, the initiator,
 e.g., LMA, SHOULD retransmit the same BRI message up to the
 BRIMaxRetriesNumber as defined in Section 11.
 The retransmissions by the initiator MUST use an exponential back-off
 process in which the timeout period is doubled upon each
 retransmission, until either the initiator receives a response or the
 timeout period reaches the value MAX_BRACK_TIMEOUT.  The initiator
 MAY continue to send these messages at this slower rate up to the
 BRIMaxRetriesNumber.
 If the initiator does not receive a Binding Revocation
 Acknowledgement message after the BRIMaxRetriesNumber of retransmits
 have been sent, the initiator SHOULD clean up all resources
 associated with this mobile node binding.  The initiator may log the
 event.

7. Home Agent Operation

 To terminate a mobile node registration and its current binding with
 the home agent, the home agent sends a packet to the mobile node
 containing a Binding Revocation Indication, with the packet
 constructed as follows:
 o  The Revocation Trigger field MUST be set to indicate to the mobile
    node the reason for revoking its IP mobility binding with the home
    agent.  The Revocation Trigger may be used by the mobile node to
    take further steps if necessary.
 o  The Binding Revocation Indication MUST be sent using a Type 2
    routing header that contains the mobile node's registered IPv6
    home address for the binding being revoked.
 o  The care-of address for the binding MUST be used as the
    destination address in the packet's IPv6 header.
 o  If the home agent needs to only revoke the mobile node's IPv4 home
    address binding, the home agent MUST set the IPv4 HoA Binding Only
    (V) bit and MUST include the mobile node's registered IPv4 home
    address that is being revoked in the IPv4 Home Address option.
 When the home agent sends a Binding Revocation Indication to the
 mobile node, the home agent sets a flag in the mobile node BCE to
 indicate that revocation is in progress and starts the

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 22] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

 InitMINDelayBRIs timer.  The home agent maintains the mobile node BCE
 in this state until it receives a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement
 or retransmits the Binding Revocation Indication message as described
 in Section 6.3.
 In a race condition case, the home agent may receive a Binding Update
 from the mobile node while the mobile node's BCE has the revocation
 in progress flag set, the home agent SHOULD handle this case based on
 the reason for sending the Binding Revocation Indication message and
 its local policy.  In this case, if the home agent accepts the
 Binding Update, it needs to update the mobile node BCE accordingly,
 e.g., removing the revocation in progress flag.
 When the home agent needs to revoke one or more of a mobile node
 bindings that were created using multiple care-of address
 registrations as in [RFC5648], the home agent MUST include all the
 related BID mobility options that identify these bindings in the
 Binding Revocation Indication message.  In the case when the home
 agent needs to revoke all of the mobile node bindings, the home agent
 SHOULD NOT include any of the BID mobility options.
 When the home agent receives a packet carrying a valid Binding
 Revocation Acknowledgement message, the home agent follows
 Section 6.2 in processing this message.

8. Local Mobility Anchor Operation

8.1. Sending Binding Revocation Indication

 To terminate a mobile node PMIPv6 registration and its current
 binding with the local mobility anchor, the local mobility anchor
 sends a packet to the mobile access gateway containing a Binding
 Revocation Indication message following the procedure in Section 6.1
 and the following rules:
 o  The Proxy Binding (P) bit MUST be set to indicate that the binding
    being revoked is a PMIPv6 binding.
 o  The Revocation Trigger field MUST be set to indicate to the mobile
    access gateway the reason for removing the specified mobile node
    PMIPv6 binding at the local mobility anchor.  The Revocation
    Trigger may be used by the mobile access gateway to learn the
    mobile node's latest movement.
 o  The packet MUST contain the Mobile Node Identifier (MN-ID) option,
    which contains the mobile node's Network Access Identifier (NAI)
    that was used in the Proxy Binding Update during the mobile node
    registration.

