RFCv3-8676

1. Introduction

The IETF Softwire Working Group has developed several IPv4-in-IPv6 softwire mechanisms to address various deployment contexts and constraints. As a companion to the architectural specification documents, this document focuses on the provisioning of Address plus Port (A+P) softwire functional elements: Border Routers (BRs) and Customer Edge (CE) (called "Customer Premises Equipment (CPE)" in [RFC 7596]). The softwire mechanisms covered in this document are Lightweight 4over6 (lw4o6) [RFC 7596], Mapping of Address and Port with Encapsulation (MAP-E) [RFC 7597], and Mapping of Address and Port using Translation (MAP-T) [RFC 7599].

This document focuses on A+P mechanisms [RFC 6346]; the reader can refer to [RFC 8513] for a YANG module for Dual-Stack Lite (DS-Lite) [RFC 6333].

This document defines YANG modules [RFC 7950] that can be used to configure and manage A+P softwire elements using the NETCONF [RFC 6241] or RESTCONF [RFC 8040] protocols for:

Configuration

Operational State

Notifications

RFCv3-8676

2. Terminology

The reader should be familiar with the concepts and terms defined in [RFC 7596], [RFC 7597], [RFC 7599], and the YANG data modeling language defined in [RFC 7950].

The YANG modules in this document adopt the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) [RFC 8342]. The meanings of the symbols used in tree diagrams are defined in [RFC 8340].

The document uses the abbreviation 'BR' as a general term for softwire tunnel concentrators, including both MAP Border Routers [RFC 7597] and Lightweight 4over6 lwAFTRs [RFC 7596].

For brevity, "algorithm" is used to refer to the "mapping algorithm" defined in [RFC 7597].

A network element may support one or multiple instances of a softwire mechanism; each of these instances (i.e., binding instances, MAP-E instances, or MAP-T instances) may have its own configuration and parameters. The term 'algo-instance' is used to denote both MAP-E and MAP-T instances.

RFCv3-8676

3. Overview of the Modules

3.1. Overall Structure

The document defines the following two YANG modules for the configuration and monitoring of softwire functional elements:

ietf-softwire-ce

Provides configuration and monitoring for softwire CE element. This module is defined as augments to the interface YANG module [RFC 8343].

ietf-softwire-br

Provides configuration and monitoring for softwire BR element.

In addition, the following module is defined:

ietf-softwire-common

Contains groups of common functions that are imported into the CE and BR modules.

This approach has been taken so that the various modules can be easily extended to support additional softwire mechanisms, if required.

Within the BR and CE modules, the YANG "feature" statement is used to distinguish which of the different softwire mechanism(s) is relevant for a specific element's configuration. For each module, a choice statement 'ce-type' is included for either 'binding' or 'algorithm'. 'Binding' is used for configuring Lightweight 4over6, whereas 'algorithm' is used for configuring MAP-T or MAP-E.

In the 'algo-instances' container, a choice statement 'data-plane' is included to specify MAP-E (encapsulation) or MAP-T (translation). Table 1 shows how these choices are used to indicate the desired softwire mechanism:

S46 Mechanism	ce-type?	data-plane?
Lightweight 4over6	binding	n/a
MAP-E	algorithm	encapsulation
MAP-T	algorithm	translation

Table 1: Softwire Mechanism Choice Statement Enumeration

NETCONF notifications are also included.

3.2. Configuration for Additional Components

The softwire modules only aim to provide configuration relevant for softwires. In order to fully provision a CE element, the following may also be necessary:

IPv6 forwarding and routing configuration, to enable the CE to obtain one or more IPv6 prefixes for softwire usage. A YANG module for routing management is described in [RFC 8349].

IPv4 routing configuration, to add one or more IPv4 destination prefix(es) reachable via the configured softwire. A YANG module for routing management is described in [RFC 8349].

Stateful NAT44/NAPT management, to optionally specify a port set (Port Set Identifier (PSID)) along with its length. A YANG module for NAT management is described in [RFC 8512].

Stateless NAT46 management, which is required by softwire-translation-based mechanisms (i.e., the assignment of a Network-Specific Prefix to use for IPv4/IPv6 translation). A YANG module for NAT management is described in [RFC 8512].

As YANG modules for the above functions are already defined in other documents, their functionality is not duplicated here and they should be referred to, as needed. Appendix A.3 provides XML examples of how these modules can be used together.

The CE must already have minimal IPv6 configuration in place so it is reachable by the NETCONF client to obtain softwire configuration. If additional IPv6-specific configuration is necessary, the YANG modules defined in [RFC 8344] and [RFC 8349] may be used.

4. Softwire CE YANG Tree Diagram

4.1. CE Tree Diagram

The CE module provides configuration and monitoring for all of the softwire mechanisms covered in this document (i.e., Lightweight 4over6, MAP-E, and MAP-T).

This module augments "ietf-interfaces", defined in [RFC 8343] with an entry for the softwire. This entry can be referenced to configure IPv4 forwarding features for the element. This entry is added only if tunnel type (Section 10) is set to 'aplusp'.

