  1.      Introduction 
     This specification defines the naming syntax, object classes, 
     attributes, matching filters, and query processing rules for 
     storing and locating IPv6 address blocks in the FIRS service. 
     Refer to [FIRS-ARCH] for information on the FIRS architecture and 
     [FIRS-CORE] for the schema definitions and rules which govern the 
     FIRS service as a whole. 
      
     Note that reverse-lookup DNS domains for IPv6 address blocks are 
     managed as DNS domain entries in [FIRS-DNS]. These are entirely 
     different network resources, and should not be confused with IPv6 
     address block entries. 
      
     The definitions in this specification are intended to be used with 
     FIRS. Their usage outside of FIRS is not prohibited, but any such 
     usage is beyond this specification's scope of authority. 
      
  2.      Prerequisites and Terminology 
     The complete set of specifications in the FIRS collection 
     cumulative define a structured and distributed information service 
     using LDAPv3 for the data-formatting and transport functions. This 
     specification should be read in the context of the complete set of 
     specifications, which currently include the following:

     NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" 
     in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119. 
      
  3.      Naming Syntax 
     The naming syntax for IPv4 address blocks in FIRS MUST follow the 
     form of "cn=<inetIpv4NetworkSyntax>,cn=inetResources,<partition>", 
     where <inetIpv6NetworkSyntax > is the IPv6 address block resource, 
     and where <partition> is a sequence of domainComponent relative 
     distinguished names which identifies the scope of authority for 
     the selected directory partition. 
      
   
  Hall                  I-D Expires: December 2003             [page 3] 
  Internet Draft    draft-ietf-crisp-firs-ipv6-00.txt         May 2003 
   
   
     The inetIpv6NetworkSyntax rules use the uncompressed, 32-nibble 
     notation, terminated with a subnet "prefix". The network address 
     consists of eight sub-components, each of which are separated by a 
     colon character, and which each consist of four hexadecimal values 
     that represent one nibble. The entire sequence is followed by a 
     "/" character and a three-digit decimal "prefix" value. 
      
     Entries which use the inetIpv6NetworkSyntax MUST use the starting 
     address from a range of inclusive addresses, and MUST use CIDR 
     prefix notation. In this manner, it is possible to create an 
     inetIpv6Network entry for a range of addresses of any size 
     (including a single host). 
      
     Each of the 16-bit colon-separated values MUST be written in the 
     uncompressed form. Nibbles with a value of zero MUST be 
     represented by the hexadecimal sequence of "0000". 
      
     If an input string does not match this syntax, a FIRS-aware 
     application MAY attempt to manipulate the input string to form a 
     valid value. For example, if a user enters a zero-compressed IPv6 
     address such as "3ffe:ffff::", the application MAY convert the 
     input value to "3ffe:ffff:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/32" in 
     order to form a valid inetIpv6NetworkSyntax form. 
      
     An augmented BNF for this syntax is as follows: 
      
          inetIpv6NetworkSyntax = inetIpv6Octet ":" inetIpv6Octet ":" 
            inetIpv6Octet ":" inetIpv6Octet ":" inetIpv6Octet ":" 
            inetIpv6Octet ":" inetIpv6Octet ":" inetIpv6Octet "/" 
            inetIpv6Prefix 
      
          inetIpv6Octet = 4*4nibblePart 
      
          nibblePart = hexadecimal digit between "0" and "F" inclusive 
      
          inetIpv6Prefix = decimal value between "1" and "128" 
            inclusive, with the non-affective leading zeroes removed 
      
     The inetIpv6NetworkSyntax syntax is as follows: 
      
          inetIpv6NetworkSyntax 
          ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7161.1.3.1 NAME 'inetIpv6NetworkSyntax' DESC 
            'An IPv6 address and prefix.' ) 
      
     For example, an IPv6 network with a range of addresses between 
     "3ffe:ffff::" and "3ffe:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff" would 
   
  Hall                  I-D Expires: December 2003             [page 4] 
  Internet Draft    draft-ietf-crisp-firs-ipv6-00.txt         May 2003 
   
   
     be written as "cn=3ffe:ffff:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/32". 
     Similarly, a host address of "3ffe:ffff::1:2:3:4" would be written 
     as "cn=3ffe:ffff:0000:0000:0001:0002:0003:0004/128". 
      
