-Request for Comments: 1570 Daydreamer
-Updates: 1548 January 1994
-Category: Standards Track
-
-
- PPP LCP Extensions
-
-Status of this Memo
-
- This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
- Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
- improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
- Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
- and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
-
-Abstract
-
- The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] provides a standard method for
- transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links. PPP
- defines an extensible Link Control Protocol (LCP) for establishing,
- configuring, and testing the data-link connection. This document
- defines several additional LCP features which have been suggested
- over the past few years.
-
- This document is the product of the Point-to-Point Protocol Working
- Group of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Comments should
- be submitted to the ietf-ppp@ucdavis.edu mailing list.

-
-1. Additional LCP Packets
-
- The Packet format and basic facilities are already defined for LCP
- [1].
-
- Up-to-date values of the LCP Code field are specified in the most
- recent "Assigned Numbers" RFC [2]. This specification concerns the
- following values:
-
- 12 Identification
- 13 Time-Remaining
-
-
-
-
-1.1. Identification
-
- Description
-
- This Code provides a method for an implementation to identify
- itself to its peer. This Code might be used for many diverse
- purposes, such as link troubleshooting, license enforcement, etc.
-
- Identification is a Link Maintenance packet. Identification
- packets MAY be sent at any time, including before LCP has reached
- the Opened state.
-
- The sender transmits a LCP packet with the Code field set to 12
- (Identification), the Identifier field set, the local Magic-Number
- (if any) inserted, and the Message field filled with any desired
- data, but not exceeding the default MRU minus eight.
-
- Receipt of an Identification packet causes the RXR or RUC event.
- There is no response to the Identification packet.
-
- Receipt of a Code-Reject for the Identification packet SHOULD
- generate the RXJ+ (permitted) event.
-
- Rationale:
-
- This feature is defined as part of LCP, rather than as a
- separate PPP Protocol, in order that its benefits may be
- available during the earliest possible stage of the Link
- Establishment phase. It allows an operator to learn the
- identification of the peer even when negotiation is not
- converging. Non-LCP packets cannot be sent during the Link
- Establishment phase.
-
-
-
-
-Simpson [Page 1]
- RFC 1570 PPP LCP extensions January 1994
-
-
- This feature is defined as a separate LCP Code, rather than a
- Configuration-Option, so that the peer need not include it with
- other items in configuration packet exchanges, and handle
- "corrected" values or "rejection", since its generation is both
- rare and in one direction. It is recommended that
- Identification packets be sent whenever a Configure-Reject is
- sent or received, as a final message when negotiation fails to
- converge, and when LCP reaches the Opened state.
-
- A summary of the Identification packet format is shown below. The
- fields are transmitted from left to right.

-

-
- The Identifier field MUST be changed for each Identification sent.
-

-
- Magic-Number
-
- The Magic-Number field is four octets and aids in detecting links
- which are in the looped-back condition. Until the Magic-Number
- Configuration Option has been successfully negotiated, the Magic-
- Number MUST be transmitted as zero. See the Magic-Number
- Configuration Option for further explanation.
-
- Message
-
- The Message field is zero or more octets, and its contents are
- implementation dependent. It is intended to be human readable,
- and MUST NOT affect operation of the protocol. It is recommended
-
-
-
-Simpson [Page 2]
- RFC 1570 PPP LCP extensions January 1994
-
-
- that the message contain displayable ASCII characters 32 through
- 126 decimal. Mechanisms for extension to other character sets are
- the topic of future research. The size is determined from the
- Length field.
-
- Implementation Note:
-
- The Message will usually contain such things as the sender's
- hardware type, PPP software revision level, and PPP product
- serial number, MIB information such as link speed and interface
- name, and any other information that the sender thinks might be
- useful in debugging connections. The format is likely to be
- different for each implementor, so that those doing serial
- number tracking can validate their numbers. A robust
- implementation SHOULD treat the Message as displayable text,
- and SHOULD be able to receive and display a very long Message.
-
-
-
-1.2. Time-Remaining
-
- Description
-
- This Code provides a mechanism for notifying the peer of the time
- remaining in this session.
-
- The nature of this information is advisory only. It is intended
- that only one side of the connection will send this packet
- (generally a "network access server"). The session is actually
- concluded by the Terminate-Request packet.
-
- Time-Remaining is a Link Maintenance packet. Time-Remaining
- packets may only be sent in the LCP Opened state.
-
- The sender transmits a LCP packet with the Code field set to 13
- (Time-Remaining), the Identifier field set, the local Magic-Number
- (if any) inserted, and the Message field filled with any desired
- data, but not exceeding the peer's established MRU minus twelve.
-
- Receipt of an Time-Remaining packet causes the RXR or RUC event.
- There is no response to the Time-Remaining packet.
-
- Receipt of a Code-Reject for the Time-Remaining packet SHOULD
- generate the RXJ+ (permitted) event.
-
- Rationale:
-
- This notification is defined as a separate LCP Code, rather
-
-
-
-Simpson [Page 3]
- RFC 1570 PPP LCP extensions January 1994
-
-
- than a Configuration-Option, in order that changes and warning
- messages may occur dynamically during the session, and that the
- information might be determined after Authentication has
- occurred. Typically, this packet is sent when the link enters
- Network-Layer Protocol phase, and at regular intervals
- throughout the session, particularly near the end of the
- session.
-
- A summary of the Time-Remaining packet format is shown below. The
- fields are transmitted from left to right.

