           Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) Multipath Options

Abstract

 This specification defines extensions to the Proxy Mobile IPv6
 (PMIPv6) protocol that allow a mobile access gateway (MAG) to
 register more than one proxy care-of address (pCoA) with the local
 mobility anchor (LMA) and to simultaneously establish multiple IP
 tunnels with the LMA.  This capability allows the MAG to utilize all
 the available access networks to route the mobile node's IP traffic.
 This document defines the following two new mobility header options:
 the MAG Multipath Binding option and the MAG Identifier option.

1. Introduction

 Multihoming support on IP hosts can greatly improve the user
 experience.  With the simultaneous use of multiple access networks,
 multihoming brings better network connectivity, reliability, and
 improved quality of communication.  The following are some of the
 goals and benefits of multihoming support:
 o  Redundancy/Fault-Recovery
 o  Load balancing
 o  Load sharing
 o  Preference settings
 According to [RFC4908], users of small-scale networks can benefit
 from a mobile and fixed multihomed architecture using mobile IP
 [RFC6275] and Network Mobility (NEMO) [RFC3963].
 The motivation for this work is to extend the PMIPv6 protocol with
 multihoming extensions [RFC4908] for realizing the following
 capabilities:
 o  Using GRE as mobile tunneling, possibly with its key extension
    [RFC5845].
 o  Using UDP encapsulation [RFC5844] in order to support NAT
    traversal in an IPv4 networking environment.
 o  Using the prefix delegation mechanism [RFC7148].
 o  Using the Vendor Specific Mobility Option [RFC5094], for example,
    to allow the MAG and LMA to exchange information (e.g., WAN
    interface QoS metrics), which allows the appropriate traffic-
    steering decisions to be made.
 PMIPv6 relies on two mobility entities: the MAG, which acts as the
 default gateway for the end node (either a mobile or a fixed node)
 attached to the MAG's access links, and the LMA, which acts as the
 topological anchor point.  IP tunnel is created with any one of the
 supported encapsulation mode between the MAG and the LMA.  Then, the
 MAG and LMA distribute the end node's traffic over these tunnels.
 All PMIPv6 operations are performed on behalf of the end node and its
 correspondent node.  Thus, it makes PMIPv6 well adapted to multihomed
 architecture as considered in [RFC4908].  Taking the LTE and WLAN
 networking environments as examples, the PMIPv6-based multihomed
 architecture is depicted in Figure 1.  In this example, IP flows,

Seite, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 8278 MAG Multipath Binding Options January 2018

 Flow-1 and Flow-3 are routed over Tunnel-1 and Flow-2 is routed over
 Tunnel-2.  However, IP traffic belonging to Flow-4 is distributed on
 both Tunnel-1 and Tunnel-2 paths.

           Figure 1: Multihomed MAG Using Proxy Mobile IPv6
 The current version of PMIPv6 does not allow a MAG to register more
 than one pCoA to the LMA.  In other words, only one MAG/LMA link,
 i.e., IP-in-IP tunnel, can be used at the same time.  This document
 overcomes this limitation by defining the multiple pCoAs extension
 for PMIPv6.

3. Overview

3.1. Example Call Flow

 Figure 2 is the call flow detailing multi-access support with PMIPv6.
 The MAG in this example scenario is equipped with both WLAN and LTE
 interfaces and is also configured with the multihoming functionality.
 The steps of the call flow are as follows:
 Steps (1) and (2): The MAG attaches to both WLAN and LTE networks.
 Then, the MAG obtains two different pCoAs, respectfully.
 Step (3): The MAG sends, over the LTE access, a Proxy Binding Update
 (PBU) message with the new MAG Multipath Binding (MMB) and MAG
 Network Access Identifier (MAG-NAI) options to the LMA.  The request
 can be for a physical mobile node attached to the MAG or for a
 logical mobile node configured on the mobile access gateway.  A
 logical mobile node is a logical representation of a mobile node in
 the form of a configuration that is always enabled on the MAG.  The
 mobility session that is created (i.e., create a Binding Cache Entry
 (BCE)) on the LMA will be marked with multipath support.
 Step (4): The LMA sends back a Proxy Binding Acknowledgement (PBA)
 including the Home Network Prefix (HNP) and other session parameters
 allocated for that mobility session.
 Step (5): IP tunnel is created between the MAG and the LMA over LTE
 access with any one of the supported encapsulation modes.
 Steps (6) to (8): The MAG repeats steps (3) to (5) on the WLAN
 access.  The MAG includes the HNP, received on step (4) in the PBU.
 The LMA updates its binding cache by creating a new mobility session
 for this MAG.
 Steps (9) and (10): The IP hosts MN_1 and MN_2 are assigned IP
 addresses from the mobile network prefix delegated to the MAG by the
 LMA.

3.2. Traffic Distribution Schemes

 When the MAG has registered a multipath binding with the LMA, there
 will be multiple established overlay tunnels between them.  The MAG
 and the LMA can use any one, or more, of the available tunnel paths
 for routing the mobile node's IP traffic.  This specification does
 not recommend or define any specific traffic distribution scheme.
 However, it identifies two well-known approaches that implementations
 can potentially use.  These approaches are per-flow and per-packet
 traffic distribution schemes.