     Note that the entry name of 
     "cn=0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/0" encompasses the 
     entire IPv6 address space. 
      
     Note that the use of "/" is illegal as data in URLs, and MUST be 
     escaped before it is stored in a URL as data. 
      
  4.      Object Classes and Attributes 
     IPv6 address block entries in FIRS MUST use the inetIpv6Network 
     object class, in addition to the mandatory object classes defined 
     in [FIRS-CORE]. IPv6 address block entries MUST be treated as 
     containers capable of holding subordinate entries. If an entry 
     exists as a referral source, the entry MUST also be defined with 
     the referral object class, in addition to the above requirements. 
      
     The inetIpv6Network object class is a structural object class 
     which is subordinate to the inetResources object class. The 
     inetIpv6Network object class has no mandatory attributes, although 
     it does have several optional attributes. The inetIpv6Network 
     object class also inherits the attributes defined in the 
     inetResources object class, including the "cn" naming attribute. 
      
     The schema definition for the inetIpv6Network object class is as 
     follows: 
      
          inetIpv6Network 
          ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7161.1.3.0 NAME 'inetIpv6Network' DESC 'IPv6 
            network attributes.' SUP inetResources STRUCTURAL MAY ( 
            inetIpv6DelegationStatus $ inetIpv6DelegationDate $ 
            inetIpv6Registrar $ inetIpv6Registry $ inetIpv6Contacts $ 
            inetIpv6RoutingContacts ) ) 
      
     The attributes from the inetIpv6Network object class are described 
     below: 
      
          inetIpv6Contacts 
          ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7161.1.3.2 NAME 'inetIpv6Contacts' DESC 
            'Contacts for general administrative issues concerning this 
            IPv6 address block.' EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch SYNTAX

          inetIpv6DelegationDate 
          ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7161.1.3.3 NAME 'inetIpv6DelegationDate' DESC

          inetIpv6DelegationStatus 
          ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7161.1.3.4 NAME 'inetIpv6DelegationStatus' DESC 
            'Delegation status of this IPv6 address block.' EQUALITY 
            numericStringMatch SYNTAX numericString{2} SINGLE-VALUE ) 
      
            NOTE: In an effort to facilitate internationalization and 
            programmatic processing, the current status of a delegation 
            is identified by a 16-bit integer. The values and status 
            mapping is as follows: 
      
                 0   Reserved delegation (permanently inactive) 
                 1   Assigned and active (normal state) 
                 2   Assigned but not yet active (new delegation) 
                 3   Assigned but on hold (disputed) 
                 4   Assignment revoked (database purge pending) 
      
            Additional values are reserved for future use, and are to 
            be administered by IANA. 
      
            Note that there is no status code for "unassigned"; 
            unassigned entries SHOULD NOT exist, and SHOULD NOT be 
            returned as answers. 
      
          inetIpv6Registrar 
          ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7161.1.3.5 NAME 'inetIpv6Registrar' DESC 
            'Registrar who delegated this IPv6 address block.' EQUALITY 
            caseIgnoreMatch SYNTAX directoryString ) 
      
            NOTE: The inetIpv6Registrar attribute uses a URL to 
            indicate the registrar who delegated the address block. The 
            attribute structure is identical to the labeledURI 
            attribute, as defined in [RFC2798], including the URL and 
            textual comments. The data can refer to any valid URL. 
      
          inetIpv6Registry 
          ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7161.1.3.6 NAME 'inetIpv6Registry' DESC

            NOTE: The inetIpv6Registry attribute uses a URL to indicate 
            the registry who is ultimately responsible for the address 
            block. The attribute structure is identical to the 
            labeledURI attribute, as defined in [RFC2798], including 
            the URL and textual comments. The data can refer to any 
            valid URL.

