<abstract>
<t>The Diameter base protocol specifies mechanisms whereby a given
realm may advertise Diameter nodes and the supported transport protocol.
However, these mechanisms do not reveal the Diameter applications that each
node supports. A peer outside the realm would have to perform a Diameter
capability exchange with every node until it discovers one that supports
the required application. This document updates RFC3588 "Diameter Base
Protocol" and describes an improvement using an extended format for the
Straightforward-Naming Authority Pointer (S-NAPTR) Application Service Tag
that allows for discovery of the supported applications without doing
Diameter capability exchange beforehand.</t>

<t>The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",

<section title="Introduction">
<t>The Diameter base protocol <xref target="RFC3588"/>
specifies three mechanisms for the Diameter peer discovery. One of these
involves the Diameter implementation performing a Naming Authority Pointer (NAPTR) query <xref
target="RFC3403"/> for a server in a particular realm.
These NAPTR records provide a mapping from a domain, to the DNS Service Locator (SRV) record
<xref target="RFC2782"/> or A/AAAA record <xref target="RFC1035"/><xref target="RFC3596"/> for contacting a server with the specific
transport protocol in the NAPTR services field. </t>
<t>The extended NAPTR usage for Diameter peer discovery defined by
this document is based on the Straightforward-NAPTR (S-NAPTR) Dynamic
Delegation Discovery System (DDDS) Application defined in
<xref target="RFC3958"/>. This document updates the Diameter peer
discovery procedure described in Section 11.6 of <xref target="RFC3588"/>
and defines S-NAPTR Application Service and Application Protocol Tag
values that permit the discovery of Diameter peers that support
a specific Diameter application and transport protocol.
</t>
</section>
<section title="Terminology">
<t>The Diameter base protocol specification (Section 1.4 of
<xref target="RFC3588"/>) and the Straightforward-NAPTR (S-NAPTR) DDDS
application (section 2.1 in <xref target="RFC3958"/>) define the terminology
used in this document.</t>
</section>
<section anchor="snaptr-format" title="Extended NAPTR Service Field Format">
<t>The NAPTR Service Field format defined by the S-NAPTR DDDS application
in <xref target="RFC3958"/> follows this Augmented Backus-Naur Form
(ABNF, <xref target="RFC5234"/>):
<figure><artwork><![CDATA[
service-parms = [ [app-service] *(":" app-protocol)]
app-service = experimental-service / iana-registered-service
app-protocol = experimental-protocol / iana-registered-protocol
experimental-service = "x-" 1*30ALPHANUMSYM
experimental-protocol = "x-" 1*30ALPHANUMSYM
iana-registered-service = ALPHA *31ALPHANUMSYM
iana-registered-protocol = ALPHA *31ALPHANUMSYM
ALPHA = %x41-5A / %x61-7A ; A-Z / a-z
DIGIT = %x30-39 ; 0-9
SYM = %x2B / %x2D / %x2E ; "+" / "-" / "."
ALPHANUMSYM = ALPHA / DIGIT / SYM
; The app-service and app-protocol tags are limited to 32
; characters and must start with an alphabetic character.
; The service-parms are considered case-insensitive.
]]></artwork></figure>
</t>
<t>This specification refines the "iana-registered-service"
tag definition for the discovery of Diameter agents supporting
a specific Diameter application as defined below.
<figure><artwork><![CDATA[
iana-registered-service =/ aaa-service
aaa-service = "aaa+ap" appln-id
appln-id = 1*10DIGIT
; Application identifier expressed as
; a decimal integer without leading
; zeros.
]]></artwork></figure>
</t>
<t>The appln-id element is the Application Identifier used to
identify a specific Diameter Application. The Diameter Application
Identifier is a 32-bit unsigned integer and values are allocated by
IANA as defined in <xref target="RFC3588"/>.
</t>
<t>This specification also refines the "iana-registered-protocol"
tag definition for the discovery of Diameter agents supporting
a specific Diameter transport protocol as defined below.
<figure><artwork><![CDATA[
iana-registered-protocol =/ aaa-protocol /
aaa-protocol = "diameter." aaa-transport
aaa-transport = "tcp" / "sctp" / "tls.tcp"
]]></artwork></figure>
</t>
<t>The S-NAPTR Application Protocol tags defined by this specification
MUST NOT be parsed in any way by the querying application or resolver.
The delimiter (".") is present in the tag to improve readability and
does not imply a structure or namespace of any kind. The choice of
delimiter (".") for the Application Protocol tag follows the format
of existing S-NAPTR Application Protocol tag registry entries but
this does not imply that that it shares semantics with any other
specifications that create registry entries with the same format.</t>
<t>The S-NAPTR Application Service and Protocol tags defined by
this specification are unrelated to the IANA Service Name and
Transport Protocol Port Number Registry (see
<xref target="I-D.ietf-tsvwg-iana-ports"/>).</t>
<t>The maximum length of the NAPTR service field is 256 octets including
one octet length field (see Section 4.1 of RFC 3403 and Section 3.3 of
<xref target="RFC1035"/>).
</t>
<section title="IETF Standard Track Diameter Applications ">
<t>A Diameter agent MUST be capable of using the extended S-NAPTR
Application Service Tag for dynamic discovery of a Diameter agent
supporting Standard Track applications. Therefore, every IETF
Standard Track Diameter application MUST be associated with a
"aaa-service" tag formatted as defined in this specification
and allocated in accordance with the IANA policy
(see <xref target="IANA"/>).
</t>
<t>For example, a NAPTR service field value of:
</t>
<t><list style="hanging">
<t hangText="'aaa+ap6:diameter.sctp'">
<vspace blankLines="1"/>
Means that the Diameter node in the SRV or A/AAAA record supports the
Diameter Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Application ('6') and SCTP
as the transport protocol.
</t>
</list>
</t>
</section>
<section title="Vendor-specific Diameter Applications">
<t>S-NAPTR Application Service and Application Protocol Tag values
can also be used to discover Diameter peers that support a
vendor-specific Diameter application. In this case, the
vendor-specific Diameter application MUST be associated with
a "aaa-service" tag formatted as defined in this specification
and allocated in accordance with the IANA policy
(see <xref target="IANA"/>).
</t>
<t>For example, a NAPTR service field value of:
</t>
<t><list style="hanging">
<t hangText="'aaa+ap16777251:diameter.sctp'">
<vspace blankLines="1"/>
Means that the Diameter node in the SRV or A/AAAA record supports the
Diameter 3GPP S6a Application ('16777251') and SCTP
as the transport protocol.
</t>
</list>
</t>
</section>
</section>
<section title="Backwards Compatibility">
<t>Domain Name System (DNS) administrators SHOULD also provision
legacy RFC 3588 style NAPTR records <xref target="RFC3403"/> in order to
guarantee backwards compatibility with legacy RFC 3588 compliant
Diameter peers. If the DNS administrator provisions
both extended S-NAPTR records as defined in this specification and
legacy RFC 3588 NAPTR records, then the extended S-NAPTR records
MUST have higher priority (e.g. lower order and/or preference
values) than legacy NAPTR records.
</t>
</section>
<section title="Extended NAPTR-based Diameter Peer Discovery">
<t>The Diameter Peer Discovery principles are described in
Section 5.2 of <xref target="RFC3588"/>.
This specification updates the NAPTR query procedure in the Diameter
peer discovery mechanism by allowing the querying node to determine
which applications are supported by resolved Diameter peers.
</t>
<t>The extended format NAPTR records provide a mapping from a domain
to the SRV record or A/AAAA record for contacting a server
supporting a specific transport protocol and Diameter application.
The resource record will contain an empty regular expression and a
replacement value, which is the SRV record or the A/AAAA record
for that particular transport protocol.</t>
<t>The assumption for this mechanism to work is that the DNS
administrator of the queried domain has first provisioned the DNS
with extended format NAPTR entries. The steps below replace the
NAPTR query procedure steps in Section 5.2 of <xref
target="RFC3588"/>.
</t>
<t><list style="hanging">
<t hangText="a.">The Diameter implementation performs a NAPTR query for
a server in a particular realm. The Diameter implementation has
to know in advance which realm to look for a Diameter agent in and
which Application Identifier it is interested in. For example,
the realm could be deduced from the Network Access Identifier (NAI) in the User-Name
AVP or extracted from the Destination-Realm AVP.
</t>
<t hangText="b.">If the returned NAPTR service fields contain entries

