A Framework for Maintaining Backward Compatibility

Status of this Memo

This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does

Summary

The Extended Internet Protocol (EIP) provides a framework for solving
the problem of address space exhaustion with a new addressing and
routing scheme, yet maintaining maximum backward compatibility with
current IP. EIP can substantially reduce the amount of modifications
needed to the current Internet systems and greatly ease the
difficulties of transition. This is an "idea" paper and discussion is
strongly encouraged on Big-Internet@munnari.oz.au.

Introduction

The Internet faces two serious scaling problems: address exhaustion
and routing explosion [1-2]. The Internet will run out of Class B
numbers soon and the 32-bit IP address space will be exhausted
altogether in a few years time. The total number of IP networks will
also grow to a point where routing algorithms will not be able to
perform routing based a flat network number.

A number of short-term solutions have been proposed recently which
attempt to make more efficient use of the the remaining address space
and to ease the immediate difficulties [3-5]. However, it is
important that a long term solution be developed and deployed before
the 32-bit address space runs out.

An obvious approach to this problem is to replace the current IP with
a new internet protocol that has no backward compatibility with the
current IP. A number of proposals have been put forward: Pip[7],
Nimrod [8], TUBA [6] and SIP [14]. However, as IP is really the
cornerstone of the current Internet, replacing it with a new "IP"
requires fundamental changes to many aspects of the Internet system
(e.g., routing, routers, hosts, ARP, RARP, ICMP, TCP, UDP, DNS, FTP).

Migrating to a new "IP" in effect creates a new "Internet". The

development and deployment of such a new "Internet" would take a very
large amount of time and effort. In particular, in order to maintain
interoperability between the old and new systems during the
transition period, almost all upgraded systems have to run both the
new and old versions in parallel and also have to determine which
version to use depending on whether the other side is upgraded or
not.

Let us now have a look at the detailed changes that will be required
to replace the current IP with a completely new "IP" and to maintain
the interoperability between the new and the old systems.

1) Border Routers: Border routers have to be upgraded and to provide
address translation service for IP packets across the boundaries.
Note that the translation has to be done on the outgoing IP
packets as well as the in-coming packets to IP hosts.

2) Subnet Routers: Subnet Routers have to be upgraded and have to
deal with both the new and the old packet formats.

3) Hosts: Hosts have to be upgraded and run both the new and the
old protocols in parallel. Upgraded hosts also have to determine
whether the other side is upgraded or not in order to choose the
correct protocol to use.

4) DNS: The DNS has to be modified to provide mapping for domain
names and new addresses.

5) ARP/RARP: ARP/RARP have to be modified, and upgraded hosts and
routers have to deal with both the old and new ARP/RARP packets.

6) ICMP: ICMP has to be modified, and the upgraded routers have to
be able to generate both both old and new ICMP packets. However,
it may be impossible for a backbone router to determine
whether the packet comes from an upgraded host or an IP host but
translated by the border router.

7) TCP/UDP Checksum: The pseudo headers may have to be modified to
use the new addresses.

8) FTP: The DATA PORT (PORT) command has to be changed to pass new
addresses.

In this paper, we argue that an evolutionary approach can extend the
addressing space yet maintain backward compatibility. The Extended
Internet Protocol (EIP) we present here can be used as a framework by
which a new routing and addressing scheme may solve the problem of
address exhaustion yet maintain maximum backward compatibility to

current IP.

EIP has a number of very desirable features:

1) EIP allows the Internet to have virtually unlimited number of
network numbers and over 10**9 hosts in each network.

2) EIP is flexible to accommodate most routing and addressing
schemes, such as those proposed in Nimrod [8], Pip [7], NSAP [9]
and CityCodes [10]. EIP also allows new fields such as Handling
Directive [7] or CI [11] to be added.

3) EIP can substantially reduce the amount of modifications to
current systems and greatly ease the difficulties in transition.
In particular, it does not require the upgraded hosts and subnet
routers to run two set of protocols in parallel.

