Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) Control-Plane
draft-ietf-lisp-rfc6833bis-30 Control Plane
Abstract
This document describes the Control-Plane control plane and Mapping Service for the
Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP), implemented by two types of
LISP-speaking devices -- the LISP Map-Resolver and LISP Map-Server --
that provides provide a simplified "front end" for one or more Endpoint ID IDs
(EIDs) to Routing Locator mapping databases.
By using this Control-Plane control plane service interface and communicating with
Map-Resolvers and Map-Servers, LISP Ingress Tunnel Routers (ITRs) and
Egress Tunnel Routers (ETRs) are not dependent on the details of
mapping database systems, which systems; this behavior facilitates modularity with
different database designs. Since these devices implement the "edge"
of the LISP Control-Plane control plane infrastructure, connecting EID addressable
nodes of a LISP site, it the implementation and operational complexity
of the overall cost and effort of deploying LISP. LISP is reduced.
This document obsoletes RFC RFCs 6830 and RFC 6833.

1. Introduction
The Locator/ID Separation Protocol [I-D.ietf-lisp-rfc6830bis] [RFC9300] (see also [I-D.ietf-lisp-introduction]) [RFC9299])
specifies an architecture and mechanism for dynamic tunneling by
logically separating the addresses currently used by IP in two
separate name spaces: namespaces: 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 across mapping system Mapping System nodes. Several such
databases have been proposed; among them are the Content distribution
Overlay Network Service for LISP-NERD (a Not-so-
novel Not-so-novel EID-to-RLOC
Database) [RFC6837], LISP Alternative Logical Topology (LISP-ALT)
[RFC6836], and LISP Delegated Database Tree (LISP-DDT) [RFC8111].
The LISP Mapping Service defines two types of LISP-speaking devices:
the 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, which learns authoritative EID-to-RLOC
mappings from an Egress Tunnel Router (ETR) and publishes them in a
database.
This LISP Control-Plane control plane and Mapping Service can be used by many
different encapsulation-based or translation-based Data-Planes which include data planes,
including but are not limited to the ones those defined in LISP RFC 6830bis
[I-D.ietf-lisp-rfc6830bis], LISP-GPE [I-D.ietf-lisp-gpe], VXLAN [RFC9300], the
LISP Generic Protocol Extension (LISP-GPE) [RFC9305], Virtual
eXtensible Local Area Networks (VXLANs) [RFC7348], VXLAN-GPE [I-D.ietf-nvo3-vxlan-gpe],
[NVO3-VXLAN-GPE], GRE [RFC2890], GTP the GPRS Tunneling Protocol (GTP)
[GTP-3GPP], ILA [I-D.herbert-intarea-ila], Identifier-Locator Addressing (ILA) [INTAREA-ILA], and
Segment Routing (SRv6) [RFC8402].
Conceptually, LISP Map-Servers share some of the same basic
configuration and maintenance properties as Domain Name System (DNS)
[RFC1035] servers;
servers [RFC1035]; likewise, 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 this document doesn't assume any particular database
mapping infrastructure to illustrate certain aspects of Map-Server
and Map-
Resolver operation. Map-Resolver operations. 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.
LISP is not intended to address problems of connectivity and scaling
on behalf of arbitrary communicating parties. Relevant situations
are described in the scoping section Section 1.1 of the introduction to
[I-D.ietf-lisp-rfc6830bis]. [RFC9300].
This document obsoletes RFC 6830 [RFC6830] and 6833. [RFC6833].
1.1. Scope of Applicability
LISP was originally developed to address the Internet-wide route
scaling problem [RFC4984]. While there are a number of approaches of
interest for that problem, as LISP as has been developed and refined, a
large number of other LISP uses for LISP have been found and are being used.
implemented. As such, the design and development of LISP has have
changed so as to focus on these use cases. The common property of
these uses is a large set of cooperating entities seeking to
communicate over the public Internet or other large underlay IP infrastructures,
infrastructures while keeping the addressing and topology of the
cooperating entities separate from the underlay and Internet
topology, routing, and addressing.
When communicating over the public Internet, deployers MUST consider
the following guidelines:
1. LISP-SEC LISP Security (LISP-SEC) MUST be implemented [I-D.ietf-lisp-sec]. [RFC9303]. This
means that the S-bit MUST be set in the Map-Reply (Section 5.4), Map-
Register
Map-Register (Section 5.6) 5.6), and Encapsulated Control messages Messages
(ECMs) (Section 5.8).
2. Implementations SHOULD use the 'HMAC-SHA256-128+HKDF-SHA256' as the
Algorithm ID (Section 12.5) in the Map-Register message
(Section 5.6), 5.6) and MUST NOT use 'None' or 'HMAC-SHA-1-96-None' as
the Algorithm ID (Section 12.5) in the Map-Register message
(Section 5.6) 5.6).
2. Requirements Notation
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
3. Definition Definitions of Terms
Map-Server: A network infrastructure component that learns of EID-
Prefix mapping entries from an ETR, via the registration mechanism
described below, or some other authoritative source if one exists.
A Map-Server publishes these EID-Prefixes in a mapping database.
Map-Request: A LISP Map-Request is a Control-Plane control plane message to query that queries the mapping system Mapping System
to resolve an EID. A LISP Map-Request can also be sent to an RLOC
to test for reachability and to exchange security keys between an
encapsulator and a decapsulator. This type of Map-Request is also
known as an RLOC-Probe Request.
Map-Reply: A LISP Map-Reply is a Control-Plane control plane message returned in response to a Map-Request Map-
Request sent to the mapping system Mapping System when resolving an EID. A LISP
Map-Reply can also be returned by a decapsulator in response to a
Map-Request sent by an encapsulator to test for reachability.
This type of Map-Reply is known as a an RLOC-Probe Reply.
Encapsulated Map-Request: A LISP Map-Request carried within an
Encapsulated Control Message (ECM), which ECM.
This Map-Request has an additional LISP header prepended. Sent to
UDP destination port 4342. The "outer" addresses are routable IP
addresses, also known as RLOCs. Used by an ITR when sending to a
Map-Resolver and by a Map-Server when forwarding a Map-Request to
an ETR.
Map-Resolver: A network infrastructure component that accepts LISP
Encapsulated (ECM) 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 finds the appropriate EID-to-RLOC
mapping by consulting a mapping database system.
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
is not registered in the mapping system, Mapping System, is policy
denied policy-denied, or
fails authentication.
Map-Register message: A LISP message sent by an ETR to a Map-Server
to register its associated EID-Prefixes. In addition to the set
of EID-Prefixes to register, the message includes one or more
RLOCs to reach ETR(s). The Map-Server uses these RLOCs when
forwarding Map-Requests (re-formatted (reformatted as Encapsulated Map-
Requests). An ETR MAY request that the Map-Server answer Map-
Requests on its behalf by setting the "proxy Map-Reply" flag
(P-bit) in the message.
Map-Notify message: A LISP message sent by a 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" "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. Map-Notify messages are also sent to ITRs by Map-Servers Map-
Servers when there are RLOC-set RLOC-Set changes.
For definitions of other terms, notably Ingress Tunnel Router (ITR),
Egress Tunnel Router (ETR), and Re-encapsulating Tunnel Router (RTR),
refer to the LISP Data-Plane data plane specification
[I-D.ietf-lisp-rfc6830bis]. [RFC9300].
4. Basic Overview
A Map-Server is a device that publishes EID-Prefixes in a LISP
mapping database on behalf of a set of ETRs. When it receives a Map Map-
Request (typically originating from an ITR), it consults the mapping
database to find an ETR that can answer with the set of RLOCs for an
EID-Prefix. To publish its EID-Prefixes, an ETR periodically sends
Map-Register messages to the Map-Server. A Map-Register message
contains a list of EID-Prefixes plus a set of RLOCs that can be used
to reach the ETRs.
When LISP-ALT [RFC6836] is used as the mapping database, a Map-Server
connects to the ALT network and acts as a "last-hop" ALT-Router.
Intermediate ALT-Routers forward Map-Requests to the Map-Server that
advertises a particular EID-Prefix, and the Map-Server forwards them
to the owning ETR, which responds with Map-Reply messages.
When LISP-DDT [RFC8111] is used as the mapping database, a Map-Server
sends the final Map-Referral messages from the Delegated Database
Tree.
A 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 acts
as a "first-hop" ALT-Router. It has Generic Routing Encapsulation
(GRE) tunnels configured to other ALT-Routers and uses BGP to learn
paths to ETRs for different prefixes in the LISP-ALT database. The
Map-Resolver uses this path information to forward Map-Requests over
the ALT to the correct ETRs. On a LISP-DDT network [RFC8111], a Map-
Resolver maintains a referral-cache referral cache and acts as a "first-hop" DDT- DDT
node. The Map-Resolver uses the referral information to forward Map-
Requests.
Note that while it is conceivable that a Map-Resolver could cache
responses to improve performance, issues surrounding cache management
would need to be resolved so that doing so will would be reliable and
practical. In this specification, Map-Resolvers will operate only in
a non-caching mode, decapsulating and forwarding Encapsulated Map Map-
Requests received from ITRs. Any specification of caching
functionality is out of scope for this document.
Note that a single device can implement the functions of both a Map-
Server and a Map-Resolver, and in many cases cases, the functions will be
co-located in that way. Also, there can be ALT-only nodes and DDT-
only nodes, when LISP-ALT and LISP-DDT are used, respectively, to
connecting Map-Resolvers and Map-Servers together to make up the
Mapping System.