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 23] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

 o  If the Mobile Node Identifier (MN-ID) is registered in more than
    one of the mobile node's BCEs and the local mobility anchor does
    NOT need to revoke all of the mobile node's bindings, the Binding
    Revocation Indication message MUST contain another identifier to
    uniquely identify the mobile node binding(s) that is being
    revoked, e.g., at least one Home Network Prefix option that
    contains the mobile node's registered Home Network Prefix (HNP)
    for the binding being revoked.
 o  In the case of revoking all Per-Peer bindings, the local mobility
    anchor MUST set the Global (G) bit and the Revocation Trigger MUST
    contain the value "Per-Peer Policy" to request the mobile access
    gateway to remove all Per-Peer bindings that are registered with
    the local mobility anchor and this mobile access gateway.
 o  The proxy care-of address for the binding MUST be used as the
    destination address in the packet's IPv6 header.  However, in the
    case when IPsec is used to protect the Proxy MIPv6 signaling as
    specified in [RFC5213], the destination address MUST be set to the
    mag_address that is being used for keying the IPsec SA.  If the
    mag_address is different than the mobile node proxy care-of
    address, the Alternate Care-of Address option MUST be included and
    MUST contain the mobile node proxy care-of address.
 The local mobility anchor MAY delete the mobile node(s) IP tunnel
 immediately after sending the initial Binding Revocation Indication
 and before receiving the Binding Revocation Acknowledgement message.
 When the local mobility anchor sends a Binding Revocation Indication
 to the mobile access gateway to remove a specific binding, the local
 mobility anchor sets a flag in the mobile node proxy BCE to indicate
 that revocation is in progress and starts the InitMINDelayBRIs timer.
 The local mobility anchor SHOULD maintain the mobile node proxy BCE
 in this state until it receives a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement
 or the BRIMaxRetransmitNumber is reached.  In the case when the local
 mobility anchor sets the Revocation Trigger field to a value that
 indicates inter-MAG handover, the local mobility anchor MAY switch
 the mobile node IP tunnel to the target mobile access gateway before
 sending the Binding Revocation Indication to the source mobile access
 gateway.
 In a race condition case, the local mobility anchor may receive a
 Proxy Binding Update from the mobile access gateway while the mobile
 node's proxy BCE has the revocation in progress flag set.  The local
 mobility anchor should handle this case based on the reason for
 sending the Binding Revocation Indication message and its local

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 24] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

 policy.  In this case, if the local mobility anchor accepts the Proxy
 Binding Update, it needs to update the mobile node proxy BCE
 accordingly, e.g., removing the revocation in progress flag.
 When the local mobility anchor needs to revoke all the mobile node
 proxy BCEs that are registered with the local mobility anchor and the
 mobile access gateway peer, it MUST set the Global (G) bit and set
 the value of the Revocation Trigger field to "Per-Peer Policy".  In
 this case, the local mobility anchor MUST NOT include any mobility
 options in this Binding Revocation Indication message.
 When the local mobility anchor needs to revoke all mobile nodes proxy
 BCEs that belong to a specific realm and are registered with the
 local mobility anchor and the mobile access gateway peer, the local
 mobility anchor MUST set the Global (G) bit and set the value of the
 Revocation Trigger field to "Revoking Mobility Node Local Policy".
 In this case, the local mobility anchor MUST include a mobility
 option in the Binding Revocation Indication that is shared among all
 the impacted mobile nodes BCEs, e.g., the mobile node identifier
 option, MN-ID option, with a subtype value of 1.  In this case, the
 NAI value in the MN-ID MUST follow the format where the content after
 the "@" character defines the realm that is shared amongst all of the
 impacted mobile nodes proxy BCEs.  As an example: @example.com
 identifies all mobile nodes whose MN-ID value contains "example.com"
 as the realm, e.g., "1234abdelta@example.com", "axxxyzd@example.com",
 and "abcdefg.xyz123@example.com", but not
 "1234abdelta@foo.example.com".
 When the local mobility anchor needs to revoke a subgroup of the
 mobile nodes proxy BCEs that belong to a specific realm and are
 registered with the local mobility anchor and the mobile access
 gateway, the local mobility anchor MUST set the Global (G) bit and
 set the value of the Revocation Trigger field to "Revoking Mobility
 Node Local Policy".  In this case, the local mobility anchor MUST
 include an additional mobility option to the mobile node identifier
 option (MN-ID) option, with a subtype value of 1.  In other words,
 the impacted mobile node BCEs are those that have an MN-ID with a
 realm as specified above and, e.g., are assigned the same proxy
 care-of address as the one included in the Alternate Care-of Address
 mobility option.
 When the mobile node is registered with multiple Home Network
 Prefixes for the same proxy care-of address, the local mobility
 anchor SHOULD include an HNP option for each registered HNP in the
 Binding Revocation Indication.  Alternatively, it MAY include only
 the mobile node identifier (MN-ID) option with the mobile node NAI
 included to indicate to the mobile access gateway to remove all
 bindings of the specified mobile node NAI in the MN-ID option.