- Number MUST be transmitted as zero. See the Magic-Number

- unsigned value is sent most significant octet first. A value of

-
- Message
-
- The Message field is zero or more octets, and its contents are
- implementation dependent. It is intended to be human readable,
- and MUST NOT affect operation of the protocol. It is recommended
- that the message contain displayable ASCII characters 32 through

-2. Additional LCP Configuration Options
-
- The Configuration Option format and basic options are already defined
- for LCP [1].
-
- Up-to-date values of the LCP Option Type field are specified in the
- most recent "Assigned Numbers" RFC [2]. This document concerns the
- following values:
-
- 9 FCS-Alternatives
- 10 Self-Describing-Padding
- 13 Callback
- 15 Compound-Frames
-
-
-
-
-2.1. FCS-Alternatives
-
- Description
-
- This Configuration Option provides a method for an implementation
- to specify another FCS format to be sent by the peer, or to
- negotiate away the FCS altogether.
-
- This option is negotiated separately in each direction. However,
- it is not required that an implementation be capable of
- concurrently generating a different FCS on each side of the link.
-
- The negotiated FCS values take effect only during Authentication
- and Network-Layer Protocol phases. Frames sent during any other
- phase MUST contain the default FCS.
-
- A summary of the FCS-Alternatives Configuration Option format is
- shown below. The fields are transmitted from left to right.

