From a state machine aspect, PANA protocol consists of three phases From a state machine point of view, the PANA protocol consists of
three phases
1. Discovery and initial handshake phase 1. Discovery and initial handshake phase
2. Authentication phase 2. Authentication phase
3. Termination phase 3. Termination phase
In the first phase, an IP address of PAA is discovered and a PANA In the first phase, an IP address of PAA is discovered and a PANA
session is established between PaC and PAA. EAP messages are session is established between PaC and PAA. EAP messages are
exchanged and a PANA SA is established in the second phase. The exchanged and a PANA SA is established in the second phase. The PANA
established PANA session as well as a PANA SA is deleted in the third session as well as the PANA SA is deleted in the third phase.
phase.
4. Protocol Details In addition, PANA defines the following two types of
re-authentication procedures that are performed while an established
PANA session exists.
4.1 Common Processing Rules 1. Re-authentication based on EAP
4.1.1 Payload Encoding 2. Re-authentication based on PANA-Reauth exchange
The former type of re-authentication is used mainly for extending
authorization lifetime or for updating the cryptographic keying
material of a PANA SA. The latter type of re-authentication is used
mainly for maintaining the presence of the communicating peers each
other so that the established PANA session can be terminated as soon
as the presence of the peer is lost.
3.1 Illustration of a Complete Message Sequence
A complete PANA message sequence is illustrated in Figure 2. The
example assumes the following scenario:
o The PaC initiates the discovery and initial handshake phase by
multicasting a PANA-PAA-Discover message. The PAA responds with a
PANA-Start-Request message with a cookie to be stateless in the
discovery and initial handshake phase. At the end of the the
discovery and initial handshake phase, the PaC sends a
PANA-Start-Answer message with a cookie in response to the
PANA-Start-Request.
o An EAP authentication method with a single round trip is used in
the authentication phase. A AAA-Key is derived from the EAP
method and used for establishing a PANA SA.
o At the end of the authentication phase, the PAA sends a
PANA-Bind-Request message and the PaC responds with a
PANA-Bind-Answer message. These messages contains a MAC AVP and a
Key-Id AVP, as well as other AVPs for which usages are explained
in Section 4, to securely establish a PANA session with a PANA SA.
o After the PANA SA is established, all messages are integrity and
replay protected with MAC AVPs.
o Re-authentication based on the PANA-Reauth-Request/ PANA-Reauth
exchange is performed.
o The PaC initiates termination of the PANA session by sending a
PANA-Termination-Request message.
o Sequence numbers in PANA headers are not shown.

involved in using the provided information. See Section 9 for further
discussion on this.
PAA MAY enable NAP-ISP authentication separation by setting the
S-flag of the message header of the PANA-Start-Request. Also, the
PANA-Start-Request MAY contain zero or one NAP-Information AVP and
zero or more ISP-Information AVPs to advertise the information on the
NAP and/or ISPs.
When a PaC receives the PANA-Start-Request message in response to the
PANA-PAA-Discover message, it responds with a PANA-Start-Answer
message if it wishes to enter the authentication phase. The
PANA-Start-Answer message contains the initial sequence numbers in
the tseq and rseq fields of the PANA header, a copy of the received
Cookie (if any) as the PANA payload.
If the S-flag of the received PANA-Start-Request message is not set,
PaC MUST NOT set the S-flag in the PANA-Start-Answer message sent
back to the PAA. In this case, PaC MAY indicate its choice of ISP by
including an ISP-Information AVP in the PANA-Start-Answer message.
When a AAA backend is used, the identity of the destination AAA
server or realm MUST be determined based on the explicitly chosen
ISP. When the ISP-Information AVP is not present, the access network
MAY rely on the client identifier carried in the EAP authentication
method to make this determination.
If the S-flag of the received PANA-Start-Request message is set, PaC
can indicate its desire to perform separate EAP authentication for
NAP and ISP by setting the S-flag in the PANA-Start-Answer message.
If the S-flag in the PANA-Start-Answer message is not set, only one
authentication is performed and the processing occurs as described
earlier. If the S-flag in the PANA-Start-Answer message is set, the
determination of the destination AAA server or realm for ISP
authentication is performed as described earlier. In addition, where
backend AAA servers are used for NAP authentication, the NAP is
considered the ultimate AAA realm, and the destination AAA server for
this authentication is determined entirely by the local configuration
on the access server hosting PAA (NAS).
The PaC can choose an ISP and contain an ISP-Information AVP for the
chosen ISP in a PANA-Start-Answer message even when there is no
ISP-Information AVP contained in the PANA-Start-Request message.

