- The PPP AppleTalk Control Protocol (ATCP)
-
- Status of this Memo
-
- This RFC specifies an IAB standards track protocol for the Internet
- community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
- Please refer to the current edition of the "IAB Official Protocol
- Standards" for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
- Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
-
- Abstract
-
- The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] provides a standard method of
- encapsulating Network Layer protocol information over point-to-point
- links. PPP also defines an extensible Link Control Protocol, and
- proposes a family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for
- establishing and configuring different network-layer protocols.
-
- This document defines the NCP for establishing and configuring the
- AppleTalk Protocol [3] over PPP.
-
- This memo is a joint effort of the AppleTalk-IP Working Group and the
- Point-to-Point Protocol Working Group of the Internet Engineering
- Task Force (IETF). Comments on this memo should be submitted to the
- ietf-ppp@ucdavis.edu mailing list.

- 1. Introduction
-
- PPP has three main components:
-
- 1. A method for encapsulating datagrams over serial links.
-
- 2. A Link Control Protocol (LCP) for establishing, configuring,
- and testing the data-link connection.
-
- 3. A family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing
- and configuring different network-layer protocols.
-
- In order to establish communications over a point-to-point link, each
- end of the PPP link must first send LCP packets to configure and test
- the data link. After the link has been established and optional
- facilities have been negotiated as needed by the LCP, PPP must send
- NCP packets to choose and configure one or more network-layer
- protocols. Once each of the chosen network-layer protocols has been
- configured, datagrams from each network-layer protocol can be sent
- over the link.
-
- The link will remain configured for communications until explicit LCP
- or NCP packets close the link down, or until some external event
- occurs (an inactivity timer expires or network administrator
- intervention).
-
- 2. A PPP Network Control Protocol (NCP) for AppleTalk
-
- The AppleTalk Control Protocol (ATCP) is responsible for configuring,
- enabling, and disabling the AppleTalk protocol modules on both ends
- of the point-to-point link. ATCP uses the same packet exchange
- machanism as the Link Control Protocol (LCP). ATCP packets may not
- be exchanged until PPP has reached the Network-Layer Protocol phase.
- ATCP packets received before this phase is reached should be silently
- discarded.
-
- The AppleTalk Control Protocol is exactly the same as the Link
- Control Protocol [1] with the following exceptions:
-
- Frame Modifications
-
- The packet may utilize any modifications to the basic frame format
- which have been negotiated during the Link Establishment phase.
-
-
-
- Parker [Page 2]
-
- RFC 1378 PPP ATCP November 1992
-
-
- Data Link Layer Protocol Field
-
- Exactly one ATCP packet is encapsulated in the Information field
- of a PPP Data Link Layer frame where the Protocol field indicates
- type hex 8029 (AppleTalk Control Protocol).
-
- Code field
-
- Only Codes 1 through 7 (Configure-Request, Configure-Ack,
- Configure-Nak, Configure-Reject, Terminate-Request, Terminate-Ack
- and Code-Reject) are used. Other Codes should be treated as
- unrecognized and should result in Code-Rejects.
-
- Timeouts
-
- ATCP packets may not be exchanged until PPP has reached the
- Network-Layer Protocol phase. An implementation should be
- prepared to wait for Authentication and Link Quality Determination
- to finish before timing out waiting for a Configure-Ack or other
- response. It is suggested that an implementation give up only
- after user intervention or a configurable amount of time.
-
- Configuration Option Types
-
- ATCP has a distinct set of Configuration Options, which are
- defined below.
-
- 2.1. Sending AppleTalk Datagrams
-
- Before any AppleTalk packets may be communicated, PPP must reach the
- Network-Layer Protocol phase, and the AppleTalk Control Protocol must
- reach the Opened state.
-
- Unless otherwise negotiated (via option 4), exactly one AppleTalk
- packet is encapsulated in the Information field of a PPP Data Link
- Layer frame where the Protocol field indicates type hex 0029
- (AppleTalk).
-
- Note that the negotiation of compression may imply the use of
- different encapsulation and hence different protocol fields. These
- different protocol fields imply packet types which are sub-protocols
- of the base AppleTalk NCP.
-
- An encapsulated AppleTalk packet begins with an extended DDP
- (Datagram Delivery Protocol) header -- also known as a Long DDP
- header. The maximum length of a DDP datagram is 599 octets.
-
- Since there is no standard method for fragmenting and reassembling
-
-
-
- Parker [Page 3]
-
- RFC 1378 PPP ATCP November 1992
-
-
- AppleTalk datagrams, it is required that PPP links supporting
- AppleTalk allow at least 599 octets in the information field of a
- data link layer frame.
-
- 2.2. Half-Routers
-
- One model for routers in [3] is two remote AppleTalk routers linked
- as "half-routers" without a Node ID or Network number assigned to
- either side of the link. When acting as half-routers, the only
- effect on transported packets is that the hop count is incremented
- when it is received over the link. Routing updates received over a
- half-router link should also increment the hop count of routing table
- updates.
-
- As part of normal operation, AppleTalk will send RTMP Routing updates
- every 10 seconds.
-
- 3. ATCP Configuration Options
-
- ATCP Configuration Options allow negotiation of desirable AppleTalk
- parameters. ATCP uses the same Configuration Option format defined
- for LCP [1], with a separate set of Options.
-
- The most up-to-date values of the ATCP Option Type field are
- specified in the most recent "Assigned Numbers" RFC [2]. Current
- values are assigned as follows:
-
- 1 AppleTalk-Address
-
- 2 Routing-Protocol
-
- 3 Suppress-Broadcasts
-
- 4 AT-Compression-Protocol
-
- 5 RESERVED
-
- 6 Server-information
-
- 7 Zone-information
-
- 8 Default-Router-Address

