+
+1. Introduction
+
+ As a little historical anecdote, ISC DHCP once packaged all the
+ relevant RFCs and standards documents along with the software
+ package. Until one day when a voice was heard from one of the many
+ fine institutions that build and distribute this software... they
+ took issue with the IETF's copyright on the RFC's. It seems the
+ IETF's copyrights don't allow modification of RFC's (except for
+ translation purposes).
+
+ Our main purpose in providing the RFCs is to aid in documentation,
+ but since RFCs are now available widely from many points of
+ distribution on the Internet, there is no real need to provide the
+ documents themselves. So, this document has been created in their
+ stead, to list the various IETF RFCs one might want to read, and to
+ comment on how well (or poorly) we have managed to implement them.
+
+
+2. Definition: Reference Implementation
+
+ ISC DHCP, much like its other cousins in ISC software, is self-
+ described as a 'Reference Implementation.' There has been a great
+ deal of confusion about this term. Some people seem to think that
+ this term applies to any software that once passed a piece of
+ reference material on its way to market (but may do quite a lot of
+ things that aren't described in any reference, or may choose to
+ ignore the reference it saw entirely). Other folks get confused by
+ the word 'reference' and understand that to mean that there is some
+ special status applied to the software - that the software itself is
+ the reference by which all other software is measured. Something
+ along the lines of being "The DHCP Protocol's Reference Clock," it is
+ supposed.
+
+ The truth is actually quite a lot simpler. Reference implementations
+ are software packages which were written to behave precisely as
+ appears in reference material. They are written "to match
+ reference."
+
+ If the software has a behaviour that manifests itself externally
+ (whether it be something as simple as the 'wire format' or something
+ higher level, such as a complicated behaviour that arises from
+ multiple message exchanges), that behaviour must be found in a
+ reference document.
+
+ Anything else is a bug, the only question is whether the bug is in
+ reference or software (failing to implement the reference).
+
+ This means:
+
+
+
+Hankins [Page 3]
+
+ ISC DHCP References Collection August 2006
+
+
+ o To produce new externally-visible behaviour, one must first
+ provide a reference.
+
+ o Before changing externally visible behaviour to work around simple
+ incompatibilities in any other implementation, one must first
+ provide a reference.
+
+ That is the lofty goal, at any rate. It's well understood that,
+ especially because the ISC DHCP Software package has not always been
+ held to this standard (but not entirely due to it), there are many
+ non-referenced behaviours within ISC DHCP.
+
+ The primary goal of reference implementation is to prove the
+ reference material. If the reference material is good, then you
+ should be able to sit down and write a program that implements the
+ reference, to the word, and come to an implementation that is
+ distinguishable from others in the details, but not in the facts of
+ operating the protocol. This means that there is no need for
+ 'special knowledge' to work around arcane problems that were left
+ undocumented. No secret handshakes need to be learned to be imparted
+ with the necessary "real documentation".
+
+ Also, by accepting only reference as the guidebook for ISC DHCP's
+ software implementation, anyone who can make an impact on the color
+ texture or form of that reference has a (somewhat indirect) voice in
+ ISC DHCP's software design. As the IETF RFC's have been selected as
+ the source of reference, that means everyone on the Internet with the
+ will to participate has a say.
+
+
+3. Low Layer References
+
+ It may surprise you to realize that ISC DHCP implements 802.1
+ 'Ethernet' framing, Token Ring, and FDDI. In order to bridge the gap
+ there between these physical and DHCP layers, it must also implement
+ IP and UDP framing.
+
+ The reason for this stems from Unix systems' handling of BSD sockets
+ (the general way one might engage in transmission of UDP packets) on
+ unconfigured interfaces, or even the handling of broadcast addressing
+ on configured interfaces.
+
+ There are a few things that DHCP servers, relays, and clients all
+ need to do in order to speak the DHCP protocol in strict compliance
+ with RFC2131 [8].
+
+ 1. Transmit a UDP packet from IP:0.0.0.0 Ethernet:Self, destined to
+ IP:255.255.255.255 LinkLayer:Broadcast on an unconfigured (no IP
+
+
+
+Hankins [Page 4]
+
+ ISC DHCP References Collection August 2006
+
+
+ address yet) interface.
+
+ 2. Receive a UDP packet from IP:remote-system LinkLayer:remote-
+ system, destined to IP:255.255.255.255 LinkLayer:Broadcast, again
+ on an unconfigured interface.
+
+ 3. Transmit a UDP packet from IP:Self, Ethernet:Seelf, destined to
+ IP:remote-system LinkLayer:remote-system, without transmitting a
+ single ARP.
+
+ 4. And of course the simple case, a regular IP unicast that is
+ routed via the usual means (so it may be direct to a local
+ system, with ARP providing the glue, or it may be to a remote
+ system via one or more routers as normal). In this case, the
+ interfaces are always configured.
