4. LISP Canonical Address Types
The following sections specify the format of the currently defined set of Type values.¶
Type 0 is used to indicate a "Null Body", which requires the Length value to be set to 0. If the Length value is not 0, the Type 0 MUST be silently ignored.¶
4.1. The AFI List LCAF Type
The AFI List LCAF Type (Type 1) is used to carry a variable number of addresses in a single LCAF instance. The Payload of this LCAF Type is a sequence of one or more AFI-encoded addresses. The AFI List LCAF Type can be used in a variety of applications, some of which are described in the following subsections.¶
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type = 1 | Rsvd2 | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI | Address ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | ... Address | AFI | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Address ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
- AFI:
- Address:
-
this field contains an address value in accordance to the AFI preceding it. It's length is variable and is determined by the AFI. See Table 1 for details.¶
The AFI List LCAF can contain one or more AFI/Address pairs.¶
4.1.1. Binding IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses
When header translation between IPv4 and IPv6 is desirable, a LISP Canonical Address can use the AFI List LCAF Type to carry a variable number of AFIs in one LCAF AFI.¶
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type = 1 | Rsvd2 | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 1 | IPv4 Address ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | ... IPv4 Address | AFI = 2 | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | IPv6 Address ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | ... IPv6 Address ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | ... IPv6 Address ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | ... IPv6 Address | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
This type of address format can be included in a Map-Request when, for example, the IPv6 address is being used as an EID, but the LISP Mapping Database System lookup destination can use only the IPv4 address. This is so a Mapping Database Service Transport System, such as LISP-ALT [RFC6836], can use the Map-Request destination address to route the control message to the desired LISP site.¶
This encoding can be used in EID-records or RLOC-records in Map-Request, Map-Reply, Map-Register, and Map-Notify messages.¶
4.1.2. Layer 2 VPNs
When Media Access Control (MAC) addresses are stored in the LISP Mapping Database System, the AFI List LCAF Type can be used to carry AFI 6.¶
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type = 1 | Rsvd2 | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 6 | Layer 2 MAC Address ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | ... Layer 2 MAC Address | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
This address format can be used to connect Layer 2 domains together using LISP over an IPv4 or IPv6 core network to create a Layer 2 VPN. In this use case, a MAC address is being used as an EID, and the locator-set that this EID maps to can be an IPv4 or IPv6 RLOC, or even another MAC address being used as an RLOC. See [I-D.ietf-lisp-eid-mobility] for an example.¶
4.1.3. ASCII Names in the Mapping Database
If DNS names [RFC1035] or URIs [RFC3986] are stored in the LISP Mapping Database System, the AFI List LCAF Type can be used to carry an ASCII string.¶
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type = 1 | Rsvd2 | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 17 | DNS Name or URI ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
An example for using DNS names is when an ETR registers a mapping with an EID-record encoded as (AFI=1, 192.0.2.0/24) with an RLOC-record (AFI=17, "router.example.com").¶
4.1.4. Using Recursive LISP Canonical Address Encodings
When any combination of the above is desirable, the AFI List LCAF Type value can be used to carry within the LCAF AFI another LCAF AFI (for example, Application-Specific Data in Section 4.4).¶
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type = 1 | Rsvd2 | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type = 4 | Rsvd2 | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | IP TOS, IPv6 TC or Flow Label | Protocol | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Local Port (lower-range) | Local Port (upper-range) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Remote Port (lower-range) | Remote Port (upper-range) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 1 | IPv4 Address ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | ... IPv4 Address | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
This format could be used by a Mapping Database Service Transport System, such as LISP-ALT [RFC6836], where the AFI=1 IPv4 address is used as an EID and placed in the Map-Request destination address by the sending LISP system. The LISP-ALT system can deliver the Map-Request to the LISP destination site independent of the Application Data LCAF Type AFI payload values (Section 4.4). When this AFI is processed by the destination LISP site, it can return different locator sets based on the type of application or level of service that is being requested.¶
