Introduction 81 In many deployments, it may not be possible for a network to 82 determine the cause of a distributed Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack 83 [RFC4732]. Rather, the network may just realize that some resources 84 seem to be under attack. To improve such situation, the IETF is 85 specifying the DDoS Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) 86 [I-D.ietf-dots-architecture]architecture, where a DOTS client can 87 inform a DOTS server that the network is under a potential attack and 88 that appropriate mitigation actions are required. Indeed, because 89 the lack of a common method to coordinate a real-time response among 90 involved actors and network domains jeopardizes the efficiency of 91 DDoS attack mitigation actions, the DOTS protocol is meant to carry 92 requests for DDoS attack mitigation, thereby reducing the impact of 93 an attack and leading to more efficient responsive actions. 94 [I-D.ietf-dots-use-cases] identifies a set of scenarios for DOTS; 95 most of these scenarios involve a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). 97 The high-level DOTS architecture is illustrated in Figure 1 98 ([I-D.ietf-dots-architecture]): 100 +-----------+ +-------------+ 101 | Mitigator | ~~~~~~~~~~ | DOTS Server | 102 +-----------+ +-------------+ 103 | 104 | 105 | 106 +---------------+ +-------------+ 107 | Attack Target | ~~~~~~ | DOTS Client | 108 +---------------+ +-------------+ 110 Figure 1: Basic DOTS Architecture 112 [I-D.ietf-dots-architecture] specifies that the DOTS client may be 113 provided with a list of DOTS servers; each of these servers is 114 associated with one or more IP addresses. These addresses may or may 115 not be of the same address family. The DOTS client establishes one 116 or more DOTS sessions by connecting to the provided DOTS server(s) 117 addresses. 119 DOTS may be deployed within networks that are connected to one single 120 upstream provider. It can also be enabled within networks that are 121 multi-homed. The reader may refer to [RFC3582] for an overview of 122 multi-homing goals and motivations. This document discusses DOTS 123 multi-homing considerations. Specifically, the document aims to: 125 1. Complete the base DOTS architecture with multi-homing specifics. 126 Those specifics need to be taken into account because: 128 * Send a DOTS mitigation request to an arbitrary DOTS server 129 won't help mitigating a DDoS attack. 131 * Blindly forking all DOTS mitigation requests among all 132 available DOTS servers is suboptimal. 134 * Sequentially contacting DOTS servers may increase the delay 135 before a mitigation plan is enforced. 137 2. Identify DOTS deployment schemes in a multi-homing context, where 138 DOTS services can be offered by all or a subset of upstream 139 providers. 141 3. Sketch guidelines and recommendations for placing DOTS requests 142 in multi-homed networks, e.g.,: 144 * Select the appropriate DOTS server(s). 146 * Identify cases where anycast is not recommended. 148 This document adopts the following methodology: 150 o Identify and extract viable deployment candidates from 151 [I-D.ietf-dots-use-cases]. 153 o Augment the description with multi-homing technicalities, e.g., 155 * One vs. multiple upstream network providers 157 * One vs. multiple interconnect routers 159 * Provider-Independent (PI) vs. Provider-Aggregatable (PA) IP 160 addresses 162 o Describe the recommended behavior of DOTS clients and gateways for 163 each case. 165 Multi-homed DOTS agents are assumed to make use of the protocols 166 defined in [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel] and 167 [I-D.ietf-dots-data-channel]; no specific extension is required to 168 the base DOTS protocols for deploying DOTS in a multi-homed context. 170 2. Requirements Language 172 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", 173 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and 174 "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 175 14 [RFC2119][RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all 176 capitals, as shown here. 178 3. Terminology 180 This document makes use of the terms defined in 181 [I-D.ietf-dots-architecture] and [RFC4116]. 183 IP indifferently refers to IPv4 or IPv6. 185 4. Multi-Homing Scenarios 187 This section describes some multi-homing scenarios that are relevant 188 to DOTS. In the following sub-sections, only the connections of 189 border routers are shown; internal network topologies are not 190 elaborated. 