Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) Map Server Map-Server Interface
Abstract
This document describes the Mapping Service for the Locator/ID
Separation Protocol (LISP), implemented by two new types of LISP-
speaking devices -- the LISP Map Resolver Map-Resolver and LISP Map Server Map-Server -- that
provides a simplified "front end" for one or more Endpoint ID to
Routing Locator mapping databases.
By using this service interface and communicating with Map Resolvers Map-Resolvers
and Map Servers, Map-Servers, LISP Ingress Tunnel Routers and Egress Tunnel
Routers are not dependent on the details of mapping database systems,
which facilitates experimentation with different database designs.
Since these devices implement the "edge" of the LISP infrastructure,
connect directly to LISP-capable Internet end sites, and comprise the
bulk of LISP-speaking devices, reducing their implementation and
operational complexity should also reduce the overall cost and effort
of deploying LISP.

1. Introduction
The Locator/ID Separation Protocol [RFC6830] specifies an
architecture and mechanism for replacing the addresses currently used
by IP with two separate name spaces: Endpoint IDs (EIDs), used within
sites; and Routing Locators (RLOCs), used on the transit networks
that make up the Internet infrastructure. To achieve this
separation, LISP defines protocol mechanisms for mapping from EIDs to
RLOCs. In addition, LISP assumes the existence of a database to
store and propagate those mappings globally. Several such databases
have been proposed; among them are the Content distribution Overlay
Network Service for LISP (LISP-CONS) [LISP-CONS], LISP-NERD (a Not-
so-novel EID-to-RLOC Database) [RFC6837], and LISP Alternative
Logical Topology (LISP+ALT) (LISP-ALT) [RFC6836].
The LISP Mapping Service defines two new types of LISP-speaking
devices: the Map Resolver, Map-Resolver, which accepts Map-Requests from an Ingress
Tunnel Router (ITR) and "resolves" the EID-to-RLOC mapping using a
mapping database; and the Map Server, Map-Server, which learns authoritative EID-
to-RLOC mappings from an Egress Tunnel Router (ETR) and publishes
them in a database.
Conceptually, LISP Map Servers Map-Servers share some of the same basic
configuration and maintenance properties as Domain Name System (DNS)
[RFC1035] servers; likewise, Map Resolvers Map-Resolvers are conceptually similar
to DNS caching resolvers. With this in mind, this specification
borrows familiar terminology (resolver and server) from the DNS
specifications.
Note that while this document assumes a LISP+ALT database mapping
infrastructure to illustrate certain aspects of Map Server Map-Server and Map Map-
Resolver operation, the Mapping Service interface can (and likely
will) be used by ITRs and ETRs to access other mapping database
systems as the LISP infrastructure evolves.
Section 5 of this document notes a number of issues with the Map Map-
Server and Map Resolver Map-Resolver design that are not yet completely understood
and are subjects of further experimentation.
The LISP Mapping Service is an important component of the LISP
toolset. Issues and concerns about the deployment of LISP for
Internet traffic are discussed in [RFC6830].
2. Definition of Terms
Map Server:
Map-Server: A network infrastructure component that learns of EID-
prefix
Prefix mapping entries from an ETR, via the registration mechanism
described below, or some other authoritative source if one exists.
A Map Server Map-Server publishes these EID-prefixes EID-Prefixes in a mapping database.
Map Resolver:
Map-Resolver: A network infrastructure component that accepts LISP
Encapsulated Map-Requests, typically from an ITR, and determines
whether or not the destination IP address is part of the EID
namespace; if it is not, a Negative Map-Reply is returned.
Otherwise, the Map Resolver Map-Resolver finds the appropriate EID-to-RLOC
mapping by consulting a mapping database system.
Encapsulated Map-Request: A LISP Map-Request carried within an
Encapsulated Control Message, which has an additional LISP header
prepended. Sent to UDP destination port 4342. The "outer"
addresses are globally routable IP addresses, also known as RLOCs.
Used by an ITR when sending to a Map Resolver Map-Resolver and by a Map Server Map-Server
when forwarding a Map-Request to an ETR.
Negative Map-Reply: A LISP Map-Reply that contains an empty
locator-set.
Locator-Set. Returned in response to a Map-Request if the
destination EID does not exist in the mapping database.
Typically, this means that the "EID" being requested is an IP
address connected to a non-LISP site.
