Abstract In certain scenarios it is desirable to limit user access using filters or redirection. This document proposes additional attributes for this purpose, for use with the Remote Authentication Dial In User Server (RADIUS). The attributes described in this document are expected to be useful in a variety of environments, including enterprise and service provider scenarios. Congdon, et al.

Informational [Page 2] INTERNET-DRAFT VLAN, Priority, and Filtering Attributes 9 June 2005 1. Introduction Within the confines of RADIUS authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) environments, there is a requirement for standardized RADIUS attributes to limit user access using filters or redirection. For example, in IEEE 802.1X [IEEE8021X] environments, which provides "network port authentication" for IEEE 802 [IEEE802] media, including Ethernet [IEEE8023] and 802.11 [IEEE80211i] wireless LANS, there exists a strong desire to control authorization beyond just the untagged VLAN parameter based on tunnel attributes in [RFC2868] and usage of these in [RFC3580]. This document describes filtering and redirection attributes that may prove useful in IEEE 802.1X and a variety of situations. The attributes defined in this document may be used with RADIUS dynamic authorization [RFC3576]. The Filter-ID attribute defined in [RFC2865] requires the NAS to be pre-populated with the desired filters. This may be difficult to deploy in roaming scenarios where the home realm may not know what filters have been pre-populated by the local operator. The filtering attributes specified in this document enable explicit description of layer 2 and layer 3 filters as well as redirection, and therefore extend the filter language described in [RFC3588]. User traffic redirection is supported with or without tunneling. Tunneling support is provided using the tunnel attributes defined in [RFC2868]. Redirection of traffic in mid-session may break applications. Congdon, et al. Informational [Page 3] INTERNET-DRAFT VLAN, Priority, and Filtering Attributes 9 June 2005 1.1. Terminology In this document when we refer to blocking of IP traffic we mean filtering of IP traffic. Additionally, this document uses the following terms: Authenticator An authenticator is an entity that requires authentication from the supplicant. The authenticator may be connected to the supplicant at the other end of a point-to-point LAN segment or 802.11 wireless link. Authentication server An authentication server is an entity that provides an authentication service to an authenticator. This service verifies from the credentials provided by the supplicant, the claim of identity made by the supplicant. Hot-lining Blocking and redirection of users traffic is known as hot-lining of accounts. In this document, hot-lining is used as the motivation for these attributes and an illustration of how they would be used. However, the attributes may be used together or separately to provide other features. Redirection Refers to an action taken by the NAS to redirect the user's traffic to an alternate location. Supplicant A supplicant is an entity that is being authenticated by an authenticator. The supplicant may be connected to the authenticator at one end of a point-to-point LAN segment or 802.11 wireless link. Terminal A terminal is an endpoint, such as an 802.1X supplicant, attached to the NAS port. 1.2. Requirements Language In this document, several words are used to signify the requirements of the specification. 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]. Congdon, et al. Informational [Page 4] INTERNET-DRAFT VLAN, Priority, and Filtering Attributes 9 June 2005 An implementation is not compliant if it fails to satisfy one or more of the must or must not requirements for the protocols it implements. An implementation that satisfies all the must, must not, should and should not requirements for its protocols is said to be "unconditionally compliant"; one that satisfies all the must and must not requirements but not all the should or should not requirements for its protocols is said to be "conditionally compliant". 1.3. Capability Advertisement RADIUS does not currently define a method by which a NAS can advertise its capabilities and in many instances, it would be desirable for the home network to know what capabilities are supported by the NAS to ensure proper operational behavior. The attributes defined in this document are intended to be used to enforce policy by the NAS. If a NAS does not recognize these attributes it will most likely ignore them and the desired policy will not be enforced. A method for the NAS advertising the capability to support these attributes would help the RADIUS server understand if the intended policies can be enforced. As a result, the attributes in this document, in particular NAS- Traffic-Rule(TBD), can benefit from capability advertisement, if available. 1.4 Attribute Interpretation Unless otherwise noted in the individual description of an attribute contained herein, a NAS that conforms to this specification and receives an Access-Accept message that contains an attribute from this document that it cannot apply MUST interpret this though an Access-Reject had been sent and MUST terminate the session. If accounting is enabled on the NAS, it MUST generate an Accounting-Request(Stop) message upon session termination. Similarly, if a NAS conforming to this specification and also conforming to RFC 3576 [RFC3576] receives a CoA-Request message that contains an attribute from this document that it cannot apply, it MUST NOT terminate the session and MUST generate a CoA- NAK packet with ERROR-CAUSE(101) set to "Unsupported Attribute"(401). If accounting is enabled on the NAS, it MUST NOT generate an Accounting-Request(Stop) message in such instances. Congdon, et al. Informational [Page 5] INTERNET-DRAFT VLAN, Priority, and Filtering Attributes 9 June 2005 2. RADIUS Authentication This specification introduces one new RADIUS authentication attributes. 