Figure 2: IPv6 UDP LISP Control Message
When a UDP Map-Request, Map-Register, or Map-Notify (when used as a
notification message) are is sent, the UDP source port is chosen by the
sender and the destination UDP port number is set to 4342. When a
UDP Map-Reply, Map-Notify (when used as an acknowledgement acknowledgment to a Map-
Register), or Map-Notify-Ack are is sent, the source UDP port number is
set to 4342 and the destination UDP port number is copied from the
source port of either the Map-Request or the invoking data packet.
Implementations MUST be prepared to accept packets when either the
source port or destination UDP port is set to 4342 due to NATs
changing port number values.
The 'UDP Length' field will reflect the length of the UDP header and
the LISP Message payload. LISP is expected to be deployed by
cooperating entities communicating over underlays. Deployers are
expected to set the MTU according to the specific deployment
guidelines to prevent fragmentation of either the inner packet or the
outer encapsulated packet. For deployments not aware of the underlay
restrictions on the path MTU, the message size MUST be limited to 576
bytes for IPv4 or 1280 bytes for IPv6 -considering -- considering the entire IP
packet-
packet -- as outlined in [RFC8085].
The UDP checksum is computed and set to non-zero for all messages
sent to or from port 4342. It MUST be checked on receipt, and if the
checksum fails, the control message MUST be dropped [RFC1071].
The format of control messages includes the UDP header so the
checksum and length fields can be used to protect and delimit message
boundaries.
5.1. LISP Control Packet Type Allocations
This section defines the LISP control message formats and summarizes
for IANA the LISP Type codes assigned by this document. For
completeness, the summary below includes the LISP Shared Extension
Message assigned by [I-D.ietf-lisp-rfc8113bis]. [RFC9304]. Message type definitions are:

Table 1
Protocol designers experimenting with new message formats are
recommended to use the LISP Shared Extension Message Type described
in [I-D.ietf-lisp-rfc8113bis]. [RFC9304].
All LISP Control-Plane control plane messages use Address Family Identifiers (AFI)
[AFI] (AFIs)
[AFN] or LISP Canonical Address Format (LCAF) entries [RFC8060] formats to
encode either fixed fixed-length or variable length variable-length addresses. This
includes explicit fields in each control message or part of EID-records EID-
Records or
RLOC-records RLOC-Records in commonly formatted messages. LISP control-plane control
plane messages that include an unrecognized AFI MUST be dropped dropped, and
the event MUST be logged.
The LISP control-plane control plane describes how other data-planes data planes can encode
messages to support the Soliciting soliciting of Map-Requests as well as RLOC-
probing
Probing procedures.

Packet field descriptions:
Type: 1 (Map-Request)
A: This is an authoritative bit, it bit. It is set to 1 when an ITR wants
the destination site to return the Map-Reply rather than the
mapping database system returning a Map-Reply, Map-Reply and is set to 0
otherwise.
M: This is the map-data-present bit. When set, it indicates that a
Map-Reply Record segment is included in the Map-Request.
P: This is the probe-bit, which indicates that a Map-Request MUST be
treated as a Locator reachability probe. The receiver MUST
respond with a Map-Reply with the probe-bit set, indicating that
the Map-Reply is a Locator reachability probe reply, with the
nonce copied from the Map-Request. See RLOC-Probing Section 7.1 "RLOC-Probing Algorithm"
(Section 7.1) for more details. This RLOC-probe RLOC-Probe Map-Request MUST
NOT be sent to the mapping system. Mapping System. If a Map-Resolver or Map-Server Map-
Server receives a Map-Request with the probe-bit set, it MUST drop
the message.
S: This is the Solicit-Map-Request (SMR) bit. See Solicit-Map-
Request (SMRs) Section 6.1
"Solicit-Map-Request (SMR)" (Section 6.1) for details.
p: This is the PITR Proxy Ingress Tunnel Router (PITR) bit. This bit is
set to 1 when a PITR sends a Map-Request. The use of this bit is deployment-specific.
deployment specific.
s: This is the SMR-invoked bit. This bit is set to 1 when an xTR is
sending a Map-Request in response to a received SMR-based Map-
Request.
R: This reserved and unassigned bit MUST be set to 0 on transmit and
MUST be ignored on receipt.
Rsvd: This field MUST be set to 0 on transmit and MUST be ignored on
receipt.
L: This is the local-xtr bit. It is used by an xTR in a LISP site
to tell other xTRs in the same site that it is part of the RLOC-set RLOC-
Set for the LISP site. The L-bit is set to 1 when the RLOC is the
sender's IP address.
D: This is the dont-map-reply bit. It is used in the SMR procedure
described in Section 6.1. When an xTR sends an SMR message, it
doesn't need a Map-Reply returned. When this bit is set, the
receiver of the Map-Request does not return a Map-Reply.
IRC: This 5-bit field is the ITR-RLOC Count, which encodes the
additional number of ('ITR-RLOC-AFI', 'ITR-RLOC Address') fields
present in this message. At least one (ITR-RLOC-AFI, ITR-RLOC- ITR-RLOC
Address) pair MUST be encoded. Multiple 'ITR-RLOC Address' fields
are used, so a Map-Replier can select which destination address to
use for a Map-Reply. The IRC value ranges from 0 to 31. For a
value of 0, there is 1 ITR-RLOC address encoded; for a value of 1,
there are 2 ITR-RLOC addresses encoded, and so on up to 31, which
encodes a total of 32 ITR-RLOC addresses.
Record Count: This is the number of records in this Map-Request
message. A record is comprised of the portion of the packet that
is labeled 'Rec' above and occurs the number of times equal to
Record Count. For this version of the protocol, a receiver MUST
accept and process Map-Requests that contain one or more records,
but a sender MUST only send Map-Requests containing one record.
Nonce: This is an 8-octet random value created by the sender of the
Map-Request. This nonce will be returned in the Map-Reply. The
nonce is used as an index to identify the corresponding Map-
Request when a Map-Reply message is received. The nonce MUST be
generated by a properly seeded pseudo-random source, source; for example,
see as an
example [RFC4086].
Source-EID-AFI: This is the address family of the 'Source EID
Address' field.
Source EID Address: This is the EID of the source host that
originated the packet that caused the Map-Request. When Map-
Requests are used for refreshing a Map-Cache entry or for RLOC-
Probing, an AFI value of 0 is used used, and this field is of zero
length.
ITR-RLOC-AFI: This is the address family of the 'ITR-RLOC Address'
field that follows this field.
ITR-RLOC Address: This is used to give the ETR the option of
selecting the destination address from any address family for the
Map-Reply message. This address MUST be a routable RLOC address
of the sender of the Map-Request message.
EID mask-len: This is the mask length for the EID-Prefix.
EID-Prefix-AFI: This is the address family of the EID-Prefix
according to [AFI] [AFN] and [RFC8060].
EID-Prefix: This prefix address length is 4 octets for an IPv4
address family and 16 octets for an IPv6 address family when the
EID-Prefix-AFI is 1 or 2, respectively. For other AFIs [AFI], [AFN], the
address length varies varies, and for the LCAF AFI AFI, the format is defined
in [RFC8060]. When a Map-Request is sent by an ITR because a data
packet is received for a destination where there is no mapping
entry, the EID-Prefix is set to the destination IP address of the
data packet, and the 'EID mask-len' field is set to 32 or 128 for
IPv4 or IPv6, respectively. When an xTR wants to query a site
about the status of a mapping it already has cached, the EID-Prefix EID-
Prefix used in the Map-Request has the same mask-length mask length as the
EID-Prefix returned from the site when it sent a Map-Reply
message.
Map-Reply Record: When the M-bit is set, this field is the size of a
single "Record" in the Map-Reply format. This Map-Reply record
contains the EID-to-RLOC mapping entry associated with the Source source
EID. This allows the ETR that will receive this Map-Request to
cache the data if it chooses to do so. It is important to note
that this mapping has not been validated by the Mapping System.
5.3. EID-to-RLOC UDP Map-Request Message
A Map-Request is sent from an ITR when it needs a mapping for an EID,
wants to test an RLOC for reachability, or wants to refresh a mapping
before TTL Time to Live (TTL) expiration. For the initial case, the
destination IP address used for the Map-Request is the data packet's
destination address (i.e., the destination EID) that had a mapping
cache lookup failure. For the latter two cases, the destination IP
address used for the Map-Request is one of the RLOC addresses from
the Locator-Set of the Map-Cache entry. The source address is either
an IPv4 or IPv6 RLOC address, depending on whether the Map-Request is
using an IPv4 or IPv6 header, respectively. In all cases, the UDP
source port number for the Map-Request message is a 16-bit value
selected by the ITR/PITR, and the UDP destination port number is set
to the well-
known well-known destination port number 4342. A successful Map-Reply, Map-
Reply, which is one that has a nonce that matches an outstanding Map-Request Map-
Request nonce, will update the cached set of RLOCs associated with
the EID-Prefix range.
One or more Map-Request ('ITR-RLOC-AFI', 'ITR-RLOC-Address') 'ITR-RLOC Address') fields
MUST be filled in by the ITR. The number of fields (minus 1) encoded
MUST be placed in the 'IRC' field. The ITR MAY include all locally
configured Locators in this list or just provide one locator address Routing Locator
Address from each address family it supports. If the ITR erroneously
provides no ITR-RLOC addresses, the Map-Replier MUST drop the Map-
Request.
Map-Requests can also be LISP encapsulated using UDP destination
port 4342 with a LISP Type value set to "Encapsulated Control
Message", when sent from an ITR to a Map-Resolver. Likewise, Map-
Requests are LISP encapsulated the same way from a Map-Server to an
ETR. Details on Encapsulated Map-Requests and Map-Resolvers can be
found in Section 5.8.
Map-Requests MUST be rate-limited rate limited to 1 per second per EID-prefix. EID-Prefix.
After 10 retransmits without receiving the corresponding Map-Reply Map-Reply,
the sender MUST wait 30 seconds.
An ITR that is configured with mapping database information (i.e., it
is also an ETR) MAY optionally include those mappings in a Map-
Request. When an ETR configured to accept and verify such
"piggybacked" mapping data receives such a Map-Request and it does
not have this mapping in the Map-Cache, it MUST originate a
"verifying Map-Request" through the mapping database to validate thge the
"piggybacked" mapping data.