Seite, et al. Standards Track [Page 6] RFC 8278 MAG Multipath Binding Options January 2018

 Per-Flow Traffic Distribution:
 o  In this approach, the MAG and the LMA associate each of the IP
    flows (upstream and downstream) with a specific tunnel path.  The
    packets in a given IP flow are always routed on the same overlay
    tunnel path; they are never split and routed concurrently on more
    than one tunnel path.  It is possible for a given flow to be moved
    from one tunnel path to another, but the flow is never split.  The
    decision to bind a given IP flow to a specific tunnel path is
    based on the traffic distribution policy.  This traffic
    distribution policy is either statically configured on both the
    MAG and the LMA or dynamically negotiated over PMIPv6 signaling.
    The Flow Binding extension [RFC6089] and Traffic Selectors for
    Flow Bindings [RFC6088] define the mechanism and the semantics for
    exchanging the traffic policy between two tunnel peers; the same
    mechanism and the mobility options are used here.
 Per-Packet Traffic Distribution:
 o  In this approach, packets belonging to a given IP flow will be
    split and routed across more than one tunnel path.  The exact
    approach for traffic distribution or the distribution weights is
    outside the scope of this specification.  In a very simplistic
    approach, assuming that the established tunnel paths have
    symmetric characteristics, the packets can be equally distributed
    on all the available tunnel paths.  In a different scenario, when
    the links have different speeds, the chosen approach can be based
    on weighted distribution (e.g., n:m ratio).  However, in any of
    these chosen approaches, implementations have to be sensitive to
    issues related to asymmetric link characteristics and the
    resulting issues such as reordering, buffering, and the impact on
    application performance.  Care must be taken to ensure that there
    is no negative impact on the application performance due to the
    use of this approach.

4. Protocol Extensions

4.1. MAG Multipath Binding Option

 The MAG Multipath Binding option is a new mobility header option
 defined for use with PBU and PBA messages exchanged between the LMA
 and the MAG.
 This mobility header option is used for requesting multipath support.
 It indicates that the MAG is requesting that the LMA register the
 current CoA associated with the request as one of the many CoAs

Seite, et al. Standards Track [Page 7] RFC 8278 MAG Multipath Binding Options January 2018

 through which the MAG can be reached.  It is also used for carrying
 the information related to the access network associated with the
 CoA.
 The MAG Multipath Binding option does not have any alignment
 requirement.  Its format is as shown in Figure 3:
 0                   1                   2                   3

                Figure 3: MAG Multipath Binding Option
 Type
    Type: MAG Multipath Binding (63)
 Length
    8-bit unsigned integer indicating the length of the option in
    octets, excluding the Type and Length fields.
 Interface Access-Technology Type (If-ATT)
    This 8-bit field identifies the Access-Technology type of the
    interface through which the mobile node is connected.  The
    permitted values for this are from the Access Technology Type
    registry <https://www.iana.org/assignments/mobility-parameters/>
    defined in [RFC5213].
 Interface Label (If-Label)
    This 8-bit unsigned integer represents the interface label.
    The interface label is an identifier configured on the WAN
    interface of the MAG.  All the WAN interfaces of the MAG that are
    used for sending PBU messages are configured with a label.  The
    labels merely identify the type of WAN interface and are primarily
    used in application-routing policies.  For example, a Wi-Fi
    interface can be configured with a label "9" and an LTE interface
    with a label "11".  Furthermore, the same label may be configured
    on two WAN interfaces of similar characteristics (e.g., two
    Ethernet interfaces with the same label).

Seite, et al. Standards Track [Page 8] RFC 8278 MAG Multipath Binding Options January 2018

    Interface labels are signaled from the MAG to the LMA in the PBU
    messages and both the LMA and MAG will be able to mark each of the
    dynamically created Binding/Tunnel with the associated label.
    These labels are used in generating consistent application-routing
    rules on the both the LMA and the MAG.  For example, there can be
    a policy requiring HTTP packets to be routed over an interface
    that has the interface label of "9", and if any of the interfaces
    with interface label "9" are not available, the traffic needs to
    be routed over the interface with the interface label "11".  The
    MAG and the LMA will be able to apply this routing rule with the
    exchange of interface labels in PBU messages and by associating
    the application flows to tunnels with the matching interface
    labels.
 Binding Identifier (BID)
    This 8-bit unsigned integer is used for identifying the binding.
    The permitted values are 1 through 254.  The values 0 and 255 are
    reserved.
    The MAG identifies each of the mobile node's bindings with a
    unique identifier.  The MAG includes the identifier in the PBU
    message; when the PBU request is accepted by the LMA, the
    resulting binding is associated with this BID in the mobile node's
    Binding Cache entry.
 Bulk Re-registration Flag (B)
    If set to a value of (1), this flag notifies the LMA to consider
    this as a request to update the binding lifetime of all the mobile
    node's bindings upon accepting this specific request.  The (B)
    flag MUST NOT be set to a value of (1) if the value of the
    Registration Overwrite (O) flag is set to a value of (1).
 Registration Overwrite (O)
    This flag, if set to a value of (1), notifies the LMA that upon
    accepting this request, it should replace all of the mobile node's
    existing bindings with this binding.  This flag MUST NOT be set to
    a value of (1) if the value of the Bulk Re-registration Flag (B)
    is set to a value of (1).  This flag MUST be set to a value of (0)
    in De-Registration requests.
 Reserved
    This field is unused in this specification.  The value MUST be set
    to zero (0) by the sender and MUST be ignored by the receiver.