Map-Register message: A LISP message sent by an ETR to a Map Server Map-Server
to register its associated EID-prefixes. EID-Prefixes. In addition to the set
of EID-prefixes EID-Prefixes to register, the message includes one or more
RLOCs to be used by the Map Server Map-Server when forwarding Map-Requests
(re-formatted as Encapsulated Map-Requests) received through the
database mapping system. An ETR may request that the Map Server Map-Server
answer Map-Requests on its behalf by setting the "proxy-map-reply" "proxy Map-Reply"
flag (P-bit) in the message.
Map-Notify message: A LISP message sent by a Map Server Map-Server to an ETR
to confirm that a Map-Register has been received and processed.
An ETR requests that a Map-Notify be returned by setting the
"want-map-notify" flag (M-bit) in the Map-Register message.
Unlike a Map-Reply, a Map-Notify uses UDP port 4342 for both
source and destination.
For definitions of other terms -- notably Map-Request, Map-Reply,
Ingress Tunnel Router (ITR), and Egress Tunnel Router (ETR) -- please
consult the LISP specification [RFC6830].
3. Basic Overview
A Map Server Map-Server is a device that publishes EID-prefixes EID-Prefixes in a LISP
mapping database on behalf of a set of ETRs. When it receives a Map
Request (typically from an ITR), it consults the mapping database to
find an ETR that can answer with the set of RLOCs for an EID-prefix. EID-Prefix.
To publish its EID-prefixes, EID-Prefixes, an ETR periodically sends Map-Register
messages to the Map Server. Map-Server. A Map-Register message contains a list
of EID-prefixes EID-Prefixes plus a set of RLOCs that can be used to reach the ETR
when a Map Server Map-Server needs to forward a Map-Request to it.
When LISP+ALT is used as the mapping database, a Map Server Map-Server connects
to the ALT network and acts as a "last-hop" ALT router. ALT-Router. Intermediate
ALT routers
ALT-Routers forward Map-Requests to the Map Server Map-Server that advertises a
particular EID-prefix, EID-Prefix, and the Map Server Map-Server forwards them to the owning
ETR, which responds with Map-Reply messages.
A Map Resolver Map-Resolver receives Encapsulated Map-Requests from its client
ITRs and uses a mapping database system to find the appropriate ETR
to answer those requests. On a LISP+ALT network, a Map Resolver Map-Resolver acts
as a "first-hop" ALT router. ALT-Router. It has Generic Routing Encapsulation
(GRE) tunnels configured to other ALT routers ALT-Routers and uses BGP to learn
paths to ETRs for different prefixes in the LISP+ALT database. The
Map Resolver
Map-Resolver uses this path information to forward Map-Requests over
the ALT to the correct ETRs.
Note that while it is conceivable that a Map Resolver Map-Resolver could cache
responses to improve performance, issues surrounding cache management
will need to be resolved so that doing so will be reliable and
practical. As initially deployed, Map Resolvers Map-Resolvers will operate only in
a non-caching mode, decapsulating and forwarding Encapsulated Map
Requests received from ITRs. Any specification of caching
functionality is left for future work.
Note that a single device can implement the functions of both a Map Map-
Server and a Map Resolver, Map-Resolver, and in many cases the functions will be
co-located in that way.
Detailed descriptions of the LISP packet types referenced by this
document may be found in [RFC6830].
4. Interactions with Other LISP Components
4.1. ITR EID-to-RLOC Mapping Resolution
An ITR is configured with one or more Map Resolver Map-Resolver addresses. These
addresses are "locators" "Locators" (or RLOCs) and must be routable on the
underlying core network; they must not need to be resolved through
LISP EID-to-RLOC mapping, as that would introduce a circular
dependency. When using a Map Resolver, Map-Resolver, an ITR does not need to
connect to any other database mapping system. In particular, the ITR
need not connect to the LISP+ALT infrastructure or implement the BGP
and GRE protocols that it uses.
An ITR sends an Encapsulated Map-Request to a configured Map Resolver Map-Resolver
when it needs an EID-to-RLOC mapping that is not found in its local
map-cache. Using the Map Resolver Map-Resolver greatly reduces both the
complexity of the ITR implementation and the costs associated with
its operation.
