1. Introduction 
    
   IEEE 802.21 [IEEE802.21] defines three distinct service types to 
   facilitate link layer handovers across heterogeneous technologies: 
    
   a) Information Services (IS) 
        IS provides a unified framework to the higher layer entities 
   across the heterogeneous network environment to facilitate discovery 
   and selection of multiple types of networks existing within a 
   geographical area, with the objective to help the higher layer 
   mobility protocols to acquire a global view of the heterogeneous 
   networks and perform seamless handover across these networks. 
    
   b) Event Services (ES)

Mobility Services DHCP Options                              April 2008 
    
        Events may indicate changes in state and transmission behavior 
   of the physical, data link and logical link layers, or predict state 
   changes of these layers. The Event Service may also be used to 
   indicate management actions or command status on the part of the 
   network or some management entity. 
    
   c) Command Services (CS) 
        The command service enables higher layers to control the 
   physical, data link, and logical link layers. The higher layers may 
   control the reconfiguration or selection of an appropriate link 
   through a set of handover commands. 
    
   In IEEE terminology these services are called Media Independent 
   Handover (MIH) services. 
   While these services may be co-located, the different pattern and 
   type of information they provide does not necessitate the co-
   location. 
    
   An MN may make use of any of these MIH service types separately or 
   any combination of them.  
    
   In practice a Mobility Server may not necessarily host all three of 
   these MIH services together, thus there is a need to discover the 
   MIH services types separately. 
    
   This document defines three dhcpv4 options, one for each of the 
   services defined in [IEEE802.21], which allow the MN to locate a 
   Mobility Server which hosts the desired service type (i.e. IS, ES or 
   CS). The document also defines three DHCPv6 options which allow the 
   MN to discover Mobility Servers hosting MIH services in different 
   deployment scenarios. Apart from manual configuration, this is one 
   of the possible solutions for locating a server providing Mobility 
   Services.  
    
2. DHCPv4 Options for MoS Discovery 
    
   This section describes the three options for DHCPv4. 
    
   The DHCPv4 options for MoS discovery carry either a 32-bit (binary) 
   IPv4 address or, preferably, a DNS [RFC1035] fully-qualified domain 
   name (FQDN) to be used by the MN to locate a server hosting either 
   an IS, an ES or a CS MIH service. 
    
   The options have two encodings, specified by the encoding byte 
   ('enc') that follows the code byte. If the encoding byte has the 
   value 0, it is followed by a list of domain names, as described 
   below (Section 2.1). If the encoding byte has the value 1, it is 
   followed by one or more IPv4 addresses (Section 2.2). All 
   implementations MUST support both encodings.  
   A DHCP server MUST NOT mix the two encodings in the same DHCP 
   message, even if it sends two different instances of the same 
   option. Attempts to do so would result in incorrect client behavior

   as DHCP processing rules call for the concatenation of multiple 
   instances of an option into a single option prior to processing the 
   option [RFC3396]. 
    
   The code for the MIH IS option is XXX (to be assigned by IANA, TBD). 
   The code for the MIH ES option is YYY (to be assigned by IANA, TBD). 
   The code for the MIH CS option is ZZZ (to be assigned by IANA, TBD). 
    
2.1 Domain Name List 
    
   If the 'enc' byte has a value of 0, the encoding byte is followed by 
   a sequence of labels, encoded according to Section 3.1 of [RFC1035], 
   quoted below: 
    
        Domain names in messages are expressed in terms of a sequence 
        of labels. Each label is represented as a one octet length 
        field followed by that number of octets.  Since every domain 
        name ends with the null label of the root, a domain name is 
        terminated by a length byte of zero. The high order two bits of 
        every length octet must be zero, and the remaining six bits of 
        the length field limit the label to 63 octets or less. To 
        simplify implementations, the total length of a domain name 
        (i.e., label octets and label length octets) is restricted to 
        255 octets or less. 
    
   [RFC1035] encoding was chosen to accommodate future international-
   lized domain name mechanisms. The minimum length for this encoding 
   is 3. 
    
   The option MAY contain multiple domain names, but these SHOULD refer 
   to different NAPTR records, rather than different A records. The 
   client MUST try the records in the order listed, applying the 
   mechanism described in [MoS-DNS] for each. The client only resolves 
   the subsequent domain names if attempts to contact the first one 
   failed or yielded no common transport protocols between the MN and 
   the server. 
    
