Abstract
This document defines the Protocol for Carrying Authentication for
Network Access (PANA), a network-layer transport for Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) to enable network access authentication
between clients and access networks. In EAP terms, PANA is a UDP-
based EAP lower layer that runs between the EAP peer and the EAP
authenticator.

1. Introduction
Providing secure network access service requires access control based
on the authentication and authorization of the clients and the access
networks. Client-to-network authentication provides parameters that
are needed to police the traffic flow through the enforcement points.
A protocol is needed to carry authentication methods between the
client and the access network.
Scope of this work is identified as designing a network layer
transport for network access authentication methods. The Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP) [RFC3748] provides such authentication
methods. In other words, PANA carries EAP which can carry various
authentication methods. By the virtue of enabling transport of EAP
above IP, any authentication method that can be carried as an EAP
method is made available to PANA and hence to any link-layer
technology. There is a clear division of labor between PANA (an EAP
lower layer), EAP and EAP methods as described in [RFC3748].
Various environments and usage models for PANA are identified in
Appendix A of [RFC4058]. Potential security threats for
network-layer access authentication protocol are discussed in
[RFC4016]. These have been essential in defining the requirements
[RFC4058] on the PANA protocol. Note that some of these requirements
are imposed by the chosen payload, EAP [RFC3748].
There are components that are part of a complete secure network
access solution but are outside of the PANA protocol specification,
including authentication method choice, data traffic protection,
PAA-EP protocol, and PAA discovery. PANA authentication output is
used for creating access control filters. These components are
described in separate documents (see [I-D.ietf-pana-framework] and
[I-D.ietf-dhc-paa-option]). The readers are recommended to read the
PANA Framework document [I-D.ietf-pana-framework] prior to reading
this protocol specification document.
1.1. Specification of Requirements
In this document, several words are used to signify the requirements
of the specification. These words are often capitalized. The key
words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD",
"SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document
are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
2. Terminology
PANA Client (PaC):
The client side of the protocol that resides in the access device
(e.g., laptop, PDA, etc.). It is responsible for providing the
credentials in order to prove its identity (authentication) for
network access authorization. The PaC and the EAP peer are
co-located in the same access device.
PANA Authentication Agent (PAA):
The protocol entity in the access network whose responsibility is
to verify the credentials provided by a PANA client (PaC) and
authorize network access to the access device. The PAA and the
EAP authenticator (and optionally the EAP server) are co-located
in the same node. Note the authentication and authorization
procedure can, according to the EAP model, also be offloaded to
the backend AAA infrastructure.
PANA Session:
A PANA session is established between the PANA Client (PaC) and
the PANA Authentication Agent (PAA), and terminates as a result of
an authentication and authorization or liveness test failure, a
message delivery failure after retransmissions reach maximum
values, session lifetime expiration, an explicit termination
message or any event that causes discontinuation of the access
service. A fixed session identifier is maintained throughout a
session. A session cannot be shared across multiple network
interfaces.
Session Lifetime:
A duration that is associated with a PANA session. For an
established PANA session, the session lifetime is bound to the
lifetime of the current authorization given to the PaC. The
session lifetime can be extended by a new round of EAP
authentication before it expires. Until a PANA session is
established, the lifetime SHOULD be set to a value that allows the
PaC to detect a failed session in a reasonable amount of time.
Session Identifier:
This identifier is used to uniquely identify a PANA session on the
PaC and the PAA. It is included in PANA messages to bind the
message to a specific PANA session. This bidirectional identifier
is allocated by the PAA in the initial request message and freed
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
when the session terminates. The session identifier is assigned
by the PAA and unique within the PAA.
PANA Security Association (PANA SA):
A PANA security association is formed between the PaC and the PAA
by sharing cryptographic keying material and associated context.
The formed duplex security association is used to protect the
bidirectional PANA signaling traffic between the PaC and PAA.
Enforcement Point (EP):
A node on the access network where per-packet enforcement policies
(i.e., filters) are applied on the inbound and outbound traffic of
access devices. The EP and the PAA may be co-located. EPs should
prevent data traffic from and to any unauthorized client unless
that data traffic is either PANA or one of the other allowed
traffic types (e.g., ARP, IPv6 neighbor discovery, DHCP, etc.).
Master Session Key (MSK):
A key derived by the EAP peer and the EAP server and transported
to the EAP authenticator [RFC3748].
For additional terminology definitions see the PANA framework
document [I-D.ietf-pana-framework].

