Gundavelli Cisco D. Damic Siemens June 2012 RADIUS Support for Proxy Mobile IPv6 Abstract This document defines new attributes to facilitate Proxy Mobile IPv6 operations using the RADIUS infrastructure. The protocol defined in this document uses RADIUS-based interfaces of the mobile access gateway and the local mobility anchor with the AAA server for authentication, authorization, and policy functions. The RADIUS interactions between the mobile access gateway and the RADIUS-based AAA server take place when the mobile node (MN) attaches, authenticates, and authorizes to a Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain. Furthermore, this document defines the RADIUS-based interface between the local mobility anchor and the AAA RADIUS server for authorizing received Proxy Binding Update messages for the mobile node's mobility session. In addition to the interactions related to mobility session setup, this document defines the baseline for the mobile access gateway and the local mobility anchor generated accounting.

Standards Track [Page 3] RFC 6572 RADIUS PMIPv6 June 2012 1. Introduction Proxy Mobile IPv6 (PMIPv6) [RFC5213] is a network-based mobility management protocol that allows IP mobility support for a mobile node without requiring the mobile node's participation in any mobility- related signaling. The mobile management elements in the network, the mobile access gateway (MAG) and the local mobility anchor (LMA), are the two key functions in this network-based mobility system. The mobile access gateway is responsible for detecting the mobile node's movements in the network and for initiating the needed mobility management signaling with the local mobility anchor (LMA). Both the mobility management agents make use of the AAA infrastructure to retrieve the mobile node's policy profile and for performing service authorization. This document defines a RADIUS-based [RFC2865] profile and corresponding attributes to be used on the AAA interface between the MAG and the AAA RADIUS server. This interface is used to carry the per-MN policy profile from the remote policy store to the MAG. Furthermore, this document also defines a RADIUS-based interface between the LMA and the AAA RADIUS server for authorization of the received Proxy Mobile IPv6 signaling messages. The AAA procedures defined in this document cover the following two scenarios: o a mobile node connects to the Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain from the home network o a mobile node connects to the Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain from a visited network 2. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. All the mobility-related terms used in this document are to be interpreted as defined in the Proxy Mobile IPv6 specifications [RFC5213] and [RFC5844]. Additionally, this document uses the following abbreviations: Network Access Server (NAS): A function that provides authorization services for a device/user access to the network as defined in [RFC2865]. This document makes an assumption that the NAS function is co-located with the Xia, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] RFC 6572 RADIUS PMIPv6 June 2012 MAG. In scenarios where the NAS function and MAG are decoupled, the messaging interface needed between them for the operation of PMIP6 is beyond the scope of this document. Home AAA (HAAA): An Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server located in the MN's home network. This sever has access to the mobile node's policy profiles. Visited AAA (VAAA): An Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server located in the MN's visited network. The VAAA server takes the role of a proxy-server, forwarding the received AAA service request to the HAAA server in the mobile node's home network and relaying the response to the requesting node, after applying any local access network policies. Local AAA (LAAA): An Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting proxy located in the local network. In a roaming case, the local AAAA has the visited AAA role. 3. Solution Overview This document defines the RADIUS-based AAA interactions with the two mobility management elements in the Proxy Mobile IPv6 domain. o Interactions between a MAG and a RADIUS-based AAA server o Interactions between a LMA and a RADIUS-based AAA server The mobile node's policy profile [RFC5213] is present in a policy store and is needed by the PMIPv6 mobility management elements for authorizing the mobile node for mobility management service and for obtaining various service-related parameters. This policy store could be locally co-located with the mobility management agents enabling direct local access or could be available from a AAA server through a RADIUS-based AAA interface. When a mobile node attaches to an access network, the NAS on that access network may activate the network access authentication procedure. The choice of the authentication mechanism is specific to the access network deployment; however, it is typically based on the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) [RFC3748]. The NAS performs the network access authentication and queries the HAAA using AAA Xia, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] RFC 6572 RADIUS PMIPv6 June 2012 protocol, such as RADIUS. If the network access authentication succeeds, the MN's policy profile is obtained as part of the RADIUS message exchange with the AAA server. The mobile node may be an IPv4-only node, IPv6-only node, or a dual- stack (IPv4/v6) node. Based on the policy specified in the policy profile, the network access authentication procedure SHOULD provide the unambiguous indication of the type of address(es) to be assigned for the MN in the network and with all other service-related and policy parameters relevant to the mobility service. After the successful network access authentication and obtaining the mobile node's policy profile, the MAG sends a Proxy Binding Update (PBU) to the LMA. Upon receiving the PBU, the LMA interacts with the HAAA to obtain the mobile node's policy profile, which is required for authorizing and activating mobility service. This document adds support for three distinct PMIPv6 mobility use cases, taking into account the administrative domains to which the MAG and the LMA belong. The following are the three relevant deployment models. 1. the MAG and LMA are both in the home network, 2. the MAG and LMA are both in the visited network, 3. the MAG is in the visited network while the LMA is in the home network. Figure 1 shows participating network entities for the PMIPv6 mobility session, which is located in the home network. The MAG and LMA interact only with the HAAA. Xia, et al.

