Distributed Denial-of-Service Open Threat Signaling (DOTS) Telemetry
draft-ietf-dots-telemetry-01
Abstract
This document aims to enrich DOTS signal channel protocol with
various telemetry attributes allowing optimal DDoS attack mitigation.
This document specifies the normal traffic baseline and attack
traffic telemetry attributes a DOTS client can convey to its DOTS
server in the mitigation request, the mitigation status telemetry
attributes a DOTS server can communicate to a DOTS client, and the
mitigation efficacy telemetry attributes a DOTS client can
communicate to a DOTS server. The telemetry attributes can assist
the mitigator to choose the DDoS mitigation techniques and perform
optimal DDoS attack mitigation.

1. Introduction
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have become more vicious
and sophisticated in almost all aspects of their maneuvers and
malevolent intentions. IT organizations and service providers are
facing DDoS attacks that fall into two broad categories: Network/
Transport layer attacks and Application layer attacks:
o Network/Transport layer attacks target the victim's
infrastructure. These attacks are not necessarily aimed at taking
down the actual delivered services, but rather to eliminate
various network elements (routers, switches, firewalls, transit
links, and so on) from serving legitimate user traffic.
The main method of such attacks is to send a large volume or high
PPS of traffic toward the victim's infrastructure. Typically,
attack volumes may vary from a few 100 Mbps/PPS to 100s of Gbps or
even Tbps. Attacks are commonly carried out leveraging botnets
and attack reflectors for amplification attacks such as NTP

Internet-Draft DOTS Telemetry January 2020
(Network Time Protocol), DNS (Domain Name System), SNMP (Simple
Network Management Protocol), or SSDP (Simple Service Discovery
Protoco).
o Application layer attacks target various applications. Typical
examples include attacks against HTTP/HTTPS, DNS, SIP (Session
Initiation Protocol), or SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol).
However, all valid applications with their port numbers open at
network edges can be attractive attack targets.
Application layer attacks are considered more complex and hard to
categorize, therefore harder to detect and mitigate efficiently.
To compound the problem, attackers also leverage multi-vectored
attacks. These attacks are assembled from dynamic attack vectors
(Network/Application) and tactics. As such, multiple attack vectors
formed by multiple attack types and volumes are launched
simultaneously towards a victim. Multi-vector attacks are harder to
detect and defend. Multiple and simultaneous mitigation techniques
are needed to defeat such attack campaigns. It is also common for
attackers to change attack vectors right after a successful
mitigation, burdening their opponents with changing their defense
methods.
The ultimate conclusion derived from these real scenarios is that
modern attacks detection and mitigation are most certainly
complicated and highly convoluted tasks. They demand a comprehensive
knowledge of the attack attributes, the targeted normal behavior/
traffic patterns, as well as the attacker's on-going and past
actions. Even more challenging, retrieving all the analytics needed
for detecting these attacks is not simple to obtain with the
industry's current capabilities.
The DOTS signal channel protocol [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel] is
used to carry information about a network resource or a network (or a
part thereof) that is under a DDoS attack. Such information is sent
by a DOTS client to one or multiple DOTS servers so that appropriate
mitigation actions are undertaken on traffic deemed suspicious.
Various use cases are discussed in [I-D.ietf-dots-use-cases].
Typically, DOTS clients can be integrated within a DDoS attack
detector, or network and security elements that have been actively
engaged with ongoing attacks. The DOTS client mitigation environment
determines that it is no longer possible or practical for it to
handle these attacks. This can be due to lack of resources or
security capabilities, as derived from the complexities and the
intensity of these attacks. In this circumstance, the DOTS client
has invaluable knowledge about the actual attacks that need to be
Boucadair, et al. Expires August 3, 2020 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft DOTS Telemetry January 2020
handled by the DOTS server. By enabling the DOTS client to share
this comprehensive knowledge of an ongoing attack under specific
circumstances, the DOTS server can drastically increase its abilities
to accomplish successful mitigation. While the attack is being
handled by the DOTS server associated mitigation resources, the DOTS
server has the knowledge about the ongoing attack mitigation. The
DOTS server can share this information with the DOTS client so that
the client can better assess and evaluate the actual mitigation
realized.
In some deployments, DOTS clients can send mitigation hints derived
from attack details to DOTS servers, with the full understanding that
the DOTS server may ignore mitigation hints, as described in
[RFC8612] (Gen-004). Mitigation hints will be transmitted across the
DOTS signal channel, as the data channel may not be functional during
an attack. How a DOTS server is handling normal and attack traffic
attributes, and mitigation hints is implementation-specific.
Both DOTS client and server can benefit this information by
presenting various information in relevant management, reporting, and
portal systems.
This document defines DOTS telemetry attributes the DOTS client can
convey to the DOTS server, and vice versa. The DOTS telemetry
attributes are not mandatory fields. Nevertheless, when DOTS
telemetry attributes are available to a DOTS agent, and absent any
policy, it can signal the attributes in order to optimize the overall
mitigation service provisioned using DOTS. Some of the DOTS
telemetry data is not shared during an attack time.
2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119][RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
The reader should be familiar with the terms defined in [RFC8612].
"DOTS Telemetry" is defined as the collection of attributes that are
used to characterize normal traffic baseline, attacks and their
mitigation measures, and any related information that may help in
enforcing countermeasures. The DOTS Telemetry is an optional set of
attributes that can be signaled in the DOTS signal channel protocol.
The meaning of the symbols in YANG tree diagrams is defined in
[RFC8340].