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 25] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

 According to the Proxy Mobile IPv6 specification [RFC5213], if the
 local mobility anchor receives a Proxy Binding Update message from a
 new mobile access gateway for extending the binding lifetime of the
 only BCE of this mobile node with the Handoff Indicator value set to
 "Handoff state unknown (4)", the local mobility anchor waits a period
 of MaxDelayBeforeNewBCEAssign to receive a de-registration message
 from the previous mobile access gateway before updating the mobile
 node's BCE with the new point of attachment.  If a de-registration
 message is not received, the local mobility anchor considers the
 received Proxy Binding Update message as a request for a new BCE and
 if processed successfully, the local mobility anchor assigns a
 different HNP for the new BCE.
 This document updates the local mobility anchor's behavior in this
 case.  If the local mobility anchor supports the binding revocation
 mechanism as described in this document, it SHOULD proactively send a
 Binding Revocation Indication message to the previous mobile access
 gateway instead of waiting for a de-registration from the previous
 mobile access gateway.  In the Binding Revocation Indication message,
 the Revocation Trigger MUST be set to "Inter-MAG Handover - Unknown".
 If the local mobility anchor sent a Binding Revocation Indication
 message with the Revocation Trigger field set to "Inter-MAG Handover
 - Unknown" and while waiting for a response, Binding Revocation
 Acknowledgement, the following are possible conditions that the local
 mobility anchor MUST handle as specified below:
 o  If the local mobility anchor receives a successful Binding
    Revocation Acknowledgement message or a de-registration message
    from the previous mobile access gateway, the local mobility anchor
    MUST update the mobile node BCE as if it received a de-
    registration message as described in [RFC5213].
 o  If the local mobility anchor receives a Binding Revocation
    Acknowledgement message with the Status field set to "Revocation
    Failed - MN is Attached", the local mobility anchor SHOULD update
    the mobile node BCE as if it did NOT receive a de-registration
    before the MaxDelayBeforeNewBCEAssign timer expired by creating a
    new BCE as described in [RFC5213].
 o  If the local mobility anchor did not receive a Binding Revocation
    Acknowledgement message or a de-registration Proxy Binding Update
    from the previous mobile access gateway after it exhausted all of
    the Binding Revocation Indication message retransmissions as
    described in Section 6.3, the local mobility anchor SHOULD update
    the mobile node's BCE as if it did NOT receive a de-registration
    before the MaxDelayBeforeNewBCEAssign timer expired by creating a
    new BCE as described in [RFC5213].  Note that the local mobility

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 26] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

    anchor SHOULD use the recommended number of retransmissions for
    the Binding Revocation Indication message as described in
    Section 11 to avoid delaying the creation of a new Binding Cache
    entry for too long, if the mobile node is actually attaching to
    the new MAG with a different interface.
 When the mobile node is registered with an IPv4 proxy home address in
 addition to the Home Network Prefix where both of the IPv4 proxy HoA
 (pHoA) and HNP are bound to the same proxy CoA (pCoA), the local
 mobility anchor MAY revoke the mobile node IPv4 proxy HoA binding to
 the current mobile node proxy CoA while maintaining the mobile node
 binding of the HNP to its current pCoA as part of the mobile node
 BCE.  In this case, if the local mobility anchor decides to revoke
 the mobile node IPv4 proxy HoA only, it MUST send a Binding
 Revocation Indication message following the procedure in Section 6.1
 and the following rules:
 o  The IPv4 HoA Binding Only (V) bit MUST be set in the BRI to
    indicate that only the IPv4 home address binding is being revoked.
 o  The IPv4 Home Address Request option MUST be included with the
    mobile node's registered proxy home IPv4 address that is being
    released in addition to the MN-ID option.
 o  The mobile node Home Network Prefix option MUST NOT be included.
 o  The Revocation Trigger field MUST be set to an appropriate value,
    e.g., "User Initiated Session(s) Termination".