-
-
- 3.1. AppleTalk-Address
-
- Description
-
- This Configuration Option provides a way to negotiate the
- AppleTalk network and node number to be used on the local end of
- the link. It allows the sender of the Configure-Request to state
- which AppleTalk-address is desired, or to request that the peer
- provide the information. The peer can provide this information by
- NAKing the option, and returning a valid AppleTalk-address.
-
- If negotiation about the remote AppleTalk-address is required, and
- the peer did not provide the option in its Configure-Request, the
- option SHOULD be appended to a Configure-Nak. The value of the
- AppleTalk-address given must be acceptable as the remote
- AppleTalk-address, or indicate a request that the peer provide the
- information.
-
- By default, no AppleTalk address is assigned. A network or node
- number specified as zero in a Configure-Request shall be
- interpreted as requesting the remote end to specify a value via a
- Configure-Nak. A network or node number specified as zero in a
- Configure-Ack shall be interpreted as agreement that no value
- exists.
-
- An implementation which requires that no AppleTalk addresses be
- assigned (such as a intermediate system to intermediate system
- "half-routing") MUST Configure-Reject all AppleTalk-Address
- Configuration Options.
-
- An implementation which requires that AppleTalk addresses be
- assigned to it (such as a end system) MUST fail configuration if
- the remote side Configure-Rejects all AppleTalk-Address requests,
- or fails to provide a valid value.
-
- If this option is negotiated, the two sides MUST negotiate a
- common AppleTalk network number and two unique Appletalk node
- numbers. The network number MAY be zero but the Appletalk node
- numbers MUST be non-zero. Values selected for network and node
- numbers must adhere to the ranges defined in [3].
-
- The AppleTalk protocol, phase 2, defines the concept of "extended"
- and "non-extended" networks. Extended networks can support a
- large number (hundreds) of nodes, and requires multiple network
- numbers and multiple zone names to be managed effectively. Non-
- extended networks can only support a small number of devices, and
- require only a single network number and zone name to be managed
- effectively.
-
-
-
- Parker [Page 5]
-
- RFC 1378 PPP ATCP November 1992
-
-
- If a PPP link transporting AppleTalk is assigned an AppleTalk
- address, it must have the "non-extended" characteristics as
- defined in [3].
-
- The format of the network and node data is defined to be the same
- as the "AppleTalk address" in [3], chapter 3, "AppleTalk AARP
- packet formats on Ethernet and token ring".
-
- A summary of the AppleTalk-Address Configuration Option format is
- shown below. The fields are transmitted from left to right.

