The China Mobile, Huawei, and ZTE Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) Simple
Control and User Plane Separation Protocol (S-CUSP)
Abstract
A Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) in a fixed wireline access network
is an Ethernet-centric IP edge router and the aggregation point for
subscriber traffic. Control and User Plane Separation (CUPS) for
such a BNG improves flexibility and scalability but requires various
communication between the User Plane (UP) and the Control Plane (CP).
China Mobile, Huawei Technologies, and ZTE have developed a simple
CUPS control channel protocol to support such communication: the
Simple Control and User Plane Separation Protocol (S-CUSP). S-CUSP
is defined in this document.
This document is not an IETF standard and does not have IETF
consensus. S-CUSP is presented here to make its specification
conveniently available to the Internet community to enable diagnosis
and interoperability.

1. Introduction
A Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) in a fixed wireline access network
is an Ethernet-centric IP edge router and the aggregation point for
subscriber traffic. To provide centralized session management,
flexible address allocation, high scalability for subscriber
management capacity, and cost-efficient redundancy, the CU-separated
(CP/UP-separated) BNG framework is described in a technical report
[TR-384] from the Broadband Forum (BBF). The CU-separated service
CP, which is responsible for user access authentication and setting
forwarding entries in UPs, can be virtualized and centralized. The
routing control and forwarding plane, i.e., the BNG UP (local), can
be distributed across the infrastructure. Other structures can also
be supported, such as the CP and UP being virtual or both being
physical.
Note: In this document, the terms "user" and "subscriber" are used
interchangeably.
This document specifies the Simple CU Separation Protocol (S-CUSP)
for communications over the BNG control channel between a BNG CP and
a set of UPs. S-CUSP is designed to be flexible and extensible so as
to allow for easy addition of messages and data items, should further
requirements be expressed in the future.
This document is not an IETF standard and does not have IETF
consensus. S-CUSP was designed by China Mobile, Huawei Technologies,
and ZTE. It is presented here to make the S-CUSP specification
conveniently available to the Internet community to enable diagnosis
and interoperability.
At the time of writing this document, the BBF is working to produce
[WT-459], which will describe an architecture and requirements for a
CP and UP separation of a disaggregated BNG. Future work may attempt
to show how the protocol described in this document addresses those
requirements and may modify this specification to handle unaddressed
requirements.
2. Terminology

3. BNG CUPS Overview
3.1. BNG CUPS Motivation
The rapid development of new services, such as 4K TV, Internet of
Things (IoT), etc., and increasing numbers of home broadband service
users present some new challenges for BNGs such as:
Low resource utilization: The traditional BNG acts as both a gateway
for user access authentication and accounting and also an IP
network's Layer 3 edge. The mutually affecting nature of the
tightly coupled control plane and forwarding plane makes it
difficult to achieve the maximum performance of either plane.
Complex management and maintenance: Due to the large numbers of
traditional BNGs, configuring each device in a network is very
tedious when deploying global service policies. As the network
expands and new services are introduced, this deployment mode will
cease to be feasible as it is unable to manage services
effectively and to rectify faults rapidly.
Slow service provisioning: The coupling of the CP and the forwarding
plane, in addition to being a distributed network control
mechanism, means that any new technology has to rely heavily on
the existing network devices.
The framework for a cloud-based BNG with CU separation to address
these challenges for fixed networks is described in [TR-384]. The
main idea of CU separation is to extract and centralize the user
management functions of multiple BNG devices, forming a unified and
centralized CP. The traditional router's CP and forwarding plane are
both preserved on BNG devices in the form of a UP.
3.2. BNG CUPS Architecture Overview
The functions in a traditional BNG can be divided into two parts: (1)
the user access management function and (2) the routing function.
The user access management function can be deployed as a centralized
module or device, called the BNG Control Plane (BNG-CP). The routing
function, which includes routing control and the forwarding engine,
can be deployed in the form of the BNG User Plane (BNG-UP).
Figure 1 shows the architecture of a CU-separated BNG:

Figure 1: Architecture of a CU-Separated BNG
As shown in Figure 1, the BNG-CP could be virtualized and
centralized, which provides benefits such as centralized session
management, flexible address allocation, high scalability for
subscriber management capacity, cost-efficient redundancy, etc. The
functional components inside the BNG-CP can be implemented as Virtual
Network Functions (VNFs) and hosted in an NFVI.
The UP management module in the BNG-CP centrally manages the
distributed BNG-UPs (e.g., load balancing), as well as the setup,
deletion, and maintenance of channels between CPs and UPs. Other
modules in the BNG-CP, such as address management, AAA, etc., are
responsible for the connection with external subsystems in order to
fulfill those services. Note that the UP SHOULD support both
physical and virtual network functions. For example, network
functions related to BNG-UP L3 forwarding can be disaggregated and
distributed across the physical infrastructure, and the other CP
management functions in the CU-separated BNG can be moved into the
NFVI for virtualization [TR-384].
The details of the CU-separated BNG's function components are as
follows:
The CP is responsible for the following:
* Address management: Unified address pool management and CGN
subscriber address traceability management.
* AAA: This component performs Authentication, Authorization, and
Accounting, together with RADIUS/Diameter. The BNG communicates
with the AAA server to check whether the subscriber who sent an
access request has network access authority. Once the subscriber
goes online, this component (together with the Service Control
component) implements accounting, data capacity limitation, and
QoS enforcement policies.
* Subscriber management: User entry management and forwarding policy
management.
* Access management: Process user dial-up packets, such as PPPoE,
DHCP, L2TP, etc.
* UP management: Management of UP interface status and the setup,
deletion, and maintenance of channels between CP and UP.
The UP is responsible for the following:
* Routing control functions: Responsible for instantiating routing
forwarding plane (e.g., routing, multicast, MPLS, etc.).
* Routing and service forwarding plane functions: Responsibilities
include traffic forwarding, QoS, and traffic statistics
collection.
* Subscriber detection: Responsible for detecting whether a
subscriber is still online.
3.3. BNG CUPS Interfaces
The three interfaces defined below support the communication between
the CP and UP. These are referred to as the Service Interface (Si),
Control Interface (Ci), and Management Interface (Mi) as shown in
Figure 2.

