6. Application-Based Flow Information Visible to a Network

This section describes specific techniques used in monitoring applications that are visible to the network if a 5-tuple is exposed and as such can potentially be used as input for future network- management approaches. It also includes an overview of IP Flow Information Export (IPFIX), a flow-based protocol used to export information about network flows.

6.1. IP Flow Information Export

Many of the accounting, monitoring, and measurement tasks described in this document, especially in Sections 2.3.2, 3.1.1, 4.1.3, 4.2, and 5.2, use the IPFIX protocol [RFC7011] for export and storage of the monitored information. IPFIX evolved from the widely deployed NetFlow protocol [RFC3954], which exports information about flows identified by 5-tuple. While NetFlow was largely concerned with exporting per-flow byte and packet counts for accounting purposes, IPFIX's extensible Information Model [RFC7012] provides a variety of Information Elements (IEs) [IPFIX-IANA] for representing information above and below the traditional network-layer flow information. Enterprise-specific IEs allow exporter vendors to define their own non-standard IEs as well, and many of these are driven by header and payload inspection at the Metering Process. While the deployment of encryption has no direct effect on the use of IPFIX, certain defined IEs may become unavailable when the Metering Process observing the traffic cannot decrypt former cleartext information. For example, HTTPS renders HTTP header analysis impossible, so IEs derived from the header (e.g., httpContentType, httpUserAgent) cannot be exported. The collection of IPFIX data itself, of course, provides a point of centralization for information that is potentially business and privacy critical. The IPFIX File Format specification [RFC5655] recommends encryption for this data at rest, and the IP Flow Anonymization specification [RFC6235] defines a metadata format for describing the anonymization functions applied to an IPFIX dataset, if anonymization is employed for data sharing of IPFIX information between enterprises or network operators.

6.2. TLS Server Name Indication

When initiating the TLS handshake, the client may provide an extension field (server_name) that indicates the server to which it is attempting a secure connection. TLS SNI was standardized in 2003 to enable servers to present the "correct TLS certificate" to clients in a deployment of multiple virtual servers hosted by the same server
Top   ToC   RFC8404 - Page 41
   infrastructure and IP address.  Although this is an optional
   extension, it is today supported by all modern browsers, web servers,
   and developer libraries.  Akamai [Nygren] reports that many of their
   customers see client TLS SNI usage over 99%.  It should be noted that
   HTTP/2 introduces the Alt-SVC method for upgrading the connection
   from HTTP/1 to either unencrypted or encrypted HTTP/2.  If the
   initial HTTP/1 request is unencrypted, the destination alternate
   service name can be identified before the communication is
   potentially upgraded to encrypted HTTP/2 transport.  HTTP/2 requires
   the TLS implementation to support the SNI extension (see Section 9.2
   of [RFC7540]).  It is also worth noting that [RFC7838] "allows an
   origin server to nominate additional means of interacting with it on
   the network", while [RFC8164] allows for a URI to be accessed with
   HTTP/2 and TLS using Opportunistic Security (on an experimental
   basis).

   This information is only available if the client populates the SNI
   extension.  Doing so is an optional part of the TLS standard, and as
   stated above, this has been implemented by all major browsers.  Due
   to its optional nature, though, existing network filters that examine
   a TLS ClientHello for an SNI extension cannot expect to always find
   one.  "SNI Encryption in TLS Through Tunneling" [SNI-TLS] has been
   adopted by the TLS Working Group, which provides solutions to encrypt
   SNI.  As such, there will be an option to encrypt SNI in future
   versions of TLS.  The per-domain nature of SNI may not reveal the
   specific service or media type being accessed, especially where the
   domain is of a provider offering a range of email, video, web pages,
   etc.  For example, certain blog or social network feeds may be deemed
   "adult content", but the SNI will only indicate the server domain
   rather than a URL path.

   There are additional issues for identification of content using SNI:
   [RFC7540] includes connection coalescing, [RFC8336] defines the
   ORIGIN frame, and the proposal outlined in [HTTP2-CERTS] will
   increase the difficulty of passive monitoring.

