  <section title="Introduction">
   <t>This specification defines a new neighbor discovery protocol message option, 
   the Prefix Information Option with Meta Data (PIOMD), 
   that indicate, for example, the mobility management properties associated
   to the prefix, and a class value that conveys metadata associated to
   the prefix with a local administrative domain wide importance. The solution may
   use of Multiple Provisioning Domains (MPVD) framework <xref target="RFC7556"/> 
   <xref target="I-D.ietf-mif-mpvd-ndp-support"/>.
   Furthermore, the specification discusses corresponding source address
   selection hint issues with the IPv6 Socket API and applications in general
   <xref target="I-D.ietf-dmm-ondemand-mobility"/>.
   </t>
   <t>For example, the IPv6 Socket API for Source Address Selection <xref
    target="RFC5014"/> already covers Mobile IPv6 <xref target="RFC6275"/> and
    allows selecting between a home address (HoA) and a care-of address (CoA).
    A mobile node (MN) with a client based mobility IP stack is supposed to know
    which prefixes are CoA(s) and/or HoA(s).  However, this is not the case with
    network based mobility management where the MN is expected to be agnostic of
    the mobility support. 
   </t>
   <t>The extensions are minimal in a sense that
    they do not define new functionality, for example, to any existing mobility
    protocol but instead add an explicit indication of network based mobility
    knowledge into the IPv6 stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC) <xref
    target="RFC4862"/>.  The heavy lifting is mostly on the applications side
    and on the IP stack providing interface for applications, since they need
    to make use of the new functionality. The new functionality is achieved by
    defining a new, backward compatible, IPv6 neighbor discovery protocol
    options that convey the required prefix related meta data information the
    SLAAC procedure may take use of. 
   </t>
   <t>This  would allow for network based mobility solutions, such as Proxy 
    Mobile IPv6 <xref target="RFC5213"/> or GTP <xref target="TS.29274"/> to 
    explicitly indicate that their prefixes have mobility, and therefore, the MN 
    IP stack or specifically applications can make an educated selection between
    prefixes that have mobility and those that do not. There is also a potential
    need to extend both <xref 
    target="RFC3493"/> and <xref target="RFC5014"/> in order to provide required 
    hooks into socket APIs. 
   </t>
   <t>The underlying assumption is that a MN has multiple prefixes to
    choose from.  Typically this means either the MN has multiple interfaces or
    an interface has been configured with multiple prefixes.  This specification
    does not make a distinction between these alternatives and does not either
    make any assumptions how the possible transfer of a prefix is done between
    interfaces in the case a network based mobility solution is used.
   </t>
  </section>
  
  <section title="Background and Motivation">
  <t> This section discusses the motivations behind adding metadata and
   other address selection decision making affecting information into
   IPv6 prefixes. The additional information is conveyed from the network
   to a end host during the IPv6 address configuration phase. The motivation
   example taken from and discussed below is from the mobile networks.
  </t>
   <t>IP mobility and its centralized topological anchoring of IP addresses
    has known issues. For instance, non-optimal routing is a classical example.
    Another concerns include excessive tunneling, increased signaling due the
    maintenance of mobility related bindings, aggregation of traffic to 
    centralized mobility anchor gateways and unnecessary IP mobility related 
    state management for IP traffic that does not as such benefit from mobility. 
    In general, it is observed that most applications do not need IP level 
    mobility, and work just fine with "temporary" IP addresses that come and go. 
    However, IP mobility still has its virtues making the applications unaware 
    of mobility, and certain wireless mobile networking architecture make 
    extensive use of network based IP mobility.
   </t>
   <t>In order to overcome some of the above issues, use of local resources and
    topologically local addressing could be enhanced. In many cases this would
    lead to use of multiple addresses of which some provide mobility and some do
    not. However, an end host has to have means to distinguish between addresses
    that provide mobility, and those that are short lived and usable only within
    a limited topological area. 
   </t>
   <t><xref target="RFC7333"/> discussed the requirements for distributed 
     mobility management and <xref target="RFC7429"/> describes the gaps 
     from current best practices and the desired approaches for de-centralized
     mobility management. One approach is using the dynamic anchoring
     for distributed de-centralized mobility management.
     The idea is to use the local allocated prefix for any newly initiated
     'IP session' and use the previously allocated prefix for the ongoing 
     sessions.  This specification can be used to implement the prefix selection 
     for dynamic anchoring. For example, both the locally allocated and the 
     remotely  allocated/anchored prefixes can be identified by the prefix 
     property option as described in <xref target="suboptions"/>.
   </t> 
   <t>The solution described in this document also shares similar motivations
    for classifying the prefix as described in <xref
    target="I-D.bhandari-dhc-class-based-prefix"/>.  Some service providers
    may wish to allocate specific prefixes for some services or type of
    traffic. In this situation, the end host must be able to classify
    prefixes according to type of service.
    </t>
    <t>This specification provides tools for extending the IPv6 address
    management and source address selection so that end hosts (and their
    applications) can select a proper address for their needs. This
    specification complements <xref
    target="I-D.bhandari-dhc-class-based-prefix"/> by providing the SLAAC
    version of the additional prefix related meta data information delivery
    compared to the DHCPv6 stateful approach.
   </t>

