Abstract

   Mobile IPv6 bootstrapping can be categorized into two primary
   scenarios, the split scenario and the integrated scenario.  In the
   split scenario, the mobile node's mobility service is authorized by a
   different service authorizer than the network access authorizer.  In
   the integrated scenario, the mobile node's mobility service is
   authorized by the same service authorizer as the network access
   service authorizer.  This document defines a method for home agent
   information discovery for the integrated scenario.

1.  Introduction and Scope

   The Mobile IPv6 protocol [RFC3775] requires the mobile node to have
   information of its Home Address, the home agent address and the
   cryptographic materials for establishing an IPsec security
   association with the home agent prior to initiating the registration
   process.  The mechanism via which the mobile node obtains these
   information is called Mobile IPv6 bootstrapping.  In order to allow a
   flexible deployment model for Mobile IPv6, it is desirable to define
   a bootstrapping mechanism for the mobile node to acquire these
   parameters dynamically.  [RFC4640] describes the problem statement
   for Mobile IPv6 bootstrapping.  It also defines the bootstrapping
   scenarios based on the relationship between the entity that
   authenticates and authorizes the mobile node for network access
   (i.e., the Access Service Authorizer) and the entity that
   authenticates and authorizes the mobile node for mobility service
   (i.e., the Mobility Service Authorizer).  The scenario in which the
   Access Service Authorizer is not the Mobility Service Authorizer is
   called the "Split" scenario.  The bootstrapping solution for the
   split scenario is defined in [RFC5026].  The scenario in which the
   Access Service Authorizer is also the Mobility Service Authorizer is
   called the "Integrated" scenario.  This document defines a
   bootstrapping solution for the Integrated scenario.

   [RFC5026] identifies four different components of the bootstrapping
   problem: home agent address discovery, HoA assignment, IPsec Security
   Association [RFC4301] setup, and Authentication and Authorization
   with the MSA.  This document defines a mechanism for home agent
   address discovery.  The other components of bootstrapping are as per
   [RFC5026].

   In the integrated scenario, the bootstrapping of the home agent
   information can be achieved via DHCPv6.  This document defines the
   MIPv6 bootstrapping procedures for the integrated scenario.  It
   enables Home Agent assignment in the integrated scenario by utilizing
   DHCP and AAA protocols.  The specification utilizes DHCP and AAA
   options and AVPs that are defined in [HIOPT], [MIP6-Dime], and
   [MIP6-RADIUS].  This document specifies the interworking among MN,
   NAS, DHCP, and AAA entities for the bootstrapping procedure in the
   integrated scenario.

2.  Terminology

   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 RFC 2119.

   General mobility terminology can be found in [RFC3753].  The
   following additional terms, as defined in [RFC4640], are used in this
   document:

   Access Service Authorizer (ASA): A network operator that
   authenticates a mobile node and establishes the mobile node's
   authorization to receive Internet service.

   Access Service Provider (ASP): A network operator that provides
   direct IP packet forwarding to and from the mobile node.

   Mobility Service Authorizer (MSA): A service provider that authorizes
   Mobile IPv6 service.

   Mobility Service Provider (MSP): A service provider that provides
   Mobile IPv6 service.  A MSP is called home MSP when MSP == MSA.  In
   this document the term MSP means a Mobility Service Provider that has
   roaming relationship with the MSA but it is not the MSA.

   Split scenario: A scenario where the mobility service and the network
   access service are authorized by different entities.

   Integrated Scenario: A scenario where the mobility service and the
   network access service are authorized by the same entity.

3.  Assumptions & Conformance

   The following assumptions are made in this document:

   a.  MSA == ASA.

   b.  MSA and MSP roaming relationship is assumed but not required.

   c.  DHCP relay and NAS are co-located or there is a mechanism to
   transfer received AAA information from the NAS to the DHCP relay.

   Note: If assignment of a home agent in the home MSP is not required
   by a deployment, co-location of the NAS and the DHCP relay functions
   or a mechanism to transfer received AAA information from the NAS to
   the DHCP relay won't be necessary.  In such a case, only the
   implementation of the options and procedures defined in [HIOPT]
   should suffice.

   d.  The NAS shall support MIPv6 specific AAA attributes as specified
   in [MIP6-RADIUS] and [MIP6-Dime].

   e.  The AAAH used for network access authentication (ASA) has access
   to the same database as the AAAH used for the mobility service
   authentication (MSA).