3. DOTS Telemetry: Overview and Purpose
When signaling a mitigation request, it is most certainly beneficial
for the DOTS client to signal to the DOTS server any knowledge
regarding ongoing attacks. This can happen in cases where DOTS
clients are asking the DOTS server for support in defending against
attacks that they have already detected and/or mitigated. These
actions taken by DOTS clients are referred to as "signaling the DOTS
Telemetry".
If attacks are already detected and categorized by the DOTS client
domain, the DOTS server, and its associated mitigation services, can
proactively benefit this information and optimize the overall service
delivered. It is important to note that DOTS client and server
detection and mitigation approaches can be different, and can
potentially outcome different results and attack classifications.
The DDoS mitigation service treats the ongoing attack details from
the client as hints and cannot completely rely or trust the attack
details conveyed by the DOTS client.
A basic requirement of security operation teams is to be aware and
get visibility into the attacks they need to handle. The DOTS server
security operation teams benefit from the DOTS telemetry, especially
from the reports of ongoing attacks. Even if some mitigation can be
automated, operational teams can use the DOTS telemetry to be
prepared for attack mitigation and to assign the correct resources
(operation staff, networking and mitigation) for the specific
service. Similarly, security operation personnel at the DOTS client
side ask for feedback about their requests for protection.
Therefore, it is valuable for the DOTS server to share DOTS telemetry
with the DOTS client.
Thus mutual sharing of information is crucial for "closing the
mitigation loop" between the DOTS client and server. For the server
side team, it is important to realize that the same attacks that the
DOTS server's mitigation resources are seeing are those that the DOTS
client is asking to mitigate. For the DOTS client side team, it is
important to realize that the DOTS clients receive the required
service. For example: understanding that "I asked for mitigation of
two attacks and my DOTS server detects and mitigates only one...".
Cases of inconsistency in attack classification between DOTS client
and server can be high-lighted, and maybe handled, using the DOTS
telemetry attributes.
In addition, management and orchestration systems, at both DOTS
client and server sides, can potentially use DOTS telemetry as a
feedback to automate various control and management activities
derived from ongoing information signaled.
Boucadair, et al. Expires August 3, 2020 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft DOTS Telemetry January 2020
If the DOTS server's mitigation resources have the capabilities to
facilitate the DOTS telemetry, the DOTS server adopts its protection
strategy and activates the required countermeasures immediately
(automation enabled). The overall results of this adoption are
optimized attack mitigation decisions and actions.
The DOTS telemetry can also be used to tune the DDoS mitigators with
the correct state of the attack. During the last few years, DDoS
attack detection technologies have evolved from threshold-based
detection (that is, cases when all or specific parts of traffic cross
a pre-defined threshold for a certain period of time is considered as
an attack) to an "anomaly detection" approach. In anomaly detection,
the main idea is to maintain rigorous learning of "normal" behavior
and where an "anomaly" (or an attack) is identified and categorized
based on the knowledge about the normal behavior and a deviation from
this normal behavior. Machine learning approaches are used such that
the actual "traffic thresholds" are "automatically calculated" by
learning the protected entity normal traffic behavior during peace
time. The normal traffic characterization learned is referred to as
the "normal traffic baseline". An attack is detected when the
victim's actual traffic is deviating from this normal baseline.
In addition, subsequent activities toward mitigating an attack are
much more challenging. The ability to distinguish legitimate traffic
from attacker traffic on a per packet basis is complex. This
complexity originates from the fact that the packet itself may look
"legitimate" and no attack signature can be identified. The anomaly
can be identified only after detailed statistical analysis. DDoS
attack mitigators use the normal baseline during the mitigation of an
attack to identify and categorize the expected appearance of a
specific traffic pattern. Particularly the mitigators use the normal
baseline to recognize the "level of normality" needs to be achieved
during the various mitigation process.
Normal baseline calculation is performed based on continuous learning
of the normal behavior of the protected entities. The minimum
learning period varies from hours to days and even weeks, depending
on the protected application behavior. The baseline cannot be
learned during active attacks because attack conditions do not
characterize the protected entities' normal behavior.
If the DOTS client has calculated the normal baseline of its
protected entities, signaling this attribute to the DOTS server along
with the attack traffic levels is significantly valuable. The DOTS
server benefits from this telemetry by tuning its mitigation
resources with the DOTS client's normal baseline. The DOTS server
mitigators use the baseline to familiarize themselves with the attack
victim's normal behavior and target the baseline as the level of
Boucadair, et al. Expires August 3, 2020 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft DOTS Telemetry January 2020
normality they need to achieve. Consequently, the overall mitigation
performances obtained are dramatically improved in terms of time to
mitigate, accuracy, false-negative, false-positive, and other
measures.
Mitigation of attacks without having certain knowledge of normal
traffic can be inaccurate at best. This is especially true for
recursive signaling (see Section 3.2.3 in [I-D.ietf-dots-use-cases]).
