Dual-Stack Access Models in a PPPoE Network

IPv4 and IPv6 Dual Stack in a PPPoE Access Network

In a dual-stack architecture with a PPPoE access network that connects the CPE to the BNG, IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity are provided over a single PPP logical link. The PPP IPv4 control protocol (IPCP) and the IPv6 control protocol (IPv6CP) provide independent IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity over the logical link.

The BNG and the CPE handle both IPCP and IPv6CP identically and simultaneously over a single PPP connection. The BNG or the CPE can open and close any Network Control Protocol (NCP) session without affecting the other sessions. This capability allows for a dynamic setup where IPv4 (family inet) and IPv6 (family inet6) sessions can be brought up and down individually. As long as one family is active, the subscriber remains active.

Figure 1 shows a dual-stack interface stack in a PPPoE access network. The IPv4 family (inet) and the IPv6 family (inet6) can reside on the same PPPoE logical interfaces. The family inet and family inet6 parts of dynamic profiles are applied, and services are activated when each individual family is negotiated.

Support for Demultiplexing Interfaces

IPv4 and IPv6 dual stack is supported on VLAN demultiplexing (demux) interfaces. Dual stack is not supported on IP demux interfaces.

Determining the Status of CPE in a PPPoE Access Network

In a PPPoE access network, you can enable keepalives to determine the status of the CPE.

IPV6 Address Provisioning in the PPPoE Access Network

IPv6CP negotiates the interface identifier, which can be used to provision link-local addresses that are used for direct connectivity between the BNG and the CPE. Because PPPoE negotiates only interface IDs and does not negotiate IPv6 addresses, PPPoE relies on other protocols for addressing. The protocols you can use are DHCPv6 and NDRA.

Authentication in a PPPoE Access Network

In a PPPoE network, you can use PAP and CHAP to identify and authenticate the CPE and subscriber sessions.

You can also use AAA for authentication and authorization through external RADIUS servers.

Negotiation of Network Control Protocols When Authorized Addresses Are Unavailable

NCP negotiation is initiated for subscriber sessions by default, even when authorized addresses are not available. An example of this situation is when the DHCPv6 local server is configured with an override so that the jpppd process never receives an IPv6 address or prefix from AAA, although the DHCPv6 local server receives a prefix from a delegated pool. In this situation, the client attempts to negotiate IPv6CP with the jpppd process.

By default, when IPCP negotiation is attempted for an IPv4-only PPPoE subscriber session on a dynamic interface, the jpppd process issues a Protocol-Reject message if AAA does not provide an IPv4 address. However, negotiation is allowed to proceed when the on-demand-ip-address statement is included at the [edit protocols ppp-service] or [edit dynamic-profiles profile-name interfaces pp0 unit $junos-interface-unit ppp-options] hierarchy level.

IPCP negotiation is enabled by default for an IP destination address defined on a static interface.

In contrast, IPv6CP negotiation is enabled to proceed by default for an IPv6-only session when AAA has not provided an appropriate IPv6 address or prefix. To prevent endless client negotiation of IPv6CP, you can alter the behavior by including the reject-unauthorized-ipv6cp statement at the [edit protocols ppp-service] hierarchy level. This statement enables the jpppd process to reject the negotiation attempt.

When IPv6CP rejection is enabled, jpppd also issues a Protocol-Reject message when router advertisement is not enabled in the dynamic profile that instantiates the interface but only a Framed-IPv6-Prefix attribute is received.

Shared IPv4 and IPv6 Service Sessions on PPP Access Networks

You can configure one dynamic service profile that supports IPv4, IPv6, or both IPv4 and IPv6. It allows subscribers to share the same service session using IPv4 and IPv6 address families. If you define IPv4 and IPv6 in the dynamic service profile, one address family or both address families can be activated for the service. When the service is activated, matched packets are tagged with the same traffic class and treated the same way for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic.

Accounting for Shared IPv4 and IPv6 Service Sessions

When service sessions are shared for both IPv4 and IPv6 subscribers, only one Accounting-Start message is sent for each service session regardless of the number of address families that are active. Statistics for each address family of a service session are cumulative across service activations and deactivations of the service.

Deactivating Shared IPv4 and IPv6 Service Sessions

If both IPv4 and IPv6 service sessions are active, and a deactivation message is received for one of the address families (IPv4 or IPv6), all active services for that address family are deactivated. If one address family remains active on the service, the service session remains in the ACTIVE state. If the address family that is deactivated is the only family currently running on the service session, the service returns to the INIT state.

AAA Service Framework in a Dual Stack over a PPPoE Access Network

You can use the AAA Service Framework for all authentication, authorization, accounting, address assignment, and dynamic request services that the BNG uses for network access. The framework supports authentication and authorization through external RADIUS servers. It also supports accounting and dynamic-request change of authorization (CoA) and disconnect operations through external servers, and address assignment through a combination of local address-assignment pools and RADIUS servers.

