      <name>Introduction</name>
      <t>It is very common operational practice, especially in enterprise
      networks, to use IPv4 DHCP logs for troubleshooting or forensics
      purposes. Examples An example of this include includes a help desk dealing with a ticket
      such as "The CEO's laptop cannot connect to the printer"; if the MAC Media Access Control (MAC)
      address of the printer is known (for example example, from an inventory system),
      the printer's IPv4 address can be retrieved from the DHCP log or lease
      table and the printer can be pinged to determine if it is
      reachable. Another common example is a Security Operations security operations team
      discovering suspicious events in outbound firewall logs and then
      consulting DHCP logs to determine which employee's laptop had that IPv4
      address at that time so that they can quarantine it and remove the
      malware.</t>

      <t>This operational practice relies on the DHCP server knowing the IP
      address assignments.  This works quite well for IPv4 addresses, as most
      addresses are either assigned by DHCP <xref target="RFC2131"/> or
      statically configured by the network operator. For IPv6, however, this
      practice is much harder to implement, as devices often self-configure
      IPv6 addresses via SLAAC Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) <xref target="RFC4862"/>.</t>

      <t>This document provides a mechanism for a device to inform the DHCPv6
      server that the device has a self-configured IPv6 address (or has a
      statically configured address), and thus provides parity with IPv4, IPv4 by
      making DHCPv6 infrastructure aware of self-assigned IPv6 addresses.</t>

      <name>Registration Mechanism Overview</name>
      <t>The DHCPv6 protocol is used as the address registration protocol when
      a DHCPv6 server performs the role of an address registration server.
      This document introduces a new Address Registration
      (OPTION_ADDR_REG_ENABLE) option option, which indicates that the server
      supports the registration mechanism.  Before registering any addresses,
      the client <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> determine whether the network supports
      address registration. It can do this by including the Address
      Registration option code in the Option Request option (see Section 21.7 of <xref target="RFC8415"/>)
      target="RFC8415" sectionFormat="of" section="21.7"/>) of the
      Information-Request, Solicit, Request, Renew, or Rebind messages it
      sends to the server as part of the regular stateless or stateful DHCPv6
      configuration process. If the server supports address registration, it
      includes an Address Registration option in its Advertise or Reply
      messages.  To avoid undesired multicast traffic, if the DHCPv6
      infrastructure does not support (or is not willing to receive) any
      address registration information, the client <bcp14>MUST NOT</bcp14>
      register any addresses using the mechanism in this
      specification. Otherwise, the client registers addresses as described
      below.</t>

      <t>After successfully assigning a self-generated or statically
      configured Valid (<xref target="RFC4862"/>) valid IPv6 address <xref target="RFC4862"/> on one of its
      interfaces, a client implementing this specification multicasts an
      ADDR-REG-INFORM message (see Section 4.2) <xref
      target="dhcpv6-address-registration-request-message"/>) in order to
      inform the DHCPv6 server that this self-generated address is in
      use. Each ADDR-REG-INFORM message contains a DHCPv6 IA Identity Association
      (IA) Address option <xref target="RFC8415"/> to specify the address
      being registered.</t>

      <t>The address registration mechanism overview is shown in Fig.1.</t> <xref
      target="Fig.1"/>.</t>

       <t>The client <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> generate a transaction ID as
       described in <xref target="RFC8415"/> and insert this value in the
       "transaction-id" field.</t>

       <t>The client <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> include the Client Identifier option
       <xref target="RFC8415"/> in the ADDR-REG-INFORM message.</t>

       <t>The ADDR-REG-INFORM message <bcp14>MUST NOT</bcp14> contain the
       Server Identifier option and <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> contain exactly one IA
       Address option containing the address being registered. The
       valid-lifetime and preferred-lifetime fields in the option
       <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> match the current Valid Lifetime and Preferred
       Lifetime of the address being registered.</t>

        <t>The ADDR-REG-INFORM message is dedicated for clients to initiate an
        address registration request toward an address registration server.
        Consequently, clients <bcp14>MUST NOT</bcp14> put any Option Request Option(s)
        option(s) in the ADDR-REG-INFORM message. Clients <bcp14>MAY</bcp14>
        include other options, such as the Client FQDN Option option <xref
        target="RFC4704"/>.</t>

	<t>The client sends the DHCPv6 ADDR-REG-INFORM message to the
	All_DHCP_Relay_Agents_and_Servers multicast address (ff02::1:2). The
	client <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> send separate messages for each address
	being registered.</t>

