1. Introduction
Multiple Access Protocol over SONET/SDH (MAPOS) [1][2] is a high-
speed link-layer protocol that provides multiple access capability
over SONET/SDH. Its frame format is based on the HDLC-like (High
Level Data Link Control) framing [3] for PPP. A component called a
"Frame Switch" [1] allows multiple nodes (hosts and routers) to be
connected together in a star topology to form a LAN. Using long-haul
SONET/SDH links, the nodes on such a "SONET-LAN" can span a wide
geographical area.
This document specifies the frame format for encapsulating an
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) [4] datagram in a MAPOS frame, the
method of forming IPv6 interface identifiers, the method of detecting
duplicate addresses, and the format of the Source/Target Link-layer
Addresses option field used in Neighbor Discovery messages such as
Router Solicitation, Router Advertisement, Neighbor Solicitation,
Neighbor Advertisement, and Redirect messages.
In the remainder of this document, the term "MAPOS" is used unless
the distinction between MAPOS version 1 [1] and MAPOS 16 [2] is
required.
Ogura, et. al. Informational [Page 2]
RFC 3572 IPv6 over MAPOS July 2003
2. Frame Format for Encapsulating IPv6 Datagrams
2.1. Frame Format
MAPOS uses the same HDLC-like framing as PPP-over-SONET, described in
[3]. The MAPOS frame begins and ends with a flag sequence 01111110
(0x7E), and the MAPOS frame header contains address, control, and
protocol fields. The address field contains a destination HDLC
address. In MAPOS 16, the address field is extended to 16 bits, and
the control field of MAPOS version 1 is omitted. The frame check
sequence (FCS) field is 16 bits long by default, but a 32-bit FCS may
be used optionally. Details of the MAPOS frame format are described
in [1][2].
An IPv6 datagram is encapsulated in the MAPOS frame. In the case of
encapsulating an IPv6 datagram, the protocol field must contain the
value 0x0057 (hexadecimal). The IPv6 datagram is stored in the
information field which follows immediately after the protocol field.
That is, this field contains the IPv6 header followed immediately by
the payload. Figure 1 shows the frame format. The fields are
transmitted from left to right.
+----------+----------+----------+----------+
| | | Control/ | Protocol |
| Flag | Address | Address | 16 bits |
| 01111110 | 8 bits | 8 bits | (0x0057) |
+----------+----------+----------+----------+
+-------------+------------+----------+-----------
| | | | Inter-frame
| IPv6 header | FCS | Flag | fill or next
| and payload | 16/32 bits | 01111110 | address
+-------------+------------+----------+------------
Figure 1. Frame format.
2.2. Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
The length of the information field of the MAPOS frame may vary, but
shall not exceed 65,280 (64K - 256) octets [1][2]. The default
maximum transmission unit (MTU) is 65,280 octets.
However, the MTU size may be reduced by a Router Advertisement [5]
containing an MTU option that specifies a smaller MTU, or by manual
configuration of each node. If a Router Advertisement received on a
MAPOS interface has an MTU option specifying an MTU larger than
65,280, or larger than a manually configured value, that MTU option
may be logged for the system management but must be otherwise
ignored.

2.3. Destination Address Mapping
This section specifies the method of mapping an IPv6 destination
address to the address field in the MAPOS frame header.
2.3.1. Unicast
In unicasting, the address field of a MAPOS frame contains the HDLC
address that has been assigned via NSP (Node Switch Protocol) [6] to
the MAPOS interface, which has the IPv6 unicast destination address.
In order to determine the destination HDLC address that corresponds
to an IPv6 unicast destination address, the sender uses Link-layer
Address Resolution described in [5].
2.3.2. Multicast
Address resolution is never performed on IPv6 multicast addresses.
An IPv6 multicast destination address is mapped to the address field
in the MAPOS frame header as described below for MAPOS version 1 and
MAPOS 16.
