Expires April 18, 2018 [Page 2] Internet-Draft RSVP LSP Egress Protection October 2017 1. Introduction RFC 4090 describes two methods for locally protecting the transit nodes of a P2P LSP: one-to-one and facility protection. RFC 4875 specifies how these methods can be used to protect the transit nodes of a P2MP LSP. These documents do not discuss the procedures for locally protecting the egress node(s) of an LSP. This document fills that void and specifies extensions to RSVP-TE for local protection of the egress node(s) of an LSP. 1.1. Egress Local Protection Figure 1 shows an example of using backup LSPs to locally protect egresses of a primary P2MP LSP from ingress R1 to two egresses, L1 and L2. La and Lb are the designated backup egresses for primary egresses L1 and L2 respectively. The backup LSP for protecting L1 is from its upstream node R3 to backup egress La and the backup LSP for protecting L2 is from R5 to Lb. ******* ******* S Source [R2]-----[R3]-----[L1] CEx Customer Edge */ &\ \ Rx Non-Egress */ &\ \ Lx Egress */ &\ [CE1] *** Primary LSP */ &\ / &&& Backup LSP */ &\ / */ [La] */ */ */ */ ******** ******** ******* [S]---[R1]------[R4]------[R5]-----[L2] &\ \ &\ \ &\ [CE2] &\ / &\ / [Lb] Figure 1: Backup LSP for Locally Protecting Egress During normal operations, the traffic carried by the P2MP LSP is sent through R3 to L1, which delivers the traffic to its destination CE1. When R3 detects the failure of L1, R3 switches the traffic to the backup LSP to backup egress La, which delivers the traffic to CE1. The time for switching the traffic is within tens of milliseconds. Chen, et al. Expires April 18, 2018 [Page 3] Internet-Draft RSVP LSP Egress Protection October 2017 The exact mechanism by which the failure of the primary egress is detected by the upstream node is out of the scope of this document. 2. Conventions Used in This Document 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 RFC 2119. 3. Terminology This document uses terminologies defined in RFC 2205, RFC 3209, RFC 4090, RFC 4873 and RFC 4875. 4. Protocol Extensions 4.1. Extensions to SERO The Secondary Explicit Route object (SERO) is defined in RFC 4873. The format of the SERO is re-used. The SERO used for protecting a primary egress node of a primary LSP may be added into the Path messages for the LSP and sent from the ingress node of the LSP to the upstream node of the egress node. It contains three subobjects. The first subobject indicates the branch node that is to originate the backup LSP (to a backup egress node). The branch node is the direct upstream node of the primary egress node of the primary LSP if it can provide fast local protection for the primary egress node. The branch node can be a (upstream) node on the primary LSP, but not the direct upstream node if the direct upstream node does not provide any fast local protection against the failure of the primary egress node. In this case, the backup LSP from the branch node to the backup egress node protects against failures on the segment of the primary LSP from the branch node to the primary egress node, including the primary egress node. The final (third) subobject in the SERO contains the egress node of the backup LSP, i.e., the address of the backup egress node. The second subobject is an egress protection subobject, which is a PROTECTION object with a new C-TYPE (3). The format of the egress protection subobject is defined as follows: Chen, et al. Expires April 18, 2018 [Page 4] Internet-Draft RSVP LSP Egress Protection October 2017 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |L| Type | Length | Reserved | C-Type (3) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Reserved |E-Flags| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Optional subobjects | ~ ~ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ E-Flags are defined for egress local protection. x01 (Egress local protection bit): It is set (1) to indicate an egress local protection. x02 (S2L sub LSP backup desired bit): It is set (1) to indicate S2L Sub LSP (ref to RFC 4875) is desired for protecting an egress of a P2MP LSP. The Reserved parts MUST set to zero. Four optional subobjects are defined. They are IPv4 and IPv6 primary egress, IPv4 and IPv6 P2P LSP ID subobjects. They have the following format: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type | Length |Reserved (zero)| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Contents/Body of subobject | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ where Type is the type of a subobject, Length is the total size of the subobject in bytes, including Type, Length and Contents fields. The Reserved field MUST be set to zero. After the upstream node of the primary egress node as the branch node receives the SERO and determines a backup egress node for the primary egress, it computes a path from itself to the backup egress node and sets up a backup LSP along the path for protecting the primary egress node according to the information in the FAST_REROUTE object in the Path message. For example, if facility protection is desired, facility protection is provided for the primary egress node. The upstream node constructs a new SERO based on the SERO received and adds the new SERO into the Path message for the backup LSP. The Chen, et al. Expires April 18, 2018 [Page 5] Internet-Draft RSVP LSP Egress Protection October 2017 new SERO also contains three subobjects as the SERO for the primary LSP. The second subobject in the new SERO includes a primary egress, which indicates the address of the primary egress node. The third one contains the backup egress. The upstream node updates the SERO in the Path message for the primary LSP. The egress protection subobject in the SERO contains a subobject called a P2P LSP ID subobject, which contains the information for identifying the backup LSP. The final subobject in the SERO indicates the address of the backup egress node. 4.1.1. Primary Egress Subobject There are two primary egress subobjects. One is IPv4 primary egress subobject and the other is IPv6 primary egress subobject. The Type of an IPv4 primary egress subobject is 1, and the body of the subobject is given below: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | IPv4 address (4 bytes) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ o IPv4 address: IPv4 address of the primary egress node The Type of an IPv6 primary egress subobject is 2, and the body of the subobject is shown below: 0 1 2 3 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | IPv6 address (16 bytes) | ~ ~ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ o IPv6 address: The IPv6 address of the primary egress node 4.1.2. P2P LSP ID Subobject A P2P LSP ID subobject contains the information for identifying a backup point-to-point (P2P) LSP tunnel. 4.1.2.1. IPv4 P2P LSP ID Subobject The Type of an IPv4 P2P LSP ID subobject is 3, and the body of the subobject is shown below: Chen, et al.

