Section 9 contains a detailed +# discussion on the security implications of this requirement. +# +# If the inbound SYN packet is filtered, either because a corresponding +# mapping does not exist or because of the NAT's filtering behavior, a +# NAT has two basic choices: to ignore the packet silently, or to +# signal an error to the sender. Signaling an error through ICMP +# messages allows the sender to quickly detect that the SYN did not +# reach the intended destination. Silently dropping the packet, on the +# other hand, allows applications to perform simultaneous-open more +# reliably. +# +# Silently dropping the SYN aids simultaneous-open as follows. +# Consider that the application is attempting a simultaneous-open and +# the outbound SYN from the internal endpoint has not yet crossed the +# NAT (due to network congestion or clock skew between the two +# endpoints); this outbound SYN would otherwise have created the +# necessary mapping at the NAT to allow translation of the inbound SYN. +# Since the outbound SYN did not reach the NAT in time, the inbound SYN +# cannot be processed. If a NAT responds to the premature inbound SYN +# with an error message that forces the external endpoint to abandon +# the connection attempt, it hinders applications performing a TCP +# simultaneous-open. If instead the NAT silently ignores the inbound +# SYN, the external endpoint retransmits the SYN after a TCP timeout. +# In the meantime, the NAT creates the mapping in response to the +# (delayed) outbound SYN such that the retransmitted inbound SYN can be +# routed and simultaneous-open can succeed. The downside to this +# behavior is that in the event the inbound SYN is erroneous, the +# remote side does not learn of the error until after several TCP +# timeouts. +# +# NAT support for simultaneous-open as well as quickly signaling errors +# are both important for applications. Unfortunately, there is no way +# for a NAT to signal an error without forcing the endpoint to abort a +# potential simultaneous-open: TCP RST and ICMP Port Unreachable +# packets require the endpoint to abort the attempt while the ICMP Host +# and Network Unreachable errors may adversely affect other connections +# to the same host or network [RFC1122]. +# +# In addition, when an unsolicited SYN is received by the NAT, the NAT +# may not know whether the application is attempting a simultaneous- +# open (and that it should therefore silently drop the SYN) or whether +# the SYN is in error (and that it should notify the sender). +# +# REQ-4: A NAT MUST NOT respond to an unsolicited inbound SYN packet +# for at least 6 seconds after the packet is received. If during +# this interval the NAT receives and translates an outbound SYN for +# the connection the NAT MUST silently drop the original unsolicited +# inbound SYN packet.

To prevent such an attack, a NAT needs to abandon +# sessions in order to free the state resources. +# +# A common method that is applicable only to TCP is to preferentially +# abandon sessions for crashed endpoints, followed by closed TCP +# connections and partially open connections. A NAT can check if an +# endpoint for a session has crashed by sending a TCP keep-alive packet +# and receiving a TCP RST packet in response. If the NAT cannot +# determine whether the endpoint is active, it should not abandon the +# session until the TCP connection has been idle for some time. Note +# that an established TCP connection can stay idle (but live) +# indefinitely; hence, there is no fixed value for an idle-timeout that +# accommodates all applications. However, a large idle-timeout +# motivated by recommendations in [RFC1122] can reduce the chances of +# abandoning a live session. +# +# A TCP connection passes through three phases: partially open, +# established, and closing. During the partially open phase, endpoints +# synchronize initial sequence numbers. The phase is initiated by the +# first SYN for the connection and extends until both endpoints have +# sent a packet with the ACK flag set (TCP states: SYN_SENT and +# SYN_RCVD). ACKs in both directions mark the beginning of the +# established phase where application data can be exchanged +# indefinitely (TCP states: ESTABLISHED, FIN_WAIT_1, FIN_WAIT_2, and +# CLOSE_WAIT). The closing phase begins when both endpoints have +# terminated their half of the connection by sending a FIN packet. +# Once FIN packets are seen in both directions, application data can no +# longer be exchanged, but the stacks still need to ensure that the FIN +# packets are received (TCP states: CLOSING and LAST_ACK). +# +# TCP connections can stay in established phase indefinitely without +# exchanging any packets. Some end-hosts can be configured to send +# keep-alive packets on such idle connections; by default, such keep- +# alive packets are sent every 2 hours if enabled [RFC1122]. +# Consequently, a NAT that waits for slightly over 2 hours can detect +# idle connections with keep-alive packets being sent at the default +# rate. TCP connections in the partially open or closing phases, on +# the other hand, can stay idle for at most 4 minutes while waiting for +# in-flight packets to be delivered [RFC1122]. +# +# The "established connection idle-timeout" for a NAT is defined as the +# minimum time a TCP connection in the established phase must remain +# idle before the NAT considers the associated session a candidate for +# removal. The "transitory connection idle-timeout" for a NAT is +# defined as the minimum time a TCP connection in the partially open or +# closing phases must remain idle before the NAT considers the +# associated session a candidate for removal. TCP connections in the +# TIME_WAIT state are not affected by the "transitory connection idle- +# timeout". +# +# REQ-5: If a NAT cannot determine whether the endpoints of a TCP +# connection are active, it MAY abandon the session if it has been +# idle for some time.

Applicability Statement + + The purpose of this specification is to define a set of requirements + for NATs that would allow many applications, such as multimedia + communications or online gaming, to work consistently. Developing + NATs that meet this set of requirements will greatly increase the + likelihood that these applications will function properly. + + The requirements of this specification apply to Traditional NATs as + described in [RFC2663]. + + This document is meant to cover NATs of any size, from small + residential NATs to large Enterprise NATs. However, it should be + understood that Enterprise NATs normally provide much more than just + NAT capabilities; for example, they typically provide firewall + functionalities. A comprehensive description of firewall behaviors + and associated requirements is specifically out-of-scope for this + specification. However, this specification does cover basic firewall + aspects present in NATs (see Section 5). + + Approaches using directly signaled control of middle boxes are out of + scope. + + UDP Relays (e.g., Traversal Using Relay NAT [TURN]) are out of scope. + + Application aspects are out of scope, as the focus here is strictly + on the NAT itself. + + This document only covers aspects of NAT traversal related to Unicast + UDP [RFC0768] over IP [RFC0791] and their dependencies on other + protocols. + +2. Introduction + + Network Address Translators (NATs) are well known to cause very + significant problems with applications that carry IP addresses in the + payload (see [RFC3027]). Applications that suffer from this problem + include Voice Over IP and Multimedia Over IP (e.g., SIP [RFC3261] and + H.323 [ITU.H323]), as well as online gaming. + + Many techniques are used to attempt to make realtime multimedia + applications, online games, and other applications work across NATs. + Application Level Gateways [RFC2663] are one such mechanism. STUN + [RFC3489bis] describes a UNilateral Self-Address Fixing (UNSAF) + mechanism [RFC3424]. Teredo [RFC4380] describes an UNSAF mechanism + consisting of tunnelling IPv6 [RFC2460] over UDP/IPv4. UDP Relays + have also been used to enable applications across NATs, but these are + generally seen as a solution of last resort. Interactive + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 3] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + + Connectivity Establishment [ICE] describes a methodology for using + many of these techniques and avoiding a UDP relay, unless the type of + NAT is such that it forces the use of such a UDP relay. This + specification defines requirements for improving NATs. Meeting these + requirements ensures that applications will not be forced to use UDP + relay. + + As pointed out in UNSAF [RFC3424], "From observations of deployed + networks, it is clear that different NAT box implementations vary + widely in terms of how they handle different traffic and addressing + cases". This wide degree of variability is one factor in the overall + brittleness introduced by NATs and makes it extremely difficult to + predict how any given protocol will behave on a network traversing + NAT. Discussions with many of the major NAT vendors have made it + clear that they would prefer to deploy NATs that were deterministic + and caused the least harm to applications while still meeting the + requirements that caused their customers to deploy NATs in the first + place. The problem NAT vendors face is that they are not sure how + best to do that or how to document their NATs' behavior. + + The goals of this document are to define a set of common terminology + for describing the behavior of NATs and to produce a set of + requirements on a specific set of behaviors for NATs. + + This document forms a common set of requirements that are simple and + useful for voice, video, and games, which can be implemented by NAT + vendors. This document will simplify the analysis of protocols for + deciding whether or not they work in this environment and will allow + providers of services that have NAT traversal issues to make + statements about where their applications will work and where they + will not, as well as to specify their own NAT requirements. + +3. 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]. + + Readers are urged to refer to [RFC2663] for information on NAT + taxonomy and terminology. Traditional NAT is the most common type of + NAT device deployed. Readers may refer to [RFC3022] for detailed + information on traditional NAT. Traditional NAT has two main + varieties -- Basic NAT and Network Address/Port Translator (NAPT). + + NAPT is by far the most commonly deployed NAT device. NAPT allows + multiple internal hosts to share a single public IP address + simultaneously. When an internal host opens an outgoing TCP or UDP + session through a NAPT, the NAPT assigns the session a public IP + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 4] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + + address and port number, so that subsequent response packets from the + external endpoint can be received by the NAPT, translated, and + forwarded to the internal host. The effect is that the NAPT + establishes a NAT session to translate the (private IP address, + private port number) tuple to a (public IP address, public port + number) tuple, and vice versa, for the duration of the session. An + issue of relevance to peer-to-peer applications is how the NAT + behaves when an internal host initiates multiple simultaneous + sessions from a single (private IP, private port) endpoint to + multiple distinct endpoints on the external network. In this + specification, the term "NAT" refers to both "Basic NAT" and "Network + Address/Port Translator (NAPT)". + + This document uses the term "session" as defined in RFC 2663: "TCP/ + UDP sessions are uniquely identified by the tuple of (source IP + address, source TCP/UDP ports, target IP address, target TCP/UDP + Port)". + + This document uses the term "address and port mapping" as the + translation between an external address and port and an internal + address and port. Note that this is not the same as an "address + binding" as defined in RFC 2663. + + This document uses IANA terminology for port ranges, i.e., "Well + Known Ports" is 0-1023, "Registered" is 1024-49151, and "Dynamic + and/or Private" is 49152-65535, as defined in + http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers. + + STUN [RFC3489] used the terms "Full Cone", "Restricted Cone", "Port + Restricted Cone", and "Symmetric" to refer to different variations of + NATs applicable to UDP only. Unfortunately, this terminology has + been the source of much confusion, as it has proven inadequate at + describing real-life NAT behavior. This specification therefore + refers to specific individual NAT behaviors instead of using the + Cone/Symmetric terminology. + +4. Network Address and Port Translation Behavior + + This section describes the various NAT behaviors applicable to NATs. + +4.1. Address and Port Mapping + + When an internal endpoint opens an outgoing session through a NAT, + the NAT assigns the session an external IP address and port number so + that subsequent response packets from the external endpoint can be + received by the NAT, translated, and forwarded to the internal + endpoint. This is a mapping between an internal IP address and port + IP:port and external IP:port tuple. It establishes the translation + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 5] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + + that will be performed by the NAT for the duration of the session. + For many applications, it is important to distinguish the behavior of + the NAT when there are multiple simultaneous sessions established to + different external endpoints. + + The key behavior to describe is the criteria for reuse of a mapping + for new sessions to external endpoints, after establishing a first + mapping between an internal X:x address and port and an external + Y1:y1 address tuple. Let's assume that the internal IP address and + port X:x are mapped to X1':x1' for this first session.

This is determined by the filtering behavior + in the filtering portions of the NAT. + + REQ-1: A NAT MUST have an "Endpoint-Independent Mapping" behavior. + + Justification: In order for UNSAF methods to work, REQ-1 needs to be + met. Failure to meet REQ-1 will force the use of a UDP relay, + which is very often impractical. + + Some NATs are capable of assigning IP addresses from a pool of IP + addresses on the external side of the NAT, as opposed to just a + single IP address. This is especially common with larger NATs. Some + NATs use the external IP address mapping in an arbitrary fashion + (i.e., randomly): one internal IP address could have multiple + external IP address mappings active at the same time for different + sessions. These NATs have an "IP address pooling" behavior of + "Arbitrary". Some large Enterprise NATs use an IP address pooling + behavior of "Arbitrary" as a means of hiding the IP address assigned + to specific endpoints by making their assignment less predictable. + Other NATs use the same external IP address mapping for all sessions + associated with the same internal IP address. These NATs have an "IP + address pooling" behavior of "Paired". NATs that use an "IP address + pooling" behavior of "Arbitrary" can cause issues for applications + that use multiple ports from the same endpoint, but that do not + negotiate IP addresses individually (e.g., some applications using + RTP and RTCP). + + + + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 7] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + + REQ-2: It is RECOMMENDED that a NAT have an "IP address pooling" + behavior of "Paired". Note that this requirement is not + applicable to NATs that do not support IP address pooling. + + Justification: This will allow applications that use multiple ports + originating from the same internal IP address to also have the + same external IP address. This is to avoid breaking peer-to-peer + applications that are not capable of negotiating the IP address + for RTP and the IP address for RTCP separately. As such it is + envisioned that this requirement will become less important as + applications become NAT-friendlier with time. The main reason why + this requirement is here is that in a peer-to-peer application, + you are subject to the other peer's mistake. In particular, in + the context of SIP, if my application supports the extensions + defined in [RFC3605] for indicating RTP and RTCP addresses and + ports separately, but the other peer does not, there may still be + breakage in the form of the stream losing RTCP packets. This + requirement will avoid the loss of RTP in this context, although + the loss of RTCP may be inevitable in this particular example. It + is also worth noting that RFC 3605 is unfortunately not a + mandatory part of SIP [RFC3261]. Therefore, this requirement will + address a particularly nasty problem that will prevail for a + significant period of time. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 8] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + +4.2.

