1. Introduction

This document directs the IANA to allocate a /32 IPv6 prefix for use
with the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP - [RFC6830]), LISP Map Map-
Server ([RFC6833]), LISP Alternative Topology (LISP+ALT - [RFC6836])
(or other) mapping systems, and LISP Interworking ([RFC6832]).

This block will be used as global Endpoint IDentifier Identifier (EID) space.

2. Definition of Terms

The present document does not introduce any new term terms with respect to
the set of LISP Specifications ( [RFC6830], ([RFC6830], [RFC6831], [RFC6832],
[RFC6833], [RFC6834], [RFC6835], [RFC6836], [RFC6837]), but it
assumes that the reader is familiar with the LISP terminology.
[I-D.ietf-lisp-introduction]
[LISP-INTRO] provides an introduction to the LISP technology,
including its terminology.

3. Rationale and Intent

Discussion within the LISP Working Group working group led to identify the identification of
several scenarios in which the existence of a LISP specific LISP-specific address
block brings technical benefits. Hereafter the The most relevant scenarios are
described:
described below:

Early LISP destination detection: With the current specifications,
there is no direct way to detect whether or not a certain
destination is in a LISP domain or not without performing a LISP
mapping lookup. For instance, if an ITR Ingress Tunnel Router
(ITR) is sending packets to all types of destinations (i.e.,
non-LISP destinations, LISP destinations not in the IPv6 EID
block, and LISP destinations in the IPv6 EID block) block), the only
way to understand whether or not to encapsulate the traffic is
to perform a cache lookup and, in case of a LISP Cache cache miss,
send a Map-Request to the mapping system. In the meanwhile (waiting
(while waiting for the Map-Reply), packets may be dropped in order to
avoid excessive buffering.

Avoid penalizing non-LISP traffic: In certain circumstances circumstances, it
might be desirable to configure a router using LISP features to
natively forward all packets that have do not have a destination
address in the block, block and, hence, no lookup whatsoever is
performed and packets destined to non-LISP sites are not
penalized in any manner.

Traffic Engineering: In some deployment scenarios scenarios, it might be
desirable to apply different traffic engineering traffic-engineering policies for
LISP and non-LISP traffic. A LISP specific LISP-specific EID block would
allow improved traffic engineering traffic-engineering capabilities with respect to
LISP vs. non-LISP traffic. In particular, LISP traffic might
be identified without having to use DPI Deep Packet Inspection
(DPI) techniques in order to parse the encapsulated packet, packet.
Instead, performing instead a simple inspection of the outer header is
sufficient.

Transition Mechanism: The existence of a LISP specific LISP-specific EID block may
prove useful in transition scenarios. A non-LISP domain would
ask for an allocation in the LISP EID block and use it to
deploy LISP in its network. Such allocation will would not be
announced in the BGP routing infrastructure (cf., (cf. Section 4).
This approach will allow non-LISP domains to avoid fragmenting
their already allocated non-LISP addressing space, which may
lead to BGP routing table inflation since it may (rightfully)
be announced in the BGP routing infrastructure.

Limit the impact on the BGP routing infrastructure: As described in
the previous scenario, LISP adopters will avoid fragmenting
their addressing space, since fragmentation would negatively
impact the BGP routing infrastructure. Adopters will use
addressing space from the EID block, which might be announced
in large aggregates and in a tightly controlled manner only by proxy
xTRs.

Is
Proxy Tunnel Routers (PxTRs).

It is worth mentioning that new use cases can may arise in the future,
due to new and unforeseen scenarios.

Furthermore, the use of a dedicated address block will give a allows for tighter
control, especially filtering,
control over the traffic in the initial experimental phase, phase
(especially filtering), while facilitating its large-scale
deployment.

[RFC3692] considers assigning experimental and testing numbers
useful, and the request of
useful; having a reserved IPv6 prefix is a perfect match
of such enables this practice. The
present document follows the guidelines provided in [RFC3692], with
one exception. [RFC3692] suggests the use of values similar to those
called "Private Use" in [RFC5226], which by definition are not
unique. One of the purposes purpose of the present request to IANA is to guarantee
uniqueness to the EID block. The lack thereof would result in a lack
of real utility of a reserved IPv6 prefix.

4. Expected use Use

Sites planning to deploy LISP may request a prefix in the IPv6 EID
block. Such prefixes will be used for routing and endpoint
identification inside the site requesting it. Mappings related to
such a prefix, or part of it, will be made available through the
mapping system in use and registered to one or more Map Server(s). Map-Server(s).

