Internet-Draft ASAP & ENRP Common Parameters May 2008
1. Introduction
Aggregate Server Access Protocol (ASAP) [I-D.ietf-rserpool-asap] in
conjunction with the Endpoint Handlespace Redundancy Protocol (ENRP)
[I-D.ietf-rserpool-enrp] provides a high availability data transfer
mechanism over IP networks.
Both protocols work together and so share many common parameters used
in message formats. This document details the common message
parameters shared between the two protocols. This document provides
parameter formats only, for procedures and message composition please
refer to the respective [I-D.ietf-rserpool-asap] and
[I-D.ietf-rserpool-enrp] documents.
1.1. Conventions
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 ASAP & ENRP Common Parameters May 2008
2. Parameters in General
All parameters described below MUST be in Network Byte Order (a.k.a.
Big Endian, i.e., the most significant byte first) during
transmission.
Please note that messages in both ENRP and ASAP are often composed of
multiple parameters. These parameters may also be nested. In such a
case a nested parameter will include the length of the padding
between the nested parameters but not the last padding.

Parameter Type: 16 bits (unsigned integer)
The Type field is a 16 bit identifier of the type of parameter.
It takes a value of 0 to 65534.
The value of 65535 is reserved for IETF-defined extensions.
Values other than those defined in specific ENRP parameter
description are reserved by IETF. (Additional types, when needed,
will be defined in the future through appropriate IETF/IANA
procedures.)
The Parameter Types are encoded such that the highest-order two
bits specify the action that must be taken if the processing
endpoint does not recognize the Parameter Type.
00 Stop processing this ENRP or ASAP message and discard it, do
not process any further parameters within it.
01 Stop processing this ENRP or ASAP message and discard it, do
not process any further parameters within it, and report the
unrecognized parameter in an 'Unrecognized Parameter' error
(see Section 3.12).
10 Skip this parameter and continue processing.
11 Skip this parameter and continue processing, but report the
unrecognized parameter in an 'Unrecognized Parameter' error
(see Section 3.12).

Internet-Draft ASAP & ENRP Common Parameters May 2008
Parameter Length: 16 bits (unsigned integer)
The Parameter Length field contains the size of the parameter in
bytes, including the Parameter Type, Parameter Length, and
Parameter Value fields. Thus, a parameter with a zero-length
Parameter Value field would have a Length field of 4.
The total length of a parameter (including Type, Parameter Length
and Value fields) MUST be a multiple of 4 bytes. If the length of
the parameter is not a multiple of 4 bytes, the sender MUST pad
the parameter at the end (i.e., after the Parameter Value field)
with all zero bytes. The length of this padding is not included
in the Parameter Length field. A sender MUST NOT pad with more
than 3 bytes. The receiver MUST ignore the padding bytes.
Parameter Value: variable-length.
The Parameter Value field contains the actual information to be
transferred in the parameter.
Parameter Padding: variable-length.
The Parameter Padding as described above.