Figure 1 shows the tree structure of the softwire CE YANG module:

4.2. Softwire CE Tree Diagram Description

Additional information related to the operation of a CE element is provided below:

softwire-payload-mtu:

optionally used to set the IPv4 Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) for the softwire. Needed if the softwire implementation is unable to correctly calculate the correct IPv4 MTU size automatically.

softwire-path-mru:

optionally used to set the maximum IPv6 softwire packet size that can be received, including the encapsulation/translation overhead. Needed if the softwire implementation is unable to correctly calculate the correct IPv4 payload Maximum Receive Unit (MRU) size automatically (see Section 3.2 of RFC 4213).

ce-type:

provides a choice statement allowing the binding or algorithmic softwire mechanisms to be selected.

Further details relevant to binding softwire elements are as follows:

binding-ipv6info:

used to set the IPv6 binding prefix type to identify which IPv6 address to use as the tunnel source. It can be 'ipv6-prefix' or 'ipv6-address'.

br-ipv6-addr:

sets the IPv6 address of the remote BR.

Additional details relevant to some of the important algorithmic elements are provided below:

algo-versioning:

optionally used to associate a version number and/or timestamp to the algorithm. This can be used for logging/data retention purposes [RFC 7422]. The version number is selected to uniquely identify the algorithm configuration and a new value written whenever a change is made to the algorithm or a new algo-instance is created.

forwarding:

specifies whether the rule can be used as a Forwarding Mapping Rule (FMR). If not set, this rule is a Basic Mapping Rule (BMR) only and must not be used for forwarding. Refer to Section 4.1 of RFC 7598.

ea-len:

used to set the length of the Embedded-Address (EA), which is defined in the mapping rule for a MAP domain.

data-plane:

provides a choice statement for either encapsulation (MAP-E) or translation (MAP-T).

br-ipv6-addr:

defines the IPv6 address of the BR. This information is valid for MAP-E.

dmr-ipv6-prefix:

defines the Default Mapping Rule (DMR) IPv6 prefix of the BR. This information is valid for MAP-T.

Additional information on the notification node is listed below:

ce-binding-ipv6-addr-change:

if the CE's binding IPv6 address changes for any reason, the NETCONF client will be notified.

5.2. Softwire BR Tree Diagram Description

The descriptions for leaves that are common with the CE module are provided in Section 4.2. Descriptions for additional elements are provided below:

binding-table-versioning:

optionally used to associate a version number and/or timestamp to the binding table. This can be used for logging or data retention purposes [RFC 7422]. The version number is selected to uniquely identify the binding table configuration and a new timestamp value written whenever a change is made to the contents of the binding table or a new binding table list is created.

binding-entry:

used to define the binding relationship between 3-tuples {lwB4's IPv6 address/prefix, the allocated IPv4 address, restricted port-set}. For detailed information, please refer to [RFC 7596].

softwire-num-max:

used to set the maximum number of softwire binding rules that can be created on the lw4o6 element simultaneously. This parameter must not be set to zero because this is equivalent to disabling the BR instance.

active-softwire-num:

holds the number of softwires currently provisioned on the BR element.

Additional information on some of the important notification nodes is listed below:

invalid-entry, added-entry, modified-entry:

used to notify the NETCONF client that a specific binding entry or MAP rule has expired, been invalidated, added, or modified.

RFCv3-8676

9. Security Considerations

The YANG modules defined in this document are designed to be accessed via network management protocols such as NETCONF [RFC 6241] or RESTCONF [RFC 8040]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is Secure Shell (SSH) [RFC 6242]. The lowest RESTCONF layer is HTTPS, and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is TLS [RFC 8446].

The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC 8341] provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF or RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or RESTCONF protocol operations and content.

All data nodes defined in the YANG modules which can be created, modified, and deleted (i.e., config true, which is the default) are considered sensitive. Write operations (e.g., edit-config) to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations. An attacker who is able to access the BR can undertake various attacks, such as:

Setting the value of 'br-ipv6-addr' on the CE to point to an illegitimate BR so that it can intercept all the traffic sent by a CE. Illegitimately intercepting users' traffic is an attack with severe implications on privacy.

Setting the MTU to a low value, which may increase the number of fragments ('softwire-payload-mtu').

Disabling hairpinning (i.e., setting 'enable-hairpinning' to 'false') to prevent communications between CEs.

Setting 'softwire-num-max' to an arbitrary high value, which may be exploited by a misbehaving user to perform a DoS on the binding BR by mounting a massive number of softwires.

Setting 'icmpv4-rate' or 'icmpv6-rate' to a low value, which may lead to the deactivation of ICMP messages handling.

Instructing the BR to install entries, which, in turn, will induce a DDoS attack by means of the notifications generated by the BR. This DDoS can be softened by defining a notification interval, but given that this interval parameter can be disabled or set to a low value by the misbehaving entity, the same problem will be observed.

Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or notification) to these data nodes. These subtrees and data nodes can be misused to track the activity of a host:

the binding Table (/br-instances/binding/bind-instance/binding-table)

the algorithm configuration (/br-instances/algorithm/algo-instance/)

Security considerations related to lw4o6, MAP-T, and MAP-E are discussed in [RFC 7596], [RFC 7597], and [RFC 7599] respectively.

