Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) - Vehicular Communications - GeoNetworking - Part 6: Internet Integration - Sub-part 1: Transmission of IPv6 Packets over GeoNetworking Protocols

The present document specifies the transmission of IPv6 packets over the ETSI GeoNetworking protocol as defined in ETSI EN 302 636-4-1 [7] via a protocol adaptation sub-layer referred to as the GN6ASL (GeoNetworking to IPv6 Adaptation Sub-Layer). The scope of the present document is limited to the GN6ASL. The techniques specified in the present document fulfil the requirements for GeoNetworking and IPv6 integration described in ETSI EN 302 636-1 [3]. In particular, these techniques allow for the transport of IPv6 packets by ETSI GeoNetworking protocol given in ETSI EN 302 636-4-1 [7], enabling sub-IP multi-hop delivery of IPv6 packets, e.g. in a vehicular network. As a result, the connectivity provided by points-of-attachment to IPv6 infrastructure networks is extended by means of mobile relay nodes. In addition to that, the techniques described in the present document allow for geocasting of IPv6 multicast packets. The scope of the GN6ASL is limited to the fulfilment of the requirements for GeoNetworking and IPv6 integration described in ETSI EN 302 636-1 [3], clause 5.9, by enabling an ITS station including a GeoAdhoc router as given in ETSI EN 302 636-4-1 [7] running the GeoNetworking protocol and an IPv6-compliant protocol layer to:
• exchange IPv6 packets with other ITS stations;
• acquire globally routable IPv6 unicast addresses and communicate with an arbitrary IPv6 host located in the Internet, whenever an ITS station including a GeoAdhoc router and including or connected to an access router [5] providing IPv6 connectivity to the Internet is reachable directly or via other relay ITS stations;
• perform the operations required by IETF RFC 3963 [14] for a Mobile Router whenever:
a) an ITS mobile router supporting Network Mobility Basic Support (NEMO BS) as defined in IETF RFC 3963 [14] is present in the ITS station and runs on top of the GN6ASL; and
b) an ITS station including a GeoAdhoc router and including or connected to an access router as defined in ETSI TS 102 636-3 [5] providing IPv6 connectivity to the Internet is reachable directly or via other relay ITS stations.
NOTE: The present document adopts the definition of "IPv6-compliant" and "sub-IP multi-hop delivery"
introduced in clause 3.1. Extending the IPv6 basic standards IETF RFC 2460 [8], IETF RFC 4291 [9], IETF RFC 4007 [10], IETF RFC 4861 [11] and IETF RFC 4862 [13] to support new features is outside the scope of the present document. Extensions to NEMO BS as given in IETF RFC 3963 [14] are outside the scope of the present document. Mechanisms for the dissemination of IPv6 routing information for hosts and routers not directly attaching to the network where GeoNetworking is used are outside the scope of the present document (e.g. discovery of IPv6 in-vehicle prefixes). However, the present document aims at providing the underlying support for the dissemination of such routing information, i.e. IPv6 multicast support for the network where the GeoNetworking protocol is used. With respect to IPv6 multicast and anycast support, the present document is limited to the support required to enable distribution of IPv6 multicast and anycast traffic on a shared link. Amendments to specific IPv6 multicast forwarding mechanisms are out of the scope of the present document. However, the present document aims at not preventing existing IPv6 multicast forwarding mechanisms from being used in conjunction with the GN6ASL. In order to facilitate the deployment of ITS systems, the present document aims at maintaining backward compatibility with pre-existent IPv6-compliant protocol implementations and NEMO BS implementations compliant with IETF RFC 3963 [14]. A usage example of NEMO BS with the GN6ASL is presented in the informative annex F. The mechanisms specified in the present document are distinct from but compatible with the IPv6-related functionalities given in ISO 21210-2010 [i.20], which specifies how IPv6 networking is generally operated in ITS stations.

Inteligentni transportni sistemi (ITS) - Komunikacije med vozili - Geomreženje - 6. del: Vključitev v internet - 1. poddel: Prenos paketov IPv6 po protokolih geomreženja

