Path Segment Identifier in MPLS Based Segment Routing Network

Abstract

A Segment Routing (SR) path is identified by an SR segment list. A sub-set of segments from the segment list cannot be leveraged to distinguish one SR path from another as they may be partially congruent. SR path identification is a pre-requisite for various use-cases such as Performance Measurement, and end-to-end 1+1 path protection.

In SR for MPLS data plane (SR-MPLS), an Egress node cannot determine on which SR path a packet traversed the network from the label stack because the segment identifiers are removed from the label stack as the packet transits the network.

This document defines Path Segment Identifier(PSID) to identify an SR path on the egress node of the path.

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

Segment Routing (SR) [RFC8402] leverages the source-routing paradigm to steer packets from a source node through a controlled set of instructions, called segments, by prepending the packet with an SR header. In the MPLS data plane SR-MPLS [RFC8660] the SR header is instantiated through a label stack.

In an SR-MPLS network, when a packet is transmitted along an SR path, the labels in the MPLS label stack will be swapped or popped. The result of this is that no label or only the last label may be left in the MPLS label stack when the packet reaches the egress node. Thus, the egress node cannot use the SR label stack to determine along which SR path the packet came.

However, identifying a path on the egress node is a pre-requisite for various use-cases in SR-MPLS networks, such as Performance Measurement (Section 3.1), bidirectional path (Section 3.2), and end-to-end 1+1 path protection (Live-Live case) (Section 3.3).

Therefore, this document defines a new segment type, referred to herein as a Path Segment. A Path Segment is defined to uniquely identify an SR path on the egress node of the path. It MAY be used by the egress node for path identification. Note that, per-path state will be maintained in the egress node due to the requirements in the aforementioned use cases, though in normal cases that the per-path state will be maintained in the ingress node only.

SR: Segment Routing.

SID: Segment Identifier.

SR-MPLS: Instantiation of SR on the MPLS data plane.

SR path: A SR path is a path described by a Segment-List.

Sub-Path: A sub-path is a part of a path, which contains a sub-set of the nodes and links of the path.

PSID: Path Segment Identifier.

2. Path Segment

A Path Segment is a Local Segment [RFC8402] which uniquely identifies an SR path on the egress node. A Path Segment Identifier(PSID) is a single label that is assigned from the Segment Routing Local Block (SRLB) [RFC8402] of the egress node of an SR path.

A PSID is used to identify a Segment List. However, one PSID can be used to identify multiple Segment Lists in some use cases if needed. For example, one single PSID MAY be used to identify some or all Segment lists in a Candidate path or an SR policy, if an operator would like to aggregate these Segment Lists in operation.

When a PSID is used, the PSID can be inserted at the ingress node and MUST immediately follow the last label of the SR path, in other words, inserted after the routing segment (adjacency/node/prefix segment) pointing to the egress node of the SR path. Therefore, a PSID will not be the top label in the label stack when received on an intermediate node of the associated path, but it can be the top label in the label stack on the penultimate node.

The value of the TTL field in the MPLS label stack entry containing a PSID can be set to any value except 0. If a PSID is the bottom label, the S bit MUST be set, and if the PSID is NOT the bottom label, the S bit MUST be 0.

The egress node MUST pop the PSID. The egress node MAY use the PSID for further processing. For example, when performance measurement is enabled on the SR path, it can trigger packet counting or timestamping.

The addition of the PSID will require the egress to read and process the PSID label in addition to the regular processing. This additional processing may have an impact on forwarding performance.

Generic Associated Channel Label (GAL) MAY be used for Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) in MPLS networks. As per [RFC5586], when GAL is used, the ACH appears immediately after the bottom of the label stack.

The SR path computation needs to know the Maximum SID Depth (MSD) that can be imposed at the ingress node of a given SR path [RFC8664]. This ensures that the SID stack depth of a computed path does not exceed the number of SIDs the node is capable of imposing. As per [RFC8491] the MSD signals the total number of MPLS labels that can be imposed, where the total number of MPLS labels includes the PSID.

An example label stack with PSID is shown in Figure 1:

Signaling of the PSID between the egress node, the ingress node and possibly a centralized controller is out of the scope of this document.

2.1. Equal-Cost Multipath(ECMP) Considerations

If Entropy Label(EL) is also used on the egress node, as per [RFC6790] the Entropy label Indicator (ELI) and Entropy Label (EL) would be placed before the tunnel label and hence does not interfere with the PSID which is placed below.

It is worthy to note that in case of ECMP, with or without the use of EL, the SR packets may be forwarded over multiple paths. In this case, the SID list cannot directly reflect the actual forwarding path and the PSID can only identify the SID list rather than the actual forwarding path.

Also, similar to Synonymous Flow Labels(SFL) [RFC8957], the introduction of an PSID to an existing flow may cause that flow to take a different path through the network under conditions of Equal-Cost Multipath. This, in turn, may invalidate certain uses of the PSID, such as performance measurement applications. Therefore, the considerations as per section 5 in [RFC8957] of SFL also apply to PSID in implementation.

