1. Introduction
Source address validation in inter-domain networks (Inter-domain
SAVNET) is vital to mitigate source address spoofing between
Autonomous Systems (ASes). Inter-domain SAV is essential to the
Internet security [RFC5210]. Many efforts have been taken on the
tasks of inter-domain SAV.
Wu, et al. Expires 3 June 2023 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft Inter-domain SAVNET Problem Statement November 2022
Ingress filtering [RFC2827] [RFC3704] is a typical method of inter-
domain SAV. Strict uRPF [RFC3704] reversely looks up the FIB table
and requires that the valid incoming interface must be the same
interface which would be used to forward traffic to the source
address in the FIB table. Feasible-path uRPF (FP-uRPF) [RFC3704],
taking a looser SAV than strict uRPF, is designed to add more
alternative valid incoming interfaces for the source address. To be
more flexible about directionality, BCP 84 [RFC3704][RFC8704]
recommends that i) the loose uRPF method which loses directionality
completely SHOULD be applied on lateral peer and transit provider
interfaces, and that ii) the Enhanced FP-uRPF (EFP-uRPF) method with
Algorithm B, looser than strict uRPF, FP-uRPF, and EFP-uRPF with
Algorithm A, SHOULD be applied on customer interfaces. Routers
deploying EFP-uRPF accept a data packet from customer interfaces only
when the source address of the packet is contained in that of the
customer cone.
Despite the diversity of inter-domain SAV mechanisms, there are still
some points that are under considered but important for enhancing
Internet security. Moreover, in the currently focused SAV work
scope, these mechanisms may lead to improper permit or improper block
problems in some scenarios.
This document does an analysis of the existing inter-domain SAV
mechanisms and answers: i) what are the technical gaps, ii) what are
the major problems needing to be solved, and iii) what are the
potential directions for further enhancing inter-domain SAV.
2. Terminology
SAV: Source Address Validation, i.e., validating the authenticity of
a packet's source IP address.
SAV rule: The rule generated by intra-domain SAV mechanisms that
determines valid incoming interfaces for a specific source prefix.
SAV table: The data structure that stores SAV rules on the data
plane. The router queries its local SAV table to validate the
authenticity of source addresses.
Improper block: The packets with legitimate source IP addresses are
blocked improperly due to inaccurate SAV rules.
Improper permit: The packets with spoofed source IP addresses are
permitted improperly due to inaccurate SAV rules.

3. Gap Analysis
BCP 84 recommends loose uRPF at provider/peer interfaces and EFP-uRPF
at customer interfaces. The followings are the gap analysis of these
SAV mechanisms.
3.1. Improper Permit
Existing SAV mechanisms may have improper permit problems that the
packets with spoofed source addresses are considered as legal. Here
are two cases where improper permit will appear.
3.1.1. Spoofing from Provider and Peer
The first case is at provider or peer interfaces where loose uRPF is
deployed. Loose uRPF almost accepts any source address, which fails
to protect ASes in the customer cone from externally injected
attacks.

Figure 1: A reflection attack scenario
Figure 1 shows a reflection attack scenario. The arrow indicates the
direction of the commercial relationship between two ASes. AS 3 is
the provider of AS 4. AS 4 is the provider of AS 1 and AS 2. Assume
AS4 has deployed inter-domain SAV. EFP-uRPF is deployed at AS 4's
customer interfaces, and loose uRPF is implemented at AS 4's provider
interface. Assume a reflection attacker is attached to AS 3. It
sends packets spoofing source addresses of P1 to the server located
Wu, et al. Expires 3 June 2023 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Inter-domain SAVNET Problem Statement November 2022
in AS 2 for attacking the victim in AS 1. However, this attack
cannot be successfully blocked though AS 4 has deployed inter-domain
SAV.
3.1.2. Spoofing within a Customer Cone
The second case is at customer interfaces where EFP-uRPF with
algorithm B is deployed. It allows packets with source addresses of
the customer cone to enter from any customer interfaces to avoid
potential improper block problems that EFP-uRPF with algorithm A may
have. However, vulnerability is imported. Although EFP-uRPF with
algorithm B can prevent ASes inside the customer cone from using
source addresses of ASes outside the customer cone, it compromises
the directionality of traffic from different customers, which will
lead to improper permit problems.

+----------+ +----------+
P1' is the spoofed source prefix P1 by the attacker
which is attached to AS2
Figure 2: Spoofing within a customer cone
In Figure 2, assume AS 4 implements EFP-uRPF with algorithm B at
customer interfaces. Under EFP-uRPF with algorithm B, AS 4 will
generate SAV rules with legitimate P1 and P2 at both customer
interfaces. When the attacker in AS 2 spoofs source address of AS 1,
AS 4 will improperly permit these packets with spoofed source
addresses of prefix P1. The same also applies when the attacker in
AS 1 forges source prefix P2. That is to say, EFP-uRPF algorithm B
cannot prevent ASes inside the customer cone from spoofing each
other.

