Terminology 83 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", 84 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and 85 "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in 86 BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all 87 capitals, as shown here. 89 The reader is expected to be familiar with 90 [I-D.ietf-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation] and its terminology 91 section. 93 2. Introduction 95 [I-D.ietf-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation] specifies how an 96 entity designated as the Homenet Naming Authority (HNA) outsources a 97 Public Homenet Zone to an Outsourcing DNS Infrastructure (DOI). 99 This document shows how an ISP can provision automatically the HNA 100 with a specific DOI. Most likely the DOI will be - at least partly 101 be - managed or provided by its ISP, but other cases may envision the 102 ISP storing some configuration so the homenet becomes resilient to 103 HNA replacement. 105 The ISP delegates the home network an IP prefix it owns as well as 106 the associated reverse zone. The ISP is well aware of the owner of 107 that prefix, and as such becomes a natural candidate for hosting the 108 Homenet Reverse Zone - that is the Reverse Distribution Manager (RDM) 109 and potentially the Reverse Public Authoritative Servers. 111 In addition, the ISP often identifies the home network with a name. 112 In most cases, the name is used by the ISP for its internal network 113 management operations and is not a name the home network owner has 114 registered to. The ISP may thus leverage such infrastructure and 115 provide the homenet a specific domain name designated as per 116 [I-D.ietf-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation] a Homenet Registered 117 Domain. Similarly to the reverse zone, the ISP is well aware of who 118 owns that domain name and may become a natural candidate for hosting 119 the Homenet Zone - that is the Distribution Manager (DM) and the 120 Public Authoritative Servers. 122 This document describes DHCPv6 options that enables the ISP to 123 provide the necessary parameters to the HNA, to proceed. More 124 specifically, the ISP provides the Registered Homenet Domain, 125 necessary information on the DM and the RDM so the HNA can manage and 126 upload the Public Homenet Zone and the Reverse Public Homenet Zone as 127 described in [I-D.ietf-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation]. 129 The use of DHCPv6 options makes the configuration completely 130 transparent to the end user and provides a similar level of trust as 131 the one used to provide the IP prefix. 133 3. Protocol Overview 135 This section illustrates how a HNA receives the necessary information 136 via DHCPv6 options to outsource its authoritative naming service to 137 the DOI. For the sake of simplicity, and similarly to 138 [I-D.ietf-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation], this section assumes 139 that the HNA and the home network DHCPv6 client are collocated on the 140 CPE. Note also that this is not mandatory and specific 141 communications between the HNA and the DHCPv6 client only are needed. 142 In addition, this section assumes the responsible entity for the 143 DHCPv6 server is able to configure the DM and RDM. In our case, this 144 means a Registered Homenet Domain can be associated to the DHCP 145 client. 147 This scenario has been chosen as it is believed to be the most 148 popular scenario. This document does not ignore scenarios where the 149 DHCP Server does not have privileged relations with the DM or RDM. 150 These cases are discussed latter in Appendix A. Such scenarios do 151 not necessarily require configuration for the end user and can also 152 be zero-config. 154 The scenario considered in this section is as follows: 156 1. The HNA is willing to outsource the Public Homenet Zone or 157 Homenet Reverse Zone and configures its DHCP Client to include in 158 its Option Request Option (ORO) the Registered Homenet Domain 159 Option (OPTION_REGISTERED_DOMAIN), the Distribution Manager 160 Option (OPTION_DIST_MANAGER) and the Reverse Distribution Manager 161 Option (OPTION_REVERSE_DIST_MANAGER) option codes. 163 2. The DHCP Server responds to the HNA with the requested DHCPv6 164 options based on the identified homenet. The DHCP Client 165 transmits the information to the HNA. 167 3. The HNA is able to get authenticated by the DM and the RDM. The 168 HNA builds the Homenet Zone ( resp. the Homenet Reverse Zone) and 169 proceed as described in 170 [I-D.ietf-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation]. The DHCPv6 171 options provide the necessary and non optional parameters 172 described in section 14 of 173 [I-D.ietf-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation]. The HNA MAY set 174 complement the configurations with additional parameters. 175 Section 14 of [I-D.ietf-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation] 176 describes such parameters that MAY take a default value. 178 4. Payload Description 180 This section details the payload of the DHCPv6 options. 182 4.1. Registered Homenet Domain Option 184 The Registered Domain Option (OPTION_REGISTERED_DOMAIN) indicates the 185 FQDN associated to the home network. 187 0 1 2 3 188 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 1 189 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 190 | OPTION_REGISTERED_DOMAIN | option-len | 191 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 192 | | 193 / Registered Homenet Domain / 194 | | 195 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 197 Figure 1: Registered Domain Option 199 o option-code (16 bits): OPTION_REGISTERED_DOMAIN, the option code 200 for the Registered Homenet Domain (TBD2). 202 o option-len (16 bits): length in octets of the option-data field as 203 described in [RFC8415]. 205 o Registered Homenet Domain (variable): the FQDN registered for the 206 homenet encoded as described in section 10 of [RFC8415]. 208 4.2. Distribution Manager Option 210 The Distributed Manager Option (OPTION_DIST_MANAGER) provides the HNA 211 to FQDN of the DM as well as the transport protocol for the 212 transaction between the HNA and the DM. 214 0 1 2 3 215 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 1 216 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 217 | OPTION_DIST_MANAGER | option-len | 218 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 219 | Supported Transport | | 220 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | 221 | | 222 / Distribution Manager FQDN / 223 | | 224 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 226 Figure 2: Distribution Manager Option 228 o option-code (16 bits): OPTION_DIST_MANAGER, the option code for 229 the Distribution Manager Option (TBD2). 231 o option-len (16 bits): length in octets of the option-data field as 232 described in [RFC8415]. 234 o Supported Transport (16 bits): defines the supported transport by 235 the DM.