	<t>Unlike other types of messages, which are sent from the link-local
	address of the client, the ADDR-REG-INFORM message <bcp14>MUST</bcp14>
	be sent from the address being registered. This is primarily for "fate
	sharing" purposes - purposes; for example, if the network implements some form
	of layer-2 Layer 2 security to prevent a client from spoofing other clients'
	MAC addresses, this prevents an attacker from spoofing ADDR-REG-INFORM
	messages.</t>

       <t>On clients with multiple interfaces, the client <bcp14>MUST</bcp14>
       only send the packet on the network interface that has the address
       being registered, even if it has multiple interfaces with different
       addresses. If the same address is configured on multiple interfaces,
       then the client <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> send the ADDR-REG-INFORM message
       each time the address is configured on an interface that did not
       previously have it, it and refresh each registration independently
       from the others.</t>

        <t>The client <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> only send the ADDR-REG-INFORM
        message for valid (<xref target="RFC4862"/>) addresses <xref target="RFC4862"/> of global scope (<xref target="RFC4007"/>).
        <xref target="RFC4007"/>. This includes ULA addresses, Unique Local Addresses (ULAs), which are
        defined in <xref target="RFC4193"/> to have global scope. This also
        includes statically assigned addresses of global scope (such addresses
        are considered to be valid indefinitely).  The client <bcp14>MUST
        NOT</bcp14> send the ADDR-REG-INFORM message for addresses configured
        by DHCPv6.</t>

        <t>The client <bcp14>SHOULD NOT</bcp14> send the ADDR-REG-INFORM
        message unless it has received a Router Advertisement (RA) message with
        either the M or O flags set to 1.</t>

        <t>Clients <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> discard any received ADDR-REG-INFORM messages.</t>

        infrastructure supports address registration. The client can discover

        Option Request options that it sends. If the client receives and
        processes an Advertise or Reply message with the
        OPTION_ADDR_REG_ENABLE option, it concludes that the DHCPv6
        infrastructure supports address registration. When the client detects
        address registration support, it <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> start the
        registration process (unless configured not to do so) and
        <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> immediately register any addresses that are
        already in use. Once the client starts the registration process, it
        <bcp14>MUST NOT</bcp14> stop registering addresses until it

        a network or when it detects it has moved to a new link, without
        utilizing any prior knowledge about address registration support on
        that network or link. This client behavior allows networks to
        progressively roll out support for the address registration Address Registration option
        across the DHCPv6 infrastructure without causing clients to frequently
        stop and restart address registration if some of the network's DHCPv6

        <t>The client <bcp14>MUST</bcp14> refresh registrations to ensure that the server is always aware of which addresses are still valid. The client <bcp14>SHOULD</bcp14> perform refreshes as described below.</t>

        <section anchor="slaac-addresses">
          <name>SLAAC Addresses</name>

          <t>For an address configured using SLAAC, a function
          AddrRegRefreshInterval(address) is defined as 80% of the address's
          current Valid Lifetime. When calculating this value, the client
          applies a multiplier of AddrRegDesyncMultiplier to avoid synchronization
          synchronization, causing a large number of registration messages
          from different clients at the same time. AddrRegDesyncMultiplier is
          a random value uniformly distributed between 0.9 and 1.1 (inclusive)
          and is chosen by the client when it starts the registration process, process
          to ensure that refreshes for addresses with the same lifetime are
          coalesced (see below).</t>

          <t>Whenever the client registers or refreshes an address, it
          calculates a NextAddrRegRefreshTime for that address as
          AddrRegRefreshInterval seconds in the future but does not schedule
          any refreshes.</t>

          <t>Whenever the network changes the Valid Lifetime of an existing
          address by more than 1%, for example, by sending a Prefix
          Information option (PIO, Option (PIO) <xref target="RFC4861"/>) target="RFC4861"/> with a new Valid
          Lifetime, the client calculates a new AddrRegRefreshInterval. The
          client schedules a refresh for min(now + AddrRegRefreshInterval,
          NextAddrRegRefreshTime). If the refresh would be scheduled in the
          past, then the refresh occurs immediately.</t>

          <t>Justification: this This algorithm ensures that refreshes
          are not sent too frequently, frequently while ensuring that the server never
          believes that the address has expired when it has not. Specifically,
          after every registration:</t>