8.2. Receiving Binding Revocation Indication

 When the local mobility anchor receives a packet carrying a Binding
 Revocation Indication that was successfully processed as in
 Section 6.2, the local mobility anchor processes the message as
 follows:
 o  If the (P) bit is set, the local mobility anchor MUST validate
    that all impacted bindings have the proxy binding flag set.
 o  If the Global (G) bit is set and the Revocation Trigger field
    value is "Per-Peer Policy", the LMA MUST validate that the Proxy
    (P) bit is set and the MN-ID option is present with the mobile
    access gateway identity included.  In addition, the local mobility
    anchor MUST verify that the identified mobile access gateway as
    per the value in the MN-ID option is authorized to use the global
    revocation with revocation trigger value "Per-Peer Policy", see
    Section 13.  If the local mobility anchor processes the Global

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 27] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

    Binding Revocation Indication message successfully, it MUST accept
    the Binding Revocation Indication message using the status code
    "success".
 o  If the mobile access gateway is not authorized to use the Per-Peer
    Global revocation feature or the received Binding Revocation
    Indication message has the Global (G) bit set and the Revocation
    Trigger field is set to "Per-Peer Policy", but the MN-ID option is
    not included, the local mobility anchor MUST reject the Binding
    Revocation Indication message using status code "Global Revocation
    NOT Authorized".
 o  If the Global (G) bit is set and the Revocation Trigger value is
    "Per-Peer Policy", and only the mobile node identifier (MN-ID)
    option is included, the local mobility anchor MUST revoke all
    mobile node bindings for which the proxy CoA is the one used as
    the source of the IPv6 packet that carried the Binding Revocation
    Indication.  However, if the Alternate Care-of Address option is
    included in addition to the mobile node identifier option, the
    local mobility anchor MUST revoke all mobile node bindings whose
    proxy care-of address matches the care-of address in the Alternate
    Care-of Address option.  After the local mobility anchor
    successfully processes the Binding Revocation Indication message
    and identifies all impacted mobile nodes bindings, it MUST accept
    the Binding Revocation Indication message using the status code
    "success".
 o  If the local mobility anchor accepted the Binding Revocation
    Indication message but one or more of the bindings identified in
    the received Binding Revocation Indication message has already
    been released, the local mobility anchor MUST accept the message
    and it MAY set the Status field to "partial success" and include
    the mobile node identifier (MN-ID) or the Home Network Prefix
    option to identify the binding(s) that failed the revocation
    procedure.
 o  If the Global (G) bit is not set, the local mobility anchor uses
    the included mobility options to identify the impacted mobile node
    binding as follows:
    1.  If only the mobile node identifier (MN-ID) option is included,
        the local mobility anchor MUST accept the message and revoke
        all bindings for this mobile node that use the specified
        mobile node NAI including the IPv4 Home Address binding(s) if
        present.

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 28] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

    2.  If the mobile node identifier (MN-ID) and one Home Network
        Prefix option are included, the local mobility anchor MUST
        accept the message and only remove the specified mobile node
        proxy binding.
    3.  If the mobile node identifier (MN-ID) option and more than one
        Home Network Prefix options are included, the local mobility
        anchor MUST accept the message and remove all bindings that
        are referenced by these Home Network Prefixes for the
        specified mobile node NAI.
    4.  If the IPv4 HoA binding Only (V) bit is set and the mobile
        node identifier (MN-ID) option and the IPv4 Home Address
        Request option are included, the local mobility anchor MUST
        accept the message and remove only the IPv4 HoA address
        binding to the mobile node current proxy care-of address.
 The Revocation Trigger field value in the received Binding Revocation
 Indication could be used by the local mobility anchor to log an event
 or update some local parameters that track the state of the peer
 mobile access gateway.
 After the local mobility anchor accepts or rejects a Binding
 Revocation Indication message, the local mobility anchor MUST follow
 Sections 6.1 and 6.1.2 to send a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement
 message to the mobile access gateway.

