Introduction The Internet security 'battle' between the adversary and security countermeasures is an everlasting one. DDoS attacks have become more vicious and sophisticated in almost all aspects of their maneuvers and malevolent intentions. IT organizations and service providers Reddy, et al. Expires January 23, 2020 [Page 2] Internet-DraDOTS Telemetry for Efficient Protective Networkin July 2019 are facing DDoS attacks that fall into two broad categories: Network/ Transport layer attacks and Application layer attacks. Network/ Transport layer attacks target the victim's infrastructure. These attacks are not necessarily aimed at taking down the actual delivered services, but rather to eliminate various network elements (routers, switches, firewalls, transit links, and so on) from serving legitimate user traffic. The main method of such attacks is to send a large volume or high PPS of traffic toward the victim's infrastructure. Typically, attack volumes may vary from a few 100 Mbps/PPS to 100s of Gbps or even Tbps. Attacks are commonly carried out leveraging botnets and attack reflectors for amplification attacks, such as NTP, DNS, SNMP, SSDP, and so on. Application layer attacks target various applications. Typical examples include attacks against HTTP/HTTPS, DNS, SIP, SMTP, and so on. However, all valid applications with their port numbers open at network edges can be attractive attack targets. Application layer attacks are considered more complex and hard to categorize, therefore harder to detect and mitigate efficiently. To compound the problem, attackers also leverage multi-vectored attacks. These merciless attacks are assembled from dynamic attack vectors (Network/Application) and tactics. As such, multiple attack vectors formed by multiple attack types and volumes are launched simultaneously towards a victim. Multi-vector attacks are harder to detect and defend. Multiple and simultaneous mitigation techniques are needed to defeat such attack campaigns. It is also common for attackers to change attack vectors right after a successful mitigation, burdening their opponents with changing their defense methods. The ultimate conclusion derived from these real scenarios is that modern attacks detection and mitigation are most certainly complicated and highly convoluted tasks. They demand a comprehensive knowledge of the attack attributes, the targeted normal behavior/ traffic patterns, as well as the attacker's on-going and past actions. Even more challenging, retrieving all the analytics needed for detecting these attacks is not simple to obtain with the industry's current capabilities. The DOTS signal channel protocol [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel] is used to carry information about a network resource or a network (or a part thereof) that is under a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. Such information is sent by a DOTS client to one or multiple DOTS servers so that appropriate mitigation actions are undertaken on traffic deemed suspicious. Various use cases are discussed in [I-D.ietf-dots-use-cases]. Reddy, et al. Expires January 23, 2020 [Page 3] Internet-DraDOTS Telemetry for Efficient Protective Networkin July 2019 Typically, DOTS clients can be integrated within a DDoS attack detector, or network and security elements that have been actively engaged with ongoing attacks. The DOTS client mitigation environment determines that it is no longer possible or practical for it to handle these attacks. This can be due to lack of resources or security capabilities, as derived from the complexities and the intensity of these attacks. In this circumstance, the DOTS client has invaluable knowledge about the actual attacks that need to be handled by the DOTS server. By enabling the DOTS client to share this comprehensive knowledge of an ongoing attack under specific circumstances, the DOTS server can drastically increase its abilities to accomplish successful mitigation. While the attack is being handled by the DOTS server associated mitigation resources, the DOTS server has the knowledge about the ongoing attack mitigation. The DOTS server can share this information with the DOTS client so that the client can better assess and evaluate the actual mitigation realized. In some deployments, DOTS clients can send mitigation hints derived from attack details to DOTS servers, with the full understanding that the DOTS server may ignore mitigation hints, as described in [RFC8612] (Gen-004). Mitigation hints will be transmitted across the DOTS signal channel, as the data channel may not be functional during an attack. How a DOTS server is handling normal and attack traffic attributes, and mitigation hints is implementation-specific. Both DOTS client and server can benefit this information by presenting various information in relevant management, reporting, and portal systems. This document defines DOTS telemetry attributes the DOTS client can convey to the DOTS server, and vice versa. The DOTS telemetry attributes are not mandatory fields. Nevertheless, when DOTS telemetry attributes are available