3. Protocol Overview
The PANA protocol is run between a client (PaC) and a server (PAA) in
order to perform authentication and authorization for the network
access service.
The protocol messaging consists of a series of requests and answers,
some of which may be initiated by either end. Each message can carry
zero or more AVPs (Attribute-Value Pairs) within the payload. The
main payload of PANA is EAP which performs authentication. PANA
helps the PaC and PAA establish an EAP session.
PANA is a UDP-based protocol. It has its own retransmission
mechanism to reliably deliver messages.
PANA messages are sent between the PaC and PAA as part of a PANA
session. A PANA session consists of distinct phases:
o Authentication and authorization phase: This is the phase that
initiates a new PANA session and executes EAP between the PAA and
PaC. The PANA session can be initiated by both the PaC and the
PAA. The EAP payload (which carry an EAP method inside) is what
is used for authentication. The PAA conveys the result of
authentication and authorization to the PaC at the end of this
phase.
o Access phase: After a successful authentication and authorization
the access device gains access to the network and can send and
receive IP traffic through the EP(s). At any time during this
phase, the PaC and PAA may optionally send PANA notification
messages to test liveness of the PANA session on the peer.
o Re-authentication phase: During the access phase, the PAA may, and
the PaC should, initiate re-authentication if they want to update
the PANA session lifetime before the PANA session lifetime
expires. EAP is carried by PANA to perform re-authentication.
This phase may be optionally triggered by both the PaC and the PAA
without any respect to the session lifetime. The re-
authentication phase is a sub-phase of the access phase. The
session moves to this sub-phase from the access phase when re-
authentication starts, and returns back there upon successful re-
authentication.
o Termination phase: The PaC or PAA may choose to discontinue the
access service at any time. An explicit disconnect message can be
sent by either end. If either the PaC or the PAA disconnects
without engaging in termination messaging, it is expected that
either the expiration of a finite session lifetime or failed
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
liveness tests would clean up the session at the other end.
Cryptographic protection of messages between the PaC and PAA is
possible as soon as EAP in conjunction with the EAP method exports a
shared key. That shared key is used to create a PANA SA. The PANA
SA helps generate per-message authentication codes that provide
integrity protection and authentication.
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
4. Protocol Details
The following sections explain in detail the various phases of a PANA
session.
4.1. Authentication and Authorization Phase
The main task of the authentication and authorization phase is to
establish a PANA session and carry EAP messages between the PaC and
the PAA. The PANA session can be initiated by either the PaC or the
PAA.
PaC-initiated Session:
When the PaC initiates a PANA session, it sends a
PANA-Client-Initiation message to the PAA. When the PaC is not
configured with an IP address of the PAA before initiating the
PANA session, DHCP [I-D.ietf-dhc-paa-option] is used as the
default method for dynamically configuring the IP address of the
PAA. Alternative methods for dynamically discovering the IP
address of the PAA may be used for PaC-initiated session but they
are outside the scope of this specification. The PAA that
receives the PANA-Client-Initiation message MUST respond to the
PaC with a PANA-Auth-Request message.
PAA-initiated Session:
When the PAA knows the IP address of the PaC, it MAY send an
unsolicited PANA-Auth-Request to the PaC. The details of how PAA
can learn the IP address of the PaC are outside the scope of this
specification.
A session identifier for the session is assigned by the PAA and
carried in the initial PANA-Auth-Request message. The same session
identifier MUST be carried in the subsequent messages exchanged
between the PAA and PaC throughout the session.
When the PaC receives the initial PANA-Auth-Request message from a
PAA, it responds with a PANA-Auth-Answer message, if it wishes to
continue the PANA session. Otherwise, it silently discards the PANA-
Auth-Request message.
The initial PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer messages MUST have
the 'S' (Start) bit set, regardless of whether the session is
initiated by the PaC or the PAA. Non-initial PANA-Auth-Request and
PANA-Auth-Answer messages as well as any other messages MUST NOT have
the 'S' (Start) bit set.
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
It is recommended that the PAA limit the rate it processes incoming
PANA-Client-Initiation messages to provide robustness against
denial-of service (DoS) attacks. Details of rate limiting are
outside the scope of this specification.
If a PANA SA needs to be established with use of a key-generating EAP
method, PRF and integrity algorithms to be used for PANA_AUTH_KEY
derivation (see Section 5.3) and AUTH AVP calculation (see
Section 5.4) are negotiated as follows. The PAA sends the initial
PANA-Auth-Request carrying one or more PRF-Algorithm AVPs and one or
more Integrity-Algorithm AVPs for the PRF and integrity algorithms
supported by it, respectively. The PaC then selects one PRF
algorithm and one integrity algorithm from these AVPs carried in the
initial PANA-Auth-Request and responds with the initial
PANA-Auth-Answer carrying one PRF-Algorithm AVP and one Integrity-
Algorithm AVP for the selected algorithms. The negotiation is
protected after the MSK is available, as described in Section 5.3.
If the PAA wants to stay stateless in response to a
PANA-Client-Initiation message, it doesn't include an EAP-Payload AVP
in the initial PANA-Auth-Request message, and it should not re-
transmit the message on a timer. For this reason, the PaC MUST
retransmit the PANA-Client-Initiation message until it receives the
second PANA-Auth-Request message (not a retransmission of the initial
one) from the PAA.
It is possible that both the PAA and the PaC initiate the PANA
session at the same time, i.e., the PAA unsolicitedly sends the
initial PANA-Auth-Request message while the PaC sends a
PANA-Client-Initiation message. To resolve the race condition, the
PAA MUST silently discard the PANA-Client-Initiation message received
from the PaC after it has sent the initial PANA-Auth-Request message.
The PAA uses the source IP address and the source port number of the
PANA-Client-Initiation message to identify the PaC among multiple
PANA-Client-Initiation messages sent from different PaCs.
EAP messages are carried in PANA-Auth-Request messages.
PANA-Auth-Answer messages are simply used to acknowledge receipt of
the requests. As an optimization, a PANA-Auth-Answer message sent
from the PaC MAY include the EAP message. This optimization SHOULD
NOT be used when it takes time to generate the EAP message (due to,
e.g., intervention of human input), in which case returning an
PANA-Auth-Answer message without piggybacking an EAP message can
avoid unnecessary retransmission of the PANA-Auth-Request message.
A Nonce AVP MUST be included in the first PANA-Auth-Request and
PANA-Auth-Answer messages following the initial PANA-Auth-Request and
PANA-Auth-Answer messages (i.e. with the 'S' (Start) bit set), and
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
MUST NOT be included in any other message, except during re-
authentication procedures (see Section 4.3).
The result of PANA authentication is carried in the last
PANA-Auth-Request message sent from the PAA to the PaC. This message
carries the EAP authentication result and the result of PANA
authentication. The last PANA-Auth-Request message MUST be
acknowledged with a PANA-Auth-Answer message. The last
PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer messages MUST have the 'C'
(Complete) bit set, and any other message MUST NOT have the 'C'
(Complete) bit set. Figure 1 shows an example sequence in the
authentication and authorization phase for a PaC-initiated session.

