BGP Control Plane Extensions for Segment Routing based Service Chaining
               draft-dawra-idr-bgp-sr-service-chaining-02

Abstract

   The BGP Control Plane for the SR service-chaining solution is
   consistent with the BGP Control Plane for the topological Segment
   Routing Traffic Engineering (SR-TE) solution.

   o  BGP Link-State(BGP-LS) address-family/sub-address-family[RFC7752]
      is used to discover service and topological characteristics from
      the network.

   o  SR-TE policies[I-D.ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy] instantiate
      source-routed policies that may mix service and topological
      segments.

1.  Introduction

   Segments are introduced in the SR architecture
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing].  Segment Routing based Service
   chaining is well described in Section 6 of
   [I-D.clad-spring-segment-routing-service-chaining] document with an
   example network and services.

   This document extend the example to add a Segment Routing Controller
   (SR-C) to the network, for the purpose of service discovery and SR
   policy instantiation.

   Consider the network represented in Figure 1 below where:

   o  A and B are two end hosts using IPv4.

   o  S1 is an SR-aware firewall Service.

   o  S2 is an SR-unaware DPI Service.

                               SR-C      --3--
                                 |      /     \
                                 |     /       \
                            A----1----2----4----5----6----B
                                      |         |
                                      |         |
                                      S1        S2

                      Figure 1: Network with Services

   SR Controller (SR-C) is connected to Node 1, but may be attached to
   any node 1-6 in the network.

   SR-C is capable of receiving BGP-LS updates to discover topology, and
   calculating constrained paths between 1 and 6.

   However, if SR-C is configured to computation a constrained path from
   1 and 6, including a DPI service (i.e., S2) it is not yet possible
   due to the lack of service distribution.  SR-C does not know where a
   DPI Service is nor the SID for it.  It does not know that S2 is a
   service it needs.

   This document proposes an extension to BGP-LS for Service Chaining to
   distribute the service information to SR-C.  There may be other
   alternate mechanisms to distribute service information to SR-C and
   are outside of scope of this document.  There are no extensions
   required in SR-TE Policy SAFI.

2.  BGP-LS Extensions for Service Chaining

   For an attached service, following data needs to be shared with SR-C:

   o  Service SID value (e.g.  MPLS label or IPv6 address).  Service SID
      MAY only be encoded as LOC:FUNCT, where LOC is the L most
      significant bits and FUNCT is the 128-L least significant

      bits[I-D.filsfils-spring-srv6-network-programming].  ARGs bits, if
      any, MAY be set to 0 in the advertised service SID.

   o  Function Identifier (Static Proxy, Dynamic Proxy, Shared Memory
      Proxy, Masquerading Proxy, SR Aware Service etc).

   o  Service Type (DPI, Firewall, Classifier, LB etc).

   o  Traffic Type (IPv4 OR IPv6 OR Ethernet)

   o  Opaque Data (Such as brand and version, other extra information)

   [I-D.clad-spring-segment-routing-service-chaining]defines SR-aware
   and SR-unaware services.  This document will reuse these definitions.
   Per [RFC7752] Node Attributes are ONLY associated with the Node NLRI.
   All non-VPN information SHALL be encoded using AFI 16388 / SAFI 71.
   VPN information SHALL be encoded using AFI 16388 / SAFI 72 with
   associated RTs.

   This document extends SRv6 Node SID TLV
   [I-D.dawra-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext] and SR-MPLS SID/Label TLV
   [I-D.ietf-idr-bgp-ls-segment-routing-ext] to associate the Service
   SID Value with Service-related Information using Service Chaining(SC)
   Sub-TLV.

   Function Sub-TLV [I-D.dawra-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext] of Node SID TLV
   encodes Identifier(Function ID) along with associated Function Flags.

   A Service Chaining (SC) Sub-TLV in Figure 2 is defined as:

           +---------------------------------------+
           |         Type (2 octet)                |
           +---------------------------------------+
           |        Length (2 octet)               |

           +---------------------------------------+
           |        Flags (1 octet)                |
           +---------------------------------------+
           |        Traffic Type(1 octet)          |
           +---------------------------------------+

      Type: 16 bit field.  TBD

      Length: 16 bit field.  The total length of the value portion of
      the TLV.