to a DOTS agent, and absent any policy, it can signal the attributes in order to optimize the overall mitigation service provisioned using DOTS. Some of the DOTS telemetry data are not shared during an attack time. 2. Terminology The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119][RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. The reader should be familiar with the terms defined in [RFC8612]. Reddy, et al. Expires January 23, 2020 [Page 4] Internet-DraDOTS Telemetry for Efficient Protective Networkin July 2019 "DOTS Telemetry" is defined as the collection of attributes that are used to characterize normal traffic baseline, attacks and their mitigation measures, and any related information that may help in enforcing countermeasures. The DOTS Telemetry is an optional set of attributes that can be signaled in the DOTS signal channel protocol. The meaning of the symbols in YANG tree diagrams is defined in [RFC8340]. 3. DOTS Telemetry: Overview & Purpose When signaling a mitigation request, it is most certainly beneficial for the DOTS client to signal to the DOTS server any knowledge regarding ongoing attacks. This can happen in cases where DOTS clients are asking the DOTS server for support in defending against attacks that they have already detected and/or mitigated. These actions taken by DOTS clients are referred to as "signaling the DOTS Telemetry". If attacks are already detected and categorized by the DOTS client domain, the DOTS server, and its associated mitigation services, can proactively benefit this information and optimize the overall service delivered. It is important to note that DOTS client and server detection and mitigation approaches can be different, and can potentially outcome different results and attack classifications. The DDoS mitigation service treats the ongoing attack details from the client as hints and cannot completely rely or trust the attack details conveyed by the DOTS client. A basic requirement of security operation teams is to be aware and get visibility into the attacks they need to handle. The DOTS server security operation teams benefit from the DOTS telemetry, especially from the reports of ongoing attacks. Even if some mitigation can be automated, operational teams can use the DOTS telemetry to be prepared for attack mitigation and to assign the correct resources (operation staff, networking and mitigation) for the specific service. Similarly, security operation personnel at the DOTS client side ask for feedback about their requests for protection. Therefore, it is valuable for the DOTS server to share DOTS telemetry with the DOTS client. Thus mutual sharing of information is crucial for "closing the mitigation loop" between the DOTS client and server. For the server side team, it is important to realize that the same attacks that the DOTS server's mitigation resources are seeing are those that the DOTS client is asking to mitigate. For the DOTS client side team, it is important to realize that the DOTS clients receive the required service. For example: understanding that "I asked for mitigation of two attacks and my DOTS server detects and mitigates only one...". Cases of inconsistency in attack Reddy, et al. Expires January 23, 2020 [Page 5] Internet-DraDOTS Telemetry for Efficient Protective Networkin July 2019 classification between DOTS client and server can be high-lighted, and maybe handled, using the DOTS telemetry attributes. In addition, management and orchestration systems, at both DOTS client and server sides, can potentially use DOTS telemetry as a feedback to automate various control and management activities derived from ongoing information signaled. If the DOTS server's mitigation resources have the capabilities to facilitate the DOTS telemetry, the DOTS server adopts its protection strategy and activates the required countermeasures immediately (automation enabled). The overall results of this adoption are optimized attack mitigation decisions and actions. The DOTS telemetry can also be used to tune the DDoS mitigators with the correct state of the attack. During the last few years, DDoS attack detection technologies have evolved from threshold-based detection (that is, cases when all or specific parts of traffic cross a pre-defined threshold for a certain period of time is considered as an attack) to an "anomaly detection" approach. In anomaly detection, the main idea is to maintain rigorous learning of "normal" behavior and where an "anomaly" (or an attack) is identified and categorized based on the knowledge about the normal behavior and a deviation from this normal behavior. Machine learning approaches are used such that the actual "traffic thresholds" are "automatically calculated" by learning the protected entity normal traffic behavior during peace time. The normal traffic characterization learned is referred to as the "normal traffic baseline". An attack is detected when the victim's actual traffic is deviating from this normal baseline. In addition, subsequent activities toward mitigating an attack are much more challenging. The ability to