-----> PANA-Client-Initiation(0)
<----- PANA-Auth-Request(x)[PRF-Algorithm, Integrity-Algorithm]

// The 'S' (Start) bit set

-----> PANA-Auth-Answer(x+3)[Key-Id, AUTH]
// The 'C' (Complete) bit set
Figure 1: Example sequence for the authentication and authorization
phase for a PaC-initiated session ("Piggybacking EAP" is the case in
which an EAP-Payload AVP is carried in PAN.)
If a PANA SA needs to be established with use of a key-generating EAP
method and an MSK is successfully generated, the last
PANA-Auth-Request message with the 'C' (Complete) bit set MUST
contain a Key-Id AVP and an AUTH AVP for the first derivation of keys
in the session, and any subsequent message MUST contain an AUTH AVP.
EAP authentication can fail at a pass-through authenticator without
sending an EAP Failure message [RFC4137]. When this occurs, the PAA
SHOULD silently terminate the session, expecting that a session
timeout on the PaC will clean up the state on the PaC.
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
There is a case where EAP authentication succeeds with producing an
EAP Success message but network access authorization fails due to,
e.g., authorization rejected by a AAA or authorization locally
rejected by the PAA. When this occurs, the PAA MUST send the last
PANA-Auth-Request with a result code PANA_AUTHORIZATION_REJECTED. If
an MSK is available, the last PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer
messages with the 'C' (Complete) bit set MUST be protected with an
AUTH AVP and carry a Key-Id AVP. The PANA session MUST be terminated
immediately after the last PANA-Auth message exchange.
The PaC may need to reconfigure IP address after successful
authentication and authorization phase to obtain an IP address that
is usable for exchanging data traffic through EP. In this case, the
PAA sets the 'I' (IP Reconfiguration) bit of PANA-Auth-Request
messages in the authentication and authorization phase to indicate
the PaC the need for IP address reconfiguration. How IP address
reconfiguration is performed is outside the scope of this document.
4.2. Access Phase
Once the authentication and authorization phase successfully
completes, the PaC gains access to the network and can send and
receive IP data traffic through the EP(s) and the PANA session enters
the access phase. In this phase, PANA-Notification-Request and
PANA-Notification-Answer messages with the 'P' (Ping) bit set (ping
request and ping answer messages, respectively) can be used for
testing the liveness of the PANA session on the PANA peer. Both the
PaC and the PAA are allowed to send a ping request to the
communicating peer whenever they need to ensure the availability of
the session on the peer and expect the peer to return a ping answer
message. The ping request and answer messages MUST be protected with
an AUTH AVP when a PANA SA is available. A ping request MUST NOT be
sent in the authentication and authorization phase, re-authentication
phase and termination phase.
Implementations MUST limit the rate of performing this test. The PaC
and the PAA can handle rate limitation on their own, they do not have
to perform any coordination with each other. There is no negotiation
of timers for this purpose. Additionally, an implementation MAY
rate-limit processing the incoming ping requests. It should be noted
that if a PAA or PaC which considers its connectivity lost after a
relatively small number of unresponsive pings coupled with a peer
that is aggressively rate-limiting the ping request and answer
messages, false-positives could result. Therefore, a PAA or PaC
should not rely on frequent ping operation to quickly determine loss
of connectivity.

Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
4.3. Re-authentication Phase
The PANA session in the access phase can enter the re-authentication
phase to extend the current session lifetime by re-executing EAP.
Once the re-authentication phase successfully completes, the session
re-enters the access phase. Otherwise, the session is terminated.
When the PaC initiates re-authentication, it sends a
PANA-Notification-Request message with the 'A' (re-Authentication)
bit set (a re-authentication request message) to the PAA. This
message MUST contain the session identifier assigned to the session
being re-authenticated. If the PAA already has an established PANA
session for the PaC with the matching session identifier, it MUST
first respond with a PANA-Notification-Answer message with the 'A'
(re-Authentication) bit set (a re-authentication answer message),
followed by a PANA-Auth-Request message that starts a new EAP
authentication. If the PAA cannot identify the session, it MUST
silently discard the message. The first PANA-Auth-Request and
PANA-Auth-Answer messages in the re-authentication phase MUST have
the 'S' (Start) bit cleared and carry a Nonce AVP.
The PaC may receive a PANA-Auth-Request before receiving the answer
to its outstanding re-authentication request message. This condition
can arise due to packet re-ordering or a race condition between the
PaC and PAA when they both attempt to engage in re-authentication.
The PaC MUST keep discarding the received PANA-Auth-Requests until it
receives the answer to its request.
When the PAA initiates re-authentication, it sends a
PANA-Auth-Request message containing the session identifier for the
PaC. The PAA MUST initiate EAP re-authentication before the current
session lifetime expires.
Re-authentication of an on-going PANA session MUST NOT reset the
sequence numbers.
For any re-authentication, if there is an established PANA SA, re-
authentication request and answer messages and subsequent
PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer messages MUST be protected
with an AUTH AVP. The final PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer
messages and any subsequent PANA message MUST be protected by using
the key generated from the latest EAP authentication.

4.4. Termination Phase
A procedure for explicitly terminating a PANA session can be
initiated either from the PaC (i.e., disconnect indication) or from
the PAA (i.e., session revocation). The PANA-Termination-Request and
PANA-Termination-Answer message exchanges are used for disconnect
indication and session revocation procedures.
The reason for termination is indicated in the Termination-Cause AVP.
When there is an established PANA SA between the PaC and the PAA, all
messages exchanged during the termination phase MUST be protected
with an AUTH AVP. When the sender of the PANA-Termination-Request
message receives a valid acknowledgment, all states maintained for
the PANA session MUST be terminated immediately.