  <section title="Option Formats" anchor="options">
   <section title="Prefix Meta Data" anchor="piomd">
  
   <t>This specification defines a new neighbor discovery protocol 
    message option, the Prefix Information Option with Meta Data (PIOMD), to be
    used in router advertisement messages. The PIOMD is treated as the
    same as <xref target="RFC4861"/> Prefix Information Option (PIO)
    except with an addition of new meta data suboptions.
   </t>
   <t>The PIOMD can coexist with RFC4861 PIO. The prefixes advertised in 
   both PIOMD and PIO can even be the same. It is up to the receiving end
   host to select the appropriate prefix(es) for configuring its IPv6
   addresses. In a case the PIO and the PIOMD share the same prefix, then
   all the other parameter (like flags and lifetimes) MUST be the same.

   The prefix properties values are defined in Section 6.1. of 
   <xref target="I-D.bhandari-dhc-class-based-prefix"/>. When an end host
   receives a router advertisement message with a PIOMD and the prefix 
   properties suboption, it can use the suboption information as an additional
   hint for selecting the prefix for a desired purpose and use case. The
   prefix properties have global meaning i.e., they have the same treatment and
   handling cross administrative domains. The value for the 'C' flag SHOULD be
   one (1). This also implies that if the prefix properties bit vector has
   a flag bit set, which the receiving end host does not understand and the
   'C' flag is also set, then the whole PIOMD option MUST be discarded.

    Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC). As described in

   <section title="Internal Data Structures">
    <t>The host internal data structures need to be extended with the 'prefix 
     property' and the 'prefix class' information associated to the learned
     prefix and configured 
     addresses. How this is accomplished is host implementation specific. It is 
     also a host implementation issue how an application can learn or query
     both properties or class of an address or a prefix. One possibility is to 
     provide such information through the socket API extensions (see discussion 
     in <xref target="I-D.ietf-dmm-ondemand-mobility"/>). Other possibilities include 
     the use of e.g., ioctl() or NetLink <xref target="RFC3549"/> extensions.
    </t>
   </section>

   <section title="Default Address Selection">
    <t>The 'prefix property' is only used as
    a hint.  It does not affect the existing <xref target="RFC6724"/> 
    automatically. A specific rule
     to host's policy table has to be inserted by 
    an application or some daemon process. Alternatively, an application can 
    express its address mobility property preferences through the socket API 
    extensions (see discussion in <xref target="I-D.ietf-dmm-ondemand-mobility"/>), 
    which means the socket library or middleware has to modify <xref 
    target="RFC6724"/> policy table or algorithm.
    </t>
   <t>The 'prefix properties' flags MAY define the prefix preference for an IP
    stack that  understands the extensions defined in this specification. The IP

   <t>The 'prefix class' defines an application 'class' the advertised prefix is intended
    to be used for. The class has only local administrative domain significance. The
    'prefix class' can be used, for example, to identify prefixes that are meant to be
    used reach a voice over IP (VoIP) service or a video streaming application within the
    local administrative network. A specific application in the end host MAY use this
    additional class information when enumerating through multiple available addresses and
    then select a specific address to be used for its purposes.