The MAG and LMA exchange signaling with the HAAA through the VAAA, which acts as a Proxy. The visited network may append additional information to the HAAA replies in order to reflect the local policy. Xia, et al.

Any message between the MAG and the HAAA passes through the VAAA, which acts as a Proxy. During the network authentication, the visited network's specific policy may also be propagated from the VAAA to the MAG. The LMA has a direct access to the HAAA. Xia, et al.

Attribute Definitions 4.1. MIP6-Feature-Vector Diameter [RFC3588] reserves AVP Code space 1-255 as RADIUS attribute compatibility space. The MIP6-Feature-Vector attribute (Type value 124) defined in [RFC5447] is of type OctetString and contains a 64-bit flags field of supported mobility capabilities. This document reserves two new capability bits according to the rules in [RFC5447], and reuses the PMIPv6 capability bits defined by [RFC5779]. The following capability flag bits are used or defined in this document: PMIP6_SUPPORTED (0x0000010000000000) This capability bit is used as defined in [RFC5779]. IP4_HOA_SUPPORTED (0x0000020000000000) This capability bit is used as defined in [RFC5779]. Assignment of the IPv4-HoA (Home Address) is defined by [RFC5844]. Xia, et al. Standards Track [Page 9] RFC 6572 RADIUS PMIPv6 June 2012 LOCAL_MAG_ROUTING_SUPPORTED (0x0000040000000000) This capability bit is used as defined in [RFC5779]. IP4_TRANSPORT_SUPPORTED (0x0000800000000000) This capability bit is used for negotiation of the IPv4 transport support between the MAG and AAA. When the MAG sets this flag bit in the MIP6-Feature-Vector, it indicates the ability of the MAG to provide IPv4 transport (i.e., IPv4-based encapsulation) for carrying IP traffic between the MAG and the LMA. If this flag bit is unset in the returned MIP6-Feature-Vector attribute, the AAA does not authorize the use of IPv4 transport on the MAG-to-LMA tunnel. IP4_HOA_ONLY_SUPPORTED (0x0001000000000000) This capability bit is used for determination of the authorized PMIPv6 mobility mode. When this bit is set by the AAA, it indicates PMIPv6 mobility with IPv4 support has only been authorized for the MN. As a result, the RADIUS Access-Accept SHOULD NOT carry the IPv6 Home Network Prefix (IPv6 HNP). When this bit is set, the PMIP6_SUPPORTED flag MUST also be set and the IP4_HOA_SUPPORTED flag MUST NOT be set. To summarize the use of the MIP6-Feature-Vector the following capability bit combination settings mean: PMIP6-SUPPORTED bit set - only IPv6 mobility is supported and authorized. PMIP6-SUPPORTED and IP4-ONLY-HOA-SUPPORTED bits set - only IPv4 mobility is supported and authorized. PMIP6-SUPPORTED and IP4-HOA-SUPPORTED bits set - both IPv6 and IPv4 mobility are supported and authorized. The MIP6-Feature-Vector attribute is also used on the LMA to the RADIUS AAA interface. This capability announcement attribute enables direct capability negotiation between the LMA and the AAA. The capabilities that are announced by both parties in the MIP6-Feature- Vector are known to be mutually supported. The LMA may use this mechanism during authorization of the received PBU against the AAA to check individual PMIPv6 feature permissions for a particular MN. If the RADIUS Access-Accept contains a contradicting combination of the capability flag bits such as both the IP4_HOA_ONLY_SUPPORTED and the IP4_HOA_SUPPORTED flags being set, then the RADIUS client MUST Xia, et al. Standards Track [Page 10] RFC 6572 RADIUS PMIPv6 June 2012 treat the Access-Accept as an Access-Reject and SHOULD log the event. Similarly, if the RADIUS Access-Request contains a contradicting combination of the capability flag bits, then the RADIUS server MUST reply with an Access-Reject message and SHOULD log the event. 