Table of Contents

1. Introduction

The BGP Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute [BGP-TUNNEL-ENCAP-ATTR] allows BGP speakers to advertise the tunnel encapsulation information associated with reachability information carried in BGP UPDATE messages. It is used to indicate that traffic associated with a route can be carried using a particular tunnel encapsulation and to provide the parameters needed to establish or use that tunnel.

MASQUE defines mechanisms for proxying traffic using HTTP. These mechanisms include proxying UDP payloads using CONNECT-UDP [CONNECT-UDP], proxying IP packets using CONNECT-IP [CONNECT-IP], proxying TCP connections using CONNECT-TCP [CONNECT-TCP], and proxying Ethernet frames using CONNECT-ETHERNET [CONNECT-ETHERNET]. These mechanisms allow traffic to be carried over HTTP/1.1 [HTTP/1.1], HTTP/2 [HTTP/2], or HTTP/3 [HTTP/3] connections to a MASQUE proxy and are applicable to environments such as SD-WAN, data center interconnect, VPN services, and other overlay connectivity deployments.

In some deployments, BGP is already used as the control plane for advertising reachability and associated tunnel encapsulation information. Allowing BGP to advertise MASQUE tunnel encapsulation parameters enables a BGP speaker to signal that traffic associated with a route is reachable through a MASQUE proxy using one of the template-driven CONNECT mechanisms. This document defines BGP Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute tunnel types for CONNECT-TCP, CONNECT-UDP, CONNECT-IP, and CONNECT-ETHERNET.

This document also defines a URI Template Sub-TLV for the BGP Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute. The URI Template identifies the MASQUE proxy endpoint and provides the template used to construct the HTTP request target for the corresponding CONNECT request. This document also defines an SVCB Parameters Sub-TLV that reuses the service parameter encoding and registry of SVCB and HTTPS resource records [SVCB]. It carries IP address hints for validation of the advertised proxy endpoint without a DNS lookup, together with ALPN identifiers and other connection parameters.

This document does not define new BGP NLRI, does not define a new MASQUE protocol mechanism, and does not define a new proxy authentication or authorization mechanism. The NLRI to which the Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute is attached identifies the traffic, service, or reachability information to which the MASQUE tunnel applies. Authentication and authorization of the MASQUE proxy remain the responsibility of the endpoints and the applicable HTTP and TLS mechanisms.

2. Conventions and Definitions

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

This document uses terminology from [BGP-TUNNEL-ENCAP-ATTR], [CONNECT-UDP], [CONNECT-IP], [CONNECT-TCP], [CONNECT-ETHERNET], and [SVCB].

MASQUE proxy:

An HTTP proxy that supports one or more of the MASQUE CONNECT mechanisms identified by the tunnel types defined in this document.

MASQUE tunnel:

A tunnel established using one of the CONNECT mechanisms identified by the tunnel types defined in this document.

URI Template:

A URI Template as defined by [URI-TEMPLATE]. In this document, a URI Template is carried in the URI Template Sub-TLV and is used to construct the HTTP request target for a MASQUE tunnel.

ALPN:

Application-Layer Protocol Negotiation, as defined by [ALPN].

SvcParam:

A service parameter consisting of a SvcParamKey and a SvcParamValue, as defined by [SVCB].

3. MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation

A Tunnel Encapsulation TLV using one of the tunnel types defined in this document identifies a MASQUE proxy and the corresponding HTTP request target using the URI Template Sub-TLV defined in Section 4. The URI Template determines the MASQUE proxy endpoint and is used to construct the HTTP request for the corresponding CONNECT mechanism.

The SVCB Parameters Sub-TLV, defined in Section 5, supplies IP address hints for BGP validation of the proxy endpoint and can also carry connection parameters such as supported application-layer protocols and an alternative port.

The tunnel types defined in this section identify the MASQUE mechanism used to carry the traffic associated with the BGP route. The NLRI to which the Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute is attached determines the traffic, service, or reachability information to which the MASQUE tunnel applies.

