    Source-Address-Dependent Routing and Source Address Selection
            for IPv6 Hosts: Overview of the Problem Space

Abstract

  This document presents the source-address-dependent routing (SADR)
  problem space from the host's perspective.  Both multihomed hosts and
  hosts with multiple interfaces are considered.  Several network
  architectures are presented to illustrate why source address
  selection and next-hop resolution are needed in view of
  source-address-dependent routing.

  The document is scoped on identifying a set of scenarios for
  source-address-dependent routing from the host's perspective and
  analyzing a set of solutions to mitigate encountered issues.  The
  document does not make any solution recommendations.

RFC 8043            Source-Address-Dependent-Routing        January 2017


1.  Introduction

1.1.  Overall Context

  BCP 38 recommends ingress traffic filtering to prohibit Denial-of-
  Service (DoS) attacks.  As such, datagrams with source addresses that
  do not match with the network where the host is attached are
  discarded [RFC2827].  Preventing packets from being dropped due to
  ingress filtering is difficult, especially in multihomed networks
  where the host receives more than one prefix from the networks it is
  connected to, and consequently may have more than one source address.
  Based on BCP 38, BCP 84 introduced recommendations on the routing
  system for multihomed networks [RFC3704].

  Recommendations on the routing system for ingress filtering such as
  in BCP 84 inevitably involve source address checks.  This leads to
  source-address-dependent-routing (SADR).  Source-address-dependent
  routing can be problematic, especially when the host is connected to
  a multihomed network and is communicating with another host in
  another multihomed network.  In such a case, the communication can be
  broken in both directions if Network Providers apply ingress
  filtering and the datagrams contain the wrong source addresses (see
  [INGRESS_FIL] for more details).

  Hosts with simultaneously active interfaces receive multiple prefixes
  and have multiple source addresses.  Datagrams originating from such
  hosts are likely to be filtered due to ingress filtering policies.
  The source address selection algorithm needs to carefully avoid
  ingress filtering on the next-hop router [RFC6724].

  Many use cases have been reported for source/destination routing --
  see [SD_RTG].  These use cases clearly indicate that the multihomed
  host or Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) router needs to be
  configured with the correct source prefixes/addresses so that it can
  forward packets upstream correctly to prevent the ingress filtering
  applied by an upstream Network Provider from dropping the packets.

  In multihomed networks, there is a need to enforce source-address-
  based routing if some providers are performing ingress filtering.
  This requires that the routers consider the source addresses as well
  as the destination addresses in determining the packet's next hop.

RFC 8043            Source-Address-Dependent-Routing        January 2017


1.2.  Scope

  Based on the use cases defined in [SD_RTG], the routers may be
  informed about the source addresses to use for forwarding using
  extensions to the routing protocols like IS-IS [ISO.10589.1992]
  [SD_RTG_ISIS], OSPF [RFC5340] [SD_RTG_OSPF].

  In this document, we describe the scenarios for source-address-
  dependent routing from the host's perspective.  Two flavors can be
  considered:

  1.  A host may have a single interface with multiple addresses (from
      different prefixes or /64s).  Each prefix is delegated from
      different exit routers, and this case can be called "multihomed
      with multi-prefix" (MHMP).  In such case, source address
      selection is performed by the host while source-dependent routing
      is enforced by an upstream router.

  2.  A host may have simultaneously connected multiple interfaces
      where each interface is connected to a different exit router, and
      this case can be called "multi-prefix multiple interface" (MPMI).
      For this case, the host is required to support both source
      address selection and source-dependent routing to avoid the need
      for an upstream router to rewrite the IPv6 prefix.

  Several limitations arise in multihoming contexts based on NAT and
  IPv6-to-IPv6 Network Prefix Translation (NPTv6) [RFC6296]; see, for
  example, [RFC4116].  NPTv6 is out of scope for this document.

  This document was initially written to inform the community about the
  SADR problem space.  It was updated to record the various sets of
  alternate solutions to address that problem space.  The 6man WG
  consensus is documented in [RFC8028].

2.  Source-Address-Dependent Routing (SADR) Scenarios

  This section describes a set of scenarios to illustrate the SADR
  problem.  Scenarios are listed in order of increasing complexity.

RFC 8043            Source-Address-Dependent-Routing        January 2017


2.1.  Multi-Prefix Multihoming

  The scenario shown in Figure 1 is a multi-prefix multihoming use
  case.  "rtr" is a CPE router that is connected to two Network
  Providers, each advertising its own prefixes.  In this case, the host
  may have a single interface, but it receives multiple prefixes from
  the upstream Network Providers.  Assuming that providers apply the
  ingress filtering policy, the packets for any external communication
  from the host should follow source-address-dependent routing in order
  to avoid getting dropped.