In addition, the highly diverse types of use-cases where DOTS clients
are integrated also emphasize the need for knowledge of client
behavior. Consequently, common global thresholds for attack
detection practically cannot be realized. Each DOTS client can have
its own levels of traffic and normal behavior. Without facilitating
normal baseline signaling, it may be very difficult for DOTS servers
in some cases to detect and mitigate the attacks accurately:
It is important to emphasize that it is practically impossible for
the server's mitigators to calculate the normal baseline, in cases
they do not have any knowledge of the traffic beforehand.
In addition, baseline learning requires a period of time that
cannot be afforded during active attack.
Of course, this information can provided using out-of-band
mechanisms or manual configuration at the risk to maintain
inaccurate information as the network evolves and "normal"
patterns change. The use of a dynamic and collaborative means
between the DOTS client and server to identify and share key
parameters for the sake of efficient DDoS protect is valuable.
During a high volume attack, DOTS client pipes can be totally
saturated. The DOTS client asks the DOTS server to handle the attack
upstream so that DOTS client pipes return to a reasonable load level
(normal pattern, ideally). At this point, it is essential to ensure
that the mitigator does not overwhelm the DOTS client pipes by
sending back "clean traffic", or what it believes is "clean". This
can happen when the mitigator has not managed to detect and mitigate
all the attacks launched towards the client. In this case, it can be
valuable to clients to signal to server the "Total pipe capacity",
which is the level of traffic the DOTS client domain can absorb from
the upstream network. Dynamic updating of the condition of pipes
between DOTS agents while they are under a DDoS attack is essential.
For example, for cases of multiple DOTS clients share the same
physical connectivity pipes. It is important to note, that the term
"pipe" noted here does not necessary represent physical pipe, but
rather represents the current level of traffic client can observe
from server. The server should activate other mechanisms to ensure
it does not saturate the client's pipes unintentionally. The rate-
Boucadair, et al. Expires August 3, 2020 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft DOTS Telemetry January 2020
limit action defined in [I-D.ietf-dots-data-channel] is a reasonable
candidate to achieve this objective; the client can ask for the type
of traffic (such as ICMP, UDP, TCP port number 80) it prefers to
limit. The rate-limit action can be controlled via the signal-
channel [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-filter-control] even when the pipe is
overwhelmed.
To summarize:
Timely and effective signaling of up-to-date DOTS telemetry to all
elements involved in the mitigation process is essential and
absolutely improves the overall service effectiveness. Bi-
directional feedback between DOTS agents is required for the
increased awareness of each party, supporting superior and highly
efficient attack mitigation service.
4. Generic Considerations
4.1. DOTS Client Identification
Following the rules in [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel], a unique
identifier is generated by a DOTS client to prevent request
collisions.
4.2. DOTS Gateways
DOTS gateways may be located between DOTS clients and servers. The
considerations elaborated in [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel] must be
followed. In particular, 'cdid' attribute is used to unambiguously
identify a DOTS client domain.
4.3. Empty URI Paths
Uri-Path parameters with empty values MUST NOT be present in DOTS
telemetry requests.
4.4. Controlling Configuration Data
The DOTS server follows the same considerations discussed in
Section of 4.5.3 of [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel] for managing DOTS
telemetry configuration freshness and notification. Likewise, a DOTS
client may control the selection of configuration and non-
configuration data nodes when sending a GET request by means of the
'c' Uri-Query option and following the procedure specified in
Section of 4.4.2 of [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel]. These
considerations are not re-iterated in the following sections.
Boucadair, et al. Expires August 3, 2020 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft DOTS Telemetry January 2020
4.5. Block-wise Transfer
DOTS clients can use Block-wise transfer [RFC7959] with the
recommendation detailed in Section 4.4.2 of
[I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel] to control the size of a response when
the data to be returned does not fit within a single datagram.
DOTS clients can also use Block1 Option in a PUT request (see
Section 2.5 of [RFC7959]).
o NOTE: Add more details.
4.6. YANG Considerations
Messages exchanged between DOTS agents are serialized using Concise
Binary Object Representation (CBOR). CBOR-encoded payloads are used
to carry signal channel-specific payload messages which convey
request parameters and response information such as errors
[I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel].
This document specifies a YANG module for representing DOTS telemetry
message types (Section 9). All parameters in the payload of the DOTS
signal channel are mapped to CBOR types as specified in Section 10.
4.7. A Note About Examples
Examples are provided for illustration purposes. The document does
not aim to provide a comprehensive list of message examples.
The authoritative reference for validating telemetry messages is the
YANG module (Section 9) and the mapping table established in
Section 10.
5. Telemetry Operation Paths
As discussed in [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel], each DOTS operation
is indicated by a path-suffix that indicates the intended operation.
The operation path is appended to the path-prefix to form the URI
used with a CoAP request to perform the desired DOTS operation. The
following telemetry path-suffixes are defined (Table 1):