Figure 2: Interfaces between the CP and UP of the BNG
3.3.1. Service Interface (Si)
For a traditional BNG (without CU separation), the user dial-up
signals are terminated and processed by the CP of a BNG. When the CP
and UP of a BNG are separated, there needs to be a way to relay these
signals between the CP and the UP.
The Si is used to establish tunnels between the CP and UP. The
tunnels are responsible for relaying the PPPoE-, IPoE-, and L2TP-
related control packets that are received from a Residential Gateway
(RG) over those tunnels. An appropriate tunnel type is Virtual
eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) [RFC7348].
The detailed definition of Si is out of scope for this document.
3.3.2. Control Interface (Ci)
The CP uses the Ci to deliver subscriber session states, network
routing entries, etc., to the UP (see Section 6.2.7). The UP uses
this interface to report subscriber service statistics, subscriber
detection results, etc., to the CP (see Sections 6.3 and 6.4). A
carrying protocol for this interface is specified in this document.
3.3.3. Management Interface (Mi)
The Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF) [RFC6241] is the
protocol used on the Mi between a CP and UP. It is used to configure
the parameters of the Ci, Si, access interfaces, and QoS/ACL
Templates. It is expected that implementations will make use of
existing YANG models where possible but that new YANG models specific
to S-CUSP will need to be defined. The definitions of the parameters
that can be configured are out of scope for this document.
3.4. BNG CUPS Procedure Overview
The following numbered sequences (Figure 3) give a high-level view of
the main BNG CUPS procedures.

Figure 3: BNG CUPS Procedures Overview
(1) S-CUSP session establishment: This is the first step of the BNG
CUPS procedures. Once the Ci parameters are configured on a
UP, it will start to set up S-CUSP sessions with the specified
CPs. The detailed definition of S-CUSP session establishment
can be found in Section 4.1.1.
(2) Board and interface report: Once the S-CUSP session is
established between the UP and a CP, the UP will report status
information on the boards and subscriber-facing interfaces of
this UP to the CP. A board can also be called a Line/Service
Process Unit (LPU/SPU) card. The subscriber-facing interfaces
refer to the interfaces that connect the access network nodes
(e.g., Optical Line Terminal (OLT), DSLAM, etc.). The CP can
use this information to enable the Broadband Access Server
(BAS) function (e.g., IPoE, PPPoE, etc.) on the specified
interfaces. See Sections 4.2.1 and 7.10 for more details on
resource reporting.
(3) BAS function enable: To enable the BAS function on the
specified interfaces of a UP.
(4) Subscriber network route advertisement: The CP will allocate
one or more IP address blocks to a UP. Each address block
contains a series of IP addresses. Those IP addresses will be
allocated to subscribers who are dialing up from the UP. To
enable other nodes in the network to learn how to reach the
subscribers, the CP needs to notify the UP to advertise to the
network the routes that can reach those IP addresses.
(5) 5.1-5.6 is a complete call flow of a subscriber dial-up (as
defined in Section 4.3.1) process. When a UP receives a dial-
up request, it will relay the request packet to a CP through
the Si. The CP will parse the request. If everything is OK,
it will send an authentication request to the AAA server to
authenticate the subscriber. Once the subscriber passes the
authentication, the AAA server will return a positive response
to the CP. Then the CP will send the dial-up response packet
to the UP, and the UP will forward the response packet to the
subscriber (RG). At the same time, the CP will create a
subscriber session on the UP, enabling the subscriber to access
the network. For different access types, the process may be a
bit different, but the high-level process is similar. For each
access type, the detailed process can be found in Section 5.
(6) 6.1-6.3 is the sequence when updating an existing subscriber
session. The AAA server initiates a Change of Authorization
(CoA) and sends the CoA to the CP. The CP will then update the
session according to the CoA. See Section 4.3.2 for more
detail on CP messages updating UP tables.
(7) 7.1-7.5 is the sequence for deleting an existing subscriber
session. When a UP receives an Offline Request, it will relay
the request to a CP through the Si. The CP will send back a
response to the UP through the Si. The UP will then forward
the Offline Response to the subscriber. Then the CP will
delete the session on the UP through the Ci.
(8) Event reports include the following two parts (more detail can
be found in Section 4.3.4). Both are reported using the Event
message:
8.1. Subscriber Traffic Statistics Report
8.2. Subscriber Detection Result Report
(9) Data synchronization: See Section 4.2.5 for more detail on CP
and UP synchronization.
(10) CGN address allocation: See Section 4.2.4 for more detail on
CGN address allocation.
4. S-CUSP Protocol Overview
4.1. Control Channel Procedures
4.1.1. S-CUSP Session Establishment
A UP is associated with a CP and is controlled by that CP. In the
case of a hot-standby or cold-standby, a UP is associated with two
CPs: the master CP and standby CP. The association between a UP and
its CPs is implemented by dynamic configuration.
Once a UP knows its CPs, the UP starts to establish S-CUSP sessions
with those CPs, as shown in Figure 4.
UP CP
| TCP Session Establishment |
|<------------------------------->|
| |
| Hello (version, capability) |
|-------------------------------->|
| |
| Hello (version, capability) |
|<--------------------------------|
| |
Figure 4: S-CUSP Session Establishment
The S-CUSP session establishment consists of two successive steps:
(1) Establishment of a TCP connection (3-way handshake) [RFC793]
between the CP and the UP using a configured port from the
dynamic port range (49152-65535).
(2) Establishment of an S-CUSP session over the TCP connection.
Once the TCP connection is established, the CP and the UP initialize
the S-CUSP session, during which the version and Keepalive timers are
negotiated.
The version information (Hello TLV, see Section 7.4) is carried
within Hello messages (see Section 6.2.1). A CP can support multiple
versions, but a UP can only support one version; thus the version
negotiation is based on whether a version can be supported by both
the CP and the UP. If a CP or UP receives a Hello message that does
not indicate a version supported by both, it responds with a Hello