  In this scenario, the host does not need to perform source-dependent
  routing; it only needs to perform source address selection.

     |      |                  |
     +------+                  |

           Figure 1: Multihomed Host with Multiple CPE Routers

2.2.  Multi-Prefix Multi-Interface

  The scenario shown in Figure 2 is multi-prefix multi-interface, where
  "rtr1" and "rtr2" represent CPE routers and there are exit routers in
  both "network 1" and "network 2".  If the packets from the host
  communicating with a remote destination are routed to the wrong exit
  router, i.e., they carry the wrong source address, they will get
  dropped due to ingress filtering.

  In order to avoid complications when sending packets and to avoid the
  need to rewrite the source IPv6 prefix, the host is required to
  perform both source address selection and source-dependent routing so
  that the appropriate next hop is selected while taking into account
  the source address.

         Figure 2: Multiple Interfaced Host with Two CPE Routers

  There is a variant of Figure 2 that is often referred to as a
  corporate VPN, i.e., a secure tunnel from the host to a router
  attached to a corporate network.  In this case, "rtr2" provides
  access directly to the corporate network, and the link from the host
  to "rtr2" is a secure tunnel (for example, an IPsec tunnel).
  Therefore, the interface is a virtual interface with its own IP
  address/prefix assigned by the corporate network.

        +------+     +------+      \___________/

                           Figure 3: VPN Case

  There are at least two sub-cases:

  a.  Dedicated forwarding entries are created in the host such that
      only traffic directed to the corporate network is sent to "rtr2";
      everything else is sent to "rtr1".

RFC 8043            Source-Address-Dependent-Routing        January 2017


  b.  All traffic is sent to "rtr2" and then routed to the Internet if
      necessary.  This case doesn't need host routes but leads to
      unnecessary traffic and latency because of the path stretch via
      "rtr2".

2.3.  Home Network (Homenet)

  In the homenet scenario depicted in Figure 4, representing a simple
  home network, there is a host connected to a local network that is
  serviced with two CPEs that are connected to Providers 1 and 2,
  respectively.  Each network delegates a different prefix.  Also, each
  router provides a different prefix to the host.  The issue in this
  scenario is that ingress filtering is used by each provider.  This
  scenario can be considered as a variation of the scenario described
  in Section 2.2.

     |      |     |      |
     +------+     +------+

           Figure 4: Simple Home Network with Two CPE Routers

  The host has to select the source address from the prefixes of
  Providers 1 or 2 when communicating with other hosts in Provider 1 or
  2.  The next issue is to select the correct next-hop router, "rtr1"
  or "rtr2" that can reach the correct provider, Network Provider 1 or
  2.

2.4.  Service-Specific Egress Routing

  A variation of the scenario in Section 2.1 is specialized egress
  routing.  Upstream networks offer different services with specific
  requirements, e.g., Voice over IP (VoIP) or IPTV.  The hosts using
  this service need to use the service's source and destination
  addresses.  No other service will accept this source address, i.e.,
  those packets will be dropped [SD_RTG].

  Both source address selection and source-dependent routing are
  required to be performed by the host.

         Figure 5: Multi-Interfaced Host with Three CPE Routers

  The scenario shown in Figure 5 is a variation of a multi-prefix
  multi-interface scenario (Section 2.2).  "rtr1", "rtr2", and "rtr3"
  are CPE routers.  The networks apply ingress routing.  Source-
  address-dependent routing should be used to avoid dropping any
  external communications.

3.  Analysis of Source-Address-Dependent Routing

  SADR can be facilitated at the host with proper source address and
  next-hop selection.  For this, each router connected to different
  interfaces of the host uses Router Advertisements (RAs) [RFC4861] to
  distribute a default route, the next hop, and the source address/
  prefix information to the host.  As a reminder, while the Prefix
  Information Option (PIO) is defined in [RFC4861], the Route
  Information Option (RIO) is defined in [RFC4191].

  Section 3.1 presents an analysis of the scenarios in Section 2, and
  Section 3.2 discusses the relevance of SADR to the provisioning
  domains.

3.1.  Scenarios Analysis

  As in [RFC7157], we assume that the routers in Section 2 use RAs to
  distribute default route and source address prefixes supported in
  each next hop to the hosts or that the gateway/CPE router relays this
  information to the hosts.





Sarikaya & Boucadair          Informational                     [Page 8]

RFC 8043            Source-Address-Dependent-Routing        January 2017


  Referring to Section 2.1, source address selection is undertaken by
  the host while source-dependent routing must be followed by "rtr" to
  avoid packets being dropped.  No particular modification is required
  for next-hop selection at the host.