Packet field descriptions:
Type: 2 (Map-Reply)
P: This is the probe-bit, which indicates that the Map-Reply is in
response to a Locator reachability probe Map-Request. The 'Nonce'
field must contain a copy of the nonce value from the original
Map-Request. See RLOC-probing Section 7.1 "RLOC-Probing Algorithm" (Section 7.1) for more
details. When the probe-bit is set to 1 in a Map-Reply message,
the A-bit in each EID-record EID-Record included in the message MUST be set
to 1,
otherwise 1; otherwise, it MUST be silently discarded.
E: This bit indicates that the ETR that sends this Map-Reply message
is advertising that the site is enabled for the Echo-Nonce Locator
reachability algorithm. See Echo-Nonce [I-D.ietf-lisp-rfc6830bis] Section 10.1 ("Echo-Nonce Algorithm")
of [RFC9300] for more details.
S: This is the Security bit. When set to 1, the following
authentication information will be appended to the end of the Map-
Reply. The details Details can be found in [I-D.ietf-lisp-sec]. [RFC9303].

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Reserved: This unassigned field MUST be set to 0 on transmit and
MUST be ignored on receipt.
Record Count: This is the number of records in this reply message.
A record is comprised of that portion of the packet labeled
'Record' above and occurs the number of times equal to Record
Count. Note that the reply count can be larger than the requested
count, for instance instance, when more-specifics more-specific prefixes are present.
Nonce: This 64-bit value from the Map-Request is echoed in this
'Nonce' field of the Map-Reply.
Record TTL: This is the time in minutes the recipient of the Map-
Reply can store the mapping. If the TTL is 0, the entry MUST be
removed from the cache immediately. If the value is 0xffffffff,
the recipient can decide locally how long to store the mapping.
Locator Count: This is the number of Locator entries in the given
Record. A Locator entry comprises what is labeled above as 'Loc'.
The Locator count can be 0, indicating that there are no Locators
for the EID-Prefix.
EID mask-len: This is the mask length for the EID-Prefix.
ACT: This 3-bit field describes Negative Map-Reply actions. In any
other message type, these bits are set to 0 and ignored on
receipt. These bits are used only when the 'Locator Count' field
is set to 0. The action bits are encoded only in Map-Reply
messages. They are used to tell an ITR or PITR why a an empty
locator-set
Locator-Set was returned from the mapping system Mapping System and how it stores
the map-cache Map-Cache entry. See Section 12.3 for additional information.
(0) No-Action: The Map-Cache is kept alive, and no packet
encapsulation occurs.
(1) Natively-Forward: The packet is not encapsulated or dropped
but natively forwarded.
(2) Send-Map-Request: The Map-Cache entry is created and flagged
so that any packet matching this entry invokes sending a Map-
Request.
(3) Drop/No-Reason: A packet that matches this Map-Cache entry is
dropped. An ICMP Destination Unreachable message SHOULD be
sent.
(4) Drop/Policy-Denied: A packet that matches this Map-Cache
entry is dropped. The reason for the Drop action is that a
Map-Request for the target-EID target EID is being policy denied policy-denied by
either an xTR or the mapping system. Mapping System.
(5) Drop/Authentication-Failure: Drop/Auth-Failure: A packet that matches this Map-
Cache Map-Cache entry
is dropped. The reason for the Drop action is that a Map-Request Map-
Request for the target-EID target EID fails an authentication
verification-check
verification check by either an xTR or the mapping system. Mapping System.
A: The Authoritative bit MAY only be set to 1 by an ETR. A Map-
Server generating Map-Reply messages as a proxy MUST NOT set the
A-bit to 1. This bit indicates to the requesting ITRs if the Map-
Reply was originated by a LISP node managed at the site that owns
the EID-Prefix.
Map-Version Number: When this 12-bit value is non-zero, the Map-
Reply sender is informing the ITR what the version number is for
the EID record contained in the Map-Reply. The ETR can allocate
this number internally but MUST coordinate this value with other
ETRs for the site. When this value is 0, there an EID-Record of a
Map-Reply message is no versioning
information conveyed. The Map-Version Number can be included in
Map-Request and Map-Register messages. See Map-Versioning
[I-D.ietf-lisp-6834bis] non-zero, see [RFC9302] for more details.
EID-Prefix-AFI: Address This is the address family of the EID-Prefix
according to [AFI] [AFN] and [RFC8060].
EID-Prefix: This prefix is 4 octets for an IPv4 address family and
16 octets for an IPv6 address family.
Priority: Each RLOC is assigned a unicast Priority. Lower values
are more preferable. When multiple RLOCs have the same Priority, they
may be used in a load-split fashion. A value of 255 means the
RLOC MUST NOT be used for unicast forwarding.
Weight: When priorities are the same for multiple RLOCs, the Weight
indicates how to balance unicast traffic between them. Weight is
encoded as a relative weight of total unicast packets that match
the mapping entry. For example, if there are 4 Locators in a
Locator-Set, where the Weights assigned are 30, 20, 20, and 10,
the first Locator will get 37.5% of the traffic, the 2nd second and 3rd
third Locators will each get 25% of the traffic, and the 4th fourth
Locator will get 12.5% of the traffic. If all Weights for a
Locator-Set are equal, the receiver of the Map-Reply will decide
how to load-
split load-split the traffic. See RLOC-hashing [I-D.ietf-lisp-rfc6830bis] Section 12 ("Routing Locator
Hashing") of [RFC9300] for a suggested hash algorithm to
distribute the load across Locators with the same Priority and
equal Weight values.
M Priority: Each RLOC is assigned a multicast Priority used by an
ETR in a receiver multicast site to select an ITR in a source
multicast site for building multicast distribution trees. A value
of 255 means the RLOC MUST NOT be used for joining a multicast
distribution tree. For more details, see [RFC6831].
M Weight: When priorities are the same for multiple RLOCs, the
Weight indicates how to balance building multicast distribution
trees across multiple ITRs. The Weight is encoded as a relative
weight (similar to the unicast Weights) of the total number of
trees built to the source site identified by the EID-Prefix. If
all Weights for a Locator-Set are equal, the receiver of the Map-
Reply will decide how to distribute multicast state across ITRs.
For more details, see [RFC6831].
Unused Flags: These are set to 0 when sending and ignored on
receipt.
L: When this bit is set, the Locator is flagged as a local Locator
to the ETR that is sending the Map-Reply. When a Map-Server is
doing proxy Map-Replying for a LISP site, the L-bit is set to 0
for all Locators in this Locator-Set.
p: When this bit is set, an ETR informs the RLOC-Probing ITR that
the
locator address Routing Locator Address for which this bit is set is the one
being RLOC-
probed RLOC-Probed and may be different from the source address of
the Map-
Reply. Map-Reply. An ITR that RLOC-probes RLOC-Probes a particular Locator MUST
use this Locator for retrieving the data structure used to store
the fact that the Locator is reachable. The p-bit is set for a
single Locator in the same Locator-Set. If an implementation sets
more than one p-bit erroneously, the receiver of the Map-Reply
MUST select the first set p-bit Locator. The p-bit MUST NOT be
set for Locator-Set records sent in Map-Request and Map-Register
messages.
R: This is set when the sender of a Map-Reply has a route to the
Locator in the Locator data record. This receiver may find this
useful to know if the Locator is up but not necessarily reachable
from the receiver's point of view.