The BNG interacts with external servers to determine how individual subscribers access the broadband network. The BNG can also obtain information from external servers for the following:

  • How subscribers are authenticated.

  • How accounting statistics are collected and used.

  • How dynamic requests, such as CoA, are handled.

As shown in Figure 3, implementing a dual stack over a PPPoE access network that uses AAA can have the following characteristics:

  • DHCPv6—If used, it runs over the IPv6 family session, and it inherits attributes from the underlying PPPoE session.

  • NDRA—If used, it runs over the IPv6 family session.

  • IPv4 and IPv6 accounting—One accounting session handles both IPv4 and IPv6 accounting information.

Collection of Accounting Statistics in a PPPoE Access Network

AAA provides support for both IPv4 and IPv6 statistics in one accounting session. On MX Series 5G Universal Routing Platforms, AAA also provides support for separate IPv4 and IPv6 accounting statistics.

The following RADIUS attributes are included by default (when available) in Acct-Start, Interim, and Acct-Stop messages:

  • Framed-IPv6-Prefix

  • Framed-IPv6-Pool

  • Delegated-Ipv6-Prefix

  • Framed-IPv4-Route

  • Framed-IPv6-Route

You can configure the BNG to exclude these attributes in Acct-Start and Acct-Stop messages.

Change of Authorization (CoA)

RADIUS servers can initiate dynamic requests to the BNG. Dynamic requests include CoA requests, which specify vendor-specific attribute (VSA) modifications and service changes.

In your access profile configuration, you specify the IP addresses of RADIUS authentication servers that can initiate dynamic requests to the router. The list of authentication servers also provides RADIUS-based dynamic service activation and deactivation during subscriber login.

RADIUS Accounting Messages for Dual-Stack PPPoE Subscribers

Acct-Start messages sent to the RADIUS server contain all the learned and allocated addresses. Subsequent negotiation or allocation of addresses results in optionally sending immediate Acct-Interim-Update messages that contain all the negotiated and allocated addresses. For the dual-stack PPPoE subscriber, the following types of addresses are provided:

  • IP address–negotiated during the IPCP (NCP) phase of PPP

  • Interface identifier–negotiated during the IPv6CP (NCP) phase of PPP

  • NDRA prefix–sent during router advertisement after IPv6CP

  • DHCPv6 IA_NA address–negotiated by the DHCPv6 Solict, Advertise, Request, Reply (SARR) phase after IPv6CP

  • DHCPv6 IA_PD prefix–negotiated by the DHCPv6 SARR phase after IPv6CP

The BNG identifies addresses by the following methods:

  • Addresses or prefixes returned from an external authority, such as RADIUS

  • Addresses allocated locally using the pool names specified by external authority

  • Addresses allocated from a local pool not specified for PPP authorization

  • Addresses allocated by an external server outside of the BNG or RADIUS, such as a DHCPv6 external server (DHCPv6 relay or relay proxy)

IPCP and IPv6CP negotiation occur at the PPP NCP phase and can occur in any order. However, DHCPv6 PD or DHCPv6 IA_NA allocation and negotiation occur only after IPv6CP.

Suppressing Accounting Information That Comes from AAA

The following standard and vendor-specific IPv6 RADIUS attributes are included by default (when available) in Acct-Start and Acct-Stop messages:

  • Framed-IPv6-Prefix

  • Framed-IPv6-Pool

  • Delegated-Ipv6-Prefix

  • Framed-IPv4-Route

  • Framed-IPv6-Route

You can configure the software to exclude these attributes from Acct-Start or Acct-Stop messages. To do so, configure the access profile:

  1. Access the access profile.
  2. The following examples show how to use the exclude statement to exclude attributes from messages.

Avoiding Negotiation of IPv6CP in the Absence of an Authorized Address

You can control the behavior of the router in a situation where IPv6CP negotiation is initiated for subscriber sessions when no authorized addresses are available.

By default, IPv6CP negotiation is enabled to proceed for an IPv6-only session when AAA has not provided an appropriate IPv6 address or prefix. In the absence of the address, the negotiation cannot successfully complete. To prevent endless client negotiation of IPv6CP, include the reject-unauthorized-ipv6cp statement at the [edit protocols ppp-service] hierarchy level, which enables the jpppd process to reject the negotiation attempt.

To configure the router to reject IPv6CP negotiation messages when no IPv6 address is available for a dynamic interface:

  • Enable rejection of unauthorized IPv6CP negotiation messages.

Note:

The reject-unauthorized-ipv6cp statement does not prevent IPv6CP negotiation for static interfaces, because the jpppd process cannot determine whether router advertisement of DHCPv6 is configured to run above the PPP interface.
