      <t>This document specifies an alternative encapsulation of the Datagram
      Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP), referred to as DCCP-UDP. This
      encapsulation allows DCCP to be carried through the current generation
      of Network Address Translation (NAT) middleboxes without modification of
      those middleboxes. This document also updates the SDP information for
      DCCP defined in RFC 5762.</t>

    <section title="Introduction" toc="include">
      <t>The Datagram Congestion Control Protocol (DCCP), specified in <xref
      target="RFC4340" />, is a transport-layer protocol that provides upper
      layers with the ability to use non-reliable congestion-controlled flows.
      The current specification for DCCP <xref target="RFC4340" /> specifies a
      direct encapsulation in IPv4 or IPv6 packets.</t>

      <t><xref target="RFC5597" /> specifies how DCCP should be handled by
      devices that use Network Address Translation (NAT) or Network Address
      and Port Translation (NAPT). However, there is a significant installed
      base of NAT/NAPT devices that do not support <xref target="RFC5597" />.
      In the short term, it would be useful to have an encapsulation for DCCP
      that is compatible with this installed base of NAT/NAPT devices that
      support <xref target="RFC4787" />, but do not support <xref
      target="RFC5597" />. This document specifies that encapsulation, which
      is referred to as DCCP-UDP. For convenience, the standard encapsulation
      for DCCP <xref target="RFC4340" /> (including <xref target="RFC5596" />
      as required) is referred to as DCCP-STD.</t>

      <t>The document also updates the SDP specification for DCCP to convey
      the encapsulation type. In this respect only, it updates the method in
      <xref target="RFC5762" />.</t>

      <t>The DCCP-UDP encapsulation specified in this document supports all of
      the features contained in DCCP-STD, but with limited functionality for
      partial checksums.</t>
    </section>

    <section title="Terminology" toc="include">
      <t>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 <xref
      target="RFC2119" />.</t>
    </section>

    <section title="DCCP-UDP" toc="include">
      <t>The basic approach is to insert a UDP <xref target="RFC0768" />
      header between the IP header and the DCCP packet. Note that this is not
      a tunneling approach. The IP addresses of the communicating end systems
      are carried in the IP header. The method does not embed additional IP
      addresses.</t>

      <t>The method is designed to support use when these addresses are
      modified by a device that implements NAT/NAPT. A NAT translates the IP
      addresses, which impacts the transport-layer checksum. A NAPT device may
      also translate the port values (usually the source port). In both cases,
      the outer transport header that includes these values would need to be
      updated by the NAT/NAPT.</t>

      <t>A device offering or using DCCP services via DCCP-UDP encapsulation
      listens on a UDP port (default port, XXX IANA PORT XXX), or may bind to
      a specified port utilising out-of-band signalling, such as the Session
      Description Protocol (SDP). The DCCP-UDP server accepts incoming packets
      over the UDP transport and passes the received packets to the DCCP
      protocol module, after removing the UDP encapsulation.</t>

      <t>A DCCP implementation MAY allow services to be simultaneously offered
      over any or all combinations of DCCP-STD and DCCP-UDP encapsulations
      with IPv4 and IPv6.</t>

      <t>The basic format of a DCCP-UDP packet is:</t>

        <t>The Generic DCCP Header with short sequence numbers <xref

        <t>All generic header fields, except for the Checksum field, have the
        meaning specified in <xref target="RFC4340" /> updated by <xref
        target="RFC5596" />.</t>

        <t>Section 3.8 describes how a DCCP-UDP implementation treats UDP and
        DCCP ports.</t>
      </section>

      <section title="DCCP-UDP Checksum Procedures" toc="include">
        <t>DCCP-UDP employs a checksum at the UDP level and eliminates the use
        of the DCCP checksum. This approach was chosen to enable use of
        current NAT/NATP traversal methods developed for UDP. Such methods
        will generally be unaware whether DCCP is being encapsulated and hence
        do not update the inner checksum in the DCCP header. Standard DCCP
        requires protection of the DCCP header fields, this justifies any
        processing overhead incurred from calculating the UDP checksum.</t>

        <t>In addition, UDP NAT traversal does not support partial checksums.
        Although this is still permitted end-to-end in the encapsulated DCCP
        datagram, links along the path will treat these as UDP packets and can
        not enable special partial checksum processing.</t>

