An Information Model for Basic Network Policy and Filter Rules
draft-hares-idr-flowspec-combo-01.txt
Abstract
BGP flow specification (RFC5575) describes the distribution policy
that contains filters and actions that apply when packets are
received on a router with the flow specification function turned on.
The popularity of these flow specification filters in deployment for
DoS and SDN/NFV has led to the requirement for more BGP flow
specification match filters in the NLRI and more BGP flow
specification actions. Two solutions exist for adding new filters:
1) expanding the BGP Flow Specification version 1 (NLRI match filters
and extended communities actions) to included limited number of
filters and actions, and 2) creating a BGP Flow Specification version
2 that allows for ordering filters and actions (using new NLRI and
wide-communities for actions). The two solutions can exist in
parallel.
This document contains an overview existing proposals for expansion
of BGP flow specification policy, proposals for BGP Flow
Specification v1 and a new BGP Flow specification version 2 that
supports order of filters and actions plus allowing more actions.
This document also provides rules for the interaction of IDR Flow
Specification policy (session ephemeral policy) with policy found in
I2RS (reboot ephemeral policy), and policy found in ACLs and Policy
routing (configuration policy). This document does not contain the
individual definitions of policy rule conditions or actions.

1. Introduction
BGP flow specification (RFC5575) describes the distribution of
filters and actions that apply when packets are received on a router
with the flow specification function turned on. If one considers the
reception of the packet as an event, then BGP flow specification
describes a set of minimalistic Event-MatchCondition-Action (ECA)
policies. The initial set of policy (RFC5575 and RFC7674) for this
policy includes 12 types of match filters encoded in the NLRI for two
types of SAFIs (IP-only SAFI, 133; VPN SAFI, 134) for IPv4. The
popularity of these flow specification filters in deployment for DoS
and SDN/NFV has led to the requirement for more BGP flow
specification match filters in the NLRI and more BGP flow
specification actions.
Two solutions exist for adding new filters: 1) expanding the BGP Flow
Specification (NLRI match filters and extended communities actions)
for a limited number of filters and actions, and 2) creating a BGP
Flow Specification version 2 that allows for ordering filters and
actions (using new NLRI and wide-communities
[I-D.ietf-idr-wide-bgp-communities] for actions). The two solutions
Hares Expires September 6, 2016 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft BNP Generic Policy/Filter IM March 2016
can exist in parallel. This document contains an overview of both
solutions, rules for combining new flow specification policies which
support IPv6, L2, nvo03 and MPLS match filters and new actions, and
suggestions on how to expand yang modules to monitor both types.
This document also provides rules for the interaction of IDR Flow
Specification policy (session ephemeral policy) with policy found in
I2RS (reboot ephemeral policy), and policy found in ACLs and Policy
routing (configuration policy). This document does not contain the
individual definitions of policies whcih are contained in the other
specifications.
Section 1 of this draft contains an introduction to BGP flow
specification [RFC5575] and drafts expanding the RFC5575 state.
Section 2 contains the definitions related to this draft. Section 3
provides an overview of existing and proposed flow specification
policy rules decribed in terms of packet event, packet match
conditions, and actions (packet forwarding or packet match). The
flow specification policies reviewed include policy in RFCs
([RFC5575], [RFC7674]), IDR WG documents
([I-D.ietf-idr-flow-spec-v6], [I-D.ietf-idr-flowspec-l2vpn]), and the
following proposed IDR WG documents
o [I-D.eddy-idr-flowspec-packet-rate] (traffic limiting by packet
rate),
o [I-D.eddy-idr-flowspec-exp] (Extensions for BGP security and
others),
o [I-D.hao-idr-flowspec-nvo3] (flow specification for inner/outer
nv03 forwarding),
o [I-D.hao-idr-flowspec-redirect-tunnel] (redirect to tunnel),
o [I-D.liang-idr-bgp-flowspec-label] MPLS label related filters and
actions,
o [I-D.liang-idr-bgp-flowspec-time] Filters by time,
o [I-D.litkowski-idr-flowspec-interfaceset]Filters applied by order
for Interface group, and
o [I-D.vandevelde-idr-flowspec-path-redirect]Filters applied to
packet identifier,
Section 4 describes a proposal for an enhancement of BGP Flow
specification security for both proosal. This security enhancement
suggests using BGP ROA and allows the addition of BGP security to
Hares Expires September 6, 2016 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft BNP Generic Policy/Filter IM March 2016
validate the AS Path or AS Extended Communities and AS Wide
Communities.