   If home agent assignment only in the ASP is required by the
   deployment, a minimal implementation of this specification MAY only
   support the delivery of information from the DHCP server to the DHCP
   client through [HIOPT].  However, if home agent assignment in the MSP
   is required by the deployment, an implementation conforming to this
   specification SHALL be able to transfer received information (from
   the AAA server) from the NAS to the DHCP relay function.  This can be
   achieved either by co-locating the NAS and the DHCP relay functions
   or via an interface between these functions.  The detail of this
   interface is out of scope of this specification.

4.  Solution Overview

4.1.  Logical View of the Integrated Scenario

   In the integrated scenario, the mobile node utilizes the network
   access authentication process to bootstrap Mobile IPv6.  It is
   assumed that the access service authorizer is mobility service aware.
   This allows for Mobile IPv6 bootstrapping at the time of access
   authentication and authorization.  Also, the mechanism defined in
   this document requires the NAS to support Mobile IPv6 specific AAA
   attributes and a co-located DHCP relay agent.

   The following diagram shows the network elements and layout in the
   integrated scenario:

   network.  The user's home network authorizes the mobile node for
   network access and also for mobility services.  Note that a home
   agent for usage with the mobile node might be selected in the access
   service provider's network or alternatively in the mobility service
   provider's network.

   The mobile node interacts with the DHCP Server via the Relay Agent
   after the network access authentication as part of the mobile node
   configuration procedure.

4.2.  Bootstrapping Message Sequence

   In this case, the mobile node is able to acquire the home agent
   address via a DHCPv6 query.  The message flows for home agent
   allocation in the ASP and the MSP are illustrated below.  In the
   integrated scenario, the ASA and the MSA are the same, it can be
   safely assumed that the AAAH used for network access authentication
   (ASA) has access to the same database as the AAAH used for the
   mobility service authentication (MSA).  Hence, the same AAAH can
   authorize the mobile node for network access and mobility service at
   the same time.  When the MN performs Mobile IPv6 registration, the
   AAAH ensures that the MN is accessing the assigned Home Agent for
   that MSP.

   Figure 2 shows the message sequence for home agent allocation in both
   scenarios -- HA in the MSP, and HA in the ASP.

           Figure 2. Message sequence for Home Agent allocation

4.2.1.  Home Agent allocation in the MSP

   This section describes a scenario where the home agent is allocated
   in the mobile node's MSP network(s).  In order to provide the mobile
   node with information about the assigned home agent, the AAAH conveys
   the assigned home agent's information to the NAS via an AAA protocol,
   e.g., [MIP6-RADIUS] or [MIP6-Dime].

   Figure 2 shows the message sequence for home agent allocation.  In
   the scenario with HA in the MSP, the following details apply.

   (1) The mobile node executes the network access authentication
   procedure (e.g., IEEE 802.11i/802.1X) and it interacts with the NAS.
   The NAS is in the ASP and it interacts with the AAAH, which is in the
   ASA/MSA, to authenticate the mobile node.  In the process of
   authorizing the mobile node, the AAAH verifies in the AAA profile
   that the mobile node is allowed to use the Mobile IPv6 service.  The
   AAAH assigns a home agent in the home MSP and it assigns one or more

Internet-Draft                                                April 2008


   home agent(s) in other authorized MSPs and returns this information
   to the NAS.  The NAS may keep the received information for a
   configurable duration or it may keep the information for as long as
   the MN is connected to the NAS.

   (2) The mobile node sends a DHCPv6 Information Request message
   [RFC3315] to the All_DHCP_Relay_Agents_and_Servers multicast address.
   In this message, the mobile node (DHCP client) SHALL include the
   Option Code for the Home Network Identifier Option [HIOPT] in the
   OPTION_ORO, and a Home Network Identifier Option with id-type set to
   1 and the Home Network Identifier field set to the network realm of
   the home MSP [HIOPT].  The mobile node SHALL also include the
   OPTION_CLIENTID to identify itself to the DHCP server.

   (3) The Relay Agent intercepts the Information Request from the
   mobile node and forwards it to the DHCP server.  The Relay Agent also
   includes the received home agent information from the AAAH in the
   OPTION_MIP6-RELAY-Option [HIOPT].  If a NAS implementation does not
   store the received information as long as the MN's session remains in
   the ASP, and if the MN delays sending a DHCP request, the NAS/DHCP
   relay does not include the OPTION_MIP6-RELAY-Option in the Relay
   Forward message.