MAPOS version 1:
The address field of the MAPOS version 1 frame header contains an 8-
bit-wide destination HDLC address [1]. The least significant bit
(LSB) of the field must always be 1 to indicate the end of the field.
The most significant bit (MSB) is used to indicate whether the frame
is a unicast or a multicast frame.
In the case of an IPv6 multicast, the MSB of the address field is 1
to indicate that the frame is multicast. As described above, the LSB
of the address field is 1. The other six bits of the address field
must contain the lowest-order six bits of the IPv6 multicast address.
Figure 2 shows the address field of the MAPOS version 1 frame header
in the case of an IPv6 multicast, where D(1) through D(6) represent
the lowest-order six bits of the IPv6 multicast address. Exceptions
arise when these six bits are either all zeros or all ones. In these
cases, they should be altered to the bit sequence 111110. That is,
the address field should be 0xFD (hexadecimal).

Figure 2. Address mapping in multicasting (MAPOS version 1).
MAPOS 16:
The address field of the MAPOS 16 frame header contains the 16-bit-
wide destination HDLC address [2]. The LSB of the first octet must
always be 0 to indicate the continuation of this field, and the LSB
of the second octet must always be 1 to indicate the end of this
field. The MSB of the first octet is used to indicate whether the
frame is a unicast or a multicast frame.
In the case of an IPv6 multicast, the MSB of the first octet is 1 to
indicate that the frame is multicast. As described above, the LSB of
the first octet is 0 and the LSB of the second octet is 1. The other
13 bits of the address field must contain the lowest-order 13 bits of
the IPv6 multicast address. Figure 3 shows the address field of the
MAPOS 16 frame header in the case of an IPv6 multicast, where D(1)
through D(13) represent the lowest-order 13 bits of the IPv6
multicast address. Exceptions arise when these 13 bits are either
all zeros or all ones. In these cases, the address field should be
0xFEFD (hexadecimal).

3. Interface Identifier
This section specifies the method of forming the interface identifier
[7].
A node that has one or more MAPOS interfaces must create one or more
EUI-64 [8] based interface identifiers. Here, it should be noted
that deriving interface identifiers from HDLC addresses of MAPOS
interfaces is undesirable for the following reasons.
1. When a node is connected to a frame switch, an HDLC address is
assigned to the interface of the node from the frame switch via
NSP [6]. (In the remainder of this document, the term "MAPOS
address" is used to refer to the address.) The value of the MAPOS
address assigned to the interface depends on the combination of
the switch number of the frame switch and the port number of the
frame switch to which the interface is connected. The switch
number is required to be unique only within a MAPOS multi-switch
environment [6]; that is, there can be frame switches that have
the same switch number in different MAPOS multi-switch environment
separated by IP routers. Therefore, the uniqueness of a MAPOS
address is guaranteed only within a MAPOS multi-switch
environment.
Furthermore, if an implementation ensures that the link between
the interface of the node and the port of the frame switch is
hot-swappable, the port number of the frame switch or the frame
switch connected to the interface of the node can be changed, so
the MAPOS address assigned to the interface can also be changed
without performing a system re-start of the node.
In short, the global uniqueness of a MAPOS address is not
guaranteed, and a MAPOS address is not a built-in address but can
be changed without performing a system re-start. Thus, if an
interface identifier were derived from a MAPOS address, it could
also be changed without a system re-start. This would not follow
the recommendation in [7].
2. In the case of a point-to-point connection between two nodes, the
same MAPOS address is assigned to each interface. Specifically,
in the case of MAPOS version 1, the assigned address is 0x03 [6],
and in the case of MAPOS 16, the assigned address is 0x0003 [2].
It is not easy to achieve link-locality of the interface
identifier in a strict manner using the same Link-layer address.
For the above reasons, nodes with MAPOS interfaces must not derive
their interface identifiers from their MAPOS addresses.