Locator: This is an IPv4 or IPv6 address (as encoded by the 'Loc-
AFI' field) assigned to an ETR and used by an ITR as a destination
RLOC address in the outer header of a LISP encapsulated packet.
Note that the destination RLOC address of a LISP encapsulated
packet MAY be an anycast address. A source RLOC of a LISP
encapsulated packet can be an anycast address as well. The source
or destination RLOC MUST NOT be the broadcast address
(255.255.255.255 or any subnet broadcast address known to the
router) and MUST NOT be a link-local multicast address. The
source RLOC MUST NOT be a multicast address. The destination RLOC
SHOULD be a multicast address if it is being mapped from a
multicast destination EID.
Map-Reply
Map-Replies MUST be rate-limited, it rate limited. It is RECOMMENDED that a Map-Reply
for the same destination RLOC be sent to no more than one packets per packet
every 3 seconds.
The Record format, as defined here, is used both in the Map-Reply and
Map-Register messages, messages; this includes all the field definitions.
5.5. EID-to-RLOC UDP Map-Reply Message
A Map-Reply returns an EID-Prefix with a mask-length mask length that is less
than or equal to the EID being requested. The EID being requested is
either from the destination field of an IP header of a Data-Probe or
the EID of a record of a Map-Request. The RLOCs in the Map-Reply are
routable IP addresses of all ETRs for the LISP site. Each RLOC
conveys status reachability but does not convey path reachability
from a requester's perspective. Separate testing of path
reachability is required. See RLOC-reachability Section 7.1 "RLOC-Probing Algorithm" (Section 7.1)
for details.
Note that a Map-Reply MAY contain different EID-Prefix granularity
(prefix + mask-length) mask length) than the Map-Request that triggers it. This
might occur if a Map-Request were for a prefix that had been returned
by an earlier Map-Reply. In such a case, the requester updates its
cache with the new prefix information and granularity. For example,
a requester with two cached EID-Prefixes that are covered by a Map-
Reply containing one less-specific prefix replaces the entry with the
less-specific EID-Prefix. Note that the reverse, replacement of one
less-specific prefix with multiple more-specific prefixes, can also
occur, not by removing the less-specific prefix but rather by adding
the more-specific prefixes that, during a lookup, will override the
less-specific prefix.
When an EID moves out of a LISP site [I-D.ietf-lisp-eid-mobility], [EID-MOBILITY], the database mapping system
Mapping System may have overlapping EID-prefixes. EID-Prefixes. Or when a LISP
site is configured with multiple sets of ETRs that support different EID-prefix mask-lengths,
EID-Prefix mask lengths, the database mapping
system Mapping System may have
overlapping EID-prefixes. EID-Prefixes. When overlapping EID-
prefixes EID-Prefixes exist, a
Map-Request with an EID that best matches any EID-
Prefix EID-Prefix MUST be
returned in a single Map-Reply message. For instance, if an ETR had
database mapping entries for EID-Prefixes:
2001:db8::/32
2001:db8:1::/48
2001:db8:1:1::/64
2001:db8:1:2::/64
A Map-Request for EID 2001:db8:1:1::1 would cause a Map-Reply with a
record count of 1 to be returned with a mapping record EID-Prefix of
2001:db8:1:1::/64.
A Map-Request for EID 2001:db8:1:5::5 would cause a Map-Reply with a
record count of 3 to be returned with mapping records for EID-
Prefixes 2001:db8:1::/48, 2001:db8:1:1::/64, and 2001:db8:1:2::/64,
filling out the /48 with more-specifics more-specific prefixes that exist in the mapping
system.
Mapping System.
Note that not all overlapping EID-Prefixes need to be returned but
only the more-specific entries (note that in the second example above that
2001:db8::/32 was not returned for requesting EID 2001:db8:1:5::5)
for the matching EID-Prefix of the requesting EID. When more than
one EID-Prefix is returned, all SHOULD use the same Time to Live TTL value so they
can all time out at the same time. When a more-
specific more-specific EID-Prefix
is received later, its Time to Live TTL value in the Map-Reply record can be
stored even when other less-specific entries exist. When a less-specific less-
specific EID-Prefix is received later, its Map-
Cache Map-Cache expiration time
SHOULD be set to the minimum expiration time of any more-specific
EID-Prefix in the Map-Cache. This is done so the integrity of the
EID-Prefix set is wholly maintained and so no more-
specific more-specific entries
are removed from the Map-Cache while keeping less-
specific less-specific entries.
For scalability, it is expected that aggregation of EID addresses
into EID-Prefixes will allow one Map-Reply to satisfy a mapping for
the EID addresses in the prefix range, thereby reducing the number of
Map-Request messages.
Map-Reply records can have an empty Locator-Set. A Negative Map-
Reply is a Map-Reply with an empty Locator-Set. Negative Map-Replies
convey special actions by the Map-Reply sender to the ITR or PITR
that have solicited the Map-Reply. There are two primary
applications for Negative Map-Replies. The first is for a Map-Resolver Map-
Resolver to instruct an ITR or PITR when a destination is for a LISP
site versus a non-LISP site, and the other is to source quench Map-Requests Map-
Requests that are sent for non-allocated EIDs.
For each Map-Reply record, the list of Locators in a Locator-Set MUST
be sorted in order of ascending IP address where an IPv4 locator
address Routing
Locator Address is considered numerically 'less than' "less than" an IPv6 locator
address. Routing
Locator Address.
When sending a Map-Reply message, the destination address is copied
from one of the 'ITR-RLOC' fields from the Map-Request. The ETR can
choose a locator address Routing Locator Address from one of the address families it
supports. For Data-Probes, the destination address of the Map-Reply
is copied from the source address of the Data-Probe message that is
invoking the reply. The source address of the Map-Reply is one of
the chosen local IP addresses chosen, to allow addresses; this allows Unicast Reverse Path
Forwarding (uRPF) checks to succeed in the upstream service provider.
The destination port of a Map-Reply message is copied from the source
port of the Map-Request or Data-Probe, and the source port of the
Map-Reply message is set to the well-known UDP port 4342.
5.6. Map-Register Message Format
This section specifies the encoding format for the Map-Register
message. The message is sent in UDP with a destination UDP port of
4342 and a randomly selected UDP source port number.
The fields below are used in multiple control messages. They are
defined for Map-Register, Map-Notify Map-Notify, and Map-Notify-Ack message
types.
The Map-Register message format is:
0 1 2 3
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

on behalf of the ETR.
S: This is the security-capable bit. When set, the procedures from
[I-D.ietf-lisp-sec]
[RFC9303] are supported.
I: This is the ID-present bit. This bit is set to 1 to indicate
that a 128 bit xTR-ID 128-bit 'xTR-ID' field and a 64 bit Site-ID fields 64-bit 'Site-ID' field are
present at the end of the Map-Register message. If an xTR is
configured with an xTR-ID and Site-ID, it MUST set the I bit I-bit to 1
and include its xTR-ID and Site-ID in the Map-Register messages it
generates. The combination of Site-ID plus xTR-ID uniquely
identifies an xTR in a LISP domain and serves to track its last
seen nonce.
Reserved: This unassigned field MUST be set to 0 on transmit and
MUST be ignored on receipt.
E: This is the Map-Register EID-notify bit. This is used by a First-
Hop-Router (FHR) which
First-Hop Router that discovers a dynamic-EID. dynamic EID. This EID-notify EID-notify-
based Map-Register is sent by the FHR First-Hop Router to a same site