A Tunnel Encapsulation TLV whose tunnel type is one of the MASQUE tunnel types defined in this document is referred to as a MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLV. A MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLV MUST contain exactly one URI Template Sub-TLV and MUST NOT contain more than one SVCB Parameters Sub-TLV. Unless the host component of the URI Template is an IPv4 or IPv6 address literal, the TLV MUST contain exactly one SVCB Parameters Sub-TLV containing at least one address in ipv4hint, ipv6hint, or both. If the host is such an address literal, the SVCB Parameters Sub-TLV MAY be omitted.

A MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLV that does not meet these requirements MUST be handled as specified in Section 5.3. Only the following Sub-TLVs are applicable to MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLVs:

Table 1: Sub-TLVs allowed for use with MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLVs
Sub-TLV Code
Color 4
DS Field 7
URI Template TBD5
SVCB Parameters TBD6

All other Sub-TLVs not explicitly listed above are not defined for use with MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLVs. Receivers MUST ignore these Sub-TLVs when validating MASQUE-specific semantics. Future specifications MAY define additional Sub-TLVs for use with MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLVs.

3.1. CONNECT-TCP Tunnel Type

The CONNECT-TCP Tunnel Type indicates that traffic associated with the route is to be carried using CONNECT-TCP [CONNECT-TCP]. This tunnel type is applicable to routes or service-specific information that identify TCP connectivity or TCP flow steering.

  • Name: MASQUE CONNECT-TCP Tunnel Type: TBD1 Length: 0

3.2. CONNECT-UDP Tunnel Type

The CONNECT-UDP Tunnel Type indicates that traffic associated with the route is to be carried using CONNECT-UDP [CONNECT-UDP]. This tunnel type is applicable to routes or service-specific information that identify UDP connectivity or UDP flow steering.

  • Name: MASQUE CONNECT-UDP Tunnel Type: TBD2 Length: 0

3.3. CONNECT-IP Tunnel Type

The CONNECT-IP Tunnel Type indicates that traffic associated with the route is to be carried using CONNECT-IP [CONNECT-IP]. This tunnel type is applicable to routes that identify IP reachability, such as IP prefixes, VPN-IP routes, or other service-specific IP reachability information.

  • Name: MASQUE CONNECT-IP Tunnel Type: TBD3 Length: 0

3.4. CONNECT-ETHERNET Tunnel Type

The CONNECT-ETHERNET Tunnel Type indicates that traffic associated with the route is to be carried using CONNECT-ETHERNET [CONNECT-ETHERNET]. This tunnel type is applicable to routes that identify Ethernet or Layer 2 service reachability, such as EVPN or other service-specific Layer 2 reachability information.

  • Name: MASQUE CONNECT-ETHERNET Tunnel Type: TBD4 Length: 0

4. URI Template Sub-TLV

The URI Template Sub-TLV identifies the MASQUE proxy endpoint and provides the template used to construct the HTTP request target for the MASQUE tunnel. The URI Template Sub-TLV is carried in a MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLV.

The URI Template Sub-TLV has the following format:

  0                   1                   2                   3
  0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

 ~                     URI Template Value                        ~
 |                                                               |
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 1: URI Template Sub-TLV
Type:

TBD5

Length:

The length, in octets, of the URI Template Value field.

URI Template Value:

A UTF-8 encoded URI Template [URI-TEMPLATE].

The URI Template Value MUST be a syntactically valid URI Template. The URI Template MUST be in absolute form and MUST include non-empty scheme, authority, and path components. The URI Template MUST satisfy the URI Template requirements of the MASQUE mechanism identified by the enclosing MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLV.

The authority component of the URI Template identifies the MASQUE proxy endpoint. An SVCB Parameters Sub-TLV can supply connection parameters for that endpoint without changing the authority used in the HTTP request or the identity used to authenticate the proxy. The path and query components of the expanded URI identify the request target used for the corresponding CONNECT mechanism.

If the URI Template Value is not a syntactically valid URI Template, if it is not in absolute form, if it does not include non-empty scheme, authority, and path components, or if it is otherwise not usable with the MASQUE mechanism identified by the enclosing MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLV, the MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLV MUST be handled as specified in Section 5.3.

