+
+``lease_query``: Leasequery Support
+===================================
+
+This library provides support for DHCPv4 Leasequery as described in
+`RFC 4388 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4388>`__; and for DHCPv6
+Leasequery (`RFC 5007 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5007>`__).
+
+.. note::
+
+ This library can only be loaded by the ``kea-dhcp4`` or
+ ``kea-dhcp6`` process.
+
+The Leasequery library is only available to ISC customers with a paid support contract.
+
+.. _lease-query-dhcpv4:
+
+DHCPv4 Leasequery
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+DHCPv4 simple Leasequery provides a requester the ability to query for
+active lease information for either a single IP address or a single client.
+RFC 4388 calls for three such queries:
+
+- Query by IP address
+
+ The IP address of interest is contained within the ``ciaddr`` field of
+ the query.
+- Query by hardware address
+
+ The hardware address of interest is contained with the ``chaddr`` field
+ of the query.
+- Query by client identifier
+
+ The client identifier of interest is sent in the ``dhcp-client-identifier``
+ option (61) of the query.
+
+The inbound DHCPLEASEQUERY packet must supply only one of the three values
+above. Queries which supply more than one of these values are dropped.
+
+In addition, the query must contain the IP address of the requester in
+``giaddr``. This value is used not only as the destination for the
+query response but also to validate the requester against a known
+list of IP addresses which are permitted to query. This list of valid
+requester addresses is specified as part of the Leasequery hook library's
+configuration (see the section on configuration below).
+
+In response to a valid query, the server returns one of three message
+types:
+
+- DHCPLEASEUNKNOWN
+
+ Returned when the IP address of interest is not one the server knows
+ about (query by IP address); or there are no active leases for the
+ client of interest (query by hardware address or client ID).
+
+- DHCPLEASEUNASSIGNED
+
+ Returned when the IP address is one the server knows of but for which
+ there are no active leases (applies only to query by IP address).
+
+- DHCPLEASEACTIVE
+
+ Returned when there is at least one active lease found matching the
+ criteria.
+
+For both DHCPLEASEUNKNOWN and DHCPLEASEUNASSIGNED responses, the only
+information sent back to the requester in response is the query parameter
+itself (i.e. one of: IP address, hardware address, or client identifier).
+
+For DHCPLEASEACTIVE the server provides the following information
+for the newest active lease that matches the criteria, in the response:
+
+- ``ciaddr`` - set to the lease's IP address
+- ``chaddr`` - set to the lease's hardware address
+
+In addition, one or more of the following options are included:
+
+.. tabularcolumns:: |p{0.2\linewidth}|p{0.1\linewidth}|p{0.7\linewidth}|
+
+.. table:: DHCPLEASEACTIVE options
+ :class: longtable
+ :widths: 30 10 70
+
+ +------------------------------+-------+-----------------------------------------------+
+ | Option | Code | Content |
+ +==============================+=======+===============================================+
+ | dhcp-client-identifier | 61 | copied from the lease (if appropriate) |
+ +------------------------------+-------+-----------------------------------------------+
+ | client-last-transaction-time | 91 | the amount of time that has elapsed since the |
+ | | | lease's client-last-transaction-time (CLTT). |
+ | | | This value is also used by the server to |
+ | | | adjust lifetime and timer values. |
+ +------------------------------+-------+-----------------------------------------------+
+ | dhcp-lease-time | 51 | lease's lifetime reduced by CLTT |
+ +------------------------------+-------+-----------------------------------------------+
+ | dhcp-renewal-time | 58 | as controlled by kea-dhcp4 configuration and |
+ | | | then reduced by CLTT |
+ +------------------------------+-------+-----------------------------------------------+
+ | dhcp-rebind-time | 59 | as dictated by kea-dhcp4 configuration and |
+ | | | then reduced by CLTT |
+ +------------------------------+-------+-----------------------------------------------+
+ | dhcp-agent-options | 82 | if stored on the lease. (See |
+ | | | :ref:`dhcp4-store-extended-info`) |
+ +------------------------------+-------+-----------------------------------------------+
+ | associated-ip | 92 | a list of all other IP addresses for which |
+ | | | the client has active leases. (Does not apply |
+ | | | to query by IP address) |
+ +------------------------------+-------+-----------------------------------------------+
+
+The ``dhcp-server-identifier`` option (54) is returned in all responses in keeping with
+RFC 2131, section 4.3.1.