Ta dokument določa prenos paketov IPv6 po protokolu geomreženj ETSI, kot je opredeljeno v ETSI EN 302 636-4-1 [7], prek podsloja prilagoditve protokola, imenovanega GN6ASL (GeoNetworking to IPv6 Adaptation Sub-Layer). Obseg tega dokumenta je omejen na GN6ASL. Tehnike, določene v tem dokumentu, izpolnjujejo zahteve za vključitev geomreženja in IPv6, opisane v ETSI EN 302 636-1 [3]. Te tehnike predvsem omogočajo prenos paketov IPv6 s protokolom geomreženja ETSI, podanim v ETSI EN 302 636-4-1 [7], kar omogoča sub-IP multi-hop prenose paketov IPv6 v, na primer v omrežju vozil. Povezljivost, ki jo zagotavljajo točke za povezovanje na omrežja z infrastrukturo IPv6, je posledično razširjena prek mobilnih posredniških vozlišč. Poleg tega metode, opisane v tem dokumentu, omogočajo usmerjanje prenosa paketov IPv6 več prejemnikom glede na geografsko lokacijo. Področje uporabe GN6ASL je omejeno na izpolnjevanje zahtev za integracijo geomreženja in IPv6, opisano v točki 5.9 ETSI EN 302 636-1 [3], z omogočanjem postaje ITS, ki vključuje usmerjevalnik GeoAdhoc, kot je določeno v ETSI EN 302 636-4-1 [7], ki poganja protokol geomreženja in sloj protokola, ki je združljiv z IPv6 za:
• izmenjavo IPv6 paketov z drugimi postajami ITS;
• pridobitev globalno usmerjenih unicast naslovov IPv6 in komuniciranje z arbitrarnim gostiteljem IPv6, ki se nahaja v internetu, vedno, ko je postaja ITS z usmerjevalnikom GeoAdhoc, ki vključuje ali je povezana na dostopni usmerjevalnik [5], ki zagotavlja povezljivost IPv6 z internetom, neposredno dostopna ali dostopna prek drugih posredniških postaj ITS;
• izvajanje operacij, ki jih zahteva IETF RFC 3963 [14] za mobilni usmerjevalnik vedno, ko:
a) je mobilni usmerjevalnik ITS, ki podpira Network Mobility Basic Support (NEMO BS), definiran v IETF RFC 3963 [14], prisoten v postaji ITS in deluje poleg GN6ASL; in
b) je postaja ITS z usmerjevalnikom GeoAdhoc, ki vključuje ali je povezana na dostopni usmerjevalnik, ki je definirana v ETSI TS 102 636-3 [5] in ki zagotavlja povezljivost IPv6 z internetom, neposredno dostopna ali dostopna prek drugih posredniških postaj ITS
OPOMBA: Ta dokument sprejme definiciji za »združljiv z IPv6« in »sub-IP multi-hop prenos«,
ki sta bili vpeljani v točki 3.1. Razširitev osnovnih standardov IPv6 IETF RFC 2460 [8], IETF RFC 4291 [9], IETF RFC 4007 [10], IETF RFC 4861 [11] in IETF RFC 4862 [13] za podporo novih funkcij ne spada na področje uporabe tega dokumenta. Razširitve za NEMO BS, kot so določene v IETF RFC 3963 [14], ne spadajo v področje uporabe tega dokumenta. Mehanizmi za širjenje informacij o usmerjanju IPv6 za gostitelje in usmerjevalnike, ki niso neposredno povezani v omrežje, kjer se uporablja geomreženje, ne spadajo v področje uporabe tega dokumenta (npr. odkritje predpon IPv6 v vozilu). Kljub temu je cilj tega dokumenta zagotavljanje osnovne podpore za širjenje informacij o usmerjanju, tj. podpora prenosa paketov več prejemnikom IPv6 za omrežja, kjer se uporablja geomreženje. V zvezi s podporo za prenos paketov več uporabnikom (multicast) in najbližjim uporabnikom (anycast) IPv6 je ta dokument omejen na podporo, ki je potrebna za porazdelitev prometa več uporabnikom in najbližjim uporabnikom prek skupne povezave. Dodatki k določenim mehanizmom za posredovanje podatkov več uporabnikom IPv6 ne spadajo v področje uporabe tega dokumenta.

Introduction The ETSI GeoNetworking protocol as defined in ETSI EN 302 636-4-1 [7] and given in ETSI TS 102 636-4-2 [i.23] is a non-IP network-layer protocol that provides geographic addressing and forwarding and belongs to the position-based routing protocols category. Applications and facilities specifically designed for GeoNetworking exploit these functionalities, for example to disseminate warning or generic information messages to geographically scoped areas. The GeoNetworking protocol satisfies the requirements of several ITS services, whose application domain is limited to networks that are disconnected from large existing network infrastructures. However, several ITS applications require the integration of ITS stations with larger networks such as private transport networks or the Internet. In order to connect networks based on GeoNetworking to networks running the Internet Protocol (IP), which represent the majority of currently deployed large networks, it is necessary to allow GeoNetworking ITS stations to act like Internet hosts or routers. The ETSI Technical Committee ITS recognizes IP version 6 as defined in IETF RFC 2460 [8] as the primary version of IP to be necessarily supported by ITS stations. The present document introduces a set of mechanisms that allow the GeoNetworking protocol to transport IPv6 packets without introducing modifications to existing IPv6 protocol implementations. By deploying these mechanisms, the following two main advantages are achieved: 1) coverage offered by points-of-attachment to the Internet, such as road-side ITS stations, is extended by means of sub-IP geographic routing; and 2) IPv6 multicast traffic can be geocasted, i.e. addressed and delivered to all ITS stations currently located within a geographic area.