9. Mobile Access Gateway Operation

9.1. Receiving Binding Revocation Indication

 When the mobile access gateway receives a packet carrying a Binding
 Revocation Indication that was successfully processed as in
 Section 6.2, the mobile access gateway processes the message as
 follows:
 o  If the Global (G) bit is set and the Revocation Trigger field
    value is "Per-Peer Policy", the mobile access gateway MUST
    validate that the Proxy (P) bit is set and no mobility options are
    included in the message.  If the mobile access gateway processes
    the Global Binding Revocation Indication message successfully, it
    MUST accept the Binding Revocation Indication message using the
    status code "success".
 o  If the Global (G) bit is set and the Revocation Trigger field
    value is "Revoking Mobility Node Local Policy", the mobile access
    gateway MUST validate that the Proxy (P) bit is set and at least
    the MN-ID option with the subtype value of 1 is included in the

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 29] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

    Binding Revocation Indication and it is formatted as described is
    Section 8.1.  If the mobile access gateway processes this Global
    Binding Revocation Indication message successfully, it MUST accept
    the message using the status code "success".
 o  If the Global (G) bit is set and the Revocation Trigger field
    value is "Revoking Mobility Node Local Policy", and no mobility
    options are included in the Binding Revocation Indication message
    or the mobile access gateway is not able to identify the impacted
    mobile nodes bindings based on the included mobility options, the
    mobile access gateway MUST treat this as an error scenario.  In
    this case, the mobile access gateway MUST reject the Binding
    Revocation Indication message using status code "Revoked Mobile
    Nodes Identity Required".
 o  If the Revocation Trigger field value in the received Binding
    Revocation Indication message indicates inter-MAG handover, e.g.,
    Inter-MAG Handover - Unknown, the mobile access gateway uses the
    mobility option(s) included in the Binding Revocation Indication
    message to identify the mobile node binding.  The mobile access
    gateway SHOULD ensure that the mobile node is no longer attached
    to the mobile access gateway before accepting the BRI message
    using status code "success".  However, if the mobile access
    gateway verified that the mobile node is still directly attached,
    the mobile access gateway MUST reject the BRI using status code
    "Revocation failed - MN is Attached".
 o  If the IPv4 HoA Binding Only (V) bit is set, the mobile access
    gateway uses the MN-ID option to identify the mobile node binding
    entry in the Binding Update List (BUL).  The mobile access gateway
    MUST verify that the IPv4 address included in the IPv4 Home
    Address Request option in the received Binding Revocation
    Indication is the same as the IPv4 proxy HoA that is assigned to
    the mobile node.  After the mobile access gateway successfully
    validates the received IPv4 home address as the mobile node IPv4
    HoA, it MUST consider this as an indication to ONLY release the
    mobile node IPv4 proxy HoA binding to the mobile node current
    proxy CoA.  Consequently, it MUST continue to maintain the mobile
    node IPv6 proxy HoA or HNP binding to the current mobile node
    proxy CoA as part of the mobile node binding in the BUL entry and
    release all resources associated with the MN IPv4 proxy HoA
    binding to the MN pCoA.  If the mobile access gateway processed
    the BRI successfully, the mobile access gateway MUST accept the
    BRI using status code "success".  On the other hand, if the mobile
    access gateway is able to identify the mobile node binding using
    the MN-ID but failed to identify the received IPv4 proxy HoA, the
    mobile access gateway MUST reject the BRI using status code
    "Binding Does NOT Exist".

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 30] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

 o  If the mobile access gateway accepts the Binding Revocation
    Indication message but one or more of the bindings identified in
    the received Binding Revocation Indication message has already
    been released before processing the Binding Revocation Indication,
    the mobile access gateway MUST accept the Binding Revocation
    Indication message.  In this case, the mobile access gateway MAY
    set the Status field to "partial success" and include the mobile
    node identifier (MN-ID) or the Home Network Prefix option to
    identify the binding(s) that failed to be removed as part of the
    revocation procedure.
 The Revocation Trigger field value in the received Binding Revocation
 Indication could be used by the mobile access gateway to define what
 actions the mobile access gateway could do to inform the mobile node
 that its IP connectivity to the current HNP has been terminated,
 e.g., if the Revocation Trigger field is set to "Administrative
 Reason", the mobile access gateway may terminate the IPv6 or IPv4
 mobility session on the access link and notify the mobile node.  The
 specific details and considerations on how the mobile access gateway
 terminates IPv6 or IPv4 mobility session on the access link and
 notifies the mobile node can be found in [RFC5213] and [RFC5844].
 After the mobile access gateway accepts or rejects a Binding
 Revocation Indication message, the mobile access gateway MUST follow
 Sections 6.1 and 6.1.2 to send a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement
 message to the local mobility anchor.

