  41. stun server Internet CN NAT host Simple Traversal of UDP through NAT (STUN) • Host sends a packet to stun server • NAT converts internal IP to external IP • Responds with source IP of packet (i.e., external) • Host knows that its external IP is not same as internal • It uses external IP/port when advertising in SDP • Does not work for symmetric NAT • external IP for same host different for connection to different external host (2) (6) (3) (5) (4) (1) MobileNAT/IRT group meeting

  42. Internet CN NAT host Realm Specific IP (RSIP) • Get an external address from NAT for this private host • Tunnel packets between NAT and private host • Works for various combinations of multiple RSIP gateway, NAT, NAT with RSIP, and RSIP hosts. • Need RSIP aware host CNNAT NAThost <CNNAT> MobileNAT/IRT group meeting

  44. Mobile NAT: motivation • Problems in existing approaches • Not much discussion on optimizing intra-domain sessions • Require tunneling overhead, inter, intra or both • Triangular routing or modification in CN • Huge infrastructure change (CIP, IPv6, even deploying FA) • . . . • What MobileNAT does? • Reduce problem space to only private address space MN • Assume the presence of NA(P)T in a domain • Choice between tunneling and address translation • Use existing protocols (DHCP, ICMP) for signaling mobility • Discourage changing routing infrastructure • Can co-exist with MobileIP, Hawaii and IPv6 (?) • Provide roaming and services across heterogeneous address spaces demarked by address translation devices MobileNAT/IRT group meeting

  45. Internet NAT CN MN MN Mobile NAT: intra-domain • No explicit HA or FA • HA is in NAT (MN is private) • FA is in MN (driver, kernel) • Virtual vs routable address • Virtual: fixed private address “a” exposed to application on MN • Routable: dynamic private address “a” or “b” using DHCP • Transport sessions between CNA (external), CNa (internal) • Address translation • NAT (Aab), MN (ba) • Tunneling • NATMN CN<=>A A=a IP cloud CN<=>b a/b a/a Id=Private MobileNAT/IRT group meeting

  46. Internet NAT1 NAT2 CN MN MN Mobile NAT: inter-domain • Inter-NAT tunnel or relay • MN moves a/a=>a/c • NAT1 and NAT informed • Translation • NAT1: AaB • NAT2: Bac • MN: ca • Issues • Multiple “a” in NAT2 • But unique map Ba • Does IP security work (?) • Like Mobile IP • FA=NAT2,HA=NAT1 • At most two level of NATs B=a CN<=>A A=a a/c CN<=>b a/a MobileNAT/IRT group meeting

  47. Internet NAT CN MN1 MN1 MN2 Mobile NAT: intra-domain sessions • MN1  MN2 active session • MN2 sends to NAT; destination “a” • NAT responds router redirect “b” (?) • MN2 now sends to MN1 • MN1 moves a/b=>a/c • MN1 gets “c” • DHCP server (or MN1) informs NAT • MN2 gets ICMP host unreachable • Starts sending to NAT • NAT responds router redirect “c” • MN1 moves out of domain • Path MN1visited NAT home NATMN2 A=a d/e a/c active session a/b (?) ICMP Redirect message is expected from router in the same sub-net to which packet is being sent. It is vulnerable to attacks (confirm?) Cisco routers don’t forward ICMP redirect from another network. We may use proprietary IP options if allowed. MobileNAT/IRT group meeting

  48. TODO • Can MobileNAT co-exist with MIP, Hawaii and non-mobile but IP clients? • If MIP MN discovers no FA, switches to MobileNAT • If MobileNAT MN discovers FA, enables both MIP and MobileNAT • If MobileNAT MN goes out of domain and gets a public address • If a public MN moves within the domain and gets private address • For intra-domain session between MN and fixed IP host, route optimization does not work • Does route optimization work if both MN move at the same time? • Does MobileNAT work with multicast? • Write a simulation program for MobileNAT, MobileIP and Hawaii network MobileNAT/IRT group meeting

  49. TODO • Can part of it be implemented using existing protocols like Mobile IPv6 (destination option for route optimization), IDMP (for public/private addresses), RSIP)? • Intra-domain Route optimization is similar to IPv6 destination option; can we use IPv6 within domain – need to change all routers (?) • Assuming IPv6 domain with NAT as IPv4IPv6 converter. What changes we need in NAT/IOTA so that it works with Mobile IP? For IPv6 do we need private address domain? How do we minimize changes in IPv6 MN? • IDMP supports multiple MA. Can we install multiple NAT/IOTA for load balancing? • Does tunnel mode MobileNAT reduce to IDMP, when HA is outside of NAT and FA is in MN? (yes) Why can’t MobileNAT be proposed as an extension to IDMP? IDMP does not describe intra-domain session optimization. MobileNAT/IRT group meeting

  50. TODO • Windows related issues • Check if TCP connections are dropped when ipconfig /release is done • Check what happens when CONNECTED status is indicated on already connected state • Check if TCP connections are dropped even if DISCONNECTED status is not propagated to higher layer • Possible deployment hindrances • Changing every MN driver (similar to Mobile IP) • Should allow incremental deployment • Processing overhead on NAT/IOTA • What happens to domain/sub-net specific options that are not indicated to the higher layer when domain/sub-net change? Need to write a controlling application also that does DhcpIpRenewAddress when driver finds a different options field. MobileNAT/IRT group meeting
