Hi,

after the last session at IETF-56 in San Francisco, somebody raised a 
concern with respect to the encryption method in the Session 
Establishment (SE) transaction.

I would be happy if these concerns could be raised again on the mailling 
list.

As far as I rember the concern was that carring encryption method 
information in the SE transaction is doubled work and should be left to 
an underlying protocol.

Thanks in advance
Martin

Hi all, 

I am new to this group.  Please direct me, if this is not the right forum to
be asked. 

My question is regarding instrumentation of read-create objects, RowStatus
and Agent Capabilities. 

Say a table has two columnar objects c1, c2 with read-create access in
addition to a ROWSTATUS object r1. 

1.  Should a row be created when a set request is received on one of the
columnar object (c1.<new instance>) with a non existing instance?  If a row
is created, what shall be the value of RowStatus object? 

2.  Can the RowStatus be partially implemented?  In the sense, for one of
the table that we designed it does not make sense to have all the RowStatus
values supported?  In such scenarios, can we implement this object
partially?  

3.  Can we change the AGENT-CAPABILITIES section in a standard MIB, if we
take deviations from the standard definitions? 

Please clarify me, 

Thanks and Regards
Mahesh

That is up to the MIB designer.  You can document the behavior you
want in the DESCRIPTION clause of the RowStatus column.  Some
RowStatus columns state that the RowStatus column MUST be set, others
stay that rows can be created without using the RowStatus column.  If
done without, it should be equivalent to a "createAndGo".

MAHESH> 2.  Can the RowStatus be partially implemented?  In the sense,

One of the common things to do these days is to not require the use of
createAndWait.  Thus, in the IPSEC-POLICY-MIB we recently wrote:

        OBJECT      ipspAutoIkeRowStatus
        SYNTAX      RowStatus {
                active(1), createAndGo(4), destroy(6)
        }
        DESCRIPTION
            "Support of the values notInService(2), notReady(3),
             and createAndWait(5) is not required."

mahesh> 3.  Can we change the AGENT-CAPABILITIES section in a standard
mahesh> MIB, if we take deviations from the standard definitions?

Not sure what the question is...

HI, List,

It seem the STUN client should know at least 2 SERVER addr to determine the
symmetric NAT, am I right?

It only needs to know one to start with - it sends a message to that and in
the response it finds out the other address.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Middlebox Communication Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: MIDCOM Protocol Semantics
	Author(s)	: M. Stiemerling et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-midcom-semantics-02.txt
	Pages		: 58
	Date		: 2003-5-15
	
This memo specifies semantics for a Middlebox Communication (MIDCOM)
protocol to be used by MIDCOM agents for interacting with
middleboxes, such as firewalls and NATs.  The semantics discussion
does not include any specification of a concrete syntax or a
transport protocol.  However, a concrete protocol is expected to
implement the specified semantics or - more probably - a superset of
it.  The MIDCOM protocol semantics is derived from the MIDCOM
requirements, from the MIDCOM framework, and from working group
decisions.

A URL for this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-midcom-semantics-02.txt

To remove yourself from the IETF Announcement list, send a message to 
ietf-announce-request with the word unsubscribe in the body of the message.

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
	"get draft-ietf-midcom-semantics-02.txt".

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in
http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html 
or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt


Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-midcom-semantics-02.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

To be clear, you don't need two servers either. The first server will 
return a new IP/port in the response. This can represent a different 
virtual interface on the same server.

