76
+ IAC WILL RANDOMLY-LOSE:
77

85
+ the receiver permission to, randomly lose.
86

+ DON'T RANDOMLY-LOSE
95
+
96
+ i.e., random lossage will not happen.
97
+
98
+ 4. Motivation for the option
99
+
100
+ Several hosts appear to provide random lossage, such as system
101
+ crashes, lost data, incorrectly functioning programs, etc., as part
102
+ of their services. These services are often undocumented and are in
103
+ general quite confusing to the novice user. A general means is
104
+ needed to allow the user to disable these features.

+ Internet-Draft TELNET RANDOMLY-LOSE Option April 1978
115
+
116
+
117
+ 5. Description of the option
118
+
119
+ The normal mode does not allow random lossage; therefore the system
120
+ is not allowed to crash, mung user files, etc. If the server wants
121
+ to provide random lossage, it must first ask for permission from the
122
+ user by sending IAC WILL RANDOMLY-LOSE.
123
+
124
+ If the user wants to permit the server to randomly lose, it replys
125
+ with IAC DO RANDOMLY-LOSE. Otherwise it sends IAC DONT RANDOMLY-
126
+ LOSE, and the server is forbidden from randomly losing.
127
+
128
+ Alternatively, the user could request the server to randomly lose, by
129
+ sending IAC DO RANDOMLY-LOSE, and the server will either reply with
130
+ IAC WILL RANDOMLY-LOSE, meaning that it will then proceed to do some
131
+ random lossage (garbaging disk files is recommended for an initial
132
+ implementation). Or, it could send IAC WONT RANDOMLY-LOSE, meaning
133
+ that it insists upon being reliable.
134
+
135
+ Since this is implemented as a TELNET option, it is expected that
136
+ servers which do not implement this option will not randomly lose;
137
+ ie, they will provide 100% reliable uptime.

80
+ 1. Introduction
81
+
82
+ In times of Green IT, a lot of effort is put into reducing the energy
83
+ consumption of routers, switches, servers, hosts, etc., to preserve
84
+ our environment. This document looks at Green IT from a different
85
+ angle and focuses on network packets being routed and switched around
86
+ the world.
87
+
88
+ Most likely, no one ever thought about the millions of packets being
89
+ disassembled into bits every second and forced through copper wires
90
+ or being shot through dark fiber lines by powerful lasers at
91
+ continuously increasing speeds. Although RFC 5841 [RFC5841] provided
92
+ some thoughts about Packet Moods and began to represent them as a TCP
93
+ option, this doesn't help the packets escape their torturous routine.
94
+
95
+ This document defines another way to deal with Green IT for traffic
96
+ and network engineers and will hopefully aid the wellbeing of a
97
+ myriad of network packets around the world. It proposes Scenic
98
+ Routing, which incorporates the green-ness of a network path into the
99
+ routing decision. A routing engine implementing Scenic Routing
100
+ should therefore choose paths based on Avian IP Carriers [RFC1149]
101
+ and/or wireless technologies so the packets will get out of the
102
+ miles/kilometers of dark fibers that are in the ground and get as
103
+ much fresh-air time and sunlight as possible.
104
+
105
+ As of the widely known acceptance of the current version of the
106
+ Internet Protocol (IPv6), this document only focuses on version 6 and
107
+ ignores communication still based on Vintage IP [RFC0791].

+ 1.1. Conventions and Terminology
118
+
119
+ The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
120
+ "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
121
+ document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
122
+
123
+ Additionally, the key words "*MIGHT*", "*COULD*", "*MAY WISH TO*",
124
+ "*WOULD PROBABLY*", "*SHOULD CONSIDER*", and "*MUST (BUT WE KNOW YOU
125
+ WON'T)*" in this document are to interpreted as described in RFC 6919
126
+ [RFC6919].
127
+
128
+ 2. Scenic Routing
129
+
130
+ Scenic Routing can be enabled with a new option for IPv6 datagrams.
131
+
132
+ 2.1. Scenic Routing Option (SRO)
133
+
134
+ The Scenic Routing Option (SRO) is placed in the IPv6 Hop-by-Hop
135
+ Options Header that must be examined by every node along a packet's
136
+ delivery path [RFC2460].
137
+
138
+ The SRO can be included in any IPv6 datagram, but multiple SROs MUST
139
+ NOT be present in the same IPv6 datagram. The SRO has no alignment
140
+ requirement.
141
+
142
+ If the SRO is set for a packet, every node en route from the packet
143
+ source to the packet's final destination MUST preserve the option.
144
+
145
+ The following Hop-by-Hop Option is proposed according to the
146
+ specification in Section 4.2 of RFC 2460 [RFC2460].

