  1. Mobile Networking As Applied to Any Mobile Network Including Aeronautical Internets Airborne Internet Collaboration Group meeting April 17, 2003 Will Ivancic – wivancic@grc.nasa.gov

  2. Outline • Mobile Networking Solutions • Aeronautical Telecommunication Network (ATN) • Mobile-IPv4 Operation • Secure Mobile Network Demonstration • Mobile-IPv6 Operation • Networks In Motion (NEMO) • NASA Glenn Research Center Research

  3. Mobile Networking Solutions • Routing Protocols •  Route Optimization •  Convergence Time •  Sharing Infrastructure – who owns the network? • Mobile-IP •  Route Optimization •  Convergence Time •  Sharing Infrastructure •  Security – Relatively Easy to Secure • Domain Name Servers •  Route Optimization •  Convergence Time •  Reliability

  4. Aeronautical Communication Requirements for ATN • Interoperability with existing subnetworks • High availability • Mobile Communication • Message prioritization • Policy based routing • Security • Just now being considered • Bit Efficiency • Support for multiple mobile subnetworks • Mobile platform forms its own Routing domain

  5. Aeronautical Communication Requirements – Questions? • How much is politics, how much is technical requirements. • Policy based routing • Is this a political or technical requirement? • Security – Previously undefined • Can Links handle Authentication, Authorization, Accounting and Encryption? • Bit Efficiency • Is this due to limited links. • Load Sharing of RF links • Is this specified, implied or not necessary • Current (and perhaps future) implementations of Mobile Networking do not support this.

  6. ATN Non-Requirements • Sharing Infrastructure • Multicasting • Interoperate with non-ATN applications • Unidirectional Link Routing • Use of Commodity products and protocols • Cost Effective • Flexible • Adaptable • Evolvable

  7. ATN Solutions for Mobility • Uses Inter-Domain Routing Protocol (IDRP) for routing • Implements distributed IDRP directory using Boundary Intermediate Systems (BISs) • Two level directory • ATN Island concept consisting of backbone BISs • Home BISs concept • Scalability obtained by the two level structure • Resilience is provided by the distributed approach

  8. ATN • ATN Routing uses the IDRP Routing Protocol • IDRP supports policy IDRP supports policy-based based routing which allows administrations to autonomously control use of their network • IDRP supports mobility by permitting aggregate routes to be selectively propagated through the network

  27. Securing Mobile and Wireless Networks Some ways may be “better” than others!

  28. Constraints / Tools • Policy • Architecture • Protocols

  29. IPv4 Utopian Operation CN US Coast Guard Operational Network (Private Address Space) Public Internet US Coast Guard Mobile Network HA Triangular Routing FA MR

  30. IPv4 Mobile-IP Addressing • Source Address is obtained from • Foreign Agent • Static Collocated Care-of-Address (CCoA) • DHCP via Access Router (Dynamic CCoA) • Private Address space is not routable via the Open Internet • Topologically Incorrect Addresses should be blocked via Ingress or Egress filtering

  31. Proxy had not originated the request; therefore, the response is squelched. Peer-to-peer networking becomes problematic at best. Glenn Research Center Policy: No UDP, No IPSec, etc… Mobile-IP stopped in its tracks. What’s your policy? USCG Requires 3DES encryption. WEP is not acceptable due to known deficiencies. Ingress or Egress Filtering stops Transmission due to topologically Incorrect source address. IPv6 Corrects this problem. IPv4 “Real World” Operation CN US Coast Guard Operational Network (Private Address Space) Public Internet P R O X y US Coast Guard Mobile Network HA FA MR

  32. Current Solution – Reverse Tunneling CN Adds Overhead and kills route optimization. US Coast Guard Operational Network (Private Address Space) Public Internet P R O X y US Coast Guard Mobile Network HA FA Anticipate similar problems for IPv6. MR

  33. MR MR ACME Shipping Canadian Coast Guard FA FA ACME SHIPPING HA Public Internet MR HA US Coast Guard HA Encrypting wireless links makes it very difficult to share infrastructure. This is a policy issue. MR HA US Navy Shared Network Infrastructure

  34. ENCRYPTION ON THE RF LINK ENCRYPTION AT THE NETWORK LAYER VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK HEADER HEADER HEADER HEADER PAYLOAD ORIGINAL PACKET Security • Security  Bandwidth Utilization  • Security  Performance  • Tunnels Tunnels Tunnels and more Tunnels • Performance  Security   User turns OFF Security to make system usable! • Thus, we need more bandwidth to ensure security.

  35. Additional and FutureSecurity Solutions • AAA • Routers (available today) • Wireless bridges and access points (available 2002) • IPSec on router interface • Encrypted radio links • IPSec, type1 or type2, and future improved WEP

  36. Conclusions • Security Breaks Everything  • At least it sometimes feels like that. • Need to change policy where appropriate. • Need to develop good architectures that consider how the wireless systems and protocols operate. • Possible solutions that should be investigated: • Dynamic, Protocol aware firewalls and proxies. • Possibly incorporated with Authentication and Authorization.

  37. USCGC Neah Bay Project Mobile Networking in an Operational Network

  38. Mobile Network Design Goals • Secure • Scalable • Manageable • Ability to sharing network infrastructure • Robust

  39. Neah Bay / Mobile Router Project Detroit Foreign-Agent Neah Bay Outside of wireless LAN range, connected to FA via Inmarsat. Neah Bay Connected to FA via wireless LAN at Cleveland harbor Foreign-Agent Somewhere, USA Cleveland Foreign-Agent Internet Home-Agent Anywhere, USA

  40. Why NASA/USCG/Industry • Real world deployment issues can only be addressed in an operational network. • USCG has immediate needs, therefore willingness to work the problem. • USCG has military network requirements. • USCG is large enough network to force full us to investigate full scale deployment issues • USCG is small enough to work with. • NASA has same network issues regarding mobility, security, network management and scalability.

  41. Mobile-Router Advantages • Share wireless and network resources with other organizations • $$$ savings • Set and forget • No onsite expertise required • However, you still have to engineer the network • Continuous Connectivity • (May or may not be important to your organization) • Robust • Secondary Home Agent (Reparenting of HA)

  42. MR MR ACME Shipping Canadian Coast Guard FA FA ACME SHIPPING HA Public Internet MR HA US Coast Guard HA Encrypting wireless links makes it very difficult to share infrastructure. This is a policy issue. MR HA US Navy Shared Network Infrastructure

  43. We Are Running with Reverse Tunneling • Pros • Ensures topologically correct addresses on foreign networks • Required as requests from MR LAN hosts must pass through Proxy inside main firewall • Greatly simplifies setup and management of security associations in encryptors • Greatly simplifies multicast – HA makes for an excellent rendezvous point. • Cons • Uses additional bandwidth • Destroys route optimization