4.2. Mobile-Node-Identifier The Mobile-Node-Identifier attribute (Type value 145) is of type String and contains the mobile node identifier (MN-Identifier), see [RFC5213], in a form of a Network Access Identifier (NAI) [RFC4282]. This identifier and the identifier used for access authentication may be different; however, there needs to be a mapping between the two identities as specified in Section 6.6 of [RFC5213]. This attribute is used on the interface between the MAG and the AAA server. The Mobile-Node-Identifier attribute is designed for deployments where the identity used during network access authentication and the identity used for mobility management is decoupled. It may also be the case where the MAG does not have means to find out the MN identity that could be used in subsequent PBU and Proxy Binding Acknowledgement (PBA) exchanges (e.g., due to identity hiding during the network access authentication) or when the HAAA wants to assign periodically changing identities to the MN. The Mobile-Node-Identifier attribute MAY be returned by the HAAA in the RADIUS Access-Accept message that completes a successful authentication and authorization exchange between the MAG and the HAAA. The MAG MUST use the received MN-Identifier. 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type | Length | Mobile Node Identifier... ~ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Type: Mobile-Node-Identifier 145. Length: In octets, including Type and Length fields (>= 3). Mobile Node Identifier: This field is of type String and contains the MN-Identifier of the MN to be used in the PBU/PBA exchange. Xia, et al. Standards Track [Page 11] RFC 6572 RADIUS PMIPv6 June 2012 4.3. Service-Selection The Service-Selection attribute (Type value 146) is of type UTF-8 text and contains the name of the service or the external network with which the mobility service for the particular MN SHOULD be associated [RFC5149]. The identifier MUST be unique within the PMIPv6 Domain when normalized using the selected normalization form [UNF] for the particular PMIPv6 Domain deployment. For instance, [RFC5149] uses the Normalization Form KC (NFKC). The MAG MUST include the Service-Selection attribute in the Access- Request sent to the AAA if the information was acquired, e.g., by operator-specific configuration. The AAA MAY include the Service- Selection attribute in the Access-Accept response message to the MAG even if it was not included in the Access-Request as a means of indicating the MN's default service. The Service Selection mobility option defined in [RFC5149] can be used in PBU/PBA messages between the MAG and LMA. On the LMA-to-AAA interface, the LMA MAY populate the Service-Selection attribute in the Access-Request message using the service information found in the received PBU, if such a mobility option were included. The Service- Selection identifier should be used to assist the PBU authorization, the assignment of the MN-HNP, and the IPv4-MN-HoA as described in [RFC5149] and [RFC5779]. 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type | Length | Service Identifier... ~ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Type: Service-Selection 146. Length: In octets, including Type and Length fields (>= 3). Text: This field is of type UTF-8 text and contains the Service Identifier with which the MN is associated. 4.4. PMIP6-Home-LMA-IPv6-Address The PMIP6-Home-LMA-IPv6-Address attribute (Type value 147) is of type IPv6 address and is used to deliver the IPv6 address of the LMA located in the home network. Xia, et al. Standards Track [Page 12] RFC 6572 RADIUS PMIPv6 June 2012 Before the MAG can initiate Proxy Mobile IPv6 signaling, it must be aware of the LMA's IP address. When the LMA is assigned to the MN from the home network, this attribute MAY be sent by the HAAA to the MAG in the RADIUS Access- Accept message. 