ETSI ETSI EN 302 636-6-1 V1.2.1 (2014-05)7 The present document includes a data SAP that enables an IPv6 protocol entity to send and receive packets over the GeoNetworking protocol. This SAP is described in the informative annex C. The present document does not include a management SAP towards the ITS station management entity. NOTE: In the reminder of the present document, when the sole term "GeoNetworking" is used, it is to be regarded as the ETSI GeoNetworking protocol combining the media-independent part outlined in ETSI EN 302 636-4-1 [7] and at least one of the media-dependent parts (such as ETSI TS 102 636-4-2 [i.23]). It should be noted that the media-dependent extensions do not represent distinct protocol layers. SIST EN 302 636-6-1 V1.2.1:2014



ETSI ETSI EN 302 636-6-1 V1.2.1 (2014-05)8 1 Scope The present document specifies the transmission of IPv6 packets over the ETSI GeoNetworking protocol as defined in ETSI EN 302 636-4-1 [7] via a protocol adaptation sub-layer referred to as the GN6ASL (GeoNetworking to IPv6 Adaptation Sub-Layer). The scope of the present document is limited to the GN6ASL.

b) an ITS station including a GeoAdhoc router and including or connected to an access router as defined in ETSI TS 102 636-3 [5] providing IPv6 connectivity to the Internet is reachable directly or via other relay ITS stations.
NOTE: The present document adopts the definition of "IPv6-compliant" and "sub-IP multi-hop delivery" introduced in clause 3.1. Extending the IPv6 basic standards IETF RFC 2460 [8], IETF RFC 4291 [9], IETF RFC 4007 [10], IETF RFC 4861 [11] and IETF RFC 4862 [13] to support new features is outside the scope of the present document.

In order to facilitate the deployment of ITS systems, the present document aims at maintaining backward compatibility with pre-existent IPv6-compliant protocol implementations and NEMO BS implementations compliant with IETF RFC 3963 [14]. A usage example of NEMO BS with the GN6ASL is presented in the informative annex F. The mechanisms specified in the present document are distinct from but compatible with the IPv6-related functionalities given in ISO 21210-2010 [i.20], which specifies how IPv6 networking is generally operated in ITS stations. The techniques described in the present document provide a way to transport IPv6 packets that is fully compatible with the IPv6 specifications and pre-existing implementations, and hence is compatible with ISO 21210-2010 [i.20].

Introduction
The ETSI GeoNetworking protocol as defined in ETSI EN 302 636-4-1 [7] and given in ETSI TS 102 636-4-2 [i.23] is
a non-IP network-layer protocol that provides geographic addressing and forwarding and belongs to the position-based
routing protocols category. Applications and facilities specifically designed for GeoNetworking exploit these
functionalities, for example to disseminate warning or generic information messages to geographically scoped areas.
The GeoNetworking protocol satisfies the requirements of several ITS services, whose application domain is limited to
networks that are disconnected from large existing network infrastructures. However, several ITS applications require
the integration of ITS stations with larger networks such as private transport networks or the Internet.
In order to connect networks based on GeoNetworking to networks running the Internet Protocol (IP), which represent
the majority of currently deployed large networks, it is necessary to allow GeoNetworking ITS stations to act like
Internet hosts or routers. The ETSI Technical Committee ITS recognizes IP version 6 as defined in IETF RFC 2460 [8]
as the primary version of IP to be necessarily supported by ITS stations.
The present document introduces a set of mechanisms that allow the GeoNetworking protocol to transport IPv6 packets
without introducing modifications to existing IPv6 protocol implementations. By deploying these mechanisms, the
following two main advantages are achieved:
1) coverage offered by points-of-attachment to the Internet, such as road-side ITS stations, is extended by means
of sub-IP geographic routing; and
2) IPv6 multicast traffic can be geocasted, i.e. addressed and delivered to all ITS stations currently located within
a geographic area.