5. Processing Rules
5.1. Fragmentation
PANA does not provide fragmentation of PANA messages. Instead, it
relies on fragmentation provided by EAP methods and IP layer when
needed.
5.2. Sequence Number and Retransmission
PANA uses sequence numbers to provide ordered and reliable delivery
of messages.
The PaC and PAA maintain two sequence numbers: One is for setting the
sequence number of the next outgoing request, the other is for
matching the sequence number of the next incoming request. These
sequence numbers are 32-bit unsigned numbers. They are monotonically
incremented by 1 as new requests are generated and received, and
wrapped to zero on the next message after 2^32-1. Answers always
contain the same sequence number as the corresponding request.
Retransmissions reuse the sequence number contained in the original
packet.
The initial sequence numbers (ISN) are randomly picked by the PaC and
PAA as they send their very first request messages.
PANA-Client-Initiation message carries sequence number 0.
When a request message is received, it is considered valid in terms
of sequence numbers if and only if its sequence number matches the
expected value. This check does not apply to the
PANA-Client-Initiation message and the initial PANA-Auth-Request
message.
When an answer message is received, it is considered valid in terms
of sequence numbers if and only if its sequence number matches that
of the currently outstanding request. A peer can only have one
outstanding request at a time.
PANA request messages are retransmitted based on a timer until an
answer is received (in which case the retransmission timer is
stopped) or the number of retransmission reaches the maximum value
(in which case the PANA session MUST be terminated immediately).
The retransmission timers SHOULD be calculated as described in
Section 9 unless a given deployment chooses to use its own
retransmission timers optimized for the underlying link-layer
characteristics.
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
Unless dropped due to rate limiting, the PaC and PAA MUST respond to
all duplicate request messages received. The last transmitted answer
MAY be cached in case it is not received by the peer and that
generates a retransmission of the last request. When available, the
cached answer can be used instead of fully processing the
retransmitted request and forming a new answer from scratch.
5.3. PANA Security Association
A PANA SA is created as an attribute of a PANA session when EAP
authentication succeeds with a creation of an MSK. A PANA SA is not
created when the PANA authentication fails or no MSK is produced by
the EAP authentication method. When a new MSK is derived in the PANA
re-authentication phase, any key derived from the old MSK MUST be
updated to a new one that is derived from the new MSK. In order to
distinguish the new MSK from old ones, one Key-Id AVP MUST be carried
in the last PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer messages with the
'C' (Complete) bit set at the end of the EAP authentication which
resulted in deriving a new MSK. The Key-Id AVP is of type Unsigned32
and MUST contain a value that uniquely identifies the MSK within the
PANA session. The last PANA-Auth-Answer message with the 'C'
(Complete) bit set in response to the last PANA-Auth-Request message
with the 'C' (Complete) bit set MUST contain a Key-Id AVP with the
same MSK identifier carried in the request. The last
PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer messages with a Key-Id AVP
MUST also carry an AUTH AVP whose value is computed by using the new
PANA_AUTH_KEY derived from the new MSK. Although the specification
does not mandate a particular method for calculation of the Key-Id
AVP value, a simple method is to use monotonically increasing
numbers.
The PANA session lifetime is bounded by the authorization lifetime
granted by the authentication server (same as the MSK lifetime). The
lifetime of the PANA SA (hence the PANA_AUTH_KEY) is the same as the
lifetime of the PANA session. The created PANA SA is deleted when
the corresponding PANA session is terminated.
PANA SA attributes as well as PANA session attributes are listed
below:
PANA Session attributes:
* Session Identifier
* IP address and UDP port number of the PaC.
* IP address and UDP port number of the PAA.
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
* Sequence number for the next outgoing request
* Sequence number for the next incoming request
* Last transmitted message payload
* Retransmission interval
* Session lifetime
* PANA SA attributes
PANA SA attributes:
* Nonce generated by PaC (PaC_nonce)
* Nonce generated by PAA (PAA_nonce)
* MSK
* MSK Identifier
* PANA_AUTH_KEY
* Pseudo-random function
* Integrity algorithm
The PANA_AUTH_KEY is derived from the available MSK and it is used to
integrity protect PANA messages. The PANA_AUTH_KEY is computed in
the following way:
PANA_AUTH_KEY = prf+(MSK, I_PAR|I_PAN|PaC_nonce|PAA_nonce|Key_ID)
where the prf+ function is defined in IKEv2 [RFC4306]. The
pseudo-random function to be used for the prf+ function is negotiated
using PRF-Algorithm AVP in the initial PANA-Auth-Request and
PANA-Auth-Answer exchange with 'S' (Start) bit set. The length of
PANA_AUTH_KEY depends on the integrity algorithm in use. See
Section 5.4 for the detailed usage of the PANA_AUTH_KEY. I_PAR and
I_PAN are the initial PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer messages
(the PANA header and the following PANA AVPs) with 'S' (Start) bit
set, respectively. PaC_nonce and PAA_nonce are values of the Nonce
AVP carried in the first non-initial PANA-Auth-Answer and
PANA-Auth-Request messages in the authentication and authorization
phase or the first PANA-Auth-Answer and PANA-Auth-Request messages in
the re-authentication phase, respectively. Key_ID is the value of
the Key-Id AVP.

Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
5.4. Message Authentication
A PANA message can contain an AUTH AVP for cryptographically
protecting the message.
When an AUTH AVP is included in a PANA message, the value field of
the AUTH AVP is calculated by using the PANA_AUTH_KEY in the
following way:
AUTH AVP value = PANA_AUTH_HASH(PANA_AUTH_KEY, PANA_PDU)
where PANA_PDU is the PANA message including the PANA header, with
the AUTH AVP value field first initialized to 0. PANA_AUTH_HASH
represents the integrity algorithm negotiated using Integrity-
Algorithm AVP in the initial PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer
exchange with 'S' (Start) bit set. The PaC and PAA MUST use the same
integrity algorithm to calculate an AUTH AVP they originate and
receive.
5.5. Message Validity Check
When a PANA message is received, the message is considered to be
invalid at least when one of the following conditions are not met:
o Each field in the message header contains a valid value including
sequence number, message length, message type, flags, session
identifier, etc.
o The message type is one of the expected types in the current
state. Specifically the following messages are unexpected and
invalid:
* In the authentication and authorization phase:
+ PANA-Client-Initiation after completion of the initial
PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer exchange with 'S'
(Start) bit set.
+ Re-authentication request.
+ Ping request.
+ The last PANA-Auth-Request with 'C' (Complete) bit set
before completion of the initial PANA-Auth-Request and
PANA-Auth-Answer exchange with 'S' (Start) bit set.
+ The initial PANA-Auth-Request with 'S' (Start) bit set after
a PaC receives a valid non-initial PANA-Auth-Request with
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
'S' (Start) bit cleared.
+ PANA-Termination-Request.
* In the re-authentication phase:
+ PANA-Client-Initiation.
+ The initial PANA-Auth-Request.
* In the access phase:
+ PANA-Auth-Request.
+ PANA-Client-Initiation.
* In the termination phase:
+ PANA-Client-Initiation.
+ All requests but PANA-Termination-Request and ping request.
o The message payload contains a valid set of AVPs allowed for the
message type and there is no missing AVP that needs to be included
in the payload and no AVP, which needs to be at a fixed position,
is included in a position different from this fixed position.
o Each AVP is recognized and decoded correctly.
o Once the PANA authentication succeeds using a key-generating EAP
method, the PANA-Auth-Request message that carries the EAP Success
and any subsequent message in that session contain an AUTH AVP.
The AVP value matches the hash value computed against the received
message.
Invalid messages MUST be discarded in order to provide robustness
against DoS attacks.
5.6. PaC Updating its IP Address
A PaC's IP address used for PANA can change in certain situations,
e.g., when IP address reconfiguration is needed for the PaC to obtain
an IP address after successful PANA authentication (see Section 4.1)
or when the PaC moves from one IP link to another within the same
PAA's realm. In order to maintain the PANA session, the PAA needs to
be notified about the change of PaC address.
After the PaC has changed its IP address used for PANA, it MUST send
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
any valid PANA message. If the message that carries the new PaC IP
address in the Source Address field of the IP header is valid, the
PAA MUST update the PANA session with the new PaC address. If there
is an established PANA SA, the message MUST be protected with an AUTH
AVP.
5.7. Session Lifetime
The authentication and authorization phase determines the PANA
session lifetime and the lifetime is indicated to the PaC When the
network access authorization succeeds. For this purpose, when the
last PANA-Auth-Request message (i.e., with the 'C' (Complete) bit
set) in authentication and authorization phase or re-authentication
phase carries a Result-Code AVP with a value of PANA_SUCCESS, a
Session-Lifetime AVP MUST also be carried in the message. A Session-
Lifetime AVP MUST be ignored when included in other PANA messages.
The lifetime is a non-negotiable parameter that can be used by the
PaC to manage PANA-related state. The PaC MUST initiate the re-
authentication phase before the current session lifetime expires if
it wants to extend the session.
The PaC and the PAA MAY use information obtained outside PANA (e.g.,
lower-layer indications) to expedite the detection of a disconnected
peer. Availability and reliability of such indications MAY depend on
a specific link-layer or network topology and are therefore only
hints. A PANA peer SHOULD use the ping request and answer exchange
to verify that a peer is, in fact, no longer alive, unless
information obtained outside PANA is being used to expedite the
detection of a disconnected peer.
The session lifetime parameter is not related to the transmission of
ping request messages. These messages can be used for asynchronously
verifying the liveness of the peer. The decision to send a ping
request message is taken locally and does not require coordination
between the peers.

