  Segment Routing Generic TLV for MPLS Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping/
                               Traceroute
          draft-nainar-mpls-spring-lsp-ping-sr-generic-sid-06

Abstract

   RFC8402 introduces Segment Routing architecture that leverages source
   routing and tunneling paradigms and can be directly applied to the
   Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) data plane.  A node steers a
   packet through a controlled set of instructions called segments, by
   prepending the packet with Segment Routing header.  SR architecture
   defines different types of segments with different forwarding
   semantics associated.  SR can be applied to the MPLS directly and to
   IPv6 dataplane using a new routing header.

   RFC8287 defines the extensions to MPLS LSP Ping and Traceroute for
   Segment Routing IGP-Prefix and IGP-Adjacency Segment Identifier
   (SIDs) with an MPLS data plane.  Various SIDs are proposed as part of
   SR architecture with different associated instructions that raises a
   need to come up with new Target FEC Stack Sub-TLV for each such SIDs.

   This document defines a new Target FEC Stack Sub-TLV that is used to
   validate the instruction associated with any SID.

Internet-Draft   SR Generic TLV for MPLS LSP Ping/Trace    November 2021


1.  Introduction

   [RFC8402] introduces and describes a Segment Routing architecture
   that leverages the source routing and tunneling paradigms.  A node
   steers a packet through a controlled set of instructions called
   segments, by prepending the packet with Segment Routing header.  A
   detailed definition of the Segment Routing architecture is available
   in [RFC8402]

   As described in [RFC8402] and [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-mpls],
   the Segment Routing architecture can be directly applied to an MPLS
   data plane, the Segment identifier (Segment ID) will be of 20-bits
   size and the Segment Routing header is the label stack.

1.1.  Challenges with Existing Mechanism

   [RFC8287] defines the mechanism to perform LSP Ping and Traceroute
   for Segment Routing with MPLS data plane.  [RFC8287] defines the
   Target FEC Stack Sub-TLVs for IGP-Prefix Segment ID and IGP-Adjacency
   Segment ID.

   There are various other Segment IDs proposed by different documents
   that are applicable for SR architecture.
   [I-D.ietf-idr-bgp-prefix-sid] defines BGP Prefix Segment ID,
   [I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-segment-routing-epe] defines BGP Peering Segment
   ID such as Peer Node SID, Peer Adj SID and Peer Set SID.
   [I-D.sivabalan-pce-binding-label-sid] defines Path Binding Segment
   ID.  As SR evolves for different usecases, we may see more types of
   SIDs defined in the future.  This raises a need to propose new Target
   FEC Stack Sub-TLV for each such Segment ID that may need specific or
   network wide software upgrade to support such new Target FEC Stack
   Sub-TLVs.

   So instead of proposing different Target FEC Stack Sub-TLV for each
   SID, this document attempt to propose a SR Generic Label Sub-TLV for
   Target FEC Stack TLV with the procedure to validate the associated
   instruction.

   This document describes the new Target FEC Stack Sub-TLV that carries
   the SID and the procedure to use LSP Ping and Traceroute using the
   new sub-tlv to support path validation and fault isolation for any SR
   Segment IDs.  This document neither deprecates any existing Target
   FEC Stack Sub-TLVs nor precludes defining new Sub-TLVs in the future.

2.  Requirements notation

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC
   2119 [RFC2119] RFC 8174 [RFC8174] when and only when, they appear in
   all capitals, as shown here.

3.  Terminology

   This document uses the terminologies defined in [RFC8402], [RFC8029],
   readers are expected to be familiar with it.

4.  Target FEC Stack sub-TLV for Segment Routing SID

   Following the procedure defined in [RFC8029], below defined Target
   FEC Stack Sub-TLV will be included for each labels in the stack.  The
   below Sub-TLV is defined for Target FEC Stack TLV (Type 1), the
   Reverse-Path Target FEC Stack TLV (Type 16), and the Reply Path TLV
   (Type 21).

           sub-Type    Value Field
           --------  ---------------
            TBD1      Segment Routing Generic Label (SRGL)


4.1.  Segment Routing Generic Label

   The format of the Sub-TLV is as specified 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
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
     |                             SR SID                            |
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+


   SR SID

      Carries 20 bits of Segment ID that is used for validating the
      instruction.

4.2.  FEC for Path validation

   In SR architecture, any SID is associated with topology or service
   instruction.  While the topology instruction steers the packet over
   best path or specific path, the service instruction instructs the
   type of service to be applied on the packet.

                  R4-------R5

          Figure 1: Segment Routing network

 The Node Segment IDs for Rx for Algo 0 is 16000x. (Ex: For R1, it is 160001)
 The Node Segment IDs for Rx for Algo 128 is 16128x. (Ex: For R1, it is 161281)

 9178 --> Adjacency Segment ID from R7 to R8 over link L1.
 9278 --> Adjacency Segment ID from R7 to R8 over link L2.
 9378 --> Parallel Adjacency Segment ID from R7 to R8 over Link L1 or L2.
 9187 --> Adjacency Segment ID from R8 to R7 over link L1.
 9287 --> Adjacency Segment ID from R8 to R7 over link L2.
 9387 --> Parallel Adjacency Segment ID from R8 to R7 over Link L1 or L2.