  5.      Query Processing Rules 
     Queries for IPv6 address blocks have several special requirements, 
     as discussed in the following sections. 
      
     Refer to [FIRS-CORE] for general information about FIRS queries.

  Internet Draft    draft-ietf-crisp-firs-ipv6-00.txt         May 2003 
   
   
  5.1.    Query Pre-Processing 
     Clients MUST ensure that the query input is normalized according 
     to the rules specified in section 3 before the input is used as 
     the assertion value to the resulting LDAP query. 
      
     The authoritative partition for an IPv6 address block is 
     determined by mapping the normalized input to an associated 
     reverse-lookup DNS domain name (using the process as defined in 
     RFC 1886 [RFC1886], as amended by RFC 3152 [RFC3152]), and then 
     mapping the resulting DNS domain name to a sequence of 
     domainComponent labels. The subnet prefix sequence MUST be 
     stripped from the input address block as part of this mapping 
     process (note that these rules only apply to the mapping process 
     by which an authoritative partition is constructed, and does not 
     apply to the process by which the entry-specific relative 
     distinguished name is constructed). 
      
     Due to the 128-bit addresses and the rules defined in [RFC1886], a 
     fully-formed IPv6 reverse-lookup domain name will have 34 labels, 
     which result in very large distinguished names. 
      
     For example, an IPv6 address of 
     "3ffe:ffff:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/32" would be mapped to 
     the reverse-lookup DNS domain name of 
     "0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.f.f.f.f.e.f.f.3. 
     ip6.arpa." which would in turn be mapped to "dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0, 
     dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0, 
     dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=f,dc=f,dc=f,dc=f,dc=e,dc=f, 
     dc=f,dc=3,dc=ip6,dc=arpa". 
      
  5.2.    Query Bootstrapping 
     FIRS clients MUST use the top-down bootstrap model by default for 
     IPv6 address block queries. As such, the search base for default 
     queries would be set to "dc=arpa" rather than being set to the 
     fully-qualified distinguished name of the authoritative partition. 
      
     FIRS clients MAY use the targeted or bottom-up bootstrap models 
     for queries if necessary or desirable. However, it is not likely 
     that entries will be found for all IPv6 address block resources 
     using these models. As such, the top-down bootstrap model will be 
     the most useful in most cases, and MUST be used by default.

  5.3.    LDAP Matching 
     FIRS clients MUST use the inetIpv6NetworkMatch extensible matching 
     filter in LDAP searches for IPv6 address block entries. 
      
     The inetIpv6NetworkMatch filter provides an identifier and search 
     string format which collectively inform a queried server that a 
     specific IPv6 address should be searched for, and that any 
     matching inetIpv6network object class entries should be returned. 
      
     The inetIpv6NetworkMatch extensibleMatch filter is defined as 
     follows: 
      
          inetIpv6NetworkMatch 
          ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7161.1.3.8 NAME 'inetIpv6NetworkMatch' SYNTAX 
            inetIpv6NetworkSyntax ) 
      
     The assertion value MUST be a normalized IPv6 address, using the 
     inetIpv4NetworkSyntax defined in section 3. 
      
     A FIRS server MUST compare the assertion value against the RDN of 
     all entries in the inetResources container of the partition 
     specified in the search base which have an object class of 
     inetIpv6Network. Any entry with an object class of inetIpv6Network 
     and with a relative distinguished name which clearly encompasses 
     the IPv6 address provided in the assertion value MUST be returned. 
     Entries which do not clearly encompass the queried address MUST 
     NOT be returned. Entries which do not have an object class of 
     inetIpv6Network MUST NOT be returned. 
      
