Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 7753 PCP PORT_SET February 2016 1. Introduction This document extends the Port Control Protocol (PCP) [RFC6887] with the ability to retrieve a set of ports using a single request. It does so by defining a new PORT_SET option. This section describes a few of the possible envisioned use cases. Note that the PCP extension defined in this document is generic and is expected to be applicable to other use cases. 1.1. Applications Using Port Sets Some applications require not just one port, but a port set. One example is a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) User Agent Server (UAS) [RFC3261] expecting to handle multiple concurrent calls, including media termination. When the UAS receives a call, it needs to signal media port numbers to its peer. Generating individual PCP MAP requests for each of the media ports during call setup would introduce unwanted latency and increased signaling load. Instead, the server can pre-allocate a set of ports such that no PCP exchange is needed during call setup. 1.2. Lightweight 4over6 In the Lightweight 4over6 (lw4o6) [RFC7596] architecture, shared global addresses can be allocated to customers. This allows moving the Network Address Translation (NAT) function, otherwise accomplished by a Carrier-Grade NAT (CGN) [RFC6888], to the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). This provides more control over the NAT function to the user, and more scalability to the Internet Service Provider (ISP). In the lw4o6 architecture, the PCP-controlled device corresponds to the Lightweight Address Family Transition Router (lwAFTR), and the PCP client corresponds to the Lightweight B4 (lwB4). The PCP client sends a PCP MAP request containing a PORT_SET option to trigger shared address allocation on the Lightweight AFTR (lwAFTR). The PCP response contains the shared address information, including the port set allocated to the Lightweight B4 (lwB4). 1.3. Firewall Control Port sets are often used in firewall rules. For example, defining a range for Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) [RFC3550] traffic is common practice. The PCP MAP request can already be used for firewall control. The PORT_SET option brings the additional ability to manipulate firewall rules operating on port sets instead of single ports. Sun, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 7753 PCP PORT_SET February 2016 1.4. Discovering Stateless Port-Set Mappings A PCP MAP request can be used to retrieve a mapping from a stateless device (i.e., one that does not establish any per-flow state, and simply rewrites the address and/or port in a purely algorithmic fashion, including no rewriting). Similarly, a PCP MAP request with a PORT_SET request can be used to discover a port-set mapping from a stateless device. See Section 5.2 for an example. 2. The Need for PORT_SET Multiple PCP MAP requests can be used to manipulate a set of ports; this has roughly the same effect as a single use of a PCP MAP request with a PORT_SET option. However, use of the PORT_SET option is more efficient when considering the following aspects: Network Traffic: A single request uses fewer network resources than multiple requests. Latency: Even though PCP MAP requests can be sent in parallel, we can expect the total processing time to be longer for multiple requests than for a single one. Server-side efficiency: Some PCP-controlled devices can allocate port sets in a manner such that data passing through the device is processed much more efficiently than the equivalent using individual port allocations. For example, a CGN having a "bulk" port allocation scheme (see [RFC6888], Section 5) often has this property. Server-side scalability: The number of state table entries in PCP- controlled devices is often a limiting factor. Allocating port sets in a single request can result in a single mapping entry being used, therefore allowing greater scalability. Therefore, while it is functionally possible to obtain the same results using plain MAP, the extension proposed in this document allows greater efficiency, scalability, and simplicity, while lowering latency and necessary network traffic. In addition, PORT_SET supports parity preservation. Some protocols (e.g., RTP [RFC3550]) assign meaning to a port number's parity. When mapping sets of ports for the purpose of using such kind of protocol, preserving parity can be necessary. Sun, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] RFC 7753 PCP PORT_SET February 2016 3. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. 