In today's NAT Working Group meeting, we discussed the idea of creating a 
new working group focused entirely on RSIP. We also discussed the 
possibility of moving RSIP from Standards Track to Experimental Track.

The key people involved in RSIP have agreed that the documents could best 
move forward as RFC's if they are on the Experimental Track. This by no 
means prevents RSIP from moving back to Standards Track at a later date if 
there is consensus to do so. If anyone objects or has comments, please let 
us know.

Forming new working groups and managing existing working groups is the 
responsibility of the IESG. But if you have any feelings one way or the 
other regarding the formation of a new RSIP working group, please let us 
and/or the IESG know.

I see an overlap between RSIP and the proposed CAVITI WG.  Below are a 
couple excerpts about CAVITI.

  There is some serious overlap with IPSP's SPP protocol as well.  

  RSIP, SPP, RSVP and I think MEGACO, involve sending out messages to
determine and/or provision services prior to actually making a "call"

  In the case of RSIP and SPP, one actually has to modify the parameters
of one's call slightly (changing source addresses, SPIs, port numbers, 
or adding AH/ESP) based upon the response. RSVP does not typically 
involve modifying any parameters, but one might decide not to make the "call"
if one can't get the bandwidth.
  
  This is an entirely different paradigm than we are used to. While
attempting not to reinvent the ISDN control protocol, I think that some
consideration should be given to how one might be able to unify some of these 
setup protocols. 
  Perhaps this should go like it does in Cosmology/Particle Physics: attempt
unification of two, and then three, etc...   

  Did CAVITI meet?

On page 10 (end of Sect 5) you talk about "IP based 
authentication in SNMPv3"
Not sure where you get that from, but SNMPv3 does not do such 
things. The SNMP architecture allows SNMPv1/v2c to be
included and RFC2576, coexistence document, does talk
about possible "authentication" using IP addressses. But
not for SNMPv3. If the "SNMPv3" gets changed in just "SNMP"
I can live with it... although I still wonder why SNMP would be
singled out... are there other examples that can be added, so
as to not make SNMP stand out so "badly"

Also, on page 11 (sect 6) you list that NAT does invalidate
SNMPv3 authentication. I don't think that NAT itself does that.
The ALG that has been presented raised lots of security issues.
But if there is no ALG that needs to fiddle with the packets,
then I do not think that NAT itself invalidates the authentication
necessarily. 

Thanks,
Bert

Greetings everyone!

In order to get some discussion started regarding taking SIP through NAT enabled firewalls I've started a new mailing list.
The list is available at http://www.egroups.com/group/sip-nat-firewall

I've said on on that site that the main issue is to discuss the proposal me and Bertil had:
http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~hgs/sip/drafts_firewall.html
http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-thernelius-sip-firewall-solution-00.txt

You're all welcomed to get the ball rolling!

Kind Regards,
Fredrik Thernelius

The IAB has published a new version of the Architectural Implications of NAT
ID.  The ADs would like to use this document to fill the NAT working
group's milestone for a document detailing the limitations of NAT.

The IAB document is now in front of the IESG for our consideration and the
ADs would like to issues an informal working group last call on the ID
(draft-iab-nat-implications-09.txt).

Note that this document has gone through a lot of revisions in response to
input from the NAT working group chairs and others - so we are mostly looking
for significant tecnical issues rather than wording preferences.

This informal WG last-call will end August 22 - this will give us time
to evaluate the responses before the next IETF teleconferenmce on August 24th.

please send comemnts to the nat working group list.

thanks

Scott & Allison

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-nat-protocol-complications-04.txt

This draft has been updated following the IETF-wide last call earlier this 
year. Since it's summer holiday time, we'll wait til September 11th to see 
if we get significant comments. Please send comments to the authors or this 
email list.

NAT WG Minutes

Scribed by Daniel Senie

Matt Holdrege <matt@ipverse.com> and Pyda Srisuresh <srisuresh@yahoo.com>
WG Chairs

Thursday, August 2, 2000, 9AM

Agenda:
- NAT Implications - Tony Hain
- NAT Protocol Complications - Matt & Suresh
- NAT traditional - Suresh
- RSIP drafts - Gabriel
- App Guide - Daniel
- Interface Framework - Suresh
- NAT WG Revised milestones
- Aboba-NAT-IPSec - William Dixon
- ipsec-nat-traversal - Steinberg

--

Matt: Introductions. RSIP -> Experimental path being considered. Proposal
stage only at this point, will be taken to the mailing list.

Tony Hain: IAB Draft. Current revision -08. Minor comments received from
Suresh. Send Tony additional comments. Status: almost done, needs cleanup
then publication.

Suresh: The draft does seem closer to being done - awaiting response to
the comments sent.

Matt, Protocol Complications draft: IETF last call did the trick in getting
comments. Comments incorporated. Draft will be sent to WG last call.

Suresh: reviewed changes made in most recent draft:
Added a section on common characteristics of protocols
broken by NAT.

Draft redone to ensure there were no "pro-NAT"
wording, or understatement of the problem.

New text for lack of support of Kerberos, X Windows issues
(FQDN can't be used).

Send comments.

Suresh: Traditional NAT draft. WG last call and review complete long time
back. Any additional comments, feedback still OK. Awaiting IESG
review pending other base NAT drafts. Publication of all base NAT
documents (IAB draft, NAT complications draft and traditional NAT
draft) must happen together.