use case.
T: This is the use-TTL use TTL for timeout bit. When set to 1, the xTR
wants the Map-Server to time out registrations based on the value
in the
"Record TTL" 'Record TTL' field of this message. Otherwise, the default
timeout described in Section 8.2 is used.
a: This is the merge-request bit. When set to 1, the xTR requests
to merge RLOC-records RLOC-Records from different xTRs registering the same EID-
record.
EID-Record. See signal-free multicast Signal-Free Multicast [RFC8378] for one use case use-case
example.
R: This reserved and unassigned bit MUST be set to 0 on transmit and
MUST be ignored on receipt.
M: This is the want-map-notify bit. When set to 1, an ETR is
requesting a Map-Notify message to be returned in response to
sending a Map-Register message. The Map-Notify message sent by a
Map-Server is used to acknowledge receipt of a Map-Register
message.
Record Count: This is the number of records in this Map-Register
message. A record is comprised of that portion of the packet
labeled 'Record' above and occurs the number of times equal to
Record Count.
Nonce: This 8-octet 'Nonce' field is incremented each time a Map-
Register message is sent. When a Map-Register acknowledgement acknowledgment is
requested, the nonce is returned by Map-Servers in Map-Notify
messages. Since the entire Map-Register message is authenticated,
the 'Nonce' field serves to protect against Map-Register replay
attacks. An ETR that registers to the mapping system Mapping System SHOULD store
the last nonce sent in persistent storage storage, so when it restarts restarts, it
can continue using an incrementing nonce. If the ETR cannot
support saving the nonce, then when it restarts restarts, it MUST use a new
authentication key to register to the mapping system. Mapping System. A Map-
Server MUST track and save in persistent storage the last nonce
received for each ETR xTR-ID and key pair. If a Map-Register is
received with a nonce value that is not greater than the saved
nonce, it MUST drop the Map-Register message and SHOULD log the
fact that a replay attack could have occurred.
Key ID: A This is a key-id value that identifies a pre-shared secret
between an ETR and a Map-Server. Per-message keys are derived
from the pre-shared secret to authenticate the origin and protect
the integrity of the Map-Register. The Key ID allows to rotate rotating
between multiple pre-shared secrets in a non disruptive nondisruptive way. The
pre-shared secret MUST be unique per each LISP "Site-ID" Site-ID.
Algorithm ID: This field identifies the Key Derivation Function
(KDF) and Message Authentication Code (MAC) algorithms used to
derive the key and to compute the Authentication Data of a Map-
Register. This 8-bit field identifies the KDF and MAC algorithm
pair. See Section 12.5 for codepoint assignments.
Authentication Data Length: This is the length in octets of the
'Authentication Data' field that follows this field. The length
of the 'Authentication Data' field is dependent on the MAC
algorithm used. The length field allows a device that doesn't
know the MAC algorithm to correctly parse the packet.
Authentication Data: This is the output of the MAC algorithm placed
in this field after the MAC computation. The MAC output is
computed as follows:
1:
1. The KDF algorithm is identified by the field 'Algorithm ID' field
according to the table in Section 12.5. Implementations of
this specification MUST implement HMAC-SHA-256-128 [RFC4868]
and SHOULD implement HMAC-SHA-256-128+HKDF-SHA256 [RFC5869] .
2: [RFC5869].
2. The MAC algorithm is identified by the field 'Algorithm ID' field
according to the table in Section 12.5.
3:
3. The pre-shared secret used to derive the per-message key is
represented by PSK[Key ID], that is is, the pre-shared secret
identified by the 'Key ID'.
4: Key ID.
4. The derived per-message key is computed as: per-msg-
key=KDF(nonce+PSK[Key ID],s). Where the nonce is the value in
the Nonce 'Nonce' field of the Map-Register, '+' "+" denotes
concatenation and 's' "s" (the salt) is a string that corresponds
to the message type being authenticated. For Map-Register
messages, it is equal to "Map-Register Authentication".
Similarly, for Map-
Notify Map-Notify and Map-Notify-Ack messages, it is
"Map-Notify Authentication" and "Map-Notify-Ack
Authentication", respectively. For those Algorithm IDs
defined in Section 12.5 that specify a 'none' KDF, the per-message per-
message key is computed as: per-msg-key = PSK[Key ID]. This
means that the same key is used across multiple protocol
messages.
5:
5. The MAC output is computed using the MAC algorithm and the
per-msg-key over the entire Map-Register payload (from and
including the LISP message type field through the end of the
last RLOC record) RLOC-Record) with the authenticated data field preset to
0.
The definition of the rest of the Map-Register can be found in EID-
record the
EID-Record description in Section 5.4. When the I-bit is set, the
following fields are added to the end of the Map-Register message:
xTR-ID: xTR-ID 'xTR-ID' is a 128 bit 128-bit field at the end of the Map-Register
message, starting after the final Record in the message. The xTR-
ID is used to uniquely identify a an xTR. The same xTR-ID value
MUST NOT be used in two different xTRs in the scope of the Site-ID. Site-
ID.
Site-ID: Site-ID 'Site-ID' is a 64 bit 64-bit field at the end of the Map- Register Map-Register
message, following the xTR-ID. The Site-ID is used to uniquely
identify to which site the xTR that sent the message belongs.
This document does not specify a strict meaning for the Site-ID 'Site-ID'
field. Informally Informally, it provides an indication that a group of xTRs
have some relation, relationship, either administratively, topologically topologically, or
otherwise.
5.7. Map-Notify/Map-Notify-Ack Map-Notify and Map-Notify-Ack Message Format Formats
This section specifies the encoding format for the Map-Notify and
Map-Notify-Ack messages. The messages are sent inside a UDP packet
with source and destination UDP ports equal to 4342.
The Map-Notify and Map-Notify-Ack message formats are:

Packet field descriptions:
Type: 4/5 (Map-Notify/Map-Notify-Ack)
The Map-Notify message has the same contents as a Map-Register
message. See the Map-Register section "Map-Register Message Format" (Section 5.6) for field
descriptions and the
Map-Reply section "Map-Reply Message Format" (Section 5.4) for EID-record EID-
Record and RLOC-record RLOC-Record descriptions.
The fields of the Map-Notify are copied from the corresponding Map-
Register to acknowledge its correct processing. In the Map-Notfiy, Map-Notify,
the 'Authentication Data' field is recomputed using the corresponding
per-message key and according to the procedure defined in the
previous section. The Map-Notify message can also used, outside the
scope of this specification, be used in an
unsolicited manner, such as manner. This topic is
specified in [I-D.ietf-lisp-pubsub]. out of scope for this document.
See [LISP-PUBSUB] for details.
After sending a Map-Register, if a Map-Notify is not received after 1
second
second, the transmitter MUST re-transmit retransmit the original Map-Register
with an exponential backoff (base of 2, that is, the next backoff
timeout interval is doubled), doubled); the maximum backoff is 1 minute. Map-
Notify messages are only transmitted upon the reception of a Map-
Register with the M-bit set, set; Map-Notify messages are not
retransmitted. The only exeption exception to this is for unsolicited Map-
Notify messages, messages; see below.
A Map-Server sends an unsolicited Map-Notify message (one that is not
used as an acknowledgment to a Map-Register message) only in
conformance with the Congestion Section 3.1 ("Congestion Control And Relability Guideline
sections Guidelines") of
[RFC8085] and Section 3.3 ("Reliability Guidelines") of [RFC8085]. A
Map-Notify is retransmitted until a Map-
Notify-Ack Map-Notify-Ack is received by the
Map-Server with the same nonce used in the Map-Notify message. An
implementation SHOULD retransmit up to 3 times at 3 second 3-second
retransmission intervals, after which time the retransmission
interval is exponentially backed-off backed off (base of 2, that is, the next
backoff timeout interval is doubled) for another 3 retransmission
attempts. Map-Notify-Ack messages are only transmitted upon the
reception of an unsolicited Map-Notify, Map-
Notify-Ack Map-Notify; Map-Notify-Ack messages are
not retransmitted.
The Map-Notify-Ack message has the same contents as a Map-Notify
message. It is used to acknowledge the receipt of an unsolicited
Map-Notify and, once the the authentication data Authentication Data is validated, allows
for the
sender to stop retransmitting a Map-Notify with the same nonce and the authentication data validates.
(validated) Authentication Data. The fields of the Map-
Notify-Ack Map-Notify-Ack
are copied from the corresponding Map-Notify message to acknowledge
its correct processing. The 'Authentication Data' field is
recomputed using the corresponding per-message key and according to
the procedure defined in the previous section.
Upon reception of a Map-Register, Map-Notify Map-Notify, or Map-Notifiy-Ack, Map-Notify-Ack, the
receiver verifies the authentication data. Authentication Data. If the authentication

Data fails to validate, the message is dropped without further
processing.
5.8. Encapsulated Control Message Format
An Encapsulated Control Message (ECM) is used to encapsulate control
packets sent between xTRs and the mapping database system or internal
to the mapping database system.