4.3 Authentication Phase 4.2.1 Discovery and Initial Handshake with NAP-ISP Authentication
Separation
In the discovery and initial handshake phase, a PAA MAY enable
NAP-ISP authentication separation ([I-D.ietf-pana-framework]) by
setting the S-flag of the message header of the PANA-Start-Request.
Also, the PANA-Start-Request MAY contain zero or one NAP-Information
AVP and zero or more ISP-Information AVPs to advertise the
information on the NAP and/or ISPs.
When a PaC receives the PANA-Start-Request message in response to the
PANA-PAA-Discover message, it responds with a PANA-Start-Answer
message if it wishes to enter the authentication phase. The
PANA-Start-Answer message contains the initial sequence numbers in
the tseq and rseq fields of the PANA header, a copy of the received
Cookie (if any) as the PANA payload.
If the S-flag of the received PANA-Start-Request message is not set,
PaC MUST NOT set the S-flag in the PANA-Start-Answer message sent
back to the PAA. In this case, PaC MAY indicate its choice of ISP by
including an ISP-Information AVP in the PANA-Start-Answer message.
When a AAA backend is used, the identity of the destination AAA
server or realm MUST be determined based on the explicitly chosen
ISP. When the ISP-Information AVP is not present, the access network
MAY rely on the client identifier carried in the EAP authentication
method to make this determination.
If the S-flag of the received PANA-Start-Request message is set, PaC
can indicate its desire to perform separate EAP authentication for
NAP and ISP by setting the S-flag in the PANA-Start-Answer message.
If the S-flag in the PANA-Start-Answer message is not set, only one
authentication is performed and the processing occurs as described in
Section 4.2. If the S-flag in the PANA-Start-Answer message is set,
the determination of the destination AAA server or realm for ISP
authentication is performed as described earlier. In addition, where
backend AAA servers are used for NAP authentication, the NAP is
considered the ultimate AAA realm, and the destination AAA server for
this authentication is determined entirely by the local configuration
on the access server hosting PAA (NAS).
The PaC can choose an ISP and contain an ISP-Information AVP for the
chosen ISP in a PANA-Start-Answer message even when there is no
ISP-Information AVP contained in the PANA-Start-Request message.
When the S-flag is set in a PANA-Start-Request message, the initial
EAP Request MUST NOT be carried in the PANA-Start-Request message.
(If the initial EAP Request were contained in the PANA-Start-Request
message during the S-flag negotiation, the PaC cannot tell whether
the EAP Request is for NAP authentication or ISP authentication.)
4.3 Authentication Phase
The main task in authentication phase is to carry EAP messages The main task in authentication phase is to carry EAP messages
between PaC and PAA. EAP Request messages are carried in PANA- between PaC and PAA. EAP Request messages are carried in
Auth-Request messages and optionally carried in PANA-Start-Request PANA-Auth-Request messages and optionally carried in
messages. EAP Response messages are carried in PANA-Auth-Answer PANA-Start-Request messages. EAP Response messages are carried in
messages and optionally carried in PANA-Start-Answer messages. When PANA-Auth-Answer messages and optionally carried in PANA-Start-Answer
an EAP Success/Failure message is sent from a PAA, the message is messages. When an EAP Success/Failure message is sent from a PAA,
carried in a PANA-Bind-Request (PBR) or PANA-FirstAuth-End-Request the message is carried in a PANA-Bind-Request (PBR) or

The device identifiers used in the context of PANA can be an IP Since PANA is designed over UDP, an answer as well as a request can
address, a MAC address, or an identifier that is not carried on data be lost. In order to provide robustness against possible loss of
synchronization between a PaC and a PAA, the responder MAY send a
duplicate answer to a request that it had just answered. The only
difference between two consecutive duplicate requests are the
sequence numbers and the content of MAC AVP (when present).
o When a PaC receives a duplicate PANA-Start-Request message for
which it has already answered, it SHOULD send a duplicate
PANA-Start-Answer message until it receives a valid
PANA-Auth-Request message.
o When a PaC receives a duplicate PANA-FirstAuth-End-Request message
for which it has already answered, it SHOULD send a duplicate
PANA-FirstAuth-End-Answer message until it receives a valid
PANA-Auth-Request message for the second EAP authentication.
o When a PaC receives a duplicate PANA-Bind-Request message for
which it has already answered, it SHOULD send a duplicate
PANA-Bind-Answer message until it receives some hint provided
outside the PANA protocol (e.g., receipt of a secure association
protocol message from an EP or receipt of data traffic) indicating
that the PAA has received a PANA-Bind-Answer message.
o When a PaC or a PAA receives a duplicate PANA-Termination-Request
message for which it has already answered, it MAY send a duplicate
PANA-Termination-Answer message in accordance with the timers
described in Section 7.
4.8 Device ID Choice
The device identifier used in the context of PANA can be an IP
address, a MAC address, or an identifier that is not carried in data
packets but has local significance in identifying a connected host packets but has local significance in identifying a connected host
(e.g., circuit ID). The last type of identifiers are commonly used (e.g., circuit ID). The last type of identifiers are commonly used