Security considerations given in [RFC 7950] are also applicable here.

RFCv3-8676

Appendix A. Configuration Examples

The following sections provide examples of how the softwire YANG modules can be used for configuring softwire elements.

A.1. Configuration Example for a lw4o6 BR Binding-Table

The lwAFTR maintains an address binding table that contains the following 3-tuples:

IPv6 Address for a single lwB4

Public IPv4 Address

Restricted port-set

The entry has two functions: the IPv6 encapsulation of inbound IPv4 packets destined to the lwB4 and the validation of outbound IPv4-in-IPv6 packets received from the lwB4 for decapsulation.

Consider an example for the following lw4o6 binding table entry:

lwB4 Binding IPv6 Address:: 2001:db8::1
lwB4 Binding IPv4 Address:: 192.0.2.1
lwB4 PSID:: 0x34
lwB4 PSID Length: 8
BR IPv6 Address:: 2001:db8:1::2

    <br-instances>
      <binding>
          <bind-instance>
            <name>mybinding-instance</name>
            <binding-table>
              <binding-entry>
                <binding-ipv6info>2001:db8::1</binding-ipv6info>
                <binding-ipv4-addr>192.0.2.1</binding-ipv4-addr>
                <port-set>
                  <psid>52</psid>
                  <psid-len>8</psid-len>
                </port-set>
                <br-ipv6-addr>2001:db8:1::2</br-ipv6-addr>
              </binding-entry>
            </binding-table>
            <softwire-num-max>1024</softwire-num-max>
            <softwire-path-mru>1540</softwire-path-mru>
            <softwire-payload-mtu>1500</softwire-payload-mtu>
          </bind-instance>
      </binding>
    </br-instances>

A.2. Configuration Example for a MAP-E BR

A MAP-E BR is configured with forward mapping rules for the CEs it is serving. In this example (taken from [RFC 7597], Appendix A, Example 2), the following parameters are required:

Rule IPv6 Prefix

Rule IPv4 Prefix

Rule EA-bit bit length

IPv6 Address of MAP-BR

The mapping rule has two functions: identifying the destination CE IPv6 address for encapsulating inbound IPv4 packets and the validation of outbound IPv4-in-IPv6 packets received from the CE for de-capsulation.

The transport type for the data plane also needs to be configured for encapsulation to enable MAP-E and forwarding needs to be enabled.

Consider an example for the following MAP-E Forwarding Mapping Rule:

Data plane:: encapsulation
Rule IPv6 Prefix:: 2001:db8::/40
Rule IPv4 Prefix:: 192.0.2.0/24
Rule EA-bit Length:: 16
BR IPv6 Address:: 2001:db8:ffff::1

Figure 4 provides the example MAP-E BR configuration xml.

    <br-instances>
      <algorithm>
        <algo-instance>
          <name>myalgo-instance</name>
          <encapsulation>
            <br-ipv6-addr>2001:db8:ffff::1</br-ipv6-addr>
          </encapsulation>
          <ea-len>16</ea-len>
          <rule-ipv4-prefix>192.0.2.0/24</rule-ipv4-prefix>
          <rule-ipv6-prefix>2001:db8::/40</rule-ipv6-prefix>
          <forwarding>true</forwarding>
          <port-set>
            <psid-offset>6</psid-offset>
            <psid-len>8</psid-len>
          </port-set>
        </algo-instance>
      </algorithm>
    </br-instances>

A.3. lw4o6 CE Configuration Example

This section provides XML examples for configuring a lw4o6 CE. Examples for routing and NAT44 are also provided for convenience.

Consider an example for the following lw4o6 CE configuration:

lwB4 Binding IPv6 Address:: 2001:db8::1
lwB4 Binding IPv4 Address:: 192.0.2.1
lwB4 PSID:: 0x34
lwB4 PSID Length: 8
BR IPv6 Address:: 2001:db8:1::2

<config xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
  <interfaces xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-interfaces">
    <interface>
      <name>lw4o6-wan</name>
      <type>iana-tunnel-type:aplusp</type>
      <br-ipv6-addr
        xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-softwire-ce">
        2001:db8:1::2
      </br-ipv6-addr>
      <binding-ipv6info
        xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-softwire-ce">
        2001:db8::1
      </binding-ipv6info>
    </interface>
  </interfaces>
</config>

Figure 5: lw4o6 CE Configuration XML

In the example depicted in Figure 5, the interface name is defined for the softwire tunnel. This name is then referenced by the routing configuration for the IPv4 route. Figure 6 provides an example configuration for the CE's IPv4 routing using the YANG module described in [RFC 8349].

<config xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
  <routing xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-routing">
    <control-plane-protocols>
      <control-plane-protocol>

        <static-routes>
          <ipv4
          xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-ipv4-unicas\
          t-routing">
            <route>
              <destination-prefix>0.0.0.0/0</destination-prefix>
              <next-hop>
                <outgoing-interface>lw4o6-wan</outgoing-interface>
              </next-hop>
            </route>
          </ipv4>
        </static-routes>
      </control-plane-protocol>
    </control-plane-protocols>
  </routing>
</config>
