Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) Signal
Channel Configuration Attributes for Robust Block Transmission
Abstract
This document specifies new DDoS Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) signal
channel configuration parameters that can be negotiated between DOTS
peers to enable the use of Q-Block1 and Q-Block2 Constrained
Application Protocol (CoAP) options. These options enable robust and
faster transmission rates for large amounts of data with less packet
interchanges as well as support for faster recovery should any of the
blocks get lost in transmission (especially during DDoS attacks).
Also, this document defines a YANG data model for representing these
new DOTS signal channel configuration parameters. This model
augments the DOTS signal YANG module ("ietf-dots-signal-channel")
defined in RFC 9132.

1. Introduction
The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) [RFC7252], although
inspired by HTTP, was designed to use UDP instead of TCP. The
message layer of CoAP over UDP includes support for reliable
delivery, simple congestion control, and flow control. The block-
wise transfer [RFC7959] introduced the CoAP Block1 and Block2 options
to handle data records that cannot fit in a single IP packet, to
avoid having to rely on IP fragmentation. The block-wise transfer
was further updated by [RFC8323] for use over TCP, TLS, and
WebSockets.
The CoAP Block1 and Block2 options work well in environments where
there are no or minimal packet losses. These options operate
synchronously where each individual block has to be requested and can
only ask for (or send) the next block when the request for the
previous block has completed. Packet rates, and hence block
transmission rates, are controlled by Round-Trip Times (RTTs).
There is a requirement for these blocks of data to be transmitted at
higher rates under network conditions where there may be asymmetrical
transient packet loss (e.g., responses may get dropped). An example
is when a network is subject to a Distributed Denial of Service
(DDoS) attack and there is a need for DDoS mitigation agents relying
upon CoAP to communicate with each other (e.g., [RFC9244]). As a
reminder, [RFC7959] recommends the use of Confirmable (CON) responses
to handle potential packet loss. However, such a recommendation does
not work with a "flooded pipe" DDoS situation because the returning
ACK packets may not get through.
The block-wise transfer specified in [RFC7959] covers the general
case but falls short in situations where packet loss is highly
asymmetrical. The mechanism specified in [RFC9177] provides features
roughly similar to the Block1/Block2 options but also provides
additional properties that are tailored towards the intended DDoS
Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) transmission. Concretely, [RFC9177]
primarily targets applications such as DOTS that can't use
Confirmable responses to handle potential packet loss and that
support application-specific mechanisms to assess whether the remote
peer is able to handle the messages sent by a CoAP endpoint (e.g.,
DOTS heartbeats as discussed in Section 4.7 of [RFC9132]).
[RFC9177] includes guards to prevent a CoAP agent from overloading
the network by adopting an aggressive sending rate. These guards are
followed in addition to the existing CoAP congestion control as
specified in Section 4.7 of [RFC7252] (mainly PROBING_RATE). Table 1
lists the additional CoAP parameters that are used for the guards
(Section 7.2 of [RFC9177]). Note that NON in this table refers to
Non-confirmable.
+=====================+===================+

| MAX_PAYLOADS | 10 |
+---------------------+-------------------+
| NON_MAX_RETRANSMIT | 4 |

Table 1: Congestion Control Parameters
PROBING_RATE and other transmission parameters are negotiated between
DOTS peers as discussed in Section 4.5.2 of [RFC9132]. Nevertheless,
negotiating the parameters listed in Table 1 is not supported in
[RFC9132]. This document defines new DOTS signal channel attributes,
corresponding to the parameters in Table 1, that are used to
customize the configuration of robust block transmission in a DOTS
context.
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.
Readers should be familiar with the terms and concepts defined in
[RFC7252] and [RFC8612].
The terms "payload" and "body" are defined in [RFC7959]. The term
"payload" is thus used for the content of a single CoAP message
(i.e., a single block being transferred), while the term "body" is
used for the entire resource representation that is being transferred
in a block-wise fashion.
The meanings of the symbols in YANG tree diagrams are defined in
[RFC8340] and [RFC8791].
3. DOTS Attributes for Robust Block Transmission
Section 7.2 of [RFC9177] defines the following parameters that are
used for congestion control purposes:
MAX_PAYLOADS: This parameter represents the maximum number of
payloads that can be transmitted at any one time.
NON_MAX_RETRANSMIT: This parameter represents the maximum number of
times a request for the retransmission of missing payloads can
occur without a response from the remote peer. By default,
NON_MAX_RETRANSMIT has the same value as MAX_RETRANSMIT
(Section 4.8 of [RFC7252]).
NON_TIMEOUT: This parameter represents the maximum period of delay
between sending sets of MAX_PAYLOADS payloads for the same body.
NON_TIMEOUT has the same value as ACK_TIMEOUT (Section 4.8 of
[RFC7252]).
NON_TIMEOUT_RANDOM: This parameter represents the initial actual
delay between sending the first two MAX_PAYLOADS_SETs of the same
body. It is a random duration between NON_TIMEOUT and
(NON_TIMEOUT * ACK_RANDOM_FACTOR).
NON_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT: This parameter represents the maximum time to
wait for a missing payload before requesting retransmission. By
default, NON_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT has a value of twice NON_TIMEOUT.
NON_PROBING_WAIT: This parameter is used to limit the potential wait
needed when using PROBING_RATE.
NON_PARTIAL_TIMEOUT: This parameter is used for expiring partially
received bodies.
These parameters are used together with the PROBING_RATE parameter,
which in CoAP indicates the average data rate that must not be
exceeded by a CoAP endpoint in sending to a peer endpoint that does
not respond. The single body of blocks will be subjected to
PROBING_RATE (Section 4.7 of [RFC7252]), not the individual packets.
If the wait time between sending bodies that are not being responded
to based on PROBING_RATE exceeds NON_PROBING_WAIT, then the wait time
is limited to NON_PROBING_WAIT.
This document augments the "ietf-dots-signal-channel" DOTS signal
YANG module defined in Section 5.3 of [RFC9132] with the following
additional attributes that can be negotiated between DOTS peers to
enable robust and faster transmission:
max-payloads: This attribute echoes the MAX_PAYLOADS parameter
defined in [RFC9177].
This is an optional attribute. If the attribute is supplied in
both 'idle-config' and 'mitigating-config', then it MUST convey
the same value. If the attribute is only provided as part of
'idle-config' (or 'mitigating-config'), then the other definition
(i.e., 'mitigating-config' (or 'idle-config')) MUST be updated to
the same value.
non-max-retransmit: This attribute echoes the NON_MAX_RETRANSMIT
parameter defined in [RFC9177]. The default value of this
attribute is 'max-retransmit'. Note that DOTS uses a default
value of '3' instead of '4' (which is used generically by CoAP for
'max-transmit'; see Section 4.5.2 of [RFC9132] and Section 4.8 of
[RFC7252]).
This is an optional attribute.
non-timeout: This attribute, expressed in seconds, echoes the
NON_TIMEOUT parameter defined in [RFC9177]. The default value of
this attribute is 'ack-timeout'.
This attribute is also used to compute the NON_TIMEOUT_RANDOM
parameter.
This is an optional attribute.
non-receive-timeout: This attribute, expressed in seconds, echoes
the NON_RECEIVE_TIMEOUT parameter defined in [RFC9177]. The
default value of this attribute is twice 'non-timeout'.
This is an optional attribute.
non-probing-wait: This attribute, expressed in seconds, echoes the
NON_PROBING_WAIT parameter defined in [RFC9177].
This is an optional attribute.
non-partial-timeout: This attribute, expressed in seconds, echoes
the NON_PARTIAL_TIMEOUT parameter defined in [RFC9177]. The
default value of this attribute is 247 seconds.
This is an optional attribute.
The tree structure of the "ietf-dots-robust-trans" module (Section 5)