4.1.5. Compatibility Mode Use Case
A LISP system should use the AFI List LCAF Type format when sending to LISP systems that do not support a particular LCAF Type used to encode locators. This allows the receiving system to be able to parse a locator address for encapsulation purposes. The list of AFIs in an AFI List LCAF Type has no semantic ordering and a receiver should parse each AFI element no matter what the ordering.¶
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type = 1 | Rsvd2 | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type = 3 | Rsvd2 | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AS Number | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 0 | AFI = 1 | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | IPv4 Address | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
For example, if a system does not recognize the AS Number LCAF Type (Section 4.3) that accompanies a locator address, an encoder can include the AS Number LCAF Type embedded in an AFI List LCAF Type where the AFI in the AS Number LCAF Type is set to 0 and the AFI encoded next in the list is encoded with a valid AFI value to identify the locator address.¶
A LISP system is required to support the AFI List LCAF Type to use this procedure. It would skip over 10 octets of the AS Number LCAF Type to get to the locator address encoding (an IPv4 locator address). A LISP system that does support the AS Number LCAF Type can support parsing the locator address in the encoding that follows in the AFI List LCAF Type.¶
4.2. The Instance ID LCAF Type
The Instance ID LCAF Type (Type 2) is used to carry an Instance ID along with an AFI-based address. The Instance ID can be used when virtualization and segmentation are needed; see see Section 8 of [RFC9300] and [I-D.ietf-lisp-vpn] for more details.¶
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type = 2 | IID mask-len | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Instance ID | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI | Address ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
- IID mask-len:
-
if the AFI is set to 0, then this LCAF is encoding an Instance ID range where this field indicates the number of high-order bits used in the Instance ID field for the range. The low-order bits of the Instance ID field MUST be 0 and ignored.¶
If the AFI is set to any other value, then this LCAF is encoding an extended EID prefix [I-D.ietf-lisp-8111bis]. In this case, this field is not used and MUST be set to 0 on transmission and ignored on receipt.¶
- Instance ID:
-
32-bit unstructured field.¶
- AFI:
-
as specified in Section 4.1. Only AFI values for the Unspecified Encoded Address (0), IPv4 (1), and IPv6 (2) are valid in this LCAF Type. Any other AFI value is invalid and the LCAF Type MUST be silently ignored.¶
- Address:
-
as specified in Section 4.1.¶
4.3. The AS Number LCAF Type
The AS Number LCAF Type (Type 3) is used to carry an Autonomous System (AS) number, which can be stored in the LISP Mapping Database System for either policy or documentation reasons.¶
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type = 3 | Rsvd2 | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AS Number | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI | Address ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
- AS Number:
-
the 32-bit AS number of the autonomous system that has been assigned to either the EID or RLOC that follows. Two-octet AS numbers are encoded by setting the two high-order octets of the field to zero as specified in [RFC6793].¶
- AFI:
-
as specified in Section 4.1. Only AFI values for IPv4 (1) and IPv6 (2) are valid in this LCAF Type. Any other AFI value is invalid and the LCAF Type MUST be silently ignored.¶
- Address:
-
as specified in Section 4.1.¶
The AS Number LCAF Type can be used to encode either EID or RLOC addresses. The former is used to describe the LISP-ALT AS number the EID prefix for the site is being carried for. The latter is used to describe the AS that is carrying RLOC based prefixes in the underlying routing system.¶
4.4. The Application Data LCAF Type
The Application Data LCAF Type (Type 4) is used to carry information about the type of application or Per-Hop Behavior (PHB) [RFC2475] of packets.¶
For example, the Application Data LCAF Type is used for an EID encoding when an ITR wants a locator-set for a specific application. When used for an RLOC encoding, the ETR is supplying a locator-set for each specific application is has been configured to advertise.¶
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type = 4 | Rsvd2 | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | IP TOS, IPv6 TC, or Flow Label | Protocol | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Local Port (lower-range) | Local Port (upper-range) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Remote Port (lower-range) | Remote Port (upper-range) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI | Address ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
- IP TOS, IPv6 TC, or Flow Label:
-
this field stores the 8-bit IPv4 TOS field used in an IPv4 header, the 8-bit IPv6 Traffic Class, or the 20-bit Flow Label used in an IPv6 header. The corresponding field is selected based on the AFI value used in the Address field. The unused bits in this field MUST be set to 0 on transmission. The value MUST be included in the low-order bits of the field.¶
