Discovering the Local Location Information Server (LIS)
Abstract
Discovery of the correct Location Information Server (LIS) in the
local access network is necessary for Devices that wish to acquire
location information from the network. A method is described for the
discovery of a LIS in the access network serving a Device. Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) options for IP versions 4 and 6
are defined that specify a domain name. This domain name is then
used as input to a URI-enabled NAPTR (U-NAPTR) resolution process.

1. Introduction and Overview
The location of a Device is a useful and sometimes necessary part of
many services. A Location Information Server (LIS) is responsible
for providing that location information to Devices with attached
access networks used to provide Internet access. The LIS uses
knowledge of the access network and its physical topology to generate
and serve location information to Devices.
Each access network requires specific knowledge about topology.
Therefore, it is important to discover the LIS that has the specific
knowledge necessary to locate a Device, that is, the LIS that serves
the current access network. Automatic discovery is important where
there is any chance of movement outside a single access network.
Reliance on static configuration can lead to unexpected errors if a
Device moves between access networks.
This document describes a process that a Device can use to discover a
LIS. This process uses a DHCP option and the DNS. The product of
this discovery process is an HTTP [RFC2616] or HTTPS [RFC2818] URI
that identifies a LIS.
Thomson & Winterbottom Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 5986 LIS Discovery September 2010
The URI result from the discovery process is suitable for location
configuration only; that is, the Device MUST dereference the URI
using the process described in HTTP-Enabled Location Delivery (HELD)
[RFC5985]. URIs discovered in this way are not "location URIs"
[RFC5808]; dereferencing one of them provides the location of the
requestor only. Devices MUST NOT embed these URIs in fields in other
protocols designed to carry the location of the Device.
1.1. Discovery Procedure Overview
DHCP ([RFC2131], [RFC3315]) is a commonly used mechanism for
providing bootstrap configuration information that allows a Device to
operate in a specific network environment. The DHCP information is
largely static, consisting of configuration information that does not
change over the period that the Device is attached to the network.
Physical location information might change over this time; however,
the address of the LIS does not. Thus, DHCP is suitable for
configuring a Device with the address of a LIS.
This document defines a DHCP option that produces a domain name that
identifies the local access network in Section 3.
Section 4 describes a method that uses URI-enabled NAPTR (U-NAPTR)
[RFC4848], a Dynamic Delegation Discovery Service (DDDS) profile that
produces a URI for the LIS. The input to this process is provided by
the DHCP option.
For the LIS discovery DDDS application, an Application Service tag
"LIS" and an Application Protocol tag "HELD" have been created and
registered with the IANA. Based on the domain name, this U-NAPTR
application uses the two tags to determine a URI for a LIS that
supports the HELD protocol.
1.2. Terminology
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].
This document also uses the term "Device" to refer to an end host or
client consistent with its use in HELD. In HELD and RFC 3693
[RFC3693] parlance, the Device is also the Target.
The term "access network" refers to the network to which a Device
connects for Internet access. The "access network provider" is the
entity that operates the access network. This is consistent with the
definition in [RFC5687], which combines the Internet Access Provider
Thomson & Winterbottom Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 5986 LIS Discovery September 2010
(IAP) and Internet Service Provider (ISP). The access network
provider is responsible for allocating the Device a public IP address
and for directly or indirectly providing a LIS service.
2. LIS Discovery Procedure
A Device that has multiple network interfaces could potentially be
served by a different access network on each interface, each with a
different LIS. The Device SHOULD attempt to discover the LIS
applicable to each network interface, stopping when a LIS is
successfully discovered on any interface.
The LIS discovery procedure follows this process:
1. Acquire the access network domain name (Section 3).
This process might be repeated for each of the network interfaces
on the Device. Domain names acquired from other sources might
also be added.
2. Apply U-NAPTR resolution (Section 4) to discover a LIS URI.
The U-NAPTR process is applied using each of the domain names as
input.
3. Verify that the LIS is able to provide location information.
The first URI that results in a successful response from the LIS
is used.