This port assignment behavior is referred to as "port + preservation". In case of port collision, these NATs attempt a + variety of techniques for coping. For example, some NATs will + overridden the previous mapping to preserve the same port. Other + NATs will assign a different IP address from a pool of external IP + addresses; this is only possible as long as the NAT has enough + external IP addresses; if the port is already in use on all available + external IP addresses, then these NATs will pick a different port + (i.e., they don't do port preservation anymore). + + Some NATs use "Port overloading", i.e., they always use port + preservation even in the case of collision (i.e., X1'=X2' and + x1=x2=x1'=x2'). Most applications will fail if the NAT uses "Port + overloading". + + A NAT that does not attempt to make the external port numbers match + the internal port numbers in any case is referred to as "no port + preservation". + + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 9] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + + When NATs do allocate a new source port, there is the issue of which + IANA-defined range of port to choose. The ranges are "well-known" + from 0 to 1023, "registered" from 1024 to 49151, and "dynamic/ + private" from 49152 through 65535. For most protocols, these are + destination ports and not source ports, so mapping a source port to a + source port that is already registered is unlikely to have any bad + effects. Some NATs may choose to use only the ports in the dynamic + range; the only downside of this practice is that it limits the + number of ports available. Other NAT devices may use everything but + the well-known range and may prefer to use the dynamic range first, + or possibly avoid the actual registered ports in the registered + range. Other NATs preserve the port range if it is in the well-known + range. [RFC0768] specifies that the source port is set to zero if no + reply packets are expected. In this case, it does not matter what + the NAT maps it to, as the source port will not be used. However, + many common OS APIs do not allow a user to send from port zero, + applications do not use port zero, and the behavior of various + existing NATs with regards to a packet with a source of port zero is + unknown. This document does not specify any normative behavior for a + NAT when handling a packet with a source port of zero which means + that applications cannot count on any sort of deterministic behavior + for these packets. + + REQ-3: A NAT MUST NOT have a "Port assignment" behavior of "Port + overloading". + + a) If the host's source port was in the range 0-1023, it is + RECOMMENDED the NAT's source port be in the same range. If the + host's source port was in the range 1024-65535, it is + RECOMMENDED that the NAT's source port be in that range. + + Justification: This requirement must be met in order to enable two + applications on the internal side of the NAT both to use the same + port to try to communicate with the same destination. NATs that + implement port preservation have to deal with conflicts on ports, + and the multiple code paths this introduces often result in + nondeterministic behavior. However, it should be understood that + when a port is randomly assigned, it may just randomly happen to + be assigned the same port. Applications must, therefore, be able + to deal with both port preservation and no port preservation. + + a) Certain applications expect the source UDP port to be in the + well-known range. See the discussion of Network File System + port expectations in [RFC2623] for an example. + + + + + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 10] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + +4.2.2. Port Parity + + Some NATs preserve the parity of the UDP port, i.e., an even port + will be mapped to an even port, and an odd port will be mapped to an + odd port. This behavior respects the [RFC3550] rule that RTP use + even ports, and RTCP use odd ports. RFC 3550 allows any port numbers + to be used for RTP and RTCP if the two numbers are specified + separately; for example, using [RFC3605]. However, some + implementations do not include RFC 3605, and do not recognize when + the peer has specified the RTCP port separately using RFC 3605. If + such an implementation receives an odd RTP port number from the peer + (perhaps after having been translated by a NAT), and then follows the + RFC 3550 rule to change the RTP port to the next lower even number, + this would obviously result in the loss of RTP. NAT-friendly + application aspects are outside the scope of this document. It is + expected that this issue will fade away with time, as implementations + improve. Preserving the port parity allows for supporting + communication with peers that do not support explicit specification + of both RTP and RTCP port numbers. + + REQ-4: It is RECOMMENDED that a NAT have a "Port parity + preservation" behavior of "Yes". + + Justification: This is to avoid breaking peer-to-peer applications + that do not explicitly and separately specify RTP and RTCP port + numbers and that follow the RFC 3550 rule to decrement an odd RTP + port to make it even. The same considerations apply, as per the + IP address pooling requirement. + +4.2.3. Port Contiguity + + Some NATs attempt to preserve the port contiguity rule of RTCP=RTP+1. + These NATs do things like sequential assignment or port reservation. + Sequential port assignment assumes that the application will open a + mapping for RTP first and then open a mapping for RTCP. It is not + practical to enforce this requirement on all applications. + Furthermore, there is a problem with glare if many applications (or + endpoints) are trying to open mappings simultaneously. Port + preservation is also problematic since it is wasteful, especially + considering that a NAT cannot reliably distinguish between RTP over + UDP and other UDP packets where there is no contiguity rule. For + those reasons, it would be too complex to attempt to preserve the + contiguity rule by suggesting specific NAT behavior, and it would + certainly break the deterministic behavior rule. + + In order to support both RTP and RTCP, it will therefore be necessary + that applications follow rules to negotiate RTP and RTCP separately, + and account for the very real possibility that the RTCP=RTP+1 rule + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 11] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + + will be broken. As this is an application requirement, it is outside + the scope of this document. + +4.3. Mapping Refresh + + NAT mapping timeout implementations vary, but include the timer's + value and the way the mapping timer is refreshed to keep the mapping + alive. + + The mapping timer is defined as the time a mapping will stay active + without packets traversing the NAT. There is great variation in the + values used by different NATs. + + REQ-5: A NAT UDP mapping timer MUST NOT expire in less than two + minutes, unless REQ-5a applies. + + a) For specific destination ports in the well-known port range + (ports 0-1023), a NAT MAY have shorter UDP mapping timers that + are specific to the IANA-registered application running over + that specific destination port. + + b) The value of the NAT UDP mapping timer MAY be configurable. + + c) A default value of five minutes or more for the NAT UDP mapping + timer is RECOMMENDED. + + Justification: This requirement is to ensure that the timeout is + long enough to avoid too-frequent timer refresh packets. + + a) Some UDP protocols using UDP use very short-lived connections. + There can be very many such connections; keeping them all in a + connections table could cause considerable load on the NAT. + Having shorter timers for these specific applications is, + therefore, an optimization technique. It is important that the + shorter timers applied to specific protocols be used sparingly, + and only for protocols using well-known destination ports that + are known to have a shorter timer, and that are known not to be + used by any applications for other purposes. + + b) Configuration is desirable for adapting to specific networks + and troubleshooting. + + c) This default is to avoid too-frequent timer refresh packets. + + Some NATs keep the mapping active (i.e., refresh the timer value) + when a packet goes from the internal side of the NAT to the external + side of the NAT. This is referred to as having a NAT Outbound + refresh behavior of "True". + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 12] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + + Some NATs keep the mapping active when a packet goes from the + external side of the NAT to the internal side of the NAT. This is + referred to as having a NAT Inbound Refresh Behavior of "True". + + Some NATs keep the mapping active on both, in which case, both + properties are "True". + + REQ-6: The NAT mapping Refresh Direction MUST have a "NAT Outbound + refresh behavior" of "True". + + a) The NAT mapping Refresh Direction MAY have a "NAT Inbound + refresh behavior" of "True". + + Justification: Outbound refresh is necessary for allowing the client + to keep the mapping alive. + + a) Inbound refresh may be useful for applications with no outgoing + UDP traffic. However, allowing inbound refresh may allow an + external attacker or misbehaving application to keep a mapping + alive indefinitely. This may be a security risk. Also, if the + process is repeated with different ports, over time, it could + use up all the ports on the NAT. + +4.4. Conflicting Internal and External IP Address Spaces + + Many NATs, particularly consumer-level devices designed to be + deployed by nontechnical users, routinely obtain their external IP + address, default router, and other IP configuration information for + their external interface dynamically from an external network, such + as an upstream ISP. The NAT, in turn, automatically sets up its own + internal subnet in one of the private IP address spaces assigned to + this purpose in [RFC1918], typically providing dynamic IP + configuration services for hosts on this internal network. + + Auto-configuration of NATs and private networks can be problematic, + however, if the NAT's external network is also in RFC 1918 private + address space. In a common scenario, an ISP places its customers + behind a NAT and hands out private RFC 1918 addresses to them. Some + of these customers, in turn, deploy consumer-level NATs, which, in + effect, act as "second-level" NATs, multiplexing their own private + RFC 1918 IP subnets onto the single RFC 1918 IP address provided by + the ISP. There is no inherent guarantee, in this case, that the + ISP's "intermediate" privately-addressed network and the customer's + internal privately-addressed network will not use numerically + identical or overlapping RFC 1918 IP subnets. Furthermore, customers + of consumer-level NATs cannot be expected to have the technical + + + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 13] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + + knowledge to prevent this scenario from occurring by manually + configuring their internal network with non-conflicting RFC 1918 + subnets. + + NAT vendors need to design their NATs to ensure that they function + correctly and robustly even in such problematic scenarios. One + possible solution is for the NAT to ensure that whenever its external + link is configured with an RFC 1918 private IP address, the NAT + automatically selects a different, non-conflicting RFC 1918 IP subnet + for its internal network. A disadvantage of this solution is that, + if the NAT's external interface is dynamically configured or re- + configured after its internal network is already in use, then the NAT + may have to renumber its entire internal network dynamically if it + detects a conflict. + + An alternative solution is for the NAT to be designed so that it can + translate and forward traffic correctly, even when its external and + internal interfaces are configured with numerically overlapping IP + subnets. In this scenario, for example, if the NAT's external + interface has been assigned an IP address P in RFC 1918 space, then + there might also be an internal node I having the same RFC 1918 + private IP address P. An IP packet with destination address P on the + external network is directed at the NAT, whereas an IP packet with + the same destination address P on the internal network is directed at + node I. The NAT therefore needs to maintain a clear operational + distinction between "external IP addresses" and "internal IP + addresses" to avoid confusing internal node I with its own external + interface. In general, the NAT needs to allow all internal nodes + (including I) to communicate with all external nodes having public + (non-RFC 1918) IP addresses, or having private IP addresses that do + not conflict with the addresses used by its internal network. + + REQ-7: A NAT device whose external IP interface can be configured + dynamically MUST either (1) automatically ensure that its internal + network uses IP addresses that do not conflict with its external + network, or (2) be able to translate and forward traffic between + all internal nodes and all external nodes whose IP addresses + numerically conflict with the internal network. + + Justification: If a NAT's external and internal interfaces are + configured with overlapping IP subnets, then there is, of course, + no way for an internal host with RFC 1918 IP address Q to initiate + a direct communication session to an external node having the same + RFC 1918 address Q, or to other external nodes with IP addresses + that numerically conflict with the internal subnet. Such nodes + can still open communication sessions indirectly via NAT traversal + techniques, however, with the help of a third-party server, such + as a STUN server having a public, non-RFC 1918 IP address. In + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 14] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + + this case, nodes with conflicting private RFC 1918 addresses on + opposite sides of the second-level NAT can communicate with each + other via their respective temporary public endpoints on the main + Internet, as long as their common, first-level NAT (e.g., the + upstream ISP's NAT) supports hairpinning behavior, as described in + Section 6. + +5. Filtering Behavior + + This section describes various filtering behaviors observed in NATs. + + When an internal endpoint opens an outgoing session through a NAT, + the NAT assigns a filtering rule for the mapping between an internal + IP:port (X:x) and external IP:port (Y:y) tuple. + + The key behavior to describe is what criteria are used by the NAT to + filter packets originating from specific external endpoints. + + Endpoint-Independent Filtering: + + The NAT filters out only packets not destined to the internal + address and port X:x, regardless of the external IP address and + port source (Z:z). The NAT forwards any packets destined to + X:x. In other words, sending packets from the internal side of + the NAT to any external IP address is sufficient to allow any + packets back to the internal endpoint. + + Address-Dependent Filtering: + + The NAT filters out packets not destined to the internal + address X:x. Additionally, the NAT will filter out packets + from Y:y destined for the internal endpoint X:x if X:x has not + sent packets to Y:any previously (independently of the port + used by Y). In other words, for receiving packets from a + specific external endpoint, it is necessary for the internal + endpoint to send packets first to that specific external + endpoint's IP address. + + Address and Port-Dependent Filtering: + + This is similar to the previous behavior, except that the + external port is also relevant. The NAT filters out packets + not destined for the internal address X:x. Additionally, the + NAT will filter out packets from Y:y destined for the internal + endpoint X:x if X:x has not sent packets to Y:y previously. In + other words, for receiving packets from a specific external + endpoint, it is necessary for the internal endpoint to send + packets first to that external endpoint's IP address and port. + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 15] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + + REQ-8: If application transparency is most important, it is + RECOMMENDED that a NAT have an "Endpoint-Independent Filtering" + behavior. If a more stringent filtering behavior is most + important, it is RECOMMENDED that a NAT have an "Address-Dependent + Filtering" behavior. + + a) The filtering behavior MAY be an option configurable by the + administrator of the NAT. + + Justification: The recommendation to use Endpoint-Independent + Filtering is aimed at maximizing application transparency; in + particular, for applications that receive media simultaneously + from multiple locations (e.g., gaming), or applications that use + rendezvous techniques. However, it is also possible that, in some + circumstances, it may be preferable to have a more stringent + filtering behavior. Filtering independently of the external + endpoint is not as secure: An unauthorized packet could get + through a specific port while the port was kept open if it was + lucky enough to find the port open. In theory, filtering based on + both IP address and port is more secure than filtering based only + on the IP address (because the external endpoint could, in + reality, be two endpoints behind another NAT, where one of the two + endpoints is an attacker). However, such a policy could interfere + with applications that expect to receive UDP packets on more than + one UDP port. Using Endpoint-Independent Filtering or Address- + Dependent Filtering instead of Address and Port-Dependent + Filtering on a NAT (say, NAT-A) also has benefits when the other + endpoint is behind a non-BEHAVE compliant NAT (say, NAT-B) that + does not support REQ-1. When the endpoints use ICE, if NAT-A uses + Address and Port-Dependent Filtering, connectivity will require a + UDP relay. However, if NAT-A uses Endpoint-Independent Filtering + or Address-Dependent Filtering, ICE will ultimately find + connectivity without requiring a UDP relay. Having the filtering + behavior being an option configurable by the administrator of the + NAT ensures that a NAT can be used in the widest variety of + deployment scenarios. + +6. Hairpinning Behavior + + If two hosts (called X1 and X2) are behind the same NAT and + exchanging traffic, the NAT may allocate an address on the outside of + the NAT for X2, called X2':x2'. If X1 sends traffic to X2':x2', it + goes to the NAT, which must relay the traffic from X1 to X2.