          <ul spacing="normal">
            <li>
              <t>If the network never changes the lifetime of an address
              (e.g., if no further PIOs are received, or if all PIO lifetimes
              decrease in step with the passage of time), then no refreshes
              occur. Refreshes are not necessary, because the address expires
              at the time the server expects it to expire.</t>
            </li>
            <li>
              <t>Any time the network changes the lifetime of an address
              (i.e., changes the time at which the address will expire) expire), the
              client ensures that a refresh is scheduled, so that server will
              be informed of the new expiry.</t>
            </li>
            <li>
              <t>Because AddrRegDesyncMultiplier is at most 1.1, the refresh
              never occurs later than a point 88% between the time when the
              address was registered and the time when the address will
              expire. This allows the client to retransmit the registration
              for up to 12% of the original interval before it expires. This
              may not be possible if the network sends a Router Advertisement (RA,
              (RA) <xref target="RFC4861"/>) target="RFC4861"/> very close to the time when the
              address would have expired. In this case, the client refreshes
              immediately, which is the best it can do.</t>
            </li>
            <li>
              <t>The 1% tolerance ensures that the client will not refresh or
              reschedule refreshes if the Valid Lifetime experiences minor

              target="transmitting-refreshes"/>) allows battery-powered
              clients to wake up less often. In particular, it allows the
              client to coalesce refreshes for multiple addresses formed from
              the same prefix, such as the stable and privacy
              addresses. Higher values will result in fewer wakeups, wakeups but may
              result in more network traffic, because if a refresh is sent
              early, then the next RA received will cause the client to
              immediately send a refresh message.</t>

            <li>
              <t>In typical networks, the lifetimes in periodic Router Advertisements RAs either contain constant values, values or values that

              cases, this algorithm will refresh on the order of once per

      <t>An attacker may attempt to register a large number of addresses in
      quick succession in order to overwhelm the address registration server and / or
      and/or fill up log files. Similar attack vectors exist today, e.g., an
      attacker can DoS the server with messages containing spoofed DHCP Unique
      Identifiers (DUIDs) <xref target="RFC8415"/>.</t>

      <t>If a network is using FCFS SAVI First-Come, First-Served Source Address
      Validation Improvement (FCFS SAVI) <xref target="RFC6620"/>, then the
      DHCPv6 server can trust that the ADDR-REG-INFORM message was sent by the
      legitimate holder of the address. This prevents a client from
      registering an address configured on another client.</t>

      <t>One of the use cases for the mechanism described in this document is
      to identify sources of malicious traffic after the fact. Note, however,
      that as the device itself is responsible for informing the DHCPv6 server
      that it is using an address, a malicious or compromised device can cannot simply not
      send the ADDR-REG-INFORM message. This is an informational,
      optional mechanism, mechanism and is designed to aid in troubleshooting and
      forensics. On its own, it is not intended to be a strong security access
      mechanism.  In particular, the ADDR-REG-INFORM message <bcp14>MUST
      NOT</bcp14> be used for authentication and authorization purposes,
      because in addition to the reasons above, the packets containing the
      message may be dropped.</t>

      <t>If the network doesn't have MLD Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping enabled, then IPv6
      link-local multicast traffic is effectively transmitted as broadcast.
      In such networks, an on-link attacker listening to DHCPv6 messages might
      obtain information about IPv6 addresses assigned to the client.  As
      ADDR-REG-INFORM messages contain unique identifiers such as the client's
      DUID, the attacker may be able to track addresses being registered and
      map them to the same client, even if the client uses randomized MAC
      addresses.  This privacy consideration is not specific to the proposed
      mechanism. Section 4.3 of <xref target="RFC7844"/> target="RFC7844" sectionFormat="of" section="4.3"/>
      discusses using the DUID for device tracking in DHCPv6 environments and
      provides mitigation recommendations.</t>

      <t>In general, hiding information about the specific IPv6 address from
      on-link observers should not be considered a security measure, as such
      information is usually disclosed via Duplicate Address Detection <xref
      target="RFC4862"/> to all nodes anyway, if MLD snooping is not
      enabled.</t>

      <t>If MLD snooping is enabled, an attacker might be able to join the
      All_DHCP_Relay_Agents_and_Servers multicast address (ff02::1:2) group to
      listen for address registration messages.  However, the same result can
      be achieved by joining the All Routers Address (ff02::2) group and
      listen to Gratuitous Neighbor Advertisement gratuitous neighbor advertisement messages <xref
      target="RFC9131"/>. It should be noted that this particular scenario
      shares the fate with DHCPv6 address assignment: if an attacker can join
      the All_DHCP_Relay_Agents_and_Servers multicast group, they would be
      able to monitor all DHCPv6 messages sent from the client to DHCPv6
      servers and relays, relays and therefore obtain the information about addresses
      being assigned via DHCPv6.  Layer 2 isolation allows mitigating this
      threat by blocking onlink on-link peer-to-peer communication between nodes.</t>