message containing an Error Information TLV to notify the peer of the
Version-Mismatch error, and the session establishment phase fails.
Keepalive negotiation is performed by carrying a Keepalive TLV in the
Hello message. The Keepalive TLV includes a Keepalive timer and
DeadTimer field. The CP and UP have to agree on the Keepalive Timer
and DeadTimer. Otherwise, a subsequent Hello message with an Error
Information TLV will be sent to its peer, and the session
establishment phase fails.
The S-CUSP session establishment phase fails if the CP or UP disagree
on the version and keepalive parameters or if one of the CP or UP
does not answer after the expiration of the Establishment timer.
When the S-CUSP session establishment fails, the TCP connection is
promptly closed. Successive retries are permitted, but an
implementation SHOULD make use of an exponential backoff session
establishment retry procedure.
The S-CUSP session timer values that need to be configured are
summarized in Table 1.
+---------------------+------------------+---------------+
| Timer Name | Range in Seconds | Default Value |
+=====================+==================+===============+
| Establishment Timer | 1-32767 | 45 |
+---------------------+------------------+---------------+
| Keepalive Timer | 0-255 | 30 |
+---------------------+------------------+---------------+
| DeadTimer | 1-32767 | 4 * Keepalive |
+---------------------+------------------+---------------+
Table 1: S-CUSP Session Timers
4.1.2. Keepalive Timer and DeadTimer
Once an S-CUSP session has been established, a UP or CP may want to
know that its S-CUSP peer is still connected.
Each end of an S-CUSP session runs a Keepalive timer. It restarts
the timer every time it sends a message on the session. When the
timer expires, it sends a Keepalive message. Thus, a message is
transmitted at least as often as the value to which the Keepalive
timer is reset, unless, as explained below, that value is the special
value zero.
Each end of an S-CUSP session also runs a DeadTimer and restarts that
DeadTimer whenever a message is received on the session. If the
DeadTimer expires at an end of the session, that end declares the
session dead and the session will be closed, unless their DeadTimer
is set to the special value zero, in which case the session will not
time out.
The minimum value of the Keepalive timer is 1 second, and it is
specified in units of 1 second. The RECOMMENDED default value is 30
seconds. The recommended default for the DeadTimer is four times the
value of the Keepalive timer used by the remote peer. As above, the
timers may be disabled by setting them to zero.
The Keepalive timer and DeadTimer are negotiated through the
Keepalive TLV carried in the Hello message.
4.2. Node Procedures
4.2.1. UP Resource Report
Once an S-CUSP session has been established between a CP and a UP,
the UP reports the state information of the boards and access-facing
interfaces on the UP to the CP, as shown in Figure 5. Report
messages are unacknowledged and are assumed to be delivered because
the session runs over TCP.
The CP can use that information to activate/enable the BAS functions
(e.g., IPoE, PPPoE, etc.) on the specified interfaces.
In addition, the UP resource report may trigger a UP warm-standby
process. In the case of warm-standby, a failure on a UP may trigger
the CP to start a warm-standby process, by moving the online
subscriber sessions to a standby UP and then directing the affected
subscribers to access the Internet through the standby UP.
UP CP
| Report Board Status |
|------to CP via Ci----->|
| |
| Report Interface Status|
|------to CP via Ci----->|
| |
Figure 5: UP Board and Interface Report
Board status information is carried in the Board Status TLV
(Section 7.10.2), and interface status information is carried in the
Interface Status TLV (Section 7.10.1). Both Board Status and
Interface Status TLVs are carried in the Report message
(Section 6.4).
4.2.2. Update BAS Function on Access Interface
Once the CP collects the interface status of a UP, it will
activate/deactivate/modify the BAS functions on specified interfaces
through the Update_Request and Update_Response message exchanges
(Section 6.2), carrying the BAS Function TLV (Section 7.7).
UP CP
| Update BAS Function |
| Request |
|<-----on UP via Ci-------|
| |
| Update BAS Function |
| Response |
|------on UP via Ci------>|
| |
Figure 6: Update BAS Function
4.2.3. Update Network Routing
The CP will allocate one or more address blocks to a UP. Each
address block contains a series of IP addresses. Those IP addresses
will be assigned to subscribers who are dialing up to the UP. To
enable the other nodes in the network to learn how to reach the
subscribers, the CP needs to install the routes on the UP and notify
the UP to advertise the routes to the network.
UP CP
| Subscriber network route|
| update request |
|<------- via Ci----------|
| |
| Subscriber network route|
| update response |
|-------- via Ci--------->|
| |
Figure 7: Update Network Routing
The Update_Request and Update_Response message exchanges, carrying
the IPv4/IPv6 Routing TLVs (Section 7.8), update the subscriber's
network routing information.
4.2.4. CGN Public IP Address Allocation
The following sequences (Figure 8) describe the procedures related to
CGN address management. Three independent procedures are defined:
one each for CGN address allocation request/response, CGN address
renewal request/response, and CGN address release request/response.
CGN address allocation/renew/release procedures are designed for the
case where the CGN function is running on the UP. The UP has to map
the subscriber private IP addresses to public IP addresses, and such
mapping is performed by the UP locally when a subscriber dials up.
That means the UP has to ask for public IPv4 address blocks for CGN
subscribers from the CP.
In addition, when a public IP address is allocated to a UP, there
will be a lease time (e.g., one day). Before the lease time expires,
the UP can ask for renewal of the IP address lease from the CP. It
is achieved by the exchange of the Addr_Renew_Req and Addr_Renew_Ack
messages.
If the public IP address will not be used anymore, the UP SHOULD
release the address by sending an Addr_Release_Req message to the CP.
If the CP wishes to withdraw addresses that it has previously leased
to a UP, it uses the same procedures as above. The Oper code (see
Section 7.1) in the IPv4/IPv6 Routing TLV (see Section 7.8)
determines whether the request is an update or withdraw.
The relevant messages are defined in Section 6.5.