  Referring to the scenario in Figure 2, source-address-dependent
  routing can present a solution to the problem of when the host wishes
  to reach a destination in network 2 and the host chooses "rtr1" as
  the default router.  The solution assumes that the host is correctly
  configured.  The host should be configured with the prefixes
  supported in these next hops.  This way the host, having received
  many prefixes, will have the correct information for selecting the
  right source address and next hop when sending packets to remote
  destinations.

  Note that similar considerations apply to the scenario in Figure 5.

  In the configuration of the scenario (Figure 1), it is also useful to
  configure the host with the prefixes and source address prefixes they
  support.  This will enable the host to select the right prefix when
  sending packets to the right next hop and avoid any issues with
  ingress filtering.

  Let us analyze the scenario in Section 2.3.  If a source-address-
  dependent routing protocol is used, the two routers ("rtr1" and
  "rtr2") are both able to route traffic correctly, no matter which
  next-hop router and source address the host selects.  In case the
  host chooses the wrong next-hop router, e.g., "rtr1" is selected for
  Provider 2, "rtr1" will forward the traffic to "rtr2" to be sent to
  Network Provider 2 and no ingress filtering will happen.

  Note that home networks are expected to comply with requirements for
  source-address-dependent routing and that the routers will be
  configured accordingly no matter which routing protocol is used
  [RFC7788].

  This would work, but with some issues.  The host traffic to Provider
  2 will have to go over two links instead of one, i.e., the link
  bandwidth will be halved.  Another possibility is that "rtr1" can
  send an ICMPv6 Redirect message to the host to direct the traffic to
  "rtr2".  The host would then redirect Provider 2 traffic to "rtr2".

  The problem with redirects is that the ICMPv6 Redirect message can
  only convey two addresses, i.e., in this case the router address, or
  "rtr2" address and the destination address, or the destination host
  in Provider 2.  That means that the source address will not be
  communicated.  As a result, the host would send packets to the same
  destination using both source addresses, which causes "rtr2" to send



Sarikaya & Boucadair          Informational                     [Page 9]

RFC 8043            Source-Address-Dependent-Routing        January 2017


  a redirect message to "rtr1", resulting in ping-pong redirects sent
  by "rtr1" and "rtr2".

  A solution to these issues is to configure the host with the source
  address prefixes that the next hop supports.  In a homenet context,
  each interface of the host can be configured by its next-hop router,
  so that all that is needed is to add the information about source
  address prefixes.  This results in the hosts selecting the right
  router, no matter what.

  Source-address-dependent routing in the use case of specialized
  egress routing (Section 2.4) may work as follows.  The specialized
  service router advertises one or more specific prefixes with
  appropriate source prefixes, e.g., to the CPE router, "rtr" in
  Figure 1.  The CPE router in turn advertises the specific service's
  prefixes and source prefixes to the host.  This will allow proper
  configuration at the host so that the host can use the service by
  sending the packets with the correct source and destination
  addresses.

3.2.  Provisioning Domains and SADR

  A consistent set of network configuration information is called a
  provisioning domain (PvD).  In the case of multihomed with multi-
  prefix (MHMP), more than one provisioning domain is present on a
  single link.  In the case of multi-prefix multiple interface (MPMI)
  environments, elements of the same domain may be present on multiple
  links.  PvD-aware nodes support association of configuration
  information into PvDs and use these PvDs to serve requests for
  network connections, e.g., choosing the right source address for the
  packets.  PvDs can be constructed from one of more DHCP or Router
  Advertisement (RA) options carrying such information as PvD identity
  and PvD container [MPvD_NDP] [MPvD_DHCP].  PvDs constructed based on
  such information are called explicit PvDs [RFC7556].

  Apart from PvD identity, PvD content may be encapsulated in separate
  RA or DHCP options called the PvD Container Option.  These options
  are placed in the container options of an explicit PvD.

  Explicit PvDs may be received from different interfaces.  A single
  PvD may be accessible over one interface or simultaneously accessible
  over multiple interfaces.  Explicit PvDs may be scoped to a
  configuration related to a particular interface; however, in general,
  this does not apply.  What matters is that the PvD identity is
  authenticated by the node even in cases where the node has a single
  connected interface.  The authentication of the PvD ID should meet
  the level required by the node policy.  Single PvD information may be
  received over multiple interfaces as long as the PvD ID is the same.



Sarikaya & Boucadair          Informational                    [Page 10]

RFC 8043            Source-Address-Dependent-Routing        January 2017


  This applies to the Router Advertisements (RAs) in which case a
  multihomed host (that is, with multiple interfaces) should trust a
  message from a router on one interface to install a route to a
  different router on another interface.