6. Message Format
This section defines message formats for PANA protocol.
6.1. IP and UDP Headers
Any PANA message is unicast between the PaC and the PAA.
For any PANA message sent from the peer that has initiated the PANA
session, the UDP source port is set to any number on which the peer
can receive incoming PANA messages and the destination port is set to
the assigned PANA port number (to be assigned by IANA). For any PANA
message sent from the other peer, the source port is set to the
assigned PANA port number (to be assigned by IANA) and the
destination port is copied from the source port of the last received
message. In case both the PaC and PAA initiates the session (i.e.,
PANA-Client-Initiation and unsolicited PANA-Auth-Request messages
cross each other), then the PaC is identified as the initiator. All
PANA peers MUST listen on the assigned PANA port number (to be
assigned by IANA).
6.2. PANA Message Header
A summary of the PANA message header format is shown below. The
fields are transmitted in network byte order.

boundary, while other AVP types align naturally. A number of
zero-valued bytes are added to the end of the AVP Value field till a
word boundary is reached. The length of the padding is not reflected
in the AVP Length field [RFC3588].
The fields in the AVP are sent in network byte order. The AVP format
is:

AVP Code
The AVP Code, together with the optional Vendor ID field,
identifies attribute that follows. If the V-bit is not set, the
Vendor ID is not present and the AVP Code refers to an IETF
attribute.
AVP Flags
The AVP Flags field is two octets. The following bits are
assigned:
0 1

V (Vendor)
The 'V' (Vendor) bit indicates whether the optional Vendor-Id
field is present in the AVP header. When set the AVP Code
belongs to the specific vendor code address space. All AVPs
defined in this document MUST have the 'V' (Vendor) bit
cleared.
r (reserved)
These flag bits are reserved for future use, and MUST be set to
zero, and ignored by the receiver.
AVP Length
The AVP Length field is two octets, and indicates the number of
octets in the Value field. The length of the AVP Code, AVP
Length, AVP Flags, Reserved and Vendor-Id fields are not counted
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 24]

in the AVP Length value.
Reserved
This two-octet field is reserved for future use, and MUST be set
to zero, and ignored by the receiver.
Vendor-Id
The Vendor-Id field is present if the 'V' (Vendor) bit is set in
the AVP Flags field. The optional four-octet Vendor-Id field
contains the IANA assigned "SMI Network Management Private
Enterprise Codes" [ianaweb] value, encoded in network byte order.
Any vendor wishing to implement a vendor-specific PANA AVP MUST
use their own Vendor-Id along with their privately managed AVP
address space, guaranteeing that they will not collide with any
other vendor's vendor-specific AVP(s), nor with future IETF
applications.
Value
The Value field is zero or more octets and contains information
specific to the Attribute. The format of the Value field is
determined by the AVP Code and Vendor-Id fields. The length of
the Value field is determined by the AVP Length field.

7. PANA Messages
Each Request/Answer message pair is assigned a Sequence Number, and
the sub-type (i.e., request or answer) is identified via the 'R'
(Request) bit in the Message Flags field of the PANA message header.
Every PANA message MUST contain a message type in its header's
Message Type field, which is used to determine the action that is to
be taken for a particular message. Figure 3 lists all PANA messages
defined in this document:

8. AVPs in PANA
This document uses AVP Value Format such as 'OctetString' and
'Unsigned32' as defined in Section 4.2 of [RFC3588]. The definitions
of these data formats are not repeated in this document.
The following table lists the AVPs used in this document, and
specifies in which PANA messages they MAY, or MAY NOT be present.
The table uses the following symbols:
0 The AVP MUST NOT be present in the message.
0-1 Zero or one instance of the AVP MAY be present in the message.
It is considered an error if there are more than one instance
of the AVP.
1 One instance of the AVP MUST be present in the message.
0+ Zero or more instance of the AVP MAY be present in the message.