+ The highest-order two bits (SR) define the urgency of Scenic

+ Routing:
202
+
203
+ 00 - Scenic Routing MUST NOT be used for this packet.
204
+
205
+ 01 - Scenic Routing *MIGHT* be used for this packet.
206
+
207
+ 10 - Scenic Routing SHOULD be used for this packet.
208
+
209

213
+ 0 - Don't use Avian IP Carrier links (maybe the packet is

215
+
216

+ radiation).
231
+
232

233
+
234
+ The following two bits (AA) define the affinity for link types:
235
+
236

237
+
238
+ 01 - Avian IP Carriers SHOULD be preferred.
239
+
240
+ 10 - Wireless links SHOULD be preferred.
241
+
242
+ 11 - RESERVED
243
+
244
+ The lowest-order two bits (XY) are currently unused and reserved
245
+ for future use.
246
+
247
+ 3. Implications
248
+
249
+ 3.1. Routing Implications
250
+
251
+ If Scenic Routing is requested for a packet, the path with the known
252
+ longest Avian IP Carrier and/or wireless portion MUST be used.
253
+
254
+ Backbone operators who desire to be fully compliant with Scenic
255
+ Routing *MAY WISH TO* -- well, they SHOULD -- have separate MPLS
256
+ paths ready that provide the most fresh-air time for a given path and
257
+ are to be used when Scenic Routing is requested by a packet. If such
258
+ a path exists, the path MUST be used in favor of any other path, even
259
+ if another path is considered cheaper according to the path costs
260
+ used regularly, without taking Scenic Routing into account.
261
+
262
+ 3.2. Implications for Hosts
263
+
264
+ Host systems implementing this option of receiving packets with
265
+ Scenic Routing requested MUST honor this request and MUST activate
266
+ Scenic Routing for any packets sent back to the originating host for
267
+ the current connection.
268
+
269
+ If Scenic Routing is requested for connections of local origin, the
270
+ host MUST obey the request and route the packet(s) over a wireless
271
+ link or use Avian IP Carriers (if available and as requested within
272
+ the SRO Params).
273
+
274
+ System administrators *MIGHT* want to configure sensible default
275
+ parameters for Scenic Routing, when Scenic Routing has been widely
276
+
277
+
278
+

281
+
282
+ Internet-Draft Scenic Routing for IPv6 April 2015
283
+
284
+
285
+ adopted by operating systems. System administrators SHOULD deploy
286
+ Scenic Routing information where applicable.
287
+
288
+ 3.3. Proxy Servers
289
+
290
+ If a host is running a proxy server or any other packet-relaying
291
+ application, an application implementing Scenic Routing MUST set the
292
+ same SRO Params on the outgoing packet as seen on the incoming
293
+ packet.
294
+
295
+ Developers *SHOULD CONSIDER* Scenic Routing when designing and
296
+ implementing any network service.
297
+
298
+ 4. Security Considerations
299
+
300
+ The security considerations of RFC 6214 [RFC6214] apply for links
301
+ provided by Avian IP Carriers.
302
+
303
+ General security considerations of wireless communication apply for
304
+ links using wireless technologies.
305
+
306
+ As the user is able to influence where flows and packets are being
307
+ routed within the network, this *MIGHT* influence traffic-engineering
308
+ considerations and network operators *MAY WISH TO* take this into
309
+ account before enabling Scenic Routing on their devices.
310
+
311
+ 5. IANA Considerations
312
+
313
+ This document defines a new IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Option, the Scenic
314
+ Routing Option, described in Section 2.1. If this work is
315
+ standardized, IANA is requested to assign a value from the
316
+ "Destination Options and Hop-by-Hop Options" registry for the purpose
317
+ of Scenic Routing.
318
+
319
+ There are no IANA actions requested at this time.
320
+
321
+ 6. Related Work
322
+
323
+ As Scenic Routing is heavily dependent on network paths and routing
324
+ information, it might be worth looking at designing extensions for
325
+ popular routing protocols like BGP or OSPF to leverage the full
326
+ potential of Scenic Routing in large networks built upon lots of
327
+ wireless links and/or Avian IP Carriers. When incorporating
328
+ information about links compatible with Scenic Routing, the routing
329
+ algorithms could easily calculate the optimal paths providing the
330
+ most fresh-air time for a packet for any given destination.
331
+
332
+
333
+