  Hi,

here is the list of changes in draft-ietf-midcom-semantics-02.txt:
- IP wildcarding added in sectiom 2.3.5
- Security considerations
- Middlebox capabilities moved from SE section to section 2.1.6 
"Middlebox capabilties"
- Added a 'mode' parameter to PRR transaction. This supports middleboxes 
that provide traditional-NAT and twice-NAT in the same device and can 
switch between them on a per rule base
- Added a Policy List (PL) transaction. This transaction is similar to 
the GL transaction, but for policy rules. With PL an agent can explore 
easily the list of accessible policy rules.
- Removed the 'encryption' parameter from the SE transaction, since this 
is doubled work.
- Renamed the 'reply parameters (failure)' to 'failure reason' and moved 
components common to all failure replies into the transaction template 
in section 1.2.
- Simplified the session statement machine, i.e. failures in
- Some editoral text shaping

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Middlebox Communication Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: MIDCOM Protocol Semantics

This memo specifies semantics for a Middlebox Communication (MIDCOM)
protocol to be used by MIDCOM agents for interacting with
middleboxes, such as firewalls and NATs.  The semantics discussion
does not include any specification of a concrete syntax or a
transport protocol.  However, a concrete protocol is expected to
implement the specified semantics or - more probably - a superset of
it.  The MIDCOM protocol semantics is derived from the MIDCOM
requirements, from the MIDCOM framework, and from working group
decisions.

Hi,

since some sentences haven't made it completely into the email:
- Simplified the session statement machine, i.e. failed transaction do
   not result in the deletion of policy rule. The rule remains as is.
- PID reusing. The policy ID assigned in the PRR transaction is re-used
   by the middlebox as the policy ID in the PER transaction response.

Martin

I'd like to get the semantics document wrapped up and into
WG last call within the next couple of weeks.  If you look
at section 8 in the new draft you'll see that there are only
two open issues identified:

1) finish up security considerations, and
2) whether or not there should be specifiable resource
   limits for DOS resilience.

We also need to make sure that there's WG agreement on
what's in the rest of the document.  Please take a look at
the draft and raise any issues you find, and in particular
if someone could volunteer to help out with the security
section it would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Melinda

Dear all,

After working again on the semantics for some days,
I ran into a potential problem related to the point that
multiple agents may access the same policy rule on a middlebox.

An example scenario contains a 'regular' agent authorized
to access just the policies rules created by itself and an
'administrator' agent authorized to access all policies
created by any agent.

Another exampe contains be a 'regular' agent and a 'fail-over'
agent running stand-by until the regular one fails.

In both scenarios (and several others) it is possible that at a
time two or more agents have an open session with the middlebox
and there is a set of policy rules that both may access.

Let's now assume that an agent deletes a policy rule that is
also accessible to another agent with an open session. The agent
deleting the policy rule sends a request for deletion and gets
a successful reply. What happens with the other agent?

I think that according to requirement 2.1.5 (known and stable
state) the middlebox must send an ARD (Asynchronous Rule Deletion)
notification to the other agent in order to tell it that one of
the policies it can access was terminated.

IS THIS AGREED BY THE WORKING GROUP?

Consequences would be that:

  1. Everytime a policy rule is terminated, each agent with open
     sessions that can access this policy need to receive an
     individual notification about this event.

  2. Not just termiation of policy rules, but also creation and
     modification need to be reported to all these agents.
     Besides our ARD notification we would have to add one or
     more notifications to the semantics covering at least
     policy rule creation and lifetime change.

If we agree on this, here are suggestion for modifying the
semantics:

   - Replace the Asynchronous Policy Rule Deletion (ARD)
     transaction (that so far just indicated policy rule
     termination) by a more general Asynchronous Policy Rule
     Lifetime Event (ALE) notification that notifies the
     agent about
        - policy rule lifetime changes initiatd by other agents,
          indicating the new remaining lifetime,
        - policy rule termination by other agents, indicating a
          new remaining lifetime of zero,
        - policy rule termination by the middlebox, indicating a
          new remaining lifetime of zero,
        - regular policy rule termination by lifetime expiration,
          indicating the remaining lifetime of zero,

   - Add a new Asynchronous Policy Rule Creation (APC) transaction
     that indicates the new policy with all its properties to all
     agents in open sessions that did not create the policy rule
     but that can access it.

Hello,

I have some questions about STUN :

I would like to know why and how STUN does not adress outgoing =
communications as mentionned in the Section 14.1 of the RFC.

Once the client knows its public adress returned by the STUN Server, can =
it use it to send UDP communications ?
Am I right or wrong ?