+
+RFC 4388 allows requesters to ask for specific options via the
+``dhcp-parameter-request-list`` (PRL, option 55). This is not currently supported in Kea.
+
+.. _lease-query-dhcpv4-config:
+
+DHCPv4 Leasequery Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Configuring the Leasequery hook library for use is straightforward. It
+supports a single parameter, ``requesters``, which is a list of IP addresses from
+which DHCPLEASEQUERY packets are accepted. In other words, it is a list of
+known requesters. The following code shows an example configuration with two requester
+addresses:
+
+::
+
+ :
+ "hooks-libraries": [
+ {
+ "library": "lib/kea/hooks/libdhcp_lease_query.so",
+ "parameters": {
+ "requesters": [ "192.0.1.1", "10.0.0.2" ]
+ }
+ }
+ ],
+ :
+
+.. note::
+
+ For security purposes, there is no way to specify wildcards. Each requester address
+ must be explicitly listed.
+
+.. _lease-query-dhcpv6:
+
+DHCPv6 Leasequery
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+DHCPv6 simple Leasequery gives a requester the ability to query for
+active lease information for either a single IP address or a single client
+DUID. The query type and parameters are conveyed in an ``lq-query`` option (44)
+attached to a ``DHCPV6_LEASEQUERY`` message:
+
+- ``query-type``
+
+ This is either ``query-by-address`` (1) or ``query-by-clientid`` (2)
+
+- ``link-address``
+
+ The global link address, when not empty, instructs the query to be
+ limited to leases within that "link." Kea uses this value to
+ select only leases that belong to subnets whose prefix matches
+ this value. Active leases for prefix delegations for
+ a matched subnet are included in the query reply, even if the
+ delegated prefix itself falls outside the subnet prefix.
+
+- ``query-options``
+
+ A single ``iaaddr`` option (12) must be supplied when querying by address.
+ When querying by client ID, a single ``clientid`` option (1) must be
+ supplied. RFC 5007 also calls for an optional, ``oro`` option (6), to
+ request specific options be returned for matched leases. This is
+ not currently implemented.
+
+.. note::
+
+ `RFC 5007, Section 3.3 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5007#section-3.3>`__
+ states that querying by IP address should return either a lease (e.g.
+ binding) for the address itself or a lease for a delegated prefix that
+ contains the address. The latter is not currently implemented. Leases for
+ delegated prefixes may only be returned when querying by client ID. See
+ `GitLab issue #1275 <https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/kea/-/issues/1275>`__
+
+``DHCPV6_LEASEQUERY`` queries are only honored if the source address of
+the query matches an entry in a list of known IP addresses which are
+permitted to query. This list of valid requester addresses is specified
+as part of the Leasequery hook library’s configuration (see the section
+on configuration below). Queries received from unknown requesters are
+logged and dropped.
+
+In response to a valid query, the server carries out the requisite
+activities and returns a ``DHCPV6_LEASEQUERY_REPLY``. All replies contain
+at least a ``status-code`` option (13) that indicates the outcome of the query
+as detailed in the following table:
+
+.. tabularcolumns:: |p{0.5\linewidth}|p{0.3\linewidth}|p{0.1\linewidth}|p{0.3\linewidth}|
+
+.. table:: DHCPV6_LEASEQUERY_REPLY status option values per query outcome
+ :class: longtable
+ :widths: 50 30 10 30
+
+ +--------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------+------------------------------+
+ | | Status | Status | Status |
+ | Query Outcome | Label | Code | Text |
+ +======================================+=========================+========+==============================+
+ | Invalid query type field | STATUS_UnknownQueryType | 7 | "unknown query-type" |
+ +--------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------+------------------------------+
+ | Query by IP address that does not | STATUS_Malformed | 10 | "missing D6O_IAADDR" |
+ | contain an address option | | | |
+ +--------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------+------------------------------+
+ | Query by IP address for an address | STATUS_NotConfigured | 9 | "address not in a configured |
+ | that does fall within any configured | | | pool" |
+ | pools | | | |
+ +--------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------+------------------------------+
+ | Query by IP address which found only | STATUS_Success | 0 | "inactive lease exists" |
+ | an inactive lease (e.g. expired, | | | |
+ | declined, reclaimed-expired) | | | |
+ +--------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------+------------------------------+
+ | Query by IP address that found no | STATUS_Success | 0 | "no active lease" |
+ | leases (active or otherwise) | | | |
+ +--------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------+------------------------------+
+ | Query by IP address that found an | STATUS_Success | 0 | "active lease found" |
+ | active lease for the address | | | |
+ +--------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------+------------------------------+
+ | Query by Client ID that does not | STATUS_Malformed | 10 | "missing D6O_CLIENTID" |
+ | contain a client ID option | | | |
+ +--------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------+------------------------------+
+ | Query by Client ID with a link | STATUS_NotConfigured | 9 | "not a configured link" |
+ | address that does not match any | | | |
+ | configured subnets | | | |
+ +--------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------+------------------------------+
+ | Query by client ID which found no | STATUS_Success | 0 | "no active leases" |
+ | matching leases | | | |
+ +--------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------+------------------------------+
+ | Query by client ID which found one | STATUS_Success | 0 | "active lease(s) found" |
+ | or more active leases | | | |
+ +--------------------------------------+-------------------------+--------+------------------------------+
+
+For those scenarios where the query was either invalid or for which no matching active
+leases were found, the ``DHCPV6_LEASEQUERY_REPLY`` only contains the ``status-code``
+option (12) per the above table.