+
+ The above isn't as simple as it sounds on a regular BSD socket. Many
+ unix implementations will transmit broadcasts not to 255.255.255.255,
+ but to x.y.z.255 (where x.y.z is the system's local subnet). Such
+ packets are not received by several known DHCP client implementations
+ - and it's not their fault, RFC2131 [8] very explicitly demands that
+ these packets' IP destination addresses be set to 255.255.255.255.
+
+ Receiving packets sent to 255.255.255.255 isn't a problem on most
+ modern unixes...so long as the interface is configured. When there
+ is no IPv4 address on the interface, things become much more murky.
+
+ So, for this convoluted and unfortunate state of affairs in the unix
+ systems of the day ISC DHCP was manufactured, in order to do what it
+ needs not only to implement the reference but to interoperate with
+ other implementations, the software must create some form of raw
+ socket to operate on.
+
+ What it actually does is create, for each interface detected on the
+ system, a Berkeley Packet Filter socket (or equivalent), and program
+ it with a filter that brings in only DHCP packets. A "fallback" UDP
+ Berkeley socket is generally also created, a single one no matter how
+ many interfaces. Should the software need to transmit a contrived
+ packet to the local network the packet is formed piece by piece and
+ transmitted via the BPF socket. Hence the need to implement many
+ forms of Link Layer framing and above. The software gets away with
+ not having to implement IP routing tables as well by simply utilizing
+ the aforementioned 'fallback' UDP socket when unicasting between two
+ configured systems is the need.
+
+ Modern unixes have opened up some facilities that diminish how much
+ of this sort of nefarious kludgery is necessary, but have not found
+ the state of affairs absolutely absolved. In particular, one might
+
+
+
+Hankins [Page 5]
+
+ ISC DHCP References Collection August 2006
+
+
+ now unicast without ARP by inserting an entry into the ARP cache
+ prior to transmitting. Unconfigured interfaces remain the sticking
+ point, however...on virtually no modern unixes is it possible to
+ receive broadcast packets unless a local IPv4 address has been
+ configured, unless it is done with raw sockets.
+
+3.1. Ethernet Protocol References
+
+ ISC DHCP Implements Ethernet Version 2 ("DIX"), which is a variant of
+ IEEE 802.2. No good reference of this framing is known to exist at
+ this time, but it is vaguely described in RFC894 [3] (see the section
+ titled "Packet format"), and the following URL is also thought to be
+ useful.
+
+ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIX
+
+3.2. Token Ring Protocol References
+
+ IEEE 802.5 defines the Token Ring framing format used by ISC DHCP.
+
+3.3. FDDI Protocol References
+
+ RFC1188 [6] is the most helpful reference ISC DHCP has used to form
+ FDDI packets.
+
+3.4. Internet Protocol Version 4 References
+
+ RFC760 [1] fundamentally defines the bare IPv4 protocol which ISC
+ DHCP implements.
+
+3.5. Unicast Datagram Protocol References
+
+ RFC768 [2] defines the User Datagram Protocol that ultimately carries
+ the DHCP or BOOTP protocol. The destination DHCP server port is 67,
+ the client port is 68. Source ports are irrelevant.
+
+
+4. BOOTP Protocol References
+
+ The DHCP Protocol is strange among protocols in that it is grafted
+ over the top of another protocol - BOOTP (but we don't call it "DHCP
+ over BOOTP" like we do, say "TCP over IP"). BOOTP and DHCP share UDP
+ packet formats - DHCP is merely a conventional use of both BOOTP
+ header fields and the trailing 'options' space.
+
+ The ISC DHCP server supports BOOTP clients conforming to RFC951 [4]
+ and RFC1542 [7].
+
+
+
+
+Hankins [Page 6]
+
+ ISC DHCP References Collection August 2006
+
+
+5. DHCP Protocol References
+
+5.1. DHCPv4 Protocol
+
+ "The DHCP[v4] Protocol" is not defined in a single document. The
+ following collection of references of what ISC DHCP terms "The DHCPv4
+ Protocol".
+
+5.1.1. Core Protocol References
+
+ RFC2131 [8] defines the protocol format and procedures. ISC DHCP is
+ not known to diverge from this document in any way. There are,
+ however, a few points on which different implementations have arisen
+ out of vagueries in the document. DHCP Clients exist which, at one
+ time, present themselves as using a Client Identifier Option which is
+ equal to the client's hardware address. Later, the client transmits
+ DHCP packets with no Client Identifier Option present - essentially
+ identifying themselves using the hardware address. Some DHCP Servers
+ have been developed which identify this client as a single client.
+ ISC has interpreted RFC2131 to indicate that these clients must be
+ treated as two separate entities (and hence two, separate addresses).