R: This reserved and unassigned bit MUST be set to 0 on transmit
and MUST be ignored on receipt.
IH: The This is the inner IPv4 or IPv6 header, which can use either

Map-Request is encapsulated in this packet format, the
destination address in this header is an EID.
UDP: The This is the inner UDP header, where the port assignments depend
on the control packet being encapsulated. When the control
packet is a Map-Request or Map-Register, the source port is
selected by the ITR/PITR and the destination port is 4342.
When the control packet is a Map-Reply, the source port is 4342
and the destination port is assigned from the source port of
the invoking Map-Request. Port number 4341 MUST NOT be
assigned to either port. The checksum field MUST be non-zero.
LCM: The format is one of the control message formats described in
Section 5. Map-Request messages are allowed to be Control-
Plane control
plane (ECM) encapsulated. When Map-Requests are sent for RLOC-
Probing purposes (i.e. (i.e., the probe-bit is set), they MUST NOT be
sent inside Encapsulated Control Messages. PIM Join/Prune
messages [RFC6831] are also allowed to be Control-Plane control plane (ECM)
encapsulated.
6. Changing the Contents of EID-to-RLOC Mappings
In the LISP architecture architecture, ITRs/PITRs use a local Map-Cache to store
EID-to-RLOC mappings for forwarding. When an ETR updates a mapping mapping,
a mechanism is required to inform ITRs/PITRs that are using such
mappings.
The LISP Data-Plane data plane defines several mechanism mechanisms to update mappings
[I-D.ietf-lisp-rfc6830bis].
[RFC9300]. This document specifies the Solicit-Map
Request Solicit-Map-Request (SMR), a Control-Plane
control plane push-based mechanism. An additional
Control-Plane control plane
mechanism based on the Publish/subscribe Publish/Subscribe paradigm is specified in [I-D.ietf-lisp-pubsub].
[LISP-PUBSUB].
6.1. Solicit-Map-Request (SMR)
Soliciting a Map-Request is a selective way for ETRs, at the site
where mappings change, to control the rate they receive requests for
Map-Reply messages. SMRs are also used to tell remote ITRs to update
the mappings they have cached.
Since ETRs are not required to keep track of remote ITRs that have
cached their mappings, they do not know which ITRs need to have their
mappings updated. As a result, an ETR will solicit Map-Requests to
those sites to which it has been sending LISP encapsulated data
packets for the last minute. As a result, minute, and when an ETR is also acting as an
ITR, it will send an SMR to an ITR to which it has recently sent
encapsulated data.
An SMR message is simply a bit set in a Map-Request message. An ITR
or PITR will send a Map-Request (SMR-invoked Map-Request) when they
receive it
receives an SMR message. While the SMR message is sent through the
data-plane,
data plane, the SMR-invoked Map-Request MUST be sent through the
Mapping System (not directly).
Both the SMR sender and the SMR responder MUST rate-limit rate limit these
messages. It is RECOMMENDED that the SMR sender rate-limits rate limit a Map-
Request for the same destination RLOC to no more than one packet per
every 3 seconds. It is RECOMMENDED that the SMR responder rate-limits Map-
Request rate limit
a Map-Request for the same EID-Prefix to no more than once per every 3
seconds.
When an ITR receives an SMR message for which it does not have a
cached mapping for the EID in the SMR message, it SHOULD NOT send an
SMR-invoked Map-Request. This scenario can occur when an ETR sends
SMR messages to all Locators in the Locator-Set it has stored in its
Map-Cache but the remote ITRs that receive the SMR may not be sending
packets to the site. There is no point in updating the ITRs until
they need to send, in which case they will send Map-Requests to
obtain a Map-Cache entry.
7. Routing Locator Reachability
This document defines several Control-Plane control plane mechanisms for
determining RLOC reachability. Please note that additional Data-
Plane data
plane reachability mechanisms are defined in
[I-D.ietf-lisp-rfc6830bis]. [RFC9300].
1. An ITR may receive an ICMP Network Unreachable or Host
Unreachable message for an RLOC it is using. This indicates that
the RLOC is likely down. Note that trusting ICMP messages may
not be desirable, but neither is ignoring them completely.
Implementations are encouraged to follow current best practices
in treating these conditions [I-D.ietf-opsec-icmp-filtering]. [OPSEC-ICMP-FILTER].
2. When an ITR participates in the routing protocol that operates in
the underlay routing system, it can determine that an RLOC is
down when no Routing Information Base (RIB) entry exists that
matches the RLOC IP address.
3. An ITR may receive an ICMP Port Unreachable message from a
destination host. This occurs if an ITR attempts to use
interworking [RFC6832] and LISP-encapsulated data is sent to a
non-LISP-capable site.
4. An ITR may receive a Map-Reply from an ETR in response to a
previously sent Map-Request. The RLOC source of the Map-Reply is
likely up, since the ETR was able to send the Map-Reply to the
ITR. Please note that in some scenarios the RLOC -from -- from the
outer
header- header -- can be an a spoofable field.
5. An ITR/ETR pair can use the 'RLOC-Probing' mechanism described
below.
When ITRs receive ICMP Network Unreachable or Host Unreachable
messages as a method to determine unreachability, they will refrain
from using Locators that are described in Locator lists of Map-
Replies. However, using this approach is unreliable because many
network operators turn off generation of ICMP Destination Unreachable
messages.
If an ITR does receive an ICMP Network Unreachable or Host
Unreachable message, it MAY originate its own ICMP Destination
Unreachable message destined for the host that originated the data
packet the ITR encapsulated.
This assumption does create a dependency: Locator unreachability is
detected by the receipt of ICMP Host Unreachable messages. When a
Locator has been determined to be unreachable, it is not used for
active traffic; this is the same as if it were listed in a Map-Reply
with Priority 255.
The ITR can test the reachability of the unreachable Locator by
sending periodic Map-Requests. Both Map-Requests and Map-Replies
MUST be rate-limited, rate limited; see Section Sections 5.3 and Section 5.4 for information about rate-limiting.
rate limiting. Locator reachability testing is never done with data
packets, since that increases the risk of packet loss for end-
to-end end-to-end
sessions.
7.1. RLOC-Probing Algorithm
RLOC-Probing is a method that an ITR or PITR can use to determine the
reachability status of one or more Locators that it has cached in a
Map-Cache entry. The probe-bit of the Map-Request and Map-Reply
messages is used for RLOC-Probing.
RLOC-Probing is done in the control plane on a timer basis, where an
ITR or PITR will originate a Map-Request destined to a locator
address Routing
Locator Address from one of its own locator addresses. Routing Locator Addresses. A
Map-Request used as an RLOC-probe RLOC-Probe is NOT encapsulated and NOT sent to
a Map-Server or to the mapping database system as one would when
requesting mapping data. The EID record EID-Record encoded in the Map-Request
is the EID-Prefix of the Map-Cache entry cached by the ITR or PITR.
The ITR MAY include a mapping data record for its own database
mapping information that contains the local EID-Prefixes and RLOCs
for its site. RLOC-probes RLOC-Probes are sent periodically using a jittered
timer interval.
When an ETR receives a Map-Request message with the probe-bit set, it
returns a Map-Reply with the probe-bit set. The source address of
the Map-Reply is set to the IP address of the outgoing interface the
Map-Reply destination address routes to. The Map-Reply SHOULD
contain mapping data for the EID-Prefix contained in the Map-Request.
This provides the opportunity for the ITR or PITR that sent the RLOC-
probe
Probe to get mapping updates if there were changes to the ETR's
database mapping entries.
There are advantages and disadvantages of RLOC-Probing. The main
benefit of RLOC-Probing is that it can handle many failure scenarios scenarios,
allowing the ITR to determine when the path to a specific Locator is
reachable or has become unreachable, thus providing a robust
mechanism for switching to using another Locator from the cached
Locator. RLOC-Probing can also provide rough Round-Trip Time (RTT)
estimates between a pair of Locators, which can be useful for network
management purposes as well as for selecting low delay low-delay paths. The
major disadvantage of RLOC-Probing is in the number of control
messages required and the amount of bandwidth used to obtain those
benefits, especially if the requirement for failure detection times
is very small.
8. Interactions with Other LISP Components
8.1. ITR EID-to-RLOC Mapping Resolution
An ITR is configured with one or more Map-Resolver addresses. These
addresses are "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, an ITR does not need to
connect to any other database mapping system. Mapping System.
An ITR sends an Encapsulated Map-Request to a configured Map-Resolver
when it needs an EID-to-RLOC mapping that is not found in its local
Map-Cache. Using the 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",
Forward" and a 15-minute Time to Live (TTL)) TTL) from the Map-Resolver if the Map-Resolver Map-
Resolver can determine that the requested EID does not exist. The
ITR saves the 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 a
Map-Server that is authoritative (within the LISP deployment
Section 1.1)
(Section 1.1)) for an EID-Prefix that matches the requested EID
but that does not have an actively registered, more-specific EID-
prefix.
Prefix. In this case, the requested EID is said to match a "hole"
in the authoritative EID-Prefix. If the requested EID matches a
more-specific EID-Prefix that has been delegated by the Map-Server
but for which no ETRs are currently registered, a 1-minute TTL is
returned. If the requested EID matches a non-delegated part of
the authoritative EID-Prefix, then it is not a LISP EID and a
15-minute TTL is returned. See Section 8.2 for a discussion of
aggregate EID-Prefixes and details of regarding 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 answering on behalf of the ETR. See
Section 8.4 for more details on Map-Resolver message processing.
Note that an ITR may be configured to both use a 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 learned via ALT BGP. Such a configuration is expected to be
very rare, since there is little benefit to using a 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 is present before sending that
Map-Request.
8.2. EID-Prefix Configuration and ETR Registration
An ETR publishes its EID-Prefixes on a Map-Server by sending LISP
Map-Register messages. A Map-Register message includes
authentication data,
Authentication Data, so prior to sending a Map-Register message, the
ETR and Map-Server MUST be configured with a pre-shared secret used
to derive Map-Register authentication keys. A Map-Server's
configuration SHOULD also include a list of the EID-Prefixes for
which each ETR is authoritative. Upon receipt of a Map-Register from
an ETR, a Map-Server accepts only EID-Prefixes that are configured
for that ETR. Failure to implement such a check would leave the
mapping system
Mapping System vulnerable to trivial EID-Prefix hijacking attacks.
In addition to the set of EID-Prefixes defined for each ETR that may
register, a 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 are implemented as discard routes and advertised into ALT
BGP. The existence of aggregate EID-Prefixes in a Map-Server's
database means that it may receive Map Requests Map-Requests for EID-Prefixes that
match an aggregate but do not match a registered prefix; Section 8.3
describes how this is handled.
Map-Register messages are sent periodically from an ETR to a Map-
Server with a suggested interval between messages of one minute. A
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 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 explicitly acknowledge receipt
and processing of a Map-Register message by setting the "want-map-
notify" (M-bit) flag. A 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 but then
set it only occasionally during steady-state maintenance of its
association with that 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 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; 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
[I-D.ietf-lisp-mn].
[LISP-MN].
An ETR MAY also request, by setting the "proxy Map-Reply" flag
(P-bit) in the Map-Register message, that a Map-Server answer Map-
Requests instead of forwarding them to the ETR. See Section 7.1 for
details on how the Map-Server sets certain flags (such as those
