 IP Version 6 over PPP
Status of This Memo
 This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
 Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
 improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
 Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
 and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
Abstract
 The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a standard method of
 encapsulating network-layer protocol information over point-to-point
 links. PPP also defines an extensible Link Control Protocol, and
 proposes a family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for
 establishing and configuring different network-layer protocols.
 This document defines the method for sending IPv6 packets over PPP
 links, the NCP for establishing and configuring the IPv6 over PPP,
 and the method for forming IPv6 link-local addresses on PPP links.
 It also specifies the conditions for performing Duplicate Address
 Detection on IPv6 global unicast addresses configured for PPP links
 either through stateful or stateless address autoconfiguration.
 This document obsoletes RFC 2472.

1. Introduction
 PPP has three main components:
 1) A method for encapsulating datagrams over serial links.
 2) A Link Control Protocol (LCP) for establishing, configuring, and
 testing the data-link connection.
 3) A family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing and
 configuring different network-layer protocols.
 In order to establish communications over a point-to-point link, each
 end of the PPP link must first send LCP packets to configure and test
 the data link. After the link has been established and optional
 facilities have been negotiated as needed by the LCP, PPP must send
 NCP packets to choose and configure one or more network-layer
 protocols. Once each of the chosen network-layer protocols has been
 configured, datagrams from each network-layer protocol can be sent
 over the link.
 In this document, the NCP for establishing and configuring the IPv6
 over PPP is referred to as the IPv6 Control Protocol (IPV6CP).
 The link will remain configured for communications until explicit LCP
 or NCP packets close the link down, or until some external event
 occurs (power failure at the other end, carrier drop, etc.).
 This document obsoletes the earlier specification from RFC 2472 [7].
 Changes from RFC 2472 are listed in Appendix B.
1.1. Specification of Requirements
 In this document, several words are used to signify the requirements
 of the specification.
 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 [6].
2. Sending IPv6 Datagrams
 Before any IPv6 packets may be communicated, PPP MUST reach the
 network-layer protocol phase, and the IPv6 Control Protocol MUST
 reach the Opened state.
 Exactly one IPv6 packet is encapsulated in the Information field of
 PPP Data Link Layer frames where the Protocol field indicates Type
 hex 0057 (Internet Protocol Version 6).
 The maximum length of an IPv6 packet transmitted over a PPP link is
 the same as the maximum length of the Information field of a PPP data
 link layer frame. PPP links supporting IPv6 MUST allow the
 information field to be at least as large as the minimum link MTU
 size required for IPv6 [2].
3. A PPP Network Control Protocol for IPv6
 The IPv6 Control Protocol (IPV6CP) is responsible for configuring,
 enabling, and disabling the IPv6 protocol modules on both ends of the
 point-to-point link. IPV6CP uses the same packet exchange mechanism
 as the LCP. IPV6CP packets may not be exchanged until PPP has
 reached the network-layer protocol phase. IPV6CP packets that are
 received before this phase is reached should be silently discarded.
 The IPv6 Control Protocol is exactly the same as the LCP [1] with the
 following exceptions:
 Data Link Layer Protocol Field
 Exactly one IPV6CP packet is encapsulated in the Information
 field of PPP Data Link Layer frames where the Protocol field
 indicates type hex 8057 (IPv6 Control Protocol).
 Code field
 Only Codes 1 through 7 (Configure-Request, Configure-Ack,
 Configure-Nak, Configure-Reject, Terminate-Request, Terminate-
 Ack and Code-Reject) are used. Other Codes should be treated
 as unrecognized and should result in Code-Rejects.
 Timeouts
 IPV6CP packets may not be exchanged until PPP has reached the
 network-layer protocol phase. An implementation should be
 prepared to wait for Authentication and Link Quality
 Determination to finish before timing out waiting for a
 Configure-Ack or other response. It is suggested that an
 implementation give up only after user intervention or a
 configurable amount of time.
 Configuration Option Types
 IPV6CP has a distinct set of Configuration Options.
4. IPV6CP Configuration Options
 IPV6CP Configuration Options allow negotiation of desirable IPv6
 parameters. IPV6CP uses the same Configuration Option format defined
 for LCP [1] but with a separate set of Options. If a Configuration
 Option is not included in a Configure-Request packet, the default
 value for that Configuration Option is assumed.
 Up-to-date values of the IPV6CP Option Type field are specified in
 the online database of "Assigned Numbers" maintained at IANA [9].
 The current value assignment is as follows:
 1 Interface-Identifier
 The only IPV6CP option defined in this document is the interface
 identifier. Any other IPV6CP configuration options that can be
 defined over time are to be defined in separate documents.
