-Internet-Draft anycast tunneling and relay protocol March 2007
-
-
-Abstract
-
- The anycast tunneling and relay protocol (anytun) defines a protocol
- used for communication between unicast clients and anycast servers.
- It can be used for tunneling information between 2 clients over the
- anycast servers or in relay mode to transmit data form the client
- over the anycast servers to a third party not using the protocol and
- vice versa. Unlike other tunneling protocols like GRE or IPIP
- tunnels which indeed will work with anycast as well, anytun directly
- includes cryptography and authentication. In relay mode it also
- supports source NAT with integrated NAT transversal. It is intended
- to deliver a high performance and reliability solution for tunneling
- and relaying of data over servers, where direct client to client
- connections are not possible or not wanted.

-1. Introduction
-
- anytun defines a Host Anycast Service as defined in rfc1546. It uses
- a peer-to-peer achitecture, with anycast servers and unicast clients.
- It can be used to build high scalable and redundant tunnel services.
- It also has a relay mode, that makes it possible, that only one of
- the connection endpoints has to use the anytun protocol. This can be
- used to make connections through Firewalls or behind a NAT Router
-
- RFC3068 [1] DTD.

-2. Operation modes
-
- This section gives an overview of possible operation modes und usage
- scenarios. Please note, that the protocols used in the figures are
- only examples and that anytun itself does not care about either
- transport protocols or encapsulated protocols. Routing and network
- address translation is not done by anytun. Each implemetation MAY
- choose it's own way of doing this task (e.g. using functions provided
- by the operating system). Anytun is used to establish and controll
- tunnnels, to encapsulate and encrypt data.

-
- In tunneling mode the payload of the anytun packet is transmitted
- from one unicast host to the anycast server. This server makes a
- routing descision based on the underlying protocol and transmits a
- new anytun package to one or more clients depending on the routing
- descition. The server MAY also route the packet to a directly
- connected network or a service running on the server, but please
- note, that this is only usefull for anycast host services like DNS
- and that the services HAVE TO be running on all servers in order to
- work.

-
- Figure 2
-
- In open tunnel mode only one of two clients talking to each other
- over the servers MUST use the anytun protocol. When a client using
- the anytun protocol wants to tunnel data, it is building a connection
- to the anycast servers using the anytun protocol. The anycast
- servers relay the encapsulated packages directly to the destination
- without using the anytun protocol. The source address of the
- datagramm HAS TO be changed to the anycast address of the server.
- The anytun servers act like a source NAT router, therefor for the
- destination it saems that it is talking to the client directly.
-
-2.2. Transport modes
-
- Anytun does not define wich lower layer protocols HAVE TO be used,
- but it's most likely used on top of udp. This section should only
- discuss some issues on udp in combination with anycasting and
- tunnels.

- Figure 3
-
- When using UDP no flow controll or retransmission is done, neigther
- by UDP nor anytun. The encapsulated protocol HAS TO take care of
- this tasks if needed. UDP however has a checksum of the complete udp
- datagram, so a packet gets discarded if there is a biterror in the
- payload

-
-
- The difference between normal UDP and lightUDP is, that the udp size
- is not set to the length of the full packet, but to the lenght of the
- data used for the checksum and therefor the checksum is only
- calculated for that part. When using lightUDP, the lenght HAS tO be
- set to the udp header length + the anytun header lenght. So there is
- no error correction or detection done on the payload. This can be
- usefull if realtime data is beeing transimittet or the tunneled
- protocol does error correction/detection by itself.
-
-2.2.3. Fragmentation
-
- The only way of fully supporting fragmentation would be to syncronise
- fragments between all anycast servers. This is considered to be to
- much overhead, so there are two non perfect solutions for this
- problems. Either fragmentation HAS TO be disabled or if not all
- fragments arrive at the same server the ip datagramm HAS TO be
- discarded. As routing changes are not expected to occure very
- frequently, the encapsulated protocol can do a retransmission and all
- fragments will arrive at the new server.