+ Client behaviour (Embedded Windows products) has developed that
+ relies on the former implementation, and hence is incompatible with
+ the latter. Also, RFC2131 demands explicitly that some header fields
+ be zeroed upon certain message types. The ISC DHCP Server instead
+ copies many of these fields from the packet received from the client
+ or relay, which may not be zero. It is not known if there is a good
+ reason for this that has not been documented.
+
+ RFC2132 [9] defines the initial set of DHCP Options and provides a
+ great deal of guidance on how to go about formatting and processing
+ options. The document unfortunately waffles to a great extent about
+ the NULL termination of DHCP Options, and some DHCP Clients (Windows
+ 95) have been implemented that rely upon DHCP Options containing text
+ strings to be NULL-terminated (or else they crash). So, ISC DHCP
+ detects if clients null-terminate the host-name option and, if so,
+ null terminates any text options it transmits to the client. It also
+ removes NULL termination from any known text option it receives prior
+ to any other processing.
+
+5.2. DHCPv6 Protocol References
+
+ For now there is only one document that specifies the DHCPv6 protocol
+ (there have been no updates yet), RFC3315 [21].
+
+ Support for DHCPv6 was added first in version 4.0.0. The server and
+ client support only IA_NA. While the server does support multiple
+ IA_NAs within one packet from the client, our client only supports
+
+
+
+Hankins [Page 7]
+
+ ISC DHCP References Collection August 2006
+
+
+ sending one. There is no relay support.
+
+ DHCPv6 introduces some new and uncomfortable ideas to the common
+ software library.
+
+ 1. Options of zero length are normal in DHCPv6. Currently, all ISC
+ DHCP software treats zero-length options as errors.
+
+ 2. Options sometimes may appear multiple times. The common library
+ used to treat all appearance of multiple options as specified in
+ RFC2131 - to be concatenated. DHCPv6 options may sometimes
+ appear multiple times (such as with IA_NA or IAADDR), but often
+ must not.
+
+ 3. The same option space appears in DHCPv6 packets multiple times.
+ If the packet was got via a relay, then the client's packet is
+ stored to an option within the relay's packet...if there were two
+ relays, this recurses. At each of these steps, the root "DHCPv6
+ option space" is used. Further, a client packet may contain an
+ IA_NA, which may contain an IAADDR - but really, in an abstract
+ sense, this is again re-encapsulation of the DHCPv6 option space
+ beneath options it also contains.
+
+ Precisely how to correctly support the above conundrums has not quite
+ yet been settled, so support is incomplete.
+
+5.3. DHCP Option References
+
+ RFC2241 [10] defines options for Novell Directory Services.
+
+ RFC2242 [11] defines an encapsulated option space for NWIP
+ configuration.
+
+ RFC2485 [12] defines the Open Group's UAP option.
+
+ RFC2610 [13] defines options for the Service Location Protocol (SLP).
+
+ RFC2937 [14] defines the Name Service Search Option (not to be
+ confused with the domain-search option). The Name Service Search
+ Option allows eg nsswitch.conf to be reconfigured via dhcp. The ISC
+ DHCP server implements this option, and the ISC DHCP client is
+ compatible...but does not by default install this option's value.
+ One would need to make their relevant dhclient-script process this
+ option in a way that is suitable for the system.
+
+ RFC3004 [16] defines the User-Class option. Note carefully that ISC
+ DHCP currently does not implement to this reference, but has
+ (inexplicably) selected an incompatible format: a plain text string.
+
+
+
+Hankins [Page 8]
+
+ ISC DHCP References Collection August 2006
+
+
+ RFC3011 [17] defines the Subnet-Selection plain DHCPv4 option. Do
+ not confuse this option with the relay agent "link selection" sub-
+ option, although their behaviour is similar.
+
+ RFC3319 [22] defines the SIP server options for DHCPv6.
+
+ RFC3396 [23] documents both how long options may be encoded in DHCPv4
+ packets, and also how multiple instances of the same option code
+ within a DHCPv4 packet will be decoded by receivers.
+
+ RFC3397 [24] documents the Domain-Search Option, which allows the
+ configuration of the /etc/resolv.conf 'search' parameter in a way
+ that is RFC1035 [5] wire format compatible (in fact, it uses the
+ RFC1035 wire format). ISC DHCP has both client and server support,
+ and supports RFC1035 name compression.
+
+ RFC3646 [27] documents the DHCPv6 name-servers and domain-search
+ options.
+
+ RFC3633 [26] documents the Identity Association Prefix Delegation,
+ which is included here for protocol wire reference, but which is not
+ supported by ISC DHCP.
+
+ RFC3679 [28] documents a number of options that were documented
+ earlier in history, but were not made use of.
+
+ RFC3898 [29] documents four NIS options for delivering NIS servers
+ and domain information in DHCPv6.