A Device MUST support discovery using the access network domain name
DHCP option (Section 3) as input to U-NAPTR resolution (Section 4).
If this option is not available, DHCPv4 option 15 [RFC2132] is used.
Other domain names MAY be used, as described in Section 3.4.
A Device that discovers a LIS URI MUST attempt to verify that the LIS
is able to provide location information. For the HELD protocol, the
Device verifies the URI by making a location request to the LIS. Any
HTTP 200 response containing a HELD response signifies success. This
includes HELD error responses, with the exception of the
"notLocatable" error.
If -- at any time -- the LIS responds to a request with the
"notLocatable" error code (see Section 4.3.2 of [RFC5985]), the
Device MUST continue or restart the discovery process. A Device
SHOULD NOT make further requests to a LIS that provides a
"notLocatable" error until its network attachment changes, or it
discovers the LIS on an alternative network interface.
Thomson & Winterbottom Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 5986 LIS Discovery September 2010
Static configuration of a domain name or a LIS URI MAY be used. Note
that if a Device has moved from its customary location, static
configuration might indicate a LIS that is unable to provide accurate
location information.
The product of the LIS discovery process for HELD is an HTTPS or HTTP
URI. Nothing distinguishes this URI from other URIs with the same
scheme, aside from the fact that it is the product of this process.
Only URIs produced by the discovery process can be used for location
configuration using HELD.
The overall discovery process is summarized in Figure 1.

RFC 5986 LIS Discovery September 2010
2.1. Residential Gateways
The options available in residential gateways will affect the success
of this algorithm in residential network scenarios. A fixed wireline
scenario is described in more detail in [RFC5687], Section 3.1. In
this fixed wireline environment, an intervening residential gateway
exists between the Device and the access network. If the residential
gateway does not provide the appropriate information to the Devices
it serves, those Devices are unable to discover a LIS.
Support of this specification by residential gateways ensures that
the Devices they serve are able to acquire location information. In
many cases, the residential gateway configures the Devices it serves
using DHCP. A residential gateway is able to use DHCP to assist
Devices in gaining access to their location information. This can be
accomplished by providing an access network domain name DHCP option
suitable for LIS discovery, or by acting as a LIS directly. To
actively assist Devices, a residential gateway can either:
o acquire an access network domain name from the access network
provider (possibly using DHCP) and pass the resulting value to
Devices; or
o discover a LIS on its external interface, then provide Devices
with the domain name that was used to successfully discover the
LIS; or
o explicitly include configuration that refers to a particular LIS;
or
o act as a LIS and directly provide location information to the
Devices it serves, including providing a means to discover this
service.
As with Devices, configuration of a specific domain name or location
information is only accurate as long as the residential gateway does
not move. If a residential gateway that relies on configuration
rather than automatic discovery is moved, the Devices it serves could
be provided with inaccurate information. Devices could be led to
discover a LIS that is unable to provide accurate location
information, or -- if location is configured on the residential
gateway -- the residential gateway could provide incorrect location
information.
Thomson & Winterbottom Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 5986 LIS Discovery September 2010
2.2. Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
A Device MUST NOT attempt LIS discovery over a VPN network interface
until it has attempted and failed to perform discovery on all other
non-VPN interfaces. A Device MAY perform discovery over a VPN
network interface if it has first attempted discovery on non-VPN
interfaces, but a LIS discovered in this way is unlikely to have the
information necessary to determine an accurate location.
Not all interfaces connected to a VPN can be detected by Devices or
the software running on them. In these cases, it might be that a LIS
on the remote side of a VPN is inadvertently discovered. A LIS
provides a "notLocatable" error code in response to a request that it
is unable to fulfill (see [RFC5985], Section 6.3). This ensures that
even if a Device discovers a LIS over the VPN, it does not rely on a
LIS that is unable to provide accurate location information.
3. Determining a Domain Name
DHCP provides a direct means for the access network provider to
configure a Device. The access network domain name option identifies
a domain name that is suitable for service discovery within the
access network. This domain name is used as input to the U-NAPTR
resolution process for LIS discovery.
