| and mesh topologies. This specification modifies and extends the | and mesh topologies. In that context, "Neighbor Discovery | |||
| behavior and protocol elements of "Neighbor Discovery Optimization | Optimization for IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks" | |||
| for IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks" (6LoWPAN ND) | (6LoWPAN ND) [RFC6775] defines a registration mechanism that | |||
| [RFC6775] to enable additional capabilities and enhancements | leverages a central registrar for the main purpose of Duplicate | |||
| including: | Address Detection (DAD), with the intention to reduce the dependency | |||
| of the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery Protocol (IPv6 ND) [RFC4861][RFC4862] | ||||
| on network-layer multicast and link-layer broadcast operations. | ||||
| This specification updates 6LoWPAN ND to simplify the registration | ||||
| operation in 6LoWPAN routers and to extend the protocol as a more | ||||
| generic registration technique. The specified updates enable other | ||||
| specifications to define new services such as Source Address | ||||
| Validation (SAVI) with [I-D.ietf-6lo-ap-nd], participation as an | ||||
| unaware leaf to an abstract routing protocol such as the "Routing | ||||
| Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks" [RFC6550] (RPL) with | ||||
| [I-D.thubert-roll-unaware-leaves], and registration to a backbone | ||||
| routers performing proxy Neighbor Discovery in a Low-Power and Lossy | ||||
| Network (LLN) with [I-D.ietf-6lo-backbone-router]. | ||||
| In more details, this specification modifies and extends the behavior | ||||
| and protocol elements of 6LoWPAN ND to enable the following new | ||||
| capabilities: | ||||
| o determining the freshest location in case of mobility (TID) | o determining the freshest location in case of mobility (TID) | |||

| 4. Updating RFC 6775 | 4. Extended ND Options and Messages | |||
| This specification introduces the Extended Address Registration | This specification does not introduce new options, but it modifies | |||

| populated. The 'T' flag MUST be set in NS messages when this | ||||
| specification is used, and echoed in NA messages to confirm that the | 4.1. Extended Address Registration Option (EARO) | |||
| protocol is supported. The EUI-64 field is overloaded to carry | ||||
| different types of information and its size may be increased when | The Address Registration Option (ARO) is defined in section 4.1 of | |||
| backward compatibility is not an issue. | [RFC6775]. This specification introduces the Extended Address | |||
| Registration Option (EARO) based on the ARO for use in NS and NA | ||||
| messages. The EARO conveys additional information such as a sequence | ||||
| counter called Transaction ID (TID) that is used to determine the | ||||
| latest location of a registering mobile device. A 'T' flag is added | ||||
| to indicate that the TID field is populated. | ||||
| The EARO also signals whether the 6LN expects routing or proxy | ||||
| services from the 6LR using a new 'R' flag. | ||||
| The EUI-64 field is overloaded and renamed ROVR in order to carry | ||||
| different types of information, e.g., cryptographic information of | ||||
| variable size. A larger ROVR size may be used if and only if | ||||
| backward compatibility is not an issue in the particular deployment. | ||||
| Section 5.1 discusses those changes in depth. | ||||
| An NS message with an EARO is a registration if and only if it also | ||||
| carries an SLLA Option [RFC6775]. The EARO is also used in NS and NA | ||||
| messages between Backbone Routers [I-D.ietf-6lo-backbone-router] over | ||||
| the Backbone Link to sort out the distributed registration state; in | ||||
| that case, it does not carry the SLLA Option and is not confused with | ||||
| a registration. | ||||
| When using the EARO, the address being registered is found in the | ||||
| Target Address field of the NS and NA messages. | ||||
| The EARO extends the ARO and is indicated by the 'T' flag being set. | ||||
| The format of the EARO is as follows: | ||||