        <t>For DCCP-UDP, the function of the DCCP Checksum field is performed
        by the UDP checksum field. On transmit, the DCCP Checksum field SHOULD
        be set to zero. On receive, the DCCP Checksum field MUST be
        ignored.</t>

        <t>The UDP checksum MUST NOT be zero for a UDP packet that is sent
        using DCCP-UDP. If the received UDP Checksum field is zero, the packet
        MUST be dropped.</t>

        <t>If the UDP Length field is less than 20 (the UDP Header length and
        minimum DCCP-UDP header length), the packet MUST be dropped.</t>

        <t>If the UDP Checksum field, computed using standard UDP methods, is
        invalid, the packet MUST be dropped.</t>

        <t>If the UDP Length field in a received packet is less than the
        length of the UDP header plus the entire DCCP-UDP header (including
        the generic header and type-specific fields and options, if present),
        or the UDP Length field is greater than the length of the packet from
        the beginning of the UDP header to the end of the packet, the packet
        MUST be dropped.</t>

        <section title="Partial Checksums and the Minimum Checksum Coverage Feature"
                 toc="include">
          <t>DCCP-UDP supports the syntax of partial checksums. It also
          supports negotiation of the Minimum Checksum Coverage feature and
          settings of the CsCov field. However, the UDP checksum field in
          DCCP-UDP always covers the entire DCCP datagram and the DCCP
          checksum is ignored on receipt. An application that enables this
          feature will experience a service that is functionally identical to
          using full checksum coverage. This is also the service that the
          application would have received if it had used a network path that
          did not provide optimised processing for DCCP partial checksums.</t>

      </section>

      <section title="Network Layer Options" toc="include">
        <t>A DCCP-UDP implementations MAY transfer network-layer options
        intended for DCCP to the network-layer header of the encapsulating UDP
        packet.</t>

        <t>A DCCP-UDP endpoint that receives IP-options for the encapsulating
        UDP packet MAY forward these to the DCCP protocol module. If the
        endpoint forwards a specific network layer option to the DCCP module,
        it MUST also forward all subsequent packets with this option.
        Consistent forwarding is essential for correct operation of many
        end-to-end options.</t>
      </section>

      <section title="Explicit Congestion Notification" toc="default">
        <t>A DCCP-UDP endpoint SHOULD follow the procedures of DCCP-STD
        section 12 by setting the ECN fields in the IP Headers of outgoing
        packets and examining the values received in the ECN fields of
        incoming IP packets, relaying any packet markings to the DCCP
        module.</t>

        <t>Implementations that do not support ECN MUST follow the procedures
        in DCCP-STD section 12.1 with regard to implementations that are not
        ECN capable.</t>
      </section>

      <section title="ICMP handling for messages relating to DCCP-UDP"
               toc="include">
        <t>To allow ICMP messages to be demultiplexed by the receiving
        endpoint, part of the original packet that resulted in the message is
        included in the payload of the ICMP error message. The receiving
        endpoint can therefore use this information to associate the ICMP
        error with the transport protocol instance that resulted in the ICMP
        message. When DCCP-UDP is used, the error message and the payload of
        the ICMP error message relate to the UDP transport.</t>

        <t>DCCP-UDP endpoints SHOULD forward ICMP messages relating to a UDP
        packet that carries a DCCP-UDP to the DCCP module. This may imply
        translation of the payload of the ICMP message into a form that is
        recognised by the DCCP stack. <xref target="ICMP" /> describes
        precautions that are desirable before TCP acts on the receipt of an
        ICMP message. Similar precautions are desirable prior to forwarding by
        DCCP-UDP to the DCCP module.</t>
      </section>

      <section title="Path Maximum Transmission Unit Discovery" toc="include">
        <t>DCCP-UDP implementations SHOULD follow DCCP-STD section 14 with
        regard to determining the maximum packet size and the use of Path
        Maximum Transmission Unit Discovery (PMTUD).</t>
      </section>

      <section anchor="port" title="Usage of the UDP port by DCCP-UDP"
               toc="include">
        <t>A DCCP-UDP server (that is, an initially passive endpoint that
        wishes to receive DCCP-Request packets [RFC4340] over DCCP-UDP)
        listens for connections on one or more UDP ports. UDP port number XXX
        IANA PORT XXX has been reserved as the default listening UDP port for
        DCCP-UDP connections. Some NAT/NAPT topologies may require using a
        non-default listening port.</t>