   (4) The DHCP server identifies the client by looking at the DUID for
   the client in the OPTION_CLIENTID.  The DHCP server also determines
   that the mobile node is requesting home agent information in the MSP
   by looking at the Home Network Identifier Option (id-type 1).  The
   DHCP server determines that the home agent is allocated by the AAAH
   by looking at the MIP6 home agent sub-option in the OPTION_MIP6-
   RELAY-Option.  The DHCP server extracts the allocated home agent
   information from the OPTION_MIP6-RELAY-Option and includes it in the
   Home Network Information Option [HIOPT] in the Reply Message.  If the
   requested information is not available in the DHCP server, it follows
   the behavior described in [HIOPT].

   (5) The Relay Agent relays the Reply Message from the DHCP server to
   the mobile node.  At this point, the mobile node has the home agent
   information that it requested.

4.2.2.  Home Agent allocation in the ASP

   This section describes a scenario where the mobile node requests for
   home agent allocation in the ASP by setting the id-type field to zero
   in the Home Network Identifier Option [HIOPT] in the DHCPv6 request
   message.  In this scenario, the ASP becomes the MSP for the duration
   of the network access authentication session.

   Figure 2 shows the message sequence for home agent allocation.  In

Internet-Draft                                                April 2008


   the scenario with HA in the ASP, the following details apply.

   (1) The mobile node executes the network access authentication
   procedure (e.g., IEEE 802.11i/802.1X) and it interacts with the NAS.
   The NAS is in the ASP and it interacts with the AAAH, which is in the
   ASA/MSA, to authenticate the mobile node.  In the process of
   authorizing the mobile node, the AAAH verifies in the AAA profile
   that the mobile node is allowed to use the Mobile IPv6 services.  The
   AAAH assigns a home agent in the home MSP and it assigns one or more
   home agent(s) in other authorized MSPs and returns this information
   to the NAS.  Note that the AAAH is not aware of the fact that the
   mobile node prefers a home agent allocation in the ASP.  Therefore
   the assigned home agent may not be used by the mobile node.  This
   leaves the location of the mobility anchor point decision to the
   mobile node.

   (2) The mobile node sends a DHCPv6 Information Request message
   [RFC3315] to the All_DHCP_Relay_Agents_and_Servers multicast address.
   In this message, the mobile node (DHCP client) SHALL include the
   Option Code for the Home Network Identifier Option [HIOPT] in the
   OPTION_ORO, and a Home Network Identifier Option with id-type set to
   0.  The mobile node SHALL also include the OPTION_CLIENTID to
   identify itself to the DHCP server.

   (3) The Relay Agent intercepts the Information Request from the
   mobile node and forwards it to the DHCP server.  The Relay Agent
   (which is the NAS) also includes the received AAA AVP from the AAAH
   in the OPTION_MIP6-RELAY-Option [HIOPT].

   (4) The DHCP server identifies the client by looking at the DUID for
   the client in the OPTION_CLIENTID.  The DHCP server also determines
   that the mobile node is requesting home agent information in the ASP
   by looking at the Home Network Identifier Option (id-type 0).  If
   configured to do so, the DHCP server allocates a home agent from its
   configured list of home agents and includes it in the Home Network
   Information Option [HIOPT] in the Reply Message.  Note that in this
   case, the DHCP server does not use the received information in the
   OPTION_MIP6-RELAY-Option.

   (5) The Relay Agent relays the Reply Message from the DHCP server to
   the mobile node.  At this point, the mobile node has the home agent
   information that it requested.

4.3.  Bootstrapping Message Sequence: Fallback case

   In the fallback case, the mobile node is not able to acquire the home
   agent information via DHCPv6.  The mobile node MAY perform DNS
   queries to discover the home agent address as defined in [RFC5026].

Internet-Draft                                                April 2008


   To perform DNS based home agent discovery, the mobile node needs to
   know the DNS server address.  The details of how the MN is configured
   with the DNS server address is outside the scope of this document.

   In the integrated scenario, the HoA, IPsec Security Association
   setup, and Authentication and Authorization with the MSA are
   bootstrapped via the same mechanism as described in the bootstrapping
   solution for the split scenario [RFC5026].

5.  Security Considerations

   The transport of the assigned home agent information via the AAA
   infrastructure (i.e., from the AAA server to the AAA client) to the
   NAS may only be integrity protected as per standard RADIUS and
   Diameter security mechanisms.  No additional security considerations
   are imposed by the usage of this document.  The security mechanisms
   provided by [RFC2865] and [RFC3588] are applicable for this purpose.
   This document does not introduce any new security issues to Mobile
   IPv6.