+
+When a query finds active leases in more than one subnet and the query's ``link-address``
+is empty, then, in addition to the status-code, the ``DHCPV6_LEASEQUERY_REPLY``
+contains an ``lq-client-link`` option (48). The ``lq-client-link`` contains a list of
+IPv6 addresses, one for each subnet in which a lease was found (see
+`RFC 5007, Section 4.1.2.5 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5007#section-4.1.2.5>`__)
+If, however, the query's ``link-address`` is not empty, the list of queries is
+pruned to contain only leases that belong to that subnet.
+
+When the query results in one or more active leases which all belong to a single
+subnet, in addition to the ``status-code``, the ``DHCPV6_LEASEQUERY_REPLY`` contains a
+``client-data`` option (45) (see
+`RFC 5007, Section 4.1.2.2 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5007#section-4.1.2.2>`__).
+The client-data option encapsulates the following options:
+
+.. tabularcolumns:: |p{0.2\linewidth}|p{0.1\linewidth}|p{0.7\linewidth}|
+
+.. table:: OPTION_CLIENT_DATA returned when active lease(s) are found
+ :class: longtable
+ :widths: 30 10 70
+
+ +------------------------------+-------+-----------------------------------------------+
+ | Option | Code | Content |
+ +==============================+=======+===============================================+
+ | clientid | 1 | copied from the lease (if one exists) |
+ +------------------------------+-------+-----------------------------------------------+
+ | clt-time | 46 | amount of time that has elapsed since the |
+ | | | lease's client-last-transaction-time (CLTT). |
+ | | | This value will also be used by the server to |
+ | | | adjust lifetime and timer values. |
+ +------------------------------+-------+-----------------------------------------------+
+ | iaaddr | 5 | One option per matched address. Fields in |
+ | | | each option: |
+ | | | - lease address |
+ | | | - valid lifetime reduced by CLTT |
+ | | | - preferred lifetime reduced by CLTT |
+ +------------------------------+-------+-----------------------------------------------+
+ | iaprefix | 26 | One option per matched prefix. Fields in |
+ | | | each option: |
+ | | | - prefix |
+ | | | - prefix length |
+ | | | - valid lifetime reduced by CLTT |
+ | | | - preferred lifetime reduced by CLTT |
+ +------------------------------+-------+-----------------------------------------------+
+
+If the lease with the most recent client-last-transaction-time (CLTT)
+value has relay information in its user-context (see
+:ref:`store-extended-info-v6`), then an ``OPTION_LQ_RELAY_DATA`` option is
+added to the reply (see
+`RFC 5007, Section 4.1.2.4 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5007#section-4.1.2.4>`__).
+
+The relay information on the lease is a list with an entry for each
+relay layer the client packet (e.g. ``DHCPV6_REQUEST``) traversed, with the
+first entry in the list being the outermost layer (closest to the server). The
+``peer-address`` field of the ``lq-rely-option`` is set to the peer address of this
+relay. The list of relays is then used to construct a ``DHCPV6_RELAY_FORW`` message
+equivalent to that which contained the client packet, minus the client packet.
+This message is stored in the ``DHCP-relay-message`` field of the ``lq-relay-data`` option.