Figure 1: DOTS Fast Block Transmission Tree Structure
These attributes are mapped to Concise Binary Object Representation
(CBOR) types as specified in Section 4 and in Section 6 of [RFC9132].
DOTS clients follow the procedure specified in Section 4.5 of
[RFC9132] to negotiate, configure, and retrieve the DOTS signal
channel session behavior (including Q-Block parameters) with DOTS
peers.
Implementation Note 1: 'non-probing-wait' ideally should be left
having some jitter and so should not be hard-coded with an
explicit value. It is suggested to use a base value (using
NON_TIMEOUT instead of NON_TIMEOUT_RANDOM); the jitter
(ACK_RANDOM_FACTOR - 1) is then added to each time the value is
checked.
Implementation Note 2: If any of the signal channel session
configuration parameters is updated, the 'non-probing-wait' and
'non-partial-timeout' values should be recalculated according to
the definition algorithms provided in Section 7.2 of [RFC9177]
unless explicit values are provided as part of the negotiated
configuration.
An example of a PUT message to configure Q-Block parameters is
depicted in Figure 2. In this example, a non-default value is
configured for the 'max-payloads' attribute, while default values are
used for 'non-max-retransmit', 'non-timeout', and 'non-receive-
timeout' in both idle and mitigation times. Given that 'non-probing-
wait' and 'non-partial-timeout' are not explicitly configured in this
example, these attributes will be computed following the algorithms
provided in Section 7.2 of [RFC9177]. The meanings of the other
attributes are detailed in Section 4.5 of [RFC9132].

Figure 2: Example of PUT to Convey the Configuration Parameters
The payload of the message depicted in Figure 2 is CBOR-encoded as
indicated by the Content-Format set to "application/dots+cbor"
(Section 10.4 of [RFC9132]). However, and for the sake of better
readability, the example uses JSON encoding of YANG-modeled data
following the mapping tables in Section 4 and in Section 6 of
[RFC9132]: use the JSON names and types defined in Section 4. These
conventions are inherited from [RFC9132].
4. YANG/JSON Mapping Parameters to CBOR
The YANG/JSON mapping parameters to CBOR are listed in Table 2.
Note: Implementers must check that the mapping output provided by
their YANG-to-CBOR encoding schemes is aligned with the content of
Table 2.

6. IANA Considerations
6.1. Registry for DOTS Signal Channel CBOR Mappings
This specification registers the following parameters in the IANA
"DOTS Signal Channel CBOR Key Values" registry [Key-Map].
+===================+==========+=======+============+===============+
| Parameter Name | CBOR | CBOR | Change | Specification |
| | Key | Major | Controller | Document(s) |

6.2. DOTS Robust Block Transmission YANG Module
IANA has registered the following URI in the "ns" subregistry within
the "IETF XML Registry" [RFC3688]:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-dots-robust-trans
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A; the requested URI is an XML namespace.
IANA has registered the following YANG module in the "YANG Module
Names" subregistry [RFC6020] within the "YANG Parameters" registry.
Name: ietf-dots-robust-trans
Namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-dots-robust-trans
Maintained by IANA? N
Prefix: dots-robust
Reference: RFC 9362
7. Security Considerations
The security considerations for the DOTS signal channel protocol are
discussed in Section 11 of [RFC9132].
CoAP-specific security considerations are discussed in Section 11 of
[RFC9177].
Consistent with Section 5 of [RFC9132], the "ietf-dots-robust-trans"
module is not intended to be used via NETCONF/RESTCONF. It serves as
an abstract representation in DOTS signal channel messages. The
"ietf-dots-robust-trans" module does not introduce any new
vulnerabilities beyond those specified above.