2.5. NAS-Traffic-Rule Description The NAS-Traffic-Rule attribute is derived from the Diameter IPFilterRule and enables provisioning of base encapsulation (Layer 2) rules, Internet Protocol (Layer 3-4) rules, and HTTP (Layer 5+) rules on the NAS by the RADIUS server. Compared to Diameter's IPFilterRule, NAS-Traffic-Rule is a superset in functionality, but is largely based on the same syntax foundations. For each rule and depending on the rule type, the NAS can be instructed to take a single action as follows: Rule Type Allowable rule action ------------------- --------------------- Base Encapsulation filter, tunnel Internet Protocol filter, tunnel HTTP filter, redirect When specifying a base encapsulation rule, NAS-Traffic-Rule processes packets based on the following information that is associated with it: Direction (in and/or out) Base encapsulation type Source and destination MAC address (possibly masked) For a base encapsulation rule, the filter action entails having the NAS permit (i.e. forward) or deny (i.e. block) a user's traffic. The tunnel action entails having the NAS forward user traffic to or from a named tunnel that has been established per [RFC2868]. When specifying an Internet Protocol rule, NAS-Traffic-Rule processes packets based on the following information that is associated with it: Direction (in and/or out) Source and destination IP address (possibly masked) Protocol Source and destination port (lists or ranges) Congdon, et al. Informational [Page 6] INTERNET-DRAFT VLAN, Priority, and Filtering Attributes 9 June 2005 TCP flags IP fragment flag IP options ICMP types For an Internet Protocol rule, the filter action entails having the NAS permit (i.e. forward) or deny (i.e. block) a user's traffic. The tunnel action entails having the NAS forward user traffic to or from a named tunnel that has been established per [RFC2868]. When specifying an HTTP rule, NAS-Traffic-Rule processes packets based on the following information that is associated with it: HTTP URL Source and destination IP address (possibly masked) For an HTTP rule, the filter action entails having the NAS permit (i.e. forward) or deny (i.e. block) a user's [RFC2616] request message. For a deny action, the NAS MAY respond to the request message with a code 403 (Forbidden) response in accordance with [RFC2616]. For a redirect action the NAS SHOULD respond to the user's request with a code 302 (Found) response in accordance with [RFC2616]. For the HTTP redirection action, it is also possible to have redirection automatically removed by including a redir-cnt count parameter along with the rule. The rule will be removed from the active rule set when the rule matches redir-cnt number of times. Upon removal from the active rule set, traffic is no longer evaluated against this rule. It should be noted that an HTTP filter or redirect rule is only useful with plain-text HTTP and not [RFC2818] HTTPS. Redirection or filtering of HTTPS is outside the scope of this document. As per the requirements of RFC 2865, Section 2.3, if multiple NAS-Traffic-Rule attributes are contained within an Access- Accept or CoA-Request packet, they MUST be maintained in order. The attributes MUST be consecutive attributes in the packet. RADIUS proxies MUST NOT reorder NAS-Traffic-Rule attributes. The RADIUS server can return multiple NAS-Traffic-Rule attributes in an Access-Accept or CoA-Request packet. Where more than one NAS-Traffic-Rule attribute is included, it is assumed that the attributes are to be concatenated to form a single filter list. Furthermore, if the list contains different types of rules, they MUST appear in the following order: flush Congdon, et al. Informational [Page 7] INTERNET-DRAFT VLAN, Priority, and Filtering Attributes 9 June 2005 rules, base encapsulation tunnel rules, base encapsulation filter rules, IP tunnel rules, HTTP redirect rules, IP filter rules, and HTTP filter rules. Rules are evaluated in order, with the first matched rule terminating the evaluation. Each packet is evaluated once. If no rule matches, then packet is dropped (implicit deny all). When an HTTP redirect rule matches, the NAS shall reply to the HTTP request with an HTTP redirect in accordance with [RFC2616] redirecting traffic to specific URL. Filter-ID (11) and NAS-Traffic-Rule both define how filters are to be applied in the NAS. These attributes are not intended to be used concurrently and SHOULD NOT appear in the same RADIUS message. Only one type of filtering attribute must be processed. If a Filter-ID (11) is present, then the NAS- Traffic-Rule MUST be ignored, if present. The NAS-Traffic-Rule attribute is shown below. The fields are transmitted from left to right: 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type (TBD) | Length | Text +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Text (cont.) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Type TBD Length >= 3 Text The text conforms to the following ABNF [RFC2234] formatted syntax specification: ; Start of ABNF description of NAS-Traffic-Rule rule = (flush-rule / permit-all-rule / l2-filter-rule / l2-tunnel-rule Congdon, et al.