-
- Options
-
- This field is one octet, and is comprised of the "logical or" of
- the following values:
-
- 1 Null FCS
- 2 CCITT 16-bit FCS
- 4 CCITT 32-bit FCS
-
-
- Implementation Note:
-
- For most PPP HDLC framed links, the default FCS is the CCITT 16-
- bit FCS. Some framing techniques and high speed links may use
- another format as the default FCS.
-
-
-2.1.1. LCP considerations
-
- The link can be subject to loss of state, and the LCP can re-
- negotiate at any time. When the LCP begins renegotiation or
- termination, it is recommended that the LCP Configure-Request or
- Terminate-Request packet be sent with the last negotiated FCS, then
- change to the default FCS, and a duplicate LCP packet is sent with
- the default FCS. The Identifier field SHOULD NOT be incremented for
- each such duplicate packet.
-
- On receipt of a LCP Configure-Request or Terminate-Request packet,
- the implementation MUST change to the default FCS for both
- transmission and reception. If a Request packet is received which
- contains a duplicate Identifier field, a new reply MUST be generated.
-
- Implementation Notes:
-
- The need to send two packets is only necessary after the
- Alternative-FCS has already been negotiated. It need not occur
- during state transitions when there is a natural indication that
- the default FCS is in effect, such as the Down and Up events. It
- is necessary to send two packets in the Ack-Sent and Opened
- states, since the peer could mistakenly believe that the link has
- Opened.
-
- It is possible to send a single 48-bit FCS which is a combination
- of the 16-bit and 32-bit FCS. This may be sent instead of sending
-
-
-
-Simpson [Page 7]
- RFC 1570 PPP LCP extensions January 1994
-
-
- the two packets described above. We have not standardized this
- procedure because of intellectual property concerns. If such a
- 48-bit FCS is used, it MUST only be used for LCP packets.
-
-
-2.1.2. Null FCS
-
- The Null FCS SHOULD only be used for those network-layer and
- transport protocols which have an end-to-end checksum available, such
- as TCP/IP, or UDP/IP with the checksum enabled. That is, the Null
- FCS option SHOULD be negotiated together with another non-null FCS
- option in a heterogeneous environment.
-
- When a configuration (LCP or NCP) or authentication packet is sent,
- the FCS MUST be included. When a configuration (LCP or NCP) or
- authentication packet is received, the FCS MUST be verified.
-
- There are several cases to be considered:
-
- Null FCS alone
-
- The sender generates the FCS for those frames which require the
- FCS before sending the frame.
-
- When a frame is received, it is not necessary to check the FCS
- before demultiplexing. Any FCS is treated as padding.
-
- Receipt of an Authentication or Control packet would be discovered
- after passing the frame to the demultiplexer. Verification of the
- FCS can easily be accomplished using one of the software
- algorithms defined in "PPP in HDLC Framing" [3] (16-bit FCS) and
- Appendix A (32-bit FCS).
-
- Null FCS with another FCS, using software
-
- This is similar to the above case.
-
- Those packets which are required to have the FCS (Authentication,
- Control, or Network-Protocols lacking a checksum) are checked
- using software after demultiplexing. Packets which fail the FCS
- test are discarded as usual.
-
- Null FCS with another FCS, using hardware
-
- A flag is passed with the frame, indicating whether or not it has
- passed the hardware FCS check. The incorrect FCS MUST be passed
- with the rest of the data. The frame MUST NOT be discarded until
- after demultiplexing, and only those frames that require the FCS
-
-
-
-Simpson [Page 8]
- RFC 1570 PPP LCP extensions January 1994
-
-
- are discarded.
-
- All three FCS forms (Null, 16 and 32) may be used concurrently on
- different frames when using software. That is probably not possible
- with most current hardware.
-
-
-
-2.2. Self-Describing-Padding
-
- Description
-
- This Configuration Option provides a method for an implementation
- to indicate to the peer that it understands self-describing pads
- when padding is added at the end of the PPP Information field.
-
- This option is most likely to be used when some protocols, such as
- network-layer or compression protocols, are configured which
- require detection and removal of any trailing padding. Such
- special protocols are identified in their respective documents.
-
- If the option is Rejected, the peer MUST NOT add any padding to
- the identified special protocols, but MAY add padding to other
- protocols.
-
- If the option is Ack'd, the peer MUST follow the procedures for
- adding self-describing pads, but only to the specifically
- identified protocols. The peer is not required to add any padding
- to other protocols.
-
- Implementation Notes:
-
- This is defined so that the Reject handles either case where
- the peer does not generate self-describing pads. When the peer
- never generates padding, it may safely Reject the option. When
- the peer does not understand the option, it also will not
- successfully configure a special protocol which requires
- elimination of pads.
-
- While some senders might only be capable of adding padding to
- every protocol or not adding padding to any protocol, by design
- the receiver need not examine those protocols which do not need
- the padding stripped.
-
- To avoid unnecessary configuration handshakes, an
- implementation which generates padding, and has a protocol
- configured which requires the padding to be known, SHOULD
- include this Option in its Configure-Request, and SHOULD
-
-
-
-Simpson [Page 9]
- RFC 1570 PPP LCP extensions January 1994
-
-
- Configure-Nak with this Option when it is not present in the
- peer's Request.
-
- Each octet of self-describing pad contains the index of that
- octet. The first pad octet MUST contain the value one (1), which
- indicates the Padding Protocol to the Compound-Frames option.
- After removing the FCS, the final pad octet indicates the number
- of pad octets to remove. For example, three pad octets would
- contain the values 1, 2, 3.
-
- The Maximum-Pad-Value (MPV) is also negotiated. Only the values 1
- through MPV are used. When no padding would otherwise be
- required, but the final octet of the PPP Information field
- contains the value 1 through MPV, at least one self-describing pad
- octet MUST be added to the frame. If the final octet is greater
- than MPV, no additional padding is required.
-
- Implementation Notes:
-
- If any of the pad octets contain an incorrect index value, the
- entire frame SHOULD be silently discarded. This is intended to
- prevent confusion with the FCS-Alternatives option, but might
- not be necessary in robust implementations.
-
- Since this option is intended to support compression protocols,
- the Maximum-Pad-Value is specified to limit the likelihood that
- a frame may actually become longer.
-
- A summary of the Self-Describing-Padding Configuration Option format
- is shown below. The fields are transmitted from left to right.
-