   Use of multiple domain names is not meant to replace NAPTR and SRV 
   records, but rather to allow a single DHCP server to indicate MIH 
   servers operated by multiple providers. 
    
   Clients MUST support compression according to the encoding in 
   Section 4.1.4 of "Domain Names - Implementation And Specification" 
   [RFC1035]. 
    
        Since the domain names are supposed to be different domains, 
        compression will likely have little effect, however. 
    
   If the length of the domain list exceeds the maximum permissible 
   within a single option (254 octets), then the domain list MUST be 
   represented in the DHCP message as specified in [RFC3396].

Mobility Services DHCP Options                              April 2008 
    
   The DHCP option for this encoding has the following format: 
    
           Code  Len   enc   DNS name of MoS server 
         +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-- 
         | XXX |  n  |  0  |  s1 |  s2 |  s3 |  s4 | s5  |  ... 
         +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-- 
    
   As an example, consider the case where the server wants to offer two 
   MIH IS servers, "example.com" and "example.net".  These would be 
   encoded as follows: 
    
   +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ 
   |XXX|27 | 0 | 7 |'e'|'x'|'a'|'m'|'p'|'l'|'e'| 3 |'c'|'o'|'m'| 0 | 
   +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ 
   +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ 
   | 7 |'e'|'x'|'a'|'m'|'p'|'l'|'e'| 3 |'n'|'e'|'t'| 0 | 
   +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ 
    
2.2 IPv4 Address List 
    
   If the 'enc' byte has a value of 1, the encoding byte is followed by 
   a list of IPv4 addresses indicating appropriate MIH servers 
   available to the MN. Servers MUST be listed in order of preference. 
    
   Its minimum length is 5, and the length MUST be a multiple of 4 plus 
   one. The DHCP option for this encoding has the following format: 
    
          Code   Len   enc  IPv4 Address 1          IPv4 Address 2 
         +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-- 
         | XXX |  n  |  1  | a1  | a2  | a3  | a4  | a1  |  ... 
         +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-- 
    
 
3. DHCPv6 Options for MoS discovery 
    
   This section introduces new DHCPv6 options used for MoS discovery. 
    
   Whether the MN receives an MoS address from local or home network 
   will depend on the actual network deployment. In general, following 
   rules apply to discovery rules:  
    
   a) In a split scenario, where the network access authentication is 
   independent of the home network authentication, the MN will discover 
   the MoS in the local (visited) network. 
    
   b) In an integrated scenario, where the network access 
   authentication is performed by the home network, the MN will 
   discover the MoS as per the home network policy, usually stored in 
   the subscription profile. When the policy dictates that an MoS 
   located in the home network has to be used, the address of the MoS 
   from the home network may be sent to a NAS (via AAA protocols) to 
   the visited network during the authentication procedure. A DHCP relay

   agent may be provisioned accordingly to foward the MOS address to 
   the DHCP Server.  
    
   The DHCPv6 options defined in this section together with the 
   procedures defined in section 4 can support both scenarios. 
    
 
3.1 MoS Identifier Option 
 
   This option is included in the Information-request message and used 
   to request the address of a specific (e.g., IS, ES, CS or its 
   combination) MoS-type from a DHCP server.

               The type of Mobility Services the MN is looking for, 
               i.e. IS, ES or CS or a combination of these: 
                    1    IS service 
                    2    ES service 
                    3    both IS and ES services 
                    4    CS service 
                    5    IS and CS services 
                    6    ES and CS services 
                    7    IS, ES and CS services 
 
3.2 IPv6 Relay Agent MoS Option 
    
   This option carries the home network information which was 
   transferred to the NAS from AAAH by using [I-D.ietf-mip6-radius-MoS, 
   TBD]. The DHCP relay agent sends this option to the DHCP server in 
   the Relay-forward Message.

Mobility Services DHCP Options                              April 2008 
    
   The requesting and sending of the proposed DHCPv4 options follow the 
   rules for DHCP options in [RFC2131]. 
    
