^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 34)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 35) Currently the Internet Protocol includes two security options. One of
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 36) these options is the DoD Basic Security Option (BSO) (Type 130) which allows
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 37) IP datagrams to be labeled with security classifications. This option
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 38) provides sixteen security classifications and a variable number of handling
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 39) restrictions. To handle additional security information, such as security
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 40) categories or compartments, another security option (Type 133) exists and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 41) is referred to as the DoD Extended Security Option (ESO). The values for
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 42) the fixed fields within these two options are administered by the Defense
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 43) Information Systems Agency (DISA).
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 44)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 45) Computer vendors are now building commercial operating systems with
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 46) mandatory access controls and multi-level security. These systems are
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 47) no longer built specifically for a particular group in the defense or
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 48) intelligence communities. They are generally available commercial systems
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 49) for use in a variety of government and civil sector environments.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 50)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 51) The small number of ESO format codes can not support all the possible
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 52) applications of a commercial security option. The BSO and ESO were
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 53) designed to only support the United States DoD. CIPSO has been designed
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 54) to support multiple security policies. This Internet Draft provides the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 55) format and procedures required to support a Mandatory Access Control
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 56) security policy. Support for additional security policies shall be
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 57) defined in future RFCs.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 76) This option permits security related information to be passed between
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 77) systems within a single Domain of Interpretation (DOI). A DOI is a
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 78) collection of systems which agree on the meaning of particular values
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 79) in the security option. An authority that has been assigned a DOI
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 80) identifier will define a mapping between appropriate CIPSO field values
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 81) and their human readable equivalent. This authority will distribute that
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 82) mapping to hosts within the authority's domain. These mappings may be
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 83) sensitive, therefore a DOI authority is not required to make these
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 84) mappings available to anyone other than the systems that are included in

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 117) not appear as the DOI identifier in any CIPSO option. Implementations
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 118) should assume that the DOI identifier field is not aligned on any particular
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 119) byte boundary.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 121) To conserve space in the protocol, security levels and categories are
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 122) represented by numbers rather than their ASCII equivalent. This requires
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 123) a mapping table within CIPSO hosts to map these numbers to their

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 144) A common format for passing security related information is necessary
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 145) for interoperability. CIPSO uses sets of "tags" to contain the security
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 146) information relevant to the data in the IP packet. Each tag begins with
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 147) a tag type identifier followed by the length of the tag and ends with the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 148) actual security information to be passed. All multi-octet fields in a tag
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 149) are defined to be transmitted in network byte order. Like the DOI
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 150) identifier field in the CIPSO header, implementations should assume that
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 151) all tags, as well as fields within a tag, are not aligned on any particular
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 152) octet boundary. The tag types defined in this document contain alignment
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 153) bytes to assist alignment of some information, however alignment can not
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 154) be guaranteed if CIPSO is not the first IP option.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 155)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 156) CIPSO tag types 0 through 127 are reserved for defining standard tag
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 157) formats. Their definitions will be published in RFCs. Tag types whose
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 158) identifiers are greater than 127 are defined by the DOI authority and may
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 159) only be meaningful in certain Domains of Interpretation. For these tag
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 160) types, implementations will require the DOI identifier as well as the tag
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 161) number to determine the security policy and the format associated with the

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 248)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 249) The length of this field is variable and ranges from 0 to 30 octets. This
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 250) provides representation of categories 0 to 239. The ordering of the bits
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 251) is left to right or MSB to LSB. For example category 0 is represented by
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 252) the most significant bit of the first byte and category 15 is represented
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 253) by the least significant bit of the second byte. Figure 4 graphically
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 254) shows this ordering. Bit N is binary 1 if category N is part of the label
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 255) for the datagram, and bit N is binary 0 if category N is not part of the

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 281) Routers work most efficiently when processing fixed length fields. To
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 282) support these routers there is an optimized form of tag type 1. The format
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 283) does not change. The only change is to the category bitmap which is set to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 284) a constant length of 10 octets. Trailing octets required to fill out the 10
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 285) octets are zero filled. Ten octets, allowing for 80 categories, was chosen
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 286) because it makes the total length of the CIPSO option 20 octets. If CIPSO
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 287) is the only option then the option will be full word aligned and additional

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 429)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 430) The configuration parameters defined below are required for all CIPSO hosts,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 431) gateways, and routers that support multiple sensitivity labels. A CIPSO
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 432) host is defined to be the origination or destination system for an IP
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 433) datagram. A CIPSO gateway provides IP routing services between two or more
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 434) IP networks and may be required to perform label translations between
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 435) networks. A CIPSO gateway may be an enhanced CIPSO host or it may just
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 436) provide gateway services with no end system CIPSO capabilities. A CIPSO
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 437) router is a dedicated IP router that routes IP datagrams between two or more
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 438) IP networks.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 439)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 440) An implementation of CIPSO on a host MUST have the capability to reject a
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 441) datagram for reasons that the information contained can not be adequately
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 442) protected by the receiving host or if acceptance may result in violation of
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 443) the host or network security policy. In addition, a CIPSO gateway or router
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 444) MUST be able to reject datagrams going to networks that can not provide
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 445) adequate protection or may violate the network's security policy. To
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 446) provide this capability the following minimal set of configuration
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 447) parameters are required for CIPSO implementations:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 448)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 449) HOST_LABEL_MAX - This parameter contains the maximum sensitivity label that
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 450) a CIPSO host is authorized to handle. All datagrams that have a label
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 451) greater than this maximum MUST be rejected by the CIPSO host. This
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 452) parameter does not apply to CIPSO gateways or routers. This parameter need
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 453) not be defined explicitly as it can be implicitly derived from the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 454) PORT_LABEL_MAX parameters for the associated interfaces.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 516) The labels represented by the PORT_LABEL_MAX and PORT_LABEL_MIN parameters
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 517) MAY be in CIPSO or local format. Some CIPSO systems, such as routers, may
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 518) want to have the range parameters expressed in CIPSO format so that incoming
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 519) labels do not have to be converted to a local format before being compared

