                     draft-gredler-idr-bgplu-epe-15

Abstract

   The MPLS source routing paradigm provides path control for both
   intra- and inter- Autonomous System (AS) traffic.  RSVP-TE is
   utilized for intra-AS path control.  This documents outlines how MPLS
   routers may use the BGP labeled unicast protocol (BGP-LU) for doing
   traffic-engineering on inter-AS links.

Internet-Draft    Egress Peer Engineering using BGP-LU         June 2023


1.  Introduction

   Today, BGP-LU [RFC3107] is used both as an intra-AS [SEAMLESS-MPLS]
   and inter-AS routing protocol.  BGP-LU may advertise a MPLS transport
   path between IGP regions and Autonomous Systems.  Those paths may
   span one or more router hops.  This document describes advertisement
   and use of one-hop MPLS label-switched paths (LSPs) for traffic-
   engineering the links between Autonomous Systems.

   Consider Figure 1: an ASBR router (R2) advertises a labeled host
   route for the remote-end IP address of its link (IP3).  The BGP next-
   hop gets set to R2s loopback IP address.  For the advertised Label
   <N> a forwarding action of 'POP and forward' to next-hop (IP3) is
   installed in R2's MPLS forwarding table.  Now consider if R2 had
   several links and R2 would advertise labels for all of its inter-AS
   links.  By pushing the corresponding MPLS label <N> on the label-
   stack an ingress router R1 may control the egress peer selection.

             AS1           :        AS2
                           :
   +----+   iBGP   +----+  :  eBGP   +----+
   | R1 |----------| R2 |-IP2----IP3-| R3 |
   +----+          +----+  :         +----+
                           :
      -----------traffic-flow---------->
      <------------route-flow-----------

                         Figure 1: single-hop LSPs

   Of course, since R1 and R2 may not be directly connected to each
   other, if the interior routers within AS1 do not maintain routes to
   external destinations, carrying traffic to such destinations would
   require a tunnel from R1 to R2.  Such tunnel could be realized as
   either a MPLS Label Switched Path (LSP), or by GRE [RFC2784].

2.  Motivation, Rationale and Applicability

   BGP-LU is often just seen as a 'stitching' protocol for connecting
   Autonomous Systems.  BGP-LU is often not viewed as a viable protocol
   for solving the Inter-domain traffic-engineering problem.

   With this document the authors want to clarify the use of BGP-LU for
   Egress Peering traffic-engineering purposes and encourage both
   implementers and network operators to use a widely deployed and
   operationally well understood protocol, rather than inventing new
   protocols or new extensions to the existing protocols.

   *  ASBR2 (203.0.113.10/31) to ASBR5 (203.0.113.11/31)

4.  Service Route Advertisement

   In Figure 3 a simple network layout is shown.  There are two classes
   of BGP speakers:

   1.  Ingress Routers

   2.  Controllers

   Ingress routers receive BGP-LU routes from the ASBRs.  Each BGP-LU
   route corresponds to an egress link.  Furthermore Ingress routers
   receive their service routes using the BGP protocol.  The BGP Add-
   paths extension [RFC7911] ensures that multiple paths to a given
   service route may get advertised.

   As outlined in [RFC9087], Controllers receive BGP-LU routes from the
   ASBRs as well.  However the service routes may be received either
   using the BGP protocol plus the BGP Add-paths extension [RFC7911] or
   alternatively The BGP Monitoring protocol [RFC7854] (BMP).  BMP has
   support for advertising the RIB-In of a BGP router.  As such it might
   be a suitable protocol for feeding all potential egress paths of a
   service-route from a ASBR into a controller.

5.  Egress Next-hop Advertisement

   An ASBR assigns a distinct label for each of its next-hops facing an
   eBGP peer and advertises it to its internal BGP mesh.  The ASBR
   programs a forwarding action 'POP and forward' into the MPLS
   forwarding table.  Note that the neighboring AS is not required to
   support exchanging NLRIs with the local AS using BGP-LU.  It is the
   local ASBR (ASBR{1,2}) which generates the BGP-LU routes into its
   iBGP mesh or controller facing session(s).  The forwarding next-hop
   for those routes points to the link-IP addresses of the remote ASBRs
   (ASBR{3,4,5}).  Note that the generated BGP-LU routes always match
   the BGP next-hop that the remote ASBRs set their BGP service routes
   to, such that the software component doing route-resolution

Internet-Draft    Egress Peer Engineering using BGP-LU         June 2023


   understands the association between the BGP service route and the
   BGP-LU forwarding route.

5.1.  iBGP meshing and BGP nexthop rewrite policy

   Throughout this document we describe how the BGP next-hop of both BGP
   Service Routes and BGP-LU routes shall be rewritten.  This may clash
   with existing network deployments and existing network configurations
   guidelines which may mandate to rewrite the BGP next-hop when an BGP
   update enters an AS.