<t>This indicates that the server supports NASREQ (ID=1) and Credit
Control (ID=4) Applications over SCTP. If the client supports SCTP,
it will be used, targeted to a host determined by an SRV lookup of
_diameter._sctp.ex1.example.com.</t>

;; Priority Weight Port Target
IN SRV 0 1 3868 server1.ex1.example.com
IN SRV 0 2 3868 server2.ex1.example.com

<t>As an alternative example, a client that wishes to discover a
Diameter server in the ex2.example.com realm that supports the NASREQ
application over SCTP. The client performs a NAPTR query for that
domain, and the following NAPTR records are returned:</t>
<figure><artwork><![CDATA[

IN NAPTR 150 50 "a" "aaa+ap1:diameter.stcp" ""
server1.ex2.example.com
IN NAPTR 150 50 "a" "aaa+ap1:diameter.tls.tcp" ""
server2.ex2.example.com
]]></artwork></figure>
<t>This indicates that the server supports NASREQ (ID=1) over SCTP and
TLS/TCP via hosts server1.ex2.example.com and server2.ex2.example.com respectively.</t>
</section>
</section>
<section title="Usage Guidelines">
<t>Diameter is a peer to peer protocol whereas most of the applications that
extend the base protocol behave like client/server applications. The role
of the peer is not advertised in the NAPTR tags and not even communicated
during Diameter capability negotiation (Capabilities-Exchange-Request and Capabilities-Exchange-Answer message exchange). For this reason,
NAPTR-based Diameter peer discovery for an application defining client/server
roles should only be used by a client to discover servers.

based on the S-NAPTR, which is actually a simplification of the NAPTR,
and therefore the same security considerations described in RFC 3588 are
applicable to this document. No further extensions are required beyond
the security mechanisms offered by RFC 3588.
However, a malicious host doing S-NAPTR queries learns applications
supported by Diameter agents in a certain realm faster, which might
help the malicious host to scan potential targets for an attack
more efficiently when some applications have known vulnerabilities.</t>

<section title="Editor's Notes">
<t>This section to be removed prior to publication.</t>
<t>This draft updates sections of RFC3588 that are also being updated by
RFC3588bis. At the time this draft was started, it was uncertain whether
RFC3588bis would be published first. The authors of this draft decided
to proceed optimistically assuming this draft would be published first
with the understanding that minor updates are required if this is not
the case.
</t>
<t>The application-neutral aspects of Diameter S-NAPTR usage
(e.g "aaa:diameter.sctp") were also contributed to RFC3588bis to ensure
that it would be functionally complete if it got published first and this
draft would come along later to add the application-specific S-NAPTR
entries (e.g."aaa+ap5:diameter.sctp").
</t>
<t>
Depending on the publication order, the S-NAPTR Application Service
Tag registry value of "aaa" and the S-NAPTR Application Protocol Tags
values ("diameter.tcp"/"diameter.sctp"/"diameter.tls.tcp") will need to
be removed either from this draft or RFC3588bis.