+
+ RFC3925 [30] documents a pair of Enterprise-ID delimited option
+ spaces for vendors to use in order to inform servers of their "vendor
+ class" (sort of like 'uname' or 'who and what am I'), and a means to
+ deliver vendor-specific and vendor-documented option codes and
+ values.
+
+ RFC3942 [31] redefined the 'site local' option space.
+
+ RFC4075 [32] defines the DHCPv6 SNTP Servers option.
+
+ RFC4242 [33] defines the Information Refresh Time option, which
+ advises DHCPv6 Information-Request clients to return for updated
+ information.
+
+ RFC4280 [34] defines two BCMS server options.
+
+ RFC4388 [35] defined the DHCPv4 LEASEQUERY message type and a number
+ of suitable response messages, for the purpose of sharing information
+ about DHCP served addresses and clients.
+
+
+
+Hankins [Page 9]
+
+ ISC DHCP References Collection August 2006
+
+
+ RFC4580> [36] defines a DHCPv6 subscriber-id option, which is similar
+ in principle to the DHCPv4 relay agent option of the same name.
+
+ RFC4649 [37] defines a DHCPv6 remote-id option, which is similar in
+ principle to the DHCPv4 relay agent remote-id.
+
+5.3.1. Relay Agent Information Option Options
+
+ RFC3046 [18] defines the Relay Agent Information Option and provides
+ a number of sub-option definitions.
+
+ RFC3256 [20] defines the DOCSIS Device Class sub-option.
+
+ RFC3527 [25] defines the Link Selection sub-option.
+
+5.3.2. Dynamic DNS Updates References
+
+ The collection of documents that describe the standards-based method
+ to update dns names of DHCP clients starts most easily with RFC4703
+ [40] to define the overall architecture, travels through RFCs 4702
+ [39] and 4704 [41] to describe the DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 FQDN options (to
+ carry the client name), and ends up at RFC4701 [38] which describes
+ the DHCID RR used in DNS to perform a kind of atomic locking.
+
+ ISC DHCP adoped early versions of these documents, and has not yet
+ synched up with the final standards versions.
+
+ For RFCs 4702 and 4704, the 'N' bit is not yet supported. The result
+ is that it is always set zero, and is ignored if set.
+
+ For RFC4701, which is used to match client identities with names in
+ the DNS as part of name conflict resolution. Note that ISC DHCP's
+ implementation of DHCIDs vary wildly from this specification. First,
+ ISC DHCP uses a TXT record in which the contents are stored in
+ hexadecimal. Second, there is a flaw in the selection of the
+ 'Identifier Type', which results in a completely different value
+ being selected than was defined in an older revision of this
+ document...also this field is one byte prior to hexadecimal encoding
+ rather than two. Third, ISC DHCP does not use a digest type code.
+ Rather, all values for such TXT records are reached via an MD5 sum.
+ In short, nothing is compatible, but the principle of the TXT record
+ is the same as the standard DHCID record. However, for DHCPv6 FQDN,
+ we do use DHCID type code '2', as no other value really makes sense
+ in our context.
+
+5.3.3. Experimental: Failover References
+
+ The Failover Protocol defines a means by which two DHCP Servers can
+
+
+
+Hankins [Page 10]
+
+ ISC DHCP References Collection August 2006
+
+
+ share all the relevant information about leases granted to DHCP
+ clients on given networks, so that one of the two servers may fail
+ and be survived by a server that can act responsibly.
+
+ Unfortunately it has been quite some years since the last time this
+ document was edited, and the authors no longer show any interest in
+ fielding comments or improving the document.
+
+ The status of this protocol is very unsure, but ISC's implementation
+ of it has proven stable and suitable for use in sizable production
+ environments.
+
+ draft-ietf-dhc-failover-12.txt [42] describes the Failover Protocol.
+ In addition to what is described in this document, ISC DHCP has
+ elected to make some experimental changes that may be revoked in a
+ future version of ISC DHCP (if the draft authors do not adopt the new
+ behaviour). Specifically, ISC DHCP's POOLREQ behaviour differs
+ substantially from what is documented in the draft, and the server
+ also implements a form of 'MAC Address Affinity' which is not
+ described in the failover document. The full nature of these changes
+ have been described on the IETF DHC WG mailing list (which has
+ archives), and also in ISC DHCP's manual pages. Also note that
+ although this document references a RECOVER-WAIT state, it does not
+ document a protocol number assignment for this state. As a
+ consequence, ISC DHCP has elected to use the value 254.
+
+ RFC3074 [19] describes the Load Balancing Algorithm (LBA) that ISC
+ DHCP uses in concert with the Failover protocol. Note that versions
+ 3.0.* are known to misimplement the hash algorithm (it will only use
+ the low 4 bits of every byte of the hash bucket array).
+
+5.4. DHCP Procedures
+
+ RFC2939 [15] explains how to go about obtaining a new DHCP Option
+ code assignment.