4.1. Interface Identifier
 Description
 This Configuration Option provides a way to negotiate a unique, 64-
 bit interface identifier to be used for the address autoconfiguration
 [3] at the local end of the link (see Section 5). A Configure-
 Request MUST contain exactly one instance of the interface-identifier
 option [1]. The interface identifier MUST be unique within the PPP
 link; i.e., upon completion of the negotiation, different interface-
 identifier values are to be selected for the ends of the PPP link.
 The interface identifier may also be unique over a broader scope.
 Before this Configuration Option is requested, an implementation
 chooses its tentative interface identifier. The non-zero value of
 the tentative interface identifier SHOULD be chosen such that the
 value is unique to the link and, preferably, consistently
 reproducible across initializations of the IPV6CP finite state
 machine (administrative Close and reOpen, reboots, etc.). The
 rationale for preferring a consistently reproducible unique interface
 identifier to a completely random interface identifier is to provide
 stability to global scope addresses (see Appendix A) that can be
 formed from the interface identifier.
 Assuming that interface identifier bits are numbered from 0 to 63 in
 canonical bit order, where the most significant bit is the bit number
 0, the bit number 6 is the "u" bit (universal/local bit in IEEE
 EUI-64 [4] terminology), which indicates whether or not the interface
 identifier is based on a globally unique IEEE identifier (EUI-48 or
 EUI-64 [4])(see case 1 below). It is set to one (1) if a globally
 unique IEEE identifier is used to derive the interface identifier,
 and it is set to zero (0) otherwise.
 The following are methods for choosing the tentative interface
 identifier in the preference order:
 1) If an IEEE global identifier (EUI-48 or EUI-64) is available
 anywhere on the node, it should be used to construct the tentative
 interface identifier due to its uniqueness properties. When
 extracting an IEEE global identifier from another device on the
 node, care should be taken that the extracted identifier is
 presented in canonical ordering [14].
 The only transformation from an EUI-64 identifier is to invert the
 "u" bit (universal/local bit in IEEE EUI-64 terminology).
 For example, for a globally unique EUI-64 identifier of the form:
 most-significant least-significant
 bit bit
 |0 1|1 3|3 4|4 6|
 |0 5|6 1|2 7|8 3|
 +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
 |cccccc0gcccccccc|cccccccceeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|
 +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
 where "c" are the bits of the assigned company_id, "0" is the
 value of the universal/local bit to indicate global scope, "g" is
 the group/individual bit, and "e" are the bits of the extension
 identifier, the IPv6 interface identifier would be of the form:
 most-significant least-significant
 bit bit
 |0 1|1 3|3 4|4 6|
 |0 5|6 1|2 7|8 3|
 +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
 |cccccc1gcccccccc|cccccccceeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|
 +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
 The only change is inverting the value of the universal/local bit.
 In the case of a EUI-48 identifier, it is first converted to the
 EUI-64 format by inserting two bytes, with hexa-decimal values of
 0xFF and 0xFE, in the middle of the 48-bit MAC (between the
 company_id and extension identifier portions of the EUI-48 value).
 For example, for a globally unique 48-bit EUI-48 identifier of the
 form:
 most-significant least-significant
 bit bit
 |0 1|1 3|3 4|
 |0 5|6 1|2 7|
 +----------------+----------------+----------------+
 |cccccc0gcccccccc|cccccccceeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|
 +----------------+----------------+----------------+
 where "c" are the bits of the assigned company_id, "0" is the
 value of the universal/local bit to indicate global scope, "g" is
 the group/individual bit, and "e" are the bits of the extension
 identifier, the IPv6 interface identifier would be of the form:
 most-significant least-significant
 bit bit
 |0 1|1 3|3 4|4 6|
 |0 5|6 1|2 7|8 3|
 +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
 |cccccc1gcccccccc|cccccccc11111111|11111110eeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|
 +----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
 2) If an IEEE global identifier is not available, a different source
 of uniqueness should be used. Suggested sources of uniqueness
 include link-layer addresses, machine serial numbers, et cetera.
 In this case, the "u" bit of the interface identifier MUST be set
 to zero (0).
 3) If a good source of uniqueness cannot be found, it is recommended
 that a random number be generated. In this case, the "u" bit of
 the interface identifier MUST be set to zero (0).
 Good sources [1] of uniqueness or randomness are required for the
 interface identifier negotiation to succeed. If neither a unique
 number nor a random number can be generated, it is recommended that a
 zero value be used for the interface identifier transmitted in the
 Configure-Request. In this case, the PPP peer may provide a valid
 non-zero interface identifier in its response as described below.
 Note that if at least one of the PPP peers is able to generate
 separate non-zero numbers for itself and its peer, the identifier
 negotiation will succeed.