4.2.5. Data Synchronization between the CP and UP
For a CU-separated BNG, the UP will continue to function using the
state that has been installed in it even if the CP fails or the
session between the UP and CP fails.
Under some circumstances, it is necessary to synchronize state
between the CP and UP, for example, if a CP fails and the UP is
switched to a different CP.
Synchronization includes two directions. One direction is from UP to
CP; in that case, the synchronization information is mainly about the
board/interface status of the UP. The other direction is from CP to
UP; in that case, the subscriber sessions, subscriber network routes,
L2TP tunnels, etc., will be synchronized to the UP.
The synchronization is triggered by a Sync_Request message, to which
the receiver will (1) reply with a Sync_Begin message to notify the
requester that synchronization will begin and (2) then start the
synchronization using the Sync_Data message. When synchronization
finishes, a Sync_End message will be sent.
Figure 9 shows the process of data synchronization between a UP and a
CP.

4.3. Subscriber Session Procedures
A subscriber session consists of a set of forwarding states,
policies, and security rules that are applied to the subscriber. It
is used for forwarding subscriber traffic in a UP. To initialize a
session on a UP, a collection of hardware resources (e.g., NP, TCAM,
etc.) has to be allocated to a session on a UP as part of its
initiation.
Procedures related to subscriber sessions include subscriber session
creation, update, deletion, and statistics reporting. The following
subsections give a high-level view of the procedures.
4.3.1. Create Subscriber Session
The sequence below (Figure 10) describes the DHCP IPv4 dial-up
process. It is an example that shows how a subscriber session is
created. (An example for IPv6 appears in Section 5.1.2.)
RG UP CP AAA
| Online Request| | |
1|-------------->| | |
| |Relay the Online Request| |
| 2|-----to CP via Si------>| Authentication|
| | | Req/Rep |
| | 3|<------------->|
| | Create Subscriber | |
| | Session Request | |
| 4|<--------via Ci---------| |
| | | |
| | Create Subscriber | |
| | Session Response | |
| 5|---------via Ci-------->| |
| | | Accounting |
| | 6|<------------->|
| | Send Online Response | |
| 7|<----to UP via Si-------| |
| | | |
|Online Response| | |
8|<--------------| | |
| | | |
Figure 10: Creating a Subscriber Session
The request starts from an Online Request message (step 1) from the
RG (for example, a DHCP Discovery packet). When the UP receives the
Online Request from the RG, it will tunnel the Online Request to the
CP through the Si (step 2). A tunneling technology implements the
Si.
When the CP receives the Online Request from the UP, it will send an
authentication request to the AAA server to authenticate and
authorize the subscriber (step 3). When a positive reply is received
from the AAA server, the CP starts to create a subscriber session for
the request. Relevant resources (e.g., IP address, bandwidth, etc.)
will be allocated to the subscriber. Policies and security rules
will be generated for the subscriber. Then the CP sends a request to
create a session to the UP through the Ci (step 4), and a response is
expected from the UP to confirm the creation (step 5).
Finally, the CP will notify the AAA server to start accounting (step
6). At the same time, an Online Response message (for example, a
DHCP Ack packet) will be sent to the UP through the Si (step 7). The
UP will then forward the Online Response to the RG (step 8).
That completes the subscriber activation process.
4.3.2. Update Subscriber Session
The following numbered sequence (Figure 11) shows the process of
updating the subscriber session.
UP CP AAA
| | CoA Request |
| 1|<--------------|
| Session Update Request | |
2|<--------via Ci---------| |
| | |
| Session Update Response| |
3|---------via Ci-------->| |
| | CoA Response |
| 4|-------------->|
| | |
Figure 11: Updating a Subscriber Session
When a subscriber session has been created on a UP, there may be
requirements to update the session with new parameters (e.g.,
bandwidth, QoS, policies, etc.).
This procedure is triggered by a Change of Authorization (CoA)
request message sent by the AAA server. The CP will update the
session on the UP according to the new parameters through the Ci.
4.3.3. Delete Subscriber Session
The call flow below shows how S-CUSP deals with a subscriber Offline
Request.
RG UP CP
|Offline Request | |
1|--------------->| |
| | Relay the Offline |
| | Request |
| 2|------to CP via Si----->|
| | |
| | Send the Offline |
| | Response |
| 3|<-----to UP via Si------|
|Offline Response| |
4|<---------------| |
| | Session Delete |
| | Request |
| |<--------via Ci---------|
| | Session Delete |
| | Response |
| |---------via Ci-------->|
| | |
Figure 12: Deleting a Subscriber Session
Similar to the session creation process, when a UP receives an
Offline Request from an RG, it will tunnel the request to a CP
through the Si.
When the CP receives the Offline Request, it will withdraw/release
the resources (e.g., IP address, bandwidth) that have been allocated
to the subscriber. It then sends a reply to the UP through the Si,
and the UP will forward the reply to the RG. At the same time, it
will delete all the status of the session on the UP through the Ci.
4.3.4. Subscriber Session Events Report
UP CP
| Statistic/Detect Report|
|---------via Ci-------->|
| |
Figure 13: Events Report
When a session is created on a UP, the UP will periodically report
statistics information and subscriber detection results of the
session to the CP.
5. S-CUSP Call Flows
The subsections below give an overview of various "dial-up"
interactions over the Si followed by an overview of the setting of
information in the UP by the CP using S-CUSP over the Ci.
S-CUSP messages are described in this document using Routing Backus
Naur Form (RBNF) as defined in [RFC5511].
5.1. IPoE
5.1.1. DHCPv4 Access
The following sequence (Figure 14) shows detailed procedures for
DHCPv4 access.
RG UP CP AAA
| DHCP Discovery| | |
1|-------------->| | |
| |Relay the DHCP Discovery| |
| 2|-----to CP via Si------>| AAA |

12|<--------------| | |
| | | |
Figure 14: DHCPv4 Access
S-CUSP implements steps 8 and 9.
After a subscriber is authenticated and authorized by the AAA server,
the CP creates a new subscriber session on the UP. This is achieved
by sending an Update_Request message to the UP.
The format of the Update_Request message is shown as follows using
RBNF:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
The UP will reply with an Update_Response message. The format of the
Update_Response message is as follows:
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
[<Subscriber CGN Port Range TLV>]
5.1.2. DHCPv6 Access
The following sequence (Figure 15) shows detailed procedures for
DHCPv6 access.
RG UP CP AAA
| Solicit | | |
1|-------------->| | |
| | Relay the Solicit | |
| 2|-----to CP via Si------>| AAA |

| Reply | | |
12|<--------------| | |
| | | |
Figure 15: DHCPv6 Access
Steps 1-7 are a standard DHCP IPv6 access process. The subscriber
creation is triggered by a DHCP IPv6 request message. When this
message is received, it means that the subscriber has passed the AAA
authentication and authorization. Then the CP will create a
subscriber session on the UP. This is achieved by sending an
Update_Request message to the UP (step 8).
The format of the Update_Request message is as follows:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
The UP will reply with an Update_Response message (step 9). The
format of the Update_Response message is as follows:
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
5.1.3. IPv6 Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) Access
The following flow (Figure 16) shows the IPv6 SLAAC access process.
RG UP CP AAA
| RS | | |

Figure 16: IPv6 SLAAC Access
It starts with a Router Solicit (RS) request from an RG that is
tunneled to the CP by the UP. After the AAA authentication and
authorization, the CP will create a subscriber session on the UP.
This is achieved by sending an Update_Request message to the UP (step
4).
The format of the Update_Request message is as follows:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
The UP will reply with an Update_Response message (step 5). The
format of the Update_Response message is as follows:
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
5.1.4. DHCPv6 and SLAAC Access
The following call flow (Figure 17) shows the DHCP IPv6 and SLAAC
access process.

| | | |
Figure 17: DHCPv6 and SLAAC Access
When a subscriber passes AAA authentication, the CP will create a
subscriber session on the UP. This is achieved by sending an
Update_Request message to the UP (step 4).
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
The UP will reply with an Update_Response message (step 5). The
format of the Update_Response is as follows:
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
After receiving a DHCPv6 Solicit, the CP will update the subscriber
session by sending an Update_Request message with new parameters to
the UP (step 10).
The format of the Update_Request message is as follows:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
The UP will reply with an Update_Response message (step 11). The
format of the Update_Response is as follows:
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
5.1.5. DHCP Dual-Stack Access
The following sequence (Figure 18) is a combination of DHCP IPv4 and
DHCP IPv6 access processes.