Ogura, et. al. Informational [Page 6]
RFC 3572 IPv6 over MAPOS July 2003
The following are methods of forming an interface identifier in
the order of preference. These are almost the same as the methods
described in [9] except that a MAPOS address must not be used as a
source of uniqueness when an IEEE global identifier is
unavailable.
1) If an IEEE global identifier (EUI-48 or EUI-64) is available
anywhere on the node, it should be used to construct the interface
identifier due to its uniqueness. When extracting an IEEE global
identifier from another device on the node, care should be taken
to ensure that the extracted identifier is presented in canonical
ordering [10].
The only transformation from an EUI-64 identifier is to invert the
"u" bit (universal/local bit in IEEE EUI-64 terminology). For
example, for a globally unique EUI-64 identifier as shown in
Figure 4:
MSB LSB
|0 1|1 3|3 4|4 6|
|0 5|6 1|2 7|8 3|
+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
|cccccc0gcccccccc|cccccccceeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|
+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
Figure 4. Globally unique EUI-64 identifier.
where "c" are the bits of the assigned company_id, "0" is the
value of the universal/local bit to indicate global scope, "g" is
the group/individual bit, and "e" are the bits of the extension
identifier, the IPv6 interface identifier would be as shown in
Figure 5. The only change is inverting the value of the
universal/local bit.
MSB LSB
|0 1|1 3|3 4|4 6|
|0 5|6 1|2 7|8 3|
+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
|cccccc1gcccccccc|cccccccceeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|
+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
Figure 5. IPv6 interface identifier derived from a globally unique
EUI-64 identifier.
In the case of an EUI-48 identifier, it is first converted to the
EUI-64 format by inserting two octets, with hexadecimal values of
0xFF and 0xFE, in the middle of the 48-bit MAC (between the
company_id and extension-identifier portions of the EUI-48 value).
Ogura, et. al. Informational [Page 7]
RFC 3572 IPv6 over MAPOS July 2003
For example, for a globally unique 48-bit EUI-48 identifier as
shown in Figure 6:
MSB LSB
|0 1|1 3|3 4|
|0 5|6 1|2 7|
+----------------+----------------+----------------+
|cccccc0gcccccccc|cccccccceeeeeeee|eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee|
+----------------+----------------+----------------+
Figure 6. Globally unique EUI-48 identifier.
where "c" are the bits of the assigned company_id, "0" is the
value of the universal/local bit to indicate global scope, "g" is
the group/individual bit, and "e" are the bits of the extension
identifier, the IPv6 interface identifier would be as shown in
Figure 7.
MSB LSB
|0 1|1 3|3 4|4 6|
|0 5|6 1|2 7|8 3|

+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
Figure 7. IPv6 interface identifier derived from a globally unique
EUI-48 identifier.
2) If an IEEE global identifier is not available, a different source
of uniqueness should be used. Suggested sources of uniqueness
include machine serial numbers, etc. MAPOS addresses must not be
used.
In this case, the "u" bit of the interface identifier must be set
to 0.
3) If a good source of uniqueness cannot be found, it is recommended
that a random number be generated. In this case the "u" bit of
the interface identifier must be set to 0.
4. Duplicate Address Detection
Immediately after the system start-up, the MAPOS address has not yet
been assigned to a MAPOS interface. The assignment is not completed
until the adjacent frame switch, or adjacent node in the case of a
point-to-point connection between two nodes, has delivered the MAPOS
address to the interface via NSP [6]. Until then, no data
transmission can be performed on the interface. Thus, a node must
Ogura, et. al. Informational [Page 8]
RFC 3572 IPv6 over MAPOS July 2003
conduct duplicate address detection [11] on all unicast addresses of
MAPOS interfaces after the MAPOS address assignment has been
completed by NSP.