In response to an Encapsulated Map-Request, the ITR can expect one of
the following:
o An immediate Negative Map-Reply (with action code of "Natively-
Forward", 15-minute Time to Live (TTL)) from the Map Resolver Map-Resolver if
the Map Resolver Map-Resolver can determine that the requested EID does not
exist. The ITR saves the EID-prefix EID-Prefix returned in the Map-Reply in
its cache, marks it as non-LISP-capable, and knows not to attempt
LISP encapsulation for destinations matching it.
o A Negative Map-Reply (with Map-Reply, with action code of "Natively-Forward") "Natively-Forward", from
the Map Server
a Map-Server that has is authoritative for an aggregate EID-covering EID-Prefix that matches
the requested EID in the
Map-Request but where that does not have an actively registered,
more-specific ID-prefix. In this case, the requested EID matches is said
to match a "hole" in the aggregate. authoritative EID-Prefix. If the "hole" is for
requested EID matches a LISP EID-prefix more-specific EID-Prefix that is defined in has been
delegated by the Map
Server configuration Map-Server but for which no ETRs are currently
registered, a 1-minute TTL is returned. If the "hole" is for an
unassigned requested EID
matches a non-delegated part of the aggregate, authoritative EID-Prefix, then
it is not a LISP EID and a 15-minute TTL is returned. See
Section 4.2 for discussion of aggregate EID-prefixes EID-Prefixes and details
of Map Server EID-prefix Map-Server EID-Prefix matching.
o A LISP Map-Reply from the ETR that owns the EID-to-RLOC mapping or
possibly from a Map Server Map-Server answering on behalf of the ETR. See
Section 4.4 for more details on Map Resolver Map-Resolver message processing.
Note that an ITR may be configured to both use a Map Resolver Map-Resolver and to
participate in a LISP+ALT logical network. In such a situation, the
ITR should send Map-Requests through the ALT network for any EID-
prefix
Prefix learned via ALT BGP. Such a configuration is expected to be
very rare, since there is little benefit to using a Map Resolver Map-Resolver if
an ITR is already using LISP+ALT. There would be, for example, no
need for such an ITR to send a Map-Request to a possibly non-existent
EID (and rely on Negative Map-Replies) if it can consult the ALT
database to verify that an EID-prefix EID-Prefix is present before sending that
Map-Request.
4.2. EID Prefix EID-Prefix Configuration and ETR Registration
An ETR publishes its EID-prefixes EID-Prefixes on a Map Server Map-Server by sending LISP
Map-Register messages. A Map-Register message includes
authentication data, so prior to sending a Map-Register message, the
ETR and Map Server Map-Server must be configured with a shared secret or other
relevant authentication information. A Map Server's Map-Server's configuration
must also include a list of the EID-prefixes EID-Prefixes for which each ETR is
authoritative. Upon receipt of a Map-Register from an ETR, a Map Map-
Server accepts only EID-prefixes EID-Prefixes that are configured for that ETR.
Failure to implement such a check would leave the mapping system
vulnerable to trivial EID-prefix EID-Prefix hijacking attacks. As developers
and operators gain experience with the mapping system, additional,
stronger security measures may be added to the registration process.
In addition to the set of EID-prefixes EID-Prefixes defined for each ETR that may
register, a Map Server Map-Server is typically also configured with one or more
aggregate prefixes that define the part of the EID numbering space
assigned to it. When LISP+ALT is the database in use, aggregate EID-
prefixes
Prefixes are implemented as discard routes and advertised into ALT
BGP. The existence of aggregate EID-prefixes EID-Prefixes in a Map Server's Map-Server's
database means that it may receive Map Requests for EID-prefixes EID-Prefixes that
match an aggregate but do not match a registered prefix; Section 4.3
describes how this is handled.
Map-Register messages are sent periodically from an ETR to a Map Map-
Server with a suggested interval between messages of one minute. A
Map Server
Map-Server should time out and remove an ETR's registration if it has
not received a valid Map-Register message within the past
three minutes. When first contacting a Map Server Map-Server after restart or
changes to its EID-to-RLOC database mappings, an ETR may initially
send Map-Register messages at an increased frequency, up to one every
20 seconds. This "quick registration" period is limited to
five minutes in duration.
An ETR may request that a Map Server Map-Server explicitly acknowledge receipt
and processing of a Map-Register message by setting the "want-map-
notify" (M-bit) flag. A Map Server Map-Server that receives a Map-Register with
this flag set will respond with a Map-Notify message. Typical use of
this flag by an ETR would be to set it for Map-Register messages sent
during the initial "quick registration" with a Map Server Map-Server but then
set it only occasionally during steady-state maintenance of its
association with that Map Server. Map-Server. Note that the Map-Notify message
is sent to UDP destination port 4342, not to the source port
specified in the original Map-Register message.