        <t>A DCCP-UDP client provides UDP source and destination ports as well
        as DCCP source and destination ports at connection initiation time. A
        client SHOULD ensure that each DCCP connection maps to a single UDP
        connection by setting the UDP source port. Choosing a distinct source
        UDP port for each distinct DCCP connection ensures that UDP-based flow
        identifiers differ whenever DCCP-based flow identifiers differ.
        Specifically, two connections with different <source IP address,
        source DCCP port, destination IP address, destination DCCP port>
        DCCP 4-tuples will have different <source IP address, source UDP
        port, destination IP address, destination UDP port> UDP
        4-tuples.</t>

        <t>A DCCP-UDP server SHOULD accept datagrams from any UDP source port.
        There is a risk that the same DCCP source port number could be used by
        two endpoints each behind a NAPT. A DCCP-UDP server must therefore
        demultiplex a DCCP-UDP flow using both the UDP source and destination
        port numbers and the encapsulated DCCP ports. This ensures than an
        active DCCP connection is uniquely identified by the 6-tuple
        <source IP address, source UDP port, source DCCP port, destination
        IP address, destination UDP port, destination DCCP port>.</t>

        <t>The demultiplexing at a DCCP-UDP endpoint occurs in two stages:</t>

        <t>1) In the first stage, DCCP-UDP packets are demultiplexed using the
        UDP 4-tuple: <source IP address, source UDP port, destination IP
        address, destination UDP port>.</t>

        <t>2) In the second stage, a receiving endpoint MUST ensure that two
        independent DCCP connections that were multiplexed to the same UDP
        4-tuple are not associated with the same connection in the DCCP
        module. The endpoint therefore needs to keep state for the set of
        active DCCP-UDP endpoints using each combination of a UDP 4-tuple:
        <source IP address, source UDP port, destination IP address,
        destination UDP port>. A DCCP endpoint MUST implement one of the
        two methods:</t>

        <t>
          <list style="symbols">
            <t>A DCCP server MAY accept only one active 6-tuple at any one
            time for a given UDP 4-tuple. In this method, DCCP-UDP packets
            that do not match an active 6-tuple MUST NOT be passed to the DCCP
            module and the DCCP Server SHOULD send a DCCP-Reset with with
            Reset Code XXX IANA Port Reuse XXX, "Encapsulated Port Reuse". An
            endpoint that receives a DCCP-Reset with this reset code MAY
            immediately try again using a different 4-tuple. This provides
            protection should the same UDP 4-tuple be re-used by multiple DCCP
            connections, ensuring that only one DCCP connection is established
            at one time.</t>

            <t>A DCCP server MAY support multiple DCCP connections over the
            same UDP 4-tuple. In this method, the endpoint MUST then associate
            each 6-tuple with a single DCCP connection. If an endpoint is
            unable to demultiplex the 6-tuple (e.g. due to internal resource
            limits), it MUST NOT pass DCCP-UDP packets that do not match an
            active 6-tuple to the DCCP module. The DCCP endpoint MAY send a
            DCCP-Reset with Reset Code XXX IANA Port Reuse XXX, "Encapsulated
            Port Reuse", indicating the connection may be retried using a
            different UDP 4-tuple.</t>

      <section title="Service Codes and the DCCP Port Registry" toc="include">
        <t>This section clarifies the usage of DCCP Service Codes and the
        registration of server ports by DCCP-UDP. The section is not intended
        to update the procedures for allocating Service Codes or server
        ports.</t>

        <t>There is one Service Code registry and one DCCP port registration
        that apply to all combinations of encapsulation and IP version. A DCCP
        Service Code specifies an application using DCCP regardless of the
        combination of DCCP encapsulation and IP version. An application may
        choose not to support some combinations of encapsulation and IP
        version, but its Service Code will remain registered for those
        combinations and the Service Code must not be used by other
        applications. An application should not register different Service
        Codes for different combinations of encapsulation and IP version.
        <xref target="RFC5595" /> provides additional information about DCCP
        Service Codes.</t>

        <t>Similarly, a port registration is applicable to all combinations of
        encapsulation and IP version. Again, an application may choose not to
        support some combinations of encapsulation and IP version on its
        registered port, although the port will remain registered for those
        combinations. Applications should not register different ports just
        for the purpose of using different combinations of encapsulation.</t>