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type | Length | Home LMA IPv6 address +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Home LMA IPv6 address +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Home LMA IPv6 address +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Home LMA IPv6 address +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Home LMA IPv6 address | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Type: PMIP6-Home-LMA-IPv6-Address 147. Length: = 18 octets Home LMA IPv6 address: 128-bit IPv6 address of the assigned home LMA IPv6 address. 4.5. PMIP6-Visited-LMA-IPv6-Address The PMIP6-Visited-LMA-IPv6-Address attribute (Type value 148) is of type IPv6 address and is used to propose a particular LMA in the visited network and to authorize the use of the LMA in the visited/ local network. PMIP6-Visited-LMA-IPv6-Address attribute MAY be included by the MAG in the RADIUS Access-Request message. The LMA in the visited/local network may be assigned by the [VL]AAA as the result of retrieved policy profile. If included by the [VL]AAA in the RADIUS Access- Accept sent to the MAG, the use of the LMA in the visited/local network is authorized and the attribute SHALL carry the IPv6 address of the LMA assigned for the particular MN. See Section 4.2.5 of [RFC5447] how the MIP6-Feature-Vector attribute and LOCAL_HOME_AGENT_ASSIGNMENT capability flag is used with the LMA (Home Agent) assignment. Xia, et al.

PMIP6-Home-LMA-IPv4-Address The PMIP6-Home-LMA-IPv4-Address attribute (Type value 149) is of type IPv4 address and contains the IPv4 address of the LMA assigned by the HAAA. The [RFC5844] supports Proxy Mobile IPv6 signaling exchange between MAG and LMA using the IPv4 transport. When the LMA is located in the home network, this attribute MAY be sent by the HAAA to the MAG in the RADIUS Access-Accept message. 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type | Length | Home LMA IPv4 address +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Home LMA IPv4 address | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Type: PMIP6-Home-LMA-IPv4-Address 149.

PMIP6-Visited-LMA-IPv4-Address The PMIP6-Visited-LMA-IPv4-Address attribute (Type value 150) is of type IPv4 address and is used to propose a particular LMA in the visited network and to authorize the use of the LMA in the visited network. PMIP6-Visited-LMA-IPv4-Address attribute MAY be included by the MAG in the RADIUS Access-Request message. The LMA in the visited/local network may be assigned by the [VL]AAA as the result of retrieved policy profile. If included by the [VL]AAA in the RADIUS Access- Accept sent to the MAG, the use of the LMA in the visited/local network is authorized and the attribute SHALL carry the IPv4 address of the LMA assigned for the particular MN. See Section 4.2.5 of [RFC5447] how the MIP6-Feature-Vector attribute and LOCAL_HOME_AGENT_ASSIGNMENT capability flag is used with the LMA (Home Agent) assignment. 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type | Length | Visited LMA IPv4 address +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Visited LMA IPv4 address | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Type: PMIP6-Visited-LMA-IPv4-Address 150. Length: = 6 octets IPv4 LMA address: 32-bit IPv4 address of the assigned LMA. 4.8. PMIP6-Home-HN-Prefix The PMIP6-Home-HN-Prefix attribute (Type value 151) is of type IPv6 prefix. It contains the Mobile Node - Home Network Prefix (MN-HNP), which is the IPv6 prefix assigned to the link between the MN and the MAG. The MN configures its IP interface from its home network prefix(es). When the LMA is located in the home network, the PMIP6- Home-HN-Prefix attribute is used to deliver the MN-HNP from the HAAA to the MAG. Xia, et al. Standards Track [Page 15] RFC 6572 RADIUS PMIPv6 June 2012 The PMIP6-Home-HN-Prefix attribute is also used on the LMA-to-HAAA interface containing the prefix assigned to the MN. If the LMA delegates the MN-HNP assignment to the HAAA, the attribute MUST contain all zeroes in the address of (i.e., '::') the Access-Request message. The attribute MUST be present in the RADIUS Access-Accept message if the prior request already included one and SHOULD carry the MN-HNP the HAAA assigned to the MN. 