"deny" Drop packets that match the rule. "redirect" Redirect packets that match the rule. "tunnel" Tunnel packets that match the rule. "flush" A flush rule removes all previously assigned filter rules. When flush is specified, it can be followed by other NAS-Traffic-Rule attributes. This allows for an atomic change of authorization with a single RADIUS message. "permit inout any from any to any" Special rule that matches against all traffic. This allows the implicit deny at the end of a filter list to be overridden. "in" Is from the terminal. "out" Is to the terminal. Congdon, et al. Informational [Page 11] INTERNET-DRAFT VLAN, Priority, and Filtering Attributes 9 June 2005 "inout" Is from and to the terminal. ipv4-address An IPv4 number in dotted-quad form. Only this exact IP number will match the rule. ipv6-address An IPv6 number in canonical IPv6 form. Only this exact IP number will match the rule. ipv4-address/ipv4mask An IP number with a mask width of the form 192.0.2.0/24. In this case, all IP numbers from 192.0.2.0 to 192.0.2.255 will match. The bit width MUST be valid for the IP version and the IP number MUST NOT have bits set beyond the mask. For a match to occur, the same IP version MUST be present in the packet that was used in describing the IP address. To test for a particular IP version, the bits part can be set to zero. "any" Keyword for 0.0.0.0/0 or the IPv6 equivalent. "assigned" Keyword for the address or set of addresses assigned to the terminal. For IPv4, a typical first rule is often "deny in ip !assigned" The sense of the match can be inverted by preceding an address with the not modifier (!), causing all other addresses to be matched instead. This does not affect the selection of port numbers. tcp-port With the TCP, UDP and SCTP protocols, this field specifies ports to match. Note: The '-' notation specifies a range of ports (including boundaries). Fragmented packets that have a non-zero offset (i.e., not the first fragment) will never match a rule that has one or more port specifications. See the "frag" keyword for details on matching fragmented packets. log-rule Increments rule hit counter by one every time a packet matches on rule. Counters start with a zero value at session start and are reset back to a zero value every time a successful authorization change occurs due to a CoA message being received by the NAS. For base encapsulation rules: Congdon, et al. Informational [Page 12] INTERNET-DRAFT VLAN, Priority, and Filtering Attributes 9 June 2005 "l2:" Prefix to designate a rule as a base encapsulation rule. "l2:ether2" keyword means any Ethernet-II (DIX Ethernet) will match. ether2:val Used to specify an Ethernet-II type by hexadecimal number, whereby "val" is replaced by desired number. Example: "l2:ether2:0x800" for IP ethertype (0x0800). l2-rmon-str Used to specify base encapsulation per the octet string format defined in [RFC2895], section 4.2. Example: "l2:0.0.0.2.0.0.0.240" for Netbios over LLC. macaddr For base encapsulation filter rules of "l2:ether2" type, the Ethernet MAC address with octet values separated by a "-". Example: "00-10-A4-23-19-C0". macaddr/mask An Ethernet number as above with a mask width of the form "00-10-A4-23-00-00/32". In this case, all MAC addresses from 00-10-A4-23-00-00 to 00-10-A4- 23-FF-FF will match. The MAC address MUST NOT have bits set beyond the mask. The keyword "any" is 00-00-00-00-00-00/0. The sense of the match can be inverted by preceding an address with the not modifier (!), causing all other addresses to be matched instead. Note: macaddr nor macaddr/mask argument is not used for "l2:rmon" type rules. For IP rules: "ip" Keyword means any IP protocol will match. ip-proto An IP protocol specified by number. "frag" Match if the packet is a fragment and this is not the first fragment of the datagram. frag may not be used in conjunction with either tcpflags or TCP/UDP port specifications. "ipoptions" Match if the IP header contains the comma separated list of options specified in spec. The supported IP options are: ssrr (strict source route), lsrr (loose source route), rr (record packet route) and Congdon, et al. Informational [Page 13] INTERNET-DRAFT VLAN, Priority, and Filtering Attributes 9 June 2005 ts(timestamp). The absence of a particular option may be denoted with a '!'