PCE Working Group R. Gandhi Internet-Draft Cisco Systems, Inc. Intended Status: Standards Track B. Wen Expires: March 2, 2018 Comcast C. Barth Juniper Networks D. Dhody Huawei Technologies August 29, 2017 PCEP Extensions for MPLS-TE LSP Performance Measurements with Stateful PCE draft-gandhi-pce-pm-08 Abstract The Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) provides mechanisms for Path Computation Elements (PCEs) to perform path computations in response to Path Computation Clients (PCCs) requests. The Stateful PCE extensions allow Stateful control of Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic Engineering Label Switched Paths (TE LSPs) using PCEP. In certain networks, network performance data such as packet loss, delay and delay variation (jitter) as well as bandwidth utilization is a critical measure for Traffic Engineering (TE). This data provides operators the characteristics of their networks for performance evaluation that is required to ensure the Service Level Agreements (SLAs). Performance Measurement (PM) mechanisms can be employed to monitor these metrics end-to-end for TE Label Switched Paths (LSPs). This document describes Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) extensions for enabling and reporting such performance measurements to an Active Stateful PCE for both PCE- Initiated and PCC-Initiated LSPs.

Expires March 2, 2018 [Page 4] Internet-Draft PCEP for Performance Measurement August 29, 2017 1. Introduction [RFC5440] describes the Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) as a communication mechanism between a Path Computation Client (PCC) and a Path Control Element (PCE), or between PCE and PCE, that enables computation of Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic Engineering Label Switched Paths (TE LSPs). [DRAFT-PCE-STATEFUL] specifies extensions to PCEP to enable Stateful control of TE LSPs. It describes two mode of operations - Passive Stateful PCE and Active Stateful PCE. Further [DRAFT-PCE-INITIATED- LSP] describes the setup, maintenance and teardown of PCE-Initiated LSPs for the Stateful PCE model. In this document, the focus is on Active Stateful PCE where the LSPs are controlled by the PCE, for both PCE-Initiated and PCC-Initiated LSPs. In certain networks, such as financial information networks, network performance data (e.g. packet loss, delay and delay variation (jitter), bandwidth utilization) is a critical measure for traffic engineering. The protocol extensions have been defined to advertise link performance metrics, see [RFC7471], [RFC7810], [RFC7823] and [DRAFT-IDR-TE-PM-BGP]. This data provides operators the characteristics of their networks for performance evaluation that is required to ensure the Service Level Agreements (SLAs). [DRAFT-PCE-SERVICE-AWARE] defines the PCEP extensions for TE LSP path computation using packet loss, delay and delay variation as path selection metrics. Such path computations use link metrics for packet loss and delay and do not provide end-to-end metrics of the TE LSPs. The end-to-end metrics of a TE LSP may be very different than the path computation results due to many factors, such as queuing, etc. There is a need to verify and monitor that the traffic sent over the established TE LSPs does not exceed the requested metric bounds (e.g. total end-to-end delay/loss). The Stateful PCE may need to take some action (such as tear-down or re-optimize the LSP) when the performance requirement is not met. [RFC6374], [RFC6375] and [RFC7876] define protocol extensions needed for measuring end-to-end packet loss, delay and delay variation (jitter) for bidirectional and unidirectional TE LSPs. This document provides mechanisms to enable and report the performance measurements (PM) such as packet loss, delay, delay variation (jitter) and bandwidth utilization for a TE LSP to an Active Stateful PCE, for both PCE-Initiated and PCC-Initiated LSPs. Gandhi, et al. Expires March 2, 2018 [Page 5] Internet-Draft PCEP for Performance Measurement August 29, 2017 1.1. Use-cases This section describes a non-exhaustive list of deployment use-cases of PM for TE LSPs when deployed in a network with PCE. A controller may also be deployed in the network capable of "streaming telemetry" for receiving PM metrics and may interact with PCC and PCE for the PM as described in use-cases 3, 4 and 5. Use-case 1: PCE Enables PM on PCC and PCC Takes Action PCE -----> PCC In this use-case, the PCE sets the upper-bound threshold condition for TE LSPs at the PCC. The PCC takes a local action when the condition is met. The action could be based on a local policy or policy set by the PCE. The steps involved are - o PCE sends the PM attributes as part of PCE-initiated LSPs including upper-bound threshold (Section 4.6 in this document) for the PM metrics using the PCEP extensions defined in this document. o PCC takes actions when PM metrics exceed the upper-bound threshold, actions could be to bring down the LSP, trigger protection switchover, remove tunnel from IGP for some prefixes, or request a new path from PCE (based on local policies which may be set by the PCE). PCC may take these actions even when LSPs are delegated to PCE as the upper-bound is set by the PCE. o PCC does not report the PM metrics to PCE. o PCC may install the new LSP in routing table only if the PM metric is below the upper-bound, otherwise, the PCC may reject the LSP request and send an error to the PCE. o The report interval