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type | Length | Reserved | Prefix-Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Home MN-HNP +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Home MN-HNP +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Home MN-HNP +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Home MN-HNP | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Type: PMIP6-Home-HN-Prefix 151. Length: = at least 4 and no larger than 20. Reserved: Reserved for future use. The bits MUST be set to zero by the sender and MUST be ignored by the receiver. Prefix-Length: The 8-bit unsigned integer indicating the prefix length of the home network prefix (at least 0 and no larger than 128). If the home network prefix contains an address of all zeroes (i.e., '::'), then the Prefix-Length MUST be set to 128. Home Network Prefix: The home network prefix for the MN's IPv6 address configuration. The Prefix field is up to 16 octets in length. Bits outside of the Prefix-Length, if included, must be zero. 4.9. PMIP6-Visited-HN-Prefix The PMIP6-Visited-HN-Prefix attribute (Type value 152) is of type IPv6 prefix. It contains the Mobile Node - Home Network Prefix (MN- HNP), which is the IPv6 prefix assigned to the link between the MN Xia, et al. Standards Track [Page 16] RFC 6572 RADIUS PMIPv6 June 2012 and the MAG. The MN configures its IP interface from its home network prefix(es). When the LMA is located in the visited network, the PMIP6-Visited-HN-Prefix attribute is used to deliver the MN-HNP from the VAAA to the MAG. The PMIP6-Visited-HN-Prefix attribute is also used on the LMA-to-VAAA interface containing the IPv6 prefix assigned to the MN. If the LMA delegates the assignment of the MN-HNP to the VAAA, the attribute MUST contain an address of all zeroes (i.e., '::') in the RADIUS Access-Request message. The attribute MUST be present in Access- Accept message if the prior request already included one and SHOULD carry the MN-HNP the VAAA assigned to the MN. The attribute SHOULD NOT be included if the use of LMA in the home network is authorized (the PMIP6-Home-HN-Prefix and/or PMIP6-Home- LMA-IPv6-Address attributes are already present).

Standards Track [Page 17] RFC 6572 RADIUS PMIPv6 June 2012 Visited Home Network Prefix: The home network prefix for the MN's IPv6 address configuration. The Prefix field is up to 16 octets in length. Bits outside of the Prefix-Length, if included, must be zero. 4.10. PMIP6-Home-Interface-ID The PMIP6-Home-Interface-ID attribute (Type value 153) is of type String and contains the MN's interface identifier. The selection of the interface identifier SHOULD NOT allow the tracking of individual MNs or users between PMIPv6 mobility sessions for privacy reasons. This attribute is applicable in network systems and link technologies, where the network explicitly delivers an interface identifier to the MN during the link setup.

PMIP6-Home-IPv4-HoA [RFC5844] specifies extensions to Proxy Mobile IPv6 protocol that enable IPv4 home address mobility support to the MN. The PMIP6-Home- IPv4-HoA attribute (Type value 155) is of type Address and contains the IPv4 Home Address of the MN. The primary use of this attribute is to deliver the assigned IPv4-HoA from HAAA to the MAG. The PMIP6-Home-IPv4-HoA is also used on the LMA-to-HAAA interface. If the LMA in the home network delegates the assignment of the IPv4-HoA to the HAAA, the attribute MUST contain an address of all zeroes (i.e., 0.0.0.0) in the Access-Request message. The attribute MUST be included in by HAAA in the Access-Accept message if the previous request included it, and it contains the IPv4-HoA assigned to the MN. Xia, et al.