192 This section distinguishes between residential CPEs vs. enterprise 193 CPEs because PI addresses may be used for enterprises while this is 194 not the current practice for residential CPEs. 196 4.1. Residential Single CPE 198 The scenario shown in Figure 2 is characterized as follows: 200 o The home network is connected to the Internet using one single CPE 201 (Customer Premises Equipment). 203 o The CPE is connected to multiple provisioning domains (i.e., both 204 fixed and mobile networks). Provisioning domain (PvD) is 205 explained in [RFC7556]. 207 o Each of these provisioning domains assigns IP addresses/prefixes 208 to the CPE and provides additional configuration information such 209 as a list of DNS servers, DNS suffixes associated with the 210 network, default gateway address, and DOTS server's name 211 [I-D.boucadair-dots-server-discovery]. These addresses/prefixes 212 are assumed to be Provider-Aggregatable (PA). 214 o Because of ingress filtering, packets forwarded by the CPE towards 215 a given provisioning domain must be sent with a source IP address 216 that was assigned by that domain [RFC8043]. 218 +-------+ +-------+ 219 |Fixed | |Mobile | 220 |Network| |Network| 221 +---+---+ +---+---+ 222 | | Service Providers 223 ............|....................|....................... 224 +---------++---------+ Home Network 225 || 226 +--++-+ 227 | CPE | 228 +-----+ 229 ... (Internal Network) 231 Figure 2: Typical Multi-homed Residential CPE 233 4.2. Multi-Homed Enterprise: Single CPE, Multiple Upstream ISPs 235 The scenario shown in Figure 3 is characterized as follows: 237 o The enterprise network is connected to the Internet using one 238 single router. 240 o That router is connected to multiple provisioning domains (i.e., 241 managed by distinct administrative entities). 243 Unlike the previous scenario, two sub-cases can be considered for an 244 enterprise network with regards to assigned addresses: 246 1. PI addresses/prefixes: The enterprise is the owner of the IP 247 addresses/prefixes; the same address/prefix is then used when 248 establishing communications over any of the provisioning domains. 250 2. PA addresses/prefixes: Each of the provisioning domains assigns 251 IP addresses/prefixes to the enterprise network. 253 +------+ +------+ 254 | ISP1 | | ISP2 | 255 +---+--+ +--+---+ 256 | | Service Providers 257 ............|....................|....................... 258 +---------++---------+ Enterprise Network 259 || 260 +--++-+ 261 | rtr | 262 +-----+ 263 ... (Internal Network) 265 Figure 3: Multi-homed Enterprise Network (Single CPE connected to 266 Multiple Networks) 268 4.3. Multi-homed Enterprise: Multiple CPEs, Multiple Upstream ISPs 270 This scenario is similar to the one described in Section 4.2; the 271 main difference is that dedicated routers are used to connect to each 272 provisioning domain. 274 +------+ +------+ 275 | ISP1 | | ISP2 | 276 +---+--+ +--+---+ 277 | | Service Providers 278 ......................|..........|....................... 279 | | Enterprise Network 280 +---+--+ +--+---+ 281 | rtr1 | | rtr2 | 282 +------+ +------+ 284 ... (Internal Network) 286 Figure 4: Multi-homed Enterprise Network (Multiple CPEs, Multiple 287 ISPs) 289 4.4. Multi-homed Enterprise with the Same ISP 291 This scenario is a variant of Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 in which 292 multi-homing is supported by the same ISP (i.e., same provisioning 293 domain). 295 Editor's Note: The use of anycast addresses is to be consistently 296 discussed. 298 5. DOTS Multi-homing Deployment Considerations 300 Table 1 provides some sample, non-exhaustive, deployment schemes to 301 illustrate how DOTS agents may be deployed for each of the scenarios 302 introduced in Section 4. 304 +---------------------------+-------------------------+-------------+ 305 | Scenario | DOTS client | DOTS | 306 | | | gateway | 307 +---------------------------+-------------------------+-------------+ 308 | Residential CPE | CPE | N/A | 309 +---------------------------+-------------------------+-------------+ 310 | Single CPE, Multiple | internal hosts or CPE | CPE | 311 | provisioning domains | | | 312 +---------------------------+-------------------------+-------------+ 313 | Multiple CPEs, Multiple | internal hosts or all | CPEs (rtr1 | 314 | provisioning domains | CPEs (rtr1 and rtr2) | and rtr2) | 315 +---------------------------+-------------------------+-------------+ 316 | Multi-homed enterprise, | internal hosts or all | CPEs (rtr1 | 317 | Single provisioning | CPEs (rtr1 and rtr2) | and rtr2) | 318 | domain | | | 319 +---------------------------+-------------------------+-------------+ 321 Table 1: Sample Deployment Cases 323 These deployment schemes are further discussed in the following sub- 324 sections. 