Table 1: DOTS Telemetry Operations
Consequently, the "ietf-dots-telemetry" YANG module defined in this
document augments the "ietf-dots-signal" with two new message types
called "telemetry-setup" and "telemetry". The tree structure of the
"telemetry-setup" message type is shown below (more details are
provided in the following sections about the exact structure of
"telemetry-setup" and "telemetry" message types).

Figure 1: New DOTS Message Types (YANG Tree Structure)
6. DOTS Telemetry Setup and Configuration
In reference to Figure 1, a DOTS telemetry setup message MUST include
only telemetry-related configuration parameters (Section 6.1) or
information about DOTS client domain pipe capacity (Section 6.2) or
telemetry traffic baseline (Section 6.3). As such, requests that
include a mix of telemetry configuration, pipe capacity, or traffic
baseline MUST be rejected by DOTS servers with a 4.00 (Bad Request).
A DOTS client can reset all installed DOTS telemetry setup and
configuration data following the considerations detailed in
Section 6.4.
A DOTS server may detect conflicts when processing requests related
to DOTS client domain pipe capacity or telemetry traffic baseline
Boucadair, et al. Expires August 3, 2020 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft DOTS Telemetry January 2020
with requests from other DOTS clients of the same DOTS client domain.
More details are included in Section 6.5.
DOTS telemetry setup and configuration request and response messages
are marked as Confirmable messages.
6.1. Telemetry Configuration
A DOTS client can negotiate with its server(s) a set of telemetry
configuration parameters to be used for telemetry. Such parameters
include:
o Percentile-related measurement parameters
o Measurement units
o Acceptable percentile values
o Telemetry notification interval
o Acceptable Server-initiated pre-mitigation telemetry
Section 11.3 of [RFC2330] includes more details about computing
percentiles.
6.1.1. Retrieve Current DOTS Telemetry Configuration
A GET request is used to obtain acceptable and current telemetry
configuration parameters on the DOTS server. This request may
include a 'cdid' Path-URI when the request is relayed by a DOTS
gateway. An example of such request is depicted in Figure 2.
Header: GET (Code=0.01)
Uri-Path: ".well-known"
Uri-Path: "dots"
Uri-Path: "tm-setup"
Uri-Path: "cuid=dz6pHjaADkaFTbjr0JGBpw"
Figure 2: GET to Retrieve Current and Acceptable DOTS Telemetry
Configuration
Upon receipt of such request, the DOTS server replies with a 2.05
(Content) response that conveys the current and telemetry parameters
acceptable by the DOTS server. The tree structure of the response
message body is provided in Figure 3. Note that the response
includes also any pipe (Section 6.2) and baseline information
(Section 6.3) maintained by the DOTS server for this DOTS client.

Internet-Draft DOTS Telemetry January 2020
DOTS servers that support the capability of sending pre-mitigation
telemetry information to DOTS clients (Section 8) sets 'server-
initiated-telemetry' under 'max-config-values' to 'true' ('false' is
used otherwise). If 'server-initiated-telemetry' is not present in a
response, this is equivalent to receiving a request with 'server-
initiated-telemetry'' set to 'false'.