The domain name provided in this option is one owned by the access
network operator. This domain name is intended for use in
discovering services within the access network.
This document registers a DHCP option for the access network domain
name for both IPv4 and IPv6.
3.1. Domain Name Encoding
This section describes the encoding of the domain name used in the
DHCPv4 option defined in Section 3.2 and also used in the DHCPv6
option defined in Section 3.3.
The domain name is encoded according to Section 3.1 of [RFC1035].
Each label is represented as a one-octet length field followed by
that number of octets. Since every domain name ends with the null
label of the root, a domain name is terminated by a length byte of
zero. The high-order two bits of every length octet MUST be zero,
and the remaining six bits of the length field limit the label to 63
octets or less. To simplify implementations, the total length of a
domain name (i.e., label octets and label length octets) is
restricted to 255 octets or less.
Thomson & Winterbottom Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 5986 LIS Discovery September 2010
For example, the domain "example.com." is encoded in 13 octets as:
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
| 7 | e | x | a | m | p | l | e | 3 | c | o | m | 0 |
+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+
Note that the length field in either option represents the length of
the entire domain name encoding, whereas the length fields in the
domain name encoding is the length of a single domain name label.
3.2. Access Network Domain Name DHCPv4 Option
This section defines a DHCP for IPv4 (DHCPv4) option for the domain
name associated with the access network.

A DHCPv4 client MAY request an access network domain name option in a
Parameter Request List option, as described in [RFC2131].
This option contains a single domain name and, as such, MUST contain
precisely one root label.
3.3. Access Network Domain Name DHCPv6 Option
This section defines a DHCP for IPv6 (DHCPv6) option for the domain
name associated with the access network. The DHCPv6 option for this
parameter is similarly formatted to the DHCPv4 option.

A DHCPv6 client MAY request an access network domain name option in
an Options Request Option (ORO), as described in [RFC3315].
This option contains a single domain name and, as such, MUST contain
precisely one root label.
3.4. Alternative Domain Names
The U-NAPTR resolution method described requires a domain name as
input. The access network domain name DHCP options (Sections 3.2 and
3.3) are one source of this domain name.
If a Device knows one or more alternative domain names that might be
used for discovery, it MAY repeat the U-NAPTR process using those
domain names as input. For instance, static configuration of a
Device might be used to provide a Device with a domain name.
DHCPv4 option 15 [RFC2132] provides an indication of the domain name
that a host uses when resolving hostnames in DNS. This option is
used when the DHCPv4 access domain name is not available.
DHCPv4 option 15 might not be suitable for some network deployments.
For instance, a global enterprise could operate multiple sites, with
Devices at all sites using the same value for option 15. In this
type of deployment, it might be desirable to discover a LIS local to
a site. The access domain name option can be given a different value
at each site to enable discovery of a LIS at that site.
Thomson & Winterbottom Standards Track [Page 9]
RFC 5986 LIS Discovery September 2010
Alternative domain names MUST NOT be used unless the access network
domain name option is unsuccessful or where external information
indicates that a particular domain name is to be used.
Other domain names might be provided by a DHCP server (for example,
[RFC4702] for DHCPv4, [RFC4704] for DHCPv6). However, these domain
names could be provided without considering their use for LIS
discovery; therefore, it is not likely that these other domain names
contain useful values.
4. U-NAPTR Resolution of a LIS URI
U-NAPTR [RFC4848] resolution for a LIS takes a domain name as input
and produces a URI that identifies the LIS. This process also
requires an Application Service tag and an Application Protocol tag,
which differentiate LIS-related NAPTR records from other records for
that domain.
Section 6.2 defines an Application Service tag of "LIS", which is
used to identify the location service for a given domain. The
Application Protocol tag "HELD", defined in Section 6.3, is used to
identify a LIS that understands the HELD protocol [RFC5985].