 When a Configure-Request is received with the Interface-Identifier
 Configuration Option and the receiving peer implements this option,
 the received interface identifier is compared with the interface
 identifier of the last Configure-Request sent to the peer. Depending
 on the result of the comparison, an implementation MUST respond in
 one of the following ways:
 If the two interface identifiers are different but the received
 interface identifier is zero, a Configure-Nak is sent with a non-zero
 interface-identifier value suggested for use by the remote peer.
 Such a suggested interface identifier MUST be different from the
 interface identifier of the last Configure-Request sent to the peer.
 It is recommended that the value suggested be consistently
 reproducible across initializations of the IPV6CP finite state
 machine (administrative Close and reOpen, reboots, etc). The "u"
 (universal/local) bit of the suggested identifier MUST be set to zero
 (0) regardless of its source unless the globally unique EUI-48/EUI-64
 derived identifier is provided for the exclusive use by the remote
 peer.
 If the two interface identifiers are different and the received
 interface identifier is not zero, the interface identifier MUST be
 acknowledged, i.e., a Configure-Ack is sent with the requested
 interface identifier, meaning that the responding peer agrees with
 the interface identifier requested.
 If the two interface identifiers are equal and are not zero,
 Configure-Nak MUST be sent specifying a different non-zero
 interface-identifier value suggested for use by the remote peer. It
 is recommended that the value suggested be consistently reproducible
 across initializations of the IPV6CP finite state machine
 (administrative Close and reOpen, reboots, etc). The "u"
 (universal/local) bit of the suggested identifier MUST be set to zero
 (0) regardless of its source unless the globally unique EUI-48/EUI-64
 derived identifier is provided for the exclusive use by the remote
 peer.
 If the two interface identifiers are equal to zero, the interface
 identifier's negotiation MUST be terminated by transmitting the
 Configure-Reject with the interface-identifier value set to zero. In
 this case, a unique interface identifier cannot be negotiated.
 If a Configure-Request is received with the Interface-Identifier
 Configuration Option and the receiving peer does not implement this
 option, Configure-Reject is sent.
 A new Configure-Request SHOULD NOT be sent to the peer until normal
 processing would cause it to be sent (that is, until a Configure-Nak
 is received or the Restart timer runs out [1]).
 A new Configure-Request MUST NOT contain the interface-identifier
 option if a valid Interface-Identifier Configure-Reject is received.
 Reception of a Configure-Nak with a suggested interface identifier
 different from that of the last Configure-Nak sent to the peer
 indicates a unique interface identifier. In this case, a new
 Configure-Request MUST be sent with the identifier value suggested in
 the last Configure-Nak from the peer. But if the received interface
 identifier is equal to the one sent in the last Configure-Nak, a new
 interface identifier MUST be chosen. In this case, a new Configure-
 Request SHOULD be sent with the new tentative interface identifier.
 This sequence (transmit Configure-Request, receive Configure-Request,
 transmit Configure-Nak, receive Configure-Nak) might occur a few
 times, but it is extremely unlikely to occur repeatedly. More
 likely, the interface identifiers chosen at either end will quickly
 diverge, terminating the sequence.
 If negotiation of the interface identifier is required, and the peer
 did not provide the option in its Configure-Request, the option
 SHOULD be appended to a Configure-Nak. The tentative value of the
 interface identifier given must be acceptable as the remote interface
 identifier; i.e., it should be different from the identifier value
 selected for the local end of the PPP link. The next Configure-
 Request from the peer may include this option. If the next
 Configure-Request does not include this option, the peer MUST NOT
 send another Configure-Nak with this option included. It should
 assume that the peer's implementation does not support this option.
 By default, an implementation SHOULD attempt to negotiate the
 interface identifier for its end of the PPP connection.
 A summary of the Interface-Identifier Configuration Option format is
 shown below. The fields are transmitted from left to right.

 Interface-Identifier
 The 64-bit interface identifier, which is very likely to be
 unique on the link, or zero if a good source of uniqueness
 cannot be found.
 Default
 If no valid interface identifier can be successfully
 negotiated, no default interface-identifier value should be
 assumed. The procedures for recovering from such a case are
 unspecified. One approach is to manually configure the
 interface identifier of the interface.
5. Stateless Autoconfiguration and Link-Local Addresses
 The interface identifier of IPv6 unicast addresses [5] of a PPP
 interface SHOULD be negotiated in the IPV6CP phase of the PPP
 connection setup (see Section 4.1). If no valid interface identifier
 has been successfully negotiated, procedures for recovering from such
 a case are unspecified. One approach is to manually configure the
 interface identifier of the interface.
 The negotiated interface identifier is used by the local end of the
 PPP link to autoconfigure an IPv6 link-local unicast address for the
 PPP interface. However, it SHOULD NOT be assumed that the same
 interface identifier is used in configuring global unicast addresses
 for the PPP interface using IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration
 [3]. The PPP peer MAY generate one or more interface identifiers,
 for instance, using a method described in [8], to autoconfigure one
 or more global unicast addresses.