Internet-Draft Inter-domain SAVNET Problem Statement November 2022
3.2. Improper Block
In some cases, existing inter-domain SAV mechanisms may improperly
block the packets with legitimate source addresses. Here are two
cases where improper permit will appear.
3.2.1. NO_EXPORT in BGP Advertisement
Figure 3 presents a NO_EXPORT scenario. AS 1 is the common customer
of AS 2 and AS 3. AS 4 is the provider of AS 2. The relationship
between AS 3 and AS 4 is customer-to-provider (C2P) or peer-to-peer
(P2P). All arrows in Figure 2 represent BGP advertisements. AS 2
owns prefix P2 and advertises it to AS 4 through BGP. AS 3 also
advertises its own prefix P3 to AS 4. AS 1 has prefix P1 and
advertises the prefix to the providers, i.e., AS 2 and AS 3. After
receiving the route for prefix P1 from AS 1, AS 3 propagates this
route to AS 4. Differently, AS 2 does not propagate the route for
prefix P1 to AS 4, since AS 1 adds the NO_EXPORT community attribute
in the BGP advertisement destined to AS 2. In the end, AS 4 only
learns the route for prefix P1 from AS 3.
Assume that AS 3 is the customer of AS 4. If AS 4 runs EFP-uRPF with
algorithm A at customer interfaces, the packets with source addresses
of P1 are required to arrive only from AS 3. When AS 1 sends the
packets with legitimate source addresses of prefix P1 to AS 4 through
AS 2, AS 4 will improperly block these packets. EFP-uRPF with
algorithm B works well in this case.
Assume that AS 3 is the peer of AS 4. AS 4 will never learn the
route of P1 from its customer interfaces. So, no matter EFP-uRPF
with algorithm A or that with algorithm B are used by AS 4, there
will be improper block problems.
Besides the NO_EXPORT case above, there are also many route filtering
policies that can result in interruption of BGP advertisement.
Improper block may be induced by existing inter-domain SAV mechanisms
in such cases, and it is hard to prevent networks from taking these
configurations.

3.2.2. Direct Server Return (DSR) Scenario
Anycast is a network addressing and routing methodology. An anycast
IP address is shared by devices in multiple locations, and incoming
requests are routed to the location closest to the sender.
Therefore, anycast is widely used in Content Delivery Network (CDN)
to improve the quality of service by bringing the content to the user
as soon as possible. In practice, anycast IP addresses are usually
announced only from some locations with a lot of connectivity. Upon
receiving incoming requests from users, requests are then tunneled to
the edge locations where the content is. Subsequently, the edge
locations do direct server return (DSR), i.e., directly sending the
content to the users. To ensure that DSR works, servers in edge
locations must send response packets with anycast IP address as the
source address. However, since edge locations never advertise the
anycast prefixes through BGP, an intermediate AS with EFP-uRPF may
improperly block these response packets.

