Design Philosophy

PCP design philosophy is best captured in ​Stuart Cheshire's slides from IETF79 (Beijing).

Why isn't existing protocol "X" already suitable for PCP's use case?

(Note: Some materials that may be useful in answering this question are as follows. A 2007 analysis and comparison of NAT control protocols is ​Survey of Middlebox Control Protocols and its presentation in ​slides 8-20. Also see the 2009 ​Review of NAT Control Protocols and ​slide 5.)

  1. UPnP IGD:1 (​http://www.upnp.org/specs/gw/UPnP-gw-WANIPConnection-v1-Service.pdf)
    • no support for IPv6
    • no support for managing lifetimes of implicit dynamic mappings (PCP "PEER" opcode)
    • no mechanism for detecting NAT state loss (PCP "Epoch" time)
    • data model assumes host has complete control of the NAT (e.g., client dictates external port number and mapping duration)
    • discovery uses multicast, which makes it vulnerable to discovering the wrong NAT gateway (though the same protocol could also be used with a different discovery mechanism)
    • XML over TCP is heavy (requesting external IP address takes 42 packets, requesting a port mapping is typically a 14-packet exchange, for a total of 56 packets, compared to 2 packets using PCP)
  2. UPnP IGD:2 (​http://upnp.org/specs/gw/UPnP-gw-WANIPConnection-v2-Service.pdf)
    • no support for NAT64, NAT46, or NAT66
    • no support for managing lifetimes of implicit dynamic mappings (PCP "PEER" opcode)
    • no mechanism for detecting NAT state loss (PCP "Epoch" time)(fixed in UPnP Device Architecture 1.1 but which is optional for IGD v2)
    • data model assumes host has complete control of the NAT (e.g., client dictates mapping duration)
    • To remedy the deficiency of IGD 1, IGD 2 adds the new AddAnyPortMapping operation. Unfortunately the IGD 2 specification also cautions client writers not to depend on it actually working: "AddAnyPortMapping NOTE: Not all NAT implementations will support InternalPort values that are different from ExternalPort." So in principle IGD 2 has this capability, but in reality it's optional whether it actually works on any given device, making it infeasible to make a client that depends on it. (this seems to be a questionable interpretation of the specs: a compliant v2 device is REQUIRED to not restrict port mappings to ExternalPort and InternalPort values being the same, the corresponding error code is defined only for AddPortMapping with a MUST NOT)
    • discovery uses multicast, which makes it vulnerable to discovering the wrong NAT gateway (though the same protocol could also be used with a different discovery mechanism)
    • XML over TCP is heavy
  3. NAT-PMP (draft-cheshire-nat-pmp)
    • no IPv6 support
    • no support for managing lifetimes of implicit dynamic mappings (PCP "PEER" opcode)
    • assumes the default gateway is the NAT-PMP device
    • doesn't provide a lifetime for the public IP address
  4. Diameter NAT Control Application (draft-ietf-dime-nat-control)
  5. NSIS NSLP (RFC5973)
    • complex
  6. MIDCOM (RFC3304)
    • uses SNMP, which requires a library
    • intended for service providers to control NATs, not subscribers to control NATs
  7. SOCKS, TCP only, IPv4 only
  8. SOCKSv5 (RFC1928), forces re-writing of packet headers (bad for firewalling), reverse SOCKSv5 proxy not fully specified
  9. ETSI Ia (ETSI ES 283 018)
  10. ETSI Gq' (ETSI TS 183017)
  11. ITU Rs (ITU-T Q.3321)
  12. ITU Rw (ITU-T Q.3303.3, RFC5431)
  13. Diameter Rx+
  14. Diameter Gx+
  15. STUN (RFC5389)
  16. RSIP (RFC3103)
  17. ALD (draft-woodyatt-ald)
  18. NLS (draft-shore-nls-tl)
  19. AFWC (draft-shore-afwc)
