Hi,

It sounds reasonable.

The proposed WG works for the SAVNET specific architecture and solutions and
the work related to the existed protocols should be done in the
corresponding WGs.

 

The comment for the charter text as follows:

OLD:

4) Solutions to implementing SAVNET architecture by defining extensions of
existing routing protocols. These will be done in coordination with the WGs
supervising those protocols.

 

NEW:

4) Solutions to implementing SAVNET architecture by defining extensions of
existing routing protocols. For those, the SAVNET WG will coordinate and
collaborate with other WGs as needed. 

Specific expected interactions include (but may not be limited to):

* lsr on OSPF and IS-IS extensions

* idr for BGP extensions

…

 

B.R.

SAVNET WG charter

 

Hi Robin,

 

Thanks for putting the texts of the WG charter in this email thread, which
will help new people who read this email.

 

1) For inter-domain network. Yes we plan to extend BGP protocol by a new
SAFI. We talked with some other people, such as Igor Lubashev from Akami and
Keyur Patel from Arrcus, and they share the same idea. I think the
high-level architecture design will be done in the SAVNET WG, but the
specific protocol extension will go to IDR WG.

 

2) For intra-domain network. I think we will use the same way as for
inter-domain network. The high-level architecture design will be done in the
SAVNET WG. Specifical protocol extension to OSPFv2, OSPFv3, IS-IS, BGP SPF,
RIFT will go to the corresponding WGs.

 

3) For wide coverage of different scenarios, I guess we need to extend all
the existing routing protocols as mentioned above. Hence, we need an
independent WG for the SAVNET usecase/requirements/architecture/management
design, while also need to well cooperate with the other corresponding WGs.

 

Best,

Dan

SAVNET WG charter

 

Hi Dan and all,

In order for convenience, I directly put the text of the charter in the
mail.

 

I understand the importance of reusing existing routing protocols for SAV
which is described in the charter. But I truly have doubt about it. The
following is some thinking:

1. SAV in inter-domain networks: because BGP is the only existing routing
protocol for inter-domain networks, does it mean BGP is determined for SAV
in inter-domain networks? Because the information distributed for SAV is
different from the existing information distributed by BGP, is it
appropriate to take use of BGP for SAV? If it is necessary to evaluate it,
where is the work to be done, in the SAVNET WG or in the IDR WG?

2. SAV in intra-domain networks: 1) The first issue is the similar as BGP.
Are the existing IGPs appropriate for SAV in intra-domain networks? How to
evaluate and where to evaluate? 2) There are multiple types of IGPs, ISIS,
OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. If IGP can be used for the SAV, do we extend all these
IGPs or only choose one? 3) There is also RIFT and BGP SPF as IGPs. Will
RIFT WG and LSVR WG also be involved besides LSR WG?

3. For both SAV in inter-domain networks and in intra-domain network, how
many existing routing protocols should be extended?  BGP + One or more IGPs?
BGP for both inter-domain and intra-domain since BGP-SPF can also be used
for intra-domain? 

 

 

Best Regards,

Robin

 

 

 

Charter for SAVNET Working Group:

Source address validation (SAV) is important to mitigate source address
spoofing attacks. To improve the effectiveness, SAV mechanisms should be
applied as close to the source as possible. Therefore, it is desired to
deploy SAV in both intra-domain and inter-domain networks. However, existing
SAV mechanisms like uRPF-related technologies may improperly permit spoofed
traffic or improperly block legitimate traffic. 

 

The “Source Address Validation in Intra-domain and Inter-domain Networks
(SAVNET)” working group will define a protocol-independent architecture and
procedures to overcome the limitations of existing SAV mechanisms.

 

Specifically, the SAVNET WG will define procedures that allow nodes to
accurately determine valid incoming ports for specific source prefixes
taking into account information not currently included in routing protocols.

 

The scope of the SAVNET WG includes the SAV function in both intra-domain
and inter-domain networks, and the validation of both IPv4 and IPv6
addresses. The WG is expected to address intra-domain solutions first.
SAVNET should avoid packet modification in the data plane. Where possible,
existing control and management plane protocols must be used within existing
architectures to implement the SAV function. Any modification of or
extension to existing architectures, or control or management plane
protocols, must be done in coordination with the working groups responsible
for the architecture, or control or management plane protocol.

 

The SAVNET WG is chartered for the following list of items: 

   1) Description of problem statement and use cases for SAVNET, including
the requirements that need to be taken into account by the SAVNET
architecture.

   2) Definition of SAVNET architecture and new procedures. This includes
both intra-domain and inter-domain networks.

   3) Definition of operation and management mechanisms needed to operate
and manage SAV-related configurations.

4) Solutions to implementing SAVNET architecture by defining extensions of
existing routing protocols. These will be done in coordination with the WGs
supervising those protocols. 

 

The SAVNET WG will coordinate and collaborate with other WGs as needed.
Specific expected interactions include (but may not be limited to): lsr and
idr.

Thank Robin for the remind. I am sending this email to colleagues in the
RTGWG to introduce the SAVNET work.

 

In IETF 113, we held the SAVNET BOF in the INT Area , with a focus on
intra-domain and inter-domain source address validation (SAV) technologies.
The basic motivation is to overcome the problem of improper block or
improper permit in uRPF-based SAV mechanisms. A control-plane solution was
presented in the BoF. The basic idea is: 1) each node notifies its attached
source prefixes along the real forwarding path, and the routers along the
path accordingly build the correct SAV table; 2) the notification messages
are processed in the control-plane via a hop-by-hop manner, and various
methods are used to reduce the message overhead; 3) following the routing
architecture, the notification is divided into an intra-domain part and an
inter-domain part. Given that this solution is highly related to routing
architecture, after the BoF it was suggested to apply for a WG in the
Routing Area.

 

More materials of the BOF can be found from
https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/113/materials/agenda-113-savnet-01.
Enclosed please find the drafted WG charter, which will be improved based on
the feedback we get from the community.

 

I also hope that RTGWG colleagues who have interest in this topic can join
the SAVNET mailing list (https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/savnet),
which will be the main channel for future discussions.

 

Best,

Dan

Hi Dan,

Since the BOF was held in the INT area, maybe not all of the experts from
the RTG area register the mailing list of SAVNET and they are not aware of
the work. 

I suggest you could forward it to the mailing list of RTGWG and briefly
introduce the design concept and progress of the SAVNET work.

 

 

Best Regards,

Zhenbin (Robin)

Dear colleagues,

 

One month has passed since the SAVNET BOF in IETF 113. In the IESG/IAB
meeting, it was concluded that the problem is well-defined and was suggested
that SAVNET be moved to the Routing Area.

 

After discussing with the ADs in the Routing Area, we decide to apply for
forming a WG with a relatively narrower scope. Specifically, the potential
WG will focus on intra-domain and inter-domain SAV mechanisms by extending
existing routing protocols.

 

Enclosed please find the drafted WG charter. We would like to get the
feedback from our community.

 

Best,

Dan