For the MASQUE tunnel types defined in this document, the endpoint address requirements in Section 3 replace the need for a Tunnel Egress Endpoint Sub-TLV in [BGP-TUNNEL-ENCAP-ATTR]. The address is supplied by the URI Template when its host is an IPv4 or IPv6 address literal, or by the IP address hints in the SVCB Parameters Sub-TLV otherwise.

5. SVCB Parameters Sub-TLV

The SVCB Parameters Sub-TLV carries connection parameters for the MASQUE proxy identified by the URI Template in the same MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLV. The Sub-TLV Value contains the SvcParams sequence encoded as specified in Section 2.2 of [SVCB], using the "Service Parameter Keys (SvcParamKeys)" registry defined by [SVCB].

The SVCB Parameters Sub-TLV has the following format:

  0                   1                   2                   3
  0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

 ~                          SvcParams                            ~
 |                                                               |
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 2: SVCB Parameters Sub-TLV
Type:

TBD6

Length:

The length, in octets, of the SvcParams field.

SvcParams:

A sequence of one or more SvcParams. Each consists of a two-octet SvcParamKey, a two-octet length of the SvcParamValue, and that number of value octets. The key and length are unsigned integers in network byte order. Values use the wire encoding specified for their respective keys.

The encoding and self-consistency rules of [SVCB] apply to the SvcParams field. An empty SvcParams field is invalid.

Validation of BGP parameters is independent of the receiving speaker's ability to establish a MASQUE tunnel. Lack of support for a connection parameter or an advertised application-layer protocol does not, by itself, invalidate the BGP advertisement.

5.1. Endpoint Validation

The URI Template's address literal and any addresses in ipv4hint or ipv6hint provide endpoint address information that can be validated without a DNS lookup. The address validity rules in Section 3.1 of [BGP-TUNNEL-ENCAP-ATTR] apply to these addresses, including its configuration exceptions and treatment of valid but unreachable addresses.

A receiver MAY apply the procedure in Section 3.1.1 of [BGP-TUNNEL-ENCAP-ATTR] to check whether these addresses belong to the AS that originated the route. When used, its configuration and revalidation rules apply. If present, the URI Template's address literal MUST be the address used for validation, and any addresses in ipv4hint or ipv6hint SHOULD be ignored. The selection of which IP address hints should be validated, if any, is left to the implementation. The validation of more than one address is out of scope for this document. An address found invalid is handled as specified in Section 5.3.

5.2. Use of Connection Parameters

Service parameter semantics and compatibility are defined in Sections 7 and 8 of [SVCB], with the HTTPS mapping in Section 9 of [SVCB]. The URI Template identifies the service being accessed, and its host supplies the effective TargetName. For an IPv4 or IPv6 address literal, that address is used directly.

The address information required for BGP validation does not constrain the addresses used for connection establishment. Section 7.3 of [SVCB] describes the use of address hints and the preference for addresses obtained from A and AAAA records. Procedures for establishing the MASQUE tunnel, including address resolution and protocol negotiation, are outside the scope of this document and follow the applicable HTTP and MASQUE specifications.

5.3. Error Handling

A MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLV is invalid if it does not contain exactly one URI Template Sub-TLV with a valid value, contains more than one SVCB Parameters Sub-TLV, or contains an SVCB Parameters Sub-TLV whose value is malformed or not self-consistent. It is also invalid if it lacks the address information required by Section 3 or any advertised endpoint address is found invalid under Section 5.1. The optional AS-ownership procedure can cause rejection only when it is applied. Unknown SvcParamKeys do not by themselves make a Sub-TLV malformed; their connection-establishment semantics are handled according to [SVCB].