+----------+ +----------+
P3 is the anycast prefix and is only advertised from AS3
Figure 4: A Direct Server Return (DSR) scenario
Figure 4 shows a specific DSR scenario. The anycast IP prefix (i.e.,
prefix P3) is only advertised from AS 3 through BGP. Assume AS 3 is
the provider of AS 4. AS 4 is the provider of AS 1 and AS 2. When
users in AS 1 send requests to the anycast destination IP, the
forwarding path from users to anycast servers is AS 1 -> AS 4 -> AS
3. Anycast servers in AS 3 receive the requests and then tunnel them
to the edge servers in AS 2. Finally, the edge servers send the
content to the users with source addresses of prefix P3. The reverse
forwarding path is AS 2 -> AS 4 -> AS 1. Since AS 4 never receives
routing information for prefix P3 from AS 2, EFP-uRPF algorithm A/
EFP-uRPF algorithm B or other existing uRPF-like mechanisms at AS 4
will improperly block the response packets from AS 2.
3.3. Misaligned Incentive
Misaligned incentive is often cited as a major reason why some ASes
do not deploy BCP38 [RFC2827]. Specifically, BCP38 only prevents the
AS who deploys SAV from originating spoofed-source traffic, but does
not protect the AS from receiving spoofed-source traffic or being the
victim of source address spoofing attacks. As a result, the costs of
deploying SAV are paid by the AS itself, but the benefits are
experienced by the rest of the Internet.
Wu, et al. Expires 3 June 2023 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Inter-domain SAVNET Problem Statement November 2022
Compared with BCP38, the EFP-uRPF mechanism proposed in [RFC8704] can
protect the AS which deploys SAV from receiving spoofed-source
traffic from customer interfaces. However, the combination of EFP-
uRPF and loose uRPF validates upstream (i.e., the packets from
customers to providers) strictly but takes a loose validation for
downstream (i.e., the packets from providers/peers to customers). It
aims to prevent the customer cone from originating spoofed-source
traffic, but does not protect the customer cone from receiving
spoofed-source traffic or being the victim of attacks from ASes
outside the customer cone. Particularly, in the case of partial
deployment, even an AS as well as its provider deploy SAV following
the recommendations in [RFC8704], the AS may still suffer source
address spoofing attacks. For example, in the reflection attack
scenario in Figure 1, even if the victim network (i.e. AS1) and its
provider (i.e. AS4) deploy SAV, AS1 is still vulnerable to the
reflection attack from AS3, because it cannot help AS4 accurately
identify and reject the forged request from AS3. The victim network
in a reflection attack cannot gain additional protection even if it
has deployed existing SAV mechanisms.
Overall, the combination of EFP-uRPF and loose uRPF makes a
significant improvement upon BCP38, but it is still not well-aligned
with the direct incentive that protects the AS which deploys SAV from
being the victim of source address spoofing attacks (especially
reflection attacks). A detailed discussion about misaligned
incentive can be found in [draft-qin-savnet-incentive].
4. Problem Statement
4.1. Inaccurate Validation
Existing inter-domain SAV mechanisms have accuracy gaps in some
scenarios like routing asymmetry induced by BGP route policies or
configurations. Particularly, EFP-uRPF takes the RPF list in data-
plane, which means the packets from customer interfaces with unknown
source prefixes (not appear in the RPF list) will be discarded
directly. Improper block issues will arise when legitimate source
prefixes are not accurately learned by EFP-uRPF. The root cause is
that these mechanisms leverage local RIB table of routers to learn
the source addresses and determine the valid incoming interface,
which may not match the real data-plane forwarding path from the
source. It may mistakenly consider a valid incoming interface as
invalid, resulting in improper block problems; or consider an invalid
incoming interface as valid, resulting in improper permit problems.
Essentially, it is impossible to generate an accurate SAV table
solely based on the router's local information due to the existence
of asymmetric routes.
Wu, et al. Expires 3 June 2023 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Inter-domain SAVNET Problem Statement November 2022
4.2. Misaligned Incentive
Existing inter-domain SAV mechanisms pay more attention to upstream
(traffic from customer to provider/peer), resulting in weak source
address checking of downstream (traffic from provider/peer to
customer). The "strict upstream but weak downstream checking" makes
the benefits of deploying SAV mainly flow to ASes outside the
customer cone. Moreover, the victim is still vulnerable to
reflection attacks even when it has deployed existing inter-domain
SAV mechanisms, because the victim with SAV deployment does not
participate in protecting its source addresses from being forged.
5. Requirements
Inter-domain SAVNET focuses on narrowing the technical gaps of
existing inter-domain SAV mechanisms. The new inter-domain SAV
mechanism MUST satisfy the following requirements.
5.1. Accurate SAV
The new inter-domain SAV mechanism MUST ensure accurate SAV. It MUST
avoid the improper block problems of EFP-uRPF and minimize the
improper permit problems of existing inter-domain SAV mechanisms.
Generating SAV rules solely depending on local routing information
(e.g., RIB) results in inaccurate SAV in the case of asymmetric
routing. Accurate SAV requires that SAV rules MUST match real data-
plane paths. Therefore, to ensure the accuracy of SAV, extra
information out of local routing information is required as a
supplement.
5.2. Direct Incentive
The new inter-domain SAV mechanism MUST provide direct incentives.
It would be attractive if the network who deploys SAV can protect
itself from source address spoofing attacks (especially reflection
attacks). In particular, the mechanism MUST work for both upstream
and downstream traffic, and downstream SHOULD be under the same SAV
criteria as upstream. It would be easy to achieve perfect all-round
protection supposing SAV is fully deployed. But when some ASes do
not deploy SAV, efforts are needed to narrow the gaps as much as
possible.
Wu, et al. Expires 3 June 2023 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Inter-domain SAVNET Problem Statement November 2022
5.3. Working in Partial Deployment
The new inter-domain SAV mechanism MUST provide protection for source
addresses even the mechanism is partially deployed. It is
impractical to ensure that all the ASes or most of the ASes enable
SAV simultaneously. Partial deployment or incremental deployment
have to be considered during the work of SAV.
5.4. Acceptable Overhead
The new inter-domain SAV mechanism MUST not modify data-plane
packets, which keeps same as existing inter-domain SAV mechanisms.
Existing architectures or protocols or mechanisms can be used in the
new SAV mechanism to achieve better SAV function.
6. Inter-domain SAVNET Scope
The new inter-domain SAV mechanism should work in the same scenarios
as existing inter-domain SAV mechanisms. Generally, it includes all
IP-encapsulated scenarios:
* Native IP forwarding: including both global routing table
forwarding and CE site forwarding of VPN;
* IP-encapsulated Tunnel (IPsec, GRE, SRv6, etc.): focusing on the
validation of the outer layer IP address;
* Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses
Scope does not include:
* Non-IP packets: including MPLS label-based forwarding and other
non-IP-based forwarding.
7. Security Considerations
SAV rules can be generated based on route information (FIB/RIB) or
non-route information. If the information is poisoned by attackers,
the SAV rules will be false. Lots of legal packets may be dropped
improperly or malicious traffic with spoofed source addresses may be
permitted improperly. Route security should be considered by routing
protocols. Non-route information should also be protected by
corresponding mechanisms or infrastructure. If SAV mechanisms or
protocols require information exchange, there should be some
considerations on the avoidance of message alteration or message
injection.

The SAV procedure referred in this document modifies no field of
packets. So, security considerations on data-plane is not in the
scope of this document.