should be set to 0 to disable reporting to PCE. Only the upper-bound threshold should be set. Use-case 2: PCC Reports PM Metrics to PCE, PCE Takes Action PCE <----- PCC In this use-case, the PCC reports the PM metrics and parameters to the PCE and the PCE may take an immediate local (reactive) action based on the PM metrics. The steps involved are - o PCC sends the PM metrics and parameters to PCE using the PCEP extensions defined in this document and PCE takes an action; action could be to correlate faults, invalidate LSP path, send new Gandhi, et al. Expires March 2, 2018 [Page 6] Internet-Draft PCEP for Performance Measurement August 29, 2017 LSP path to PCC (trigger re-optimization), etc. o If upper-bound threshold is set, PCC only reports the PM metrics to PCE when upper-bound is crossed. Otherwise the PCC reports the PM metrics to PCE every report-interval. o Optionally, PCC may take an immediate local (reactive) action such as trigger path protection switch-over when PM metrics exceed upper-bound. o PCE has a global view due to PM metric reports received from various PCCs and hence can make a better decision about LSP placement in the network. o PCE can make pro-active decisions based on PM metrics when metrics are reported before crossing of the upper-bound as opposed to reactive action that PCC could make. o The report interval should be set to enable reporting by the PCC. Optionally, the upper-bound threshold may also be set. Use-case 3: PCE Enables PM on PCC, PCC Sends PM Metrics to Controller PCE -----> PCC -----> Controller The steps involved are - o A controller may be used in a network that is capable of "streaming telemetry" for receiving data and Yang or XML based provisioning using non-PCEP channel. The controller may interact with a PCE for LSP path computation using the PCEP channel. o PCE sends the PM attributes as part of PCE-initiated LSPs using the PCEP extensions defined in this document. o PCC reports the PM metrics to controller via "streaming telemetry". o Controller may request PCE to take an action based on the PM metrics. o The report interval should be set to 0 to disable reporting to PCE. The other PM attributes may be set and used for "streaming telemetry". Use-case 4: Controller Enables PM on PCC, PCC Sends PM Metrics to PCE PCE <----- PCC <----- Controller Gandhi, et al. Expires March 2, 2018 [Page 7] Internet-Draft PCEP for Performance Measurement August 29, 2017 The steps involved are - o Controller enables PM on PCC using a non-PCEP channel. o PCC then reports the PM metrics to PCE using the PCEP extensions defined in this document. o PCE may take an action based on the PM metrics received from PCC. Use-case 5: Controller Enables PM on PCC, PCC Sends PM Metrics to Controller PCE ----> PCC <-----> Controller -----> PCE The steps involved are - o Controller enables PM on PCC using a non-PCEP channel. o PCC reports the PM metrics to the controller via "streaming telemetry". o Controller may request PCE to take an action based on the PM metrics. o The PCEP extensions defined in this document are not used in this use-case. 1.2. Dependencies and Considerations [RFC6374] describes several reasons why PMs are valuable to operators. Note that the specification of the use of the reported packet loss, delay, delay variation and bandwidth utilization measurements by a Stateful PCE is outside the scope of this document. Furthermore, [RFC6374] describes many types of MPLS channels that may leverage PMs and some may have bidirectional dependencies. Defining a mechanism for the verification and/or provisioning of bidirectional or associated bidirectional LSPs within the Stateful PCE architecture is outside the scope of this document. In all cases, delay and loss PM messages are carried over the MPLS Generic Associated Channel (G-ACh) as described in [RFC5586]. MPLS LSPs that carry the G-ACh can be referred to as MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) LSPs [RFC5921]. MPLS-TP LSPs require Ultimate Hop Popping (UHP) where LSPs are assigned Non-NULL labels by tail-end nodes. It is beyond the scope of this document to define the Gandhi, et al. Expires March 2, 2018 [Page 8] Internet-Draft PCEP for Performance Measurement August 29, 2017 mechanism by which a Stateful PCE verifies and/or provisions an LSP for UHP. Note that for both unidirectional and bidirectional LSPs, packet loss measurement requires UHP. 1.3. Auto-bandwidth Considerations Auto-Bandwidth feature allows a head-end LSR (PCC) to automatically adjust the LSP bandwidth reservation based on the traffic demand of a TE LSP. Auto-bandwidth requested bandwidth computation can be implemented on a PCC or a Stateful PCE. [DRAFT-IETF-PCE-AUTOBW] describes the PCEP extensions for auto- bandwidth, where the requested bandwidth for the LSP is computed by the PCC and reported to the Stateful PCE. There is a benefit in pushing the responsibility for deciding when auto-bandwidth adjustments are needed to the PCC as this distributes the load of monitoring the bandwidth utilization of the LSPs down to the PCCs and frees up the PCE for path computations. In addition, it reduces the load on PCEP communications for reporting the bandwidth utilization of the LSP. However, exactly when to adjust an LSP bandwidth could be better left to a Stateful PCE. That is, a PCE could be flexible in its interpretation of thresholds enabling it to trigger auto-bandwidth adjustment early if it believes there is a good reason (for example, doing a set of parallel path re-computations) or late (for example, when it knows that an adjustment would be disruptive to the network). When the auto-bandwidth computation is delegated to the PCC, the PCC cannot see the impact on other LSPs in the network, and the PCE cannot tell whether the request to adjust the LSP bandwidth is critical or not. The bandwidth utilization reporting defined in this document can be used by the PCE to do computations to determine whether auto-bandwidth adjustments are needed and/or desirable before performing the path computations. 