9.2. Sending Binding Revocation Indication

 The mobile access gateway could send a Binding Revocation Indication
 message to indicate the termination of multiple mobile node bindings,
 e.g., when using the global revocation with the Global (G) bit set.
 In this case, when an event occurs that requires the mobile access
 gateway to inform the local mobility anchor peer to terminate all
 mobile node bindings that are registered at the local mobility anchor
 and the mobile access gateway, the mobile access gateway sends a
 Binding Revocation Indication message following the procedure in
 Section 6.1 and the following:
 o  The Proxy Binding (P) bit MUST be set to indicate that the
    binding(s) being revoked is a PMIPv6 binding.
 o  The Global (G) bit MUST be set and the Revocation Trigger MUST
    contain a value of "Per-Peer Policy" in the Binding Revocation
    Indication to request the local mobility anchor to remove all Per-
    Peer bindings that are registered with the local mobility anchor
    and the mobile access gateway.  In this case, the MN-ID option
    MUST be included in the Binding Revocation Indication and contain

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 31] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

    the mobile access gateway identity.  In addition, the mobile
    access gateway MAY include the Alternate Care-of Address option.
    If included, the Alternate Care-of Address option MUST contain the
    proxy care-of address the bindings that are being impacted by this
    Binding Revocation Indication message.
 o  The mobile access gateway address MAY be used as the source
    address in the packet's IPv6 header.
 As described in Section 6.3, the mobile access gateway SHOULD
 retransmit the Binding Revocation Indication to the local mobility
 anchor until it receives a matching Binding Revocation
 Acknowledgement or the BRIMaxRetransmitNumber is reached.  The mobile
 access gateway MAY delete the mobile node IP tunnels immediately
 after sending the Binding Revocation Indication and before receiving
 a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement message from the LMA.
 In response to a Binding Revocation Indication message, if the mobile
 access gateway receives a packet carrying a Binding Revocation
 Acknowledgement that was successfully processed as in Section 6.2 and
 the Status field indicates "Global Revocation NOT Authorized", the
 mobile access gateway is not authorized to participate in a Per-Peer
 Global Revocation.  The mobile access gateway SHOULD NOT retry
 sending a Binding Revocation Indication with the Global (G) bit set
 and the Revocation Trigger field value set to "Per-Peer Policy" to
 the same local mobility agent.  The mobile access gateway should
 raise an alarm or log an event to indicate this rejection.

10. Mobile Node Operation

 Upon receiving a packet carrying a Binding Revocation Indication, the
 mobile node MUST validate the packet according to Section 6.2 and the
 following tests:
 o  The mobile node MUST verify that the IP address in the Type 2
    routing header is its Home Address and that its Binding Update
    List contains an entry for that Home Address.  If one of the tests
    fails, the mobile node SHOULD silently discard the received
    Binding Revocation Indication message.
 o  If mobile node Binding Update List contains an entry for the IP
    address in the Type 2 routing header of the received Binding
    Revocation Indication packet, the mobile node MUST accept the BRI
    message using status code "success".
 o  If the IPv4 HoA Binding Only (V) bit is set in the received BRI
    message, the mobile node MUST verify that there is an IPv4 Home
    Address option in the received Binding Revocation Indication and

