+Abstract
+
+ This draft documents the Web Cache Coordination Protocol (WCCP)
+ V1.0. This protocol is used (a) to associate a single router with one
+ or more web-caches for the purposes of transparent redirection of HTTP
+ traffic, and (b) to allow one of the web-caches to dictate how the
+ router distributes transparently-redirected traffic across the
+ associated web-caches.
+
+ This draft describes the interactions between a router and one or more
+ web-caches. It does not describe the interactions between a group of
+ associated web-caches or those between a web-cache and a web-server.
+
+
+
+
+ [Page 1]
+\f
+Definitions
+
+ Transparent Redirection.
+
+ Transparent redirection is a technique used to deploy web-caching
+ without the need for reconfiguration of web-clients. It involves the
+ interception and redirection of HTTP traffic to one or more web-caches
+ by a router or switch, transparently to the web-client.
+
+ Web-Cache Farm.
+
+ One or more web-caches associated with a router.
+
+ Designated Web-Cache.
+
+ The web-cache in a web-cache farm responsible for dictating to the
+ router how redirected traffic should be distributed across the members
+ of the farm.
+
+ Redirection Hash Table.
+
+ A 256-bucket hash table maintained by the router. This table maps the
+ IP destination address of a packet for redirection to the IP address
+ of a web-cache in the farm
+
+Description of Protocol
+
+ WCCP has two main functions. The first is to allow a router enabled
+ for transparent redirection to discover, verify, and advertise
+ connectivity to one or more web-caches.
+
+ The second function is to allow one of the web-caches, the designated
+ web-cache, to dictate how the router distributes redirected traffic
+ across the web-cache farm.
+
+ It is recommended that the web-cache with the lowest IP address is
+ elected as designated web-cache for a farm.
+
+Discovery
+
+ WCCP V1.0 allows a single router to be associated with one or more
+ web-caches. A group of web-caches associated with a router is referred
+ to as a web-cache farm. A web-cache may be directly attached to the
+ router or some hops distant.
+
+Joining a web-cache farm
+
+ A web-cache joins a web-cache farm by periodically unicasting a
+
+
+
+ [Page 2]
+\f
+ WCCP_HERE_I_AM packet to the router associated with the farm at
+ intervals of HERE_I_AM_T (10) seconds. The source IP address of the
+ WCCP_HERE_I_AM uniquely identifies the web-cache. The router unicasts
+ a WCCP_I_SEE_YOU packet back to the web-cache in response to each
+ WCCP_HERE_I_AM it receives.
+
+Verifying connectivity
+
+ The Received_ID fields in the WCCP_HERE_I_AM and WCCP_I_SEE_YOU
+ packets are used to verify two-way connectivity between the router and
+ web-cache. The router increments the value of the Received_ID field
+ each time it sends a WCCP_I_SEE_YOU to a web-cache and expects to
+ receive the same value back in the Received_ID field of the next
+ WCCP_HERE_I_AM from that cache. WCCP_HERE_I_AM packets containing an
+ invalid Received_ID are ignored.
+
+ The Received_ID in the initial WCCP_HERE_I_AM sent from a web-cache is
+ ignored. The router will only consider a web-cache to be reachable
+ when it has received a subsequent WCCP_HERE_I_AM with a correct
+ Received_ID. Note that a useable web-cache is merely reachable; the
+ router will not redirect traffic to a newly-acquired useable web-cache
+ until instructed to do so in a WCCP_ASSIGN_BUCKETS packet from the
+ designated web-cache.
+
+Advertising connectivity
+
+ The router includes a list of the web-caches it considers to be usable
+ in each WCCP_I_SEE_YOU packet it transmits. Each entry in the list
+ includes the IP address of the web-cache and indicates which buckets
+ in the Redirection Hash Table are currently assigned to that
+ web-cache. This information is provided for the benefit of the
+ designated web-cache.
+
+ A Change ID in the WCCP_I_SEE_YOU packet is incremented whenever the
+ web-cache list changes or the bucket allocation for an entry in the
+ list is modified.
+
+Timing-out a web-cache
+
+ If the router does not receive a valid WCCP_HERE_I_AM for 3 *
+ HERE_I_AM_T seconds it will no longer consider a web-cache to be
+ useable. In this case the web-cache is no longer advertised in the
+ WCCP_I_SEE_YOU packet and all buckets previously assigned to the
+ web-cache in the router's Redirection Hash Table are marked as
+ unassigned.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ [Page 3]
+\f
+Assignment
+
+ The router associated with a web-cache farm distributes redirected
+ traffic by destination IP address across the members of the farm as
+ directed by the designated web-cache via the WCCP_ASSIGN_BUCKETS
+ packet.