2. Conventions Used in This Document 2.1. Requirements Language The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. 2.2. Terminology The reader is assumed to be familiar with the terminology defined in [RFC5440], [RFC6374] and [RFC7471]. Gandhi, et al. Expires March 2, 2018 [Page 9] Internet-Draft PCEP for Performance Measurement August 29, 2017 2.3. Measurement Units The measurement unit for delay value is defined in [RFC7471], Section 4.1.5. The measurement unit for loss value is defined in [RFC7471], Section 4.4.5. The utilized bandwidth [RFC7471] is encoded in IEEE floating point format in bytes per second (see [IEEE.754.1985]). All average values are calculated as rolling averages. 3. Overview of the PCEP Extensions The high-level overview of the PCEP extensions defined in this document for requesting and reporting end-to-end performance measurements and bandwidth utilization for TE LSPs are shown in Figure 1. --------- | | | PCE | | | --------- | ^ MEASUREMENT CAPABILITY | | MEASUREMENT CAPABILITY | | MEASUREMENT ATTRIBUTES | | MEASUREMENT ATTRIBUTES | | (For delegated LSPs) | | | | MEASUREMENT REPORTS v | --------- | | | PCC | | | --------- Figure 1: Overview of PCEP Extensions The following steps describe the PCEP extensions for reporting performance measurements and bandwidth utilization of TE LSPs: o The Stateful PCE and PCC (head-end of the LSP) advertise the capability of their support for the delay, loss and bandwidth- utilization measurements and reporting in the PCEP Open message Gandhi, et al. Expires March 2, 2018 [Page 10] Internet-Draft PCEP for Performance Measurement August 29, 2017 (in the OPEN Object). o The Stateful PCE enables the measurement of a feature and sends and updates the configuration parameters of the feature using the LSPA object to PCC in PCInitiate and PCUpd messages respectively. o The PCC reports the measured values of the feature to the Stateful PCE at the end of the specified report-interval or when measured values cross the specified report-threshold. The periodic reporting can be used at the PCE to monitor the TE LSP metrics whereas report-threshold can be used to trigger an immediate action at the PCE on the TE LSP. o In some cases, the periodic reporting of the measurements may be disabled and only an upper-bound threshold is set, which when exceeded, a local or PCE-set action may be taken. o The PCE and PCC notify each other of their entering and clearing the overwhelmed state when operating under high LSP scale. 3.1. Report Thresholds When explicitly configured, report threshold (absolute or percentage) parameter (along with the configured number of counts) is used to trigger an immediate reporting of the delay and loss measurements and bandwidth utilization, bypassing the report interval. Threshold is used to detect a sudden change in the performance measurement metric of a TE LSP. In order to detect that a measured value has crossed the threshold, the measured (delay/loss) metric is compared with the last reported value. If the change (increase or decrease) in the value is above the threshold (absolute or percentage) consecutively for the given number of counts, the measurement from the current interval is reported immediately. In case of bandwidth utilization, the last reported MaxSampleBw (see [DRAFT-IETF-PCE-AUTOBW]) value is compared with the MaxSampleBW from the the current interval to detect the threshold crossing. The delay and loss measurements are still reported at the end of the report interval even if they were reported due to the crossing of the threshold. Refer to [RFC7471], Section 5, for additional considerations. All thresholds in this document could be represented in both absolute value and percentage, and could be used together. This is provided to accommodate the cases where the metric values may become very large or very small over time. For example, an operator may use the percentage threshold to handle small to large metric values and absolute values to handle very large metric values. The metrics are reported when either one of the two thresholds, the absolute or Gandhi, et al. Expires March 2, 2018 [Page 11] Internet-Draft PCEP for Performance Measurement August 29, 2017 percentage, is crossed. When using the percentage threshold, if the metric changes rapidly at very low values, it may trigger frequent reporting due to the crossing of the percentage threshold. This can lead to unnecessary scale issues in the network. This is suppressed by setting the minimum-threshold parameter along with the percentage threshold. The metric value is only reported if the value crosses both the percentage threshold and the minimum-threshold parameters. 4. Sub-TLVs for Measurements Attributes This section specifies the generic sub-TLVs those provide various configurable parameters for reporting measurements to a Stateful PCE.