Note that a one-minute minimum registration interval during
maintenance of an ETR-Map Server ETR-Map-Server association places a lower bound on
how quickly and how frequently a mapping database entry can be
updated. This may have implications for what sorts of mobility can
be supported directly by the mapping system; shorter registration
intervals or other mechanisms might be needed to support faster
mobility in some cases. For a discussion on one way that faster
mobility may be implemented for individual devices, please see
[LISP-MN].
An ETR may also request, by setting the "proxy-map-reply" "proxy Map-Reply" flag
(P-bit) in the Map-Register message, that a Map Server Map-Server answer Map-
Requests instead of forwarding them to the ETR. See [RFC6830] for
details on how the Map Server Map-Server sets certain flags (such as those
indicating whether the message is authoritative and how returned
locators
Locators should be treated) when sending a Map-Reply on behalf of an
ETR. When an ETR requests proxy reply service, it should include all
RLOCs for all ETRs for the EID-prefix EID-Prefix being registered, along with
the routable flag ("R-bit") setting for each RLOC. The Map Server Map-Server
includes all of this information in Map Reply Map-Reply messages that it sends
on behalf of the ETR. This differs from a non-proxy registration,
since the latter need only provide one or more RLOCs for a Map Server Map-Server
to use for forwarding Map-Requests; the registration information is
not used in Map-Replies, so it being incomplete is not incorrect.
An ETR that uses a Map Server Map-Server to publish its EID-to-RLOC mappings
does not need to participate further in the mapping database
protocol(s). When using a LISP+ALT mapping database, for example,
this means that the ETR does not need to implement GRE or BGP, which
greatly simplifies its configuration and reduces its cost of
operation.
Note that use of a Map Server Map-Server does not preclude an ETR from also
connecting to the mapping database (i.e., it could also connect to
the LISP+ALT network), but doing so doesn't seem particularly useful,
as the whole purpose of using a Map Server Map-Server is to avoid the complexity
of the mapping database protocols.
4.3. Map Server Map-Server Processing
Once a Map Server Map-Server has EID-prefixes EID-Prefixes registered by its client ETRs, it
can accept and process Map-Requests for them.
In response to a Map-Request (received over the ALT if LISP+ALT is in
use), the Map Server Map-Server first checks to see if the destination EID
matches a configured EID-prefix. EID-Prefix. If there is no match, the Map Map-
Server returns a negative Negative Map-Reply with action code "Natively-
Forward" and a 15-minute TTL. This may occur if a Map Request is
received for a configured aggregate EID-prefix EID-Prefix for which no more-
specific EID-prefix EID-Prefix exists; it indicates the presence of a non-LISP
"hole" in the aggregate EID-prefix. EID-Prefix.
Next, the Map Server Map-Server checks to see if any ETRs have registered the
matching EID-prefix. EID-Prefix. If none are found, then the Map Server Map-Server returns
a negative Negative Map-Reply with action code "Natively-Forward" and a
1-minute TTL.
If any of the registered ETRs for the EID-prefix EID-Prefix have requested proxy
reply service, then the Map Server Map-Server answers the request instead of
forwarding it. It returns a Map-Reply with the EID-prefix, EID-Prefix, RLOCs,
and other information learned through the registration process.
If none of the ETRs have requested proxy reply service, then the Map Map-
Server re-encapsulates and forwards the resulting Encapsulated Map-
Request to one of the registered ETRs. It does not otherwise alter
the Map-Request, so any Map-Reply sent by the ETR is returned to the
RLOC in the Map-Request, not to the Map Server. Map-Server. Unless also acting
as a Map Resolver, Map-Resolver, a Map Server Map-Server should never receive Map-Replies; any
such messages should be discarded without response, perhaps
accompanied by the logging of a diagnostic message if the rate of
Map-Replies is suggestive of malicious traffic.
4.4. Map Resolver Map-Resolver Processing
Upon receipt of an Encapsulated Map-Request, a Map Resolver Map-Resolver
decapsulates the enclosed message and then searches for the requested
EID in its local database of mapping entries (statically configured
or learned from associated ETRs if the Map Resolver Map-Resolver is also a Map Map-
Server offering proxy reply service). If it finds a matching entry,
it returns a LISP Map-Reply with the known mapping.