   The Egress peering use case assumes a central controller as shown
   Figure 3.  In order to support both existing BGP nexthop guidelines
   and the suggestion described in this document, an implementation
   SHOULD support several internal BGP peer-groups:

   1.  iBGP peer group for Ingress Routers

   2.  iBGP peer group for Controllers

   The first peer group MAY be left unchanged and use any existing BGP
   nexthop rewrite policy.  The second peer group MUST use the BGP
   rewrite policy described in this document for both service and BGP-LU
   routes.

   Of course a common iBGP peer group and a common rewrite policy may be
   used if the proposed policy is compatible with existing routing
   software implementations of BGP next-hop route resolution.

5.2.  Single-hop eBGP

   In Figure 2 the ASBR{1,5} and ASBR{2,5} links are examples for
   single-hop eBGP advertisements.

   *  ASBR5 advertises a BGP service (SAFI-1) route {172.16/12} to ASBR1
      with a BGP next-hop of 203.0.113.9.  When ASBR1 re-advertises this
      BGP service route towards its iBGP mesh (R{1,2}) it does not
      overwrite the BGP next-hop, but rather leaves it unchanged.

   *  ASBR1 advertises a BGP-LU route {203.0.113.9/32, label 100} with a
      BGP next hop of 192.0.2.11.  ASBR1 programs a MPLS forwarding
      state of 'POP and forward' to 203.0.113.9 for the advertised label
      100.

   *  ASBR5 advertises a BGP service (SAFI-1) route {172.16/12} to ASBR2
      with a BGP next-hop of 203.0.113.11.  When ASBR2 re-advertises
      this BGP service route towards its iBGP mesh (R{1,2}) it does not
      overwrite the BGP next-hop, but rather leaves it unchanged.

   *  ASBR2 advertises BGP-LU route {203.0.113.11/32, label 101} with a
      BGP next hop of 192.0.2.12.  ASBR2 programs a MPLS forwarding
      state of 'POP and forward' to 203.0.113.11 for the advertised
      label 101.

   *  Should the operator already be redistributing egress links into
      the network for purposes of BGP next-hop resolution, the BGP-LU
      route {203.0.113.9/32, label 100} will now take precedence due to
      LPM over the previous redistributed prefix {203.0.113.8/31}. If
      the BGP next-hop prefix {203.0.113.9/32} were to be redistributed
      as-is, then standard protocol best-path and preference selection
      mechanisms will be exhausted in order to select the best-path.

   *  In general, ASBR1 may receive advertisements for the route to
      172.16/12 from ASBR3 and ASBR4, as well as from ASBR5.  One of
      these other advertisements may be chosen as the best path by the
      BGP decision process.  In order to allow ASBR1 to re-advertise the
      route to 172.16/12 received from ASBR5 with next-hop 203.0.113.9,
      independent of the other advertisements received, ASBR1 and R{1,2}
      need to support the BGP add-paths extension.  [RFC7911].

5.3.  Multi-hop eBGP

   Todays operational practice for load-sharing across parallel links is
   to configure a single multi-hop eBGP session between a pair of
   routers.  The IP addresses for the Multi-hop eBGP session are
   typically sourced from the loopback IP interfaces.  Note that those
   IP addresses do not share an IP subnet.  Most often those loopback IP
   addresses are most specific host routes.  Since the BGP next-hops of
   the received BGP service routes are typically rewritten to the remote
   routers loopback IP address they cannot get immediatly resolved by
   the receiving router.  To overcome this, the operator configures a
   static route with next-hops pointing to each of the remote-IP
   addresses of the underlying links.

   In Figure 2 both ASBR{1,3} links are examples of a multi-hop eBGP
   advertisement.  In order to advertise a distinct label for a common
   FEC throughout the iBGP mesh, ASBR1 and all the receiving iBGP
   routers need to support the BGP Add-paths extension.  [RFC7911].

   *  ASBR3 advertises a BGP service (SAFI-1) route {172.16/12} over
      multi-hop eBGP to ASBR1 with a BGP next-hop of 192.0.2.13.  When
      ASBR1 re-advertises this BGP service route towards its iBGP mesh
      (R{1,2}) it does not overwrite the BGP next-hop, but rather leaves
      it unchanged.  Note that the iBGP routers SHOULD support the BGP
      Add-paths extension [RFC7911] such that ASBR can re-advertise all
      paths to the SAFI-1 route {172.16/12}.

   *  For link #1, ASBR1 advertises into its iBGP mesh a BGP-LU route
      {192.0.2.13/32, label 102} with a BGP next hop of 192.0.2.11.  To
      differentiate this from the link #2 route-advertisement (which
      contains the same FEC) it is setting the path-ID to 1.  ASBR1
      programs a MPLS forwarding state of 'POP and forward' to
      203.0.113.3 for the advertised label 102.