distinguish legitimate traffic from attacker traffic on a per packet basis is complex. This complexity originates from the fact that the packet itself may look "legitimate" and no attack signature can be identified. The anomaly can be identified only after detailed statistical analysis. DDoS attack mitigators use the normal baseline during the mitigation of an attack to identify and categorize the expected appearance of a specific traffic pattern. Particularly the mitigators use the normal baseline to recognize the "level of normality" needs to be achieved during the various mitigation process. Normal baseline calculation is performed based on continuous learning of the normal behavior of the protected entities. The minimum learning period varies from hours to days and even weeks, depending on the protected application behavior. The baseline cannot be learned during active attacks because attack conditions do not characterize the protected entities' normal behavior. Reddy, et al. Expires January 23, 2020 [Page 6] Internet-DraDOTS Telemetry for Efficient Protective Networkin July 2019 If the DOTS client has calculated the normal baseline of its protected entities, signaling this attribute to the DOTS server along with the attack traffic levels is significantly valuable. The DOTS server benefits from this telemetry by tuning its mitigation resources with the DOTS client's normal baseline. The DOTS server mitigators use the baseline to familiarize themselves with the attack victim's normal behavior and target the baseline as the level of normality they need to achieve. Consequently, the overall mitigation performances obtained are dramatically improved in terms of time to mitigate, accuracy, false-negative, false-positive, and other measures. Mitigation of attacks without having certain knowledge of normal traffic can be inaccurate at best. This is especially true for recursive signaling (see Section 3.2.3 in [I-D.ietf-dots-use-cases]). In addition, the highly diverse types of use-cases where DOTS clients are integrated also emphasize the need for knowledge of client behavior. Consequently, common global thresholds for attack detection practically cannot be realized. Each DOTS client can have its own levels of traffic and normal behavior. Without facilitating normal baseline signaling, it may be very difficult for DOTS servers in some cases to detect and mitigate the attacks accurately. It is important to emphasize that it is practically impossible for the server's mitigators to calculate the normal baseline, in cases they do not have any knowledge of the traffic beforehand. In addition, baseline learning requires a period of time that cannot be afforded during active attack. Of course, this information can provided using out-of-band mechanisms or manual configuration at the risk to maintain inaccurate information as the network evolves and "normal" patterns change. The use of a dynamic and collaborative means between the DOTS client and server to identify and share key parameters for the sake of efficient DDoS protect is valuable. During a high volume attack, DOTS client pipes can be totally saturated. The DOTS client asks the DOTS server to handle the attack upstream so that DOTS client pipes return to a reasonable load level (normal pattern, ideally). At this point, it is essential to ensure that the DOTS server does not overwhelm the DOTS client pipes by sending back "clean traffic", or what it believes is "clean". This can happen when the server has not managed to detect and mitigate all the attacks launched towards the client. In this case, it can be valuable to clients to signal to server the "Total pipe capacity", which is the level of traffic the clients can absorb from the upstream server. Dynamic updating of the condition of pipes between DOTS agents while they are under a DDoS attack is essential. For example, for cases of multiple DOTS clients share the same physical connectivity pipes. It is important to note, that the term "pipe" noted here does not necessary represent physical pipe, but rather Reddy, et al. Expires January 23, 2020 [Page 7] Internet-DraDOTS Telemetry for Efficient Protective Networkin July 2019 represents the current level of traffic client can observe from server. The server should activate other mechanisms to ensure it does not saturate the client's pipes unintentionally. The rate-limit action defined in [I-D.ietf-dots-data-channel] can be a reasonable candidate to achieve this objective; the client can ask for the type of traffic (such as ICMP, UDP, TCP port 80) it prefers to limit. To summarize, timely and effective signaling of up-to-date DOTS telemetry to all elements involved in the mitigation process is essential and absolutely improves the overall service effectiveness. Bi-directional feedback between DOTS agents is required for the increased awareness of each party, supporting superior and highly efficient attack mitigation service. 