| Type: 33 | ||||
| Length: 8-bit unsigned integer. The length of the whole | ||||
| option in units of 8 bytes. It MUST be 2 when | ||||
| operating in a backward-compatible mode with a ROVR | ||||
| size of 64 bits. It MAY be 3, 4 or 5, denoting a | ||||
| ROVR size of 128, 192 and 256 bits respectively. | ||||
| Status: 8-bit unsigned integer. Indicates the status of a | ||||
| registration in the NA response. MUST be set to 0 in | ||||
| NS messages. See Table 1 below. | ||||
| +-------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ | ||||
| | Value | Description | | ||||
| +-------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ | ||||
| | 0..2 | See [RFC6775]. Note: a Status of 1 ("Duplicate Address") | | ||||
| | | applies to the Registered Address. If the Source Address | | ||||
| | | conflicts with an existing registration, "Duplicate | | ||||
| | | Source Address" MUST be used. | | ||||
| | | | | ||||
| | 3 | Moved: The registration failed because it is not the | | ||||
| | | freshest. This Status indicates that the registration is | | ||||
| | | rejected because another more recent registration was | | ||||
| | | done, as indicated by a same ROVR and a more recent TID. | | ||||
| | | One possible cause is a stale registration that has | | ||||
| | | progressed slowly in the network and was passed by a more | | ||||
| | | recent one. It could also indicate a ROVR collision. | | ||||
| | | | | ||||
| | 4 | Removed: The binding state was removed. This status may | | ||||
| | | be placed in an NA(EARO) message that is sent as the | | ||||
| | | rejection of a proxy registration to a Backbone Router, | | ||||
| | | or in an asynchronous NA(EARO) at any time. | | ||||
| | | | | ||||
| | 5 | Validation Requested: The Registering Node is challenged | | ||||
| | | for owning the Registered Address or for being an | | ||||
| | | acceptable proxy for the registration. This Status is | | ||||
| | | expected in asynchronous messages from a registrar (6LR, | | ||||
| | | 6LBR, 6BBR) to indicate that the registration state is | | ||||
| | | removed, for instance, due to a movement of the device. | | ||||
| | | | | ||||
| | 6 | Duplicate Source Address: The address used as source of | | ||||
| | | the NS(ARO) conflicts with an existing registration. | | ||||
| | | | | ||||
| | 7 | Invalid Source Address: The address used as source of the | | ||||
| | | NS(ARO) is not a Link-Local Address as prescribed by this | | ||||
| | | document. | | ||||
| | | | | ||||
| | 8 | Registered Address topologically incorrect: The address | | ||||
| | | being registered is not usable on this link, e.g., it is | | ||||
| | | not topologically correct | | ||||
| | | | | ||||
| | 9 | 6LBR Registry saturated: A new registration cannot be | | ||||
| | | accepted because the 6LBR Registry is saturated. Note: | | ||||
| | | this code is used by 6LBRs instead of Status 2 when | | ||||
| | | responding to a Duplicate Address message exchange and is | | ||||
| | | passed on to the Registering Node by the 6LR. | | ||||
| | | | | ||||
| | 10 | Validation Failed: The proof of ownership of the | | ||||
| | | registered address is not correct. | | ||||
| +-------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ | ||||

| Reserved: This field is unused. It MUST be initialized to zero | ||||
| by the sender and MUST be ignored by the receiver. | ||||
| R: One-bit flag. If the 'R' flag is set, the | ||||
| Registering Node expects that the 6LR ensures | ||||
| reachability for the registered address, e.g., by | ||||
| injecting the address in a Route-Over routing | ||||
| protocol or proxying ND over a Backbone Link. | ||||
| T: One-bit flag. Set if the next octet is used as a | ||||
| TID. | ||||
| TID: One-byte integer; a Transaction ID that is maintained | ||||
| by the node and incremented with each transaction of | ||||
| one or more registrations performed at the same time | ||||
| to one or more respective 6LRs. This field MUST be | ||||
| ignored if the 'T' flag is not set. | ||||
| Registration Lifetime: 16-bit integer; expressed in minutes. 0 | ||||
| means that the registration has ended and the | ||||
| associated state MUST be removed. | ||||
| Registration Ownership Verifier (ROVR): Enables the correlation | ||||
| between multiple attempts to register a same IPv6 | ||||
| Address. The ROVR is stored in the 6LR and the 6LBR | ||||
| in the state associated to the registration. This | ||||
| can be a unique ID of the Registering Node, such as | ||||
| the EUI-64 address of an interface. This can also be | ||||
| a token obtained with cryptographic methods which can | ||||
| be used in additional protocol exchanges to associate | ||||
| a cryptographic identity (key) with this registration | ||||
| to ensure that only the owner can modify it later. | ||||
| The scope of a ROVR is the registration of a | ||||
| particular IPv6 Address and it must not be used to | ||||
| correlate registrations of different addresses. | ||||
| 4.2. Extended Duplicate Address Message Formats | ||||
| The DAR and DAC messages are defined in section 4.4 of [RFC6775]. | ||||
| Those messages follow a common base format, which enables information | ||||
| from the ARO to be transported over multiple hops. | ||||
| Those messages are extended to adapt to the new EARO format, as | ||||