6.1.2. Convey DOTS Telemetry Configuration
PUT request is used to convey the configuration parameters for the
telemetry data (e.g., low, mid, or high percentile values). For
example, a DOTS client may contact its DOTS server to change the
default percentile values used as baseline for telemetry data.
Figure 3 lists the attributes that can be set by a DOTS client in
such PUT request. An example of a DOTS client that modifies all
percentile reference values is shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4: PUT to Convey the DOTS Telemetry Configuration
'cuid' is a mandatory Uri-Path parameter for PUT requests.
The following additional Uri-Path parameter is defined:
tsid: Telemetry Setup Identifier is an identifier for the DOTS
telemetry setup and configuration data represented as an
integer. This identifier MUST be generated by DOTS clients.
'tsid' values MUST increase monotonically (when a new PUT is
generated by a DOTS client to convey new configuration
parameters for the telemetry).
This is a mandatory attribute.
Boucadair, et al. Expires August 3, 2020 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft DOTS Telemetry January 2020
At least one configurable attribute MUST be present in the PUT
request.
Attributes and Uri-Path parameters with empty values MUST NOT be
present in a request and render the entire request invalid.
The PUT request with a higher numeric 'tsid' value overrides the DOTS
telemetry configuration data installed by a PUT request with a lower
numeric 'tsid' value. To avoid maintaining a long list of 'tsid'
requests for requests carrying telemetry configuration data from a
DOTS client, the lower numeric 'tsid' MUST be automatically deleted
and no longer available at the DOTS server.
The DOTS server indicates the result of processing the PUT request
using the following response codes:
o If the request is missing a mandatory attribute, does not include
'cuid' or 'tsid' Uri-Path parameters, or contains one or more
invalid or unknown parameters, 4.00 (Bad Request) MUST be returned
in the response.
o If the DOTS server does not find the 'tsid' parameter value
conveyed in the PUT request in its configuration data and if the
DOTS server has accepted the configuration parameters, then a
response code 2.01 (Created) MUST be returned in the response.
o If the DOTS server finds the 'tsid' parameter value conveyed in
the PUT request in its configuration data and if the DOTS server
has accepted the updated configuration parameters, 2.04 (Changed)
MUST be returned in the response.
o If any of the enclosed configurable attribute values are not
acceptable to the DOTS server (Section 6.1.1), 4.22 (Unprocessable
Entity) MUST be returned in the response.
The DOTS client may re-try and send the PUT request with updated
attribute values acceptable to the DOTS server.
Setting 'low-percentile' to '0.00' indicates that the DOTS client is
not interested in receiving low-percentiles. Likewise, setting 'mid-
percentile' (or 'high-percentile') to the same value as 'low-
percentile' (or 'mid-percentile') indicates that the DOTS client is
not interested in receiving mid-percentiles (or high-percentiles).
For example, a DOTS client can send the request depicted in Figure 5
to inform the server that it is interested in receiving only high-
percentiles. This assumes that the client will only use that
percentile type when sharing telemetry data with the server.

o Note 1: Consider adding examples where signaling link aggregates
is sufficient.?
o Note 2: Which target prefix to communicate in the baseline/pipe
depends on the location of the DOTS server. For example, if both
upstream networks exposes a DOTS server; only information related
to prefixes assigned by that upstream network to the DOTS client
domain will be signalled. Consider adding a reference to the DOTS
Multihoming draft.
6.1.3. Retrieve Installed DOTS Telemetry Configuration
A DOTS client may issue a GET message with 'tsid' Uri-Path parameter
to retrieve the current DOTS telemetry configuration. An example of
such request is depicted in Figure 7.

If the DOTS server does not find the 'tsid' Uri-Path value conveyed
in the GET request in its configuration data for the requesting DOTS
client, it MUST respond with a 4.04 (Not Found) error response code.
6.1.4. Delete DOTS Telemetry Configuration
A DELETE request is used to delete the installed DOTS telemetry
configuration data (Figure 8). 'cuid' and 'tsid' are mandatory Uri-
Path parameters for such DELETE requests.
Header: DELETE (Code=0.04)
Uri-Path: ".well-known"
Uri-Path: "dots"
Uri-Path: "tm-setup"
Uri-Path: "cuid=dz6pHjaADkaFTbjr0JGBpw"
Uri-Path: "tsid=123"
Figure 8: Delete Telemetry Configuration
If the DELETE request does not include 'cuid' and 'tsid' parameters,
the DOTS server MUST reply with a 4.00 (Bad Request).
The DOTS server resets the DOTS telemetry configuration back to the
default values and acknowledges a DOTS client's request to remove the
DOTS telemetry configuration using 2.02 (Deleted) response code. A
2.02 (Deleted) Response Code is returned even if the 'tsid' parameter
value conveyed in the DELETE request does not exist in its
configuration data before the request.
6.2. Total Pipe Capacity
A DOTS client can communicate to its server(s) its DOTS client domain
pipe information. The tree structure of the pipe information is
shown in Figure 9.