An invalid MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLV MUST be treated as a TLV containing a malformed Tunnel Egress Endpoint Sub-TLV under Section 13 of [BGP-TUNNEL-ENCAP-ATTR]: the entire TLV MUST be ignored and removed from the attribute before propagation. The receiver MUST NOT retain such a TLV by discarding only the SVCB Parameters Sub-TLV or an invalid hint address. The remaining validation and error-handling rules of Section 13 of [BGP-TUNNEL-ENCAP-ATTR] apply, including treat-as-withdraw if no valid TLVs remain and the handling of framing errors in the enclosing attribute.

5.4. Example

A CONNECT-UDP tunnel can advertise the URI Template https://proxy.example.org/masque/udp/{target_host}/{target_port}/ together with these SvcParams, shown in presentation format for readability:

alpn=h3,h2 no-default-alpn port=8443
ipv4hint=192.0.2.1 ipv6hint=2001:db8::1

The SvcParams field is the following 48 octets in hexadecimal:

00 01 00 06 02 68 33 02 68 32
00 02 00 00
00 03 00 02 20 fb
00 04 00 04 c0 00 02 01
00 06 00 10 20 01 0d b8 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01

Both hint addresses are available for validation as described in Section 5.1. These documentation addresses illustrate the encoding; a deployment uses actual proxy addresses.

The connection parameters advertise HTTP/3 over QUIC to UDP port 8443 and HTTP/2 over TLS to TCP port 8443 of proxy.example.org. Address selection follows the applicable connection-establishment procedures. The HTTP authority and authenticated proxy identity remain proxy.example.org.

If the URI Template instead uses an IPv4 or IPv6 address literal as its host, the literal supplies the address for BGP validation and the SVCB Parameters Sub-TLV can be omitted.

6. Use with BGP NLRI

The tunnel types and Sub-TLVs defined in this document are used with the BGP Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute. This document does not define new BGP NLRI or new procedures for associating tunnel encapsulation information with routes.

The NLRI to which the Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute is attached identifies the traffic, service, or reachability information to which the MASQUE tunnel applies. The tunnel type in the Tunnel Encapsulation TLV identifies the MASQUE mechanism used to carry that traffic.

The following examples illustrate possible uses:

Specifications or deployment profiles that use the tunnel types defined in this document may define additional rules for their use with particular AFI/SAFI combinations or service models.

7. Operational Considerations

The tunnel types and Sub-TLVs defined in this document allow BGP to advertise MASQUE tunnel encapsulation parameters associated with BGP routes. Operators MUST ensure that these attributes are propagated only within routing domains where the advertised MASQUE proxy information is intended to be used.

A URI Template carried in BGP can reveal information about proxy names, service structure, or internal topology. Operators MUST apply BGP import and export policy to avoid leaking MASQUE tunnel encapsulation information outside the intended administrative scope.

Multiple MASQUE tunnel candidates can be advertised by including multiple Tunnel Encapsulation TLVs, each containing a single URI Template Sub-TLV and the address information required by Section 3. This can be used to advertise alternative MASQUE proxies. Selection among available tunnel candidates is left to local policy and outside the scope of this specification.

A BGP Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute MAY contain both MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLVs and Tunnel Encapsulation TLVs of other tunnel types defined by [BGP-TUNNEL-ENCAP-ATTR] or subsequent specifications. This document does not define any preference between MASQUE and non-MASQUE tunnel types. Selection among available tunnel types is determined by local policy and the procedures applicable to the associated AFI/SAFI.

Operators should consider the stability of URI Template and SVCB parameter values when attaching MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLVs to routes. Frequent changes to these values can increase route churn. Deployments that advertise the same MASQUE proxy parameters for many routes should consider existing BGP mechanisms and service-specific profiles that avoid unnecessary repetition.

7.1. Parameter Length

[URI-TEMPLATE] does not define a general maximum length for a URI Template. When a URI Template is carried in the URI Template Sub-TLV, the length of the URI Template Value is constrained by the Sub-TLV encoding and by the size of the BGP UPDATE message in which the Sub-TLV is carried.

The URI Template Sub-TLV uses a two-octet Length field. This allows the URI Template Value to be longer than 255 octets. However, long URI Template Values can significantly increase the size of the enclosing BGP UPDATE message and can affect propagation across BGP sessions where BGP Extended Messages [BGP-EXTENDED-MESSAGES] are not used.