Figure 18: DHCP Dual-Stack Access
The DHCP dual-stack access includes three sets of Update_Request/
Update_Response exchanges to create/update a DHCPv4/v6 subscriber
session.
(1) Create a DHCPv4 session (steps 8 and 9):

| | | |
Figure 19: L2 Static Subscriber Access
For L2 static subscriber access, the process starts with a CP
installing a static subscriber detection list on a UP. The list
determines which subscribers will be detected. That is implemented
by exchanging Update_Request and Update_Response messages between CP
and UP. The formats of the messages are as follows:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<IPv4 Static Subscriber Detect TLVs>
<IPv6 Static Subscriber Detect TLVs>
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
For L2 static subscriber access, there are three ways to trigger the
access process:
(1) Triggered by UP (steps 3.1-3.6): This assumes that the UP knows
the IP address, the access interface, and the VLAN of the RG.
The UP will actively trigger the access flow by sending an ARP/
ND packet to the RG. If the RG is online, it will reply with an
ARP/ND to the UP. The UP will tunnel the ARP/ND to the CP
through the Si. The CP then triggers the authentication
process. If the authentication result is positive, the CP will
create a corresponding subscriber session on the UP.
(2) Triggered by RG ARP/ND (steps 4.1-4.6): Most of the process is
the same as option 1 (triggered by UP). The difference is that
the RG will actively send the ARP/ND to trigger the process.
(3) Triggered by RG IP traffic (steps 5.1-5.7): This is for the case
where the RG has the ARP/ND information, but the subscriber
session on the UP is lost (e.g., due to failure on the UP or the
UP restarting). That means the RG may keep sending IP packets
to the UP. The packets will trigger the UP to start a new
access process.
From a subscriber session point of view, the procedures and the
message formats for the three cases above are the same, as follows.
IPv4 Case:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
[<Subscriber CGN Port Range TLV>]
IPv6 Case:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>

Figure 20: IPv4 PPPoE Access
In the above sequence, steps 1-4 are the standard PPPoE call flow.
The UP is responsible for redirecting the PPPoE control packets to
the CP or RG. The PPPoE control packets are transmitted between the
CP and UP through the Si.
After the PPPoE call flow, if the subscriber passed the AAA
authentication and authorization, the CP will create a corresponding
session on the UP through the Ci. The formats of the messages are as
follows:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<PPP Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>

Figure 21: IPv6 PPPoE Access
From the above sequence, steps 1-4 are the standard PPPoE call flow.
The UP is responsible for redirecting the PPPoE control packets to
the CP or RG. The PPPoE control packets are transmitted between the
CP and UP through the Si.
After the PPPoE call flow, if the subscriber passed the AAA
authentication and authorization, the CP will create a corresponding
session on the UP through the Ci. The formats of the messages are as
follows:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<PPP Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
Then, the RG will initialize an ND/DHCPv6 negotiation process with
the CP (see steps 7 and 7'); after that, it will trigger an update
(steps 8-9 and 8'-9') to the subscriber session. The formats of the
update messages are as follows:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<PPP Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>

Figure 22: PPPoE Dual-Stack Access
PPPoE dual stack is a combination of IPv4 PPPoE and IPv6 PPPoE
access. The process is as above. The formats of the messages are as
follows:
(1) Create an IPv4 PPPoE subscriber session (steps 5-6):
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<PPP Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>

[<Subscriber CGN Port Range TLV>]
(2) Create an IPv6 PPPoE subscriber session (steps 5'-6'):
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<PPP Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
(3) Update the IPv6 PPPoE subscriber session (steps 9-10 and 9'-
10'):
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<PPP Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Routing TLV>

Figure 23: WLAN Access
WLAN access starts with the DHCP dial-up process (steps 1-6). After
that, the CP will create a subscriber session on the UP (steps 7-8).
The formats of the session creation messages are as follows:
IPv4 Case:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
[<Subscriber CGN Port Range TLV>]
IPv6 Case:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
After step 10, the RG will be allocated an IP address, and its first
HTTP packet will be redirected to a web server for subscriber
authentication (steps 11-17). After the web authentication, if the
result is positive, the CP will update the subscriber session by
using the following message exchanges:
IPv4 Case:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
[<Subscriber CGN Port Range TLV>]
IPv6 Case:

Figure 24: L2TP LAC Access
Steps 1-4 are a standard PPPoE access process. After that, the LAC-
CP starts to negotiate an L2TP session and tunnel with the LNS.
After the negotiation, the CP will create an L2TP LAC subscriber
session on the UP through the following messages:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<L2TP-LAC Subscriber TLV>
<L2TP-LAC Tunnel TLV>

Figure 25: L2TP LNS IPv4 Access
In this case, the BNG is running as an LNS and separated into LNS-CP
and LNS-UP. Steps 1-5 finish the normal L2TP dial-up process. When
the L2TP session and tunnel negotiations are finished, the LNS-CP
will create an L2TP LNS subscriber session on the LNS-UP. The format
of the messages is as follows:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<L2TP-LNS Subscriber TLV>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<PPP Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Routing TLV>
<L2TP-LNS Tunnel TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
[<Subscriber CGN Port Range TLV>]
After that, the LNS-CP will trigger a AAA authentication. If the
authentication result is positive, a PPP IP Control Protocol (IPCP)
process will follow, and then the CP will update the session with the
following message exchanges:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<L2TP-LNS Subscriber TLV>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<PPP Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Routing TLV>

Figure 26: L2TP LNS IPv6 Access
Steps 1-12 are the same as L2TP LNS IPv4 access. Steps 1-5 finish
the normal L2TP dial-up process. When the L2TP session and tunnel
negotiations are finished, the LNS-CP will create an L2TP LNS
subscriber session on the LNS-UP. The format of the messages is as
follows:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<L2TP-LNS Subscriber TLV>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<PPP Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Routing TLV>
<L2TP-LNS Tunnel TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
After that, the LNS-CP will trigger a AAA authentication. If the
authentication result is positive, a PPP IP6CP process will follow,
and then the CP will update the session with the following message
exchanges:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<L2TP-LNS Subscriber TLV>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<PPP Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Routing TLV>
<L2TP-LNS Tunnel TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
Then, an ND negotiation will be triggered by the RG. After the ND
negotiation, the CP will update the session with the following
message exchanges:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<L2TP-LAC Subscriber TLV>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<PPP Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Routing TLV>
<L2TP-LNS Tunnel TLV>

Figure 27: CGN Access
The first steps allocate one or more CGN address blocks to the UP
(steps 1-2). This is achieved by the following message exchanges
between CP and UP:
<Addr_Allocation_Req Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Address Allocation Request TLV>
<Addr_Allocation_Ack Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Address Allocation Response TLV>
Steps 3-9 show the general dial-up process in the case of CGN mode.
The specific processes (e.g., IPoE, PPPoE, L2TP, etc.) are defined in
above sections.
If a subscriber is a CGN subscriber, once the subscriber session is
created/updated, the UP will report the NAT information to the CP.
This is achieved by carrying the Subscriber CGN Port Range TLV in the
Update_Response message.