Note that typically X1' + is the same as X2'. + + Furthermore, the NAT may present the hairpinned packet with either an + internal (X1:x1) or an external (X1':x1') source IP address and port. + Therefore, the hairpinning NAT behavior can be either "External + source IP address and port" or "Internal source IP address and port". + "Internal source IP address and port" may cause problems by confusing + implementations that expect an external IP address and port. + + REQ-9: A NAT MUST support "Hairpinning". + + a) A NAT Hairpinning behavior MUST be "External source IP address + and port". + + Justification: This requirement is to allow communications between + two endpoints behind the same NAT when they are trying each + other's external IP addresses. + + a) Using the external source IP address is necessary for + applications with a restrictive policy of not accepting packets + from IP addresses that differ from what is expected. + +7. Application Level Gateways + + Certain NATs have implemented Application Level Gateways (ALGs) for + various protocols, including protocols for negotiating peer-to-peer + sessions, such as SIP. + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 17] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + + Certain NATs have these ALGs turned on permanently, others have them + turned on by default but allow them to be turned off, and others have + them turned off by default but allow them be turned on. + + NAT ALGs may interfere with UNSAF methods or protocols that try to be + NAT-aware and therefore must be used with extreme caution. + + REQ-10: To eliminate interference with UNSAF NAT traversal + mechanisms and allow integrity protection of UDP communications, + NAT ALGs for UDP-based protocols SHOULD be turned off. Future + standards track specifications that define ALGs can update this to + recommend the defaults for the ALGs that they define. + + a) If a NAT includes ALGs, it is RECOMMENDED that the NAT allow + the NAT administrator to enable or disable each ALG separately. + + Justification: NAT ALGs may interfere with UNSAF methods. + + a) This requirement allows the user to enable those ALGs that are + necessary to aid in the operation of some applications without + enabling ALGs, which interfere with the operation of other + applications. + +8. Deterministic Properties + + The classification of NATs is further complicated by the fact that, + under some conditions, the same NAT will exhibit different behaviors. + This has been seen on NATs that preserve ports or have specific + algorithms for selecting a port other than a free one. If the + external port that the NAT wishes to use is already in use by another + session, the NAT must select a different port. This results in + different code paths for this conflict case, which results in + different behavior. + + For example, if three hosts X1, X2, and X3 all send from the same + port x, through a port preserving NAT with only one external IP + address, called X1', the first one to send (i.e., X1) will get an + external port of x, but the next two will get x2' and x3' (where + these are not equal to x). There are NATs where the External NAT + mapping characteristics and the External Filter characteristics + change between the X1:x and the X2:x mapping. To make matters worse, + there are NATs where the behavior may be the same on the X1:x and + X2:x mappings, but different on the third X3:x mapping. + + Another example is that some NATs have an "Endpoint-Independent + Mapping", combined with "Port Overloading", as long as two endpoints + are not establishing sessions to the same external direction, but + then switch their behavior to "Address and Port-Dependent Mapping" + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 18] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + + without "Port Preservation" upon detection of these conflicting + sessions establishments. + + Any NAT that changes the NAT Mapping or the Filtering behavior + without configuration changes, at any point in time, under any + particular conditions, is referred to as a "non-deterministic" NAT. + NATs that don't are called "deterministic". + + Non-deterministic NATs generally change behavior when a conflict of + some sort happens, i.e., when the port that would normally be used is + already in use by another mapping. The NAT mapping and External + Filtering in the absence of conflict is referred to as the Primary + behavior. The behavior after the first conflict is referred to as + Secondary and after the second conflict is referred to as Tertiary. + No NATs have been observed that change on further conflicts, but it + is certainly possible that they exist. + + REQ-11: A NAT MUST have deterministic behavior, i.e., it MUST NOT + change the NAT translation (Section 4) or the Filtering + (Section 5) Behavior at any point in time, or under any particular + conditions. + + Justification: Non-deterministic NATs are very difficult to + troubleshoot because they require more intensive testing. This + non-deterministic behavior is the root cause of much of the + uncertainty that NATs introduce about whether or not applications + will work. + +9. ICMP Destination Unreachable Behavior + + When a NAT sends a packet toward a host on the other side of the NAT, + an ICMP message may be sent in response to that packet. That ICMP + message may be sent by the destination host or by any router along + the network path. The NAT's default configuration SHOULD NOT filter + ICMP messages based on their source IP address. Such ICMP messages + SHOULD be rewritten by the NAT (specifically, the IP headers and the + ICMP payload) and forwarded to the appropriate internal or external + host. The NAT needs to perform this function for as long as the UDP + mapping is active. Receipt of any sort of ICMP message MUST NOT + destroy the NAT mapping. A NAT that performs the functions described + in the paragraph above is referred to as "support ICMP Processing". + + There is no significant security advantage to blocking ICMP + Destination Unreachable packets. Additionally, blocking ICMP + Destination Unreachable packets can interfere with application + failover, UDP Path MTU Discovery (see [RFC1191] and [RFC1435]), and + traceroute. Blocking any ICMP message is discouraged, and blocking + ICMP Destination Unreachable is strongly discouraged. + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 19] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + + REQ-12: Receipt of any sort of ICMP message MUST NOT terminate the + NAT mapping. + + a) The NAT's default configuration SHOULD NOT filter ICMP messages + based on their source IP address. + + b) It is RECOMMENDED that a NAT support ICMP Destination + Unreachable messages. + + Justification: This is easy to do and is used for many things + including MTU discovery and rapid detection of error conditions, + and has no negative consequences. + +10. Fragmentation of Outgoing Packets + + When the MTU of the adjacent link is too small, fragmentation of + packets going from the internal side to the external side of the NAT + may occur. This can occur if the NAT is doing Point-to-Point over + Ethernet (PPPoE), or if the NAT has been configured with a small MTU + to reduce serialization delay when sending large packets and small + higher-priority packets, or for other reasons. + + It is worth noting that many IP stacks do not use Path MTU Discovery + with UDP packets. + + The packet could have its Don't Fragment bit set to 1 (DF=1) or 0 + (DF=0). + + REQ-13: If the packet received on an internal IP address has DF=1, + the NAT MUST send back an ICMP message "Fragmentation needed and + DF set" to the host, as described in [RFC0792]. + + a) If the packet has DF=0, the NAT MUST fragment the packet and + SHOULD send the fragments in order. + + Justification: This is as per RFC 792. + + a) This is the same function a router performs in a similar + situation [RFC1812]. + +11. Receiving Fragmented Packets + + For a variety of reasons, a NAT may receive a fragmented packet. The + IP packet containing the header could arrive in any fragment, + depending on network conditions, packet ordering, and the + implementation of the IP stack that generated the fragments. + + + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 20] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + + A NAT that is capable only of receiving fragments in order (that is, + with the header in the first packet) and forwarding each of the + fragments to the internal host is described as "Received Fragments + Ordered". + + A NAT that is capable of receiving fragments in or out of order and + forwarding the individual fragments (or a reassembled packet) to the + internal host is referred to as "Receive Fragments Out of Order". + See the Security Considerations section of this document for a + discussion of this behavior. + + A NAT that is neither of these is referred to as "Receive Fragments + None". + + REQ-14: A NAT MUST support receiving in-order and out-of-order + fragments, so it MUST have "Received Fragment Out of Order" + behavior. + + a) A NAT's out-of-order fragment processing mechanism MUST be + designed so that fragmentation-based DoS attacks do not + compromise the NAT's ability to process in-order and + unfragmented IP packets. + + Justification: See Security Considerations. + +12. Requirements + + The requirements in this section are aimed at minimizing the + complications caused by NATs to applications, such as realtime + communications and online gaming. The requirements listed earlier in + the document are consolidated here into a single section. + + It should be understood, however, that applications normally do not + know in advance if the NAT conforms to the recommendations defined in + this section. Peer-to-peer media applications still need to use + normal procedures, such as ICE [ICE]. + + A NAT that supports all the mandatory requirements of this + specification (i.e., the "MUST"), is "compliant with this + specification". A NAT that supports all the requirements of this + specification (i.e., including the "RECOMMENDED") is "fully compliant + with all the mandatory and recommended requirements of this + specification". + + + + + + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 21] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + + REQ-1: A NAT MUST have an "Endpoint-Independent Mapping" behavior. + + REQ-2: It is RECOMMENDED that a NAT have an "IP address pooling" + behavior of "Paired".

Security Considerations + + NATs are often deployed to achieve security goals. Most of the + recommendations and requirements in this document do not affect the + security properties of these devices, but a few of them do have + security implications and are discussed in this section. + + This document recommends that the timers for mapping be refreshed on + outgoing packets (see REQ-6) and does not make recommendations about + whether or not inbound packets should update the timers. If inbound + packets update the timers, an external attacker can keep the mapping + alive forever and attack future devices that may end up with the same + internal address. A device that was also the DHCP server for the + private address space could mitigate this by cleaning any mappings + when a DHCP lease expired. For unicast UDP traffic (the scope of + this document), it may not seem relevant to support inbound timer + refresh; however, for multicast UDP, the question is harder. It is + expected that future documents discussing NAT behavior with multicast + traffic will refine the requirements around handling of the inbound + refresh timer. Some devices today do update the timers on inbound + packets. + + This document recommends that the NAT filters be specific to the + external IP address only (see REQ-8) and not to the external IP + address and UDP port. It can be argued that this is less secure than + using the IP and port. Devices that wish to filter on IP and port do + still comply with these requirements. + + Non-deterministic NATs are risky from a security point of view. They + are very difficult to test because they are, well, non-deterministic. + Testing by a person configuring one may result in the person thinking + it is behaving as desired, yet under different conditions, which an + attacker can create, the NAT may behave differently. These + requirements recommend that devices be deterministic. + + This document requires that NATs have an "external NAT mapping is + endpoint independent" behavior. This does not reduce the security of + devices. Which packets are allowed to flow across the device is + determined by the external filtering behavior, which is independent + of the mapping behavior. + + When a fragmented packet is received from the external side, and the + packets are out of order so that the initial fragment does not arrive + first, many systems simply discard the out-of-order packets. + Moreover, since some networks deliver small packets ahead of large + ones, there can be many out-of-order fragments. NATs that are + capable of delivering these out-of-order packets are possible, but + they need to store the out-of-order fragments, which can open up a + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 24] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + + Denial-of-Service (DoS) opportunity, if done incorrectly. + Fragmentation has been a tool used in many attacks, some involving + passing fragmented packets through NATs, and others involving DoS + attacks based on the state needed to reassemble the fragments. NAT + implementers should be aware of [RFC3128] and [RFC1858]. + +14. IAB Considerations + + The IAB has studied the problem of "Unilateral Self Address Fixing", + which is the general process by which a client attempts to determine + its address in another realm on the other side of a NAT through a + collaborative protocol reflection mechanism [RFC3424]. + + This specification does not, in itself, constitute an UNSAF + application. It consists of a series of requirements for NATs aimed + at minimizing the negative impact that those devices have on peer-to- + peer media applications, especially when those applications are using + UNSAF methods. + + Section 3 of UNSAF lists several practical issues with solutions to + NAT problems. This document makes recommendations to reduce the + uncertainty and problems introduced by these practical issues with + NATs. In addition, UNSAF lists five architectural considerations. + Although this is not an UNSAF proposal, it is interesting to consider + the impact of this work on these architectural considerations. + + Arch-1: The scope of this is limited to UDP packets in NATs like the + ones widely deployed today. The "fix" helps constrain the + variability of NATs for true UNSAF solutions such as STUN. + + Arch-2: This will exit at the same rate that NATs exit. It does not + imply any protocol machinery that would continue to live + after NATs were gone, or make it more difficult to remove + them. + + Arch-3: This does not reduce the overall brittleness of NATs, but + will hopefully reduce some of the more outrageous NAT + behaviors and make it easer to discuss and predict NAT + behavior in given situations. + + Arch-4: This work and the results [RESULTS] of various NATs + represent the most comprehensive work at IETF on what the + real issues are with NATs for applications like VoIP. This + work and STUN have pointed out, more than anything else, the + brittleness NATs introduce and the difficulty of addressing + these issues. + + + + + +Audet & Jennings Best Current Practice [Page 25] + +RFC 4787 NAT UDP Unicast Requirements January 2007 + + + Arch-5: This work and the test results [RESULTS] provide a reference + model for what any UNSAF proposal might encounter in + deployed NATs. + +15.

Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 4884 Multi-Part ICMP Messages April 2007 + + +1. Introduction + + This document redefines selected ICMPv4 [RFC0792] and ICMPv6 + [RFC4443] messages to include an extension structure and a length + attribute. The extension structure supports multi-part ICMP + operation. Protocol designers can make an ICMP message carry + additional information by encoding that information in the extension + structure. + + This document also addresses a fundamental problem in ICMP + extensibility. All of the ICMP messages addressed by this memo + include an "original datagram" field. The "original datagram" field + contains the initial octets of the datagram that elicited the ICMP + error message. Although the "original datagram" field is of variable + length, the ICMP message does not include a field that specifies its + length. + + Application software infers the length of the "original datagram" + field from the total length of the ICMP message. If an extension + structure were appended to the message without adding a length + attribute for the "original datagram" field, the message would become + unparsable. Specifically, application software would not be able to + determine where the "original datagram" field ends and where the + extension structure begins. Therefore, this document proposes a + length attribute as well as an extension structure that is appended + to the ICMP message. + + The current memo also addresses backwards compatibility with existing + ICMP implementations that either do not implement the extensions + defined herein or implement them without adding the required length + attributes. In particular, this document addresses backwards + compatibility with certain, widely deployed, MPLS-aware ICMPv4 + implementations that send the extensions defined herein without + adding the required length attribute. + + The current memo does not define any ICMP extension objects. It + defines only the extension header and a common header that all + extension objects share. [UNNUMBERED], [ROUTING-INST], and + [MPLS-ICMP] provide sample applications of the ICMP Extension Object. + + The above mentioned memos share a common characteristic. They all + append information to the ICMP Time Expired message for consumption + by TRACEROUTE. In this case, as in many others, appending + information to the existing ICMP Time Expired Message is preferable + to defining a new message and emitting two messages whenever a packet + is dropped due to TTL expiration. + + + + + +Bonica, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 4884 Multi-Part ICMP Messages April 2007 + + +2. Conventions Used in This Document + + 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]. + +3. Summary of Changes to ICMP + + The following is a summary of changes to ICMP that are introduced by + this memo: + + An ICMP Extension Structure MAY be appended to ICMPv4 Destination + Unreachable, Time Exceeded, and Parameter Problem messages. + + An ICMP Extension Structure MAY be appended to ICMPv6 Destination + Unreachable, and Time Exceeded messages. + + The above mentioned messages include an "original datagram" field, + and the message formats are updated to specify a length attribute + for the "original datagram" field. + + When the ICMP Extension Structure is appended to an ICMP message + and that ICMP message contains an "original datagram" field, the + "original datagram" field MUST contain at least 128 octets. + + When the ICMP Extension Structure is appended to an ICMPv4 message + and that ICMPv4 message contains an "original datagram" field, the + "original datagram" field MUST be zero padded to the nearest + 32-bit boundary. + + When the ICMP Extension Structure is appended to an ICMPv6 message + and that ICMPv6 message contains an "original datagram" field, the + "original datagram" field MUST be zero padded to the nearest + 64-bit boundary. + + ICMP messages defined in the future SHOULD indicate whether or not + they support the extension mechanism defined in this + specification. It is recommended that all new messages support + extensions. + +4. ICMP Extensibility + + RFC 792 defines the following ICMPv4 message types: + + - Destination Unreachable + + - Time Exceeded + + + + +Bonica, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 4884 Multi-Part ICMP Messages April 2007 + + + - Parameter Problem + + - Source Quench + + - Redirect + + - Echo Request/Reply + + - Timestamp/Timestamp Reply + + - Information Request/Information Reply + + [RFC1191] reserves bits for the "Next-Hop MTU" field in the + Destination Unreachable message. + + RFC 4443 defines the following ICMPv6 message types: + + - Destination Unreachable + + - Packet Too Big + + - Time Exceeded + + - Parameter Problem + + - Echo Request/Reply + + Many ICMP messages are extensible as currently defined. Protocol + designers can extend ICMP messages by simply appending fields or data + structures to them. + + However, the following ICMP messages are not extensible as currently + defined: + + - ICMPv4 Destination Unreachable (type = 3) + + - ICMPv4 Time Exceeded (type = 11) + + - ICMPv4 Parameter Problem (type = 12) + + - ICMPv6 Destination Unreachable (type = 1) + + - ICMPv6 Packet Too Big (type = 2) + + - ICMPv6 Time Exceeded (type = 3) + + - ICMPv6 Parameter Problem (type = 4) + + + + +Bonica, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 4884 Multi-Part ICMP Messages April 2007 + + + These messages contain an "original datagram" field which represents + the leading octets of the datagram to which the ICMP message is a + response. RFC 792 defines the "original datagram" field for ICMPv4 + messages. In RFC 792, the "original datagram" field includes the IP + header plus the next eight octets of the original datagram. + [RFC1812] extends the "original datagram" field to contain as many + octets as possible without causing the ICMP message to exceed the + minimum IPv4 reassembly buffer size (i.e., 576 octets). RFC 4443 + defines the "original datagram" field for ICMPv6 messages. In RFC + 4443, the "original datagram" field always contained as many octets + as possible without causing the ICMP message to exceed the minimum + IPv6 MTU (i.e., 1280 octets). + + Unfortunately, the "original datagram" field lacks a length + attribute.

ICMP Messages That Can Be Extended + + The ICMP Extension Structure MAY be appended to messages of the + following types: + + - ICMPv4 Destination Unreachable + + - ICMPv4 Time Exceeded + + - ICMPv4 Parameter Problem + + - ICMPv6 Destination Unreachable + + - ICMPv6 Time Exceeded + + The ICMP Extension Structure MUST NOT be appended to any of the other + ICMP messages mentioned in Section 4. Extensions were not defined + for the ICMPv6 "Packet Too Big" and "Parameter Problem" messages + because these messages lack space for a length attribute. + +5. Backwards Compatibility + + ICMP messages can be categorized as follows: + + - Messages that do not include any ICMP extensions + + - Messages that include non-compliant ICMP extensions + + - Messages that includes compliant ICMP extensions + + Any ICMP implementation can send a message that does not include + extensions. ICMP implementations produced prior to 1999 are not + known to send ICMP extensions. + + Some ICMP implementations, produced between 1999 and the time of this + publication, may send a non-compliant version of ICMP extensions + described in this memo. Specifically, these implementations may + append the ICMP Extension Structure to the Time Exceeded and + Destination Unreachable messages. When they do this, they send + exactly 128 octets representing the original datagram, zero padding + if required. They also calculate checksums as described in this + document. However, they do not specify a length attribute to be + associated with the "original datagram" field. + + It is assumed that ICMP implementations produced in the future will + send ICMP extensions that are compliant with this specification. + + + + + +Bonica, et al. Standards Track [Page 10] + +RFC 4884 Multi-Part ICMP Messages April 2007 + + + Likewise, applications that consume ICMP messages can be categorized + as follows: + + - Classic applications + + - Non-compliant applications + + - Compliant applications + + Classic applications do not parse extensions defined in this memo. + They are insensitive to the length attribute that is associated with + the "original datagram" field. + + Non-compliant implementations parse the extensions defined in this + memo, but only in conjunction with the Time Expired and Destination + Unreachable messages. They require the "original datagram" field to + contain exactly 128 octets and are insensitive to the length + attribute that is associated with the "original datagram" field. + Non-compliant applications were produced between 1999 and the time of + publication of this memo. + + Compliant applications comply fully with the specifications of this + document. + + In order to demonstrate backwards compatibility, Table 1 describes + how members of each application category would parse each category of + ICMP message. + + +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+ + | | No Extensions | Non-compliant | Compliant | + | | | Extensions | Extensions | + +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+ + | Classic | - | Section 5.1 | Section 5.1 | + | Application | | | | + | | | | | + | Non-compliant | Section 5.2 | - | Section 5.3 | + | Application | | | | + | | | | | + | Compliant | Section 5.4 | Section 5.5 | - | + | Application | | | | + +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+ + + Table 1 + + In the table above, cells that contain a dash represent the nominal + case and require no explanation. In the following sections, we + assume that the ICMP message type is "Time Exceeded". + + + + +Bonica, et al. Standards Track [Page 11] + +RFC 4884 Multi-Part ICMP Messages April 2007 + + +5.1. Classic Application Receives ICMP Message with Extensions + + When a classic application receives an ICMP message that includes + extensions, it will incorrectly interpret those extensions as being + part of the "original datagram" field. Fortunately, the extensions + are guaranteed to begin at least 128 octets beyond the beginning of + the "original datagram" field. So, only those ICMP applications that + process the 129th octet of the "original datagram" field will be + adversely effected. To date, only two applications falling into this + category have been identified, and the degree to which they are + effected is minimal. + + Some TCP stacks, when they receive an ICMP message, verify the + checksum in the original datagram field [ATTACKS]. If the checksum + is incorrect, the TCP stack discards the ICMP message for security + reasons. If the trailing octets of the original datagram field are + overwritten by ICMP extensions, the TCP stack will discard an ICMP + message that it would not otherwise have discarded. The impact of + this issue is considered to be minimal because many ICMP messages are + discarded for other reasons (e.g., ICMP filtering, network + congestion, checksum was incorrect because original datagram field + was truncated.) + + Another theoretically possible, but highly improbably scenario occurs + when ICMP extensions overwrite the portion of the original datagram + field that represents the TCP header, causing the TCP stack to + operate upon the wrong TCP connection. This scenario is highly + unlikely because it occurs only when the TCP header appears at or + beyond the 128th octet of the original datagram field and then only + when the extensions approximate a valid TCP header. + +5.2. Non-Compliant Application Receives ICMP Message with No Extensions + + When a non-compliant ICMPv4 application receives a message that + contains no extensions, the application examines the total length of + the ICMPv4 message. If the total ICMPv4 message length is less than + the length of its IP header plus 144 octets, the application + correctly determines that the message does not contain any + extensions. + + The 144-octet sum is derived from 8 octets for the first two words of + the ICMPv4 Time Exceeded message, 128 octets for the "original + datagram" field, 4 octets for the ICMP Extension Header, and 4 octets + for a single ICMP Object header. All of these octets would be + required if extensions were present. + + + + + + +Bonica, et al. Standards Track [Page 12] + +RFC 4884 Multi-Part ICMP Messages April 2007 + + + If the ICMPv4 payload contains 144 octets or more, the application + must examine the 137th octet to determine whether it represents a + valid ICMPv4 Extension Header. In order to represent a valid + Extension Header, it must contain a valid version number and + checksum. If it does not contain a valid version number and + checksum, the application correctly determines that the message does + not contain any extensions. + + Non-compliant applications assume that the ICMPv4 Extension Structure + begins on the 137th octet of the Time Exceeded message, after a + 128-octet field representing the padded "original datagram" message. + + It is possible that a non-compliant application will parse an ICMPv4 + message incorrectly under the following conditions: + + - the message does not contain extensions + + - the original datagram field contains 144 octets or more + + - selected octets of the original datagram field represent the + correct values for an extension header version number and + checksum + + Although this is possible, it is very unlikely. + + A similar analysis can be performed for ICMPv6. However, the numeric + constants would change as appropriate. + +5.3. Non-Compliant Application Receives ICMP Message with Compliant + Extensions + + When a non-compliant application receives a message that contains + compliant ICMP extensions, it will parse those extensions correctly + only if the "original datagram" field contains exactly 128 octets. + This is because non-compliant applications are insensitive to the + length attribute that is associated with the "original datagram" + field. (They assume its value to be 128.) + + Provided that the entire ICMP message does not exceed the minimum + reassembly buffer size (576 octets for ICMPv4 or 1280 octets for + ICMPv6), there is no upper limit upon the length of the "original + datagram" field. However, each implementation will decide how many + octets to include. Those wishing to be backward compatible with non- + compliant TRACEROUTE implementations will include exactly 128 octets. + Those not requiring compatibility with non-compliant TRACEROUTE + applications may include more octets. + + + + + +Bonica, et al. Standards Track [Page 13] + +RFC 4884 Multi-Part ICMP Messages April 2007 + + +5.4. Compliant Application Receives ICMP Message with No Extensions + + When a compliant application receives an ICMP message, it examines + the length attribute that is associated with the "original datagram" + field. If the length attribute is zero, the compliant application + MUST determine that the message contains no extensions. + +5.5. Compliant Application Receives ICMP Message with Non-Compliant + Extensions + + When a compliant application receives an ICMP message, it examines + the length attribute that is associated with the "original datagram" + field. If the length attribute is zero, the compliant application + MUST determine that the message contains no extensions. In this + case, that determination is technically correct, but not backwards + compatible with the non-compliant implementation that originated the + ICMP message. + + So, to ease transition yet encourage compliant implementation, + compliant TRACEROUTE implementations MUST include a non-default + operation mode to also interpret non-compliant responses. + Specifically, when a TRACEROUTE application operating in non- + compliant mode receives a sufficiently long ICMP message that does + not specify a length attribute, it will parse for a valid extension + header at a fixed location, assuming a 128-octet "original datagram" + field. If the application detects a valid version and checksum, it + will treat the octets that follow as an extension structure. + +6. Interaction with Network Address Translation + + The ICMP extensions defined in this memo do not interfere with + Network Address Translation. [RFC3022] permits traditional NAT + devices to modify selected fields within ICMP messages. These fields + include the "original datagram" field mentioned above. However, if a + NAT device modifies the "original datagram" field, it should modify + only the leading octets of that field, which represent the outermost + IP header. Because the outermost IP header is guaranteed to be + contained by the first 128 octets of the "original datagram" field, + ICMP extensions and NAT will not interfere with one another. + + It is conceivable that a NAT implementation might overstep the + restrictions of RFC 3022 and overwrite the length attribute specified + by this memo. If a NAT implementation were to overwrite the length + attribute with zeros, the resulting packet will be indistinguishable + from a packet that was generated by a non-compliant ICMP + implementation. See Section 5.5 for packet details and a discussion + of backwards compatibility. + + + + +Bonica, et al. Standards Track [Page 14] + +RFC 4884 Multi-Part ICMP Messages April 2007 + + +7. The ICMP Extension Structure + + This memo proposes an optional ICMP Extension Structure that can be + appended to the ICMP messages referenced in Section 4.6 of this + document. + + The Extension Structure contains exactly one Extension Header + followed by one or more objects. Having received an ICMP message + with extensions, application software MAY process selected objects + while ignoring others. The presence of an unrecognized object does + not imply that an ICMP message is malformed. + + As stated above, the total length of the ICMP message, including + extensions, MUST NOT exceed the minimum reassembly buffer size. + Figure 6 depicts the ICMP Extension Header. + + 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 + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + |Version| (Reserved) | Checksum | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + + Figure 6: ICMP Extension Header + + The fields of the ICMP Extension Header are as follows: + + Version: 4 bits + + ICMP extension version number.

Standards Track [Page 15] + +RFC 4884 Multi-Part ICMP Messages April 2007 + + +8.