. "tcpoptions" Match if the TCP header contains the comma separated list of options specified in spec. The supported TCP options are: mss (maximum segment size), window (tcp window advertisement), sack (selective ack), ts (rfc1323 timestamp) and cc (rfc1644 t/tcp connection count). The absence of a particular option may be denoted with a '!'. "established" TCP packets only. Match packets that have the RST or ACK bits set. "setup" TCP packets only. Match packets that have the SYN bit set but no ACK bit. "tcpflags" TCP packets only. Match if the TCP header contains the comma separated list of flags specified in spec. The supported TCP flags are: fin, syn, rst, psh, ack and urg. The absence of a particular flag may be denoted with a '!'. A rule that contains a tcpflags specification can never match a fragmented packet that has a non-zero offset. See the "frag" option for details on matching fragmented packets. "icmptypes" ICMP packets only. Match if the ICMP type is in the list types. The list may be specified as any combination of ranges or individual types separated by commas. Both the numeric values and the symbolic values listed below can be used. The supported ICMP types are: echo reply (0), destination unreachable (3), source quench (4), redirect (5), echo request(8), router advertisement (9), router solicitation (10), time- to-live exceeded (11), IP header bad (12), timestamp request (13), timestamp reply (14), information request (15), information reply (16), address mask request (17) and address mask reply (18). For HTTP redirection rules: redir-cnt Specifies the number of HTTP redirect rule matches that should transpire before removing this rule from the active rule set. Upon removal from the Congdon, et al. Informational [Page 14] INTERNET-DRAFT VLAN, Priority, and Filtering Attributes 9 June 2005 active rule set, traffic is no longer evaluated against this rule. redir-url An HTTP URL. When the 'redirect' rule matches (src/dst and/or org_URL ), HTTP requests are redirected to redir_URL address in accordance with [RFC2616] redirection traffic to specific URL. org-url An HTTP URL. Specifies the HTTP URL against which user HTTP requests will be evaluated. If user HTTP request matches org_URL, then redirection action is taken. For base encapsulation and IP tunnel rules: tunnel_id A tunnel id. When the 'tunnel' rule matches, traffic is redirected over the tunnel with the specified tunnel_id. Traffic can only be redirected to or from named tunnels that have been established per [RFC2868] and named using the Tunnel- Assignment-ID attribute described therein. The tunnel id MUST be encapsulated in double quotes and follow the labeling convention defined by the TEXTDATA. Example: A tunnel with the name of tunnel "ppp%1" would be specified as "%22ppp%251%22" A NAS that is unable to interpret or apply a deny rule MUST terminate the session. A NAS MAY apply deny rules of its own before the supplied rules, for example to protect the access device owner's infrastructure. 3. RADIUS Accounting This specification introduces one new RADIUS accounting attribute. 3.1. Acct-NAS-Traffic-Rule Description Acct-NAS-Traffic-Rule enables a RADIUS client to include NAS- Traffic-Rule[TBD] rule match counters as part of the accounting message. The Acct-NAS-Traffic-Rule attribute is shown below. The fields are transmitted from left to right: 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 Congdon, et al.