   *  For link #2, ASBR1 advertises into its iBGP mesh a BGP-LU route
      {192.0.2.13/32, label 103} with a BGP next hop of 192.0.2.11.  To
      differentiate this from the link #1 route-advertisement (which
      contains the same FEC) it is setting the path-ID to 2.  ASBR1
      programs a MPLS forwarding state of 'POP and forward' to
      203.0.113.5 for the advertised label 103.

   *  Should the operator already be redistributing static routes into
      the network, the BGP next-hop {192.0.2.13} may already be
      resolvable.  It is then that standard protocol best-path and
      preference selection mechanisms will be exhausted in order to
      select the best-path.

5.4.  Grouping of Peers

   In addition to offering a distinct BGP-LU label for each egress link,
   an ASBR MAY want to advertise a BGP-LU label which represents a load-
   balancing forwarding action across a set of peers.  The difference is
   here that the ingress node gives up individual link control, but
   rather delegates the load-balancing decision to a particular egress
   router which has the freedom to send the traffic down to any link in
   the Peer Set as identified by the BGP-LU label.

   Assume that ASBR1 wants to advertise a label identifying the Peer Set
   {ASBR3, ASBR4, ASBR5}.

   *  For the two ASBR{1,3} links in Figure 2, belonging to Peer Set 1,
      ASBR1 advertises a single BGP-LU route {192.0.2.13/32, label 104}
      with a BGP next hop of 192.0.2.11.  To differentiate this from the
      ASBR{1,3} single link route-advertisements (which contains the
      same FEC) it is setting the path-ID to 3 and attaching a Peer-Set
      Community 'Peer Set 1'.

   *  For the ASBR{1,4} link in Figure 2, ASBR1 advertises a BGP-LU
      route {203.0.113.7/32, label 104} with a BGP next hop of
      192.0.2.11.  To differentiate this from the ASBR{1,4} single link
      route-advertisements (which contains the same FEC) it is setting
      the path-ID to 2 and attaching a Peer-Set Community 'Peer Set 1'.

   *  For the ASBR{1,5} link in Figure 2, ASBR1 advertises a BGP-LU
      route {203.0.113.9/32, label 104} with a BGP next hop of
      192.0.2.11.  To differentiate this from the ASBR{1,5} single link
      route-advertisements (which contains the same FEC) it is setting
      the path-ID to 2 and attaching a Peer-Set Community 'Peer Set 1'.

   Finally ASBR1 programs a MPLS forwarding state of 'POP and load-
   balance' to {203.0.113.3, 203.0.113.5, 203.0.113.7, 203.0.113.9} for
   the advertised label 104.

6.  Egress Link Protection

   It is desirable to provide a local-repair based protection scheme, in
   case a redundant path is available to reach a peer AS.  Protection
   may be applied at multiple levels in the routing stack.  Since the
   ASBR has insight into both BGP-LU and BGP service advertisements,
   protection can be provided at the BGP-LU, at the BGP service or both
   levels.

6.1.  FRR backup routes

   Assume the network operator wants to provide a local-repair next-hop
   for the 172.16/12 BGP service route at ASBR1.  The active route
   resolves over the parallel links towards ASBR3.  In case the link #1
   between ASBR{1,3} fails there are now several candidate backup paths
   providing protection against link or node failure.

6.1.1.  Local links

   Assuming that the remaining link #2 between ASBR{1,3} has enough
   capacity, and link-protection is sufficient, this link MAY serve as
   temporary backup.

   However if node-protection or additional capacity is desired, then
   the local link between ASBR{1,4} or ASBR{1,5} MAY be used as
   temporary backup.

6.1.2.  Remote BGP-LU labels

   ASBR1 is both originator and receiver of BGP routing information.
   For this protection method it is required that the ASBRs support the
   [ADV-BEST-EXTERNAL] behavior.  ASBR1 receives both the BGP-LU and BGP
   service routes from ASBR2 and therefore can use the ASBR2 advertised
   label as a backup path given that ASBR1 has a tunnel towards ASBR2.

6.1.3.  Local IP forwarding tables

   For protecting plain unicast (Internet) routing information a very
   simple backup scheme could be to recurse to the relevant IP
   forwarding table and do an IP lookup to further determine a new
   egress link.

7.  Dynamic link utilization

   For a software component which controls the egress link selection it
   may be desirable to know about a particular egress links current
   utilization, such that it can adjust the traffic that gets sent to a
   particular interface.

   In [LINK-BW] a community for reporting link-bandwidth is specified.
   Rather than reporting the static bandwidth of the link, the ASBRs
   shall report the available bandwidth as seen by the data-plane via
   the link-bandwidth community in their BGP-LU update message.

   It is crucial that ingress routers learn quickly about congestion of
   an egress link and hence it is desired to get timely updates of the
   advertised per-link BGP-LU routes carrying the available bandwidth
   information when the available bandwidth crosses a certain
   (preconfigured) threshold.

   Controllers may also utilize the link-bandwidth community among other
   common mechanisms to retrieve data-plane statistics (e.g.  SNMP,
   NETCONF)
