RFC 4993 Lightweight UDP Transfer Protocol for IRIS August 2007 1. Introduction Using Straightforward Name Authority Pointers (S-NAPTR) [4], IRIS has the ability to define the use of multiple application transports or transfer protocols for different types of registry services, all at the discretion of the server operator. The UDP transfer protocol defined in this document is completely independent of the registry types for which it can carry data. The binding of this UDP transfer protocol to IRIS is called IRIS-LWZ (for IRIS Lightweight using Compression). Its message exchange pattern is simple: a client sends a request in one UDP packet, and a server responds with an answer in one UDP packet. IRIS-LWZ packets are composed of two parts, a binary payload descriptor and a request/response transaction payload. The request/ response transaction payload may be compressed using the DEFLATE [1] algorithm. 2. Document 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 RFC 2119 [6]. Octet fields with numeric values are given according to the conventions in RFC 1166 [10]: the leftmost bit of the whole field is the most significant bit; when a multi-octet quantity is transmitted the most significant octet is transmitted first. Bits signifying flags in an octet are numbered according to the conventions of RFC 1166 [10]: bit 0 is the most significant bit and bit 7 is the least significant bit. When a diagram describes a group of octets, the order of transmission for the octets starts from the left. Newton Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 4993 Lightweight UDP Transfer Protocol for IRIS August 2007 3. Packet Format The packet format for IRIS-LWZ is as follows: +------------+---------+ field | payload | payload | | descriptor | | +------------+---------+ octets 3 or 6..261* 0..n * In request packets, the payload descriptor can vary in length from 6 to 261 octets (i.e., 6..261). In response packets, the payload descriptor is always 3 octets. IRIS-LWZ Packet Each IRIS-LWZ query or response is contained in a single UDP packet. Servers MUST be prepared to accept packets as large as 4000 octets, and clients MUST NOT send packets larger than 4000 octets. 3.1. Payload Descriptor The payload descriptor has two different formats, one for a request and one for a response. However, each format shares a common 1-octet payload header described in Section 3.1.3. 3.1.1. Payload Request Descriptor The payload descriptor for request packets varies from 6 to 261 octets in length and has the following format: +--------+-------------+----------+-----------+-----------+ field | header | transaction | maximum | authority | authority | | | ID | response | length | | | | | length | | | +--------+-------------+----------+-----------+-----------+ octets 1 2 2 1 0..255 Request Payload Descriptor These fields have the following meanings: o header - as described in Section 3.1.3. o transaction ID - a 16-bit value identifying the transaction. This value will be returned in the payload response descriptor (Section 3.1.2) and can be used by clients to match requests with Newton Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 4993 Lightweight UDP Transfer Protocol for IRIS August 2007 responses. Clients SHOULD NOT use sequential values (see Section 8). Clients MUST NOT set all the bits in this value to 1 (i.e., use a value of 0xFFFF). o maximum response length - the total length of the UDP packet (i.e., UDP header length + payload descriptor length + XML payload length) that should not be exceeded when responding to this request. If the server cannot provide a response that is equal to or less than this value, then it MUST respond with size information (Section 3.1.6). o authority length - the length of the authority field in this payload descriptor. o authority - a string of octets describing the authority against which this request is to be executed. See [3] for the definition and description of an authority. The number of octets in this string MUST be no more and no less than the number specified by the authority length. 3.1.2. Payload Response Descriptor The payload descriptor for response packets is always 3 octets and consists of a payload header (Section 3.1.3) and a transaction ID. +--------+-------------+ field | header | transaction | | | ID | +--------+-------------+ octets 1 2 Payload Response Descriptor The purpose of the transaction ID is to allow clients to match requests to responses. A value of 0xFFFF is reserved for server use. The value of the transaction ID is as follows: 1. If the transaction ID in the corresponding request could not be read due to truncation, servers MUST use a transaction ID with all bits set to 1 (i.e., a value of OxFFFF) and send a descriptor error (see Section 3.1.7). 2. If the transaction ID in the corresponding request is a value of 0xFFFF, servers MUST use a transaction ID of 0xFFFF and send a descriptor error (see Section 3.1.7). 