    <section title="DCCP-UDP and Higher-Layer Protocols" toc="include">
      <t>The encapsulation of a higher-layer protocol within DCCP MUST be the
      same for both DCCP-STD and DCCP-UDP. Encapsulations of DTLS over DCCP is
      defined in <xref target="RFC5238" /> and RTP over DCCP is defined in
      <xref target="RFC5762" />. This document therefore does not update these
      encapsulations when using DCCP-UDP.</t>
    </section>

    <section title="Signaling the Use of DCCP-UDP" toc="exclude">
      <t>Applications often signal transport connection parameters through
      outside means, such as SDP. Applications that define such methods for
      DCCP MUST define how the DCCP encapsulation is chosen, and MUST allow
      either encapsulation to be signaled.</t>

      <t>Procedures for handling DCCP-STD and/or DCCP-UDP with Interactive
      Connectivity Establishment (ICE) may need to be developed, but are left
      for further work.</t>

      <section anchor="sdp" title="SDP support for DCCP-UDP" toc="include">
        <t><xref target="RFC5762" /> defines SDP extensions for signaling RTP
        over DCCP connections. Since it predates this document, it does not
        define a method for determining the DCCP encapsulation type. This
        document updates <xref target="RFC5762" /> to add a method for
        determining the DCCP encapsulation type.</t>

        <t>A new SDP attribute "dccp-encap" is defined for signaling the DCCP
        encapsulation according to the following ABNF <xref
        target="RFC5234" />:</t>

        <figure>
          <artwork><![CDATA[
    dccp-encap-attr = %x61 "=dccp-in-udp" [":" udp-port-num]

    udp-port-num    = *DIGIT
]]></artwork>
        </figure>

        <t>where *DIGIT is as defined in <xref target="RFC5234" />.</t>

        <t>The presence of "a=dccp-in-udp" in an SDP offer indicates that the
        offerer is listening for DCCP-UDP connections on the indicated UDP
        port (if udp-port-num is included) or on the default port for the
        DCCP-UDP service if no port is included. This attribute MAY also be
        used in a declarative SDP file.</t>

        <t>The absence of "a=dccp-in-udp" in an SDP offer indicates that the
        offerer is listening for DCCP-STD connections. The presence of
        "a=dccp-in-udp" conveys no information about whether or not the
        offerer is listening for DCCP-STD connections.</t>

        <t>The new SDP attribute specified in this section is expected to be
        useful when the offering party is on the public Internet, or in the
        same private addressing realm as the answering party. Some other
        NAT/NAPT topologies may result in the advertised port being
        unreachable via the NAT/NAPT.</t>
      </section>
    </section>

    <section title="Security Considerations" toc="include">
      <t>DCCP-UDP provides all of the security risk-mitigation measures
      present in DCCP-STD, and also all of the security risks.</t>

      <t>The purpose of DCCP-UDP is to allow DCCP to pass through NAT/NAPT
      devices, and therefore it exposes DCCP to the risks associated with
      passing through NAT devices. It does not create any new risks with
      regard to NAT/NAPT devices.</t>

      <t>The tunnel encapsulation recommends processing of ICMP messages
      received for packets sent using DCCP-UDP and translation to allow use by
      DCCP. <xref target="ICMP" /> describes precautions that are desirable
      before TCP acts on receipt of ICMP messages. Similar precautions are
      desirable for endpoints processing ICMP for DCCP-UDP.</t>

      <t>DCCP-UDP may also allow DCCP applications to pass through existing
      firewall devices, if the administrators of the devices so choose. A
      simple use may either allow all DCCP applications or allow none.</t>

      <t>A firewall than interprets this specification could inspect the
      encapsualted DCCP header to filter based on DCCP information. Full
      control of DCCP connections by application will require enhancements to
      firewalls, as discussed in <xref target="RFC4340" /> and related RFCs
      (e.g. <xref target="RFC5595" />).</t>

      <section title="DCCP Reset">
        <t>IANA is requested to assign a new DCCP Reset Code in the DCCP Reset
        Codes Registry, with the short description "Encapsulated Port Reuse".

        allocated a value less than 120 decimal. Use of this reset code is
        defined in section <xref target="port" /></t>

        <t>. Section 5.6 of RFC4340 defines three "Data" bytes that are
        carried by a DCCP Reset. For this Reset Code these are defined as

            <t>Data byte 2 & 3: The encapsulated Source UDP Port, in
            network order</t>
          </list>

          
        </t>

        <t>XXX Note: IANA is requested to replace all occurrences of "XXX IANA