Egress Protection Behaviors 5.1. Ingress Behavior To protect a primary egress of an LSP, the ingress MUST set the "label recording desired" flag and the "node protection desired" flag Chen, et al. Expires April 18, 2018 [Page 7] Internet-Draft RSVP LSP Egress Protection October 2017 in the SESSION_ATTRIBUTE object. If one-to-one backup or facility backup is desired to protect a primary egress of an LSP, the ingress MUST include a FAST_REROUTE object and set the "One-to-One Backup Desired" or "Facility Backup Desired" flag respectively. If S2L Sub LSP backup is desired to protect a primary egress of a P2MP LSP, the ingress MUST set the "S2L Sub LSP Backup Desired" flag in an SERO object. A backup egress MUST be configured on the ingress of an LSP to protect a primary egress of the LSP if and only if the backup egress is not indicated in another place. The ingress MUST send a Path message for the LSP with the objects above and the SEROs for protecting egresses of the LSP. For each primary egress of the LSP to be protected, the ingress MUST add an SERO object into the Path message if the backup egress or some options are given. If the backup egress is given, then the final subobject in the SERO containts it; otherwise the address in the final subobject is zero. 5.2. Primary Egress Behavior To protect a primary egress of an LSP, a backup egress MUST be configured on the primary egress of the LSP to protect the primary egress if and only if the backup egress is not indicated in another place. If the backup egress is configured on the primary egress of the LSP, the primary egress MUST send its upstream node a Resv message for the LSP with an SERO for protecting the primary egress. It sets the flags in the SERO in the same way as an ingress. If the LSP carries the service traffic with a service label, the primary egress sends its corresponding backup egress the information about the service label as a UA label and the related forwarding. 5.3. Backup Egress Behavior When a backup egress node receives a Path message for an LSP, it determines whether the LSP is used for egress local protection through checking the SERO with egress protection subobject in the message. If there is an egress protection subobject in the Path message for the LSP and the Egress local protection flag in the object is set to one, the LSP is the backup LSP for egress local protection. The primary egress to be protected is in the primary Chen, et al. Expires April 18, 2018 [Page 8] Internet-Draft RSVP LSP Egress Protection October 2017 egress subobject in the SERO. When the backup egress receives the information about a UA label and its related forwarding from the primary egress, it uses the backup LSP label as a context label and creates a forwarding entry using the information about the UA label and the related forwarding. This forwarding entry is in a forwarding table for the primary egress node. When the primary egress node fails, its upstream node switches the traffic from the primary LSP to the backup LSP to the backup egress node, which delivers the traffic to its receiver such as CE using the backup LSP label as a context label to get the forwarding table for the primary egress node and the service label as UA label to find the forwarding entry in the table to forward the traffic to the receiver. 5.4. Transit Node and PLR Behavior If a transit node of an LSP receives the Path message with the SEROs and it is not an upstream node of any primary egress of the LSP as a branch node, it MUST forward them unchanged. If the transit node is the upstream node of a primary egress to be protected as a branch node, it determines the backup egress, obtains a path for the backup LSP and sets up the backup LSP along the path. If the upstream node receives the Resv message with an SERO object, it MUST sends its upstream node the Resv message without the object. The PLR (upstream node of the primary egress as the branch node) MUST extract the backup egress from the respective SERO object in either a Path or a Resv message. If no matching SERO object is found, the PLR tries to find the backup egress, which is not the primary egress but has the same IP address as the destination IP address of the LSP. Note that if a backup egress is not configured explicitly for protecting a primary egress, the primary egress and the backup egress SHOULD have a same local address configured, and the cost to the local address on the backup egress SHOULD be much bigger than the cost to the local address on the primary egress. Thus primary egress and backup egress is considered as a virtual node. Note that the backup egress is different from this local address (e.g., from the primary egress' view). In other words, it is identified by an address different from this local address. After obtaining the backup egress, the PLR computes a backup path from itself to the backup egress and sets up a backup LSP along the path. It excludes the segment including the primary egress to be