Figure 28: Web Authentication-Based L3 Leased Line Access
In this case, IP traffic from the RG will trigger the CP to
authenticate the RG by checking the source IP and the exchanges with
the AAA server. Once the RG has passed the authentication, the CP
will create a corresponding subscriber session on the UP through the
following message exchanges:
IPv4 Case:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>

<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
Then, the HTTP traffic from the RG will be redirected to a web server
to finish the web authentication. Once the web authentication is
passed, the CP will trigger another AAA authentication. After the
AAA authentication, the CP will update the session with the following
message exchanges:
IPv4 Case:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>

Figure 29: User Traffic Triggered L3 Leased Line Access
In this case, the CP must install on the UP an access control list,
which is used by the UP to determine whether or not an RG is legal.
If the traffic is from a legal RG, it will be redirected to the CP
though the Si. The CP will trigger a AAA interchange with the AAA
server. After that, the CP will create a corresponding subscriber
session on the UP with the following message exchanges:
IPv4 Case:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Routing TLV>
[<Subscriber Policy TLV>]

Figure 30: Multicast Access
Multicast access starts with a user access request from the RG. The
request will be redirected to the CP by the Si. A follow-up AAA
interchange between the CP and the AAA server will be triggered.
After the authentication, the CP will create a multicast subscriber
session on the UP through the following messages:
IPv4 Case, there will be a Multicast-ProfileV4 sub-TLV present in the
Subscriber Policy TLV:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv4 Routing TLV>
<Subscriber Policy TLV>
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
[<Subscriber CGN Port Range TLV>]
IPv6 Case, there will be a Multicast-ProfileV6 sub-TLV present in the
Subscriber Policy TLV:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Basic Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Subscriber TLV>
<IPv6 Routing TLV>
<Subscriber Policy TLV>
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Update Response TLV>
6. S-CUSP Message Formats
An S-CUSP message consists of a common header followed by a variable-
length body consisting entirely of TLVs. Receiving an S-CUSP message
with an unknown message type or missing mandatory TLV MUST trigger an
Error message (see Section 6.7) or a Response message with an Error
Information TLV (see Section 7.6).
Conversely, if a TLV is optional, the TLV may or may not be present.
Optional TLVs are indicated in the message formats shown in this
document by being enclosed in square brackets.
This section specifies the format of the common S-CUSP message header
and lists the defined messages.
Network byte order is used for all multi-byte fields.

Figure 31: S-CUSP Message Common Header
Ver (4 bits): The major version of the protocol. This document
specifies version 1. Different major versions of the protocol may
have significantly different message structures and formats except
that the Ver field will always be in the same place at the
beginning of each message. A successful S-CUSP session depends on
the CP and the UP both using the same major version of the
protocol.
Resv (4 bits): Reserved. MUST be sent as zero and ignored on
receipt.
Message-Type (8 bits): The set of message types specified in this
document is listed in Section 8.1.
Message-Length (16 bits): Total length of the S-CUSP message
including the common header, expressed in number of bytes as an
unsigned integer.
Transaction-ID (16 bits): This field is used to identify requests.
It is echoed back in any corresponding ACK/Response/Error message.
It is RECOMMENDED that a monotonically increasing value be used in
successive messages and that the value wraps back to zero after
0xFFFF. The content of this field is an opaque value that the
receiver MUST NOT use for any purpose except to echo back in a
corresponding response and, optionally, for logging.

Table 2: Control Messages
6.2.1. Hello Message
The Hello message is used for S-CUSP session establishment and
version negotiation. The details of S-CUSP session establishment and
version negotiation can be found in Section 4.1.1.
The format of the Hello message is as follows:
<Hello Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Hello TLV>
<Keepalive TLV>
[<Error Information TLV>]
The return code and negotiation result will be carried in the Error
Information TLV. They are listed as follows:
0: Success. Version negotiation success.
1: Failure. Malformed message received.
2: TLV-Unknown. One or more of the TLVs was not understood.
1001: Version-Mismatch. The version negotiation fails. The S-CUSP
session establishment phase fails.
1002: Keepalive Error. The keepalive negotiation fails. The S-CUSP
session establishment phase fails.
1003: Timer Expires. The establishment timer expired. Session
establishment phase fails.
6.2.2. Keepalive Message
Each end of an S-CUSP session periodically sends a Keepalive message.
It is used to detect whether the peer end is still alive. The
Keepalive procedures are defined in Section 4.1.2.
The format of the Keepalive message is as follows:
<Keepalive Message> ::= <Common Header>
6.2.3. Sync_Request Message
The Sync_Request message is used to request synchronization from an
S-CUSP peer. Both CP and UP can request their peer to synchronize
data.
The format of the Sync_Request message is as follows:
<Sync_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
A Sync_Request message may result in a Sync_Begin message from its
peer. The Sync_Begin message is defined in Section 6.2.4.
6.2.4. Sync_Begin Message
The Sync_Begin message is a reply to a Sync_Request message. It is
used to notify the synchronization requester whether the
synchronization can be started.
The format of the Sync_Begin message is as follows:
<Sync_Begin Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Error Information TLV>
The return codes are carried in the Error Information TLV. The codes
are listed below:
0: Success. Be ready to synchronize.
1: Failure. Malformed message received.
2: TLV-Unknown. One or more of the TLVs was not understood.
2001: Synch-NoReady. The data to be synchronized is not ready.
2002: Synch-Unsupport. The data synchronization is not supported.
6.2.5. Sync_Data Message
The Sync_Data message is used to send data being synchronized between
the CP and UP. The Sync_Data message has the same function and
format as the Update_Request message. The difference is that there
is no ACK for a Sync_Data message. An error caused by the Sync_Data
message will result in a Sync_End message.
There are two scenarios:
* Synchronization from UP to CP: Synchronize the resource data to
CP.
<Sync_Data Message> ::= <Common Header>
[<Interface Status TLV>]
[<Board Status TLV>]
* Synchronization from CP to UP: Synchronize all subscriber sessions
to the UP. The Subscriber TLVs carried are those appearing in
Section 7.9. As for which TLVs should be carried, it depends on
the specific session data to be synchronized. The process is
equivalent to the creation of a particular session. Refer to
Section 5 to see more details.
<Sync_Data Message> ::= <Common Header>
[<IPv4 Routing TLV>]
[<IPv6 Routing TLV>]
[<Subscriber TLVs>]
6.2.6. Sync_End Message
The Sync_End message is used to indicate the end of a synchronization
process. The format of a Sync_End message is as follows:
<Sync_End Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Error Information TLV>
The return/error codes are listed as follows:
0: Success. Synchronization finished.
1: Failure. Malformed message received.
2: TLV-Unknown. One or more of the TLVs was not understood.
6.2.7. Update_Request Message
The Update_Request message is a multipurpose message; it can be used
to create, update, and delete subscriber sessions on a UP.
For session operations, the specific operation is controlled by the
Oper field of the carried TLVs. As defined in Section 7.1, the Oper
field can be set to either Update or Delete when a TLV is carried in
an Update_Request message.
When the Oper field is set to Update, it means to create or update a
subscriber session. If the Oper field is set to Delete, it is a
request to delete a corresponding session.
The format of the Update_Request message is as follows:
<Update_Request Message> ::= <Common Header>
[<IPv4 Routing TLV>]
[<IPv6 Routing TLV>]
[<Subscriber TLVs>]
Where the Subscriber TLVs are those appearing in Section 7.9. Each
Update_Request message will result in an Update_Response message,
which is defined in Section 6.2.8.
6.2.8. Update_Response Message
The Update_Response message is a response to an Update_Request
message. It is used to confirm the update request (or reject it in
the case of an error). The format of an Update_Response message is
as follows:
<Update_Response Message> ::= <Common Header>
[<Subscriber CGN Port Range TLV>]
<Error Information TLV>
The return/error codes are carried in the Error Information TLV.
They are listed as follows:
0: Success.
1: Failure. Malformed message received.
2: TLV-Unknown. One or more of the TLVs was not understood.
3001: Pool-Mismatch. The corresponding address pool cannot be
found.
3002: Pool-Full. The address pool is fully allocated, and no
address segment is available.
3003: Subnet-Mismatch. The address pool subnet cannot be found.
3004: Subnet-Conflict. Subnets in the address pool have been
classified into other clients.
4001: Update-Fail-No-Res. The forwarding table fails to be delivered
because the forwarding resources are insufficient.
4002: QoS-Update-Success. The QoS policy takes effect.
4003: QoS-Update-Sq-Fail. Failed to process the queue in the QoS
policy.
4004: QoS-Update-CAR-Fail. Processing of the CAR in the QoS policy
fails.
4005: Statistic-Fail-No-Res. Statistics processing failed due to
insufficient statistics resources.
6.3. Event Message
The Event message is used to report subscriber session traffic
statistics and detection information. The format of the Event
message is as follows:
<Event Message> ::= <Common Header>
[<Subscriber Traffic Statistics Report TLV>]
[<Subscriber Detection Result Report TLV>]
6.4. Report Message
The Report message is used to report board and interface status on a
UP. The format of the Report message is as follows:
<Report Message> ::= <Common Header>
[<Board Status TLVs>]
[<Interface Status TLVs>]