Security Considerations + + Upon receipt of an ICMP message, application software must check it + for syntactic correctness. The extension checksum must be verified. + Improperly specified length attributes and other syntax problems may + result in buffer overruns. + + This memo does not define the conditions under which a router sends + an ICMP message. Therefore, it does not expose routers to any new + denial-of-service attacks. Routers may need to limit the rate at + which ICMP messages are sent. + + + + + + + +Bonica, et al. Standards Track [Page 16] + +RFC 4884 Multi-Part ICMP Messages April 2007 + + +10. IANA Considerations + + The ICMP Extension Object header contains two 8-bit fields: The + Class-Num identifies the object class, and the C-Type identifies the + class sub-type. Sub-type values are defined relative to a specific + object class value, and are defined per class. + + IANA has established a registry of ICMP extension objects classes and + class sub-types. There are no values assigned within this document + to maintain. Object classes 0xF7 - 0xFF are reserved for private + use. Object class values are assignable on a first-come-first-serve + basis. The policy for assigning sub-type values should be defined in + the document defining new class values. + +11.

Best Current Practice [Page 2] + +RFC 5382 NAT TCP Requirements October 2008 + + +1. Applicability Statement + + This document is adjunct to [BEHAVE-UDP], which defines many terms + relating to NATs, lays out general requirements for all NATs, and + sets requirements for NATs that handle IP and unicast UDP traffic. + The purpose of this document is to set requirements for NATs that + handle TCP traffic. + + The requirements of this specification apply to traditional NATs as + described in [RFC2663]. + + This document only covers the TCP aspects of NAT traversal. + Middlebox behavior that is not necessary for network address + translation of TCP is out of scope. Packet inspection above the TCP + layer and firewalls are out of scope except for Application Level + Gateway (ALG) behavior that may interfere with NAT traversal. + Application and OS aspects of TCP NAT traversal are out of scope. + Signaling-based approaches to NAT traversal, such as Middlebox + Communication (MIDCOM) and Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), that + directly control the NAT are out of scope. Finally, TCP connections + intended for the NAT (e.g., an HTTP or Secure Shell Protocol (SSH) + management interface) and TCP connections initiated by the NAT (e.g., + reliable syslog client) are out of scope. + +2. Introduction + + Network Address Translators (NATs) hinder connectivity in + applications where sessions may be initiated to internal hosts. + Readers may refer to [RFC3022] for detailed information on + traditional NATs. [BEHAVE-UDP] lays out the terminology and + requirements for NATs in the context of IP and UDP. This document + supplements these by setting requirements for NATs that handle TCP + traffic. All definitions and requirements in [BEHAVE-UDP] are + inherited here. + + [RFC4614] chronicles the evolution of TCP from the original + definition [RFC0793] to present-day implementations. While much has + changed in TCP with regards to congestion control and flow control, + security, and support for high-bandwidth networks, the process of + initiating a connection (i.e., the 3-way handshake or simultaneous- + open) has changed little. It is the process of connection initiation + that NATs affect the most. Experimental approaches such as T/TCP + [RFC1644] have proposed alternate connection initiation approaches, + but have been found to be complex and susceptible to denial-of- + service attacks. Modern operating systems and NATs consequently + primarily support the 3-way handshake and simultaneous-open modes of + connection initiation as described in [RFC0793]. + + + + +Guha, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 3] + +RFC 5382 NAT TCP Requirements October 2008 + + + Recently, many techniques have been devised to make peer-to-peer TCP + applications work across NATs. [STUNT], [NATBLASTER], and [P2PNAT] + describe Unilateral Self-Address Fixing (UNSAF) mechanisms that allow + peer-to-peer applications to establish TCP through NATs. These + approaches require only endpoint applications to be modified and work + with standards compliant OS stacks. The approaches, however, depend + on specific NAT behavior that is usually, but not always, supported + by NATs (see [TCPTRAV] and [P2PNAT] for details). Consequently, a + complete TCP NAT traversal solution is sometimes forced to rely on + public TCP relays to traverse NATs that do not cooperate. This + document defines requirements that ensure that TCP NAT traversal + approaches are not forced to use data relays. + +3. 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]. + + "NAT" in this specification includes both "Basic NAT" and "Network + Address/Port Translator (NAPT)" [RFC2663]. The term "NAT Session" is + adapted from [NAT-MIB] and is defined as follows. + + NAT Session - A NAT session is an association between a TCP session + as seen in the internal realm and a TCP session as seen in the + external realm, by virtue of NAT translation. The NAT session will + provide the translation glue between the two session representations. + + This document uses the term "TCP connection" (or just "connection") + to refer to individual TCP flows identified by the 4-tuple (source + and destination IP address and TCP port) and the initial sequence + numbers (ISN). + + This document uses the term "address and port mapping" (or just + "mapping") as defined in [BEHAVE-UDP] to refer to state at the NAT + necessary for network address and port translation of TCP + connections. This document also uses the terms "Endpoint-Independent + Mapping", "Address-Dependent Mapping", "Address and Port-Dependent + Mapping", "filtering behavior", "Endpoint-Independent Filtering", + "Address-Dependent Filtering", "Address and Port-Dependent + Filtering", "Port assignment", "Port overloading", "hairpinning", and + "External source IP address and port" as defined in [BEHAVE-UDP]. + +4. TCP Connection Initiation + + This section describes various NAT behaviors applicable to TCP + connection initiation. + + + + +Guha, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 4] + +RFC 5382 NAT TCP Requirements October 2008 + + +4.1. Address and Port Mapping Behavior + + A NAT uses a mapping to translate packets for each TCP connection. A + mapping is dynamically allocated for connections initiated from the + internal side, and potentially reused for certain subsequent + connections. NAT behavior regarding when a mapping can be reused + differs for different NATs as described in [BEHAVE-UDP]. + + Consider an internal IP address and TCP port (X:x) that initiates a + TCP connection to an external (Y1:y1) tuple. Let the mapping + allocated by the NAT for this connection be (X1':x1'). Shortly + thereafter, the endpoint initiates a connection from the same (X:x) + to an external address (Y2:y2) and gets the mapping (X2':x2') on the + NAT. As per [BEHAVE-UDP], if (X1':x1') equals (X2':x2') for all + values of (Y2:y2), then the NAT is defined to have "Endpoint- + Independent Mapping" behavior. If (X1':x1') equals (X2':x2') only + when Y2 equals Y1, then the NAT is defined to have "Address-Dependent + Mapping" behavior. If (X1':x1') equals (X2':x2') only when (Y2:y2) + equals (Y1:y1), possible only for consecutive connections to the same + external address shortly after the first is terminated and if the NAT + retains state for connections in TIME_WAIT state, then the NAT is + defined to have "Address and Port-Dependent Mapping" behavior. This + document introduces one additional behavior where (X1':x1') never + equals (X2':x2'), that is, for each connection a new mapping is + allocated; in such a case, the NAT is defined to have "Connection- + Dependent Mapping" behavior. + + REQ-1: A NAT MUST have an "Endpoint-Independent Mapping" behavior + for TCP. + + Justification: REQ-1 is necessary for UNSAF methods to work. + Endpoint-Independent Mapping behavior allows peer-to-peer + applications to learn and advertise the external IP address and + port allocated to an internal endpoint such that external peers + can contact it (subject to the NAT's security policy). The + security policy of a NAT is independent of its mapping behavior + and is discussed later in Section 4.3. Having Endpoint- + Independent Mapping behavior allows peer-to-peer applications to + work consistently without compromising the security benefits of + the NAT. + +4.2. Internally Initiated Connections + + An internal endpoint initiates a TCP connection through a NAT by + sending a SYN packet. The NAT allocates (or reuses) a mapping for + the connection, as described in the previous section. The mapping + defines the external IP address and port used for translation of all + packets for that connection. In particular, for client-server + + + +Guha, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 5] + +RFC 5382 NAT TCP Requirements October 2008 + + + applications where an internal client initiates the connection to an + external server, the mapping is used to translate the outbound SYN, + the resulting inbound SYN-ACK response, the subsequent outbound ACK, + and other packets for the connection. This method of connection + initiation corresponds to the 3-way handshake (defined in [RFC0793]) + and is supported by all NATs. + + Peer-to-peer applications use an alternate method of connection + initiation termed simultaneous-open (Fig. 8, [RFC0793]) to traverse + NATs. In the simultaneous-open mode of operation, both peers send + SYN packets for the same TCP connection. The SYN packets cross in + the network. Upon receiving the other end's SYN packet, each end + responds with a SYN-ACK packet, which also cross in the network. The + connection is considered established once the SYN-ACKs are received. + From the perspective of the NAT, the internal host's SYN packet is + met by an inbound SYN packet for the same connection (as opposed to a + SYN-ACK packet during a 3-way handshake). Subsequent to this + exchange, both an outbound and an inbound SYN-ACK are seen for the + connection. Some NATs erroneously block the inbound SYN for the + connection in progress. Some NATs block or incorrectly translate the + outbound SYN-ACK. Such behavior breaks TCP simultaneous-open and + prevents peer-to-peer applications from functioning correctly behind + a NAT. + + In order to provide network address translation service for TCP, it + is necessary for a NAT to correctly receive, translate, and forward + all packets for a connection that conform to valid transitions of the + TCP State-Machine (Fig. 6, [RFC0793]). + + REQ-2: A NAT MUST support all valid sequences of TCP packets + (defined in [RFC0793]) for connections initiated both internally + as well as externally when the connection is permitted by the NAT. + In particular: + a) In addition to handling the TCP 3-way handshake mode of + connection initiation, A NAT MUST handle the TCP simultaneous- + open mode of connection initiation. + + Justification: The intent of this requirement is to allow standards + compliant TCP stacks to traverse NATs no matter what path the + stacks take through the TCP state-machine and no matter which end + initiates the connection as long as the connection is permitted by + the filtering policy of the NAT (filtering policy is described in + the following section). + a) In addition to TCP packets for a 3-way handshake, A NAT must be + prepared to accept an inbound SYN and an outbound SYN-ACK for + an internally initiated connection in order to support + simultaneous-open. + + + + +Guha, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 6] + +RFC 5382 NAT TCP Requirements October 2008 + + +4.3. Externally Initiated Connections + + The NAT allocates a mapping for the first connection initiated by an + internal endpoint to an external endpoint. In some scenarios, the + NAT's policy may allow this mapping to be reused for connections + initiated from the external side to the internal endpoint. Consider + as before an internal IP address and port (X:x) that is assigned (or + reuses) a mapping (X1':x1') when it initiates a connection to an + external (Y1:y1). An external endpoint (Y2:y2) attempts to initiate + a connection with the internal endpoint by sending a SYN to + (X1':x1'). A NAT can choose to either allow the connection to be + established, or to disallow the connection. If the NAT chooses to + allow the connection, it translates the inbound SYN and routes it to + (X:x) as per the existing mapping. It also translates the SYN-ACK + generated by (X:x) in response and routes it to (Y2:y2), and so on. + Alternately, the NAT can disallow the connection by filtering the + inbound SYN. + + A NAT may allow an existing mapping to be reused by an externally + initiated connection if its security policy permits. Several + different policies are possible as described in [BEHAVE-UDP]. If a + NAT allows the connection initiation from all (Y2:y2), then it is + defined to have "Endpoint-Independent Filtering" behavior. If the + NAT allows connection initiations only when Y2 equals Y1, then the + NAT is defined to have "Address-Dependent Filtering" behavior. If + the NAT allows connection initiations only when (Y2:y2) equals + (Y1:y1), then the NAT is defined to have "Address and Port-Dependent + Filtering" behavior (possible only shortly after the first connection + has been terminated but the mapping is still active). One additional + filtering behavior defined in this document is when the NAT does not + allow any connection initiations from the external side; in such + cases, the NAT is defined to have "Connection-Dependent Filtering" + behavior. The difference between "Address and Port-Dependent + Filtering" and "Connection-Dependent Filtering" behavior is that the + former permits an inbound SYN during the TIME_WAIT state of the first + connection to initiate a new connection while the latter does not. + + REQ-3: If application transparency is most important, it is + RECOMMENDED that a NAT have an "Endpoint-Independent Filtering" + behavior for TCP. If a more stringent filtering behavior is most + important, it is RECOMMENDED that a NAT have an "Address-Dependent + Filtering" behavior. + a) The filtering behavior MAY be an option configurable by the + administrator of the NAT. + b) The filtering behavior for TCP MAY be independent of the + filtering behavior for UDP. + + + + + +Guha, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 7] + +RFC 5382 NAT TCP Requirements October 2008 + + + Justification: The intent of this requirement is to allow peer-to- + peer applications that do not always initiate connections from the + internal side of the NAT to continue to work in the presence of + NATs. This behavior also allows applications behind a BEHAVE + compliant NAT to inter-operate with remote endpoints that are + behind non-BEHAVE compliant (legacy) NATs. If the remote + endpoint's NAT does not have Endpoint-Independent Mapping behavior + but has only one external IP address, then an application can + still traverse the combination of the two NATs if the local NAT + has Address-Dependent Filtering. Section 9 contains a detailed + discussion on the security implications of this requirement. + + If the inbound SYN packet is filtered, either because a corresponding + mapping does not exist or because of the NAT's filtering behavior, a + NAT has two basic choices: to ignore the packet silently, or to + signal an error to the sender. Signaling an error through ICMP + messages allows the sender to quickly detect that the SYN did not + reach the intended destination. Silently dropping the packet, on the + other hand, allows applications to perform simultaneous-open more + reliably. + + Silently dropping the SYN aids simultaneous-open as follows. + Consider that the application is attempting a simultaneous-open and + the outbound SYN from the internal endpoint has not yet crossed the + NAT (due to network congestion or clock skew between the two + endpoints); this outbound SYN would otherwise have created the + necessary mapping at the NAT to allow translation of the inbound SYN. + Since the outbound SYN did not reach the NAT in time, the inbound SYN + cannot be processed. If a NAT responds to the premature inbound SYN + with an error message that forces the external endpoint to abandon + the connection attempt, it hinders applications performing a TCP + simultaneous-open. If instead the NAT silently ignores the inbound + SYN, the external endpoint retransmits the SYN after a TCP timeout. + In the meantime, the NAT creates the mapping in response to the + (delayed) outbound SYN such that the retransmitted inbound SYN can be + routed and simultaneous-open can succeed. The downside to this + behavior is that in the event the inbound SYN is erroneous, the + remote side does not learn of the error until after several TCP + timeouts. + + NAT support for simultaneous-open as well as quickly signaling errors + are both important for applications. Unfortunately, there is no way + for a NAT to signal an error without forcing the endpoint to abort a + potential simultaneous-open: TCP RST and ICMP Port Unreachable + packets require the endpoint to abort the attempt while the ICMP Host + and Network Unreachable errors may adversely affect other connections + to the same host or network [RFC1122]. + + + + +Guha, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 8] + +RFC 5382 NAT TCP Requirements October 2008 + + + In addition, when an unsolicited SYN is received by the NAT, the NAT + may not know whether the application is attempting a simultaneous- + open (and that it should therefore silently drop the SYN) or whether + the SYN is in error (and that it should notify the sender). + + REQ-4: A NAT MUST NOT respond to an unsolicited inbound SYN packet + for at least 6 seconds after the packet is received. If during + this interval the NAT receives and translates an outbound SYN for + the connection the NAT MUST silently drop the original unsolicited + inbound SYN packet. Otherwise, the NAT SHOULD send an ICMP Port + Unreachable error (Type 3, Code 3) for the original SYN, unless + REQ-4a applies. + a) The NAT MUST silently drop the original SYN packet if sending a + response violates the security policy of the NAT. + + Justification: The intent of this requirement is to allow + simultaneous-open to work reliably in the presence of NATs as well + as to quickly signal an error in case the unsolicited SYN is in + error. As of writing this memo, it is not