- Maximum
-
- This field specifies the largest number of padding octets which
- may be added to the frame. The value may range from 1 to 255, but
- values of 2, 4, or 8 are most likely.
-
-
-
-2.3. Callback
-
- Description
-
- This Configuration Option provides a method for an implementation
- to request a dial-up peer to call back. This option might be used
- for many diverse purposes, such as savings on toll charges.
-
- When Callback is successfully negotiated, and authentication is
- complete, the Authentication phase proceeds directly to the
- Termination phase, and the link is disconnected.
-
- Then, the peer re-establishes the link, without negotiating
- Callback.
-
- Implementation Notes:
-
- A peer which agrees to this option SHOULD request the
- Authentication-Protocol Configuration Option. The user
- information learned during authentication can be used to
- determine the user location, or to limit a user to certain
- locations, or merely to determine whom to bill for the service.
-
- Authentication SHOULD be requested in turn by the
- implementation when it is called back, if mutual authentication
- is desired.
-
- A summary of the Callback Option format is shown below. The fields
- are transmitted from left to right.

-
- The Operation field is one octet and indicates the contents of the

-
- 1 Dialing string, the format and contents of which assumes
- configuration knowledge of the specific device which is
- making the callback.

- 2 Location identifier, which may or may not be human
- readable, to be used together with the authentication
- information for a database lookup to determine the
- callback location.
-
- 3 E.164 number.
-
- 4 Distinguished name.
-
- Message
-
- The Message field is zero or more octets, and its general contents
- are determined by the Operation field. The actual format of the
- information is site or application specific, and a robust
- implementation SHOULD support the field as undistinguished octets.
- The size is determined from the Length field.
-
- It is intended that only an authorized user will have correct site
- specific information to make use of the Callback. The
- codification of the range of allowed usage of this field is
- outside the scope of this specification.
-
-
-
-2.4. Compound-Frames
-
- Description
-
- This Configuration Option provides a method for an implementation
- to send multiple PPP encapsulated packets within the same frame.
- This option might be used for many diverse purposes, such as
- savings on toll charges.
-
-
-
-
-Simpson [Page 12]
- RFC 1570 PPP LCP extensions January 1994
-
-
- Only those PPP Protocols which have determinate lengths or
- integral length fields may be aggregated into a compound frame.
-
- When Compound-Frames is successfully negotiated, the sender MAY
- add additional packets to the same frame. Each packet is
- immediately followed by another Protocol field, with its attendant
- datagram.
-
- When padding is added to the end of the Information field, the
- procedure described in Self-Describing-Padding is used.
- Therefore, this option MUST be negotiated together with the Self-
- Describing-Padding option.
-
- If the FCS-Alternatives option has been negotiated, self
- describing padding MUST always be added. That is, the final
- packet MUST be followed by a series of octets, the first of which
- contains the value one (1).
-
- On receipt, the first Protocol field is examined, and the packet
- is processed as usual. For those datagrams which have a
- determinate length, the remainder of the frame is returned to the
- demultiplexor. Each succeeding Protocol field is processed as a
- separate packet. This processing is complete when a packet is
- processed which does not have a determinate length, when the
- remainder of the frame is empty, or when the Protocol field is
- determined to have a value of one (1).
-
- The PPP Protocol value of one (1) is reserved as the Padding
- Protocol. Any following octets are removed as padding.
-
- A summary of the Compound-Frames Option format is shown below. The
- fields are transmitted from left to right.

-
-2.4.1. LCP considerations
-
- During initial negotiation, the Compound-Frames option can be used to
- minimize the negotiation latency, by reducing the number of frames
- exchanged.
-
- The first LCP Configure-Request packet is sent as usual in a single
- frame, including the Self-Describing-Padding and Compound-Frames
- options.
-
- The peer SHOULD respond with a Configure-Ack, followed in a compound
- frame by its LCP Configure-Request, and any NCP Configure-Requests
- desired.
-
- Upon receipt, the local implementation SHOULD process the Configure-
- Ack as usual. Since the peer has agreed to send compound frames, the
- implementation MUST examine the remainder of the frame for additional
- packets. If the peer also specified the Self-Describing-Padding and
- Compound-Frames options in its Configure-Request, the local
- implementation SHOULD retain its Configure-Ack, and further NCP
- configuration packets SHOULD be added to the return frame.
-
- Together with the peer's final return frame, the minimum number of
- frames to complete configuration is 4.
