Introduction The DATAGRAM frame [I-D.pauly-quic-datagram] for QUIC [I-D.ietf-quic-transport] is an extension for the unreliable delivery of datagrams. Applications using DATAGRAM negotiate it using Transport Parameters but the application-specific contents are left for a higher-level mechanism. HTTP/3 DATAGRAM [I-D.schinazi-quic-h3-datagram] defines the usage of QUIC DATAGRAM frames when the application protocol running over QUIC is HTTP/3 [I-D.ietf-quic-http], which is negotiated using ALPN [RFC7301] with an identifier such as "h3-24". The HTTP/3 DATAGRAM frame is transmitted as the QUIC DATAGRAM frame Datagram Data field. It contains a flow identifier field that can be used for demultiplexing applications, and an HTTP/3 Datagram Payload field whose semantics are defined by individual applications. Since the QUIC DATAGRAM and HTTP/3 DATAGRAM specifications leave the semantic higher-order behaviour undefined, it is difficult to prove the interoperability of implementations. This document defines SiDUCK (Simple Datagram Usability and Connectivity Kata), a new Pardue Expires May 21, 2020 [Page 2] Internet-Draft SiDUCK November 2019 application that maps directly to QUIC DATAGRAM and uses the Datagram Data field directly to support a simple client-server echo service. Using QUIC DATAGRAM directly provides the benefit of avoiding complexity of HTTP/3 session establishment and flow identifier allocation and demultiplxing. SiDUCK's simpler application semantics allow implementers to exercise the interoperability of foundational layers of DATAGRAM, building progressive assurance that benefits the design and robustness of other DATAGRAM-using applications. 1.1. Notational Conventions The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. The terms sh-token and sh-boolean are imported from [STRUCTURED-HEADERS]. Example HTTP requests and responses use the HTTP/2-style formatting from [RFC7540]. This document uses the variable-length integer encoding from [I-D.ietf-quic-transport]. 2. Negotiating SiDUCK SiDUCK is an application protocol that runs atop QUIC. The token "siduck" is used to identify SiDUCK in ALPN, used during QUIC connection establishment. Only implementations of the final, published RFC can identify themselves as "siduck". Until such an RFC exists, implementations MUST NOT identify themselves using this string. *RFC Editor's Note:* Please remove the following prior to publication of a final version of this document. Implementations of draft versions of the protocol MUST add the string "-" and the corresponding draft number to the identifier. For example, draft-pardue-quic-siduck-00 is identified using the string "siduck-00". Non-compatible experiments that are based on these draft versions MUST append the string "-" and an experiment name to the identifier. For example, an experimental implementation based on draft-pardue- quic-siduck-09 which extends the permitted message types to include "honk" might identify itself as "siduck-09-goose". Note that any Pardue Expires May 21, 2020 [Page 3] Internet-Draft SiDUCK November 2019 label MUST conform to the "token" syntax defined in Section 3.2.6 of [RFC7230]. 3. Protocol Behaviour A SiDUCK session consists of a client and server. Once a SiDUCK session is established, the client SHOULD send a QUIC DATAGRAM frame with the Datagram Data field containing "quack". A server that receives a quack, MUST respond with a QUIC DATAGRAM frame with the Datagram Data field containing "quack-ack". A client MUST NOT send any other message than "quack". A server that receives a non-quack message MUST close the connection with an error of type SIDUCK_ONLY_QUACKS_ECHO. 4. The SIDUCK_ONLY_QUACKS_ECHO error code This document defines the SIDUCK_ONLY_QUACKS_ECHO QUIC Application error code. It has the value 0x101. 5. Known Issues / Problems o The design does not permit large DATAGRAM frames. Sending these in a simple application protocol would be beneficial and within the scope of SiDUCK's goals. o The design does not specify requirements on Transport Parameters. For example, since streams are not used, the spec could require that endpoints send max_streams_{bidi|uni} with the value 0. 6. Security Considerations There are not believed to be any further security considerations beyond those presented in [I-D.ietf-quic-transport]. 7. IANA Considerations TBD 8. References 8.1.