4.1.1 Mobile Node behavior 
    
   The mobile node may perform the MoS information discovery procedure 
   either during initial association with a network or when the 
   mobility service is required. It may also try to perform the MoS 
   information discovery when it lacks the network information for MoS 
   or needs to change the  MoS for some reasons, for instance, to 
   recover from the single point of failure of the existing MoS.  
    
   In order to acquire the MoS information, the mobile node MUST send 
   either a DHCPDISCOVER or DHCPINFORM message to a subnet broadcast or 
   a unicast server address, respectively. In this message the mobile 
   node (DHCP client) MUST include the Option Code for the MoS 
   Discovery in the options field. 
    
4.1.2 DHCP Server behavior 
    
   When the DHCP server receives the DHCPDISCOVER or DHCPINFORM message 
   with the MoS Discovery option in the options field, the DHCP server 
   MUST follow the [RFC2131] logic to construct either a DHCPOFFER or 
   DHCPACK message including the MoS Discovery option. The reply 
   message may contain the IP address or the FQDN of the MoS Server. 
    
   In case that the server cannot find any MoS information, it MUST 
   return the MoS Discovery option by setting the MoS Server address 
   0.0.0.0 with 'enc' 1.  
    
4.2 DHCPv6 Options for MoS discovery 
    
   The requesting and sending of the proposed DHCPv6 options follow the 
   rules for DHCP options in [RFC3315]. 
    
4.2.1 Mobile node behavior 
    
   The mobile node may perform the MoS information discovery procedure 
   either during initial association with a network or when the 
   mobility service is required. It may also try to perform the MoS 
   information discovery when it lacks the network information for MoS 
   or needs to change the  MoS for some reasons, for instance, to 
   recover from the single point of failure of the existing MoS  
    
   In order to acquire the MoS address, the mobile node MUST send an 
   Information-request message to the All_DHCP_Relay_Agents_and_Servers 
   multicast address. In this message the mobile node (DHCP client) 
   MUST include the Option Code for the MoS Discovery option in the 
   option_code. 
    
4.2.2 DHCP Relay Agent behavior

Mobility Services DHCP Options                              April 2008 
    
   Upon receiving the Information-request from the mobile node, the 
   DHCP relay agent MUST forward the message to the DHCP server as per 
   [RFC3315]. 
   If the relay agent determines that the AAAV/NAS has passed MoS 
   information for this mobile node and has available MoS information 
   for it, the relay agent MUST include the MoS information in the MIP6 
   Relay Agent option, and attach this option in the Relay-forward 
   message. 
   In case the relay agent does not maintain any MoS information for 
   the requesting mobile node, it simply forwards the received message 
   to the DHCP server according to the [RFC3315]. 
    
   Upon receiving a Relay-reply message from the DHCPv6 server, the 
   relay agent MUST follow the guidelines defined in [RFC3315]. The 
   relay agent extracts the Reply message from the Relay Message option 
   in the Relay-reply message and relays it to the mobile node. 
    
4.2.3 DHCP Server behavior 
    
   When the DHCP Server receives the Information-request message with 
   the MoS Identifier option in the Relay-forward message, it looks for 
   a MIP6 Relay Agent Option containing MoS Information. The 
   Information-request message may not include the MIP6 Relay Agent 
   option in case there was no MoS information available at the NAS / 
   DHCP Relay Agent for a mobile node. 
    
   The DHCP server MUST follow the following logic to construct a Reply 
   message with the MoS Information option, and include the Reply 
   message in the payload of a Relay Message option of Relay-reply 
   message.  
    
   If the DHCP server has the requested MoS information, it MUST 
   include the information in the MoS Information option. The server 
   may  provide the matching information either extracted from the MIP6 
   Relay Agent option or from the preconfigured information available 
   locally.  
    
5. Security Considerations 
    
   The security considerations in [RFC2131] apply. If an adversary 
   manages to modify the response from a DHCP server or insert its own 
   response, an MN could be led to contact a rogue Mobility Server, 
   possibly one that then would provide wrong information, event or 
   command for handover.  
    
   It is recommended to use either DHCP authentication option described 
   in [RFC3118] where available, or rely upon link layer security. This 
   will also protect the denial of service attacks to DHCP servers. 
   [RFC3118] provides mechanisms for both entity authentication and 
   message authentication.