4.8 Session Lifetime 4.9 Updating PaC' Address
A PaC's IP address can change in certain situations. For example,
the PANA framework [I-D.ietf-pana-framework] describes a case in
which a PaC replaces a pre-PANA address (PRPA) with a post-PANA
address (POPA), and the PaC and PAA create host routes to each other
in order to maintain on-link communication based on the POPA. The
PAA needs to be notified about the change of PaC address.
After the PaC has changed its address, it MUST send a
PANA-Update-Request message to the PAA. The message MUST carry the
new PaC address in an IP-Address AVP. If the address contained in
the request is invalid, the PAA MUST send a PANA-Error message with
the result code PANA_INVALID_IP_ADDRESS. Otherwise, the PAA MUST
update the PANA session with the new PaC address and return a
PANA-Update-Answer message. If there is an established PANA SA, both
PANA-Update-Request and PANA-Update-Answer messages MUST be protected
with a MAC AVP.

which it has already answered, it MAY send a duplicate
PANA-Start-Answer message until it receives a valid

o When a PaC receives a duplicate PANA-FirstAuth-End-Request message

o When a PaC receives a duplicate PANA-Bind-Request message for
which it has already answered, it MAY send a duplicate
PANA-Bind-Answer message until it receives some hint provided
outside the PANA protocol (e.g., receipt of a secure association
protocol message from an EP or receipt of data traffic) indicating
that the PAA has received a PANA-Bind-Answer message.
o When a PaC or a PAA receives a duplicate PANA-Termination-Request
message for which it has already answered, it MAY send a duplicate
PANA-Termination-Answer message for a while before deleting the
PANA session. The period to send duplicate
PANA-Termination-Answer messages may be a configurable parameter.
4.12 Mobility Handling
A mobile PaC's network access authentication performance can be
enhanced by deploying a context-transfer-based mechanism, where some
session attributes are transferred from the previous PAA to the new
one in order to avoid performing a full EAP authentication (reactive
approach). Additional mechanisms that are based on the proactive AAA
state establishment at one or more candidate PAAs may be developed in
the future [I-D.irtf-aaaarch-handoff]. The details of a