4) EIP requires no changes to all assigned IP addresses and subnet
structures in local are networks. and requires no modifications
to ARP/RARP, ICMP, TCP/UDP checksum.

5) EIP can greatly ease the difficulties of transition. During the
transition period, no upgrade is required to the subnet routers.
EIP hosts maintain full compatibility with IP hosts within the
same network, even after the transition period. During the
transition period, IP hosts can communicate with any hosts in
other networks via a simple translation service.

In the rest of the paper, IP refers to the current Internet Protocol
and EIP refers to the Extended Internet Protocol (EIP is pronounced
as "ape" - a step forward in the evolution :-).

Figure 1: EIP Header Format

Version: 4 bits

The Version field is identical to that of IP. This field is set
purely for compatibility with IP hosts. It is not checked by EIP
hosts.

IHL: 4 bits

Internet Header Length is identical to that of IP. IHL is set to
the length of EIP header purely for compatibility with IP. This
field is not checked by EIP hosts. see below the EIP Extension
Length field for more details)

Type of Service: 8 bits

The ToS field is identical to that of IP.

Total Length: 16 bits

The Total Length field is identical to that of IP.

Identification: 16 bits

The Identification field is identical to that of IP.

Flags: 3 bits

The Flags field is identical to that of IP.

Fragment Offset: 13 bits

The Fragment Offset field is identical to that of IP.

Time to Live: 8 bits

The Time to Live field is identical to that of IP.

Protocol: 8 bits

The Protocol field is identical to that of IP.

Header Checksum: 16 bits

The Header Checksum field is identical to that of IP.

Source Host Number: 32 bits

The Source Host Number field is used for identifying the
source host but is unique only within the source network
(the equivalent of the host portion of the source IP address).

Destination Host Number: 32 bits

The Destination Host Number field is used for identifying the
destination host but is unique only within the destination network
(the equivalent of the host portion of the destination IP address).

EIP ID: 8 bits

The EIP ID field equals to 0x8A. The EIP ID value is chosen
in such a way that, to IP hosts and IP routers, an EIP appears
to be an IP packet with a new IP option of following parameters:

COPY CLASS NUMBER LENGTH DESCRIPTION
---- ----- ------ ------ -----------
1 0 TBD var

Option: Type=TBD

EIP Extension Length: 8 bits

The EIP Extension Length field indicates the total length
of the EIP ID field, EIP Extension Length field and the
EIP Extension field in octets. The maximum length that the
IHL field above can specify is 60 bytes, which is considered
too short in future. EIP hosts actually use the EIP Extension
Length field to calculate the total header length:

The total header length = EIP Extension Length + 20.

The maximum header length of an EIP packet is then 276 bytes.

EIP Extension: variable

The EIP Extension field holds the Source Network Number,
Destination Network Number and other fields. The format
of the Extension field is not specified here. In its simplest
form, it can be used to hold two fixed size fields as the
Source Network Number and Destination Network Number as the
extension to the addressing space. Since the Extension
field is variable in length, it can accommodate almost any
routing and addressing schemes. For example, the Extension
field can be used to hold "Routing Directive" etc specified
in Pip [7] or "Endpoint IDs" suggested in Nimrod [8], or the
"CityCode" [10]. It can also hold other fields such as the
"Handling Directive" [7] or "Connectionless ID" [11].

EIP achieves maximum backward compatibility with IP by making the
extended space appear to be an IP option to the IP hosts and routers.

When an IP host receives an EIP packets, the EIP Extension field is
safely ignored as it appears to the IP hosts as an new, therefore an
unknown, IP option. As a result, there is no need for translation
for in-coming EIP packets destined to IP hosts and there is also no
need for subnet routers to be upgraded during the transition period
see later section for more details).

EIP hosts or routers can, however, determine whether a packet is an
IP packet or an EIP packet by examining the EIP ID field, whose
position is fixed in the header.