Figure 4: AVP Occurrence Table
8.1. AUTH AVP
The AUTH AVP (AVP Code 1) is used to integrity protect PANA messages.
The AVP data payload contains the Message Authentication Code encoded
in network byte order. The AVP length varies depending on the
integrity algorithm used. The AVP data is of type OctetString.
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 31]
Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
8.2. EAP-Payload AVP
The EAP-Payload AVP (AVP Code 2) is used for encapsulating the actual
EAP message that is being exchanged between the EAP peer and the EAP
authenticator. The AVP data is of type OctetString.
8.3. Integrity-Algorithm AVP
The Integrity-Algorithm AVP (AVP Code 3) is used for conveying the
the integrity algorithm to compute an AUTH AVP. The AVP data is of
type Unsigned32. The AVP data contains an IKEv2 Transform ID of
Transform Type 3 [RFC4306] for the integrity algorithm. All PANA
implementations MUST support AUTH_HMAC_SHA1_160 (7) [RFC4595].
8.4. Key-Id AVP
The Key-Id AVP (AVP Code 4) is of type Integer32, and contains an MSK
identifier. The MSK identifier is assigned by PAA and MUST be unique
within the PANA session.
8.5. Nonce AVP
The Nonce AVP (AVP Code 5) carries a randomly chosen value that is
used in cryptographic key computations. The recommendations in
[RFC4086] apply with regard to generation of random values. The AVP
data is of type OctetString and it contains a randomly generated
value in opaque format. The data length MUST be between 8 and 256
octets inclusive.
The length of the nonces are determined based on the available
pseudo-random functions (PRFs) and the degree of trust placed into
the PaC and the PAA to compute random values. The length of the
random value for the nonce is determined in one of the two ways,
depending on whether
1. The PaC and the PAA each are likely to be able to compute a
random nonce (according to [RFC4086]). The length of the nonce
has to be 1/2 the length of the PRF key (e.g., 10 octets in the
case of HMAC-SHA1).
2. The PaC and the PAA each are not trusted with regard to the
computation of a random nonce (according to [RFC4086]). The
length of the nonce has to have the full length of the PRF key
(e.g., 20 octets in the case of HMAC-SHA1).
Furthermore, the strongest available PRF available for PANA has to be
considered in this computation. Currently, only a single PRF (namely
HMAC-SHA1) is available and therefore the maximum output length is 20
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 32]
Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
octets). The maximum length of the nonce value SHOULD be therefore
20 octets.
8.6. PRF-Algorithm AVP
The PRF-Algorithm AVP (AVP Code 6) is used for conveying the pseudo-
random function to derive PANA_AUTH_KEY. The AVP data is of type
Unsigned32. The AVP data contains an IKEv2 Transform ID of Transform
Type 2 [RFC4306]. All PANA implementations MUST support
PRF_HMAC_SHA1 (2) [RFC2104].
8.7. Result-Code AVP
The Result-Code AVP (AVP Code 7) is of type Unsigned32 and indicates
whether an EAP authentication was completed successfully. Result-
Code AVP values are described below.
PANA_SUCCESS 0
Both authentication and authorization processes are successful.
PANA_AUTHENTICATION_REJECTED 1
Authentication has failed. When authentication fails,
authorization is also considered to have failed.
PANA_AUTHORIZATION_REJECTED 2
The authorization process has failed. This error could occur when
authorization is rejected by a AAA server or rejected locally by a
PAA, even if the authentication procedure has succeeded.
8.8. Session-Lifetime AVP
The Session-Lifetime AVP (AVP Code 8) contains the number of seconds
remaining before the current session is considered expired. The AVP
data is of type Unsigned32.
8.9. Termination-Cause AVP
The Termination-Cause AVP (AVP Code 9) is used for indicating the
reason why a session is terminated by the requester. The AVP data is
of type Enumerated. The following Termination-Cause data values are
used with PANA.
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 33]

Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
9. Retransmission Timers
The PANA protocol provides retransmissions for the
PANA-Client-Initiation message and all request messages.
PANA retransmission timers are based on the model used in DHCPv6
[RFC3315]. Variables used here are also borrowed from this
specification. PANA is a request/response-based protocol. The
message exchange terminates when the requester successfully receives
the answer or the message exchange is considered to have failed
according to the retransmission mechanism described below.
The retransmission behavior is controlled and described by the
following variables:
RT Retransmission timeout from the previous
(re)transmission
IRT Base value for RT for the initial retransmission
MRC Maximum retransmission count
MRT Maximum retransmission time
MRD Maximum retransmission duration
RAND Randomization factor
With each message transmission or retransmission, the sender sets RT
according to the rules given below. If RT expires before the message
exchange terminates, the sender recomputes RT and retransmits the
message.
Each of the computations of a new RT include a randomization factor
(RAND), which is a random number chosen with a uniform distribution
between -0.1 and +0.1. The randomization factor is included to
minimize synchronization of messages.
The algorithm for choosing a random number does not need to be
cryptographically sound. The algorithm SHOULD produce a different
sequence of random numbers from each invocation.
RT for the first message retransmission is based on IRT:
RT = IRT + RAND*IRT
RT for each subsequent message retransmission is based on the
previous value of RT:
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 35]
Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
RT = 2*RTprev + RAND*RTprev
MRT specifies an upper bound on the value of RT (disregarding the
randomization added by the use of RAND). If MRT has a value of 0,
there is no upper limit on the value of RT. Otherwise:
if (RT > MRT)
RT = MRT + RAND*MRT
MRC specifies an upper bound on the number of times a sender may
retransmit a message. Unless MRC is zero, the message exchange fails
once the sender has transmitted the message MRC times.
MRD specifies an upper bound on the length of time a sender may
retransmit a message. Unless MRD is zero, the message exchange fails
once MRD seconds have elapsed since the client first transmitted the
message.
If both MRC and MRD are non-zero, the message exchange fails whenever
either of the conditions specified in the previous two paragraphs are
met.
If both MRC and MRD are zero, the client continues to transmit the
message until it receives a response.
9.1. Transmission and Retransmission Parameters
This section presents a table of values used to describe the message
retransmission behavior of PANA requests that are retransmitted
(REQ_*) and PANA-Client-Initiation message (PCI_*). The table shows
default values.
Parameter Default Description
------------------------------------------------
PCI_IRT 1 sec Initial PCI timeout.
PCI_MRT 120 secs Max PCI timeout value.
PCI_MRC 0 Max PCI retransmission attempts.
PCI_MRD 0 Max PCI retransmission duration.
REQ_IRT 1 sec Initial Request timeout.
REQ_MRT 30 secs Max Request timeout value.
REQ_MRC 10 Max Request retransmission attempts.
REQ_MRD 0 Max Request retransmission duration.
So for example the first RT for the PBR message is calculated using
REQ_IRT as the IRT:
RT = REQ_IRT + RAND*REQ_IRT

Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
10. IANA Considerations
This section provides guidance to the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA) regarding registration of values related to the PANA
protocol, in accordance with BCP 26 [IANA]. The following policies
are used here with the meanings defined in BCP 26: "Private Use",
"First Come First Served", "Expert Review", "Specification Required",
"IETF Consensus", "Standards Action".
This section explains the criteria to be used by the IANA for
assignment of numbers within namespaces defined within this document.
For registration requests where a Designated Expert should be
consulted, the responsible IESG area director should appoint the
Designated Expert. For Designated Expert with Specification
Required, the request is posted to the PANA WG mailing list (or, if
it has been disbanded, a successor designated by the Area Director)
for comment and review, and MUST include a pointer to a public
specification. Before a period of 30 days has passed, the Designated
Expert will either approve or deny the registration request and
publish a notice of the decision to the PANA WG mailing list or its
successor. A denial notice must be justified by an explanation and,
in the cases where it is possible, concrete suggestions on how the
request can be modified so as to become acceptable.
An IANA registry for PANA needs to be created by IANA.
10.1. PANA UDP Port Number
PANA uses one well-known UDP port number Section 6.1), which needs to
be assigned by the IANA.
10.2. PANA Message Header
As defined in Section 6.2, the PANA message header contains two
fields that requires IANA namespace management; the Message Type and
Flags fields.
10.2.1. Message Type
The Message Type namespace is used to identify PANA messages. The
range of values 0 - 65,519 are for permanent, standard message types,
allocated by IETF Consensus [IANA]. This document defines the range
of values 1 - 4. The same Message Type is used for both the request
and the answer messages, except for type 1. The Request bit
distinguishes requests from answers. See Section 7 for the
assignment of the namespace in this specification.
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 37]
Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
The range of values 65,520 - 65,535 (hexadecimal values 0xfff0 -
0xffff) are reserved for experimental messages. As these codes are
only for experimental and testing purposes, no guarantee is made for
interoperability between the communicating PaC and PAA using
experimental commands, as outlined in [IANA-EXP].
10.2.2. Flags
There are 16 bits in the Flags field of the PANA message header.
This document assigns bit 0 ('R'), 1 ('S'), 2 ('C'), 3 ('A'), 4 ('P')
and 5 ('I') in Section 6.2. The remaining bits MUST only be assigned
via a Standards Action [IANA].
10.3. AVP Header
As defined in Section 6.3, the AVP header contains three fields that
requires IANA namespace management; the AVP Code, AVP Flags and
Vendor-Id fields where only the AVP Code and AVP Flags create new
namespaces.
10.3.1. AVP Code
The 16-bit AVP Code namespace is used to identify attributes. There
are multiple namespaces. Vendors can have their own AVP Codes
namespace which will be identified by their Vendor-ID (also known as
Enterprise-Number) and they control the assignments of their
vendor-specific AVP codes within their own namespace. The absence of
a Vendor-ID identifies the IETF IANA controlled AVP Codes namespace.
The AVP Codes and sometimes also possible values in an AVP are
controlled and maintained by IANA.
AVP Code 0 is not used. This document defines the AVP Codes 1-9.
See Section 8.1 through Section 8.9 for the assignment of the
namespace in this specification.
AVPs may be allocated following Designated Expert Review with
Specification Required [IANA] or Standards Action.
Note that PANA defines a mechanism for Vendor-Specific AVPs, where
the Vendor-Id field in the AVP header is set to a non-zero value.
Vendor-Specific AVPs codes are for Private Use and should be
encouraged instead of allocation of global attribute types, for
functions specific only to one vendor's implementation of PANA, where
no interoperability is deemed useful. Where a Vendor-Specific AVP is
implemented by more than one vendor, allocation of global AVPs should
be encouraged instead.
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 38]
Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
10.3.2. Flags
There are 16 bits in the AVP Flags field of the AVP header, defined
in Section 6.3. This document assigns bit 0 ('V'). The remaining
bits should only be assigned via a Standards Action .
10.4. AVP Values
Certain AVPs in PANA define a list of values with various meanings.
For attributes other than those specified in this section, adding
additional values to the list can be done on a First Come, First
Served basis by IANA [IANA].
10.4.1. Result-Code AVP Values
As defined in Section 8.7 the Result-Code AVP (AVP Code 7) defines
the values 0-2.
All remaining values are available for assignment via IETF Consensus
[IANA].
10.4.2. Termination-Cause AVP Values
As defined in Section 8.9, the Termination-Cause AVP (AVP Code 9)
defines the values 1, 4 and 8.
All remaining values are available for assignment via IETF Consensus
[IANA].

