RADIUS Attributes for Dual Stack Access
draft-yeh-radext-dual-stack-access-01
Abstract
This document specifies the RADIUS attributes for IPv4 and IPv6 dual
stack access, which are intended to be used in the AAA processes for
the transfer of user's configuration from AAA server to NAS and
traffic statistics reporting from NAS to AAA server. The new
attributes cover a specified user type for NAS to allocate the proper
resource and employ the right mechanism for the users; and a batch of
IPv4 and IPv6 traffic statistics for the differentiated accounting
policies on the AAA server.

Internet-Draft RADIUS Dual Stack March 2011
1. Introduction
IP sessions got from PPPoE can be either dual-stack IPv4/IPv6
session, IPv6-only, or the legacy IPv4-only session. Alternatively,
IP session can also be obtained from IPoE. The user in the IP
session could be a host or a customer router. In the IPv6 relevant
part of the session, the customer router (CE-Customer Equipment
Router) usually employ DHCPv6-PD to get the delegated prefix for the
customer network, while its WAN (NAS-facing) interface could be
either numbered or unnumbered (Section 2.3, [BBF TR-177]). The WAN
interface of the numbered customer router can either employ SLAAC to
get the prefix for the interface or employ DHCPv6 to get the 128bits
IPv6 address for interface, which acts as the same as the user of
IPv6 host.
There are at least the following types of users that the NAS and the
AAA server is serveed for:
IPv4-only - Host
IPv6-only - Host(Numbered by SLAAC)
IPv6-only - Host(Numbered by DHCPv6)
IPv6-only - Customer Router(Unnumbered)
IPv6-only - Customer Router(Numbered by SLAAC)
IPv6-only - Customer Router(Numbered by DHCPv6)
Dual stack - IPv4 Host + IPv6 Host(Numbered by SLAAC)
Dual stack - IPv4 Host + IPv6 Host(Numbered by DHCPv6)
Dual stack - IPv4 Host + IPv6 Customer Router(Unnumbered)
Dual stack - IPv4 Host + IPv6 Customer Router(Numbered by SLAAC)
Dual stack - IPv4 Host + IPv6 Customer Router(Numbered by DHCPv6)
The different type of users need the NAS (Network Access Server, PE-
Provider Edge Router or BNG-Broadband Network Gateway) employ
different mechanism and allocate different resource for the
associated processes. The addresses assigned and the prefixes
delegated to the customer hosts or routers can not only get from the
AAA server through attributes in the Access-Accept packets, but also
can get dynamically from the local address pool or prefix pool on the
NAS. That means a new attribute is required here for the right
indication of the configuration and proper reporting between the AAA
server and the NAS, which acts as a RADIUS client.
IP sessions got either from PPPoE or from IPoE can support dual-stack
users. It is desired to support either common or separate queues on
NAS for the IPv4 or IPv6 traffic from the users, while the QoS
policies for the IPv4 or IPv6 traffic can be differentiated .
Meanwhile, the NAS is required to support octets counters and packets
counters for the combined or the separated IPv4 or IPv6 traffic
(section 9.4, [BBF TR-187]). After these traffic statistics is

Internet-Draft RADIUS Dual Stack March 2011
reported to the accounting server through RADIUS, the accounting
policies for the IPv4 or IPv6 traffic can be differentiated. Per the
section 9.4 of BBF TR-187, the attributes of Acct-Input-Octets, Acct-
Output-Octets, Acct-Input-Packets, Acct-Output-Packets are
recommended to use for the combination traffic. A batch of new
RADIUS accounting attributes is required here to report the separated
IPv4 or IPv6 traffic statistics to the Accounting Server.
2. Terminology and Language
This document describes some new RADIUS attributes and the associated
usage on NAS and AAA server. This document should be read in
conjunction with the relevant RADIUS specifications, including
[RFC2865], [RFC2866], [RFC2869], [RFC3162] and [RFC4818] for a
complete mechanism. Definitions for terms and acronyms not
specifically defined in this document are defined in RFC2865,
RFC2866, RFC2869, RFC3162 and RFC4818.
The keywords MUST, MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHALL, SHALL NOT, SHOULD,
SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, MAY, and OPTIONAL, when they appear in this
document, are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, [RFC2119].
3. Deployment Scenarios

The meaning of the above table entries is as follows:
0 This attribute MUST NOT be present.
0+ Zero or more instances of this attribute MAY be present.
0-1 Zero or one instance of this attribute MAY be present.
1 Exactly one instance of this attribute MUST be present.
1+ One or more of these attributes MUST be present.
6. Security Considerations
Security issues related RADIUS are described in section 8 of RFC2865
and section 5 of RFC3162.
7. IANA Considerations
IANA is requested to assign 13 new Attribute Types code in the
"Radius Types" registry (http://www.iana.org/assignments/radius-types
for the following attributes:
o User-Type
o Acct-Input-IPv4-Octets
o Acct-Output-IPv4-Octets
o Acct-Input-IPv4-Packets
o Acct-Output-IPv4-Packets
o Acct-Input-IPv4-Gigawords
o Acct-Output-IPv4-Gigawords
o Acct-Input-IPv6-Octets
o Acct-Output-IPv6-Octets
o Acct-Input-IPv6-Packets
o Acct-Output-IPv6-Packets
o Acct-Input-IPv6-Gigawords
o Acct-Output-IPv6-Gigawords
IANA should allocate these codes from the standard RADIUS Attributes
space using the "IETF Review" policy [RFC5226].