- Protocol:
-
this field stores the protocol number for TCP (6), UDP (17), or Stream Control Transmission Protocol (SCTP) (132). Any other value is invalid and the LCAF Type MUST be silently ignored.¶
- Local Port/Remote Port:
-
these fields are from the TCP [RFC9293], UDP [RFC768], or SCTP [RFC9260] transport header. A range can be specified by using a lower-range and an upper-range. When a single port is encoded, the lower-range and upper-range fields MUST be the same. If the lower-range field is not equal to the upper-range field, then the lower-range field MUST be less than the upper-range field or the LCAF Type MUST be silently ignored.¶
- AFI:
-
as specified in Section 4.1. Only AFI values for IPv4 (1) and IPv6 (2) are valid in this LCAF Type. Any other AFI value is invalid and the LCAF Type MUST be silently ignored.¶
- Address:
-
as specified in Section 4.1.¶
4.5. The Opaque Key LCAF Type
The Opaque Key LCAF Type (Type 6) is used to carry a generic formatted key that can be used to do a LISP Mapping Database System lookup.¶
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type = 6 | Rsvd2 | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Key Field Num | Key Wildcard Fields | Key . . . | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | . . . Key | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
- Key Field Num:
-
the value of this field is the number of "Key" sub-fields minus 1, the key can be broken up into. For example, if this field has a value of 0, there is one "Key" sub-field. The valid values range is 0 to 15. If the value is greater than 15, the LCAF Type MUST be silently ignored.¶
- Key Wildcard Fields:
-
describes which fields in the key are not used as part of the key lookup. This wildcard encoding is a bitfield. Each bit is a don't-care bit for a corresponding Key field. Bit 0 (the low-order bit) in this bitfield corresponds the first Key field, the low-order field in the key, bit 1 the second Key field, and so on. When a bit is set in the bitfield, it is a don't-care bit and should not be considered as part of the database lookup. When the entire 16 bits are set to 0, then all bits of the key are used for the database lookup. Any bits set to 1 that correspond to non-existent Key fields (for example, bit 5 set when there are only 3 Key fields) MUST be ignored.¶
- Key:
-
a series of Key sub-fields contain the variable length key. The length of each sub-field is determined by dividing the total length of the key (Length - 3) by the number of fields (Key Field Num + 1). For example, for a key size of 8 octets (the Length field is set to 11), with a Key Field Num of 3, four sub-fields of 2 octets each are present. The number of Key fields MUST evenly divide (without remainder) into the total length of the key or the LCAF Type MUST be silently ignored.¶
4.6. The NAT-Traversal LCAF Type
The NAT-Traversal LCAF Type (Type 7) can be used to carry information about global and private addresses and port numbers when a LISP system is traversing a Network Address Translation (NAT) device. See [I-D.ietf-lisp-nat-traversal] and [I-D.farinacci-lisp-lispers-net-nat] for examples of its use.¶
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type = 7 | Rsvd2 | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | MS UDP Port Number | ETR UDP Port Number | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI | Global ETR RLOC Address ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI | MS RLOC Address ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI | Private ETR RLOC Address ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI | RTR RLOC Address 1 ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI | RTR RLOC Address k ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
- MS UDP Port Number:
-
this is the UDP port number of the Map-Server and is set to 4342 [RFC9301]. Any other value is invalid and the LCAF Type MUST be silently ignored.¶
- ETR UDP Port Number:
-
this is the port number returned to a LISP system that was copied from the source port from a packet that has flowed through a NAT device.¶
- AFI:
-
as specified in Section 4.1. Except for the last set of addresses (RTR RLOC Addresses, where AFI = 0 is also allowed), only AFI values for IPv4 (1) and IPv6 (2) are valid in this LCAF Type. Any other AFI value is invalid and the LCAF Type MUST be silently ignored. All the AFI fields (including the RTR RLOC Addresses, if not using AFI = 0) MUST be the same. Otherwise, the LCAF Type MUST be silently ignored.¶
- Global ETR RLOC Address:
-
this is an address (as specified in Section 4.1) known to be globally unique built by NAT-traversal functionality in a LISP router.¶
- MS RLOC Address:
-
this is the address (as specified in Section 4.1) of the Map-Server used in the destination RLOC of a packet that has flowed through a NAT device.¶
- Private ETR RLOC Address:
-
this is an address (as specified in Section 4.1) known to be a private address inserted in this LCAF by a LISP router that resides on the private side of a NAT device.¶
- RTR RLOC Address:
-