possible to achieve + both; the requirement therefore represents a compromise. The NAT + should tolerate some delay in the outbound SYN for a TCP + simultaneous-open, which may be due to network congestion or loose + synchronization between the endpoints. If the unsolicited SYN is + not part of a simultaneous-open attempt and is in error, the NAT + should endeavor to signal the error in accordance with [RFC1122]. + a) There may, however, be reasons for the NAT to rate-limit or + omit such error notifications, for example, in the case of an + attack. Silently dropping the SYN packet when under attack + allows simultaneous-open to work without consuming any extra + network bandwidth or revealing the presence of the NAT to + attackers. Section 9 mentions the security considerations for + this requirement. + + For NATs that combine NAT functionality with end-host functionality + (e.g., an end-host that also serves as a NAT for other hosts behind + it), REQ-4 above applies only to SYNs intended for the NAT'ed hosts + and not to SYNs intended for the NAT itself. One way to determine + whether the inbound SYN is intended for a NAT'ed host is to allocate + NAT mappings from one port range, and allocate ports for local + endpoints from a different non-overlapping port range. More dynamic + implementations can be imagined. + + + + + + + + + + +Guha, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 9] + +RFC 5382 NAT TCP Requirements October 2008 + + +5. NAT Session Refresh + + A NAT maintains state associated with in-progress and established + connections. Because of this, a NAT is susceptible to a resource- + exhaustion attack whereby an attacker (or virus) on the internal side + attempts to cause the NAT to create more state than for which it has + resources. To prevent such an attack, a NAT needs to abandon + sessions in order to free the state resources. + + A common method that is applicable only to TCP is to preferentially + abandon sessions for crashed endpoints, followed by closed TCP + connections and partially open connections. A NAT can check if an + endpoint for a session has crashed by sending a TCP keep-alive packet + and receiving a TCP RST packet in response. If the NAT cannot + determine whether the endpoint is active, it should not abandon the + session until the TCP connection has been idle for some time. Note + that an established TCP connection can stay idle (but live) + indefinitely; hence, there is no fixed value for an idle-timeout that + accommodates all applications. However, a large idle-timeout + motivated by recommendations in [RFC1122] can reduce the chances of + abandoning a live session. + + A TCP connection passes through three phases: partially open, + established, and closing. During the partially open phase, endpoints + synchronize initial sequence numbers. The phase is initiated by the + first SYN for the connection and extends until both endpoints have + sent a packet with the ACK flag set (TCP states: SYN_SENT and + SYN_RCVD). ACKs in both directions mark the beginning of the + established phase where application data can be exchanged + indefinitely (TCP states: ESTABLISHED, FIN_WAIT_1, FIN_WAIT_2, and + CLOSE_WAIT). The closing phase begins when both endpoints have + terminated their half of the connection by sending a FIN packet. + Once FIN packets are seen in both directions, application data can no + longer be exchanged, but the stacks still need to ensure that the FIN + packets are received (TCP states: CLOSING and LAST_ACK). + + TCP connections can stay in established phase indefinitely without + exchanging any packets. Some end-hosts can be configured to send + keep-alive packets on such idle connections; by default, such keep- + alive packets are sent every 2 hours if enabled [RFC1122]. + Consequently, a NAT that waits for slightly over 2 hours can detect + idle connections with keep-alive packets being sent at the default + rate. TCP connections in the partially open or closing phases, on + the other hand, can stay idle for at most 4 minutes while waiting for + in-flight packets to be delivered [RFC1122]. + + + + + + +Guha, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 10] + +RFC 5382 NAT TCP Requirements October 2008 + + + The "established connection idle-timeout" for a NAT is defined as the + minimum time a TCP connection in the established phase must remain + idle before the NAT considers the associated session a candidate for + removal. The "transitory connection idle-timeout" for a NAT is + defined as the minimum time a TCP connection in the partially open or + closing phases must remain idle before the NAT considers the + associated session a candidate for removal. TCP connections in the + TIME_WAIT state are not affected by the "transitory connection idle- + timeout". + + REQ-5: If a NAT cannot determine whether the endpoints of a TCP + connection are active, it MAY abandon the session if it has been + idle for some time. In such cases, the value of the "established + connection idle-timeout" MUST NOT be less than 2 hours 4 minutes. + The value of the "transitory connection idle-timeout" MUST NOT be + less than 4 minutes. + a) The value of the NAT idle-timeouts MAY be configurable. + + Justification: The intent of this requirement is to minimize the + cases where a NAT abandons session state for a live connection. + While some NATs may choose to abandon sessions reactively in + response to new connection initiations (allowing idle connections + to stay up indefinitely in the absence of new initiations), other + NATs may choose to proactively reap idle sessions. In cases where + the NAT cannot actively determine if the connection is alive, this + requirement ensures that applications can send keep-alive packets + at the default rate (every 2 hours) such that the NAT can + passively determine that the connection is alive. The additional + 4 minutes allows time for in-flight packets to cross the NAT. + + NAT behavior for handling RST packets, or connections in TIME_WAIT + state is left unspecified. A NAT MAY hold state for a connection in + TIME_WAIT state to accommodate retransmissions of the last ACK. + However, since the TIME_WAIT state is commonly encountered by + internal endpoints properly closing the TCP connection, holding state + for a closed connection may limit the throughput of connections + through a NAT with limited resources. [RFC1337] describes hazards + associated with TIME_WAIT assassination. + + The handling of non-SYN packets for connections for which there is no + active mapping is left unspecified. Such packets may be received if + the NAT silently abandons a live connection, or abandons a connection + in TIME_WAIT state before the 4 minute TIME_WAIT period expires. The + decision to either silently drop such packets or to respond with a + TCP RST packet is left up to the implementation. + + + + + + +Guha, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 11] + +RFC 5382 NAT TCP Requirements October 2008 + + + NAT behavior for notifying endpoints when abandoning live connections + is left unspecified. When a NAT abandons a live connection, for + example due to a timeout expiring, the NAT MAY either send TCP RST + packets to the endpoints or MAY silently abandon the connection. + + Sending a RST notification allows endpoint applications to recover + more quickly; however, notifying the endpoints may not always be + possible if, for example, session state is lost due to a power + failure. + +6. Application Level Gateways + + Application Level Gateways (ALGs) in certain NATs modify IP addresses + and TCP ports embedded inside application protocols. Such ALGs may + interfere with UNSAF methods or protocols that try to be NAT-aware + and must therefore be used with extreme caution. + + REQ-6: If a NAT includes ALGs that affect TCP, it is RECOMMENDED + that all of those ALGs (except for FTP [RFC0959]) be disabled by + default. + + Justification: The intent of this requirement is to prevent ALGs + from interfering with UNSAF methods. The default state of an FTP + ALG is left unspecified because of legacy concerns: as of writing + this memo, a large fraction of legacy FTP clients do not enable + passive (PASV) mode by default and require an ALG to traverse + NATs. + +7. Other Requirements Applicable to TCP + + A list of general and UDP-specific NAT behavioral requirements are + described in [BEHAVE-UDP]. A list of ICMP-specific NAT behavioral + requirements are described in [BEHAVE-ICMP]. The requirements listed + below reiterate the requirements from these two documents that + directly affect TCP. The following requirements do not relax any + requirements in [BEHAVE-UDP] or [BEHAVE-ICMP]. + +7.1. Port Assignment + + NATs that allow different internal endpoints to simultaneously use + the same mapping are defined in [BEHAVE-UDP] to have a "Port + assignment" behavior of "Port overloading". Such behavior is + undesirable, as it prevents two internal endpoints sharing the same + mapping from establishing simultaneous connections to a common + external endpoint. + + REQ-7: A NAT MUST NOT have a "Port assignment" behavior of "Port + overloading" for TCP. + + + +Guha, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 12] + +RFC 5382 NAT TCP Requirements October 2008 + + + Justification: This requirement allows two applications on the + internal side of the NAT to consistently communicate with the same + destination. + + NAT behavior for preserving the source TCP port range for connections + is left unspecified. Some applications expect the source TCP port to + be in the well-known range (TCP ports from 0 to 1023). The "r" + series of commands (rsh, rcp, rlogin, etc.) are an example. NATs + that preserve the range from which the source port is picked allow + such applications to function properly through the NAT; however, by + doing so the NAT may compromise the security of the application in + certain situations; applications that depend only on the IP address + and source TCP port range for security (the "r" commands, for + example) cannot distinguish between an attacker and a legitimate user + behind the same NAT. + +7.2. Hairpinning Behavior + + NATs that forward packets originating from an internal address, + destined for an external address that matches the active mapping for + an internal address, back to that internal address are defined in + [BEHAVE-UDP] as supporting "hairpinning". If the NAT presents the + hairpinned packet with an external source IP address and port (i.e., + the mapped source address and port of the originating internal + endpoint), then it is defined to have "External source IP address and + port" for hairpinning. Hairpinning is necessary to allow two + internal endpoints (known to each other only by their external mapped + addresses) to communicate with each other. "External source IP + address and port" behavior for hairpinning avoids confusing + implementations that expect the external source IP address and port. + + REQ-8: A NAT MUST support "hairpinning" for TCP. + a) A NAT's hairpinning behavior MUST be of type "External source + IP address and port". + + Justification: This requirement allows two applications behind the + same NAT that are trying to communicate with each other using + their external addresses. + a) Using the external source address and port for the hairpinned + packet is necessary for applications that do not expect to + receive a packet from a different address than the external + address they are trying to communicate with. + +7.3. ICMP Responses to TCP Packets + + Several TCP mechanisms depend on the reception of ICMP error messages + triggered by the transmission of TCP segments. One such mechanism is + path MTU discovery [RFC1191], which is required for the correct + + + +Guha, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 13] + +RFC 5382 NAT TCP Requirements October 2008 + + + operation of TCP. The current path MTU discovery mechanism requires + the sender of TCP segments to be notified of ICMP "Datagram Too Big" + responses. + + REQ-9: If a NAT translates TCP, it SHOULD translate ICMP Destination + Unreachable (Type 3) messages. + + Justification: Translating ICMP Destination Unreachable messages, + particularly the "Fragmentation Needed and Don't Fragment was Set" + (Type 3, Code 4) message avoids communication failures ("black + holes" [RFC2923]). Furthermore, TCP's connection establishment + and maintenance mechanisms also behave much more efficiently when + ICMP Destination Unreachable messages arrive in response to + outgoing TCP segments. + + REQ-10: Receipt of any sort of ICMP message MUST NOT terminate the + NAT mapping or TCP connection for which the ICMP was generated. + + Justification: This is necessary for reliably performing TCP + simultaneous-open where a remote NAT may temporarily signal an + ICMP error. + +8. Requirements + + A NAT that supports all of the mandatory requirements of this + specification (i.e., the "MUST") and is compliant with [BEHAVE-UDP], + is "compliant with this specification". A NAT that supports all of + the requirements of this specification (i.e., included the + "RECOMMENDED") and is fully compliant with [BEHAVE-UDP] is "fully + compliant with all the mandatory and recommended requirements of this + specification". + + REQ-1: A NAT MUST have an "Endpoint-Independent Mapping" behavior + for TCP. + + REQ-2: A NAT MUST support all valid sequences of TCP packets + (defined in [RFC0793]) for connections initiated both internally + as well as externally when the connection is permitted by the NAT. + In particular: + a) In addition to handling the TCP 3-way handshake mode of + connection initiation, A NAT MUST handle the TCP simultaneous- + open mode of connection initiation. + + REQ-3: If application transparency is most important, it is + RECOMMENDED that a NAT have an "Endpoint-Independent Filtering" + behavior for TCP. If a more stringent filtering behavior is most + important, it is RECOMMENDED that a NAT have an "Address-Dependent + Filtering" behavior. + + + +Guha, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 14] + +RFC 5382 NAT TCP Requirements October 2008 + + + a) The filtering behavior MAY be an option configurable by the + administrator of the NAT. + b) The filtering behavior for TCP MAY be independent of the + filtering behavior for UDP. + + REQ-4: A NAT MUST NOT respond to an unsolicited inbound SYN packet + for at least 6 seconds after the packet is received. If during + this interval the NAT receives and translates an outbound SYN for + the connection the NAT MUST silently drop the original unsolicited + inbound SYN packet. Otherwise, the NAT SHOULD send an ICMP Port + Unreachable error (Type 3, Code 3) for the original SYN, unless + REQ-4a applies. + a) The NAT MUST silently drop the original SYN packet if sending a + response violates the security policy of the NAT. + + REQ-5: If a NAT cannot determine whether the endpoints of a TCP + connection are active, it MAY abandon the session if it has been + idle for some time. In such cases, the value of the "established + connection idle-timeout" MUST NOT be less than 2 hours 4 minutes. + The value of the "transitory connection idle-timeout" MUST NOT be + less than 4 minutes. + a) The value of the NAT idle-timeouts MAY be configurable. + + REQ-6: If a NAT includes ALGs that affect TCP, it is RECOMMENDED + that all of those ALGs (except for FTP [RFC0959]) be disabled by + default. + + The following requirements reiterate requirements from [BEHAVE-UDP] + or [BEHAVE-ICMP] that directly affect TCP. This document does not + relax any requirements in [BEHAVE-UDP] or [BEHAVE-ICMP]. + + REQ-7: A NAT MUST NOT have a "Port assignment" behavior of "Port + overloading" for TCP. + + REQ-8: A NAT MUST support "hairpinning" for TCP. + a) A NAT's hairpinning behavior MUST be of type "External source + IP address and port". + + REQ-9: If a NAT translates TCP, it SHOULD translate ICMP Destination + Unreachable (Type 3) messages. + + REQ-10: Receipt of any sort of ICMP message MUST NOT terminate the + NAT mapping or TCP connection for which the ICMP was generated. + + + + + + + + +Guha, et al. Best Current Practice [Page 15] + +RFC 5382 NAT TCP Requirements October 2008 + + +9. Security Considerations + + [BEHAVE-UDP] discusses security considerations for NATs that handle + IP and unicast UDP traffic. Security concerns specific to handling + TCP packets are discussed in this section. + + Security considerations for REQ-1: This requirement does not + introduce any TCP-specific security concerns. + + Security considerations for REQ-2: This requirement does not + introduce any TCP-specific security concerns. Simultaneous-open + and other transitions in the TCP state machine are by-design and + necessary for TCP to work correctly in all scenarios. Further, + this requirement only affects connections already in progress as + authorized by the NAT in accordance with its policy. + + Security considerations for REQ-3: The security provided by the NAT + is governed by its filtering behavior as addressed in + [BEHAVE-UDP]. Connection-Dependent Filtering behavior is most + secure from a firewall perspective, but severely restricts + connection initiations through a NAT. Endpoint-Independent + Filtering behavior, which is most transparent to applications, + requires an attacker to guess the IP address and port of an active + mapping in order to get his packet to an internal host. Address- + Dependent Filtering, on the other hand, is less transparent than + Endpoint-Independent Filtering but more transparent than + Connection-Dependent Filtering; it is more secure than Endpoint- + Independent Filtering as it requires an attacker to additionally + guess the address of the external endpoint for a NAT session + associated with the mapping and be able to receive packets + addressed to the same. While this protects against most attackers + on the Internet, it does not necessarily protect against attacks + that originate from behind a remote NAT with a single IP address + that is also translating a legitimate connection to the victim. + + Security considerations for REQ-4: This document recommends that a + NAT respond to unsolicited inbound SYN packets with an ICMP error + delayed by a few seconds. Doing so may reveal the presence of a + NAT to an external attacker. Silently dropping the SYN makes it + harder to diagnose network problems and forces applications to + wait for the TCP stack to finish several retransmissions before + reporting an error. An implementer must therefore understand and + carefully weigh the effects of not sending an ICMP error or rate- + limiting such ICMP errors to a very small number. + + + + + + + +Guha, et al.