Can somebody explain me=20
Many thanks and
Best regards,

If only that was the only question about Stun!!. While a lot of soft and
Hardphones do send and receive on the same port (both signalling and media
streams (although different port numbers for signalling and media of
course). Many sip phones do not.

There are significant security benefits by having traffic source and sink on
the same port, no to mention simpler network design.

The RFC (3261) is wide open to interpretation on this issue. Some phones
within the same SIP session use different transmit ports (e.g. when the SIP
re try timeout occurs the phone transmits from a new port!), some use
different ports for registration than for signalling etc etc. We have done
some extensive testing of SIP phones and would be glad to share what we've
found out. However its not documented in a form suitable for public
distribution, and would be best shared face to face.


The big issue for STUN is that it won't work with most (95%+?) of corporate
NATs and firewalls which translate ports on a symmetric basis. That is if
any of the source or destination details change a new NAT mapping is
employed. This makes STUN useless.

When the  STUN server is sent the discovery message it reports a port on the
public side of the NAT. Since the destination SIP client has a different
address than the STUN server, the public side NAT port mapping changes when
the media or signalling packet is sent to the actual Destination.

We are producing a signalling and media proxy which avoids this issue by
focussing all the traffic through it. This also provides a place to enforce
quality, charge and perform legal intercept.

Also if the phone transmits and receives media on the same port, we can
avoid the need to alter the corporate NAT/Firewall at all and offer public
service. This technique also offers enhanced security as well. We call this
Automatic Channel Mapping.

Please down load the "Solving the Firewall and NAT Traversal Issues for
Multimedia over IP Services" White paper from our website
(www.newport-networks.com), which contains a review of all the known
Nat/Firewall traversal methods.

Also please feel free to contact myself on +441291635830 or +44778606104 if
I can help

Hello,

I have some questions about STUN :

I would like to know why and how STUN does not adress outgoing =
communications as mentionned in the Section 14.1 of the RFC.

Once the client knows its public adress returned by the STUN Server, can =
it use it to send UDP communications ?
Am I right or wrong ?

Can somebody explain me=20
Many thanks and
Best regards,

This is an RTP/SDP issue, not a SIP issue per se. The specifications 
only mandate a destiantion port, not a source port.

The RFC is clear on this point. STUN does not help with these 
symmetric NATs. STUN can help discover that this NAT is present. Its 
main benefit is that when it does work, its very effective and very 
cheap for everyone involved.

To cover all of the NAT cases, you will want to also use a protocol 
like TURN, which allows for a relay-type of box. The ICE protocol 
(http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-rosenberg-sipping-ice-00.txt) 
talks about how STUN, TURN and other mechanisms all get used together 
to fall into the optimal solution for any particular network 
configuration.

STUN doesnt control NATs, so it can't guarantee any kind of behavior 
from them, in terms of sending addresses. See below though...

Yes, a client can send packets from the same socket it used to talk to 
the STUn server. Depending on the type of NAT, the packets on the 
public side of the NAT may have the same source IP/port as returned by 
STUN.

Another benefit is that STUN can find out that the call will not work,
which can avoid some stupid "ring and silence" scenarios. 

Our experience is that solutions like STUN work well on most residential
NATs. But then, more and more of these NATs are UPNP capable, which is
also quite practical. 

As for the enterprises NAT, they could easily be made STUN friendly if
the enterprise actually wanted to enable VoIP -- the "protected cone"
NAT is reasonably secure, and the deployment would be much easier than
trying to pile up layers upon layers of relays and gateways.

Here is the list of open semantics issues:

- Further elaborate section on security considerations.
  Some text was added in the latest version, about the use
  of security credentials and possible threats due to wildcarding.

- Shall the agent be able to specify parameters for protection
against denial of service attacks? Examples are
 - maximum total number of TCP connection setups allowed
 - maximum number of TCP connection setups per minute
 - maximum number of UDP packets per minute
 - maximum bit rate
 
 Generally a good idea, but this may be to much, since the application
 level gateway is sometimes not aware of these facts.