The EID block must be used for LISP experimentation and must not be
advertised in the form of more specific route advertisements in the
non-LISP inter-domain routing environment. Interworking between the
EID block sub-prefixes and the non-LISP Internet is done according to
the techniques described in [RFC6832] and [RFC7215].

As the LISP adoption progresses, the EID block may potentially have a
reduced impact on the BGP routing infrastructure, compared to the
case of having the same number of adopters using global unicast space
allocated by RIRs Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) ([MobiArch2007]).
From a short-term perspective, the EID block offers potentially large
aggregation capabilities since it is announced by PxTRs Proxy Tunnel
Routers (PxTRs), possibly concentrating several contiguous prefixes.
This trend should continue with even lower impact from a long-term
perspective, since because more aggressive aggregation can be used,
potentially leading at to using few fewer PxTRs announcing the whole EID
block ([FIABook2010]).

The EID block will be used only at the configuration level, so it is
recommended not to hard-code in any way the IPv6 EID block in the router hardware. This allows avoiding locking
hardware in any way. This prevents locking out sites that may want
to switch to LISP while keeping their own IPv6 prefix, which is not
in the IPv6 EID block. Furthermore, in the case of a future
permanent allocation, the allocated prefix may differ from the
experimental temporary prefix allocated during the experimentation
phase.

With the exception of PITR the Proxy Ingress Tunnel Router (PITR) case
(described in Section 8) 8), prefixes out of the EID block must not be
announced in the BGP routing infrastructure.

5. Block Dimension

The working group reached consensus on an initial allocation of a /32
prefix. The reason of such consensus is manifold:

o The working group agreed that the /32 prefix is sufficiently large
to cover initial allocation and requests for prefixes in the EID
space in the next few years for very large-scale experimentation
and deployment.

o As a comparison, it is worth mentioning that the current LISP Beta
Network ([BETA]) is using a /32 prefix, with more than 250 sites
using a /48 sub prefix. sub-prefix. Hence, a /32 prefix appears sufficiently
large to allow the current deployment to scale up and be open for
interoperation with independent deployments using the EIDs in the
new /32 prefix.

o A /32 prefix is sufficiently large to allow deployment of
independent (commercial) LISP enabled LISP-enabled networks by third parties,
but may as well boost LISP experimentation and deployment.

o The use of a /32 prefix is in line with previous similar prefix
allocation for tunneling protocols ([RFC3056]).

6. 3+3 Allocation Plan

This document requests

Per this document, IANA to has initially assign assigned a /32 prefix out of
the IPv6 addressing space for use as EID in LISP (Locator/ID
Separation Protocol). LISP.

IANA allocates allocated the requested address space by MMMM/YYYY0 in September 2016 for a
duration of 3 (three) initial years (through MMMM/YYYY3), September 2019), with an option
to extend this period by 3 (three) more years (until MMMM/
YYYY6). September 2022).
By the end of the first period, the IETF will provide a decision on
whether to transform the prefix in into a permanent assignment or to put
it back in the free pool (see Section 7 for more information).

[RFC Editor: please replace MMMM and all its occurrences in the
document with the month of publication as RFC.]

[RFC Editor: please replace YYYY0 and all its occurrences in the
document with the year of publication as RFC.]

[RFC Editor: please replace YYYY3 and all its occurrences in the
document with the year of publication as RFC plus 3 years, e.g., if
published in 2016 then put 2019.]

[RFC Editor: please replace YYYY6 and all its occurrences in the
document with the year of publication as RFC plus 6 years, e.g., if
published in 2016 then put 2022.]

In the first case, i.e., if the IETF decides to transform the block
in
into a permanent allocation, the EID block allocation period will be
extended for three years (until MMMM/YYYY6) so September 2022) to give time to the IETF time
to define the final size of the EID block and create a transition
plan. The transition of the EID block into a permanent allocation has the potential to
might pose policy issues (as recognized in [RFC2860], section 4.3) and hence Section 4.3);
therefore, discussion with the IANA, the RIR communities, and the
IETF community will be necessary to determine the appropriate policy
for permanent EID block EID-block allocation and management. Note as well that
the final permanent allocation may differ from the initial
experimental assignment, assignment; hence, it is recommended not to hard-code in any way
the experimental EID block on LISP-capable
devices. devices in any way.

In the latter case, i.e., if the IETF decides to stop terminate the
experimental-use EID block
experimental use, by MMMM/YYYY3 block, all temporary prefix allocations in
such this
address range must expire and be released, released by September 2019, so that
the entire /32 is returned to the free pool.