11. Security Considerations
The PANA protocol defines a UDP-based EAP encapsulation that runs
between two IP-enabled nodes. Various security threats that are
relevant to a protocol of this nature are outlined in [RFC4016].
Security considerations stemming from the use of EAP and EAP methods
are discussed in [RFC3748] [I-D.ietf-eap-keying]. This section
provides a discussion on the security-related issues that are related
to PANA framework and protocol design.
An important element in assessing security of PANA design and
deployment in a network is the presence of lower-layer security. In
the context of this document, lower-layers are said to be secure if
the environment provides adequate protection against spoofing and
confidentiality based on its operational needs. For example, DSL and
cdma2000 networks' lower-layer security is enabled even before
running the first PANA-based authentication. In the absence of such
a pre-established secure channel prior to running PANA, one can be
created after the successful PANA authentication using a link-layer
or network-layer cryptographic mechanism (e.g., IPsec).
11.1. General Security Measures
PANA provides multiple mechanisms to secure a PANA session.
PANA messages carry sequence numbers, which are monotonically
incremented by 1 with every new request message. These numbers are
randomly initialized at the beginning of the session, and verified
against expected numbers upon receipt. A message whose sequence
number is different than the expected one is silently discarded. In
addition to accomplishing orderly delivery of EAP messages and
duplicate elimination, this scheme also helps prevent an adversary
spoofing messages to disturb ongoing PANA and EAP sessions unless it
can also eavesdrop to synchronize on the expected sequence number.
Furthermore, impact of replay attacks is reduced as any stale message
(i.e., a request or answer with an unexpected sequence number and/or
a session identifier for a non-existing session) and any duplicate
answer are immediately discarded, and a duplicate request can trigger
transmission of the cached answer (i.e., no need to process the
request and generate a new answer).
The PANA framework defines EP which is ideally located on a network
device that can filter traffic from the PaCs before the traffic
enters the Internet/intranet. A set of filters can be used to
discard unauthorized packets, such as the initial PANA-Auth-Request
message that is received from the segment of the access network where
only the PaCs are supposed to be connected (i.e., preventing PAA
impersonation).
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 40]
Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
The protocol also provides authentication and integrity protection to
PANA messages when the used EAP method can generate cryptographic
session keys. A PANA SA is generated based on the MSK exported by
the EAP method. This SA is used for generating an AUTH AVP to
protect the PANA message header and payload (including the complete
EAP message).
The cryptographic protection prevents an adversary from acting as a
man-in-the-middle, injecting messages, replaying messages and
modifying the content of the exchanged messages. Any packet that
fails to pass the AUTH verification is silently discarded. The
earliest this protection can be enabled is when the PANA-Auth-Request
message that signals a successful authentication (EAP Success) is
generated. Starting with these messages, any subsequent PANA message
until the session gets torn down can be cryptographically protected.
The lifetime of the PANA SA is set to PANA session lifetime which is
bounded by the authorization lifetime granted by the authentication
server. An implementation MAY add a grace period to that value.
Unless the PANA session is extended by executing another EAP
authentication, the PANA SA is removed when the current session
expires.
The ability to use cryptographic protection within PANA is determined
by the used EAP method, which is generally dictated by the deployment
environment. Insecure lower-layers necessitate use of key-generating
EAP methods. In networks where lower-layers are already secured,
cryptographic protection of PANA messages is not necessary.
11.2. Initial Exchange
The initial PANA-Auth-Request and PANA-Auth-Answer exchange is
vulnerable to spoofing attacks as these messages are not
authenticated and integrity protected. In order to prevent very
basic DoS attacks an adversary should not be able to cause state
creation by sending PANA-Client-Initiation messages to the PAA. This
protection is achieved by allowing the responder (PAA) to create as
little amount of state as possible in the initial message exchange.
However, it is difficult to prevent all spoofing attacks in the
initial message exchange entirely.
11.3. EAP Methods
Eavesdropping EAP messages might cause problems when the EAP method
is weak and enables dictionary or replay attacks or even allows an
adversary to learn the long-term password directly. Furthermore, if
the optional EAP Response/Identity payload is used then it allows the
adversary to learn the identity of the PaC. In such a case a privacy
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 41]
Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
problem is prevalent.
To prevent these threats, [I-D.ietf-pana-framework] suggests using
proper EAP methods for particular environments. Depending on the
deployment environment an EAP authentication method which supports
user identity confidentiality, protection against dictionary attacks
and session key establishment must be used. It is therefore the
responsibility of the network operators and users to choose a proper
EAP method.
11.4. Cryptographic Keys
When the EAP method exports an MSK, this key is used to produce a
PANA SA with PANA_AUTH_KEY with a distinct key ID. The PANA_AUTH_KEY
is unique to the PANA session, and takes PANA-based nonce values into
computation to cryptographically separate itself from the MSK.
The PANA_AUTH_KEY is solely used for authentication and integrity
protection of the PANA messages within the designated session.
The PANA SA lifetime is bounded by the MSK lifetime. Another
execution of EAP method yields in a new MSK, and updates the PANA SA,
PANA_AUTH_KEY and key ID.
11.5. Per-packet Ciphering
Networks that are not secured at the lower-layers prior to running
PANA can rely on enabling per-packet data traffic ciphering upon
successful PANA SA establishment. The PANA framework allows
generation of cryptographic keys from the PANA SA and use the keys
with a secure association protocol to enable per-packet cryptographic
protection such as link-layer or IPsec-based ciphering
[I-D.ietf-pana-ipsec]. These mechanisms ultimately establish a
cryptographic binding between the data traffic generated by and for a
client and the authenticated identity of the client. Data traffic
can be data origin authenticated, replay and integrity protected, and
optionally encrypted using the cryptographic keys. How these keys
are generated from the PANA SA and used with a secure association
protocol is outside the scope of this document.
11.6. PAA-to-EP Communication
The PANA framework allows separation of PAA from EP. The protocol
exchange between the PAA and EP for provisioning authorized PaC
information on the EP must be protected for authentication, integrity
and replay protection.
Forsberg, et al. Expires March 9, 2008 [Page 42]
Internet-Draft PANA September 2007
11.7. Liveness Test
A PANA session is associated with a session lifetime. The session is
terminated unless it is refreshed by a new round of EAP
authentication before it expires. Therefore, at the latest a
disconnected client can be detected when its session expires. A
disconnect may also be detected earlier by using PANA ping messages.
A request message can be generated by either PaC or PAA at any time
in access phase, expecting the peer to respond with an answer
message. A successful round-trip of this exchange is a simple
verification that the peer is alive.
This test can be engaged when there is a possibility that the peer
might have disconnected (e.g., after the discontinuation of data
traffic for an extended period of time). Periodic use of this
exchange as a keep-alive requires additional care as it might result
in congestion and hence false alarms.
This exchange is cryptographically protected when a PANA SA is
available in order to prevent threats associated with the abuse of
this functionality.
Any valid PANA answer message received in response to a recently sent
request message can be taken as an indication of peer's liveness.
The PaC or PAA MAY forgo sending an explicit ping request message if
a recent exchange has already confirmed that the peer is alive.
11.8. Early Termination of a Session
The PANA protocol supports the ability for both the PaC and the PAA
to transmit a tear-down message before the session lifetime expires.
This message causes state removal, a stop of the accounting procedure
and removes the installed per-PaC state on the EP(s). This message
is cryptographically protected when PANA SA is present.