4. The PORT_SET Option Option Name: PORT_SET Number: 130 (see Section 8) Purpose: To map sets of ports. Valid for Opcodes: MAP Length: 5 bytes May appear in: Both requests and responses Maximum occurrences: 1 The PORT_SET option indicates that the PCP client wishes to reserve a set of ports. The requested number of ports in that set is indicated in the option. The maximum occurrences of the PORT_SET option MUST be limited to 1. The reason is that the Suggested External Port Set depends on the data contained in the MAP Opcode header. Having two PORT_SET options with a single MAP Opcode header would imply having two overlapping Suggested External Port Sets. Note that the option number is in the "optional to process" range (128-191), meaning that a PCP MAP request with a PORT_SET option will be interpreted by a PCP server that does not support PORT_SET as a single-port PCP MAP request, as if the PORT_SET option was absent. The PORT_SET option is formatted as shown in Figure 1. Sun, et al. Standards Track [Page 6] RFC 7753 PCP PORT_SET February 2016 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |Option Code=130| Reserved | Option Length=5 | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Port Set Size | First Internal Port | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Reserved |P| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Figure 1: PORT_SET Option The fields are as follows: Port Set Size: A 16-bit unsigned integer. Number of ports requested. MUST NOT be zero. First Internal Port: In a request, this field MUST be set equal to the Internal Port field in the MAP Opcode by the PCP client. In a response, this field indicates the First Internal Port of the port set mapped by the PCP server, which may differ from the value sent in the request. That is to be contrasted to the Internal Port field, which by necessity is always identical in matched requests and responses. Reserved: MUST be set to zero when sending; MUST be ignored when receiving. P (parity bit): 1 if parity preservation is requested; 0 otherwise. See [RFC4787], Section 4.2.2. Note that Option Code, Reserved, and Option Length are as described in [RFC6887], Section 7.3. The Internal Port Set is defined as being the range of Port Set Size ports starting from the First Internal Port. The Suggested External Port Set is defined as being the range of Port Set Size ports starting from the Suggested External Port. Similarly, the Assigned External Port Set is defined as being the range of Port Set Size ports starting from the Assigned External Port. The Internal Port Set returned in a response and the Assigned External Port Set have the same size. The Suggested External Port corresponds to the first port in the Suggested External Port Set. Its purpose is for clients to be able to regenerate previous mappings after state loss. When such an event happens, clients may attempt to regenerate identical mappings by Sun, et al. Standards Track [Page 7] RFC 7753 PCP PORT_SET February 2016 suggesting the same External Port Set as before the state loss. Note that there is no guarantee that the allocated External Port Set will be the one suggested by the client. 4.1. Client Behavior To retrieve a set of ports, the PCP client adds a PORT_SET option to its PCP MAP request. If parity preservation is required (i.e., an even port to be mapped to an even port and an odd port to be mapped to an odd port), the PCP client MUST set the parity bit (to 1) to ask the PCP server to preserve the port parity. The PCP client MUST NOT include more than one PORT_SET option in a PCP MAP request. If several port sets are needed, the PCP client MUST issue separate PCP MAP requests, each potentially including a PORT_SET option. These individual PCP MAP requests MUST include distinct Internal Ports. If the PCP client does not know the exact number of ports it requires, it MAY then set the Port Set Size to 0xffff, indicating that it is willing to accept as many ports as the PCP server can offer. A PCP client SHOULD NOT send a PORT_SET option for single-port PCP MAP requests (including creation, renewal, and deletion), because that needlessly increases processing on the server. PREFER_FAILURE MUST NOT appear in a request with a PORT_SET option. As a reminder, PREFER_FAILURE was specifically designed for the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Internet Gateway Device - Port Control Protocol Interworking Function (IGD-PCP IWF) [RFC6970]. The reasons for not recommending the use of PREFER_FAILURE are discussed in Section 13.2 of [RFC6887]. When the PCP-controlled device supports delegation of multiple port sets for a given PCP client, the PCP client MAY re-initiate a PCP request to get another port set when it has exhausted all the ports within the port set. 4.2. Server Behavior In addition to regular PCP MAP request processing, the following checks are made upon receipt of a PORT_SET option with a non-zero Requested Lifetime: o If multiple PORT_SET options are present in a single PCP MAP request, a MALFORMED_OPTION error is returned. Sun, et al. Standards Track [Page 8] RFC 7753 PCP PORT_SET February 2016 o If the Port Set Size is zero, a MALFORMED_OPTION error is returned. o If a PREFER_FAILURE option is present, a MALFORMED_OPTION error is returned. The PCP server MAY map fewer ports than the value of Port Set Size from the request. It MUST NOT map more ports than the PCP client asked for. Internal Ports outside the range of Port Set Size ports starting from the Internal Port MUST NOT be mapped by the PCP server. If the requested port set cannot be fully satisfied, the PCP server SHOULD map as many ports as possible and SHOULD map at least one port (which is the same behavior as if Port Set Size is set to 1). If the PCP server ends up mapping only a single port, for any reason, the PORT_SET option MUST NOT be present in the response. In particular, if the PCP server receives a single-port PCP MAP request that includes a PORT_SET option, the PORT_SET option is silently ignored, and the request is handled as a single-port PCP MAP request. If the port parity preservation is requested (P = 1), the PCP