5. Source/Target Link-layer Address Option
As specified in [5], the Source/Target Link-layer Address option is
one of the options included in Neighbor Discovery messages. In [5],
the length of the Source/Target Link-layer Address option field is
specified in units of 8 octets. However, in the case of MAPOS, the
length of the address field is 2 octets (MAPOS 16) or 1 octet (MAPOS
version 1)[1][2]. Thus, if the exact form of the address field is
embedded in the Link-layer Address field of the Source/Target Link-
layer Address option field, the total length of the option field is 4
octets (MAPOS 16) or 3 octets (MAPOS version 1), both of which are
shorter than 8 octets.
For the above reason, in the case of MAPOS, the Link-layer Address
field of the Source/Target Link-layer Address option must be extended
with zeros in order to extend the length of the option field to 8
octets, and the Length field must be set to 1 as shown below.
MAPOS version 1:
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

6. Security Considerations
In MAPOS, a link-layer address (MAPOS address) is assigned to a
network interface by a frame switch via NSP; unlike other link-layer
protocols such as Ethernet that use a built-in address on a network
interface. Security considerations derived from this are described
in 6.1 and 6.2. Because there is no link-layer security in MAPOS,
the same security considerations as those of other link-layer
protocols would be applied to other points.
6.1. Issues concerning Link-layer Addresses
6.1.1. Protection against fraudulent reception of traffic
In MAPOS, a MAPOS address is assigned by a frame switch, and it
consists of the switch number and the port number of the switch to
which the network interface is connected. (In the case of a point-
to-point connection between two nodes, a fixed address is assigned to
their network interfaces.) This brings the following advantages.
1. The value of the MAPOS address of a MAPOS network interface
indicates the location of the interface in the MAPOS network. In
other words, the value itself of the destination address of a
MAPOS frame defines the actual location of the network interface
to which the frame should be finally delivered. Therefore, as
long as MAPOS addresses of network interfaces of nodes that have
Ogura, et. al. Informational [Page 10]
RFC 3572 IPv6 over MAPOS July 2003
been connected to the network through proper administrative
process are held and frames are delivered only to those addresses,
other nodes cannot receive frames unless their network interfaces
are connected to the same ports of frame switches as those to
which network interfaces of properly administered nodes are
connected. This makes fraudulent reception of traffic difficult.
2. In the case where MAPOS addresses are not administered as
mentioned above, it is possible that a malicious node could hijack
traffic by spoofing its IPv6 address in a response to an IPv6
Neighbor Discovery. Even in this case, the node must advertise
the true MAPOS address of its network interface in the response so
that it can receive successive frames. This makes it easy to
pinpoint the location of the host.
6.1.2. Protection against improper traffic
A MAPOS frame does not have a field for including its sender's
address. Therefore, in the case where a node sends one-way improper
traffic maliciously or accidentally, there is no way to obtain the
sender's MAPOS address from the traffic and this leads to difficulty
in identifying the node (because source IP addresses might be
forged).
An effective way to alleviate the difficulty is to moderate the size
of MAPOS multi-switch environment [6]. A common approach is to
separate it using IP routers. This makes it easy to identify the
node sending improper traffic within the multi-switch environment.
To secure the environment against improper traffic from outside it,
boundary IP routers need to block it using packet filtering based on
IP layer information.
6.2. Uniqueness of Interface Identifiers
Global uniqueness of a MAPOS address is not guaranteed, and a MAPOS
address is not a built-in address but can be changed without
performing a system re-start if an implementation ensures that the
link between the network interface of the node and the port of the
frame switch is hot-swappable. Thus, an interface identifier must
not be derived from a MAPOS address in order to ensure that the
interface identifier is not changed without a system re-start.
As a consequence, in IP Version 6 over MAPOS, the existence of
network interfaces other than MAPOS that have IEEE global identifier
based addresses has great importance in creating interface
identifiers. However, it may be common for there to be no such
interfaces on a node, so a different source of uniqueness must be
used. Therefore, sufficient care should be taken to prevent
Ogura, et. al. Informational [Page 11]
RFC 3572 IPv6 over MAPOS July 2003
duplication of interface identifiers. At present, there is no
protection against duplication through accident or forgery.