Figure 9: Pipe Tree Structure
A DOTS client domain pipe is defined as a list of limits of
(incoming) traffic volume (total-pipe-capacity") that can be
forwarded over ingress interconnection links fo a DOTS client domain.
Each of these links is identified with a "link-id" [RFC8345].
This limit can be expressed in packets per second (PPS) or kilo
packets per second (Kpps) and Bits per Second (BPS), and in kilobytes
per second or megabytes per second or gigabytes per second. The unit
used by a DOTS client when conveying pipe information is captured in
"unit" attribute.
6.2.1. Convey DOTS Client Domain Pipe Capacity
Similar considerations to those specified in Section 6.1.2 are
followed with one exception:
The relative order of two PUT requests carrying DOTS client domain
pipe attributes from a DOTS client is determined by comparing
their respective 'tsid' values. If such two requests have
overlapping "link-id" and "unit", the PUT request with higher
numeric 'tsid' value will override the request with a lower
numeric 'tsid' value. The overlapped lower numeric 'tsid' MUST be
automatically deleted and no longer.
Boucadair, et al. Expires August 3, 2020 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft DOTS Telemetry January 2020
DOTS clients SHOULD minimize the number of active "tsids" used for
pipe information. Typically, in order to avoid maintaining a long
list of "tsids" for pipe information, it is RECOMMENDED that DOTS
clients include in a request to update information related to a given
link, the information of other links (already communicated using a
lower 'tsid' value). Doing so, this update request will override
these existing requests and hence optimize the number of 'tsid"
request per DOTS client.
o Note: This assumes that all link information can fit in one single
message.
For example, a DOTS client managing a single homed domain (Figure 10)
can send a PUT request (shown in Figure 11) to communicate the
capacity of "link1" used to connected its ISP.

Now consider that the DOTS client domain was upgraded to connect to
an additional ISP (ISP#B of Figure 12), the DOTS client can inform
the DOTS server about this update by sending the PUT request depicted
in Figure 13. This request includes also information related to
"link1" even if that link is not upgraded. Upon receipt of this
request, the DOTS server removes the request with "tsid=457" and
updates its configuration base to maintain two links (link#1 and
link#2).

A DOTS client can delete a link by sending a PUT request with the
capacity" attribute set to "0" if other links are still active for
the same DOTS client domain (see Section 6.2.3 for other delete
cases). For example, if a DOTS client domain re-homes (that is, it
changes it ISP), the DOTS client can inform the DOTS server about
this update (e.g., from the network configuration in Figure 10 to the
one shown in Figure 14) by sending the PUT request depicted in
Figure 15. Upon receipt of this request, the DOTS server removes
"link1" from its configuration bases for this DOTS client domain.

6.3. Telemetry Baseline
A DOTS client can communicate to its server(s) its normal traffic
baseline and total connections capacity:
Total Traffic Normal Baseline: By default, the low percentile (10th
percentile), mid percentile (50th percentile), high percentile
(90th percentile), and peak values (100th percentile) of "Total
traffic normal baselines" measured in packets per second (PPS) or
kilo packets per second (Kpps) and Bits per Second (BPS), and
kilobytes per second or megabytes per second or gigabytes per
second. For example, 90th percentile says that 90% of the time,
the total normal traffic is below the limit specified.
The traffic normal baseline is represented for a target and is
transport-protocol specific.
If the DOTS client negotiated percentile values and units
(Section 6.1), these negotiated values will be used instead of the
default ones.
Total Connections Capacity: If the target is subjected to resource
consuming DDoS attack, the following optional attributes for the
target per transport-protocol are useful to detect resource
consuming DDoS attacks:
* The maximum number of simultaneous connections that are allowed
to the target. The threshold is transport-protocol specific
because the target could support multiple protocols.
* The maximum number of simultaneous connections that are allowed
to the target per client.
* The maximum number of simultaneous embryonic connections that
are allowed to the target. The term "embryonic connection"
refers to a connection whose connection handshake is not
finished and embryonic connection is only possible in
connection-oriented transport protocols like TCP or SCTP.
* The maximum number of simultaneous embryonic connections that
are allowed to the target per client.
* The maximum number of connections allowed per second to the
target.
* The maximum number of connections allowed per second to the
target per client.