message will be returned to the sender.
The format of the Vendor message is as follows:
<Vendor Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Vendor TLV>
[<any other TLVs as specified by the vendor>]
6.7. Error Message

<Error Message> ::= <Common Header>
<Error Information TLV>
7. S-CUSP TLVs and Sub-TLVs
This section specifies the following:
* The format of the TLVs that appear in S-CUSP messages,
* The format of the sub-TLVs that appear within the values of some
TLVs, and
* The format of some basic data fields that appear within TLVs or
sub-TLVs.
See Section 8 for a list of all defined TLVs and sub-TLVs.
7.1. Common TLV Header
S-CUSP messages consist of the common header specified in Section 6.1
followed by TLVs formatted as specified in this section.
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

| Oper | TLV-Type | TLV-Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ Value ~
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 32: Common TLV Header
Oper (4 bits): For Message-Types that specify an operation on a data
set, the Oper field is interpreted as Update, Delete, or Reserved
as specified in Section 8.3. For all other Message-Types, the
Oper field MUST be sent as zero and ignored on receipt.
TLV-Type (12 bits): The type of a TLV. TLV-Type specifies the
interpretation and format of the Value field of the TLV. See
Section 8.2.
TLV-Length (2 bytes): The length of the Value portion of the TLV in
bytes as an unsigned integer.
Value (variable length): This is the portion of the TLV whose size
is given by TLV-Length. It consists of fields, frequently using
one of the basic data field types (see Section 7.2) and sub-TLVs
(see Section 7.3).
7.2. Basic Data Fields
This section specifies the binary format of several standard basic
data fields that are used within other data structures in this
specification.
STRING: 0 to 255 octets. Will be encoded as a sub-TLV (see
Section 7.3) to provide the length. The use of this data type in
S-CUSP is to provide convenient labels for use by network
operators in configuring and debugging their networks and
interpreting S-CUSP messages. Subscribers will not normally see
these labels. They are normally interpreted as ASCII [RFC20].
MAC-Addr: 6 octets. Ethernet MAC address [RFC7042].
IPv4-Address: 8 octets. 4 octets of the IPv4 address value followed
by a 4-octet address mask in the format XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.
IPv6-Address: 20 octets. 16 octets of the IPv6 address followed by a
4-octet integer n in the range of 0 to 128, which gives the
address mask as the one's complement of 2**(128-n) - 1.
VLAN ID: 2 octets. As follows [802.1Q]:
0 1
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| PRI |D| VLAN-ID |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
PRI: Priority. Default value 7.
D: Drop Eligibility Indicator (DEI). Default value 0.
VLAN-ID: Unsigned integer in the range 1-4094. (0 and 4095 are
not valid VLAN IDs [802.1Q].)
7.3. Sub-TLV Format and Sub-TLVs
In some cases, the Value portion of a TLV, as specified in
Section 7.1, can contain one or more sub-TLVs formatted as follows:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Type | Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Value |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-...
Figure 33: Sub-TLV Header
Type (2 bytes): The type of a sub-TLV. The Type field specifies the
interpretation and format of the Value field of the TLV. Sub-TLV
type values have the same meaning regardless of the TLV type of
the TLV within which the sub-TLV occurs. See Section 8.4.
Length (2 bytes): The length of the Value portion of the sub-TLV in
bytes as an unsigned integer.
Value (variable length): This is the Value portion of the sub-TLV
whose size is given by Length.
The sub-TLVs currently specified are defined in the following
subsections.
7.3.1. Name Sub-TLVs
This document defines the following name sub-TLVs that are used to
carry the name of the corresponding object. The length of each of
these sub-TLVs is variable from 1 to 255 octets. The value is of

Address and carries an IPv6 address and length.
7.3.6. Vendor Sub-TLV
The Vendor sub-TLV is intended to be used inside the Value portion of
the Vendor TLV (Section 7.13). It provides a Sub-Type that
effectively extends the sub-TLV type in the sub-TLV header and
provides for versioning of Vendor sub-TLVs.
The value part of the Vendor sub-TLV is formatted as follows:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