     In order to ensure that all of the relevant entries are found 
     (including any referrals), the search filters for these resources 
     MUST specify the inetIpv6Network object class along with the 
     search criteria. For example, "(&(objectclass=inetIpv6Network) 
     (1.3.6.1.4.1.7161.1.3.8:= 
     3ffe:ffff:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/32))" with a search base 
     of "cn=inetResources,dc=arin,dc=net" would find all of the 
     inetIpv6Network object class entries which were superior to the 
     "3ffe:ffff:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/32" address block in the 
     "dc=arin,dc=net" partition. 
      
     Note that the entry name of 
     "cn=0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/0" encompasses the 
     entire IPv6 address space. When used in conjunction with 
     referrals, this entry MAY be used to redirect all

     inetIpv6NetworkMatch queries to another partition for subsequent 
     processing. 
      
     The matching filters defined in this specification MUST be 
     supported by FIRS clients and servers. FIRS servers MAY support 
     additional sub-string filters, soundex filters, or any other 
     filters they wish (these may be required to support generic LDAP 
     clients), although FIRS clients MUST NOT expect any additional 
     filters to be available. 
      
  5.4.    Example Query 
     The following example assumes that the user has specified 
     "3ffe:ffff:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/32" as the query value: 
      
        a.  Normalize the input, which is 
            "3ffe:ffff:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/32" in this case. 
      
        b.  Determine the authoritative partition. 
      
            1.   Map the input sequence to the reverse-lookup domain 
                 name, which is "0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0. 
                 0.0.0.0.0.0.f.f.f.f.e.f.f.3.ip6.arpa." in this case. 
      
            2.   Map the domain name to an authoritative partition, 
                 which is "dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0, 
                 dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0, 
                 dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=0,dc=f,dc=f,dc=f,dc=f, 
                 dc=e,dc=f,dc=f,dc=3,dc=ip6,dc=arpa" in this case. By 
                 default, queries for IPv6 address blocks use the top-
                 down model, meaning that the right-most relative 
                 distinguished name of "dc=arpa" will be used as the 
                 authoritative partition. 
      
        c.  Determine the search base for the query, which will be 
            "cn=inetResources,dc=arpa" if the defaults are used. 
      
        d.  Initiate a DNS lookup for the SRV resource records 
            associated with "_ldap._tcp.arpa." For the purpose of this 
            example, assume that this lookup succeeds, with the DNS 
            response message indicating that "firs.iana.org" is the 
            preferred LDAP server. 
      
        e.  Submit an LDAPv3 query to the specified server, using 
            "(&(objectClass=inetIpv6Network)(1.3.6.1.4.1.7161.1.3.8:= 
            3ffe:ffff:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000/32)" as the

            matching filter, "cn=inetResources,dc=arpa" as the search 
            base, and the global query defaults defined in [FIRS-CORE]. 
      
        f.  Assume that no referrals are received. Display the answer 
            data which has been received and exit the query.

  11.     Changes from Previous Versions 
     draft-ietf-crisp-fir-ipv6-00: 
      
        *   Restructured the document set. 
      
        *   "Attribute references" have been eliminated from the 
            specification. All referential attributes now provide 
            actual data instead of URL pointers to data. Clients that 
            wish to retrieve these values will need to start new 
            queries using the data values instead of URLs. 
      
        *   The attribute-specific operational attributes have been 
            eliminated as unnecessary. 
      
        *   The inetIpv6Registrar and inetIpv6Registry attributes were 
            added. 
      
        *   Several attributes had their OIDs changed. NOTE THAT THIS 
            IS AN INTERNET DRAFT, AND THAT THE OIDS ARE SUBJECT TO 
            ADDITIONAL CHANGES AS THIS DOCUMENT IS EDITED. 
      
        *   Several typographical errors have been fixed. 
      
        *   Some unnecessary text has been removed.