Gabriel: RSIP drafts. Revised framework specification and support for
end-to-end IPSec.

Framework document: Mike Borella lead, introduction rewritten, replaced
implementation considerations with requirements section. Added sections in
multi-party applications and scalability. Toned down mobile IP interaction.
Added reference to the SLP-RSIP draft, and added a table of contents.
Protocol specification document: registrations have lease times. Management
of lease times discussed. Most packet and field diagrams documented in
canonical form. RSIP gateway can redirect a host to a particular tunnel
endpoint not necessarily itself.

IPSec support document: put message time before overall length to align
protocol with protocol draft 5 added message counter parameter.

Suresh: Comments: Discussion on IETF list about administrative /
manageability of RSIP stack. Has this been added?

Gabriel: yes.

Suresh: Concern RSIP is significant effort to manage. Concern there's
issues with how the control channel interacts with applications. There
are many applications that are affected by the way RSIP control and
application data paths interact, but haven't been addressed.

Gabriel:
expects there are holes, needs a summary or to do some research in this
area. Multi-party case, is a good example, the RSIP folks don't know how to
address these.

Action item: Gabriel will research updates to deal with the issues. Suresh
will try to get some summary information from the discussion on the IETF
list to Gabriel.

Mike Handley (sp?): Blanket statement that there's no need for ALGs in
RSIP. Believes there could be more explanation.

Suresh: Assumption is that with RSIP replacing NAT, this obviates the need
for ALG (end host will do the work).

Protocol draft: last message buffer discussion could use clarification. Is
it per-host? Matt: Yes.

Daniel: draft-ietf-nat-app-guide-03.txt received few comments. Suresh
suggested adding a section on peer networking, mirroring the protocol
complications draft, and suggested verifying similar content match-up with
other areas.

Suresh: Interface Framework document. Foglamps mailing list discussion of
mechanism to control firewalls and NATs and control resources. Very similar
to what's in this draft, which has added interest to this draft. Now
interest in building a protocol for interfacing with NAT/Firewall. This
document could be the basis for such work. Interfacing with ALG both
internal and external, administrative agents, RSIP clients,
multihomed-NATs, and so forth. Addresses foglamps issues relating to NATs
(not firewalls), but could be used in that area. Would like to move this
document along within the WG.

Milestones: Matt: we're late. Milestones not met. Base documents are about
ready. the IAB draft also a gating factor.

Suresh: By early next year, WG milestones should be completed, provided
the base NAT drafts are cleared with IESG.

Brian Carpenter: should RSIP be split out to a separate WG to get it
completed?

Matt: not clear it'd get more attention as a separate WG. In any case, it's
an IESG issue.

Alison: IESG will discuss as a part of the charter discussion.

Gabriel: RSIP really separate from NAT, and would prefer if it were split off.

Suresh: 9 months ago, ADs thought the NAT WG be the place to put it, but in
the mean time, the NAT drafts haven't progressed so quickly.

Matt/Alison: take hum of the room. Seems to be rough interest in splitting
RSIP off into separate WG. Alison will take input to IESG and see what
consensus is.

Bernard Aboba: NAT and IPSec discussion: draft-aboba-nat-ipsec-02.txt. Will
talk about the problem here, not solutions. Solutions will be discussed at
IPSec group.

Goals and objectives: Describe the scenarios and issues. Usage scenarios:
Telecommuters with IPSec and NAT because of DSL/Cable modems. Tunnel
scenario. Transport mode is seen as extremely difficult at this point.
Compulsory tunneling cases exist with ISPs and other upstream cases.
Various discussion from the floor about DSL, cable modems and STSN/hotel
system.

Suresh: Can it work with IPSec running in the NAT box? Bernard's experience
is customers don't handle it.

Bob Moskowitz: Providers forcing IP address changes often via DHCP as a way
to limit servers on cable modems and such. Makes matters even worse.

Known Nat/IPSec incompatibilities: AH, checksums (pseudoheader issue). UDP
checksum is optional, providing a way around.

Alison comment that they should be used, however. Tunneling discussion: if 
inner packet is unaffected. IKE allows other identifiers, not necessarily 
just IP
addresses. Issues with embedded IP addresses within NAT (in payload).
Incompatability between IKE destination ports and NAPT. Source ports will
be changed. Re-key can occur on either side. Re-key coming from server
looks like unsolicited packet, and NAT will drop it. NAT Port timeouts a
big problem here, as the mapping would have to keep the association alive.
In transport mode, Incompatibility between overlapping security policy and
NAT policy. Makes for difficulty in deciding where to send information.
Without client-nat communication this is a problem.

Suresh:
request quick mode vs. main mode issues be isolated. Incompatability 
between SPI
selection and NAT: issue is SPI of packets incoming to NAT with out client-nat
communication NAT must depend on timing. A problem nearly all the time.

Summary: NAT compatability critical to key uses to Ipv6. Incompatibilities
substantial and intricate. Goal is to find a solution sooner than Ipv6.

Brian Carpenter: 6-to4 has the same problem. Floor question: how about
tunneling IPSec over L2TP.

Marcus Stenberg: Short talk about his draft. Only requires changes in end
station.

Marcus Leech (AD): IPSec WG will be chartered to deal with the
interoperability issues.