8.1 PANA UDP Port Number 8.1 PANA UDP Port Number
TBD. PANA uses one well-known UDP port number (Section 4.1.2, Section 4.2
and Section 6.1, which needs to be assigned by the IANA.
8.2 PANA Multicast Address 8.2 PANA Multicast Address
TBD. PANA uses one well-known IPv4 multicast address for which the scope
is limited to be link-local by setting the TTL field to 255, and one
well-known IPv6 link-local scoped multicast address (Section 4.2 and
Section 6.1), which need to be assigned by the IANA.
8.3 PANA Header 8.3 PANA Header
8.3.1 Message Type As defined in Section 6.2, the PANA header contains two fields that
requires IANA namespace management; the Message Type and Flags field.
TBD. 8.3.1 Message Type
8.3.2 Flags The Message Type namespace is used to identify PANA messages. Values
0-16,777,213 are for permanent, standard message types, allocated by
IETF Consensus [IANA]. This document defines the Message Types 1-8.
See Section 6.4.1 for the assignment of the namespace in this
specification.
TBD. The values 16,777,214 and 16,777,215 (hexadecimal values 0xfffffe -
0xffffff) are reserved for experimental messages. As these codes are
only for experimental and testing purposes, no guarantee is made for
interoperability between communicating PaC and PAA using experimental
commands, as outlined in [IANA-EXP].
8.4 AVP Header 8.3.2 Flags
8.4.1 AVP Code There are eight bits in the Flags field of the PANA header. This
document assigns bit 0 ('R'equest), bit 4 ('S'eparate) and bit 5
('N'AP Authentication). The remaining bits MUST only be assigned via
a Standards Action [IANA].
TBD. 8.4 AVP Header
8.4.2 Flags As defined in Section 6.3, the AVP header contains three fields that
requires IANA namespace management; the AVP Code, AVP Flags and
Vendor-Id fields where only the AVP Code and AVP Flags create new
namespaces.
TBD. 8.4.1 AVP Code
8.4.3 Vendor Id The AVP Code namespace is used to identify attributes. There are
multiple namespaces. Vendors can have their own AVP Codes namespace
which will be identified by their Vendor-ID (also known as
Enterprise-Number) and they control the assignments of their
vendor-specific AVP codes within their own namespace. The absence of
a Vendor-ID or a Vendor-ID value of zero (0) identifies the IETF IANA
controlled AVP Codes namespace. The AVP Codes and sometimes also
possible values in an AVP are controlled and maintained by IANA.
TBD. AVP Code 0 is not used. This document defines the AVP Codes
1024-1041. See Section 6.5 for the assignment of the namespace in
this specification.
8.5 AVP Values AVPs may be allocated following Designated Expert with Specification
Required [IANA]. Release of blocks of AVPs (more than 3 at a time
for a given purpose) should require IETF Consensus.
8.5.1 MAC AVP Values Note that PANA defines a mechanism for Vendor-Specific AVPs, where
the Vendor-Id field in the AVP header is set to a non-zero value.
Vendor-Specific AVPs codes are for Private Use and should be
encouraged instead of allocation of global attribute types, for
functions specific only to one vendor's implementation of PANA, where
no interoperability is deemed useful. Where a Vendor-Specific AVP is
implemented by more than one vendor, allocation of global AVPs should
be encouraged instead.
TBD. 8.4.2 Flags
8.5.2 Device-Id AVP Values There are 8 bits in the AVP Flags field of the AVP header, defined in
Section 6.3. This document assigns bit 0 ('V'endor Specific) and bit
1 ('M'andatory). The remaining bits should only be assigned via a
Standards Action .
TBD. 8.5 AVP Values
8.5.3 Protection-Capability AVP Values Certain AVPs in PANA define a list of values with various meanings.
For attributes other than those specified in this section, adding
additional values to the list can be done on a First Come, First
Served basis by IANA [IANA].
TBD. 8.5.1 Algorithm Values of MAC AVP
8.5.4 Result-Code AVP Values As defined in Section 6.5.1, the Algorithm field of MAC AVP (AVP Code
1024) defines the value of 1 (one) for HMAC-SHA1.
TBD. All remaining values are available for assignment via IETF Consensus
[IANA].
8.5.5 Termination-Cause AVP Values 8.5.2 Protection-Capability AVP Values
TBD. As defined in Section 6.5.5, the Protection-Capability AVP (AVP Code
1028) defines the values 0 and 1.
8.5.6 Provider-Identifier AVP Values All remaining values are available for assignment via a Standards
Action [IANA].
TBD. 8.5.3 Termination-Cause AVP Values
8.5.7 Post-PANA-Address-Configuration AVP Values As defined in Section 6.5.6, the Termination-Cause AVP (AVP Code
1029) defines the values 1, 4 and 8.
TBD. All remaining values are available for assignment via IETF Consensus
[IANA].
9. Security Considerations 8.5.4 Result-Code AVP Values
The PANA protocol provides ordered delivery for EAP messages. If an As defined in Section 6.5.7, the Result-Code AVP (AVP Code 1030)
defines the values 2001, 3001-3002, 3008-3009, 4001, 5001-5009 and
5011-5019.
All remaining values are available for assignment via IETF Consensus
[IANA].
8.5.5 Post-PANA-Address-Configuration AVP Values
As defined in Section 6.5.17, the Post-PANA-Address-Configuration AVP
(AVP Code 1040) defines the bits 0 ('N': no configuration), 1 ('D':
DHCP), 2 ('A' stateless autoconfiguration), 3 ('T': DHCP with IPsec
tunnel mode) and 4 ('I': IKEv2).
All remaining values are available for assignment via a Standards
Action [IANA].
9. Security Considerations

10. Open Issues and Change History j) Updating PaC's address
An attacker can generate a PANA-Update-Request with an IP-Address
AVP. There are several threats:
o An attacker spoofs an address and registers itself with the
address. If the registered address is not assigned to any PaC,
subsequent PANA messages sent from the PAA to the attacker will
not reach any node and this is not a significant harm. If the
registered address is assigned to some PaC, subsequent PANA
messages sent from the PAA to the attacker will reach the PaC, but
will be silently discarded because the Session-Id is different.
o An attacker registers other PaC with any address. As a result,
subsequent PANA messages sent from the PAA to the PaC will not
reach the PaC.
To avoid all those attacks against an address update, an additional
mechanism may be defined outside the PANA protocol for the PAA to
validate ownership of the address.