The EIP Extension field holds the Source and Destination Network
Numbers, which are only used for communications between different
networks. For communications within the same network, the Network
Numbers may be omitted. When the Extension field is omitted, there is
little difference between an IP packet and an EIP packet. Therefore,
EIP hosts can maintain completely compatibility with IP hosts within
one network.

In EIP, the Network Numbers and Host Numbers are separate and the IP
address field is used for the Host Number in EIP. There are a number
of advantages:

1) It maintains full compatibility between IP hosts and EIP hosts
for communications within one network. Note that the Network
Number is not needed for communications within one network. A

host can omit the Extension field if it does not need any other
information in the Extension field, when it communicates with
another host within the same network.

2) It allows the IP subnet routers to route EIP packet by treating
the Host Number as the IP address during the transition period,
therefore the subnet routers are not required to be updated
along the border routers.

3) It allows ARP/RARP to work with both EIP and IP hosts without
any modifications.

4) It allows the translation at the border routers much easier.
During the transition period when the IP addresses are still
unique, the network portion of the IP addresses can be directly
extracted and mapped to EIP Network Numbers.

Modifications to IP Systems

In this section, we outline the modifications to the IP systems that
are needed for transition to EIP. Because of the similarity between
the EIP and IP, the amount of modifications needed to current systems
are substantially reduced.

1) Network Numbers: Each network has to be assigned a new EIP Network
Number based on the addressing scheme used. The mapping
between the IP network numbers and the EIP Network Numbers can
be used for translation service (see below).

2) Host Numbers: There is no need for assigning EIP Host Numbers.
All existing hosts can use their current IP addresses as their
EIP Host Numbers. New machines may be allocated any number from
the 32-bit Host Number space since the structure posed on IP
addressing is no longer necessary. However, during the transition,
allocation of EIP Host Numbers should still follow the IP
addressing rule, so that the EIP Host Numbers are still globally
unique and can still be interpreted as IP addresses. This will
allow a more gradual transition to EIP (see below).

3) Translation Service: During the transition period when the EIP
Host Numbers are still unique, an address translation service
can be provided to IP hosts that need communicate with hosts in
other networks cross the upgraded backbone networks. The
translation service can be provided by the border routers. When a
border router receives an IP packet, it obtains the Destination
Network Number by looking up in the mapping table between IP
network numbers and EIP Network Numbers. The border router then
adds the Extension field with the Source and Destination Network

Numbers into the packet, and forwards to the backbone networks.
It is only necessary to translate the out-going IP packets to
the EIP packets. There is no need to translate the EIP packets
back to IP packets even when they are destined to IP hosts.
This is because that the Extension field in the EIP packets
appears to IP hosts just an unknown IP option and is ignored by
the IP hosts during the processing.

4) Border Routers: The new EIP Extension has to be implemented and
routing has to be done based on the Network Number in the EIP
Extension field. The border routers may have to provide the
translation service for out-going IP packets during the transition
period.

5) Subnet Routers: No modifications are required during the transition
period when EIP Host Numbers (which equals to the IP
addresses) are still globally unique. The subnet routing is carried
out based on the EIP Host Numbers and when the EIP Host
IDs are still unique, subnet routers can determine, by treating
the EIP Host Number as the IP addresses, whether a packet is
destined to remote networks or not and forward correctly. The
Extension field in the EIP packets also appear to the IP subnet
routers an unknown IP option and is ignored in the processing.
However, subnet routers eventually have to implement the EIP
Extension and carry out routing based on Network Numbers when
EIP Host Numbers are no longer globally unique.

6) Hosts: The EIP Extension has to be implemented. routing has to
be done based on the Network Number in the EIP Extension field,
and also based on the Host Number and subnet mask if subnetting
is used. IP hosts may communication with any hosts within the
same network at any time. During the transition period when the
EIP Host Numbers are still unique, IP hosts can communicate with
any hosts in other network via the translation service.

7) DNS: A new resource record (RR) type "N" has to be added for EIP
Network Numbers. The RR type "A", currently used for IP
addresses, can still be used for EIP Host Numbers. RR type "N"
entries have to be added and RR type "PTR" to be updated. All
other entries remain unchanged.