The bit for DNS over TLS 237 [RFC7858] MUST be set. 239 o Distribution Manager FQDN (variable): the FQDN of the DM encoded 240 as described in section 10 of [RFC8415]. 242 4.2.1. Supported Transport 244 The Supported Transport filed of the DHCPv6 option indicates the 245 supported transport protocol. Each bit represents a specific 246 transport mechanism. The bit sets to 1 indicates the associated 247 transport protocol is supported. The corresponding bits are assigned 248 as described in Figure 3. 250 Bit | Transport Protocol | Reference 251 ----+--------------------+----------- 252 0 | DNS over TLS | This-RFC 253 1-15| unallocated | 255 Figure 3: Supported Transport 257 o DNS over TLS: indicates the support of DNS over TLS as described 258 in [RFC7858]. 260 4.3.

Each bit represents a supported transport, and a DM MAY 289 indicate the support of multiple modes. The bit for DoT MUST be 290 set. 292 o Reverse Distribution Manager FQDN (variable): the FQDN of the RDM 293 encoded as described in section 10 of [RFC8415]. 295 5. DHCP Behavior 297 5.1. DHCPv6 Server Behavior 299 Sections 17.2.2 and 18.2 of [RFC8415] govern server operation in 300 regards to option assignment. As a convenience to the reader, we 301 mention here that the server will send option foo only if configured 302 with specific values for foo and if the client requested it. In 303 particular, when configured the DHCP Server sends the Registered 304 Homenet Domain Option, Distribution Manager Option, the Reverse 305 Distribution Manager Option when requested by the DHCPv6 client by 306 including necessary option codes in its ORO. 308 5.2. DHCPv6 Client Behavior 310 The DHCPv6 client sends a ORO with the necessary option codes: 311 Registered Homenet Domain Option, Distribution Manager Option, the 312 Reverse Distribution Manager Option. 314 Upon receiving a DHCP option described in this document in the Reply 315 message, the HNA SHOULD proceed as described in 316 [I-D.ietf-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation]. 318 5.3. DHCPv6 Relay Agent Behavior 320 There are no additional requirements for the DHCP Relay agents. 322 6. IANA Considerations 324 IANA is requested to assign the following new DHCPv6 Option Codes in 325 the registry maintained in: https://www.iana.org/assignments/dhcpv6- 326 parameters/dhcpv6-parameters.xhtml#dhcpv6-parameters-2. 328 Value Description Client ORO Singleton Option 329 TBD1 OPTION_REGISTERED_DOMAIN Yes Yes 330 TBD2 OPTION_DIST_MANAGER Yes Yes 331 TBD3 OPTION_REVERSE_DIST_MANAGER Yes Yes 333 IANA is requested to maintain a new number space of Supported 334 Transport parameter in the Distributed Manager Option 335 (OPTION_DIST_MANAGER) or the Reverse Distribution Manager Server 336 Option (OPTION_REVERSE_DIST_MANAGER). The different parameters are 337 defined in Figure 3 in Section 4.2.1. Future code points are 338 assigned under Specification Required as per [RFC8126]. 340 7. Security Considerations 342 The security considerations in [RFC2131] and [RFC8415] are to be 343 considered. The use of DHCPv6 options provides a similar level of 344 trust as the one used to provide the IP prefix. The link between the 345 HNA and the DHCPv6 server may benefit from additional security for 346 example by using [I-D.ietf-dhc-sedhcpv6]. 348 8.