3. Otherwise, the transaction ID MUST be the value of the transaction ID of the corresponding request. Newton Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 4993 Lightweight UDP Transfer Protocol for IRIS August 2007 3.1.3. Payload Header The bits of the payload header are ordered according to RFC 1166 [10], where bit 0 is the most significant and bit 7 is the least significant. Each bit in the 1-octet payload header has the following meaning: o bits 0 and 1 - version number ('V' field) - If 0 (both bits are zero), the protocol is the version defined in this document. Otherwise, the rest of the bits in the header and the payload may be interpreted as another version. o bit 2 - request/response flag ('RR' flag) - If 0, this packet is a request (Section 3.1.1) packet. If 1, this packet is a response (Section 3.1.2) packet. o bits 3 - payload deflated ('PD' flag) - If 1, the payload is compressed using the DEFLATE [1] algorithm. o bit 4 - deflate supported ('DS' flag) - If 1, the sender of this packet supports compression using the DEFLATE algorithm. When this bit is 0 in a request, the payload of the response MUST NOT be compressed with DEFLATE. o bit 5 - reserved - This MUST be 0. o bits 6 and 7 - The value of these bits indicates payload types (Section 3.1.4) ('PT' field). 3.1.4. Payload Types A payload type indicates the type of content in the UDP packet following the payload descriptor. Some payload types have no meaning in request packets, and some payload types differ in meaning between requests and responses. Some payload types indicate an empty payload. The payload type values in binary are as follows: 00 - xml payload ('xml' type). The payload is either an IRIS- based XML request or an IRIS-based XML response. 01 - version info ('vi' type). In a request packet, this payload type indicates that the server is to respond with version information (Section 3.1.5), and that the payload is empty. In a response packet, this payload type indicates that the payload is version information (Section 3.1.5). Newton Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 4993 Lightweight UDP Transfer Protocol for IRIS August 2007 10 - size info ('si' type). This payload type has no meaning in a request packet and is a descriptor error. In a response packet, this payload type indicates that the payload is size information (Section 3.1.6). 11 - other info ('oi' type). This payload type has no meaning in a request packet and is a descriptor error. In a response packet, this payload type indicates that the payload is other information (Section 3.1.7). 3.1.5. Version Information A payload type with version information ('vi') MUST be conformant to the XML defined in [8] and use the <versions> element as the root element. In the context of IRIS-LWZ, the protocol identifiers for these elements are as follows: <transferProtocol> - the value "iris.lwz1" to indicate the protocol specified in this document. <application> - the XML namespace identifier for IRIS [3]. <dataModel> - the XML namespace identifier for IRIS registries. This document defines no extension identifiers and no authentication mechanism identifiers. Servers SHOULD send version information in the following cases: 1. In response to a version information request (i.e., the PT field is set to 'vi'). 2. The version in a payload descriptor header does not match a version the server supports. 3. The IRIS-based XML payload does not match a version the server supports. The protocols identified by the <transferProtocol> element MUST only indicate protocols running on the same socket as the sender of the corresponding response. In other words, while a server operator may also be running IRIS-XPC [9], this XML instance is only intended to describe version negotiation for IRIS-LWZ. Newton Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 4993 Lightweight UDP Transfer Protocol for IRIS August 2007 The octet size for the 'requestSizeOctets' and 'responseSizeOctets' attributes of the <tranferProtocol> element are defined in Section 3.1.6. 3.1.6. Size Information A payload type with size information ('si') MUST be conformant to the XML defined in [8] and use the <size> element as the root element. Octet counts provided by this information are defined as the total length of the UDP packet (i.e., UDP header length + payload descriptor length + XML payload length). 3.1.7. Other Information A payload type with other information ('oi') MUST be conformant to the XML defined in [8] and use the <other> element as the root element. The values for the 'type' attribute of <other> are as follows: 'descriptor-error' - indicates there was an error decoding the descriptor. Servers SHOULD send a descriptor error in the following cases: 1. When a request is received with a payload type indicating size information (i.e., the PT field is 'si'). 2. When a request is received with a payload type indicating other information (i.e., the PT field is 'oi'). 3. When a request is sent with a transaction ID of 0xFFFF (which is reserved for server use). 4. When a request is received with an incomplete or truncated payload descriptor. 5. When reserved bits in the payload descriptor are set to values other than zero. 'payload-error' - indicates there was an error interpreting the payload. Servers MUST send a payload error if they receive XML (i.e., the PT field is set to 'xml') and the XML cannot be parsed. 