The remaining octets are used to specify for which filter rule the counter is for a value. The rule specification MUST conform to the syntax rules specified for NAS-Traffic-Rule[TBD]. 4. Table of Attributes The following table provides a guide to which attributes may be found in which kinds of packets, and in what quantity. Access- Access- Access- Access- CoA- Request Accept Reject Challenge Req # Attribute 0 0+ 0 0 0+ TBD NAS-Traffic-Rule Actng- Actng- Request Response # Attribute 0-1 0 TBD Acct-NAS-Traffic-Rule The following table defines the meaning of the above table entries. 0 This attribute MUST NOT be present in packet. 0+ Zero or more instances of this attribute MAY be present in the packet. 0-1 Zero or one instance of this attribute MAY be present in the packet. 5. Diameter Considerations Diameter needs to define identical attributes with the same Type values. The attributes should be available as part of the NASREQ Congdon, et al. Informational [Page 16] INTERNET-DRAFT VLAN, Priority, and Filtering Attributes 9 June 2005 application [RFC4005], as well as the Diameter EAP application [RFC4072]. 6. IANA Considerations This document uses the RADIUS [RFC2865] namespace, see . Allocation of six updates for the section "RADIUS Attribute Types" is requested. The RADIUS attributes for which values are requested are: TBD - NAS-Traffic-Rule TBD - Acct-NAS-Traffic-Rule 7. Security Considerations Since this document describes the use of RADIUS for purposes of authentication, authorization, and accounting in [IEEE8021X] enabled networks, it is vulnerable to all of the threats that are present in other RADIUS applications. For a discussion of these threats, see [RFC2607], [RFC3162], [RFC3579], and [RFC3580]. This document specifies new attributes that can be included in existing RADIUS messages. These messages are protected using existing security mechanisms; see [RFC2865] and [RFC3576] for a more detailed description and related security considerations. The security mechanisms in [RFC2865] and [RFC3576] are primarily concerned with an outside attacker who modifies messages in transit or inserts new messages. They do not prevent an authorized RADIUS server or proxy from inserting or deleting attributes with a malicious purpose in messages it sends. An attacker who compromises an authorized RADIUS server or proxy can use the attributes defined in this document to influence the behavior of the NAS in ways that previously may not have been possible. For example, modifications to the VLAN-related attributes may cause the NAS to permit access to other VLANs that were intended. To give another example, inserting suitable redirection rules to the NAS-Traffic-Rule attribute may allow the attacker to eavesdrop or modify packets sent by a legitimate client. In general, the NAS cannot know whether the attribute values it receives from an authenticated and authorized server are well- intentioned or malicious, and thus it is not possible to completely protect against attacks by compromised nodes. In some cases, the extent of the possible attacks can be limited by performing more fine-grained authorization checks at the NAS. Congdon, et al. Informational [Page 17] INTERNET-DRAFT VLAN, Priority, and Filtering Attributes 9 June 2005 For instance, a NAS could be configured to accept only certain VLAN IDs from a certain RADIUS server/proxy, or not to accept any redirection rules if it is known they are not used in this environment. 8.