  <section title="Router Considerations">
   <t>A network administrator MAY configure routers complying to this
   specification also send router advertisements with the PIOMD
   option into every router advertisement that also contains the <xref
   target="RFC4861"/> PIO option. Since the PIOMD sending router has no prior
   knowledge whether the end hosts on the link support the PIOMD option, it is
   strongly RECOMMENDED that both <xref target="RFC4861"/> PIO and the PIOMD
   are always included in the router advertisement, even if the advertised
   prefixes were the same.  Alternatively (or in addition) multiple provisioning
   domains <xref target="I-D.ietf-mif-mpvd-ndp-support"/> can be used to
   separate prefixes advertised using PIOMD options. See <xref target="mpvd"/>
   for further details.</t>
   
   <t>A router can also make use of the 'C' flag handling in the PIOMD
   suboptions when introducing new functionality into the network. Since it is
   possible to include multiple suboptions of the same type into the PIOMD
   option, the router can easily make a difference between e.g., prefix
   properties that must be understood by the receiver and those that can safely
   be ignored.  </t>

  <section title="Multiple Provisioning Domain Considerations" anchor="mpvd">
   <t>Multiple Provisioning Domains (MPVD) framework <xref target="RFC7556"/>
    allows grouping network configuration information under an explicitly named
    provisioning domain (which can be, for example, a Network Access Identifier
    (NAI) of the mobility service provider <xref
    target="I-D.ietf-mif-mpvd-id"/>). This would allow network operators to
    place mobility related configuration information (including prefixes) under
    specific explicit provisioning domains and non-mobile configuration
    information into other explicit domain or implicit provisioning domains.
   </t>
   <t>MPVDs are the RECOMMENDED way to deliver PIOMD options. This allows mobile
    hosts to query for mobility related configuration information and network
    operators selectively advertise mobility related network configurations. MPVDs
    also provide adequate security features for mobile hosts to verify the authenticity
    of the configuration information.
    However, MPVD does not

  <section title="Security Considerations">
   <t>Existing Prefix Information Option related security considerations apply
   as described in <xref target="RFC4861"/> and <xref target="RFC4191"/>.  A
   malicious node on the shared link could include stale metadata
   in a PIOMD causing the host to learn wrong
   information regarding the prefix and thus make misguided selection of
   prefixes on the link. Similarly a malicious middleman on the link could
   modify or remove metadata in the PIOMD causing
   misguided selection of prefixes. In order to avoid on-link attacks, SeND
   <xref target="RFC3971"/> can be used to reject Router Advertisements from
   potentially malicious nodes and guarantee integrity protection of the Router
   Advertisements.   </t>
   <t>If MPVD support for NDP <xref target="I-D.ietf-mif-mpvd-ndp-support"/> is used,
   then the mobile host can use its security features to verify the authenticity
   and correctness of the received PIOMD information.
   </t>
  </section>
        
  <section title="IANA Considerations">
   <t><xref target="piomd"/> defines a new IPv6 Neighbor
   Discovery protocol option type TBD1 for the Prefix Information Option with
   Meta Data. The type value is defined in the existing 'IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
   Option Formats' IANA registry.
   </t>
   <t><xref target="suboptions"/> defines a new IANA registry for the Prefix 
   Information Option with Meta Data suboptions. The registry allocation policy
   is Standards Action <xref target="RFC5226"/>. The initial allocations 
   for the prefix properties and prefix class suboptions are listed in
   <xref target="suboptions"/>.