The present document includes a data SAP that enables an IPv6 protocol entity to send and receive packets over the
GeoNetworking protocol. This SAP is described in the informative annex C. The present document does not include a
management SAP towards the ITS station management entity.
NOTE: In the reminder of the present document, when the sole term "GeoNetworking" is used, it is to be
regarded as the ETSI GeoNetworking protocol combining the media-independent part outlined in ETSI
EN 302 636-4-1 [7] and at least one of the media-dependent parts (such as ETSI TS 102 636-4-2 [i.23]).
It should be noted that the media-dependent extensions do not represent distinct protocol layers.

1 Scope
The present document specifies the transmission of IPv6 packets over the ETSI GeoNetworking protocol as defined in
ETSI EN 302 636-4-1 [7] via a protocol adaptation sub-layer referred to as the GN6ASL (GeoNetworking to IPv6
Adaptation Sub-Layer). The scope of the present document is limited to the GN6ASL.
The techniques specified in the present document fulfil the requirements for GeoNetworking and IPv6 integration
described in ETSI EN 302 636-1 [3]. In particular, these techniques allow for the transport of IPv6 packets by ETSI
GeoNetworking protocol given in ETSI EN 302 636-4-1 [7], enabling sub-IP multi-hop delivery of IPv6 packets, e.g. in
a vehicular network. As a result, the connectivity provided by points-of-attachment to IPv6 infrastructure networks is
extended by means of mobile relay nodes. In addition to that, the techniques described in the present document allow
for geocasting of IPv6 multicast packets.
The scope of the GN6ASL is limited to the fulfilment of the requirements for GeoNetworking and IPv6 integration
described in ETSI EN 302 636-1 [3], clause 5.9, by enabling an ITS station including a GeoAdhoc router as given in
ETSI EN 302 636-4-1 [7] running the GeoNetworking protocol and an IPv6-compliant protocol layer to:
• exchange IPv6 packets with other ITS stations;
• acquire globally routable IPv6 unicast addresses and communicate with an arbitrary IPv6 host located in the
Internet, whenever an ITS station including a GeoAdhoc router and including or connected to an access
router [5] providing IPv6 connectivity to the Internet is reachable directly or via other relay ITS stations;
• perform the operations required by IETF RFC 3963 [14] for a Mobile Router whenever:
a) an ITS mobile router supporting Network Mobility Basic Support (NEMO BS) as defined in IETF
RFC 3963 [14] is present in the ITS station and runs on top of the GN6ASL; and
b) an ITS station including a GeoAdhoc router and including or connected to an access router as defined
in ETSI TS 102 636-3 [5] providing IPv6 connectivity to the Internet is reachable directly or via other
relay ITS stations.
NOTE: The present document adopts the definition of "IPv6-compliant" and "sub-IP multi-hop delivery"
introduced in clause 3.1.
Extending the IPv6 basic standards IETF RFC 2460 [8], IETF RFC 4291 [9], IETF RFC 4007 [10], IETF
RFC 4861 [11] and IETF RFC 4862 [13] to support new features is outside the scope of the present document.
Extensions to NEMO BS as given in IETF RFC 3963 [14] are outside the scope of the present document. Mechanisms
for the dissemination of IPv6 routing information for hosts and routers not directly attaching to the network where
GeoNetworking is used are outside the scope of the present document (e.g. discovery of IPv6 in-vehicle prefixes).
However, the present document aims at providing the underlying support for the dissemination of such routing
information, i.e. IPv6 multicast support for the network where the GeoNetworking protocol is used.
With respect to IPv6 multicast and anycast support, the present document is limited to the support required to enable
distribution of IPv6 multicast and anycast traffic on a shared link. Amendments to specific IPv6 multicast forwarding
mechanisms are out of the scope of the present document. However, the present document aims at not preventing
existing IPv6 multicast forwarding mechanisms from being used in conjunction with the GN6ASL.
In order to facilitate the deployment of ITS systems, the present document aims at maintaining backward compatibility
with pre-existent IPv6-compliant protocol implementations and NEMO BS implementations compliant with IETF
RFC 3963 [14]. A usage example of NEMO BS with the GN6ASL is presented in the informative annex F.
The mechanisms specified in the present document are distinct from but compatible with the IPv6-related functionalities
given in ISO 21210-2010 [i.20], which specifies how IPv6 networking is generally operated in ITS stations. The
techniques described in the present document provide a way to transport IPv6 packets that is fully compatible with the
IPv6 specifications and pre-existing implementations, and hence is compatible with ISO 21210-2010 [i.20].