* The maximum number of requests allowed per second to the
target.

* The maximum number of partial requests allowed per second to

the target per client.
The tree structure of the baseline is shown in Figure 16.

6.3.1. Convey DOTS Client Domain Baseline Information
Similar considerations to those specified in Section 6.1.2 are
followed with one exception:
The relative order of two PUT requests carrying DOTS client domain
baseline attributes from a DOTS client is determined by comparing
their respective 'tsid' values. If such two requests have
overlapping targets, the PUT request with higher numeric 'tsid'
value will override the request with a lower numeric 'tsid' value.
The overlapped lower numeric 'tsid' MUST be automatically deleted
and no longer.
Two PUT requests from a DOTS client have overlapping targets if there
is a common IP address, IP prefix, FQDN, or URI.
DOTS clients SHOULD minimize the number of active "tsids" used for
baseline information. Typically, in order to avoid maintaining a
long list of "tsids" for baseline information, it is RECOMMENDED that
DOTS clients include in a request to update information related to a
given target, the information of other targets (already communicated
using a lower 'tsid' value) (assuming this fits within one single
datagram). This update request will override these existing requests
and hence optimize the number of 'tsid" request per DOTS client.
If no target clause in included in the request, this is an indication
that the baseline information applies for the DOTS client domain as a
whole.
An example of a PUT request to convey the baseline information is
shown in Figure 17.

A DOTS server may detect conflicts between requests to convey pipe

client domain. 'conflict-information' is used to report the conflict
to the DOTS client following similar conflict handling discussed in
Section 4.4.1 of [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel]. The confict cause
can be set to one of these values:
1: Overlapping targets (already defined in
[I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel]).
TBA: Overlapping pipe scope (see Section 11).
7. DOTS Telemetry from Clients to Servers
There are two broad types of DDoS attacks, one is bandwidth consuming
attack, the other is target resource consuming attack. This section
outlines the set of DOTS telemetry attributes (Section 7.1) that
covers both the types of attacks. The ultimate objective of these
attributes is to allow for the complete knowledge of attacks and the
various particulars that can best characterize attacks.
The description and motivation behind each attribute are presented in
Section 3. DOTS telemetry attributes are optionally signaled and
therefore MUST NOT be treated as mandatory fields in the DOTS signal
channel protocol.
The "ietf-dots-telemetry" YANG module (Section 9) augments the "ietf-
dots-signal" with a new message type called "telemetry". The tree
structure of the "telemetry" message type is shown Figure 19.