protected when computing the path. The PLR sends the primary egress Chen, et al. Expires April 18, 2018 [Page 9] Internet-Draft RSVP LSP Egress Protection October 2017 a Path message with an SERO for the primary LSP, which indicates the backup egress by the final subobject in the SERO. The PLR puts an SERO into the Path messages for the backup LSP, which indicates the primary egress. The PLR MUST provide one-to-one backup protection for the primary egress if the "One-to-One Backup Desired" flag is set in the message; otherwise, it MUST provide facility backup protection if the "Facility Backup Desired flag" is set. The PLR MUST set the protection flags in the RRO Sub-object for the primary egress in the Resv message according to the status of the primary egress and the backup LSP protecting the primary egress. For example, it sets the "local protection available" and the "node protection" flag indicating that the primary egress is protected when the backup LSP is up and ready for protecting the primary egress. 5.4.1. Signaling for One-to-One Protection The behavior of the upstream node of a primary egress of an LSP as a PLR is the same as that of a PLR for one-to-one backup described in RFC 4090 except for that the upstream node as a PLR creates a backup LSP from itself to a backup egress in a session different from the primary LSP. If the LSP is a P2MP LSP and a primary egress of the LSP is also a transit node (i.e., bud node), the upstream node of the primary egress as a PLR creates a backup LSP from itself to each of the next hops of the primary egress. When the PLR detects the failure of the primary egress, it switches the packets from the primary LSP to the backup LSP to the backup egress. For the failure of the bud node of a P2MP LSP, the PLR also switches the packets to the backup LSPs to the bud node's next hops, where the packets are merged into the primary LSP. 5.4.2. Signaling for Facility Protection Except for backup LSP and downstream label, the behavior of the upstream node of the primary egress of a primary LSP as a PLR follows the PLR behavior for facility backup described in RFC 4090. For a number of primary P2P LSPs going through the same PLR to the same primary egress, the primary egress of these LSPs MAY be protected by one backup LSP from the PLR to the backup egress designated for protecting the primary egress. The PLR selects or creates a backup LSP from itself to the backup Chen, et al. Expires April 18, 2018 [Page 10] Internet-Draft RSVP LSP Egress Protection October 2017 egress. If there is a backup LSP that satisfies the constraints given in the Path message, then this one is selected; otherwise, a new backup LSP to the backup egress is created. After getting the backup LSP, the PLR associates the backup LSP with a primary LSP for protecting its primary egress. The PLR records that the backup LSP is used to protect the primary LSP against its primary egress failure and MUST include an SERO object in the Path message for the primary LSP. The object MUST contain the backup LSP ID. It indicates that the primary egress MUST send the backup egress the service label as UA label and the information about forwarding the traffic to its destination using the label if there is a service carried by the LSP and the primary LSP label as UA label if the label is not implicit null. How UA label is sent is out of scope for this document. When the PLR detects the failure of the primary egress, it redirects the packets from the primary LSP into the backup LSP to backup egress and keeps the primary LSP label from the primary egress in the label stack if the label is not implicit null. The backup egress delivers the packets to the same destinations as the primary egress using the backup LSP label as context label and the labels under as UA labels. 5.4.3. Signaling for S2L Sub LSP Protection The S2L Sub LSP Protection uses a S2L Sub LSP (ref to RFC 4875) as a backup LSP to protect a primary egress of a P2MP LSP. The PLR MUST determine to protect a primary egress of a P2MP LSP via S2L sub LSP protection when it receives a Path message with flag "S2L Sub LSP Backup Desired" set. The PLR MUST set up the backup S2L sub LSP to the backup egress, create and maintain its state in the same way as of setting up a source to leaf (S2L) sub LSP defined in RFC 4875 from the signaling's point of view. It computes a path for the backup LSP from itself to the backup egress, constructs and sends a Path message along the path, receives and processes a Resv message responding to the Path message. After receiving the Resv message for the backup LSP, the PLR creates a forwarding entry with an inactive state or flag called inactive forwarding entry. This inactive forwarding entry is not used to forward any data traffic during normal operations. When the PLR detects the failure of the primary egress, it changes the forwarding entry for the backup LSP to active. Thus, the PLR forwards the traffic to the backup egress through the backup