| Code: The ICMP Code as defined in [RFC4443]. The ICMP Code | ||||
| MUST be set to 1 with this specification. An non- | ||||
| null value of the ICMP Code indicates support for | ||||
| this specification. | ||||
| TID: 1-byte integer; same definition and processing as the | ||||
| TID in the EARO as defined in Section 4.1. This | ||||
| field MUST be ignored if the ICMP Code is null. | ||||
| Registration Ownership Verifier (ROVR): The size of the ROVR is | ||||
| computed from the overall size of the IPv6 packet. | ||||
| It MUST be 64bits long when operating in backward- | ||||
| compatible mode. This field has the same definition | ||||
| and processing as the ROVR in the EARO option as | ||||
| defined in Section 4.1. | ||||
| 4.3. New 6LoWPAN Capability Bits in the Capability Indication Option | ||||
| This specification defines 5 new capability bits for use in the 6CIO, | ||||
| which was introduced by [RFC7400] for use in IPv6 ND RA messages. | ||||
| This specification introduces the "E" flag to indicate that extended | ||||
| ARO can be used in a registration. A 6LR that supports this | ||||
| specification MUST set the "E" flag. | ||||
| A similar flag "D" indicates the support of Extended Duplicate | ||||
| Address Messages by the 6LBR; A 6LBR that supports this specification | ||||
| MUST set the "D" flag. The "D" flag is learned from advertisements | ||||
| by a 6LBR, and is propagated down a graph of 6LRs as a node acting as | ||||
| 6LN registers to a 6LR (which could be the 6LBR), and in turn becomes | ||||
| a 6LR to which other 6LNs will register. | ||||
| The new "L", "B", and "P" flags, indicate whether a router is capable | ||||
| of acting as 6LR, 6LBR, and 6BBR, respectively. These flags are not | ||||
| mutually exclusive and a node MUST set all the flags that are | ||||
| relevant to it. | ||||
| As an example, a 6LBR sets the "B" and "D" flags. If it acts as a | ||||
| 6LR, then it sets the "L" and "E" flags. If it is collocated with a | ||||
| 6BBR, then it also sets the "P" flag. | ||||

| 5. Detecting Enhanced ARO Capability Support | 6. Backward Compatibility | |||
| This specification changes the behavior of the peers in a | ||||
| registration flow. To enable backward compatibility, a 6LN that | ||||
| registers to a 6LR that is not known to support this specification | ||||
| MUST behave in a manner that is backward-compatible with [RFC6775]. | ||||
| On the contrary, if the 6LR is found to support this specification, | ||||
| then the 6LN MUST conform to this specification when communicating | ||||
| with that 6LR. | ||||
| A 6LN that supports this specification MUST always use an EARO as a | ||||
| replacement for an ARO in its registration to a router. This is | ||||
| backward-compatible since the 'T' flag and TID field are reserved in | ||||
| [RFC6775], and are ignored by an RFC6775-only router. A router that | ||||
| supports this specification MUST answer an NS(ARO) and an NS(EARO) | ||||
| with an NA(EARO). A router that does not support this specification | ||||
| will consider the ROVR as an EUI-64 address and treat it the same, | ||||
| which has no consequence if the Registered Addresses are different. | ||||

| 6. Extended ND Options and Messages | 6.2. First Exchanges | |||
| This specification does not introduce new options, but it modifies | ||||
| existing ones and updates the associated behaviors as specified in | ||||
| the following subsections. | ||||
| 6.1. Extended Address Registration Option (EARO) | ||||
| The Address Registration Option (ARO) is defined in section 4.1 of | ||||
| [RFC6775]. | ||||
| The Extended Address Registration Option (EARO) replaces the ARO used | ||||
| within Neighbor Discovery NS and NA messages between a 6LN and its | ||||
| 6LR. Similarly, the EDA messages, EDAR and EDAC, replace the DAR and | ||||
| DAC messages so as to transport the new information between 6LRs and | ||||
| 6LBRs across LLN meshes such as 6TiSCH networks. | ||||
| An NS message with an EARO is a registration if and only if it also | ||||
| carries an SLLA Option. The EARO is also used in NS and NA messages | ||||
| between Backbone Routers [I-D.ietf-6lo-backbone-router] over the | ||||
| Backbone Link to sort out the distributed registration state; in that | ||||
| case, it does not carry the SLLA Option and is not confused with a | ||||
| registration. | ||||
| When using the EARO, the address being registered is found in the | ||||
| Target Address field of the NS and NA messages. | ||||
| The EARO extends the ARO and is indicated by the 'T' flag being set. | ||||
| The format of the EARO is as follows: | ||||
| 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 | ||||