Home IPv4 HoA: This field is of type Address and contains the IPv4 home address of the MN in the home network. 4.13. PMIP6-Visited-IPv4-HoA When both the MAG and the LMA are in the visited network, the PMIP6- Visited-IPv4-HoA attribute (Type value 156) is of type Address and is used to exchange information between the VAAA and the MAG on the assignment of the IPv4 Home Address to the MN being present in the visited network. The PMIP6-Visited-IPv4-HoA is also used on the LMA-to-VAAA interface. If the LMA delegates the assignment of the IPv4-HoA to the VAAA, the attribute MUST contain an address of all zeroes (i.e., 0.0.0.0) in the RADIUS Access-Request message. The Access-Accept message MUST have the attribute present if the prior request to the VAAA already included one. The attribute SHOULD NOT be included if the use of the LMA in the home network is authorized (the PMIP6-Home-IPv4-HoA and/or PMIP6- Home-LMA-IPv4-Address attributes are already present). However, if the VAAA local policy allows both home and visited LMA addresses to be delivered to the MAG, then this attribute MAY also be included. Xia, et al.

Chargeable-User-Identity The Chargeable-User-Identity attribute, or CUI, (Type value 89) is a unique, temporary handle used as means to, for example, correlate authentication, accounting, and bill post-processing for a particular chargeable subscriber. The CUI format and use follows guidelines defined by [RFC4372]. In the scope of this document, the CUI attribute MAY be present in the Access-Request. The CUI MAY also be present in the Access- Accept. The CUI MUST be present in the Access-Accept if it was present in the Access-Request. If the use of the Chargeable-User- Identity attribute is supported, then the MAG and/or the LMA commits to include the Chargeable-User-Identity attribute in all subsequent RADIUS Accounting packets they send for the given user.

Interface Operations The MAG to the AAA RADIUS server interface is used for retrieval of the policy profile when an MN tries to attach, authenticate, and authorize to a PMIPv6 domain. Depending on the policies and network capabilities, the MAG may retrieve different sets of PMIPv6-session- related parameters: o Configuration attributes for home or visited network access scenario, depending on the location and attachment point of the MN, o The IPv6 or IPv4 address of the designated LMA, depending on the access network's actual IP topology, o The IPv6 or IPv4 configuration parameters for the MN, depending on the utilized IP configuration method and individual MN's service Policy, o The DHCP Relay support attributes (IPv4 or IPv6) in case such functionality is supported in the network. In addition to PMIPv6-specific attributes, other RADIUS attributes are to be used on the MAG-to-AAA interface. Xia, et al. Standards Track [Page 26] RFC 6572 RADIUS PMIPv6 June 2012 The User-Name attribute MUST be present in the Access-Request. It MUST carry a correctly formed identifier that SHOULD correspond to an MN identity unless the identity is being suppressed for policy reasons, for example, when identity hiding is in effect. The MN identity, if available, MUST be in Network Access Identifier (NAI) [RFC4282] format. At minimum, the home realm of the MN MUST be available at the MAG when the network access authentication takes place. Otherwise, the MAG is not able to route RADIUS request messages towards the correct HAAA. The MN identity used on the MAG- to-HAAA interface and in the User-Name attribute MAY entirely be related to the network access authentication and, therefore, not be suitable to be used as the MN-Identifier mobility option value in the subsequent PBU/PBA messages. In this case, the HAAA MUST provide the MN-Identifier for PBU/PBA messages using the Mobile-Node-Identifier attribute (see Section 4.2). At least one of the NAS-IP-Address, NAS-IPv6-Address, or NAS-Identifier attributes MUST be present in the Access-Request. The Service-Type attribute SHOULD be set to value 1 (Login) and the NAS- Port-Type attribute SHOULD be present in the Access-Request. 5.2. Table of Attributes The following table provides a guide to attributes that may be found in authentication and authorization RADIUS messages between the MAG and the AAA server. Xia, et al.