   The instruction associated with any SID can be validated by verifying
   if the segment is terminated on the correct node and optionally
   received over the correct incoming interface.  In Figure 1, inorder
   to validate the SID 9178, R1 can use {(SID=9178)} as FEC in Target
   FEC Stack Sub-TLV.

5.  Procedures

   This section describes the procedure to validate SR Generic Label
   Sub-TLV.

5.1.  SID to Interface Mapping

   Any End point MAY maintain a SID to Interface mapping table that
   maintains the below:

   *  All the local Prefix/Node SID with any SR enabled interface as
      incoming interface.

   *  All the Adj-SIDs assigned by directly connected neighbor nodes
      with the relevant interface incoming interface.

   In Figure 1, R8 maintains 160008 and 161288 with Incoming interface
   as any SR enabled interface.  Similarly, R8 maintains 9178 with Link
   L1 as incoming interface, 9278 with Link L2 as incoming interface and
   9378 with Link L1 or L2 as incoming interface.

Internet-Draft   SR Generic TLV for MPLS LSP Ping/Trace    November 2021


   How this mapping is populated and maintained is a local
   implementation matter.  It can be populated based on the IGP database
   or can be based on a query to Path Computation Element (PCE)
   controller.  The mapping can be persistent or on-demand triggered by
   receiving LSP Ping Request.

5.2.  Initiator behavior

   This section defines the Target FEC Stack TLV construction mechanism
   by an initiator when using SR Generic Label Sub-TLV.

      Ping

      -  Initiator MUST include FEC(s) corresponding to the destination
         segment.

      -  Initiator MAY include FECs corresponding to some or all of
         segments imposed in the label stack by the initiator to
         communicate the segments traversed.

      Traceroute

      -  Initiator MUST initially include FECs corresponding to all of
         segments imposed in the label stack.

      -  When a received echo reply contains FEC Stack Change TLV with
         one or more of original segment(s) being popped, initiator MAY
         remove corresponding FEC(s) from Target FEC Stack TLV in the
         next (TTL+1) traceroute request as defined in section 4.6 of
         [RFC8029].

      -  When a received echo reply does not contain FEC Stack Change
         TLV, initiator MUST NOT attempt to remove FEC(s) from Target
         FEC Stack TLV in the next (TTL+1) traceroute request.

5.2.1.  SRGL in Target FEC Stack TLV

   When the last segment ID in the label stack is IGP Prefix SID, Adj-
   SID, Binding SID, BGP Prefix SID or BGP Peering SID, set the SR SID
   field to the Segment ID value advertised by the LSP End Point.  When
   the SID is advertised as index, the Segment ID value MUST be derived
   based on the index and the SRGB advertised by the LSP End Point.

   How the above values are derived is a local implementation matter.
   It can be manually defined using CLI knob while triggering the LSP
   Ping Request or can use other mechanisms like querying the local
   database.

5.3.  Responder behavior

   Step 4a defined in Section 7.4 of [RFC8287] is updated as below:

      If the Label-stack-depth is 0 and Target FEC Stack Sub-TLV at FEC-
      stack-depth is TBD1 (SRGL) {

      -  Set the Best-return-code to 10 when the responding node is not
         the LSP End Point for SR SID.

      -  Set the Best-return-code to 35, if Interface-I does not match
         the SID to Interface mapping for the received SR SID.

      -  set FEC-Status to 1, and return.

      }

      If the Label-stack-depth is greater than 0 and Target FEC Stack
      Sub-TLV at FEC-stack-depth is TBD1 (SRGL), {

      -  If the Label at Label-stack-depth is Imp-null {

         o  Set the Best-return-code to 10 when the responding node is
            not the LSP End Point for the SR SID.

         o  Set the Best-return-code to 35, if Interface-I does not
            match the SID to Interface mapping for the received SR SID.

         o  set FEC-Status to 1, and return.

         }

      -  Else:

         o  Set the Best-return-code to 10 when the index derived from
            the label at Label-stack-depth is not advertised by LSP End
            Point.

         o  set FEC-Status to 1, and return.

      }

5.4.  PHP flag behavior

   Section 7.2 of [RFC8287] explains the behavior for FEC stack change
   for Adjacency Segment ID.  The same procedure is applicable for BGP
   Peering SID as well.

6.  IANA Considerations

6.1.  New Target FEC Stack Sub-TLVs

   IANA is requested to assign three new Sub-TLVs from "Sub-TLVs for TLV
   Types 1, 16 and 21" sub-registry from the "Multi-Protocol Label
   Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters"
   [IANA-MPLS-LSP-PING] registry.

   --------    -----------------            ------------
     TBD1    Segment Routing Generic Label Section 4.1 of this document

6.2.  Security Considerations

   This document defines additional MPLS LSP Ping Sub-TLVs and follows
   the mechanisms defined in [RFC8029].  All the security considerations
   defined in [RFC8029] will be applicable for this document, and in
   addition, they do not impose any additional security challenges to be
   considered.