326 5.1. Residential CPE 328 Figure 5 depicts DOTS sessions that need to be established between a 329 DOTS client (C) and two DOTS servers (S1, S2) within the context of 330 the scenario described in Section 4.1. 332 For each provisioning domain, the DOTS client MUST resolve the DOTS 333 server's name provided by a provisioning domain 334 ([I-D.boucadair-dots-server-discovery]) using the DNS servers learned 335 from the respective provisioning domain. IPv6-capable DOTS clients 336 MUST use the source address selection algorithm defined in [RFC6724] 337 to select the candidate source addresses to contact each of these 338 DOTS servers. DOTS sessions MUST be established and maintained with 339 each of the DOTS servers because the mitigation scope of these 340 servers is restricted. The DOTS client SHOULD use the certificate 341 provisioned by a provisioning domain to authenticate itself to the 342 DOTS server provided by the same provisioning domain. 344 When conveying a mitigation request to protect the attack target(s), 345 the DOTS client among the DOTS servers available MUST select a DOTS 346 server whose network has assigned the prefixes from which target 347 prefixes and target IP addresses are derived. This implies that if 348 no appropriate DOTS server is found, the DOTS client MUST NOT send 349 the mitigation request to any DOTS server. 351 For example, a mitigation request to protect target resources bound 352 to a PA IP address/prefix cannot be satisfied by a provisioning 353 domain another domain than the one that owns those addresses/ 354 prefixes. Consequently, if a CPE detects a DDoS attack that spreads 355 over all its network attachments, it MUST contact both DOTS servers 356 for mitigation purposes. Nevertheless, if the DDoS attack is 357 received from one single network, then only the DOTS server of that 358 network MUST be contacted. 360 The DOTS client MUST be able to associate a DOTS server with each 361 provisioning domain. For example, if the DOTS client is provisioned 362 with S1 using DHCP when attaching to a first network and with S2 363 using Protocol Configuration Option (PCO) when attaching to a second 364 network, the DOTS client must record the interface from which a DOTS 365 server was provisioned. DOTS signaling session to a given DOTS 366 server must be established using the interface from which the DOTS 367 server was provisioned. 369 +--+ 370 -----------|S1| 371 / +--+ 372 / 373 / 374 +---+/ 375 | C | 376 +---+\ 377 \ 378 \ 379 \ +--+ 380 -----------|S2| 381 +--+ 383 Figure 5: DOTS associations for a multihomed residential CPE 385 5.2. Multi-Homed Enterprise: Single CPE, Multiple Upstream ISPs 387 Figure 6 illustrates a first set of DOTS associations that can be 388 established with a DOTS gateway, which is enabled within the context 389 of the scenario described in Section 4.2. This deployment is 390 characterized as follows: 392 o One of more DOTS clients are enabled in hosts located in the 393 internal network. 395 o A DOTS gateway is enabled to aggregate and then relay the requests 396 towards upstream DOTS servers. 398 When PA addresses/prefixes are in use, the same considerations 399 discussed in Section 5.1 need to be followed by the DOTS gateway to 400 contact its DOTS server(s). The DOTS gateways can be reachable from 401 DOTS clients by using an unicast address or an anycast address. 403 Nevertheless, when PI addresses/prefixes are assigned, the DOTS 404 gateway MUST send mitigation requests to all its DOTS servers. 405 Otherwise, the attack traffic may still be delivered via the ISP 406 which hasn't received the mitigation request. 408 +--+ 409 -----------|S1| 410 +---+ / +--+ 411 | C1|----+ / 412 +---+ | / 413 +---+ +-+-+/ 414 | C3|------| G | 415 +---+ +-+-+\ 416 +---+ | \ 417 | C2|----+ \ 418 +---+ \ +--+ 419 -----------|S2| 420 +--+ 422 Figure 6: Multiple DOTS Clients, Single DOTS Gateway, Multiple DOTS 423 Servers 425 An alternate deployment model is depicted in Figure 7. This 426 deployment assumes that: 428 o One or more DOTS clients are enabled in hosts located in the 429 internal network. These DOTS clients may use 430 [I-D.boucadair-dots-server-discovery] to discover their DOTS 431 server(s). 433 o These DOTS clients communicate directly with upstream DOTS 434 servers. 436 If PI addresses/prefixes are in use, the DOTS client MUST send a 437 mitigation request to all the DOTS servers. The use of anycast 438 addresses to reach the DOTS servers is NOT RECOMMENDED. 