Appendix A - Traffic Redirection There are several ways to redirect the user's traffic. Which method will be used depends on the capabilities available at the NAS and Service Provider's preference. This Appendix describes Congdon, et al. Informational [Page 19] INTERNET-DRAFT VLAN, Priority, and Filtering Attributes 9 June 2005 various methods to redirect user traffic by using the new attributes outlined in this document in conjunction with existing attributes, which are: 1) Tunneling; and 2) HTTP Redirection; For each method we describe how redirection is done at service initiation and mid-session. We also describe how redirection is removed when it is no longer desired. A.1 Tunneling User traffic can be redirected by tunneling the user's traffic to an alternate location. Tunneling will typically redirect all of the user's traffic for the Service. When tunneling is used to redirect all the traffic, then filtering may not be necessary. A.1.1 Service Initiation Redirect using tunnels at service initiation requires that the RADIUS server send the appropriate [RFC2868] tunnel attributes and NAS-Traffic-Rule attributes to the NAS. The [RFC2868] tunnel attributes describe the tunnel endpoint and the type of tunnel to construct. The 'tunnel ' option for the NAS-Traffic- Rule allows the specification of a traffic rule for which to redirect traffic to a named tunnel. A.1.2 Mid-session Tunnel Redirection Redirection of traffic using tunnels mid-session involves sending the tunnel attributes as per [RFC2868] to the NAS using Change-of- Authorization (CoA) message. The operation is described in [RFC3576]. Careful attention should be paid to the security issues in [RFC3576]. Note that if the session is already tunneled (eg. Mobile-IP) then the CoA message with a new tunnel specification can be sent to the NAS or alternatively the redirection can occur at the tunnel endpoint (the Home Agent) using any one of these methods. A.1.3 Tunnel Redirection Removal If the normal mode for the session was to tunnel the session and redirection was sent to the NAS, the RADIUS Server can send the original tunnel attributes to the NAS in a CoA message. The NAS will tear down the tunnel and establish a connection back to the original tunnel endpoint. Congdon, et al. Informational [Page 20] INTERNET-DRAFT VLAN, Priority, and Filtering Attributes 9 June 2005 However, if the normal mode for the session is not to use tunneling then there is a problem because RADIUS does not have a mechanism whereby it can de-tunnel. Receiving a CoA message without tunnel attributes would not have an effect on an existing tunnel. In order to de-tunnel the session, the RADIUS server has to send the NAS a CoA message with Service-Type(6) set to "Authorize-Only" causing the NAS to perform a re-Authorization. In response to the re-Authorization, the RADIUS server will send an Access-Accept packet without the tunneling information. Upon receiving the corresponding Access-Accept packet the NAS MUST apply the new authorization attributes. If these do not contain tunnel attributes, then the NAS MUST tear down the tunnel. A.1.4 Tunnel Redirection Examples The following examples illustrate how traffic flows when subjected to a NAS-Traffic-Rule using tunnel redirection. In these scenarios, the following notation is used to represent traffic flows: ------> Flow in one direction <-----> Flow in two directions ======> Flow in a tunnel in one direction <=====> Flow in a tunnel in two directions A RADIUS server that wishes all IP traffic to flow between the client and a selected redirection destination will issue an Access-Accept that contains the specification for the tunnel using the attributes defined by RFC 2868 and a NAS-Traffic-Rule attribute using the tunnel action and arguments. An example NAS-Traffic-Rule will look like: tunnel "t1" in ip from assigned to any This will cause all traffic that flows from the client to any destination to be tunneled over the named tunnel "t1" to the tunnel endpoint (TEP). +-------+ +------+ +------+ +------+ | | | | |Tunnel| | | |client +<---------->+ NAS +<==t1===>+ End +<----->+ Dest | | | | | |Point | | | +-------+ +------+ +------+ +------+ The direction argument takes the values of "in", "out" or "inout" and is important because it controls how information is routed. The following diagram demonstrates how traffic is routed. In all these diagrams time is increasing as we proceed down the page. Congdon, et al. Informational [Page 21] INTERNET-DRAFT VLAN, Priority, and Filtering Attributes 9 June 2005 When rule direction is "in": client NAS TEP DESTINATION | | | | |---------->|===t1===>|--------->| | | | | |<----------|<-------------------| (flows directly to NAS) | | | | The inbound traffic from the client matches the specified filter rule and the IP packet is placed in the tunnel to the TEP. The TEP forwards the packet to the Destination using the destination IP address in the packet header. Note that the source address of the packet is the address assigned at the NAS. Therefore if the destination were to reply to the packet it would use the NAS source address and the packet would flow directly to the NAS and to the client bypassing the TEP. The Home network would use this capability if it was only interested in metering or seeing the inbound traffic from the client. However, if the home network wanted to see the traffic in both directions it could deploy a NAT function at the TEP. Here is the flow when the TEP is acting like a NAT: client NAS TEP/NAT DESTINATION | | | | |---------->|===t1===>|--------->| | | | | |<----------|<==t1====|<---------| The client establishes a connection to the Destination, but the TEP acting as NAT, changes the source address of the IP packet (as NATs do) to that of the TEP/NAT. Now any replies from the Destination are sent to the TEP/NAT. The TEP/NAT then forwards these packets to the client through the NAS. When the TEP is acting as a NAT, using the direction argument "in" is important. The direction argument set to "out" will have no effect on traffic coming from the tunnel since all traffic to the client should come from the TEP/NAT inside the tunnel. The direction argument set to "inout" will have the same effect as if it were set to "in". The TEP/NAT forwards all traffic for the client into the tunnel to the NAS. The NAS always forwards any egressing traffic from the tunnel to the client. It does not apply any redirection rules on Congdon, et al. Informational [Page 22] INTERNET-DRAFT VLAN, Priority, and Filtering Attributes 9 June 2005 traffic egressing a tunnel. The NAS does not care whether the TEP is transparent or is acting as a NAT. A.2 HTTP Redirection Another method of redirection is at the application layer, specifically the HTTP layer. An HTTP aware NAS redirects traffic by issuing an HTTP Redirect response causing the user's browser to navigate to an alternate Web Portal. The call flow associated with performing redirection at the HTTP layer is very similar with the call flow associated with redirection done at the IP layer. The same NAS-Traffic-Rule(TBD) attribute described above is used to convey the redirection rules to use for HTTP redirection. HTTP redirection rules within the NAS-Traffic-Rule attribute supports the encoding of a redirection URL to apply when a rule is matched. A.2.1 Service Initiation As with previous call flows, the RADIUS server MAY send multiple HTTP redirect or filtering rules within a NAS-Traffic-Rule(TBD) attribute to the NAS in the Access-Accept message. A.2.2 Mid-session HTTP Redirection If HTTP redirection is required to be applied to a service that has already been started then the RADIUS server can push the redirection rules, and optionally the filter rules, to the NAS within a NAS-Traffic-Rule(TBD) attribute using a CoA-Request message. The NAS will then commence to apply the redirection rules and/or the filter rules. Alternatively, the RADIUS server can request that the NAS re- authorize the session using the procedures defined in [RFC3576]. The RADIUS server responds with an Access-Accept message (with Service-Type(6) set to "Authorize Only" that will contain the redirection and optionally filtering rules within a NAS-Traffic- Rule(TBD) attribute. A.2.3 HTTP Redirection Removal HTTP Redirection rules can be automatically removed mid-session from the NAS using the redir-cnt parameter or explicitly removed from the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server can explicitly turn HTTP redirection off mid-session in two ways. It can push new redirection rules within a NAS-Traffic-Rule(TBD) attribute using a CoA-Request message or it can send the NAS a CoA-Request message requesting it to re-authorize. Congdon, et al. Informational [Page 23] INTERNET-DRAFT VLAN, Priority, and Filtering Attributes 9 June 2005 When using CoA-Request message to return the redirection and filtering back to "normal," there needs to be either a filter rule (or filter-id) or redirection rule that corresponds to the "normal" state. If normally the session did not have any filter and or redirection rules applied, the RADIUS server can send a NAS-Traffic-Rule(TBD) with the action of "flush" in the CoA- Request message. This action will cause all the filter rules and redirection rules previously assigned to the session to be removed. A.3 Accounting Every time a session is redirected and every time the redirection is reverted back a new session is created and the old one is terminated. Therefore the NAS MUST generate and Accounting- Request(Stop) for the old session and an Accounting-Request(Start) for the new session. A.4 Example Scenarios The following two examples illustrate the user's experience when being redirected. For the first example assume an [IEEE8021X] environment, whereby a user connects to the enterprise LAN and initiates an authentication handshake. As part of the overall authentication process, it is also possible to pass endpoint state such as patch level, virus signature status, etc., all of which can be verified by a back-end server for policy compliancy and alter the authentication and authorization decision. In instances that an end-host is not in compliancy, the NAS may be instructed to limit network access in some fashion (i.e. quarantine) and limit network access to remediation services and a web-based information site. A user may sense degraded network performance and open a web session, which the NAS would redirect to the web-based information site for compliancy status, remediation actions, etc. For the second example assume an ISP environment, whereby a prepaid user is roaming the net in their hotel room over WiFi and is to be Hot-lined because their account has no more funds. The user's Service Provider instructs the NAS to block all traffic, and redirect any port 80 traffic to the Service Provider's Prepaid Portal. Upon detecting that there is no service, the user launches his browser and regardless of which web site is being accessed the browser traffic will arrive at the Prepaid Portal which will then return a page back to the subscriber indicating that he needs to replenish his account.