| Sub-Type | Sub-Type-Version |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ Value (other as specified by vendor) ~
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 38: Vendor Sub-TLV
Where:
Sub-TLV type: 13.
Sub-TLV length: Variable.
Vendor-ID (4 bytes): Vendor ID as defined in RADIUS [RFC2865].
Sub-Type (2 bytes): Used by the vendor to distinguish multiple
different sub-TLVs.
Sub-Type-Version (2 bytes): Used by the vendor to distinguish
different versions of a vendor-defined sub-TLV Sub-Type.
Value: As specified by the vendor.
Since vendor code will be handling the sub-TLV after the Vendor-ID
field is recognized, the remainder of the sub-TLV can be organized
however the vendor wants. But it desirable for a vendor to be able
to define multiple different Vendor sub-TLVs and to keep track of
different versions of its vendor-defined sub-TLVs. Thus, it is
RECOMMENDED that the vendor assign a Sub-Type value for each of that
vendor's sub-TLVs that is different from other Sub-Type values that
vendor has used. Also, when modifying a vendor-defined sub-TLV in a
way potentially incompatible with a previous definition, the vendor
SHOULD increase the value it is using in the Sub-Type-Version field.
7.4. Hello TLV
The Hello TLV is defined to be carried in the Hello message for
version and capabilities negotiation. It indicates the S-CUSP sub-
version and capabilities supported. The format of the value part of
the Hello TLV is as follows:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| VerSupported |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Vendor-ID |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Capabilities |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 39: Hello TLV
Where:
TLV type: 100.
TLV length: 12 octets.
VerSupported: 32 bits in length. It is a bit map of the Sub-
Versions of S-CUSP that the sender supports. This document
specifies Sub-Version zero of Major Version 1, that is, Version
1.0. The VerSupported field MUST be nonzero. The VerSupported
bits are numbered from 0 as the most significant bit. Bit 0
indicates support of Sub-Version zero, bit 1 indicates support
of Sub-Version one, etc.
Vendor-ID: 4 bytes in length. Vendor ID, as defined in RADIUS
[RFC2865].
Capabilities: 32 bits in length. Flags that indicate the support
of particular capabilities by the sender of the Hello. No
capabilities are defined in this document, so implementations
of the version specified herein will set this field to zero.
The Capabilities field of the Hello TLV MUST be checked before
any other TLVs in the Hello because capabilities defined in the
future might extend existing TLVs or permit new TLVs.
After the exchange of Hello messages, the CP and UP each perform a
logical AND of the Sub-Version supported by the CP and the UP and
separately perform a logical AND of the Capabilities field for the CP
and the UP.
If the result of the AND of the Sub-Versions supported is zero, then
no session can be established, and the connection is torn down. If
the result of the AND of the Sub-Versions supported is nonzero, then
the session uses the highest Sub-Version supported by both the CP and
UP.
For example, if one side supports Sub-Versions 1, 3, 4, and 5
(VerSupported = 0x5C000000) and the other side supports 2, 3, and 4
(VerSupported = 0x38000000), then 3 and 4 are the Sub-Versions in
common, and 4 is the highest Sub-Version supported by both sides. So
Sub-Version 4 is used for the session that has been negotiated.
The result of the logical AND of the Capabilities bits will show what
additional capabilities both sides support. If this result is zero,
there are no such capabilities, so none can be used during the
session. If this result is nonzero, it shows the additional
capabilities that can be used during the session. The CP and the UP
MUST NOT use a capability unless both advertise support.
7.5. Keepalive TLV
The Keepalive TLV is carried in the Hello message. It provides
timing information for this feature. The format of the value part of
the Keepalive TLV is as follows:
0 1 2 3

Keepalive (8 bits): Indicates the maximum interval (in seconds)
between two consecutive S-CUSP messages sent by the sender of
the message containing this TLV as an unsigned integer. The
minimum value for the Keepalive field is 1 second. When set to
0, once the session is established, no further Keepalive
messages are sent to the remote peer. A RECOMMENDED value for
the Keepalive frequency is 30 seconds.
DeadTimer (8 bits in length): Specifies the amount of time as an
unsigned integer number of seconds, after the expiration of
which, the S-CUSP peer can declare the session with the sender
of the Hello message to be down if no S-CUSP message has been
received. The DeadTimer SHOULD be set to 0 and MUST be ignored
if the Keepalive is set to 0. A RECOMMENDED value for the
DeadTimer is 4 times the value of the Keepalive.
Reserved: The Reserved bits MUST be sent as zero and ignored on
receipt.

7.8. Routing TLVs
Typically, after an S-CUSP session is established between a UP and a
CP, the CP will allocate one or more blocks of IP addresses to the
UP. Those IP addresses will be allocated to subscribers who will
dial-up (as defined in Section 4.3.1) to the UP. To make sure that
other nodes within the network learn how to reach those IP addresses,
the CP needs to install one or more routes that can reach those IP
addresses on the UP and notify the UP to advertise the routes to the
network.
The Routing TLVs are used by a CP to notify a UP of the updates to
network routing information. They can be carried in the
Update_Request message and Sync_Data message.

different vendor messages.
Sub-Type-Version (2 bytes): Used by the vendor to distinguish
different versions of a vendor-defined message Sub-Type.
Sub-TLVs (variable): Sub-TLVs as specified by the vendor.
Since vendor code will be handling the TLV after the Vendor-ID field
is recognized, the remainder of the TLV values can be organized
however the vendor wants. But it is desirable for a vendor to be
able to define multiple different vendor messages and to keep track
of different versions of its vendor-defined messages. Thus, it is
RECOMMENDED that the vendor assign a Sub-Type value for each vendor
message that it defines different from other Sub-Type values that
vendor has used. Also, when modifying a vendor-defined message in a
way potentially incompatible with a previous definition, the vendor
SHOULD increase the value it is using in the Sub-Type-Version field.

9. IANA Considerations
This document has no IANA actions.
10. Security Considerations
The Service, Control, and Management Interfaces between the CP and UP
might be across the general Internet or other hostile environment.
The ability of an adversary to block or corrupt messages or introduce
spurious messages on any one or more of these interfaces would give
the adversary the ability to stop subscribers from accessing network
services, disrupt existing subscriber sessions, divert traffic, mess
up accounting statistics, and generally cause havoc. Damage would
not necessarily be limited to one or a few subscribers but could
disrupt routing or deny service to one or more instances of the CP or
otherwise cause extensive interference. If the adversary knows the
details of the UP equipment and its forwarding rule capabilities, the
adversary may be able to cause a copy of most or all user data to be
sent to an address of the adversary's choosing, thus enabling
eavesdropping.
Thus, appropriate protections MUST be implemented to provide
integrity, authenticity, and secrecy of traffic over those
interfaces. Whether such protection is used is the decision of the
network operator. See [RFC6241] for Mi/NETCONF security. Security
on the Si is dependent on the tunneling protocol used, which is out
of scope for this document. Security for the Ci, over which S-CUSP
flows, is further discussed below.
S-CUSP messages do not provide security. Thus, if these messages are
exchanged in an environment where security is a concern, that
security MUST be provided by another protocol such as TLS 1.3
[RFC8446] or IPsec. TLS 1.3 is the mandatory-to-implement protocol
for interoperability. The use of a particular security protocol on
the Ci is determined by configuration. Such security protocols need
not always be used, and lesser security precautions might be
appropriate because, in some cases, the communication between the CP
and UP is in a benign environment.