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 32] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

    the IPv4 address included in the IPv4 Home Address option is the
    same as its IPv4 HoA that is assigned to the mobile node.  If this
    verification is successful, the mobile node MUST consider this
    Binding Revocation Indication as an indication to ONLY release the
    mobile node IPv4 HoA binding to its current care-of address.
    Consequently, the mobile node MUST continue to maintain its IPv6
    HoA binding to the current CoA as part of the mobile node binding
    in the BUL entry and release all resources associated with the MN
    IPv4 HoA binding.  In this case, the mobile node MUST accept the
    Binding Revocation Indication message using status code "success".
    On the other hand, if the IPv4 Home Address Option was NOT
    included in the received BRI with the (V) bit is set, the MN MUST
    reject the BRI message with status code "IPv4 Home Address Option
    Required".  Additionally, if the IPv4 HoA received in the IPv4
    Home Address Option is NOT the one assigned to the mobile node,
    the mobile node SHOULD reject the Binding Revocation Indication
    with status code "Binding Does NOT Exist".
 o  The mobile node MUST verify that the (P) bit in the Binding
    Revocation Indication is NOT set.  If the (P) bit is set, the
    mobile node MUST reject the Binding Revocation Indication using
    status code "Proxy Binding Revocation NOT Supported".
 o  If the mobile node has registered multiple care-of addresses with
    its home agent, the mobile node MUST verify which binding is being
    revoked by examining the content of the Binding Revocation
    Indication message.  If the mobile node received a Binding
    Revocation Indication with one or more BID options and its home
    address is included in the Type 2 routing header, the mobile node
    MUST consider all of the care-of addresses bindings, identified in
    the BID options, with this home address as being revoked.  In this
    case, if the BRI validation is successful, the mobile node MUST
    accept the Binding Revocation Indication message with status code
    "success".
 o  If the mobile node has multiple care-of address bindings with its
    home agent and received a Binding Revocation Indication, without
    any BID option included and its home address was included in the
    Type 2 routing header, the mobile node MUST consider all of its
    registered care-of address bindings with this home address as
    being revoked.  If the mobile node validates the BRI successfully,
    the mobile node MUST accept the Binding Revocation Indication
    message with status code "success".
 If the mobile node accepts or rejects the Binding Revocation
 Indication message, the mobile node MUST follow Sections 6.1 and
 6.1.2 to send a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement message to the
 home agent.  Note that anytime the MN does not send a Binding

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 33] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

 Revocation Acknowledgement to a BRI, the initiator is likely to
 retransmit the BRI at least one time.  This causes additional load on
 the initiator who sends the retransmissions, as well as on the MN
 that will receive and process them.
 The Revocation Trigger field value in the received Binding Revocation
 Indication could be used by the mobile node to define what action the
 mobile node could do to be able to register again and receive its IP
 mobility service, e.g., contacting its home operator.

11. Protocol Configuration Variables

 Any mobility entity that is allowed to invoke the binding revocation
 procedure by sending a Binding Revocation Indication message SHOULD
 allow the following variables to be configured.
 BRI Maximum Number of Retries (BRIMaxRetriesNumber)
    This variable specifies the maximum Number of times a mobility
    entity can retransmit a Binding Revocation Indication message
    before receiving a Binding Revocation Acknowledgement message.
    The default value for this parameter is 1.
 Initial Minimum Delay Between BRI messages (InitMINDelayBRIs)
    This variable specifies the initial delay timeout in seconds
    before the revoking mobility entity retransmits a BRI message.
    The default is 1 second but is not to be configured to less than
    0.5 seconds.
 Maximum BRA TIMEOUT (MAX_BRACK_TIMEOUT)
    This variable specifies the maximum delay timeout in seconds
    before the revoking mobility entity retransmits a BRI message.
    The default is 2 seconds.

12. IANA Considerations

 This specification defines a new Binding Revocation Message using a
 new Mobility Header Type 16, as described in Section 5.  The new
 Mobility Header type value needs to be assigned from the same
 numbering space as allocated for the other Mobility Header types
 registry.
 This document also creates a new registry "Binding Revocation Type"
 that indicates the type of the binding revocation message.  The
 current binding revocation message types are described in Sections
 5.1 and 5.2, and are the following:

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 34] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