| Length: 8-bit unsigned integer. The length of the option in | ||||
| units of 8 bytes. It MUST be 2 when operating in | ||||
| backward-compatible mode. It MAY be 3, 4 or 5, | ||||
| denoting a ROVR size of 128, 192 and 256 bits | ||||
| respectively. | ||||
| Status: 8-bit unsigned integer. Indicates the status of a | ||||
| registration in the NA response. MUST be set to 0 in | ||||
| NS messages. See Table 1 below. | ||||
| +-------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ | ||||
| | Value | Description | | ||||
| +-------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ | ||||
| | 0..2 | See [RFC6775]. Note: a Status of 1 ("Duplicate Address") | | ||||
| | | applies to the Registered Address. If the Source Address | | ||||
| | | conflicts with an existing registration, "Duplicate | | ||||
| | | Source Address" MUST be used. | | ||||
| | | | | ||||
| | 3 | Moved: The registration failed because it is not the | | ||||
| | | freshest. This Status indicates that the registration is | | ||||
| | | rejected because another more recent registration was | | ||||
| | | done, as indicated by a same ROVR and a more recent TID. | | ||||
| | | One possible cause is a stale registration that has | | ||||
| | | progressed slowly in the network and was passed by a more | | ||||
| | | recent one. It could also indicate a ROVR collision. | | ||||
| | | | | ||||
| | 4 | Removed: The binding state was removed. This status may | | ||||
| | | be placed in an NA(EARO) message that is sent as the | | ||||
| | | rejection of a proxy registration to a Backbone Router, | | ||||
| | | or in an asynchronous NA(EARO) at any time. | | ||||
| | | | | ||||
| | 5 | Validation Requested: The Registering Node is challenged | | ||||
| | | for owning the Registered Address or for being an | | ||||
| | | acceptable proxy for the registration. This Status is | | ||||
| | | expected in asynchronous messages from a registrar (6LR, | | ||||
| | | 6LBR, 6BBR) to indicate that the registration state is | | ||||
| | | removed, for instance, due to a movement of the device. | | ||||
| | | | | ||||
| | 6 | Duplicate Source Address: The address used as source of | | ||||
| | | the NS(ARO) conflicts with an existing registration. | | ||||
| | | | | ||||
| | 7 | Invalid Source Address: The address used as source of the | | ||||
| | | NS(ARO) is not a Link-Local Address as prescribed by this | | ||||
| | | document. | | ||||
| | | | | ||||
| | 8 | Registered Address topologically incorrect: The address | | ||||
| | | being registered is not usable on this link, e.g., it is | | ||||
| | | not topologically correct | | ||||
| | | | | ||||
| | 9 | 6LBR Registry saturated: A new registration cannot be | | ||||
| | | accepted because the 6LBR Registry is saturated. Note: | | ||||
| | | this code is used by 6LBRs instead of Status 2 when | | ||||
| | | responding to a Duplicate Address message exchange and is | | ||||
| | | passed on to the Registering Node by the 6LR. | | ||||
| | | | | ||||
| | 10 | Validation Failed: The proof of ownership of the | | ||||
| | | registered address is not correct. | | ||||
| +-------+-----------------------------------------------------------+ | ||||
| Table 1: EARO Status | ||||
| Reserved: This field is unused. It MUST be initialized to zero | ||||
| by the sender and MUST be ignored by the receiver. | ||||
| R: One-bit flag. If the 'R' flag is set, the | ||||
| Registering Node expects that the 6LR ensures | ||||
| reachability for the registered address, e.g., by | ||||
| injecting the address in a Route-Over routing | ||||
| protocol or proxying ND over a Backbone Link. | ||||
| T: One-bit flag. Set if the next octet is used as a | ||||
| TID. | ||||
| TID: One-byte integer; a Transaction ID that is maintained | ||||
| by the node and incremented with each transaction. | ||||
| Registration Lifetime: 16-bit integer; expressed in minutes. 0 | ||||
| means that the registration has ended and the | ||||
| associated state MUST be removed. | ||||
| Registration Ownership Verifier (ROVR): Enables the correlation | ||||
| between multiple attempts to register a same IPv6 | ||||
| Address. This can be a unique ID of the Registering | ||||
| Node, such as the EUI-64 address of an interface. | ||||
| This can also be a token obtained with cryptographic | ||||
| methods and used as proof of ownership of the | ||||
| registration. The scope of a ROVR is the | ||||
| registration of a particular IPv6 Address and it | ||||
| cannot be used to correlate registrations of | ||||
| different addresses. | ||||
| 6.2. Extended Duplicate Address Message Formats | ||||
| The DAR and DAC messages are defined in section 4.4 of [RFC6775]. | ||||
| Those messages follow a common base format, which enables information | ||||
| from the ARO to be transported over multiple hops. | ||||
| Those messages are extended to adapt to the new EARO format, as | ||||
| follows: | ||||
| 0 1 2 3 | ||||