Two categories today: + +- **Printers.** The standing rule is "don't test printers."

Both of these +also had a symmetric sibling that _was_ caught -- the first-half bound, the non-exhaustion arm -- +and that asymmetry is usually the clearest evidence that an invariant rather than a gap is doing +the work. + +Two of eleven survivors across that exercise were equivalent. A procedure that only knows how to +demand more tests would have produced two entrenching tests instead. + +## Cost + +Measured on `dataplane-net`: 2,271 mutants, about 4.5s to build and 7.6s to test each, four at a +time. Call it two hours for one crate. The dominant cost is re-running the package's whole test +suite per mutant, not the build -- the builds are incremental cargo in a scratch copy of the tree, +nothing to do with nix. + +That rules out running it per pull request in full. Two modes make sense: + +- `--in-diff` on a branch, when you want to know whether what you just wrote is tested. +- A full sweep on a schedule -- a weekly job on an otherwise idle runner, finishing before Monday. + +## The weekly report (to be written) + +The job should produce two artifacts from the same run: + +- **JSON**, for tooling and for agents to read directly. +- **HTML**, grouped by file and function, with the mutated source line inline and clusters sorted by + size. A bare list of `file:line: replace X with Y` is not triage-able away from the source; the + `protocol.rs` cluster was obvious as a chapter precisely because it was twenty-three lines in one + function. + +Post it to a GitHub issue weekly. + +**The product is the delta, not the score.** The absolute count barely moves week to week and tells +you nothing on a Monday morning. What is worth reading is the difference against last week: + +- mutants that **newly survive** -- usually code that landed without properties, or a change that + weakened a test which used to cover something. This catches a case `--in-diff` cannot: the mutant + is in untouched code, and the regression is in this week's change to its test. +- survivors that **disappeared** -- progress, and which work did it. + +## The release gate: classify, do not eliminate + +The gate should be that **every mutant is classified**, not that every mutant is killed. Some are +extremely hard to kill and that is fine. Buckets: + +- **Accepted** -- equivalent mutants, or code where a test would assert nothing useful.