4.2. MAG Identifier Option

 The MAG Identifier option is a new mobility header option defined for
 use with PBU and PBA messages exchanged between the LMA and the MAG.
 This mobility header option is used for conveying the MAG's identity.
 This option does not have any alignment requirements.

4.3. New Status Code for Proxy Binding Acknowledgement

 This document defines the following new Status Code value for use in
 PBA messages.
 The LMA SHOULD use this error code when rejecting a PBU message from
 a MAG requesting a multipath binding.  The following is the potential
 reason for rejecting the request:
 o  The LMA does not support multipath binding.
 CANNOT_SUPPORT_MULTIPATH_BINDING (Cannot Support Multipath Binding):
 180

4.4. Signaling Considerations

 o  The MAG, when requesting multipath support, MUST include the MAG
    Multipath Binding option (Section 4.1) in each of the PBU messages
    that it sends through the different WAN interfaces.  The inclusion
    of this option serves as a hint that the MAG is requesting
    multipath support.  Furthermore, the MAG Identifier option MUST
    also be present in the PBU message.
 o  If the MAG is aware that the LMA supports the multipath binding
    option defined in this specification and if it chooses to use
    multiple paths, then it can send the PBU packets for each of the
    paths, either sequentially or concurrently.  However, if the MAG
    is not aware of the LMA capability, then it SHOULD first discover
    the LMA capability by sending PBU packets with multipath on only
    one path first.  This will ensure that the LMA will not be
    overwriting the binding of one path with the other path.
 o  If the LMA supports multipath capability as defined in this
    specification and if it enables the same for a mobile node's
    session per the MAG's request, then the LMA MUST include the
    Multipath Binding option (Section 4.1) without the MAG-NAI option
    (Section 4.2) in the corresponding PBA reply.
 o  If the LMA is a legacy LMA that does not support this
    specification, the LMA will skip the MAG Multipath Binding option
    (and MAG-NAI option) and process the rest of the message as
    specified in the base PMIPv6 specification ([RFC5213]).
    Furthermore, the LMA will not include the MAG Multipath Binding
    option (or the MAG-NAI option) in the PBA message.  The MAG, upon
    receiving the PBA message without the MAG Multipath Binding
    option, SHOULD disable multipath support for the mobile node.

Seite, et al. Standards Track [Page 11] RFC 8278 MAG Multipath Binding Options January 2018

 o  If the mobile node is not authorized for multipath support, then
    the LMA will reject the request by sending a PBA message with the
    Status field value set to CANNOT_SUPPORT_MULTIPATH_BINDING
    (Section 4.3).  The LMA MUST echo the MAG Multipath Binding option
    (without the MAG-NAI option) in the PBA message.  The MAG, upon
    receiving this message, SHOULD disable multipath support for the
    mobile node.

5. IANA Considerations

 This specification defines a new mobility option: the MAG Multipath
 Binding option.  The format of this option is described in
 Section 4.1.  The type value 63 has been allocated for this mobility
 option from the "Mobility Options" registry at
 <http://www.iana.org/assignments/mobility-parameters>.
 This specification defines a new mobility option: the MAG Identifier
 option.  The format of this option is described in Section 4.2.  The
 type value 64 has been allocated for this mobility option from the
 "Mobility Options" registry at <http://www.iana.org/assignments/
 mobility-parameters>.
 This document defines a new status value:
 CANNOT_SUPPORT_MULTIPATH_BINDING (180) for use in PBA messages, as
 described in Section 4.3.  This value has been assigned from the
 "Status Codes" registry at <http://www.iana.org/assignments/mobility-
 parameters>.

6. Security Considerations

 This specification allows a MAG to establish multiple PMIPv6 tunnels
 with an LMA by registering a care-of address for each of its
 connected access networks.  This essentially allows the mobile node's
 IP traffic to be routed through any of the tunnel paths based on the
 negotiated flow policy.  This new capability has no impact on the
 protocol security.  Furthermore, this specification defines two new
 mobility header options: the MAG Multipath Binding option and the MAG
 Identifier option.  These options are carried like any other mobility
 header option as specified in [RFC5213].  Therefore, it inherits
 security guidelines from [RFC5213].  Thus, this specification does
 not weaken the security of the PMIPv6 Protocol and does not introduce
 any new security vulnerabilities.