The format of the "actual_attribute-list" in the PCRpt message is modified as following: ::=[] [] [] [] 9. Scaling Considerations It should be noted that when measurement reporting is deployed under LSP scale, it can lead to frequent reporting updates to the PCE. Operators are advised to set the values of various measurement reporting parameters appropriate for the deployed LSP scale. Gandhi, et al. Expires March 2, 2018 [Page 30] Internet-Draft PCEP for Performance Measurement August 29, 2017 If a PCE gets overwhelmed, it can notify the PCC to temporarily suspend the reporting of the measurements as described below. 9.1. The PCNtf Message As per [RFC5440], the PCEP Notification message (PCNtf) can be sent by a PCEP speaker to notify its peer of a specific event. A PCEP speaker SHOULD notify its PCEP peer that it is overwhelmed, and on receipt of such notification the peer SHOULD NOT send any PCEP messages related to measurement reporting. If a PCEP message related to measurement reporting is received, it MUST be silently ignored. o When a PCEP speaker is overwhelmed, it SHOULD notify its peer by sending a PCNtf message with Notification Type = TBD15 (PM Overwhelm State) and Notification Value = 1 (Entering PM overwhelm state). o Optionally, OVERLOADED-DURATION TLV [RFC5440] MAY be included that specifies the time period during which no further PCEP messages related to PM should be sent. o When the PCEP speaker is no longer in the overwhelm state and is available to process the PM reporting, it SHOULD notify its peer by sending a PCNtf message with Notification Type = TBD15 (PM Overwhelm State) and Notification Value = 2 (Clearing PM overwhelm state). 10. Security Considerations This document defines new MEASUREMENT-ATTRIBUTES TLVs, CAPABILITY TLVs and MEASUREMENT Objects for reporting loss, delay measurements and bandwidth utilization which do not add additional security concerns beyond those discussed in [RFC5440] and [DRAFT-PCE-STATEFUL]. Some deployments may find the reporting of the performance measurement and bandwidth utilization information as extra sensitive as it could be used to influence LSP path computation and LSP setup with adverse effect. Additionally, snooping of PCEP messages with such data or using PCEP messages for network reconnaissance, may give an attacker sensitive information about the operations of the network. Thus, such deployment should employ suitable PCEP security mechanisms like TCP Authentication Option (TCP-AO) [RFC5925] or [DRAFT-PCE-PCEPS]. 11. Manageability Considerations Gandhi, et al. Expires March 2, 2018 [Page 31] Internet-Draft PCEP for Performance Measurement August 29, 2017 11.1. Control of Function and Policy The performance measurement reporting SHOULD be controlled per TE tunnel (at PCC or PCE) and the values for feature attributes e.g. measurement-interval, report-interval, report-threshold SHOULD be configurable by an operator. 11.2. Information and Data Models A Management Information Base (MIB) module for modeling PCEP is described in [RFC7420]. However, one may prefer the mechanism for configuration using YANG data model [DRAFT-PCE-PCEP-YANG]. These SHOULD be enhanced to provide controls and indicators for support of performance measurement reporting feature. Support for various configuration knobs as well as counters of messages sent/received containing the TLVs (defined in this document) SHOULD be added. 11.3. Liveness Detection and Monitoring Mechanisms defined in this document do not imply any new liveness detection and monitoring requirements in addition to those already listed in [RFC5440]. 11.4. Verify Correct Operations Mechanisms defined in this document do not imply any new operation verification requirements in addition to those already listed in [RFC5440]. 11.5. Requirements On Other Protocols Mechanisms defined in this document do not add any new requirements on other protocols. 11.6. Impact On Network Operations In order to avoid any unacceptable impact on network operations, an implementation SHOULD allow a limit to be placed on the number of LSPs that can be enabled with performance measurement reporting feature. An implementation MAY allow a limit to be placed on the rate of measurement reporting messages sent by a PCEP speaker and received by a peer. An implementation MAY also allow sending a notification when a PCEP speaker is overwhelmed or the rate of messages reach a threshold. 12. IANA Considerations Gandhi, et al.