indicating whether the message is authoritative and how returned
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 being registered, along with
the routable flag ("R-bit") setting for each RLOC. The Map-Server
includes all of this information in 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
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 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 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 is to avoid the complexity
of the mapping database protocols.
8.3. Map-Server Processing
Once a Map-Server has EID-Prefixes registered by its client ETRs, it
can accept and process Map-Requests for them.
In response to a Map-Request, the Map-Server first checks to see if
the destination EID matches a configured EID-Prefix. If there is no
match, the Map-Server returns a Negative Map-Reply with action code
"Natively-Forward" and a 15-minute TTL. This can occur if a Map Map-
Request is received for a configured aggregate EID-Prefix for which
no more-specific EID-Prefix exists; it indicates the presence of a
non-LISP "hole" in the aggregate EID-Prefix.
Next, the Map-Server checks to see if any ETRs have registered the
matching EID-Prefix. If none are found, then the Map-Server returns
a Negative Map-Reply with action code "Natively-Forward" and a
1-minute TTL.
If the EID-prefix EID-Prefix is either registered or not registered to the
mapping system
Mapping System and there is a policy in the Map-Server to have the
requestor
requester drop packets for the matching EID-prefix, EID-Prefix, then a Drop/
Policy-Denied action is returned. If the EID-prefix EID-Prefix is registered or
not registered and there is a an authentication failure, then a Drop/
Authentication- failure
Auth-Failure action is returned. If either of these actions result results
as a temporary state in policy or authentication authentication, then a Send-Map-Request Send-Map-
Request action with a 1-minute TTL MAY be returned to allow the requestor
requester to retry the Map-Request.
If any of the registered ETRs for the EID-Prefix have requested proxy
reply service, then the Map-Server answers the request instead of
forwarding it. It returns a Map-Reply with the EID-Prefix, RLOCs,
and other information learned through the registration process.
If none of the ETRs have requested proxy reply service, then the 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. Unless also acting
as a Map-Resolver, a 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.
8.4. Map-Resolver Processing
Upon receipt of an Encapsulated Map-Request, a 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 is also a 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 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 will have an ALT forwarding
table that covers the full EID space), it immediately returns a
negative LISP Map-Reply,
Negative 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 SHOULD return the least-specific
prefix that both matches the original query and does not match any
EID-Prefix known to exist in the LISP-capable infrastructure.
If the 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 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 does not send any response
to the ITR; since the source RLOC is that of the ITR, the ETR or Map-
Server that receives the Map-Request over the ALT and responds will
do so directly to the ITR.
8.4.1. Anycast Operation
A Map-Resolver can be set up to use "anycast", where the same address
is assigned to multiple Map-Resolvers and is propagated through IGP
routing, to facilitate the use of a topologically close Map-Resolver
by each ITR.
ETRs MAY have anycast RLOC addresses which that are registered as part of
their RLOC-set RLOC-Set to the mapping system. Mapping System. However, registrations MUST
use their unique RLOC addresses, distinct authentication keys keys, or
different XTR-IDs xTR-IDs to identify security associations with the Map-
Servers.
9. Security Considerations
A LISP threat analysis can be found in [RFC7835]. In what follows Here, we highlight
security considerations that apply when LISP is deployed in
environments such as those specified in Section 1.1, where the
following assumptions hold:
1. The Mapping System is secure and trusted, and for the purpose of
this
these security considerations considerations, the Mapping System is considered
as one trusted element.
2. The ETRs have a pre-configured preconfigured trust relationship with the Mapping
System, which includes including some form of shared secret, and
the secret. The Mapping System
is aware of which EIDs an ETR can advertise. How those keys and
mappings gets are established is out of the scope
of for this document.
3. LISP-SEC [I-D.ietf-lisp-sec] [RFC9303] MUST be implemented. Network operators should
carefully weight weigh how the LISP-SEC threat model applies to their
particular use case or deployment. If they decide to ignore a
particular recommendation, they should make sure the risk
associated with the corresponding threats is well understood.
The Map-Request/Map-Reply message exchange can be exploited by an
attacker to mount DoS and/or amplification attacks. Attackers can
send Map-Requests at high rates to overload LISP nodes and increase
the state maintained by such nodes or consume CPU cycles. Such
threats can be mitigated by systematically applying filters and rate
limiters.
The Map-Request/Map-Reply message exchange can also be exploited to
inject forged mappings directly in into the ITR EID-to-RLOC map-cache. Map-Cache.
This can lead to traffic being redirected to the attacker, attacker; see
further details in [RFC7835]. In addition, valid ETRs in the system
can perform overclaiming attacks. In this case, attackers can claim
to own an EID-prefix EID-Prefix that is larger than the prefix owned by the ETR.
Such attacks can be addressed by using LISP-SEC [I-D.ietf-lisp-sec]. [RFC9303]. The LISP-SEC LISP-
SEC protocol defines a mechanism for providing origin authentication,
integrity protection, and prevention of 'man-in-the-
middle' 'man-in-the-middle' and
'prefix overclaiming' attacks on the Map-Request/Map-
Reply Map-Request/Map-Reply exchange.
In addition addition, and while beyond the scope of securing an individual
Map-Server or Map-Resolver, it should be noted that LISP-SEC can be
complemented by additional security mechanisms defined by the Mapping
System Infrastructure. infrastructure. For instance, BGP-
based BGP-based LISP-ALT [RFC6836]
can take advantage of standards work on adding security to BGP BGP, while
LISP-DDT [RFC8111] defines its own additional security mechanisms.
To publish an authoritative EID-to-RLOC mapping with a Map-Server
using the Map-Register message, an ETR includes authentication data Authentication Data
that is a MAC of the entire message using a key derived from the pre-
shared secret. An implementation SHOULD support HMAC-SHA256-
128+HKDF-SHA256 [RFC5869]. The Map-Register message includes
protection for against replay attacks by a man-in-the-middle. man in the middle. However,
there is a potential attack where a compromised ETR could overclaim
the prefix it owns and successfully register it on its corresponding Map-
Server.
Map-Server. To mitigate this and this, as noted in Section 8.2, a Map-Server
MUST verify that all EID-Prefixes registered by an ETR match the
configuration stored on the Map-Server.
Deployments concerned about manipulations of Map-Request and Map-
Reply messages, messages and malicious ETR EID prefix EID-Prefix overclaiming MUST drop
LISP Control Plane control plane messages that do not contain LISP-SEC material
(S-bit, EID-AD, OTK-AD, PKT-AD). See Section 3 of [RFC9303] for
definitions of "EID-AD", "OTK-AD", and "PKT-AD".
Mechanisms to encrypt, support privacy, and prevent eavesdropping and
packet tampering for messages exchanged between xTRs, between xTRs
and the
mapping system, Mapping System, and between nodes that make up the mapping system, Mapping
System SHOULD be deployed. Examples of this are DTLS [RFC6347] [RFC9147] or LISP-crypto
"lisp-crypto" [RFC8061].
10. Privacy Considerations
As noted by [RFC6973] [RFC6973], privacy is a complex issue that greatly
depends on the specific protocol use-case use case and deployment. As noted
in
section Section 1.1 of [I-D.ietf-lisp-rfc6830bis] [RFC9300], LISP focuses on use-cases use cases where entities
communicate over the public Internet while keeping separate
addressing and topology. In what follows Here, we detail the privacy threats
introduced by the LISP Control Plane, control plane; the analysis is based on the
guidelines detailed in [RFC6973].
LISP can use long-lived identifiers (EIDs) that survive mobility
events. Such identifiers bind to the RLOCs of the nodes, which
represents nodes. The RLOCs
represent the topological location with respect to the specific LISP
deployments. In addition, EID-to-RLOC mappings are typically
considered public information within the LISP deployment when
control-plane control
plane messages are not encrypted, encrypted and can be eavesdropped while Map-Request Map-
Request messages are sent to the corresponding Map-
Resolvers Map-Resolvers or Map-Register Map-
Register messages to Map-Servers.
In this context, attackers can correlate the EID with the RLOC and
track the corresponding user topological location and/or mobility.
This can be achieved by off-path attackers, if they are
authenticated, by querying the mapping system. Mapping System. Deployments concerned
about this threat can use access control-lists control lists or stronger
authentication mechanisms [I-D.ietf-lisp-ecdsa-auth] [ECDSA-AUTH] in the mapping
system Mapping System to make
sure that only authorized users can access this information (data
minimization). Use of ephemeral EIDs
[I-D.ietf-lisp-eid-anonymity] [EID-ANONYMITY] to achieve
anonymity is another mechanism to lessen persistency and identity
tracking.
11. Changes since RFC Related to RFCs 6830 and 6833
For implementation considerations, the following major changes have
been made to this document since RFC 6833 was [RFC6830] and [RFC6833] were
published:
o A
* The 16-bit 'Key ID' field of the Map-Register and Map-Notify
messages as defined in [RFC6830] has been split into an 8-bit 'Key
ID' field and an 8-bit 'Algorithm ID' field. Note that this
change also applies to the Map-Notify-Ack message is added in defined by this
document. See Sections 5.6 and 5.7.
* This document defines a Map-Notify-Ack message to provide
reliability for Map-Notify messages. Any receiver of a Map-Notify
message must respond with a Map-Notify-Ack message. Map-Servers
who are senders of Map-Notify messages, messages must queue the Map-Notify
contents until they receive a Map-Notify-Ack with the nonce used
in the Map-Notify message. Note that implementations for Map-
Notify-Ack support already exist and predate this document.
o
* This document is incorporating has incorporated the codepoint for the Map-Referral
message from the LISP-DDT specification [RFC8111] to indicate that
a Map-Server must send the final Map-Referral message when it
participates in the LISP-DDT mapping system Mapping System procedures.
o The L"
* Bits L and "D" bits are D have been added to the Map-Request message. See
Section 5.3 for details.
o The "S", "I", "E", "T", "a", "R",
* Bits S, I, E, T, a, R, and "M" bits are M have been added to the Map-Register
message. See Section 5.6 for details.
o The 16-bit Key-ID field of the Map-Register message has been split
into a 8-bit Key-ID field and a 8-bit Algorithm-ID field.
o
* The nonce and the authentication data Authentication Data in the Map-Register message
have a different behaviour,
each behave differently; see Section 5.6 for details.
o
* This document adds two new Action action values that are in an EID-record EID-Record
that appear appears in Map-Reply, Map-Register, Map-Notify, and Map-
Notify-Ack messages. The Drop/Policy-Denied and Drop/Auth-Failure
are the descriptions for the two These new action values. values are Drop/Policy-
Denied and Drop/Auth-Failure. See Section 5.4 for details.
12. IANA Considerations
This section provides guidance to the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA) IANA regarding registration of
values related to this LISP Control-Plane control plane specification, in
accordance with BCP 26 [RFC8126].
There are three namespaces (listed in the sub-sections below) in LISP
that have been registered.
o
* LISP IANA registry allocations should not be made for purposes
unrelated to LISP routing or transport protocols.
o
* The following policies are used here with the meanings defined in
BCP 26: 26 [RFC8126]: "Specification Required", "IETF Review",
"Experimental Use", and "First Come First Served".
There are three namespaces (listed in the sub-sections below) in LISP
that have been registered (see [RFC9299].