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 532) systems then multiple port range parameters would be needed, one set for

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 535) The port range will usually represent the total set of labels that may

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 544) support the parameters described above. These limited implementations are
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 545) only required to support a NET_LABEL parameter. This parameter contains
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 546) the CIPSO label that may be inserted in datagrams that exit the host. In
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 547) addition, the host MUST reject any incoming datagram that has a label which

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 553) This section describes the processing requirements for incoming and
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 554) outgoing IP datagrams. Just providing the correct CIPSO label format
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 555) is not enough. Assumptions will be made by one system on how a
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 556) receiving system will handle the CIPSO label. Wrong assumptions may
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 557) lead to non-interoperability or even a security incident. The
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 558) requirements described below represent the minimal set needed for
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 559) interoperability and that provide users some level of confidence.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 560) Many other requirements could be added to increase user confidence,
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 561) however at the risk of restricting creativity and limiting vendor
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 562) participation.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 566)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 567) All datagrams received through a network port MUST have a security label
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 568) associated with them, either contained in the datagram or assigned to the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 569) receiving port. Without this label the host, gateway, or router will not
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 570) have the information it needs to make security decisions. This security
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 571) label will be obtained from the CIPSO if the option is present in the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 572) datagram. See section 4.1.2 for handling procedures for unlabeled
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 573) datagrams. This label will be compared against the PORT (if appropriate)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 574) and HOST configuration parameters defined in section 3.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 575)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 576) If any field within the CIPSO option, such as the DOI identifier, is not
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 577) recognized the IP datagram is discarded and an ICMP "parameter problem"
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 578) (type 12) is generated and returned. The ICMP code field is set to "bad
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 579) parameter" (code 0) and the pointer is set to the start of the CIPSO field
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 580) that is unrecognized.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 581)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 582) If the contents of the CIPSO are valid but the security label is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 583) outside of the configured host or port label range, the datagram is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 584) discarded and an ICMP "destination unreachable" (type 3) is generated
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 585) and returned. The code field of the ICMP is set to "communication with
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 586) destination network administratively prohibited" (code 9) or to

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 600) the originator of the ICMP message is acting as a CIPSO host or a CIPSO
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 601) gateway. The recipient of the ICMP message MUST be able to handle either
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 602) value. The same procedure is performed if a CIPSO can not be added to an

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 605) If the error is triggered by receipt of an ICMP message, the message
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 606) is discarded and no response is permitted (consistent with general ICMP

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 612) The default condition for any CIPSO implementation is that an

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 614) handled as described in section 4.1. A CIPSO implementation MAY allow

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 622) A network port may be configured to not require a CIPSO label for all
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 623) incoming datagrams. For this configuration a CIPSO label must be
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 624) assigned to that network port and associated with all unlabeled IP
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 625) datagrams. This capability might be used for single level networks or
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 626) networks that have CIPSO and non-CIPSO hosts and the non-CIPSO hosts

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 632) is set to "option missing" (code 1) and the ICMP pointer is set to 134
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 633) (the value of the option type for the missing CIPSO option).

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 637)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 638) A CIPSO option MUST appear only once in a datagram. Only one tag type
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 639) from the MAC Sensitivity class MAY be included in a CIPSO option. Given
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 640) the current set of defined tag types, this means that CIPSO labels at
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 641) first will contain only one tag.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 642)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 643) All datagrams leaving a CIPSO system MUST meet the following condition:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 644)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 645) PORT_LABEL_MIN <= CIPSO label <= PORT_LABEL_MAX
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 646)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 647) If this condition is not satisfied the datagram MUST be discarded.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 648) If the CIPSO system only supports one port, the HOST_LABEL_MIN and the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 649) HOST_LABEL_MAX parameters MAY be substituted for the PORT parameters in
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 650) the above condition.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 651)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 652) The DOI identifier to be used for all outgoing datagrams is configured by

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 665) the PORT_DOI configuration parameter MUST contain the DOI identifier to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 666) use. If network level DOI assignment is used, then the NET_DOI parameter
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 667) MUST contain the DOI identifier to use. And if host level DOI assignment
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 668) is employed, then the HOST_DOI parameter MUST contain the DOI identifier
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 669) to use. A CIPSO implementation need only support one level of DOI
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 670) assignment.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 674)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 675) A CIPSO implementation MUST support at least one DOI and SHOULD support
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 676) multiple DOIs. System and network administrators are cautioned to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 677) ensure that at least one DOI is common within an IP network to allow for
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 678) broadcasting of IP datagrams.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 679)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 680) CIPSO gateways MUST be capable of translating a CIPSO option from one
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 681) DOI to another when forwarding datagrams between networks. For
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 682) efficiency purposes this capability is only a desired feature for CIPSO
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 683) routers.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 687)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 688) The CIPSO label to be used on all outgoing ICMP messages MUST be equivalent
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 689) to the label of the datagram that caused the ICMP message. If the ICMP was
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 690) generated due to a problem associated with the original CIPSO label then the
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 691) following responses are allowed:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 692)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 693) a. Use the CIPSO label of the original IP datagram
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 694) b. Drop the original datagram with no return message generated
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 695)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 696) In most cases these options will have the same effect. If you can not
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 697) interpret the label or if it is outside the label range of your host or
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 698) interface then an ICMP message with the same label will probably not be
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 699) able to exit the system.