6.3. Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN)

ALPN is a TLS extension that may be used to indicate the application protocol within the TLS session. This is likely to be of more value to the network where it indicates a protocol dedicated to a particular traffic type (such as video streaming) rather than a multi-use protocol. ALPN is used as part of HTTP/2 'h2', but will not indicate the traffic types that may make up streams within an HTTP/2 multiplex. ALPN is sent cleartext in the ClientHello, and the server returns it in Encrypted Extensions in TLS 1.3.
Top   ToC   RFC8404 - Page 42

6.4. Content Length, Bitrate, and Pacing

The content length of encrypted traffic is effectively the same as that of the cleartext. Although block ciphers utilize padding, this makes a negligible difference. Bitrate and pacing are generally application specific and do not change much when the content is encrypted. Multiplexed formats (such as HTTP/2 and QUIC [QUIC]) may, however, incorporate several application streams over one connection, which makes the bitrate/pacing no longer application specific. Also, packet padding is available in HTTP/2, TLS 1.3, and many other protocols. Traffic analysis is made more difficult by such countermeasures.

7. Effect of Encryption on the Evolution of Mobile Networks

Transport header encryption prevents the use of transit proxies in the center of the network and the use of some edge proxies by preventing the proxies from taking action on the stream. It may be that the claimed benefits of such proxies could be achieved by end-to-end client and server optimizations, distribution using CDNs, plus the ability to continue connections across different access technologies (across dynamic user IP addresses). The following aspects should be considered in this approach: 1. In a wireless mobile network, the delay and channel capacity per user and sector varies due to coverage, contention, user mobility, scheduling balances fairness, capacity, and service QoE. If most users are at the cell edge, the controller cannot use more-complex Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), thus reducing total cell capacity; similarly, if a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) edge is serving some number of CS-Voice Calls, the remaining capacity for packet services is reduced. 2. Mobile wireless networks service inbound roamers (users of Operator A in the foreign network of Operator B) by backhauling their traffic through the network (from Operator B to Operator A) and then serving them through the P-Gateway (PGW), General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) Support Node (GGSN), CDN, etc., of Operator A (the user's home operator). Increasing window sizes to compensate for the path RTT will have the limitations outlined earlier for TCP. The outbound roamer scenario has a similar TCP performance impact. 3. Issues in deploying CDNs in Radio Access Networks (RANs) include decreasing the client-server control loop that requires deploying CDNs / Cloud functions that terminate encryption closer to the edge. In Cellular RAN, the user IP traffic is encapsulated into
Top   ToC   RFC8404 - Page 43
       GPRS Tunneling Protocol-User Plane (GTP-U in UMTS and LTE)
       tunnels to handle user mobility; the tunnels terminate in
       APN/GGSN/PGW that are in central locations.  One user's traffic
       may flow through one or more APN's (for example, Internet APN,
       Roaming APN for Operator X, Video-Service APN, OnDeckAPN, etc.).
       The scope of operator private IP addresses may be limited to
       specific APNs.  Since CDNs generally operate on user IP flows,
       deploying them would require enhancing them with tunnel
       translation, tunnel-management functions, etc.

   4.  While CDNs that decrypt flows or split connection proxies
       (similar to split TCP) could be deployed closer to the edges to
       reduce control-loop RTT, with transport header encryption, such
       CDNs perform optimization functions only for partner client
       flows.  Therefore, content from some Small-Medium Businesses
       (SMBs) would not get such CDN benefits.

8. Response to Increased Encryption and Looking Forward

As stated in [RFC7258], "an appropriate balance [between network management and pervasive monitoring mitigations] will emerge over time as real instances of this tension are considered." Numerous operators made it clear in their response to this document that they fully support strong encryption and providing privacy for end users; this is a common goal. Operators recognize that not all the practices documented need to be supported going forward, either because of the risk to end-user privacy or because alternate technologies and tools have already emerged. This document is intended to support network engineers and other innovators to work toward solving network and security management problems with protocol designers and application developers in new ways that facilitate adoption of strong encryption rather than preventing the use of encryption. By having the discussions on network and security management practices with application developers and protocol designers, each side of the debate can understand each other's goals, work toward alternate solutions, and disband with practices that should no longer be supported. A goal of this document is to assist the IETF in understanding some of the current practices so as to identify new work items for IETF-related use cases that can facilitate the adoption of strong session encryption and support network and security management.

9. Security Considerations

There are no additional security considerations as this is a summary and does not include a new protocol or functionality.