| Modified Message Fields | ||||
| Code: The ICMP Code as defined in [RFC4443]. The ICMP Code | ||||
| MUST be set to 1 with this specification. An non- | ||||
| null value of the ICMP Code indicates support for | ||||
| this specification. | ||||
| TID: 1-byte integer; same definition and processing as the | ||||
| TID in the EARO as defined in Section 6.1. | ||||
| Registration Ownership Verifier (ROVR): The size of the ROVR is | ||||
| computed from the overall size of the IPv6 packet. | ||||
| It MUST be 64bits long when operating in backward- | ||||
| compatible mode. This field has the same definition | ||||
| and processing as the ROVR in the EARO option as | ||||
| defined in Section 6.1. | ||||
| 6.3. New 6LoWPAN Capability Bits in the Capability Indication Option | ||||
| This specification defines 5 new capability bits for use in the 6CIO, | ||||
| which was introduced by [RFC7400] for use in IPv6 ND RA messages. | ||||
| This specification introduces the "E" flag to indicate that extended | ||||
| ARO can be used in a registration. A 6LR that supports this | ||||
| specification MUST set the "E" flag. | ||||
| A similar flag "D" indicates the support of Extended Duplicate | ||||
| Address Messages by the 6LBR; A 6LBR that supports this specification | ||||
| MUST set the "D" flag. The "D" flag is learned from advertisements | ||||
| by a 6LBR, and is propagated down a graph of 6LRs as a node acting as | ||||
| 6LN registers to a 6LR (which could be the 6LBR), and in turn becomes | ||||
| a 6LR to which other 6LNs will register. | ||||
| The new "L", "B", and "P" flags, indicate whether a router is capable | ||||
| of acting as 6LR, 6LBR, and 6BBR, respectively. These flags are not | ||||
| mutually exclusive and a node MUST set all the flags that are | ||||
| relevant to it. | ||||
| As an example, a 6LBR sets the "B" and "D" flags. If it acts as a | ||||
| 6LR, then it sets the "L" and "E" flags. If it is collocated with a | ||||
| 6BBR, then it also sets the "P" flag. | ||||

| 7. Backward Compatibility | ||||
| 7.1. Discovering the Capabilities of Router | ||||
| A 6LR that supports this specification MUST place a 6CIO in its RA | ||||
| messages. A typical flow when a node starts up is that it sends a | ||||
| multicast RS and receives one or more unicast RA messages. If the | ||||
| 6LR can process Extended ARO, then the "E" Flag is set in the RA. | ||||
| This specification changes the behavior of the peers in a | A typical flow when a node starts up is that it sends a multicast RS | |||

| On the contrary, if the 6LR is known to support this specification, | ||||
| then the 6LN MUST conform to this specification when communicating | ||||
| with that 6LR. | ||||

| A 6LN that supports this specification MUST always use an EARO as a | 6.3. RFC6775-only 6LoWPAN Node | |||

| harmless since the 'T' flag and TID field are reserved in [RFC6775], | ||||
| and are ignored by an RFC6775-only router. A router that supports | ||||
| this specification MUST answer an NS(ARO) and an NS(EARO) with an | ||||

| consider the ROVR as an EUI-64 address and treat it the same, which | ||||