4. DOTS Telemetry Attributes This section outlines the set of DOTS telemetry attributes. The ultimate objective of these attributes is to allow for the complete knowledge of attacks and the various particulars that can best characterize attacks. The description and motivation behind each attribute were presented in Section 3. DOTS telemetry attributes are optionally signaled and therefore MUST NOT be treated as mandatory fields in the DOTS signal channel protocol. 4.1. Pre-mitigation DOTS Telemetry Attributes The following pre-mitigation telemetry attributes can be signaled from the DOTS client to the DOTS server. o DISCUSSION NOTES: (1) Some telemetry can be communicated using DOTS data channel. (2) Evaluate the risk of fragmentation, or (3) check if we can define a dedicated URI for telemetry (e.g.: use ./telemetry). Some of the information is not specific to each mitigation request. 4.1.1. Total Traffic Normal Baseline The low percentile (10th percentile), mid percentile (50th percentile), high percentile (90th percentile) and peak values of "Total traffic normal baselines" measured in packets per second (PPS) or kilo packets per second (Kpps) and Bits per Second (BPS), and kilobytes per second or megabytes per second or gigabytes per second. Reddy, et al. Expires January 23, 2020 [Page 8] Internet-DraDOTS Telemetry for Efficient Protective Networkin July 2019 4.1.2. Total Pipe Capability The limit of traffic volume, in packets per second (PPS) or kilo packets per second (Kpps) and Bits per Second (BPS), and in kilobytes per second or megabytes per second or gigabytes per second. These attributes represents the DOTS client domain pipe limit. o NOTE: Multi-homing case to be considered. 4.1.3. Total Attack Traffic The total attack traffic can be identified by the DOTS client domain's DDoS Mitigation System (DMS) or DDoS Detector. The low percentile (10th percentile), mid percentile (50th percentile), high percentile (90th percentile) and peak values of total attack traffic measured in packets per second (PPS) or kilo packets per second (Kpps) and Bits per Second (BPS), and kilobytes per second or megabytes per second or gigabytes per second. 4.1.4. Total Traffic The low percentile (10th percentile), mid percentile (50th percentile), high percentile (90th percentile) and peak values of total traffic during a DDoS attack measured in packets per second (PPS) or kilo packets per second (Kpps) and Bits per Second (BPS), and kilobytes per second or megabytes per second gigabytes per second. 4.1.5. Attack Details Various information and details that describe the on-going attacks that needs to be mitigated by the DOTS server. The attack details need to cover well-known and common attacks (such as a SYN Flood) along with new emerging or vendor-specific attacks. The following fields describing the on-going attack are discussed: vendor-id: Vendor ID is a security vendor's Enterprise Number as registered with IANA [Enterprise-Numbers]. It is a four-byte integer value. This is a mandatory sub-attribute. attack-id: Unique identifier assigned by the vendor for the attack. This is a mandatory sub-attribute. attack-name: Textual representation of attack description. Natural Language Processing techniques (e.g., word embedding) can possibly Reddy, et al. Expires January 23, 2020 [Page 9] Internet-DraDOTS Telemetry for Efficient Protective Networkin July 2019 be used to map the attack description to an attack type. Textual representation of attack solves two problems (a) avoids the need to create mapping tables manually between vendors (2) Avoids the need to standardize attack types which keep evolving. This is a mandatory sub-attribute attack-severity: Attack severity. Emergency (0), critical (1) and alert (2). This is an optional sub-attribute 4.2. DOTS Client to Server Mitigation Efficacy DOTS Telemetry Attributes The mitigation efficacy telemetry attributes can be signaled from the DOTS client to the DOTS server as part of the periodic mitigation efficacy updates to the server. 4.2.1. Total Attack Traffic The low percentile (10th percentile), mid percentile (50th percentile), high percentile (90th percentile) and peak values of total attack traffic the DOTS client still sees during the active mitigation service measured in packets per second (PPS) or kilo packets per second (Kpps) and Bits per Second (BPS), and kilobytes per second or megabytes per second or gigabytes per second. 4.2.2. Attack Details The overall attack details as observed from the DOTS client perspective during the active mitigation service. The same attributes defined in Section 4.1.5 are applicable here. 4.3. DOTS Server to Client Mitigation Status DOTS Telemetry Attributes The mitigation status telemetry attributes can be signaled from the DOTS server to the DOTS client as part of the periodic mitigation status update. 4.3.1. Mitigation Status As defined in [RFC8612], the actual mitigation activities can include several countermeasure mechanisms. The DOTS server SHOULD signal the current operational status to each relevant countermeasure. A list of attacks detected by each countermeasure. The same attributes defined for Section 4.1.5 are applicable here for describing the attacks detected and mitigated. Reddy, et al.