-
- 3.2. Routing-Protocol
-
- Description
-
- This Configuration Option provides a way to negotiate the use of a
- specific routing protocol. In particular, "half-routers" may want
- to exchange routing information using a protocol optimized for the
- PPP connection. By default, AppleTalk RTMP (Routing Table
- Maintenance Protocol) routing information is sent over the PPP
- connection.
-
- By default, AppleTalk RTMP routing information is sent over the
- PPP connection.
-
- A summary of the Routing-Protocol Configuration Option format is
- shown below. The fields are transmitted from left to right.

-
- Routing-Protocol
-
- The Routing-Protocol field is two octets and indicates the type of
- Routing-Protocol desired. This two octet quantity represents a 16
- bit number sent "network byte order" (most significant octet
- first).
-
- Negotiation of some routing protocols implies that you will
- receive packet types which transport these protocols.
-
- For example, negotiating AppleTalk AURP to exchange routing
- information implies both sides will accept EDDP type packets,
- since this is the transport type used by AURP.
-
-
-
-
- Parker [Page 7]
-
- RFC 1378 PPP ATCP November 1992
-
-
- Initial values are assigned as follows:
-
- Value Protocol
-
- 0 No routing information exchange
- 1 AppleTalk RTMP is used to exchange routing information
- 2 AppleTalk AURP is used to exchange routing information
- 3 AppleTalk ABGP is used to exchange routing information
-
-
- Data
-
- The Data field is zero or more octets and contains additional data
- as determined by the routing protocol indicated in the Routing-
- Protocol field.
-
- None of the Routing-Protocol options defined here require
- additional data.
-
- 3.3. Suppress-Broadcasts
-
- Description
-
- This Configuration Option provides a way to negotiate the
- suppression of AppleTalk broadcast datagrams which might otherwise
- use up limitted PPP bandwidth. This Configuration Option is used
- to inform the remote end that no AppleTalk broadcast datagrams of
- a given DDP type should be sent.
-
- This option is useful when negotiated by a single end system. It
- allows the local end system to request that broadcast packets
- generated on a remote network not be propagated across the PPP
- link. In the case of a single end system connected to a large
- network, this can be used to suppress regular NBP lookups
- generated by other end systems on the remote network. This will
- mean that protocols such as NBP can no longer be used to find
- network entities on the local system, but since the option
- configuration is asymmetric, it does not inhibit the local
- system's ability to find network entities on the remote network.
-
- By default, no AppleTalk broadcast datagrams are suppressed. Note
- that this option may conflict with other options (such as Routing
- Protocol). If so, the Suppress-Broadcasts option takes
- precedence.
-
- A summary of the Suppress-Broadcasts Configuration Option format is
- shown below. The fields are transmitted from left to right.

- to be suppressed, regardless of DDP type.
-
- 3.4. AT-Compression-Protocol
-
- Description
-
- This Configuration Option provides a way to negotiate the use of a
- specific compression protocol. By default, compression is not
- enabled.

-
- AT-Compression-Protocol
-
- The AT-Compression-Protocol field is two octets and indicates the
- compression protocol desired. Values for this field are always
- the same as the PPP Data Link Layer Protocol field values for that
- same compression protocol.
-
- The most up-to-date values of the AT-Compression-Protocol field
- are specified in the most recent "Assigned Numbers" RFC [2].
- Current values are assigned as follows:
-
-
- Value (in hex) Protocol
-
- none defined

- A. ATCP Recommended Options
-
- The ATCP is designed to support three different modes of operation.
- Each mode places constraints on the configuration options used and
- the values negotiated.
-
- The options for server information, zone information and default
- router address are "informational" options provided by one end of the
- connection and are not intended to be negotiated. These options are
- provided to support a higher level of service to dial-in end systems.
-
- The options which SHOULD be negotiated in each case are outlined
- below. Any option not listed may be rejected.
-
- End System to Intermediate System - "dial-in"
-
- This mode of operation is intended to support end system dial-in.
-
- 1 AppleTalk-Address (required)
- 2 Routing-Protocol (required, no routing protocol)
- 3 Suppress-Broadcasts (optional)
- 4 AT-Compression-Protocol (optional)
- 6 Server-information (optional, request from end system)