Scenarios and impact on the End User 434 This section details various scenarios and discuss their impact on 435 the end user. This section is not normative and limits the 436 description of a limited scope of scenarios that are assumed to be 437 representative. Many other scenarios may be derived from these. 439 Appendix B. Base Scenario 441 The base scenario is the one described in Section 3 in which an ISP 442 manages the DHCP Server, the DM and RDM. 444 The end user subscribes to the ISP (foo), and at subscription time 445 registers for example.foo as its Registered Homenet Domain 446 example.foo. 448 In this scenario, the DHCP Server, DM and RDM are managed by the ISP 449 so the DHCP Server and as such can provide authentication credentials 450 of the HNA to enable secure authenticated transaction with the DM and 451 the Reverse DM. 453 The main advantage of this scenario is that the naming architecture 454 is configured automatically and transparently for the end user. The 455 drawbacks are that the end user uses a Registered Homenet Domain 456 managed by the ISP and that it relies on the ISP naming 457 infrastructure. 459 B.1. Third Party Registered Homenet Domain 461 This section considers the case when the end user wants its home 462 network to use example.com not managed by her ISP (foo) as a 463 Registered Homenet Domain. This section still consider the ISP 464 manages the home network and still provides example.foo as a 465 Registered Homenet Domain. 467 When the end user buys the domain name example.com, it may request to 468 redirect the name example.com to example.foo using static redirection 469 with CNAME [RFC2181], [RFC1034], DNAME [RFC6672] or CNAME+DNAME 470 [I-D.sury-dnsext-cname-dname]. 472 This configuration is performed once when the domain name example.com 473 is registered. The only information the end user needs to know is 474 the domain name assigned by the ISP. Once this configuration is done 475 no additional configuration is needed anymore. More specifically, 476 the HNA may be changed, the zone can be updated as in Appendix B 477 without any additional configuration from the end user. 479 The main advantage of this scenario is that the end user benefits 480 from the Zero Configuration of the Base Scenario Appendix B. Then, 481 the end user is able to register for its home network an unlimited 482 number of domain names provided by an unlimited number of different 483 third party providers. The drawback of this scenario may be that the 484 end user still rely on the ISP naming infrastructure. Note that the 485 only case this may be inconvenient is when the DNS Servers provided 486 by the ISPs results in high latency. 488 B.2. Third Party DNS Infrastructure 490 This scenario considers that the end user uses example.com as a 491 Registered Homenet Domain, and does not want to rely on the 492 authoritative servers provided by the ISP. 494 In this section we limit the outsourcing to the DM and Public 495 Authoritative Server(s) to a third party. The Reverse Public 496 Authoritative Server(s) and the RDM remain managed by the ISP as the 497 IP prefix is managed by the ISP. 499 Outsourcing to a third party DM can be performed in the following 500 ways: 502 1. Updating the DHCP Server Information. One can imagine a GUI 503 interface that enables the end user to modify its profile 504 parameters. Again, this configuration update is done once-for- 505 ever. 507 2. Upload the configuration of the DM to the HNA. In some cases, 508 the provider of the CPE hosting the HNA may be the registrar and 509 provide the CPE already configured. In other cases, the CPE may 510 request the end user to log into the registrar to validate the 511 ownership of the Registered Homenet Domain and agree on the 512 necessary credentials to secure the communication between the HNA 513 and the DM. As described in 514 [I-D.ietf-homenet-front-end-naming-delegation], such settings 515 could be performed in an almost automatic way as to limit the 516 necessary interactions with the end user. 518 B.3. Multiple ISPs 520 This scenario considers a HNA connected to multiple ISPs. 522 Suppose the HNA has been configured each of its interfaces 523 independently with each ISPS as described in Appendix B. Each ISP 524 provides a different Registered Homenet Domain. 526 The protocol and DHCPv6 options described in this document are fully 527 compatible with a HNA connected to multiple ISPs with multiple 528 Registered Homenet Domains. However, the HNA should be able to 529 handle different Registered Homenet Domains. This is an 530 implementation issue which is outside the scope of the current 531 document. 533 If a HNA is not able to handle multiple Registered Homenet Domains, 534 the HNA may remain connected to multiple ISP with a single Registered 535 Homenet Domain. In this case, one entity is chosen to host the 536 Registered Homenet Domain. This entity may be one of the ISP or a 537 third party. Note that having multiple ISPs can be motivated for 538 bandwidth aggregation, or connectivity fail-over. In the case of 539 connectivity fail-over, the fail-over concerns the access network and 540 a failure of the access network may not impact the core network where 541 the DM Server and Public Authoritative Primaries are hosted. In that 542 sense, choosing one of the ISP even in a scenario of multiple ISPs 543 may make sense. However, for sake of simplicity, this scenario 544 assumes that a third party has been chosen to host the Registered 545 Homenet Domain. Configuration is performed as described in 546 Appendix B.1 and Appendix B.2. 548 With the configuration described in Appendix B.1, the HNA is expect 549 to be able to handle multiple Homenet Registered Domain, as the third 550 party redirect to one of the ISPs Servers. With the configuration 551 described in Appendix B.2, DNS zone are hosted and maintained by the 552 third party. A single DNS(SEC) Homenet Zone is built and maintained 553 by the HNA. This latter configuration is likely to match most HNA 554 implementations. 556 The protocol and DHCPv6 options described in this document are fully 557 compatible with a HNA connected to multiple ISPs. To configure or 558 not and how to configure the HNA depends on the HNA facilities. 559 Appendix B and Appendix B.1 require the HNA to handle multiple 560 Registered Homenet Domain, whereas Appendix B.2 does not have such 561 requirement. 563 Authors' Addresses 565 Daniel Migault 566 Ericsson 567 8275 Trans Canada Route 568 Saint Laurent, QC 4S 0B6 569 Canada 571 EMail: daniel.migault@ericsson.com 572 Ralf Weber 573 Akamai 575 EMail: ralf.weber@akamai.com 577 Tomek Mrugalski 578 Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. 579 950 Charter Street 580 Redwood City 94063 581 US 583 EMail: tomasz.mrugalski@gmail.com