Attack Detail Tree Structure
Boucadair, et al. Expires August 3, 2020 [Page 37]
Internet-Draft DOTS Telemetry January 2020
The following new fields describing the on-going attack are
discussed:
id: Vendor ID is a security vendor's Enterprise Number as registered
with IANA [Enterprise-Numbers]. It is a four-byte integer value.
This is a mandatory sub-attribute.
attack-id: Unique identifier assigned by the vendor for the attack.
This is a mandatory sub-attribute.
attack-name: Textual representation of attack description. Natural
Language Processing techniques (e.g., word embedding) can possibly
be used to map the attack description to an attack type. Textual
representation of attack solves two problems (a) avoids the need
to create mapping tables manually between vendors (2) Avoids the
need to standardize attack types which keep evolving.
This is a mandatory sub-attribute
attack-severity: Attack severity. Emergency (0), critical (1) and
alert (2).
This is an optional sub-attribute
start-time: The time the attack started. The attack start time is
expressed in seconds relative to 1970-01-01T00:00Z in UTC time
(Section 2.4.1 of [RFC7049]). The CBOR encoding is modified so
that the leading tag 1 (epoch-based date/time) MUST be omitted.
This is a mandatory sub-attribute
end-time: The time the attack-id attack ended. The attack
end time is expressed in seconds relative to 1970-01-01T00:00Z in
UTC time (Section 2.4.1 of [RFC7049]). The CBOR encoding is
modified so that the leading tag 1 (epoch-based date/time) MUST be
omitted.
This is an optional sub-attribute
The following existing fields are re-defined describing the on-going
attack are discussed:
o The target resource is identified using the attributes 'target-
prefix', 'target-port-range', 'target-protocol', 'target-
fqdn','target-uri', or 'alias-name' defined in the base DOTS
signal channel protocol and at least one of the attributes
Boucadair, et al. Expires August 3, 2020 [Page 38]
Internet-Draft DOTS Telemetry January 2020
'target-prefix', 'target-fqdn','target-uri', or 'alias-name' MUST
be present in the attack details.
A. If the target is subjected to bandwidth consuming attack, the
attributes representing the low percentile (10th percentile),
mid percentile (50th percentile), high percentile (90th
percentile) and peak values of the attack-id attack traffic
measured in packets per second (PPS) or kilo packets per
second (Kpps) and Bits per Second (BPS), and kilobytes per
second or megabytes per second or gigabytes per second are
included.
B. If the target is subjected to resource consuming DDoS attacks,
the same attributes defined for Section 7.1.3 are applicable
for representing the attack.
This is an optional sub-attribute.
o A count of sources involved in the attack targeting the victim and
a list of top talkers among those sources. The top talkers are
represented using the 'source-prefix' defined in
[I-D.ietf-dots-signal-call-home]. If the top talkers are spoofed
IP addresses (e.g., reflection attacks) or not. If the target is
subjected to bandwidth consuming attack, the attack traffic from
each of the top talkers represented in the low percentile (10th
percentile), mid percentile (50th percentile), high percentile
(90th percentile) and peak values of traffic measured in packets
per second (PPS) or kilo packets per second (Kpps) and Bits per
Second (BPS), and kilobytes per second or megabytes per second
gigabytes per second. If the target is subjected to resource
consuming DDoS attacks, the same attributes defined for
Section 7.1.3 are applicable here for representing the attack per
talker. This is an optional sub-attribute.
7.2. DOTS Client to Server Mitigation Efficacy DOTS Telemetry
Attributes
The mitigation efficacy telemetry attributes can be signaled from the
DOTS client to the DOTS server as part of the periodic mitigation
efficacy updates to the server (Section 5.3.4 of
[I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel]).
Total Attack Traffic: The low percentile (10th percentile), mid
percentile (50th percentile), high percentile (90th percentile),
and peak values of total attack traffic the DOTS client still sees
during the active mitigation service measured in packets per
second (PPS) or kilo packets per second (Kpps) and Bits per Second
Boucadair, et al. Expires August 3, 2020 [Page 39]
Internet-Draft DOTS Telemetry January 2020
(BPS), and kilobytes per second or megabytes per second or
gigabytes per second. See Figure 21.
Attack Details: The overall attack details as observed from the
DOTS client perspective during the active mitigation service. The
same attributes defined in Section 7.1.4 are applicable here.
7.3. Sample Examples
7.3.1. Single Pre-Mitigation
<<>>
7.3.2. Multiple Pre-Mitigations
<<multiple mitigation-ids are used >>
7.3.3. Top-Talker of Targets
<<A server can aggregate top-talkers for all targets of a domain, or
when justified, send specific information (including top-talkers) per
individual targets. >>
<<several target victim (target) addresses should be included in the
target-prefix*.>>
7.3.4. Top-Talker of Each Target
<<Each target victim (target) address should be included in the list
of target-prefix* in each pre-mitigation, and several pre-mitigations
should be included in the pre-mitigation*.>>
8. DOTS Telemetry from Servers to Clients
8.1. DOTS Server to Client Mitigation Status DOTS Telemetry Attributes
The mitigation status telemetry attributes can be signaled from the
DOTS server to the DOTS client as part of the periodic mitigation
status update (Section 5.3.3 of [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel]). In
particular, DOTS clients can receive asynchronous notifications of
the attack details from DOTS servers using the Observe option defined
in [RFC7641].
The "ietf-dots-telemetry" YANG module augments the "mitigation-scope"
type message defined in "ietf-dots-signal" with telemetry data as
depicted in following tree structure:

8.1.1. Mitigation Status
As defined in [RFC8612], the actual mitigation activities can include
several countermeasure mechanisms. The DOTS server SHOULD signal the
current operational status to each relevant countermeasure. A list
of attacks detected by each countermeasure.
The same attributes defined for Section 7.1.4 are applicable for
describing the attacks detected and mitigated.
Boucadair, et al. Expires August 3, 2020 [Page 42]
Internet-Draft DOTS Telemetry January 2020
8.2. DOTS Detector to Clients Detection Telemetry
The attack details can also be signaled from DOTS servers to DOTS
clients. For example, the DOTS server co-located with a DDoS
detector collects monitoring information from the target network,
identifies DDoS attack using statistical analysis or deep learning
techniques, and signals the attack details to the DOTS client.
The DOTS client can use the attack details to decide whether to
trigger a DOTS mitigation request or not. Furthermore, the security
operation personnel at the DOTS client domain can use the attack
details to determine the protection strategy and select the
appropriate DOTS server for mitigating the attack.