Section 5 describes the minimal subset solution with:
o summary of NLRI and extended community formats (xection 5.1)
o security addition of ROA (section 5.2),
o match filter list and precedence of match filters (section 5.3),
o action list and precedence of actions(section 5.4),
o conflict with other Packet-reception Event-MatchCondition-Action
(ECA) policy (I2RS Filter-Based RIB and Policy-Based Routing
(n-tuple forwarding)) (section 5.9),
o pros-cons of this approach (section 5.10)
Section 6 contains the BGP Flow specification with the sub-sections
as section 4 except that section one summarizes the new NRLI with
ordering of filters, and wide community atoms.
Section 7 proposes changes to the proposed Flow Specification Yang
Module ([I-D.wu-idr-flowspec-yang-cfg]. yang modules in order to
provide common monitoring of BGP Flow Specification version 1 and
version 2. The changes suggest include changes to:
o local configuration of BGP Flow Specification to be distributed to
remote peers,
o storage of bgp policy received from remote BGP peers [operational
state],
o statistics on use of locally configured BGP Flow Specification and
remotely configured BGP Flow specification [operational state].
In addition, this section suggests ways to store BGP Flow
Specification that will aid in comparing the BGP Flow Specification
with other packet-reception ECA policy.
Section 9 discusses the security considerations for all the BGP Flow
Specifications.

1.1. Overview of RFC5575
[RFC5575] describes the dissemination of flow specification rules via
groups BGP Multi-Protocol NLRIs and BGP communities. A flow
specification operates on packets received in a router when the flow
specification feature is configured. The flow specification
specifies match conditions for filters for packets received by a
router and actions to do based on a match of those filters. If one
considers the reception of a packet as an event, then a BGP flow
specifications can be considered a set of minimalistic Event-Match
Condition-Action policies (ECA policies). This set is minimalistic
because there is only one event - the reception of a packet. BGP
Flow specifications are BGP policy passed between peers.
The BGP flow specification policy is specified in filters contained
in the MP-BGP NLRIs and actions contained within BGP Extended
communities. The BGP peer propagates the flow-specifications between
domains in order to automate inter-domain coordination of traffic
filtering. Two applications that are using this are: distributed
denial of service attack suppression and traffic filtering in BGP/
MPLS VPN service. BGP. BGP flow specifications use SAFI 133 non-VPN
flow specifications, and SAFI 134 for BGP VPN flow specificatinos.
BGP Flow specification are validated based on:
a) originator of flow specification matching the originator of the
best-match unicast route for the destination prefix embedded in
the flow specification, and
b) no more specific unicast routes, when compared with flow
destination prefix, that have been received from differenting
neighboring AS than the best-match unicast route
Originator is specified by BGP originator path attribute or transport
address of the BGP peer sending the BGP Flow specification. To
support BGP flow specification, implementations are required to
enforce the neighbor AS in the AS_PATH attribute is in the left-most
position of AS_PATH.

Figure 1: BGP Flow Specification Policy
Match operators includes a sequence of match operations each with the
form [op, value] where match can match values greater, lessthan, or
equal to teh value. The sequence of match operators can be combined
as logical AND or ORs.
1.2. Flow Specifications: Ephemeral or not?
BGP Flow specification does not indicate what happens to the flow
specifications if a BGP peering session closes. [RFC5575] specifies
a link to received "best-match" unicast routes, but does not provide
any standard way of determining whether the flow specification sent
by the BGP peer is kept after the BGP session closes. It is unclear
whether BGP Flow specifications disappear when a BGP session closes
(denoted as BGP session ephemeral), or disapppear when the BGP
Hares Expires September 6, 2016 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft BNP Generic Policy/Filter IM March 2016
module's hardware or software reboots (reboot ephemeral), or it is
kept like configuration state that survives a reboot.
This document specifies that the default policy is that the BGP Flow
Specification received from remote peers like other BGP peer state
received from remote peers disappears when the BGP peer session
closes. Local BGP Peer configuration is like all local configuration
and persists while the BGP Peer is configured.