440 If PA addresses/prefixes are used, the same considerations discussed 441 in Section 5.1 need to be followed by the DOTS clients. Because DOTS 442 clients are not embedded in the CPE and multiple addreses/prefixes 443 may not be assigned to the DOTS client (typically in an IPv4 444 context), some issues arise to steer traffic towards the appropriate 445 DOTS server by using the appropriate source IP address. These 446 complications discussed in [RFC4116] are not specific to DOTS. 448 +--+ 449 +--------|C1|--------+ 450 | +--+ | 451 +--+ +--+ +--+ 452 |S2|------|C3|------|S1| 453 +--+ +--+ +--+ 454 | +--+ | 455 +--------|C2|--------+ 456 +--+ 458 Figure 7: Multiple DOTS Clients, Multiple DOTS Servers 460 Another deployment approach is to enable many DOTS clients; each of 461 them is responsible for handling communications with a specific DOTS 462 server (see Figure 8). 464 +--+ 465 +--------|C1| 466 | +--+ 467 +--+ +--+ +--+ 468 |S2| |C2|------|S1| 469 +--+ +--+ +--+ 471 Figure 8: Single Homed DOTS Clients 473 Each DOTS client SHOULD be provided with policies (e.g., a prefix 474 filter that will be against DDoS detection alarms) that will trigger 475 DOTS communications with the DOTS servers. Such policies will help 476 the DOTS client to select the appropriate destination DOTS server. 478 The CPE MUST select the appropriate source IP address when forwarding 479 DOTS messages received from an internal DOTS client. If anycast 480 addresses are used to reach DOTS servers, the CPE may not be able to 481 select the appropriate provisioning domain to which the mitigation 482 request should be forwarded. As a consequence, the request may not 483 be forwarded to the appropriate DOTS server. 485 5.3. Multi-Homed Enterprise: Multiple CPEs, Multiple Upstream ISPs 487 The deployments depicted in Figures 7 and 8 also apply to the 488 scenario described in Section 4.3. One specific problem for this 489 scenario is to select the appropriate exit router when contacting a 490 given DOTS server. 492 An alternative deployment scheme is shown in Figure 9: 494 o DOTS clients are enabled in hosts located in the internal network. 496 o A DOTS gateway is enabled in each CPE (rtr1, rtr2). 498 o Each of these DOTS gateways communicates with the DOTS server of 499 the provisioning domain. 501 When PI addresses/prefixes are used, DOTS clients MUST contact all 502 the DOTS gateways to send a DOTS message. DOTS gateways will then 503 relay the request to the DOTS server. Note that the use of anycast 504 addresses is NOT RECOMMENDED to establish DOTS sessions between DOTS 505 clients and DOTS gateways. 507 When PA addresses/prefixes are used, but no filter rules are provided 508 to DOTS clients, the latter MUST contact all DOTS gateways 509 simultaneously to send a DOTS message. Upon receipt of a request by 510 a DOTS gateway, it MUST check whether the request is to be forwarded 511 upstream (if the target IP prefix is managed by the upstream server) 512 or rejected. 514 When PA addresses/prefixes are used, but specific filter rules are 515 provided to DOTS clients using some means that are out of scope of 516 this document, the clients MUST select the appropriate DOTS gateway 517 to reach. The use of anycast addresses is NOT RECOMMENDED to reach 518 DOTS gateways. 520 +---+ 521 +------------| C1|----+ 522 | +---+ | 523 +--+ +-+-+ +---+ +-+-+ +--+ 524 |S2|------|G2 |------| C3|------|G1 |------|S1| 525 +--+ +-+-+ +---+ +-+-+ +--+ 526 | +---+ | 527 +------------| C2|----+ 528 +---+ 530 Figure 9: Multiple DOTS Clients, Multiple DOTS Gateways, Multiple 531 DOTS Servers 533 5.4. Multi-Homed Enterprise: Single ISP 535 The key difference of the scenario described in Section 4.4 compared 536 to the other scenarios is that multi-homing is provided by the same 537 ISP. Concretely, that ISP can decide to provision the enterprise 538 network with: 540 1. The same DOTS server for all network attachments. 542 2. Distinct DOTS servers for each network attachment. These DOTS 543 servers need to coordinate when a mitigation action is received 544 from the enterprise network. 546 In both cases, DOTS agents enabled within the enterprise network MAY 547 decide to select one or all network attachments to send DOTS 548 mitigation requests. 550 6. Security Considerations 552 DOTS-related security considerations are discussed in Section 4 of 553 [I-D.ietf-dots-architecture]. 555 TBD: In Home networks, if EST is used then how will the DOTS gateway 556 (EST client) be provisioned with credentials for initial enrolment 557 (see Section 2.2 in RFC 7030). 559 7. IANA Considerations 561 This document does not require any action from IANA. 563 8.