4.  Discussion of Alternate Solutions

  We presented many topologies in which a host with multiple interfaces
  or a multihomed host is connected to various networks or Network
  Providers, which in turn may apply ingress routing.  The scenario
  analysis in Section 3.1 shows that in order to prevent packets from
  being dropped due to ingress routing, source-address-dependent
  routing is needed.  Also, source-address-dependent routing should be
  supported by routers throughout a site that has multiple egress
  points.

  In this section, we provide some alternate solutions vis-a-vis the
  scenarios presented in Section 2.  We start with Rule 5.5 in
  [RFC6724] for source address selection and the scenarios it solves,
  and then continue with solutions that state exactly what information
  hosts need in terms of new Router Advertisement options for correct
  source address selection in those scenarios.  No recommendation is
  made in this section.

4.1.  Router Advertisement Option

  There is a need to configure the host not only with the prefixes, but
  also with the source prefixes that the next-hop routers support.
  Such a configuration may prevent the host from getting ingress/egress
  policy error messages such as ICMP source address failure messages.

  If host configuration is done using Router Advertisement messages,
  then there is a need to define new Router Advertisement options for
  source-address-dependent routing.  These options include the Route
  Prefix with Source Address/Prefix Option.  Other options such as the
  Next-Hop Address with the Route Prefix Option and the Next-Hop
  Address with the Source Address and Route Prefix Option will be
  considered in Section 4.2.

  As discussed in Section 3.1, the scenario in Figure 4 can be solved
  by defining a new Router Advertisement option.

  If host configuration is done using DHCP, then there is a need to
  define new DHCP options for Route Prefix with Source Address/Prefix.
  As mentioned above, DHCP server configuration is interface specific.
  New DHCP options for source-address-dependent routing such as route
  prefix and source prefix need to be configured separately for each
  interface.



Sarikaya & Boucadair          Informational                    [Page 11]

RFC 8043            Source-Address-Dependent-Routing        January 2017


  The scenario in Figure 4 can be solved by defining a new DHCP option.

4.2.  Router Advertisement Option Set

  Rule 5.5 for source address selection may be a solution for selecting
  the right source addresses for each next hop, but there are cases
  where the next-hop routers on each interface of the host are not
  known by the host initially.  Such use cases are out of scope.
  Guidelines for use cases that require the Router Advertisement option
  set involving third-party next-hop addresses are also out of scope.

4.3.  Rule 5.5 for Source Address Selection

  One possible solution is Rule 5.5 in [RFC6724], the default rule for
  source address selection, which recommends selecting the source
  addresses advertised by the next hop.  Considering the above
  scenarios, we can state that this rule can solve the problem in
  Figures 1, 2, and 5.

  Source address selection rules can be distributed by the DHCP server
  using the DHCP option OPTION_ADDRSEL_TABLE defined in [RFC7078].

  In case of DHCP-based host configuration, the DHCP server can
  configure only the interface of the host to which it is directly
  connected.  In order for Rule 5.5 to apply on other interfaces, the
  option should be sent on those interfaces as well using the DHCPv6
  address selection policy option defined in [RFC7078].

  Rule 5.5, the default rule for source address selection, solves that
  problem when an application sends a packet with an unspecified source
  address.  In the presence of two default routes, one route will be
  chosen, and Rule 5.5 will make sure that the right source address is
  used.

  When the application selects a source address, i.e., the source
  address is chosen before next-hop selection, even though the source
  address is a way for the application to select the exit point, in
  this case, that purpose will not be served.  In the presence of
  multiple default routes, one will be picked, ignoring the source
  address that was selected by the application because it is known that
  IPv6 implementations are not required to remember which next hops
  advertised which prefixes.  Therefore, the next-hop router may not be
  the correct one, and the packets may be filtered.

  This implies that the hosts should register which next-hop router
  announced each prefix.  It is required that RAs be sent by the
  routers and that they contain PIO on all links.  It is also required
  that the hosts remember the source addresses of the routers that sent

  PIOs together with the prefixes advertised.  This can be achieved by
  updating redirect rules specified in [RFC4861].  [RFC8028] further
  elaborates this to specify to which router a host should present its
  transmission.

  The source-address-dependent routing solution is not complete without
  support from the edge routers.  All routers in edge networks need to
  be required to support routing based on not only the destination
  address but also the source address.  All edge routers need to be
  required to satisfy filters as defined in BCP 38.

5.  Security Considerations

  This document describes some use cases, and thus brings no additional
  security risks.  Solution documents should further elaborate on
  specific security considerations.