     0  Reserved
     1  Binding Revocation Indication
     2  Binding Revocation Acknowledgement
     All other values are unassigned
 Future values of the Binding Revocation Type can be allocated using
 Standards Action or IESG Approval [RFC5226].
 In addition, this document also creates a second new registry for the
 Revocation Trigger that indicates the reason behind sending the
 Binding Revocation Indication message.  The current Revocation
 Trigger values are described in Section 5.1, and are the following:
 Per-MN Revocation Trigger Values:
     0  Unspecified
     1  Administrative Reason
     2  Inter-MAG Handover - same Access Type
     3  Inter-MAG Handover - different Access Type
     4  Inter-MAG Handover - Unknown
     5  User-Initiated Session(s) Termination
     6  Access Network Session(s) Termination
     7  Possible Out-of-Sync BCE State
 Global Revocation Trigger Values:
     128  Per-Peer Policy
     129  Revoking Mobility Node Local Policy
 Reserved Revocation Trigger Values:
     250-255 Reserved For Testing Purposes only
     All other values are Unassigned
 Future values of the Revocation Trigger can be allocated using
 Standards Action or IESG Approval [RFC5226].
 Furthermore, this document creates a third new registry "Binding
 Revocation Acknowledgement Status Codes".  The current values are
 described in Section 5.2, and are the following:
       0  success
       1  partial success
     128  Binding Does NOT Exist
     129  IPv4 Home Address Option Required
     130  Global Revocation NOT Authorized
     131  Revoked Mobile Nodes Identity Required
     132  Revocation Failed - MN is Attached
     133  Revocation Trigger NOT Supported
     134  Revocation Function NOT Supported
     135  Proxy Binding Revocation NOT Supported

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 35] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

 Future values of the Status field can be allocated using Standards
 Action or IESG Approval [RFC5226].
 All fields labeled "Reserved" are only to be assigned through
 Standards Action or IESG Approval.

13. Security Considerations

 This specification allows the mobility node that initiates the
 binding revocation procedure to revoke a mobility session(s) that is
 currently registered with it.  It is NOT allowed for any mobility
 node to revoke a mobile node mobility session that is not registered
 with this mobility node.
 The binding revocation protocol described in this specification uses
 the same security association between the mobile node and the home
 agent or the mobile access gateway and the local mobility anchor that
 is being used to exchange the MIPv6 or PMIPv6 Binding Update and
 Binding Acknowledgement signaling.  If IPsec is used, the traffic
 selectors associated with the Security Policy Database (SPD) entry
 protecting the Binding Update and Binding Acknowledgement MUST be
 extended to include Binding Revocation Message MH type 16.  Extending
 the traffic selectors of the SPD entry in order to reuse the SA
 protecting the Binding Update and Binding Acknowledgement (instead of
 creating new ones) ensures that those SAs will be up and running when
 the revoking entity needs to send a binding revocation signaling
 message.
 On the other hand, if IPsec is not used as the underlying security
 mechanism to protect the Mobile IPv6 and its extensions binding
 registration signaling, the used underlying security mechanism MUST
 provide protection against all identified security threats as
 described under "Security Considerations" in [RFC3775] and [RFC5213].
 Since some mobility entities, e.g., local mobility anchor and mobile
 access gateway, are allowed to send and receive Binding Revocation
 Indications and Binding Revocation Acknowledgements for different
 cases, when IPsec is used to secure signaling between the local
 mobility anchor and mobile access gateway, it prevents any of them
 from processing a Binding Revocation Message that was not constructed
 by an authorized party.
 The Proxy Mobile IPv6 [RFC5213] requires the local mobility anchor to
 restrict the creation and manipulation of proxy bindings to
 specifically authorized mobile access gateways.  Therefore, the
 mobile access gateway that is authorized to create or manipulate the
 mobile node proxy BCE is also authorized to revoke such mobile node
 registration by sending a de-registration with lifetime of zero.

Muhanna, et al. Standards Track [Page 36] RFC 5846 Binding Revocation for IPv6 Mobility June 2010

 However, since bulk termination using Binding Revocation Indication
 with the Global (G) bit set and the Revocation Trigger field set to
 "Per-Peer Policy" impacts all mobility sessions that are registered
 with the mobile access gateway and its local mobility anchor peer,
 the local mobility anchor MUST be locally configurable to authorize
 such specific functionality.  Additional mechanisms, such as a policy
 store or Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) may be
 employed, but these are outside the scope of this specification.