      Service Type(ST): 16bit field.  Service Type: categorizes the
      Service: (such as "Firewall", "Classifier" etc).

      Flags: 8 bit field.  Bits SHOULD be 0 on transmission and MUST be
      ignored on reception.

      Traffic Type: 8 Bit field.  A bit to identify if Service is IPv4
      OR IPv6 OR L2 Ethernet Capable.  Where:

         Bit 0(LSB): Set to 1 if Service is IPv4 Capable

         Bit 1: Set to 1 if Service is IPv6 Capable

         Bit 2: Set to 1 if Service is Ethernet Capable

      RESERVED: 16bit field.  SHOULD be 0 on transmission and MUST be
      ignored on reception.

   Service Type(ST) MUST be encoded as part of SC Sub-TLV.

   There may be multiple instances of similar Services that needs to be
   distinguished.  For example, firewalls made by different vendors A
   and B may need to be identified differently because, while they have
   similar functionality, their behavior is not identical.

   In order for SDN Controller to identify the categories of Services
   and their associated SIDs, this section defines the BGP-LS extensions
   required to encode these characteristics and other relevant
   information about these Services.

   Another Optional Opaque Metadata(OM) Sub-TLV of Node SID TLV may
   encode vendor specific information.  Multiple of OM Sub-TLVs may be
   encoded.

   o  Value: Variable Length.  Based on the data being encoded and
      length is recorded in length field.

   Opaque Metadata(OM) Sub-TLV defined in Figure 3 may encode propriety
   or Service Opaque information such as:

   o  Vendor specific Service Information.

   o  Traffic Limiting Information to particular Service Type.

   o  Opaque Information unique to the Service

   o  Propriety Enterprise Service specific Information.

3.  Illustration

   In our SRv6 example above Figure 1 , Node 5 is configured with an
   SRv6 dynamic proxy segments (End.AD) C5::AD:F2 for S2.

   The BGP-LS advertisement MUST contain and Node SID TLV:

   o  Service SID: C5::AD:F2 SID

   o  Function ID: END.AD

   The BGP-LS advertisement MUST contain a SC Sub-TLV with:

   o  Service Type: Deep Packet Inspection(DPI)

   o  Traffic Type: IPv4 Capable.

   The BGP-LS advertisement MAY contain a OM Sub-TLV with:

   o  Opaque Type: Cisco DPI Version

   o  Value: 3.5

   In our example in Figure 1, using BGP SR-TE SAFI Update
   [I-D.ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy], SR Controller computes the
   candidate path and pushes the Policy.

   SRv6 encapsulation policy < CF1::, C3::, C5::AD:F2, C6::D4:B > is
   signaled to Node 1 which has mix of service and topological segments.

4.  IANA Considerations

   This document requests assigning code-points from the registry "BGP-
   LS Node Descriptor, Link Descriptor, Prefix Descriptor, and Attribute
   TLVs".

4.1.  Service Type Table

   IANA is request to create a new top-level registry called "Service
   Type Table (STT)".  Valid values are in the range 0 to 65535.  Values
   0 and 65535 are to be marked "Reserved, not to be allocated".

4.2.  Segment routing function Identifier(SFI)

   IANA is request to extend a top-level registry called "Segment
   Routing Function Identifier(SFI)" with new code points.  This
   document extends the SFI values defined in
   [I-D.dawra-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext].  Details about the Service functions
   are defined in[I-D.clad-spring-segment-routing-service-chaining].

5.  Manageability Considerations

   This section is structured as recommended in[RFC5706]

6.  Operational Considerations

6.1.  Operations

   Existing BGP and BGP-LS operational procedures apply.  No additional
   operation procedures are defined in this document.

7.  Security Considerations

   Procedures and protocol extensions defined in this document do not
   affect the BGP security model.  See the 'Security Considerations'
   section of [RFC4271]for a discussion of BGP security.  Also refer
   to[RFC4272]and[RFC6952]for analysis of security issues for BGP.

8.  Conclusions

   This document proposes extensions to the BGP-LS to allow discovery of
   Services using Segment Routing.