A mutant that survives is a change to the code that claims to implement the +requirement which the test that claims to check it does not notice. + +The unit is a (requirement, implementation, test) triple, not a file. `cargo mutants -f ` +answers a weaker question -- "is this file tested" -- and buries the signal: the RFC 4884 finding +below was four mutants among the 125 that `embedded.rs` generates. + +### Three tiers, cheapest first + +Each catches what the one below it cannot, and running them in this order is what keeps the +expensive one affordable. + +1. **Coverage** -- `cargo llvm-cov` over the cited region, running only the cited tests. Answers + "did the test go there at all". Seconds. +2. **Mutation** -- `cargo mutants` over the same region, same tests. Answers "did it care". Minutes. +3. **Judgement** -- a person. Answers "is this the right sentence, on the right code, and is this + survivor equivalent". Not automatable, and the sections below are what it has to work with. + +Coverage runs first because it can settle the question outright: a cited test that executes **no** +line of the cited region cannot be testing the requirement, and there is no reason to build a +mutant to confirm it. + +It must not become a threshold. A caught mutant was necessarily executed, so coverage adds nothing +wherever mutation already succeeds -- only zero is decisive, and only as an error. Anything above +zero is used to _explain_ a survivor rather than to judge one, which is the split below. + +### Outcomes + +| | meaning | +| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | +| **held** | every mutant in the cited region was caught, or accepted with a reason | +| **decorative** | a mutant survived unaccounted for | +| **uncovered** | the cited tests execute none of the cited region | +| **no-mutants** | the region produced nothing testable -- usually every mutant unviable | +| **stale** | the cited test name matches no test; the citation has rotted | + +`no-mutants` is not a pass. Reporting it as one would credit a citation for a check that never +ran, which is the failure the tool exists to catch. `stale` exists because it is the tool's own +worst failure mode: a renamed test makes the filter match nothing, nextest exits 0 having run +nothing, every mutant survives, and a citation that is merely out of date is reported as +decorative. The test names are checked against `cargo nextest list` before any mutant runs. + +The same hazard has now appeared three times -- `stale`, `no-mutants`, and a coverage collection +that failed silently and returned an empty map, which reads as "nothing was executed" and +relabelled every survivor. **A measurement that fails silently reads as a measurement that +succeeded.** Every step here reports its own failure as a distinct outcome for that reason. + +### Why a mutant survived + +A survivor has two possible causes needing opposite fixes, and mutation alone cannot tell them +apart. Coverage of the mutated line does: + +| | meaning | the fix | +| ------------- | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | +| **unreached** | the cited tests never ran that line | change what the test **feeds** | +| **tolerated** | they ran it and passed anyway | change what it **asserts** -- or it is equivalent | + +Splitting the ten survivors on RFC 4787 REQ-3 by hand took longer than the run that found them. + +### Accepted mutants + +Some survivors are equivalent, and the cheapest way to turn one green is to assert whatever the +code already does -- the entrenchment [mutation testing](./mutation-testing.md) warns about, +arrived at from the other direction. `scripts/spec-interlock.ts` therefore carries an `ACCEPTED` +list: a requirement, a mutant, and a reason. + +Two rules keep it from becoming a way of not looking. An accept is **printed in full on every +run**, next to the finding it replaced. And an accept that matches no live mutant is a **failure**, +because a stale one reads as a considered judgement while silently covering whatever takes that +name next. + +Both current entries are upstream invariants rather than gaps, and both were settled the same way: +read the code, then apply the mutant by hand and run the whole crate's suite. That is the shape of +the argument to expect. + +### What it found, first time out + +Seven requirements carried both an implementation and a test. duvet reported all seven green. +**Three actually held.** Closing the other four is recorded below, because what each one turned +out to be is more useful than the count. + +| finding | what it really was | +| --------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | +| RFC 4884, "at least 128 octets" | a genuine test gap, in two ways | +| RFC 4787 REQ-2, "pooling: Paired" | an equivalent mutant | +| RFC 4787 REQ-3 / RFC 5382 REQ-7 | a citation on the wrong code, then on the wrong test | + +**RFC 4884 -- a real gap, on the path where the original defect was.** The test iterated +`[120, 124]`, so `<` versus `<=` at the boundary was invisible: 128 itself was never tested. +Worse, the citation sat on **both** the ICMPv4 and ICMPv6 branches and there was no v6 fixture at +all, so three of the v6 branch's mutants had nothing to catch them. The RFC 4884 fix had been +applied to both branches and tested on one. Closed by taking the boundary from both sides in both +families. + +**RFC 4787 REQ-2 -- not a defect.** `replace match guard e.is_exhaustion() with true` survives, +and is equivalent: `reuse_allocated_ip` skips `NoFreePort` and loops, so from a well-formed pool +it can only return `NoFreeIp`, which _is_ exhaustion. Accepted with that reasoning. + +**RFC 4787 REQ-3 / RFC 5382 REQ-7 -- wrong twice over, and the most instructive.** The citation +sat on `allocate_v4`, which only forwards; every mutant of it was unviable, so the interlock could +not check the citation at all. Moving it to `Bitmap256::allocate_port_from_bitmap` -- the bit that +marks a port used, and the narrowest thing whose mutation would violate either requirement -- made +it checkable, and it immediately failed with ten survivors. + +Coverage said seven of those were **unreached**: the cited stage-level property draws a handful of +ports, so it never fills a 256-port block and never enters the second half of the bitmap. One of +the seven replaced the bit that marks a port used, which is port overloading itself. + +And the fix was **no new test**. `a_region_can_be_allocated_dry` already walks two address ranges +dry asserting no tuple is handed out twice; it simply was not cited. Adding the citation killed +nine. The tenth was an invariant and is accepted. + +### What that costs to believe + +Three things generalise, and all three are invisible to duvet: + +- **A citation can be on the wrong code.** REQ-3 pointed at a forwarding wrapper for as long as it + existed. `no-mutants` is the only signal that catches this, which is why it is not a pass. +- **A citation can be on the right code and name the wrong test.** The requirement was fully + tested, by a good test, that nobody had cited. duvet cannot see this at all: it checks that a + `type=test` citation exists, not that the test it names is the one doing the work. +- **A requirement can need more than one cited test, at different altitudes.** The stage-level + property states port overloading where it is observable -- two flows, one reply path. The + exhaustion walk reaches the code that would commit it. Neither is sufficient; both are cited. + +## Where a citation goes, and what that costs an abstraction + +The rule is one sentence: **cite the narrowest region whose mutation would violate the +requirement.** + +It is worth stating because the obvious alternative -- cite the function whose name matches the +requirement -- is what produced the RFC 4787 REQ-3 result above, and because there is a live +worry that a citation model tied to source regions will end up penalising delegation, generics +and macros. Measured, it mostly does not, and where it does the constraint is narrow. + +### Generics and traits: no cost + +Trait default bodies and generic functions mutate normally, and one citation on them covers +every instantiation. `net/src/checksum.rs` is the worked example: the `Checksum` trait's provided +methods carry the RFC 1624 incremental-update arithmetic, and the mutants land exactly on it +(`delete !`, `replace >> with <<`). Its low mutant density -- 3.1 per 100 lines against 12.0 for +`ipv4/mod.rs` -- is signatures without bodies, not logic that got away. + +This is an argument _for_ abstraction. A requirement implemented once behind a generic needs one +citation and one test. The RFC 4884 finding above is what the alternative costs: lines 259 and +290 of `embedded.rs` are the same check written twice, once for ICMPv4 and once for ICMPv6, and +the v6 copy went untested and uncaught. Duplication is what hid it. + +### Delegation: cite the delegate, and mind the return type + +Two separate things, which the REQ-3 result ran together. + +A thin forwarding function is the wrong place to cite because it decides nothing -- the +requirement lives in what it forwards to. That is the real error in the REQ-3 citation: +`allocate_v4` forwards to `allocate_from_tables`, which is shared by v4 and v6 and is where one +citation would cover both. + +Its mutants being _unviable_ is a different problem with a different cause. cargo-mutants +replaces a function body with a synthesised return value, so whether it can mutate a function at +all depends on how hard that type is to fabricate. +`Result>, AllocatorError>` defeats it; a delegating +function returning `bool` mutates fine. So an unviable region is not evidence of over-abstraction +-- it is evidence that nothing there was checkable, whatever the reason. + +### Macros: a real blind spot, and the one rule worth keeping + +cargo-mutants generates **nothing** for macro-generated code. Probed directly: + +```rust +macro_rules! bounded { ($name:ident, $min:expr) => { + pub fn $name(len: usize) -> bool { len >= $min } +}; } +bounded!(at_least_128, 128); // zero mutants -- the boundary cannot be broken +pub fn concrete(len: usize) -> bool { len >= 128 } // three mutants +``` + +The `>=` in the macro is exactly the boundary class that RFC 4884 got wrong, and it is +unreachable by mutation and therefore by the interlock. + +That is narrower than "macros are a problem". In this tree the separation already holds: the +protocol logic a specification constrains is written directly and mutates well -- `tcp/mod.rs` +15.3 mutants per 100 lines, `icmp6/mod.rs` 14.6, `ipv4/mod.rs` 12.0 -- while the macro-heavy +files are the combinator and accessor layer, `headers/view.rs` at 1.5 and `headers/pat.rs` at +2.1, which no RFC has an opinion about. No requirement cited today sits in a macro body. + +So the rule is not "avoid macros". It is: **do not put a normative decision inside a macro +body.** Generate the plumbing; write the comparison the specification names. If that is ever too +expensive, the fallback is the `contract::` pattern -- lift the decision into a `Requirement` +predicate the macro calls, which is ordinary mutable code with a citation on it. + +## Do not cite a composite BCP + +The worst failure found, because it exits 0 and reports a plausible number. + +209 of 239 BCP entries in the mirror are symlinks to a single RFC and are harmless. The other 27 are +concatenations, and **BCP 127 is one of them**: RFC 4787 + RFC 6888 + RFC 7857 in one file. + +| | requirements | +| -------------------------------------------- | ------------ | +| `bcp127.txt` | **42** | +| RFC 4787 + 6888 + 7857, extracted separately | **129** | + +duvet keys requirements by section anchor, and each member document has its own `section-5`, so the +last document in the concatenation wins. RFC 6888 loses all three of its sections; RFC 4787 loses +eight of thirteen, including section 5, _NAT Session Refresh_, where the UDP timeout requirements +live. No warning is emitted. + +Always cite the individual RFC. The composites remain useful as a **membership oracle** -- "BCP 127 +now contains an RFC we do not track" is the cheapest available drift alarm, and it is a `grep` over +27 files rather than something duvet has to parse. + +## Synthesizing requirements for a non-conforming specification + +duvet accepts a Markdown specification (`-f markdown`), and this is the intended route for RFC 8200 +and RFC 3022: restate their lowercase obligations in RFC 2119 form, in-repo, as a separate +`[[specification]]`. + +The mechanism cooperates. Section anchors are heading slugs rather than numbers, so the composite +collision cannot occur, and the prose around a requirement is carried into the emitted TOML as a +comment, so a derivation note travels with it. + +**The hazard is that this is the one place the method can certify itself.** duvet's value is that +the quoted unit is a sentence somebody else wrote. Once we author the specification we control both +sides of the match, and the path of least resistance is to write the requirement the code already +satisfies -- the same entrenchment failure as mutation testing, moved up a level and much harder to +see, because the result looks like compliance with RFC 8200. + +Rules, therefore: + +- Every synthesized requirement quotes its **source sentence verbatim**, adjacent to it. +- A synthesized requirement may **never be more specific** than the sentence it derives from. +- Where the original is genuinely ambiguous, that ambiguity **is the finding**. Record both readings + for a human; do not resolve it into one confident restatement. +- Review is by somebody who reads the original. A reviewer looking only at our Markdown cannot catch + the failure this is guarding against. + +## Errata + +An RFC body is immutable, so a correction to one lives only in its errata. The corpus carries them +in `inline-errata/`: 1,750 RFCs rendered as HTML with their **Verified** errata spliced into the +text, the corrected passage wrapped in `` and an endnote block +giving the EID, section, original text, corrected text and notes. + +Only Verified errata are inlined -- all 1,750 renderings say so in their header, and no other status +appears. `RFCs_for_errata.txt` names 2,584 RFCs, so **847 have errata that this corpus never shows +you**: Reported, Held for Document Update, or Rejected. That is the residual fetch leg, and it is a +much smaller one than it looked. + +**Use the file, not the index.** Ten RFCs have renderings and are absent from +`RFCs_for_errata.txt` -- among them RFC 1191, Path MTU Discovery. Every one was verified after the +index's own timestamp, so the index is stale in one direction only: it never lists a spurious RFC, +it just misses recent ones. The presence or absence of `inline-errata/rfcNNNN.html` is authoritative +for "has Verified errata"; the index is authoritative for nothing. + +What that says about the specifications in play: + +| | errata | +| ------------------------------------------------ | ------------------ | +| RFC 4787, RFC 5382, RFC 5508, RFC 6888, RFC 7857 | none of any status | +| RFC 4884 | one, EID 3 | + +**EID 3 does not touch us.** It corrects Section 7's description of the ICMP Extension Header +checksum from "the one's complement sum of the data structure" to "...of the ICMP Extension +Structure" -- naming what was already unambiguous from context. The sentence carries no RFC 2119 +keyword, so duvet never extracted it: the two requirements it does extract from Section 7 are a +`MAY` about ignoring unrecognised objects and a `MUST` about the reassembly buffer size, and neither +is edited. Nothing in the tree parses an extension structure or verifies its checksum; every RFC +4884 citation we hold is in Section 3 or Section 5, on the length attribute. So +`MIN_ORIGINAL_DATAGRAM_OCTETS` was decided against text the erratum leaves alone. + +**Read the endnotes, do not diff the body.** In 524 of the 1,750 renderings an erratum has an +endnote but no spliced-in span, because its "Original Text" is not a verbatim quote the renderer +could locate -- it is a `GLOBAL` scope, or a prose commentary rather than a passage. RFC 8200 is one +of them. Diffing a rendering against the base text therefore under-reports; the endnote list is the +complete one. + +Two errata on specifications we have discussed but do not track are worth having read: + +- **RFC 2663 EID 400** corrects Section 2.6 from "segments containing FINs or SYNs will be the last + packets of the session" to "FINs or **RSTs**" -- the original sentence was nonsense, since a SYN + never ends a session. Corrected, it is a warning against exactly what masquerade does: we + invalidate the pair the moment `next_flow_status` returns `Reset` or `Closed`, and RFC 2663 says a + NAT cannot assume no retransmission follows. **This is not a defect.** RFC 5382 revisits the same + question and leaves it to us -- "NAT behavior for handling RST packets, or connections in + TIME_WAIT state is left unspecified", with an explicit `MAY` to hold state and an explicit note + that holding it "may limit the throughput of connections through a NAT with limited resources". + We took the throughput side. The erratum is what makes that a decision rather than an oversight. +- **RFC 8200 EID 5945** rewrites Section 4.5 from the three-part fragmentation model back to the + two-part model of RFC 2460, dropping the "Extension & Upper-Layer Headers" division. It concerns + source fragmentation, which this dataplane does not perform, so it is recorded and not acted on. + +**The vendored specification stays the base text.** `.duvet/specifications/` must hold what duvet +would fetch, or the quotes stop matching and the vendoring stops being a drop-in for the network. +Errata are checked alongside it, not merged into it. + +## Which specifications apply to us + +A first enumeration, from what the tree already names: every `RFC ####` mention in a `.rs` file, +mapped to the crate that makes it. It is a lower bound -- it finds specifications somebody has +already thought about, not ones nobody has -- but it is evidence rather than recollection, and it +is a `grep` to regenerate. + +Twenty-eight RFCs, of which three are tracked. + +| RFC | crates | note | +| ---------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | +| 8200 (IPv6) | `net` | **46 mentions, the most in the tree, and duvet cannot parse it** -- 0 uppercase keywords, 79 lowercase.

Extending compliance tracking to the whole codebase + is therefore mostly a _synthesis_ problem, not a configuration problem, and synthesis is the part + of this method with a hazard attached. +- **The cheap wins are still in NAT.** RFC 5508 is duvet-friendly, on-topic, and one config edit + from being tracked. +- **Most crates have no external specification at all.** `lpm`, `acl`, `flow-filter`, `config`, + `mgmt` and roughly thirty others implement internal semantics. duvet has nothing to say about + them; bolero and cargo-mutants have everything to say. Whether to synthesize in-repo + specifications for them is deliberately still open -- see the scoping question below. + +## Open questions + +Expected to expand. Nothing here is scheduled. + +1. ~~**Which RFCs apply to us at all.**~~ A first pass is above. What remains is the harder half: + the specifications that constrain us and that nothing in the tree mentions. +2. **Which of those are not RFC 2119 conforming**, and so need synthesis per the section above. + RFC 8200 is the known case and the most consequential one. +3. ~~**Is a citation true?**~~ Built; see [the interlock](#is-a-citation-true-the-interlock). All + seven cited requirements hold, which means the tool currently has nothing to say and its next + real test is the next citation somebody writes. What remains is whether it becomes a gate: + seven minutes for seven requirements is too slow per pull request over everything, but + `--only` on a changed citation is cheap, and `uncovered` is now reachable without building a + single mutant. +4. **Errata.** Mostly settled; see [Errata](#errata) below. What remains is the 847 RFCs whose + errata exist but are not Verified, for which the corpus holds no body. None of them is tracked + today; RFC 4443 and RFC 3022 are both in that set and both plausible future targets. +5. **How the corpus is pinned** -- a git mirror, or `oras` into ghcr.io behind `npins`. Sizing: the + metadata that drives every drift alarm (indexes, `bcp/`, `std/`) is 5MB; the 232MB is RFC bodies, + of which we cite perhaps ten. Text gzips about 4:1. +6. **Two alarms, not one.** RFC bodies are immutable, so a diff in `rfc5382.txt` means a rerender or + a corrupt mirror: rare and loud. A new erratum, a new `updated_by`, a new BCP member is expected + churn: a routine pull request. Collapsing both into "the pin moved" trains people to rubber-stamp + it. The corpus has a `rerendered/` directory precisely because the first case is real. +7. **A scoping policy, before the first large specification lands.** Adding STUN drops 200 uncited + requirements into the snapshot in one commit; QUIC would add 522. Without a rule for scoping + _within_ a specification the report becomes wallpaper on the day it gets interesting -- the same + lesson as "do not test printers" and "classify, do not eliminate". +8. ~~**Should the snapshot be a blocking gate?**~~ Yes, and it is: `just duvet-check`. The snapshot + had drifted two commits after being introduced, which settled the argument -- a + regenerate-by-hand rule is one nobody runs. What remains is wiring it into CI. +9. **A coverage report analogous to the existing ones**, so that specification coverage is read the + same way as line and mutant coverage. + +## Operational notes + +- **`//=` is duvet's citation marker.** Banner comments of the form `//======== Fib ========//` are + parsed as citations and produce errors; `routing/src/cli/display.rs` needed a space inserted after + the slashes. +- **Everything under `.duvet/` is committed except `reports/`.** `duvet report` reads the + specification from `.duvet/specifications/` and only reaches the network when it is missing, so + vendoring the text is what lets the report run in a nix build sandbox. Verified offline under + `unshare -rn`. +- **The mirror is a drop-in for the network fetch.** Text pulled by rsync is byte-identical to what + duvet fetches from rfc-editor.org, and re-extraction produces identical requirements apart from + the `target` line. +- **`see_also` is empty** in the per-RFC JSON, so the RFC-to-BCP mapping has to come from the `bcp/` + symlinks or the index files, not the metadata. +- **`-n.json`** in the corpus is an all-null artifact of the mirror. It parses, so it will not crash + a loader, but anything iterating the JSON should skip a null `doc_id`. + +[duvet]: https://awslabs.github.io/duvet/ diff --git a/flow-entry/Cargo.toml b/flow-entry/Cargo.toml index c0bd08e621..e76663374b 100644 --- a/flow-entry/Cargo.toml +++ b/flow-entry/Cargo.toml @@ -16,6 +16,7 @@ bolero = ["dep:bolero", "net/bolero"] [dependencies] ahash = { workspace = true, features = ["no-rng"] } bolero = { workspace = true, optional = true } +clock = { workspace = true } common = { workspace = true } concurrency = { workspace = true } dashmap = { workspace = true, features = ["raw-api"] } @@ -29,6 +30,7 @@ tracectl = { workspace = true } tracing = { workspace = true } [dev-dependencies] +clock = { workspace = true, features = ["virtual"] } bolero = { workspace = true, default-features = false } net = { workspace = true, features = ["bolero"] } tokio = { workspace = true, features = ["macros", "rt", "test-util", "time"] } diff --git a/flow-entry/src/flow_table/concurrent_fuzz.rs b/flow-entry/src/flow_table/concurrent_fuzz.rs index 9a757cd6b7..78924a974e 100644 --- a/flow-entry/src/flow_table/concurrent_fuzz.rs +++ b/flow-entry/src/flow_table/concurrent_fuzz.rs @@ -49,12 +49,12 @@ use concurrency::sync::atomic::{AtomicU8, Ordering}; use concurrency::sync::{Arc, Weak}; use concurrency::thread; // `spawn_scoped` is inherent on std's `Builder`, but supplied by `BuilderExt` under shuttle +use clock::Duration; #[cfg_attr(not(feature = "shuttle"), allow(unused_imports))] use concurrency::thread::BuilderExt; use net::FlowKey; use net::flows::{ExtractRef, FlowInfo, FlowInfoFlags}; use std::fmt; -use std::time::{Duration, Instant}; /// Stub [`FlowInfoItem`] payload: a single `Arc` that all flows /// share within one scenario.