Table 4: LISP Map-Reply Action Values
In addition, LISP has a number of flag fields and reserved fields,
such as the flags of the LISP header flags field [I-D.ietf-lisp-rfc6830bis]. fields [RFC9300]. New bits for
flags in these fields can be implemented after IETF review Review or IESG approval,
Approval, but these need not be managed by IANA.
12.4. LISP Address Type Codes
LISP Canonical Address Format (LCAF) [RFC8060] is has an 8-bit Type
field that defines LISP-specific encodings for AFI value 16387. LCAF
encodings are used for specific use-cases use cases where different address
types for
EID-records EID-Records and RLOC-records RLOC-Records are required.
The IANA registry "LISP Canonical Address Format (LCAF) Types" registry is used for
LCAF types. The registry for LCAF types use uses the Specification
Required policy [RFC8126]. Initial values for the registry as well
as further information can be found in [RFC8060].
Therefore, there is no longer a need for the "LISP Address Type
Codes" registry requested by [RFC6830]. This document requests to
remove it. Per this document, the
registry has been closed.
12.5. LISP Algorithm ID Numbers
In [RFC6830], a request for a "LISP Key ID Numbers" registry was
submitted. This document renames Per this document, IANA has renamed the registry to "LISP
Algorithm ID Numbers" and requests the IANA to make listed this document as the name change. registry

12.6. LISP Bit Flags
This document asks IANA to create a registry for allocation of bits
in several headers of the LISP control plane, namely in the Map-
Request, Map-Reply, Map-Register, Map-Request
messages, Map-Reply messages, Map-Register messages, and Encapsulated
Control Message (ECM)
messages. Messages. Bit allocations are also requested for EID-records EID-Records
and
RLOC-records. RLOC-Records. The registry created should be named "LISP Control
Plane Header Bits". A sub-registry subregistry needs to be created per each
message and EID-record. EID-Record. The name of each sub-registry subregistry is indicated
below, along with its format and allocation of bits defined in this
document. Any additional bits allocation, requires bit allocations require a specification,

[RFC9305] Maino, F., Ed., Lemon, J., Agarwal, P., Lewis, D., and M.
Smith, "Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) Control-Plane".
o The fundamental change was to move the Control-Plane messages from
RFC 6830 to this document in an effort so any IETF developed or
industry created Data-Plane could use the LISP mapping system and
Control-Plane.
o Update Control-Plane messages to incorporate what has been
implemented in products during the early phase of LISP development
but wasn't able to make it into RFC6830 and RFC6833 to make the
Experimental RFC deadline.
o Indicate there may be nodes in the mapping system that are not MRs
or MSs, that is a ALT-node or a DDT-node.