3. Use cases

This section describes use cases which can leverage the PSID. The content is for informative purpose, and the detailed solutions might be defined in other documents in the future.

3.1. PSID for Performance Measurement

As defined in [RFC7799], performance measurement can be classified into Passive, Active, and Hybrid measurement. Since a PSID is encoded in the SR-MPLS Label Stack as shown in Figure 1, existing implementation on the egress node can leverage PSID for measuring packet counts.

For Passive performance measurement, path identification at the measuring points is the pre-requisite. PSID can be used by the measuring points (e.g., the ingress and egress nodes of the SR path or a centralized controller) to correlate the packet counts and timestamps from the ingress and egress nodes for a specific SR path, then packet loss and delay can be calculated for the end-to-end path, respectively.

Furthermore, PSID can also be used for:

  • Active Performance Measurement for an SR path in SR-MPLS networks for collecting packet counters and timestamps from the egress node using probe messages.

  • In-situ OAM[RFC9197] for SR-MPLS to identify the SR Path associated with the in-situ data fields in the data packets on the egress node.

  • In-band Performance Measurement for SR-MPLS to identify the SR Path associated with the collected performance metrics.

3.2. PSID for Bidirectional SR Path

In some scenarios, for example, mobile backhaul transport networks, there are requirements to support bidirectional paths[RFC6965], and the path is normally treated as a single entity. Forward and reverse directions of the path have the same fate, for example, failure in one direction will result in switching traffic at both directions. MPLS supports this by introducing the concepts of co-routed bidirectional LSP and associated bidirectional LSP [RFC5654].

In the current SR architecture, an SR path is a unidirectional path [RFC8402]. In order to support bidirectional SR paths, a straightforward way is to bind two unidirectional SR paths to a single bidirectional SR path. PSIDs can be used to identify and correlate the traffic for the two unidirectional SR paths at both ends of the bidirectional path.

The mechanism of constructing bidirectional path using PSID is out of the scope of this document and has been described in several documents, such as [I-D.ietf-pce-sr-bidir-path] and [I-D.ietf-idr-sr-policy-path-segment].

3.3. PSID for End-to-end Path Protection

For end-to-end 1+1 path protection (i.e., Live-Live case), the egress node of the path needs to know the set of paths that constitute the primary and the secondaries, in order to select the primary path packets for onward transmission, and to discard the packets from the secondaries [RFC4426].

To do this in Segment Routing, each SR path needs a path identifier that is unique at the egress node. For SR-MPLS, this can be the Path Segment label allocated by the egress node.

The detailed solution of using PSID in end-to-end 1+1 path protection is out of the scope of this document.

3.4. Nesting of PSIDs

Binding SID (BSID) [RFC8402] can be used for SID list compression. With BSID, an end-to-end SR path in a trusted domain can be split into several sub-paths, each sub-path is identified by a BSID. Then an end-to-end SR path can be identified by a list of BSIDs, therefore, it can provide better scalability.

BSID and PSID can be combined to achieve both sub-path and end-to-end path monitoring. A reference model for such a combination in (Figure 2) shows an end-to-end path (A->D) in a trusted domain that spans three subdomains (Access, Aggregation and Core domain) and consists of three sub-paths, one in each subdomain (sub-path (A->B), sub-path (B->C) and sub-path (C->D)).

The SID list of a sub-path can be expressed as <SID1, SID2, ...SIDn, s-PSID>, where the s-PSID is the PSID of the sub-path. Each sub-path is associated with a BSID and an s-PSID.

The SID list of the end-to-end path can be expressed as <BSID1, BSID2, ..., BSIDn, e-PSID>, where the e-PSID is the PSID of the end-to-end path.

Figure 2 shows the details of the label stacks when PSID and BSID are used to support both sub-path and end-to-end path monitoring in a multi-domain scenario.

4. Security Considerations

A PSID in SR-MPLS is a local label similar to other labels/Segment, such as a VPN label, defined in MPLS and SR-MPLS. The data plane processing of a PSID is a local implementation of an ingress node, or an egress node, which follows the same logic of existing MPLS dataplane. As per definition of PSID, only the egress node and the ingress node of the associated path will learn the information of PSID. The intermediate nodes of this path will not learn it.

A PSID may be used on an ingress node that is not the ingress of the associated path, if the associated label stack with PSID is part of a deeper label stack which represents a longer path. For example the case described in Section 3.4 and the related BSID is not used while the original label stack of sub-path is inserted as a part of the whole label stack. In this case, the PSID must be distributed in a trusted domain under the considerations defined in Section 8.1 of [RFC8402].

A PSID is used within an SR-MPLS trusted domain [RFC8402] and must not leak outside the domain, therefore no new security threats are introduced comparing to current SR-MPLS. As per [RFC8402], SR domain boundary routers MUST filter any external traffic destined to a label associated with a segment within the trusted domain, this applies to PSID as well. Other security considerations of SR-MPLS, described in Section 8.1 of [RFC8402] applies to this document.

The distribution of a PSID from an egress node to an ingress nodes is performed within an SR trusted domain, and it is out of the scope of this document. The details of the mechanism and related security considerations will be described in other documents.