server MAY preserve port parity. In that case, the External Port is set to a value having the same parity as the First Internal Port. If the mapping is successful, the MAP response's Assigned External Port is set to the first port in the External Port Set, and the PORT_SET option's Port Set Size is set to the number of ports in the mapped port set. The First Internal Port field is set to the first port in the Internal Port Set. 4.3. Absence of Capability Discovery A PCP client that wishes to make use of a port set includes the PORT_SET option. If no PORT_SET option is present in the response, the PCP client cannot conclude that the PCP server does not support the PORT_SET option. It may just be that the PCP server does support PORT_SET but decided to allocate only a single port, for reasons that are its own. If the client wishes to obtain more ports, it MAY send additional PCP MAP requests (see Section 6.4), which the PCP server may or may not grant according to local policy. If port-set capability is added to or removed from a running PCP server, the server MAY reset its Epoch time and send an ANNOUNCE message as described in the PCP specification ([RFC6887], Section 14.1). This causes PCP clients to retry, and those using PORT_SET will now receive a different response. Sun, et al. Standards Track [Page 9] RFC 7753 PCP PORT_SET February 2016 4.4. Port-Set Renewal and Deletion Port-set mappings are renewed and deleted as a single entity. That is, the lifetime of all port mappings in the set is set to the Assigned Lifetime at once. A PCP client attempting to refresh or delete a port-set mapping MUST include the PORT_SET option in its request. 4.4.1. Overlap Conditions Port-set PCP MAP requests can overlap with existing single-port or port-set mappings. This can happen either by mistake or after a PCP client becomes out of sync with server state. If a PCP server receives a PCP MAP request, with or without a PORT_SET option, that tries to map one or more Internal Ports or port sets belonging to already-existing mappings, then the request is considered to be a refresh request applying those mappings. Each of the matching port or port-set mappings is processed independently, as if a separate refresh request had been received. The processing is as described in Section 15 of [RFC6887]. The PCP server sends a Mapping Update message for each of the mappings. 5. Examples 5.1. Simple Request on Network Address Translator IPv4/IPv4 (NAT44) An application requires a range of 100 IPv4 UDP ports to be mapped to itself. The application running on the host has created sockets bound to IPv4 UDP ports 50,000 to 50,099 for this purpose. It does not care about which External Port numbers are allocated. The PCP client sends a PCP request with the following parameters over IPv4: o MAP Opcode Mapping Nonce: Protocol: 17 Internal Port: 50,000 Suggested External Port: 0 Suggested External IP Address: ::ffff:0.0.0.0 Sun, et al. Standards Track [Page 10] RFC 7753 PCP PORT_SET February 2016 o PORT_SET Option Port Set Size: 100 First Internal Port: 50,000 P: 0 The PCP server is unable to fulfill the request fully: it is configured by local policy to only allocate 32 ports per user. Since the PREFER_FAILURE option is absent from the request, it decides to map UDP ports 37,056 to 37,087 on external address 192.0.2.3 to Internal Ports 50,000 to 50,031. After setting up the mapping in the NAT44 device it controls, it replies with the following PCP response: o MAP Opcode Mapping Nonce: Protocol: 17 Internal Port: 50,000 Assigned External Port: 37,056 Assigned External IP Address: ::ffff:192.0.2.3 o PORT_SET Option Port Set Size: 32 First Internal Port: 50,000 P: 0 Upon receiving this response, the host decides that 32 ports is good enough for its purposes. It closes sockets bound to ports 50,032 to 50,099, sets up a refresh timer, and starts using the port range it has just been assigned. Sun, et al. Standards Track [Page 11] RFC 7753 PCP PORT_SET February 2016 5.2. Stateless Mapping Discovery A host wants to discover a stateless NAT44 mapping pointing to it. To do so, it sends the following request over IPv4: o MAP Opcode Mapping Nonce: Protocol: 0 Internal Port: 1 Suggested External Port: 0 Suggested External IP Address: ::ffff:0.0.0.0 o PORT_SET Option Port Set Size: 65,535 First Internal Port: 1 P: 0 The PCP server sends the following response: o MAP Opcode Mapping Nonce: Protocol: 0 Internal Port: 1 Assigned External Port: 26,624 Assigned External IP Address: ::ffff:192.0.2.5 o PORT_SET Option Port Set Size: 2048 First Internal Port: 26,624 P: 0 Sun, et al. Standards Track [Page 12] RFC 7753 PCP PORT_SET February 2016 From this response, the host understands that a 2048-port stateless mapping is pointing to itself, starting from port 26,624 on external IP address 192.0.2.5. 5.3. Resolving Overlap This example relates to Section 4.4.1. Suppose Internal Port 100 is mapped to External Port 100 and port set 101-199 is mapped to External Port Set 201-299. The PCP server receives a PCP MAP request with Internal Port = 100, External Port = 0, and a PORT_SET option with Port Set Size = 100. The request's Mapping Nonce is equal to those of the existing single-port and port- set mappings. This request is therefore treated as two refresh requests, the first one applying to the single-port mapping and the second one applying to the port-set mapping. The PCP server updates the lifetimes of both mappings as usual and then sends two responses: the first one contains Internal Port = 100, External Port = 100, and no PORT_SET option, while the second one contains Internal Port = 101, External Port = 201, and a PORT_SET option with Port Set Size = 99. 