'system-error' - indicates that the receiver cannot process the request due to a condition not related to this protocol. Servers SHOULD send a system-error when they are capable of responding to requests but not capable of processing requests. Newton Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 4993 Lightweight UDP Transfer Protocol for IRIS August 2007 'authority-error' - indicates that the intended authority specified in the corresponding request is not served by the receiver. Servers SHOULD send an authority error when they receive a request directed to an authority other than those they serve. 'no-inflation-support-error' - indicates that the receiver does not support payloads that have been compressed with DEFLATE [1]. Servers MUST send this error when they receive a request that has been compressed with DEFLATE but they do not support inflation. 4. Interactions The intent of IRIS-LWZ is to utilize UDP for IRIS requests and responses when UDP is appropriate. Not all IRIS requests and responses will be able to utilize UDP and may require the use of other transfer protocols (i.e., IRIS-XPC [9] and/or Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol (BEEP)). The following strategy SHOULD be used: 1. If a request requires authentication, confidentiality, or other security, use another transfer protocol. IRIS-XPC [9] is RECOMMENDED. 2. The maximum packet size should be calculated as follows: a. If the path MTU is unknown, the maximum packet size MUST be 1500 octets. b. If the path MTU is known, the maximum packet size MUST NOT exceed the path MTU and MUST NOT exceed 4000 octets. 3. If a request is less than or equal to the maximum packet size, send it uncompressed. 4. If a request can be compressed to a size less than or equal to the maximum packet size, send the request using compression. Otherwise, use another transfer protocol. In cases where another transfer protocol is needed, IRIS-XPC [9] is RECOMMENDED. 5. If a request yields a size error, send the request with another transfer protocol. IRIS-XPC [9] is RECOMMENDED. For retransmission of requests considered to be unanswered, a client SHOULD retransmit using a timeout value initially set to 1 second. This timeout value SHOULD be doubled for every retransmission, and a client SHOULD NOT retransmit any request once the timeout value has reached 60 seconds. Newton Standards Track [Page 9]
RFC 4993 Lightweight UDP Transfer Protocol for IRIS August 2007 Clients that use timeout values other than the recommendations above MUST allocate or have allocated dedicated network resources that will ensure fairness to other network packets and avoid network congestion. Clients MUST NOT have more than one outstanding request (i.e., an unanswered request that has not timed out) at a time unless they allocate or have been allocated dedicated network bandwidth and resources reserved specifically for this purpose. Finally, if a client intends multiple requests to the same server in a short amount of time, this protocol offers no real advantage over IRIS-XPC [9]. In such a case, IRIS-XPC is RECOMMENDED to be used as it would be similarly or more efficient and would offer greater response sizes and allow better security. 5. Internationalization Considerations XML processors are obliged to recognize both UTF-8 and UTF-16 [2] encodings. Use of the XML defined by [8] MUST NOT use any other character encodings other than UTF-8 or UTF-16. 6.

RFC 4993 Lightweight UDP Transfer Protocol for IRIS August 2007 Author/Change controller: the IESG 8. Security Considerations IRIS-LWZ is intended for serving public data; it provides no in-band mechanisms for authentication or confidentiality. Any application with these needs must provide out-of-band mechanisms (e.g., IPsec), or use the IRIS transfer protocols that provide such capabilities, such as IRIS-XPC [9]. Due to this lack of security, it is possible for an attacker to alter IRIS-LWZ messages sent from the client to the server and from the server to the client. Such an attack can result in denying usage of an IRIS service or in supplying false information to end users and many other scenarios. Because IRIS-LWZ is a UDP-based protocol, it is possible for servers using IRIS-LWZ to be used in a type of distributed denial-of-service attack known as a reflection attack. This type of attack affects other types of UDP-using protocols, such as DNS. Server operators should be prepared to apply the same methods used for mitigating reflection attacks with other protocols, such as DNS, when using IRIS-LWZ. All operators should follow the advice given in BCP 38 [7]. IRIS-LWZ uses transaction IDs in the payload descriptors to better enable a client to match a response to a request. By randomizing the transaction IDs being used (i.e., not using sequential numbers), attackers flooding the network with a large amount of spoofed packets have a lesser chance of succeeding with the attack. This measure is not guaranteed to thwart any such attack. Client implementers MUST take appropriate measures when ignoring this advice. Newton Standards Track [Page 12]