LMA to RADIUS AAA Interface 6.1. Interface Operations The LMA-to-HAAA interface may be used for multiple purposes. These include the authorization of the incoming PBU, updating the LMA address to the HAAA, delegating the assignment of the MN-HNP or the IPv4-HoA to the HAAA, and accounting and PMIPv6 session management. The primary purpose of this interface is to update the HAAA with the Xia, et al. Standards Track [Page 28] RFC 6572 RADIUS PMIPv6 June 2012 LMA address information in case of dynamically assigned LMA and to exchange the MN address assignment information between the LMA and the HAAA. Whenever the LMA sends an Access-Request message to the HAAA, the User-Name attribute SHOULD contain the MN's identity. The LMA- provided identity in the User-Name attribute is strongly RECOMMENDED to be the same as the MN's identity information in the PBU MN- Identifier mobility option. The identity SHOULD also be the same as used on the MAG-to-HAAA interface; however, in case those identities differ, the HAAA MUST have a mechanism of mapping the MN identity used on the MAG-to-HAAA interface to the identity used on the LMA-to- HAAA interface. If the PBU contains the MN Link-Layer Identifier option, the Calling- Station-Id attribute SHOULD be included in the request message containing the received MN Link-Layer Identifier option. Furthermore, if the PBU contains the Service Selection mobility option [RFC5149], the Service-Selection attribute SHOULD be included in the request message containing the received service identifier. Both the MN Link-Layer Identifier option and the service selection can be used to provide more information for the PBU authorization step in the HAAA. The Service-Type attribute MUST be set to the value 17 (Authorize Only). If the HAAA is not able to authorize the subscriber's mobility service session, then the Access-Reject message to the LMA MAY contain the Reply-Message attribute describing the reason for rejecting the authorization. A failed authorization obviously results in a rejection of the PBU, and a PBA with an appropriate error Status Value MUST be sent back to the MAG. The authorization step MUST be performed at least for the initial PBU session up to a mobility session, when the LMA-to-HAAA interface is deployed. For the subsequent re-registration and handover of PBUs, the authorization step MAY be repeated (in this case, the LMA-to-HAAA interface should also maintain an authorization session state). In case of a dynamic LMA discovery and assignment [RFC6097], the HAAA and the remote policy store may need to be updated with the selected LMA address information. The update can be done during the PBU authorization step using the LMA-to-HAAA interface. This specification uses the PMIP6-*-LMA-*-Address attribute for carrying the LMA's address information from the LMA to the HAAA. The LMA address information in the request message MUST contain the IP address of the LMA, the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) uniquely Xia, et al. Standards Track [Page 29] RFC 6572 RADIUS PMIPv6 June 2012 identifying the LMA, or both. The LMA address information refers to the PMIPv6 part of the LMA, not necessarily the LMA part interfacing with the AAA infrastructure. The LMA and the HAAA use the PMIP6-Home-HN-Prefix/ PMIP6-Visited-HN-Prefix attributes to exchange the MN-HNP when appropriate. Similarly, the LMA and the HAAA use the PMIP6-Home- IPv4-HoA/PMIP6-Visited-IPv4-HoA attributes to exchange the IPv4-MN- HoA when appropriate. The MN address information exchange is again done during the PBU authorization step. The HAAA MAY also use the LMA-provided MN address information as a part of the information used to authorize the PBU. Which entity is actually responsible for the address management is deployment specific within the PMIPv6 Domain and MUST be pre-agreed on per deployment basis. When the LMA is responsible for the address management, the PMIP6-*-HN-Prefix/PMIP6-*-IPv4-HoA attributes are used to inform the HAAA and the remote policy store of the MN-HNP/ IPv4-MN-HoA assigned to the MN. It is also possible that the LMA delegates the address management to the HAAA. In this case, the MN-HNP/IPv4-MN-HoA are set to undefined addresses in the Access- Request message sent from the LMA to the HAAA. The LMA expects to receive the HAAA assigned HNP/IPv4-MN-HoA in the corresponding Access-Accept message. 6.2. Table of Attributes The following table provides a guide to which attributes may be found in authorization process between LMA and the AAA. Xia, et al.