 As long as the interface identifier is negotiated in the IPV6CP phase
 of the PPP connection setup, it is redundant to perform duplicate
 address detection (DAD) as a part of the IPv6 Stateless Address
 Autoconfiguration protocol [3] on the IPv6 link-local address
 generated by the PPP peer. It may also be redundant to perform DAD
 on any global unicast addresses configured (using an interface
 identifier that is either negotiated during IPV6CP or generated, for
 instance, as per [8]) for the interface as part of the IPv6 Stateless
 Address Autoconfiguration protocol [3] provided that the following
 two conditions are met:
 1) The prefixes advertised through the Router Advertisement
 messages by the access router terminating the PPP link are
 exclusive to the PPP link.
 2) The access router terminating the PPP link does not
 autoconfigure any IPv6 global unicast addresses from the
 prefixes that it advertises.
 Therefore, it is RECOMMENDED that for PPP links with the IPV6CP
 interface-identifier option enabled and satisfying the aforementioned
 two conditions, the default value of the DupAddrDetectTransmits
 autoconfiguration variable [3] is set to zero by the system
 management. 3GPP2 networks are an example of a technology that uses
 PPP to enable a host to obtain an IPv6 global unicast address and
 satisfies the aforementioned two conditions [10]. 3GPP networks are
 another example ([11] [13]).
 Link-local addresses
 Link-local addresses of PPP interfaces have the following format:
 | 10 bits | 54 bits | 64 bits |
 +----------+------------------------+-----------------------------+
 |1111111010| 0 | Interface-Identifier |
 +----------+------------------------+-----------------------------+
 The most significant 10 bits of the address is the Link-Local prefix
 FE80::. 54 zero bits pad out the address between the Link-Local
 prefix and the interface-identifier fields.
6. Security Considerations
 Lack of link security, such as authentication, trigger the security
 concerns raised in [3] when the stateless address autoconfiguration
 method is employed for the generation of global unicast IPv6
 addresses out of interface identifiers that are either negotiated
 through the IPV6CP or generated, for instance, using a method
 described in [8]. Thus, the mechanisms that are appropriate for
 ensuring PPP link security are addressed below, together with the
 reference to a generic threat model.
 The mechanisms that are appropriate for ensuring PPP link Security
 are: 1) Access Control Lists that apply filters on traffic received
 over the link for enforcing admission policy, 2) an Authentication
 protocol that facilitates negotiations between peers [15] to select
 an authentication method (e.g., MD5 [16]) for validation of the peer,
 and 3) an Encryption protocol that facilitates negotiations between
 peers to select encryption algorithms (or crypto-suites) to ensure
 data confidentiality [17].
 There are certain threats associated with peer interactions on a PPP
 link even with one or more of the above security measures in place.
 For instance, using the MD5 authentication method [16] exposes one to
 replay attack, where an attacker could intercept and replay a
 station's identity and password hash to get access to a network. The
 user of this specification is advised to refer to [15], which
 presents a generic threat model, for an understanding of the threats
 posed to the security of a link. The reference [15] also gives a
 framework to specify requirements for the selection of an
 authentication method for a given application.
7. IANA Considerations
 The IANA has assigned value 1 for the Type field of the IPv6 datagram
 interface-identifier option specified in this document. The current
 assignment is up-to-date at [9].

Appendix A: Global Scope Addresses
 A node on the PPP link creates global unicast addresses either
 through stateless or stateful address autoconfiguration mechanisms.
 In the stateless address autoconfiguration [3], the node relies on
 sub-net prefixes advertised by the router via the Router
 Advertisement messages to obtain global unicast addresses from an
 interface identifier. In the stateful address autoconfiguration, the
 host relies on a Stateful Server, like DHCPv6 [12], to obtain global
 unicast addresses.
Appendix B: Changes from RFC 2472
 The following changes were made from RFC 2472 "IPv6 over PPP":
 - Minor updates to Sections 3 and 4
 - Updated the text in Section 4.1 to include the reference to
 Appendix A and minor text clarifications.
 - Removed Section 4.2 on IPv6-Compression-Protocol based on IESG
 recommendation, and created a new standards-track document to
 cover negotiation of the IPv6 datagram compression protocol using
 IPV6CP.
 - Updated the text in Section 5 to: (a) allow the use of one or more
 interface identifiers generated by a peer, in addition to the use
 of interface identifier negotiated between peers of the link, in
 the creation of global unicast addresses for the local PPP
 interface, and (b) identify cases against the DAD of created non-
 link-local addresses.
 - Added new and updated references.