LSP, which sends the traffic to its destination. Chen, et al. Expires April 18, 2018 [Page 11] Internet-Draft RSVP LSP Egress Protection October 2017 5.4.4. PLR Procedures during Local Repair When the upstream node of a primary egress of an LSP as a PLR detects the failure of the primary egress, it follows the procedures defined in section 6.5 of RFC 4090. It SHOULD notify the ingress about the failure of the primary egress in the same way as a PLR notifies the ingress about the failure of a transit node. Moreover, the PLR MUST let the upstream part of the primary LSP stay after the primary egress fails through sending Resv message to its upstream node along the primary LSP. The downstream part of the primary LSP from the PLR to the primary egress SHOULD be removed. When a bypass LSP from the PLR to a backup egress protects the primary egress, the PLR MUST NOT send any Path message for the primary LSP through the bypass LSP to the backup egress. In the local revertive mode, the PLR will re-signal each of the primary LSPs that were routed over the restored resource once it detects that the resource is restored. Every primary LSP successfully re-signaled along the restored resource will be switched back. 6. Considering Application Traffic This section focuses on the application traffic carried by P2P LSPs. When a primary egress of a P2MP LSP fails, the application traffic carried by the P2MP LSP is delivered to the same destination by the backup egress since the inner label if any for the traffic is a upstream assigned label for every egress of the P2MP LSP. 6.1. A Typical Application L3VPN is a typical application. An existing solution (refer to Figure 2) for protecting L3VPN traffic against egress failure includes: 1) A multi-hop BFD session between ingress R1 and egress L1 of primary LSP; 2) A backup LSP from ingress R1 to backup egress La; 3) La sends R1 VPN backup label and related information via BGP; 4) R1 has a VRF with two sets of routes: one uses primary LSP and L1 as next hop; the other uses backup LSP and La as next hop. Chen, et al.

When R1 detects the failure of L1, R1 sends the traffic from CE1 via backup LSP with VPN backup label received from La as inner label to La, which delivers the traffic to CE2 using VPN backup label. A new solution (refer to Figure 3) with egress local protection for protecting L3VPN traffic includes: 1) A BFD session between R3 and egress L1 of primary LSP; 2) A backup LSP from R3 to backup egress La; 3) L1 sends La VPN label as UA label and related information; 4) L1 and La is virtualized as one. This can be achieved by configuring a same local address on L1 and La, using the address as a destination of the LSP and BGP next hop for VPN traffic. ***** ***** CE1,CE2 in [R2]-----[R3]-----[L1] **** Primary LSP one VPN */ &\:.....: \ &&&& Backup LSP */ &\ \ ....

PLR Procedure for Applications When the PLR gets a backup LSP from itself to a backup egress for protecting a primary egress of a primary LSP, it includes an SERO object in the Path message for the primary LSP. The object contains Chen, et al. Expires April 18, 2018 [Page 13] Internet-Draft RSVP LSP Egress Protection October 2017 the ID information of the backup LSP and indicates that the primary egress sends the backup egress the application traffic label (e.g., VPN label) as UA label when needed. 6.3. Egress Procedures for Applications When a primary egress of an LSP sends the ingress of the LSP a label for an application such as a VPN, it sends the backup egress for protecting the primary egress the label as a UA label. Exactly how the label is sent is out of scope for this document. When the backup egress receives a UA label from the primary egress, it adds a forwarding entry with the label into the LFIB for the primary egress. When the backup egress receives a packet from the backup LSP, it uses the top label as a context label to find the LFIB for the primary egress and the inner label to deliver the packet to the same destination as the primary egress according to the LFIB. 7. Security Considerations In principle this document does not introduce new security issues. The security considerations pertaining to RFC 4090, RFC 4875 and other RSVP protocols remain relevant. Note that protecting a primary egress of a P2P LSP carrying service traffic through a backup egress requires that the backup egress trust the primary egress for the information received for a service label as UA label. 8. IANA Considerations IANA maintains a registry called "Class Names, Class Numbers, and Class Types" under "Resource Reservation Protocol-Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) Parameters". IANA is to assign a new C-Type under PROTECTION object class, Class Number 37: o Egress Protection: C-Type 3 IANA is to create and maintain a new registry under PROTECTION object class, Class Number 37, C-Type 3. Initial values for the registry are given below. The future assignments are to be made through IETF Review. Chen, et al.
