3. 11 December, 200049th IETF, AAA WG3 Why are there proxies? Proxies are useful for several reasons:  They can distribute administration of systems to a configurable grouping, including the maintenance of security associations,  They can be used for concentration of requests from an number of co-located or distributed NAS equipment sets to a set of like user groups  They can do value-added processing to the requests or responses  They can used for load balancing,  A complex network will have multiple authentication sources, they can sort requests and forward towards the correct target

5. 11 December, 200049th IETF, AAA WG5 Routing Proxies Forward requests to appropriate targets –NAI parse and server lookup –Aggregate management for multiple NAS POP –Can be security holder for multiple NASes –Can be stateless

6. 11 December, 200049th IETF, AAA WG6 Policy Proxies Value added management using AAA stream Often used to manage dynamic resource allocation across NASes –eg. Call control center, port balancing

7. 11 December, 200049th IETF, AAA WG7 Broker Proxies A go-between for administrative domains –matches a request from an access ISP with the provider network –subscribed services; each party signs up, service aggreement in place –security information for contact points

8. 11 December, 200049th IETF, AAA WG8 State Taxonomy Issues often bring up “state” –Message State - getting the message to your peer –Transaction State - tracking the request and response –Session State - tracking the active session –Global State - tracking sessions across multiple sources

9. 11 December, 200049th IETF, AAA WG9 Problems that Proxies bring up Transactional Reliability - Acks and feedback at some level Failover and Recovery management Graceful Shutdown Congestion Potential