8) ARP/RARP: No modifications are required. The ARP and RARP are
used for mapping between EIP Host Numbers and physical
addresses.

9) ICMP: No modifications are required.

10) TCP/UDP Checksum: No modifications are required. The pseudo

header includes the EIP Source and Destination IDs instead of
the source and destination IP addresses.

11) FTP: No modifications are required during the transition period
when the IP hosts can still communicate with hosts in other
networks via the translation service. After the transition period,
however, the "DATA Port (Port)" command has to be modified to
pass the port number only and ignore the IP address. A new FTP
command may be created to pass both the port number and the EIP
address to allow a third party to be involved in the file
transfer.

Transition to EIP

In this section, we outline a plan for transition to EIP.

EIP can greatly reduce the complexity of transition. In particular,
there is no need for the updated hosts and subnet routers to run two
protocols in parallel in order to achieve interoperability between
old and new systems. During the transition, IP hosts can still
communicate with any machines in the same network without any
changes. When the EIP Host Numbers (i.e., the 32-bit IP addresses)
are still globally unique, IP hosts can contact hosts in other
networks via translation service provided in the border routers.

The transition goes as follows:

Phase 0:
a) Choose an addressing and routing scheme for the Internet.
b) Implement the routing protocol.
c) Assign new Network Numbers to existing networks.

Phase 1:
a) Update all backbone routers and border routers.
b) Update DNS servers.
c) Start translation service.

Phase 2:
a) Update first the key hosts such as mail servers, DNS servers,
FTP servers and central machines.
b) Update gradually the rest of the hosts.

Phase 3:
a) Update subnet routers
b) Withdraw the translation service.

The translation service can be provided as long as the Host IDs
(i.e., the 32-bit IP address) are still globally unique. When the IP

address space is exhausted, the translation service will be withdrawn
and the remaining IP hosts can only communicate with hosts within the
the same network. At the same time, networks can use any numbers in
the 32-bit space for addressing their hosts.

Related Work

A recent proposal called IPAE by Hinden and Crocker also attempts to
minimize the modifications to the current IP system yet to extend the
addressing space [12]. IPAE uses encapsulation so that the extended
space is carried as IP data. However, it has been found that the 64
bits IP data returned by an ICMP packet is too small to hold the
Global IP addresses. Thus, when a router receives an ICMP generated
by an old IP host, it is not able to convert it into a proper ICMP
packet. More details can be found in [13].

Discussions

EIP does not necessary increase the header length significantly as
most of the fields in the current IP will be still needed in the new
internet protocol. There are debates as to whether fragmentation and
header checksum are necessary in the new internet protocol but no
consensus has been reached.

EIP assumes that IP hosts and routers ignore unknown IP option
silently as required by [15,16]. Some people have expressed some
concerns as to whether current IP routers and hosts in the Internet
can deal with unknown IP options properly.

In order to look into the issues further, we carried out a number of
experiments over the use of IP option. We selected 35 hosts over 30
countries across the Internet. A TCP test program (based on ttcp.c)
then transmitted data to the echo port (tcp port 7) of each of the
hosts. Two tests were carried out for each host, one with an unknown
option (type 0x8A, length 40 bytes) and the other without any
options.

It is difficult to ensure that the conditions under which the two
tests run are identical but we tried to make them as close as
possible. The two tests (test-opt and test-noopt) run on the same
machine a Sun4) in parallel, i.e., "test-opt& ; test-noopt&" and then
again in the reverse order, i.e., "test-noopt& ; test-opt&", so each
test pair actually run twice. Each host was ping'ed before the tests
so that the domain name information was cached before the name
lookup.

The experiments were carried out at three sites: UCL, Bellcore and
Cambridge University. The tcp echo throughput (KB/Sec) results are

listed in Appendix.

The results show that the IP option was dealt with properly and there
is no visible performance difference under the test setup.