+
+ How the designated web-cache arrives at the traffic distribution
+ described by the WCCP_ASSIGN_BUCKETS packet is outside the scope of
+ this draft.
+
+ Since the router has no knowledge of the designated web-cache election
+ process it will accept a WCCP_ASSIGN_BUCKETS packet from any member of
+ the web-cache farm.
+
+ The value of the Received_ID in the WCCP_ASSIGN_BUCKETS packet must
+ match that in the last WCCP_I_SEE_YOU sent to the designated
+ web-cache. If the Received_ID is not valid the router will ignore the
+ WCCP_ASSIGN_BUCKETS packet.
+
+ On receipt of a valid WCCP_ASSIGN_BUCKETS packet the router will set
+ its Redirection Hash Table from information contained in the
+ packet. This information comprises a list of web-caches followed by a
+ 256-bucket hash table. The position of a web-cache in the list is its
+ index number, the index number of the first entry being zero. Each
+ bucket in the hash table may contain the value 0xFF, indicating no
+ web-cache has been assigned to that bucket, or the index number of a
+ web-cache.
+
+ The router does not generate a packet in response to the
+ WCCP_ASSIGN_BUCKET. However the change in the Redirection Hash Table
+ will be reflected in subsequent WCCP_I_SEE_YOU packets generated by
+ the router.
+
+Packet Redirection
+
+Detection
+
+ The router detects HTTP packets (TCP packets with a destination port
+ number of 80) and redirects them to a web-cache in the web-cache farm.
+
+ The destination IP address of a candidate packet is hashed to yield an
+ index into the 256-bucket Redirection Hash Table. The indexed bucket
+ indicates to which web-cache the packet should be redirected. If the
+ bucket in the Redirection Hash Table is unassigned the packet cannot
+ be redirected and should be forwarded normally.
+
+
+
+
+
+ [Page 4]
+\f
+Encapsulation
+
+ Each redirected packet is encapsulated in a GRE packet[1]. The
+ encapsulation uses the base four-octet GRE header with the two Flags
+ and version octets set to zero and a Protocol Type of 0x883E.
+
+ An encapsulated packet may be fragmented if it exceeds the output
+ interface's MTU.
+
+Returned packets
+
+ The router must ensure that HTTP traffic passing through it from
+ members of the web-cache farm en-route to a web-server is not
+ redirected.
+
+ The router will not redirect any packet with a source address
+ belonging to a member of the web-cache farm.

+Abstract
+
+ This document describes the wpad abstract type. The wpad service
+ provides access to web proxy auto-discovery (WPAD) configuration
+ files (CFILEs). This service type can be used in conjunction with
+ the Service Location Protocol (SLP) to dynamically retrieve CFILEs
+ which can automatically configure web browsers with suitable web
+ proxies.
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ The Service Location Protocol is defined in [1]. Service templates
+
+
+
+Wood, Tam expires February 2000 [Page 1]
+\f
+INTERNET DRAFT August 1999
+
+
+ and abstract types are defined in [2]. The wpad abstract type is
+ intended to organize information pertaining to the location and
+ access method needed to dynamically obtain CFILEs. For more
+ information on CFILEs and WPAD, see [3].
+
+ The content of the WPAD file is opaque as far as this service type
+ is concerned. Different browsers may interpret CFILEs in
+ different ways. Hence customized CFILEs may be needed to
+ service various browsers. A "config-method" attribute is specified
+ in the template to allow web browsers to use SLP to search for
+ a suitable CFILE.
+
+ CFILEs tell web browsers which web proxies are available, and
+ how to select the proper one for its needs. This service type does
+ NOT contain any information about how to directly access web proxies.
+
+ Similarly, CFILEs do NOT contain any configuration information
+ for other web browser functions. The wpad service is not an
+ application configuration service.
+
+ The concrete type should be the access protocol used to retrieve
+ the CFILE. The URL should also specify the host that provides
+ access to the CFILE, and a path relative to the server host
+ that names the location of the CFILE. An example of a valid
+ wpad service: URL follows:
+
+ service:wpad:http://wserver.sun.com:8080/proxy-config/eng.proxy
+
+ A configuration URL (CURL) as defined in [3] can be extracted from
+ this service: URL simply by removing the leading "service:".
+
+2. The "wpad" Abstract Service
+
+ Name of submitter: "Jonathan Wood" <jonathan.wood@eng.sun.com>
+
+ Language of service template: en
+
+ Security Considerations: If a web browser is tricked into retrieving
+ a malicious CFILE, it could suffer denial-of-service attacks, or
+ potentially betray confidential information. As such, the web browser
+ should take care to ensure that the CFILE is not malicious. The use
+ of SLP's protected scopes is a means of ensuring a CFILE's validity.