Cause Length: 16 bits (unsigned integer)
Set to the size of the parameter in bytes, including the Cause
Code, Cause Length, and Cause-Specific Information fields, but not
including any padding at the end of this error cause TLV.
Cause-specific Information: variable length
This field carries the details of the error condition.
The following subsections (Section 3.12.1 - Section 3.12.9) define
specific error causes.
3.12.1. Unspecified Error
This error cause is used to report an unspecified error by the
sender. There is no cause specific information.
Stewart, et al. Expires November 30, 2008 [Page 17]
Internet-Draft ASAP & ENRP Common Parameters May 2008
3.12.2. Unrecognized Parameter Error
This error cause is used to report an unrecognized parameter. The
complete unrecognized parameter TLV is included as cause specific
information. If a message contains multiple unrecognized parameters,
multiple error causes are used.
3.12.3. Unrecognized Message Error
This error cause is used to report an unrecognized message. The
unrecognized message TLV is included as cause specific information.
3.12.4. Invalid Values Error
This error cause is used to report one or more invalid values found
in a received parameter. The offending TLV that contains the invalid
value(s) is included as cause specific information.
3.12.5. Non-unique PE Identifier Error
This error cause is used by an ENRP server to indicate to a
registering PE that the PE Identifier it chooses has already been
used by another PE in the pool. There is no cause specific
information.
3.12.6. Inconsistent Pool Policy Error
This error cause is used by an ENRP server to indicate to a
registering PE that the Pool Policy it chooses does not match the
overall policy of the pool. A Pool Member Selection Policy TLV (see
Section 3.8) that indicates the overall pool policy is included as
cause specific information.
3.12.7. Lack of Resources Error
This error cause is used to indicate that the sender does not have
certain resources to perform a requested function. There is no cause
specific information.
3.12.8. Inconsistent Transport Type Error
This error cause is used by an ENRP server to indicate to a
registering PE that the User Transport it chooses does not match the
overall user transport of the pool. A Transport TLV that indicates
the overall pool user transport type is included as cause specific
information.
Stewart, et al. Expires November 30, 2008 [Page 18]
Internet-Draft ASAP & ENRP Common Parameters May 2008
3.12.9. Inconsistent Data/Control Configuration Error
This error cause is used by an ENRP server to indicate to a
registering PE that the Transport Use field in the User Transport it
sent in its registration is inconsistent to the pool's overall data/
control channel configuration. There is no cause specific
information.
3.12.10. Rejected due to security considerations
This error cause is used by any endpoint to indicate a rejection of a
request due to a failure in security credentials or authorizations.
3.12.11. Unknown Pool Handle Error
This error cause is used by an ENRP server to indicate to a PE or PU
that the requested pool is unknown by the server. There is no cause
specific information.

4. Common Message Formats
The figure below illustrates the common format for all ASAP and ENRP
messages. Each message is formatted with a Message Type field, a
message-specific Flag field, a Message Length field, and a Value
field.
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
: :
: Message Value :
: :
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Message Type: 8 bits (unsigned integer)
This field identifies the type of information contained in the
Message Value field. It takes a value from 0 to 254. The value
of 255 is reserved for future use as an extension field.
Message Types are encoded such that the highest-order two bits
specify the action that must be taken if the message receiver does
not recognize the Message Type.
00 Stop processing this message and discard it.
01 Stop processing this message and discard it, and report the
unrecognized message in an 'Unrecognized Message' error (see
Section 3.12.3).
10 reserved.
11 reserved.
Message Flags: 8 bits
The usage of these bits depends on the message type as given by
the Message Type. Unless otherwise specified, they are set to
zero on transmit and are ignored on receipt.
Message Length: 16 bits (unsigned integer)
This value represents the size of the message in bytes including
the Message Type, Message Flags, Message Length, and Message Value
fields. Therefore, if the Message Value field is zero-length, the
Length field will be set to 4.
Note, the value in Message Length field will NOT cover any padding
at the end of this message.
Stewart, et al. Expires November 30, 2008 [Page 22]
Internet-Draft ASAP & ENRP Common Parameters May 2008
Message Value: variable length
The Message Value field contains the actual information to be
transferred in the message. The usage and format of this field is
dependent on the Message Type.
The total length of a message (including Type, Length and Value
fields) MUST be a multiple of 4 bytes. If the length of the
message is not a multiple of 4 bytes, the sender MUST pad the
message with all zero bytes and this padding is not included in
the message length field. The sender should never pad with more
than 3 bytes. The receiver MUST ignore the padding bytes.

5. IANA Considerations
[NOTE to RFC-Editor:
"RFCXXXX" is to be replaced by the RFC number you assign this
document.
]
This document (RFCXXX) is the reference for all registrations
described in this section. All registrations need to be listed on an
RSerPool specific page.
5.1. A New Table for RSerPool Parameter Types
RSerPool Parameter Types have to be maintained by IANA. Thirteen
initial values should be assigned by IANA as described in Table 1.
This requires a new table "RSerPool Parameter Types":

+------------+------------------------------+
For registering at IANA an RSerPool Parameter Type in this table a
request has to be made to assign such a number. This number must be
unique. The "Specification Required" policy of [RFC5226] MUST be
applied.

5.2. A New Table for RSerPool Error Causes
RSerPool Error Causes have to be maintained by IANA. Eleven initial
values should be assigned by IANA as described in Table 2. This
requires a new table "RSerPool Error Causes":
+------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| Cause Code Value | Cause Code |
+------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| 0x0 | Unspecified Error |
| | |
| 0x1 | Unrecognized Parameter |
