A routing system uses the Filter-based RIBto program FIB entries that process incoming packets by matching on multiple fields within the packet and then performing a specified action on it.

Introduction The Interface to the Routing System (I2RS) [I-D.ietf-i2rs-architecture] architecture provides dynamic read and write access to the information and state within the routing elements. The I2RS client interacts with the I2RS agent in one or more network routing systems. This document provides a yang module for the I2RS filter Based Routing Information Base (FB-RIB) and describes the I2RS interaction with routing filters within a routing element. Filter-based routing is a technique used to make packet forwarding decisions based on a filter that is matched to the incoming packets and the specified action. It should be noted that that this is Kini, et al. Expires January 7, 2016 [Page 2] Internet-Draft Filter-Base RIB IM July 2015 distinct from the static routes in the RIB [I-D.ietf-i2rs-rib-info-model] where the routing is destination address based. A Filter-based RIB entry specifies matches on fields in a packet (which may include layer 2 fields, IP header fields, transport or application fields) or size of the packet or interface received on. The matches are contained in an ordered list of filters which contain pairs of match condition-action (aka event-condition- action). (Note: Filter-based RIBs (FB-RIBs) operate only on the interface the FB-RIB are configured on.) If all matches fail, default action is to forward the packet using FIB entries that were programmed by the Routing Informational Base (RIB) manager described in [I-D.ietf-i2rs-rib-info-model]. Actions in the condition-action pair may impact forwarding or set something in the packet that will impact forwarding. Policy actions are typically applied before applying QoS constraints since policy actions may override QoS constraint. The Filter-Based RIB resides in ephemeral state as does the I2RS RIB and I2RS topology models. A Filter-Based RIB (Routing Information Base) is contained in a routing instance (defined in [I-D.ietf-i2rs-rib-info-model]). It contains a list of filters (match-action conditions), a list of interface the filter-based forwarding operates on. The filter based-RIB will event-condition-action policy (ECA) rules based a set of policies specified by the I2RS FB-RIB. The filter- based RIB may utilize policies defined by common IETF policy modules or customer specific policies. The following policies are used in this version of the yang module: o Access lists (ACLs) [I-D.ietf-netmod-acl-model] (Note: The ACL Filters do not provide enough depth to support all use cases for filter-based FIBS. These filters are included for cases where this limited filters will work. In early deployments of the FB- FIB, these filters may be the only filters provided. ), o Basic network filters [I-D.hares-i2rs-bnp-info-model] The Filter-Based routing may provide many benefits, including better resource allocation, load balancing and QoS. The I2RS use cases which benefit from Filter-Based Routing are: Kini, et al.

Definitions and Acronyms CLI Command Line Interface FB-RIB Filter-Based Routing Information Base FB-Route The policy rules in the filter-based RIB are prescriptive of the Event-Condition-Action form which is often represented by if Condition then action". Policy Group Policy Groups are groups of policy rules. The groups of policy in the basic network policy [I-D.hares-i2rs-bnp-info-model] allow grouping of policy by name. This name allow easier management of customer-based or provider based filters. RIB IM Kini, et al. Expires January 7, 2016 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Filter-Base RIB IM July 2015 RIB Informational Model (RIB IM) [I-D.ietf-i2rs-rib-info-model] Routing instance A routing instance, in the context of the FB-FIB is a collection of RIBs, interfaces, and routing parameters. A routing instance creates a logical slice of the router and allows different logical slices; across a set of routers; to communicate with each other. 3. Filter-Based-RIB module A Filter-Based RIB (FB-RIB)contains an ordered set of filter routes where each filter-route is a match condition followed by an action. An FB-RIB is contained in a routing-instance that is defined in [I-D.ietf-i2rs-rib-info-model] and whose data modelling is done in [I-D.ietf-i2rs-rib-data-model]. An FB-RIB has a list of interfaces that is a subset of the list of interfaces in the routing-instance that it is contained in. An incoming packet on an interface belonging to a FB-RIB is first handled by the FIB programmed using that FB-RIB. If no match action succeeds, then the packet is forwarded using the FIB programmed using the RIB of that routing instance. An ordered set of filters implies that the insertion of a filter route into a FB-RIB MUST provide the ability to insert a filter route at any specific position and delete of a filter-based route at a specific position. The ability to change a filter route at a specific position combines these two functions (delete an existing filter route rule and add a new policy rule). Each FB-RIB is contained within a routing instance, but one routing instance (named by an INSTANCE_NAME) can contain multiple FB-RIBs. Each routing instance is associated with a set of interfaces, a router-id, and list of FB-RIBs. Each interface can be associated with at most one FB RIB. The processing within the FB-RIB process within the routing system is expected to do the following: o When a packet successfully matches match term/entry in a filter- route, the corresponding rule-actions are applied. o If a packet does not match the match term/entry in the filter route, the filter route processing goes to the next term/entry in the order, and looks for a match, within the current filter or goes to the next filter in the list. This continues until either a filter route match term/entry is successfully matched, or no more filters in the list exists. Kini, et al. Expires January 7, 2016 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Filter-Base RIB IM July 2015 o If no match has been found within list of filters in FB-RIB list, then the packet will be forwarded using the I2RS RIB specified by the FB-RIB if one exists. If no I2RS RIB is specified, the packet will be discarded. +-------------------------------+ | routing instance | +-----------|-------------------+ | | +--------|----+ |FB-RIB *list | | | +--|----------+ | ^ /|\ +-----^-----------------------+ | FB-RIB | +----|------|-------------|---+ | +---|----+ +-----|-----+ | | I2 RIB | |interface* | | | Name | | (Names) | | +--------+ +-----------+ | +-----------------------+ | FB-RIB Ordered List | | of filter rules | +-----------|-----------+ | Filter policy list-entries | entries depend on type | (ACL, Routing, QOS, SFC) +-----------|-----------+ | Groups | +-----------|-----------+ | Groups depend on type +-----------|--------------+ | Rules (by type) | |(ordered list of rules of | | the form match-action) | +--------------------------+ | Entries depend on type Figure 2: Routing instance with FB-RIB Kini, et al.

Relationship between RB-RIB Rule Model and RIB Information Model The I2RS RIB module is described in [I-D.ietf-i2rs-rib-info-model] and [I-D.ietf-i2rs-rib-data-model]. The I2RS RIB contains a collection of RIBs with the following information per instance: o The set of interfaces indicates which interfaces are associated with this routing instance. o The RIBs specify how incoming traffic is to be forwarded based on destination (E.g. RIB and FB-RIB). o The routing parameters control the information in the RIBs. A routing instance may have both an I2RS RIB modules and I2RS FB-FIB modules associated with it. FB-RIB and RIB can not be used at the same time, which means: o If a router doesn't support filter-based routing, a router MUST use RIB and MUST not use FB-RIB. o If a router supports filter-based routing: * FB-RIB is used * Multiple FB-RIBs may exist within a routing instance * An interface can be associated with at most one FB-RIB * The Default RIB for a FB-RIB is used if several criteria beyond destination address is not matched. 4. yang models 4.1.