Accounting Radius-based interfaces at the MAG and LMA with the AAA server enables the metering of traffic associated with the MN, commonly called "accounting". If accounting is turned on in the mobile node's policy profile, the local routing SHOULD NOT be enabled [RFC5213]. 7.1. Accounting at LMA The accounting at the LMA to AAA server interface is based on [RFC2865] and [RFC2866]. This interface MUST support the transfer of accounting records needed for service control and charging. These records should include (but may not be limited to) the following: time of binding cache entry creation and deletion, number of the octets sent and received by the MN over the bi-directional tunnel, etc. Xia, et al. Standards Track [Page 31] RFC 6572 RADIUS PMIPv6 June 2012 7.2. Accounting at MAG The accounting at the MAG to AAA server interface is based on [RFC2865] and [RFC2866]. The interface MUST also support the transfer of accounting records that should include the following: time of binding cache entry creation and deletion, number of the octets sent and received by the MN over the bi-directional tunnel, etc. If there is data traffic between a visiting MN and a correspondent node that is locally attached to an access link connected to the same MAG, the mobile access gateway MAY optimize on the delivery efforts by locally routing the packets instead of using reverse tunneling to the mobile node's LMA. In this case, the local data traffic too MUST be reported to AAA Accounting servers by means of RADIUS protocol. 7.3. Table of Attributes The following table provides a list of attributes that may be included in the RADIUS Accounting messages. These attributes are to complement the set of accounting attributes already required by [RFC2866] and [RFC2869]. Accounting Request # Attribute 0-1 145 Mobile-Node-Identifier 0-1 146 Service-Selection 0-1 147 PMIP6-Home-LMA-IPv6-Address 0-1 148 PMIP6-Visited-LMA-IPv6-Address 0-1 149 PMIP6-Home-LMA-IPv4-Address 0-1 150 PMIP6-Visited-LMA-IPv4-Address 0+ 151 PMIP6-Home-HN-Prefix 0+ 152 PMIP6-Visited-HN-Prefix 0-1 155 PMIP6-Home-IPv4-HoA 0-1 156 PMIP6-Visited-IPv4-HoA 0-1 31 Calling-Station-Id 0-1 80 Message-Authenticator 0-1 89 Chargeable-User-Identity 0-1 124 MIP6-Feature-Vector 8. Security Considerations The RADIUS messages may be transported between the MAG and/or the LMA to the RADIUS server via one or more AAA brokers or RADIUS proxies. In this case, the communication between the LMA and the RADIUS AAA server relies on the security properties of the intermediate AAA brokers and RADIUS proxies. Xia, et al. Standards Track [Page 32] RFC 6572 RADIUS PMIPv6 June 2012 Regarding the privacy threats associated with sending MN-specific information between the MAG and AAA server and between the LMA and AAA server, considerations of the RADIUS Base protocol [RFC2865], RADIUS Accounting [RFC2866], and the RADIUS EAP application [RFC3579] are applicable to this document. The MAG, LMA, and AAA server SHOULD avoid including attributes containing personally identifying information such as a MN's Interface ID, link-layer address, or NAI, except as needed and SHOULD pay special attention if identity hiding is desired. 9. IANA Consideration 9.1. Attribute Type Codes This specification defines the following new RADIUS attribute type values: Mobile-Node-Identifier 145 Service-Selection 146 PMIP6-Home-LMA-IPv6-Address 147 PMIP6-Visited-LMA-IPv6-Address 148 PMIP6-Home-LMA-IPv4-Address 149 PMIP6-Visited-LMA-IPv4-Address 150 PMIP6-Home-HN-Prefix 151 PMIP6-Visited-HN-Prefix 152 PMIP6-Home-Interface-ID 153 PMIP6-Visited-Interface-ID 154 PMIP6-Home-IPv4-HoA 155 PMIP6-Visited-IPv4-HoA 156 PMIP6-Home-DHCP4-Server-Address 157 PMIP6-Visited-DHCP4-Server-Address 158 PMIP6-Home-DHCP6-Server-Address 159 PMIP6-Visited-DHCP6-Server-Address 160 PMIP6-Home-IPv4-Gateway 161 PMIP6-Visited-IPv4-Gateway 162 9.2. Namespaces This specification defines new values to the Mobility Capability registry (see [RFC5447]) for use with the MIP6-Feature-Vector AVP: Token | Value ----------------------------------+-------------------- IP4_TRANSPORT_SUPPORTED | 0x0000800000000000 IP4_HOA_ONLY_SUPPORTED | 0x0001000000000000 Xia, et al.