The NAPTR records in the following example demonstrate the use of the
Application Service and Protocol tags. Iterative NAPTR resolution is
used to delegate responsibility for the LIS service from
"zonea.example.net." and "zoneb.example.net." to
"outsource.example.com.".

. ; replacement
)
Figure 4: Sample LIS:HELD Service NAPTR Records
Details for the "LIS" Application Service tag and the "HELD"
Application Protocol tag are included in Section 6.
U-NAPTR resolution might produce multiple results from each iteration
of the algorithm. Order and preference values in the NAPTR record
determine which value is chosen. A Device MAY attempt to use
alternative choices if the first choice is not successful. However,
if a request to the resulting URI produces a HELD "notLocatable"
response, or equivalent, the Device SHOULD NOT attempt to use any
alternative choices from the same domain name.
An HTTPS LIS URI that is a product of U-NAPTR MUST be authenticated
using the domain name method described in Section 3.1 of RFC 2818
[RFC2818]. The domain name that is used in this authentication is
the one extracted from the URI, not the one that was input to the
U-NAPTR resolution process.
5. Security Considerations
The address of a LIS is usually well-known within an access network;
therefore, interception of messages does not introduce any specific
concerns.
The primary attack against the methods described in this document is
one that would lead to impersonation of a LIS. The LIS is
responsible for providing location information, and this information
is critical to a number of network services; furthermore, a Device
Thomson & Winterbottom Standards Track [Page 11]
RFC 5986 LIS Discovery September 2010
does not necessarily have a prior relationship with a LIS. Several
methods are described here that can limit the probability of, or
provide some protection against, such an attack. These methods MUST
be applied unless similar protections are in place, or in cases --
such as an emergency -- where location information of dubious origin
is arguably better than none at all.
An attacker could attempt to compromise LIS discovery at any of three
stages:
1. providing a falsified domain name to be used as input to U-NAPTR
2. altering the DNS records used in U-NAPTR resolution
3. impersonating the LIS
The domain name that used to authenticate the LIS is the domain name
input to the U-NAPTR process, not the output of that process
[RFC3958], [RFC4848]. As a result, the results of DNS queries do not
need integrity protection.
An HTTPS URI is authenticated using the method described in Section
3.1 of [RFC2818]. HTTP client implementations frequently do not
provide a means to authenticate based on a domain name other than the
one indicated in the request URI, namely the U-NAPTR output. To
avoid having to authenticate the LIS with a domain name that is
different from the one used to identify it, a client MAY choose to
reject URIs that contain a domain name that is different to the
U-NAPTR input. To support endpoints that enforce the above
restriction on URIs, network administrators SHOULD ensure that the
domain name in the DHCP option is the same as the one contained in
the resulting URI.
Authentication of a LIS relies on the integrity of the domain name
acquired from DHCP. An attacker that is able to falsify a domain
name circumvents the protections provided. To ensure that the access
network domain name DHCP option can be relied upon, preventing DHCP
messages from being modified or spoofed by attackers is necessary.
Physical- or link-layer security are commonly used to reduce the
possibility of such an attack within an access network. DHCP
authentication [RFC3118] might also provide a degree of protection
against modification or spoofing.
A LIS that is identified by an HTTP URI cannot be authenticated. Use
of unsecured HTTP also does not meet requirements in HELD for
confidentiality and integrity. If an HTTP URI is the product of LIS
Thomson & Winterbottom Standards Track [Page 12]
RFC 5986 LIS Discovery September 2010
discovery, this leaves Devices vulnerable to several attacks. Lower-
layer protections, such as Layer 2 traffic separation might be used
to provide some guarantees.
6. IANA Considerations
6.1. Registration of DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 Option Codes
The IANA has assigned an option code of 213 for the DHCPv4 option for
an access network domain name option, as described in Section 3.2 of
this document.
The IANA has assigned an option code of 57 for the DHCPv6 option for
an access network domain name option, as described in Section 3.3 of
this document.
6.2. Registration of a Location Server Application Service Tag