The allocation and management of the EID block for the initial 3
years 3-year
period (and the optional 3 more years) is detailed in
[I-D.ietf-lisp-eid-block-mgmnt]. [RFC7955].

7. Allocation Lifetime

If no explicit action is carried out by the end of the experiment (by
MMMM/YYYY3)
September 2019), it is automatically considered that there was no not
sufficient interest in having a permanent allocation and allocation; therefore, the
address block will be returned to the free pool.

Otherwise, if the LISP Working Group working group recognizes that there is value
in having a permanent allocation allocation, then explicit action is needed.

In order to trigger the process for a permanent allocation allocation, a
document is required. Such a document has to articulate the
rationale for why a permanent allocation would be beneficial. More
specifically, the document has to detail the experience gained during
experimentation and all of the technical benefits provided by the use
of a LISP
specific LISP-specific prefix. Such technical benefits are expected to
lay in the scenarios described in Section 3, however, 3. However, new and
unforeseen benefits may appear during experimentation. The
description should be sufficiently articulate so to allow to provide an estimation of what
should be that the needed size of
the permanent allocation. Note however allocation can be estimated. However, note that, as
explained in Section 6, it is up to IANA to decide which address
block will be used as a permanent allocation and that such a block
may be different from the temporary experimental allocation.

8. Routing Considerations

In order to provide connectivity between the Legacy Internet and LISP
sites, PITRs announcing large aggregates (ideally one single single, large
aggregate) of the IPv6 EID block could be deployed. By doing so,
PITRs will attract traffic destined to for LISP sites in order to
encapsulate and forward it toward the specific destination LISP site.
Routers in the Legacy Internet must treat announcements of prefixes
from the IPv6 EID block as normal announcements, applying best
current practice practices for traffic engineering and security.

Even in a LISP site, not all routers need to run LISP elements. In
particular, routers that are not at the border of the local domain,
used only for intra-domain routing, do not need to provide any
specific LISP functionality but must be able to route traffic using
addresses in the IPv6 EID block.

For the above-mentioned reasons, routers that do not run any LISP
element,
element must not include any special handling code or hardware for
addresses in the IPv6 EID block. In particular, it is recommended
that the default router configuration does not handle such addresses in
any special way. Doing differently could prevent communication
between the Legacy Internet and LISP sites or even break local intra-
domain connectivity.

9. Security Considerations

This document does not introduce new security threats in the LISP
architecture nor in the legacy Internet architecture.

10. IANA Considerations

This document instructs the

IANA to assign has assigned a /32 IPv6 prefix for use as the global LISP EID space
for LISP using a hierarchical allocation as outlined in [RFC5226] and
summarized in Table 1.

This document does not specify any specific value for the requested
address The assigned block but suggests that should come is from the 2000::/3 Global
Unicast Space. 2001:5 global
unicast space.

IANA is not requested to issue an AS0 ROA (Route Route Origin Attestation (ROA
[RFC6491]), since because the Global global EID Space will space is be used for routing
purposes.

[1] According to the 3+3 Plan outlined in this document document, the
termination date can be postponed to MMMM/YYYY6. September 2022.
[2] Can be used as a multicast source as well.
[3] To be used as EID space by LISP [RFC6830] routers enabled
routers. by LISP [RFC6830].

Table 1: Global EID Space

[IANA: Please update the Termination Date and footnote [1] in the
Special-Purpose Address Registry when the I-D is published as RFC.]

The reserved address space is requested for a period of time of three an initial years 3-year period
starting in MMMM/YYYY0 September 2016 (until MMMM/YYYY3), September 2019), with an option to
extend it by three years (until MMMM/YYYY6) up on September 2022) upon the decision of
the IETF (see Section Sections 6 and Section 7). Following the policies outlined in
[RFC5226], upon IETF Review, by MMMM/YYYY3 the decision should be made on whether
to have a permanent EID block assignment. assignment by September 2019. If no
explicit action is taken or or, if the IETF review Review outcome will be is that it is
not worth to have having a reserved prefix as a global EID space, the whole
/32 will be taken out from the "IANA IPv6 Special Purpose Special-Purpose Address
Registry
Registry" and put back in the free pool managed by IANA.

Allocation and management of the Global global EID Space space is detailed in a
different document.
[RFC7955]. Nevertheless, all prefix allocations out of this space
must be temporary and no allocation must go beyond MMMM/YYYY3 September 2019
unless the IETF Review decides for a permanent Global global EID Space space
assignment.