If the Map Resolver Map-Resolver does not have the mapping entry and if it can
determine that the EID is not in the mapping database (for example,
if LISP+ALT is used, the Map Resolver Map-Resolver will have an ALT forwarding
table that covers the full EID space), it immediately returns a
negative LISP Map-Reply, with action code "Natively-Forward" and a
15-minute TTL. To minimize the number of negative cache entries
needed by an ITR, the Map Resolver Map-Resolver should return the least-specific
prefix that both matches the original query and does not match any
EID-prefix
EID-Prefix known to exist in the LISP-capable infrastructure.
If the Map Resolver Map-Resolver does not have sufficient information to know
whether the EID exists, it needs to forward the Map-Request to
another device that has more information about the EID being
requested. To do this, it forwards the unencapsulated Map-Request,
with the original ITR RLOC as the source, to the mapping database
system. Using LISP+ALT, the Map Resolver Map-Resolver is connected to the ALT
network and sends the Map-Request to the next ALT hop learned from
its ALT BGP neighbors. The Map Resolver Map-Resolver does not send any response
to the ITR; since the source RLOC is that of the ITR, the ETR or Map Map-
Server that receives the Map-Request over the ALT and responds will
do so directly to the ITR.
4.4.1. Anycast Map Resolver Map-Resolver Operation
A Map Resolver Map-Resolver can be set up to use "anycast", where the same address
is assigned to multiple Map Resolvers Map-Resolvers and is propagated through IGP
routing, to facilitate the use of a topologically close Map Resolver Map-Resolver
by each ITR.
Note that Map Server Map-Server associations with ETRs should not use anycast
addresses, as registrations need to be established between an ETR and
a specific set of Map Servers, Map-Servers, each identified by a specific
registration association.
5. Open Issues and Considerations
There are a number of issues with the Map Server Map-Server and Map Resolver Map-Resolver
design that are not yet completely understood. Among these are:
o Constants, such as those used for Map-Register frequency,
retransmission timeouts, retransmission limits, negative Negative Map-Reply
TTLs, et al. are subject to further refinement as more experience
with prototype deployment is gained.
o Convergence time when an EID-to-RLOC mapping changes, and
mechanisms for detecting and refreshing or removing stale, cached
information.
o Deployability and complexity tradeoffs of implementing stronger
security measures in both EID-prefix EID-Prefix registration and Map-Request/
Map-Reply processing.
o Requirements for additional state in the registration process
between Map Servers Map-Servers and ETRs.
A discussion of other issues surrounding LISP deployment may also be
found in Section 15 of [RFC6830].
The authors expect that experimentation on the LISP pilot network
will help answer open questions surrounding these and other issues.
6. Security Considerations
The 2-way LISP header nonce exchange documented in [RFC6830] can be
used to avoid ITR spoofing attacks.
To publish an authoritative EID-to-RLOC mapping with a Map Server, Map-Server, an
ETR includes authentication data that is a hash of the message using
a pair-wise shared key. An implementation must support use of HMAC-
SHA-1-96 [RFC2104] and should support use of HMAC-SHA-256-128
[RFC6234] (SHA-256 truncated to 128 bits).
During experimental and prototype deployment, all authentication key
configuration will be manual. Should LISP and its components be
considered for IETF standardization, further work will be required to
follow the BCP 107 [RFC4107] recommendations on automated key
management.
As noted in Section 4.2, a Map Server Map-Server should verify that all EID-
prefixes
Prefixes registered by an ETR match the configuration stored on the
Map Server.
Map-Server.
The currently defined authentication mechanism for Map-Register
messages does not provide protection against "replay" attacks by a
"man-in-the-middle". Additional work is needed in this area.
[LISP-SEC] defines a proposed mechanism for providing origin
authentication, integrity, anti-replay protection, and prevention of
man-in-the-middle and "overclaiming" attacks on the Map-Request/
Map-Reply exchange. Work is ongoing on this and other proposals for
resolving these open security issues.
While beyond the scope of securing an individual Map Server Map-Server or Map Map-
Resolver, it should be noted that a BGP-based LISP+ALT network (if
ALT is used as the mapping database infrastructure) can take
advantage of standards work on adding security to BGP.