URI Template Values SHOULD NOT exceed 1024 octets and should be kept as short as practical.

Deployments that carry MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLVs SHOULD use BGP Extended Messages [BGP-EXTENDED-MESSAGES] on the BGP sessions over which the corresponding routes are propagated. If BGP Extended Messages are not available, URI Template Values MUST be kept small enough that the complete BGP UPDATE message, including all path attributes, NLRI, and protocol overhead, does not exceed 4096 octets. These size considerations also apply to SVCB Parameters Sub-TLVs. Advertisers MUST account for their combined size with the URI Template and all other contents of the UPDATE, even when each Sub-TLV fits its own Length field. If an SVCB Parameters Sub-TLV exceeds a receiver's supported or configured limit, the receiver SHOULD ignore the enclosing MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLV. A truncated parameter set MUST NOT be used, and the receiver MUST NOT bypass the endpoint validation requirements by discarding the Sub-TLV.

If the URI Template Value exceeds the receiver's supported or configured limit, the receiver SHOULD ignore the enclosing MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLV.

If the length of the URI Template results in the BGP UPDATE exceeding the maximum message size, the result may include a lack of reachability, as detailed in [BGP-EXTENDED-MESSAGES]. If BGP Extended Messages are partially supported, the BGP Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute may be discarded [BGP-EXTENDED-MESSAGES], as it is eligible under the "attribute discard" approach of [BGP-ERROR-HANDLING], which would result in the information not reaching the intended recipients. # Security Considerations

The security considerations of [BGP-TUNNEL-ENCAP-ATTR], [CONNECT-UDP], [CONNECT-IP], [CONNECT-TCP], [CONNECT-ETHERNET], [URI-TEMPLATE], [ALPN], and [SVCB] apply.

This document defines BGP signaling for MASQUE tunnel encapsulation parameters. It does not define a new authentication or authorization mechanism for MASQUE proxies, and it does not change the security properties of the MASQUE mechanisms identified by the tunnel types defined in this document.

Authorization to use the MASQUE proxy, including authorization to reach the requested target or to carry the traffic associated with the route, is enforced by the MASQUE proxy and the applicable mechanisms. Implementations MUST NOT treat possession of a BGP route or Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute as sufficient authorization to use a MASQUE proxy.

Misconfiguration, route leaks, or malicious injection of BGP routes carrying MASQUE tunnel encapsulation information can cause traffic to be directed to an unintended MASQUE proxy. This can result in traffic interception, denial of service, policy bypass, or loss of connectivity. Operators should apply the same route filtering, origin validation, session protection, and import/export policy controls used for other BGP routes carrying tunnel encapsulation information. For more details, see Section 11 of [BGP-TUNNEL-ENCAP-ATTR].

The URI Template Sub-TLV can reveal information about proxy hostnames, service structure, tenant identifiers, or internal topology. Such information can be sensitive. Operators should ensure that routes carrying MASQUE Tunnel Encapsulation TLVs are distributed only within the administrative scope where the corresponding MASQUE proxy information is intended to be visible.

The URI Template carried in BGP is used to construct an HTTP request target. Implementations MUST validate the URI Template before use and MUST apply the processing rules in this document and in the applicable MASQUE specification. Implementations MUST NOT expand or use a URI Template in a way that creates a request target outside the scope intended by the received route and local policy.

The SVCB Parameters Sub-TLV can change the transport protocol, destination port, and candidate addresses used to establish a MASQUE tunnel. Receivers MUST apply local connection policy to the resulting endpoint and MUST validate the proxy identity determined by the URI Template. BGP-supplied parameters MUST NOT be treated as proof of that identity or as a reason to bypass TLS certificate validation. Both URI Templates and SVCB parameters can expose internal service configuration and topology.

Endpoint address validation, when performed, checks the addresses carried in BGP. It does not validate a different address subsequently obtained through DNS or authenticate the MASQUE proxy. Connection policy and proxy authentication remain the responsibility of the MASQUE endpoints.