this is an encapsulation address (as specified in Section 4.1) used by an Ingress Tunnel Router (ITR) or Proxy Ingress Tunnel Router (PITR) that resides behind a NAT device. This address is known to have state in a NAT device so packets can flow from it to the LISP ETR behind the NAT. There can be zero or more NAT Re-encapsulating Tunnel Router (RTR) [RFC9300] addresses supplied in this set of fields. The number of RTRs encoded is determined by the Length field. When there are no RTRs supplied, the RTR fields can be omitted and reflected in the LCAF Length field or an AFI of 0 can be used to indicate zero RTRs encoded.¶
4.7. The Nonce Locator LCAF Type
The Nonce Locator LCAF Type (Type 8) is used to carry a nonce value along with an AFI-based address. This LCAF Type can be used, for example, by a public Proxy-ETR [RFC6832] device to verify who is encapsulating to it: it can check for a specific nonce value in the LISP-encapsulated packet.¶
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type = 8 | Rsvd2 | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Reserved | Nonce | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI | Address ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
- Reserved:
-
this field is reserved for future use and MUST be transmitted as 0 and ignored on receipt.¶
- Nonce:
-
a 24-bit nonce value returned in a Map-Reply locator-record to be used by an ITR/Proxy-ITR when encapsulating to the locator address encoded in the AFI field of this LCAF Type. This nonce value is inserted in the LISP Nonce field in the LISP header encapsulation [RFC9300].¶
- AFI:
-
as specified in Section 4.1. Only AFI values for IPv4 (1) and IPv6 (2) are valid in this LCAF Type. Any other AFI value is invalid and the LCAF Type MUST be silently ignored.¶
- Address:
-
as specified in Section 4.1.¶
4.8. The Multicast Info LCAF Type
The Multicast Info LCAF Type (Type 9) is used to carry multicast group information.¶
Multicast group information can be published in the mapping database using the Multicast Info LCAF Type. This LCAF encoding can also be used to send broadcast packets to all members of a subnet when an EID is away from its home subnet location.¶
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type = 9 | Rsvd2 | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Instance ID | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Reserved | Source MaskLen| Group MaskLen | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI | Source/Subnet Address ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI | Group Address ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
- Instance ID:
-
as defined in Section 4.2. The Instance ID in this LCAF can be used to associate a multicast forwarding entry for a given VPN.¶
- Reserved:
-
this field is reserved for future use and MUST be transmitted as 0 and ignored on receipt.¶
- Source MaskLen:
-
the mask length of the Source/Subnet Address that follows. The length is the number of high-order mask bits set.¶
- Group MaskLen:
-
the mask length of the Group Address that follows. The length is the number of high-order mask bits set.¶
- AFI:
-
as specified in Section 4.1. Only AFI values for IPv4 (1) and IPv6 (2) are valid in this LCAF Type. Any other AFI value is invalid and the LCAF Type MUST be silently ignored. All the AFI fields MUST be the same. Otherwise, the LCAF Type MUST be silently ignored.¶
- Source/Subnet Address:
-
the source address (as specified in Section 4.1) or prefix for encoding an (S,G) multicast entry [RFC4607]. A special wildcard value consisting of an address field of all zeros can be used to indicate any source.¶
- Group Address:
-
the group address or group prefix for encoding (S,G) or (*,G) multicast entries [RFC7761]. This field MUST be either a multicast address or a broadcast address. Otherwise, the LCAF Type MUST be silently ignored.¶
4.9. The Explicit Locator Path LCAF Type
The Explicit Locator Path (ELP) LCAF Type (Type 10) is used to carry a list of locators in an explicit re-encapsulation path. See [I-D.ietf-lisp-te] for an example.¶
0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | AFI = 16387 | Rsvd1 | Flags | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type = 10 | Rsvd2 | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Reserved |L|P|S| AFI | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Reencap Hop 1 ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Reserved |L|P|S| AFI | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Reencap Hop k ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
- Reserved:
-
this field is reserved for future use and MUST be transmitted as 0 and ignored on receipt.¶
- L (Lookup bit):
-
this bit indicates that the address (in the Reencap Hop field) should not be used for encapsulation, but to look it up in the mapping database system to obtain an encapsulating RLOC address.¶
- P (RLOC Probe bit):
-
this bit indicates the Reencap Hop allows RLOC-probe messages [RFC9301] to be sent to it. When the P bit is set to 0, RLOC-probes MUST NOT be sent. If the Reencap Hop is an anycast address then the bit SHOULD be set to 0.¶
- S (Strict bit):
-
this bit, which indicates that the associated Reencap Hop is REQUIRED to be used. If this bit is 0, the re-encapsulator MAY skip this Reencap Hop and go to the next one in the list.¶