6. Operational Considerations 6.1. Limits and Quotas It is up to the PCP server to determine the port-set quota, if any, for each PCP client. If the PCP server is configured to allocate multiple port-set allocations for one subscriber, the same Assigned External IP Address SHOULD be assigned to the subscriber in multiple port-set responses. To optimize the number of mapping entries maintained by the PCP server, it is RECOMMENDED to configure the PCP server to assign the maximum allowed Port Set Size in a single response. This policy SHOULD be configurable. 6.2. High Availability The failover mechanism in MAP (Section 14 of [RFC6887]) can also be applied to port sets. 6.3. Idempotence A core, desirable property of PCP is idempotence. In a nutshell, requests produce the same results whether they are executed once or multiple times. This property is preserved with the PORT_SET option, Sun, et al. Standards Track [Page 13] RFC 7753 PCP PORT_SET February 2016 with the following caveat: the order in which the PCP server receives requests with overlapping Internal Port Sets will affect the mappings being created and the responses received. For example, suppose these two requests are sent by a PCP client: Request A: Internal Port Set 1-10 Request B: Internal Port Set 5-14 The PCP server's actions will depend on which request is received first. Suppose that A is received before B: Upon reception of A: Internal Ports 1-10 are mapped. A success response containing the following fields is sent: Internal Port: 1 First Internal Port: 1 Port Set Size: 10 Upon reception of B: The request matches mapping A. The request is interpreted as a refresh request for mapping A, and a response containing the following fields is sent: Internal Port: 5 First Internal Port: 1 Port Set Size: 10 If the order of reception is reversed (B before A), the created mapping will be different, and the First Internal Port in both responses would then be 5. To avoid surprises, PCP clients MUST ensure that port-set mapping requests do not inadvertently overlap. For example, a host's operating system could include a central PCP client process through which port-set mapping requests would be arbitrated. Alternatively, individual PCP clients running on the same host would be required to acquire the Internal Ports from the operating system (e.g., a call to the bind() function from the BSD API) before trying to map them with PCP. Sun, et al. Standards Track [Page 14] RFC 7753 PCP PORT_SET February 2016 6.4. What should a PCP client do when it receives fewer ports than requested? Suppose a PCP client asks for 16 ports and receives 8. What should it do? Should it consider this a final answer? Should it try a second request, asking for 8 more ports? Should it fall back to 8 individual PCP MAP requests? This document leaves the answers to be implementation specific but describes issues to be considered when answering them. First, the PCP server has decided to allocate 8 ports for some reason. It may be that allocation sizes have been limited by the PCP server's administrator. It may be that the PCP client has reached a quota. It may be that these 8 ports were the last contiguous ones available. Depending on the reason, asking for more ports may or may not be likely to actually yield more ports. However, the PCP client has no way of knowing. Second, not all PCP clients asking for N ports actually need all N ports to function correctly. For example, a DNS resolver could ask for N ports to be used for source-port randomization. If fewer than N ports are received, the DNS resolver will still work correctly, but source-port randomization will be slightly less efficient, having fewer bits to play with. In that case, it would not make much sense to ask for more ports. Finally, asking for more ports could be considered abuse. External Ports are a resource that is to be shared among multiple PCP clients. A PCP client trying to obtain more than its fair share could trigger countermeasures according to local policy. In conclusion, it is expected that, for most applications, asking for more ports would not yield benefits justifying the additional costs. 7. Security Considerations The security considerations discussed in [RFC6887] apply to this extension. As described in Section 4.4.1, a single PCP request using the PORT_SET option may result in multiple responses. For this to happen, it is necessary that the request contain the nonce associated with multiple mappings on the server. Therefore, an on-path attacker could use an eavesdropped nonce to mount an amplification attack. Use of PCP authentication ([RFC6887], Section 18) eliminates this attack vector. Sun, et al. Standards Track [Page 15] RFC 7753 PCP PORT_SET February 2016 In order to prevent a PCP client from controlling all ports bound to a shared IP address, port quotas should be configured on the PCP server (Section 17.2 of [RFC6887]). 8. IANA Considerations IANA has allocated value 130 in the "PCP Options" registry at for the new PCP option defined in Section 4. 9. References 9.1.