If an implementation decides to implement operator-applied policy
that retains remotely received BGP Flow Specification policy after
the BGP Peer closes, this action must be treated as if these BGP Flow
Specification policy was locally configured. Therefore, these two
actions are out of scope of this document.
1.3. Precedence between BGP Flow Specification and other packet-ECA
policies
Why is this precedence bewteen BGP Flow Specification and other
packet-ECA policies needed?
[RFC5575] states that Flow specification takes advantage of the "ACL"
feature (section 1), but it does not state how BGP Flow specification
interacts with ACL features. NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF
[I-D.ietf-netconf-restconf] can be used to set ACL configuration
state using the [I-D.ietf-netmod-acl-model] yang data module.
One of the proposals for a new BGP Flow specification action
([I-D.litkowski-idr-flowspec-interfaceset]) proposes an action which
defines that a specific ordering of BGP flow-specifications and ACLs
interaction for a set of interfaces for the drop/forward actions (see
section 3 for details). This action proposals suggests a precedence
between these two filter actions.
ACL is not the only packet-ECA policy used as an alternative to
destination based routing. Two other n-tuple packet-reception ECA
modules exist: n-tuple policy-based RIB/FIB (aka policy routing) and
I2RS Filter-based RIB. The n-tuple policy based forwarding RIB/FIB
configured on specific interfaces, and forward based on the match of
an n-tuple filter that modifies, forwards, or drop n-tuples. If no
match exists, this packet-reception ECA RIB forward this to a default
RIB. A proposal for standardized yang model for this is in (draft-
rtgwg-hares-rtgwg-fb-rib-00.txt).
The I2RS Filter-Based RIB (FB-RIB) also specifies another way to do
flow filtering per packet/frame being received (n-tuple packet ECA
policy) ([I-D.kini-i2rs-fb-rib-info-model],
[I-D.hares-i2rs-fb-rib-data-model]) using a packet filter event-
Hares Expires September 6, 2016 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft BNP Generic Policy/Filter IM March 2016
match_condition-action policy [I-D.hares-i2rs-pkt-eca-data-model].
The I2RS protocol allows a I2RS Client to talk to an I2RS Agent
within a routing device ([I-D.ietf-i2rs-architecture]) to set
ephemermal policy which is module ephemeral and box ephemeral. The
I2RS match_conditions examine frame/packet information (L1-L4, NV03,
and SFC), and I2RS match_actions that modify packet/frame
information. Figure 2 shows the structure of packet filtering ECA
rules from [I-D.hares-i2rs-fb-rib-data-model] which used by I2RS
Filter-Based RIB (FB-RIB). Note that these I2RS Filters have each
rule has policy rule name, policy rule order number, and rule status.
Section 5 compares the filters and actions between BGP Flow
Specification, I2RS Filter-Based RIB, Filter-RIB (aka Policy-Based
Routing), and the ACL. The I2RS packet filter rules also allow the
rule to be ordered and named. I2RS flow-based filters are ephemeral
state [I-D.ietf-i2rs-ephemeral-state] are stored as ephemeral state
which is lost upon a reboot.

1.4. BGP Flow Specification and logging
[RFC5575] specifies the Traffic Action Extended Community which
specifies a Terminal (T) action flag and Sampling (S) flag. The
sample flag indicates that "traffic sampling and logging" [is
enabled] for a set of flow specifications in a BGP packet. the
details of traffic sampling and logging are not specified in this
standard. Logging and sampling provide valuable information to
establish the impact of BGP Flow specification in order to automatic
intra-AS DoS prevention or inter-AS automation of DOS or VPN traffic
filters. [RFC5575] was written before the advent of yang modules
that specify operational state [I-D.ietf-netmod-opstate-reqs].
[I-D.wu-idr-flowspec-yang-cfg] proposes a BGP Flow Specification Yang
Data model with BGP Flow Specification configuration, operational
state for BGP Flow specifications received from peers (BGP Session
Ephemeral state), and statistics on the use of filters, actions, and
dropped packets. Section 7 describes how the logging and
notifications for BGP Flow specifications can be added to this yang
module.
1.5. BGP Flow Specification and BGPSEC
[RFC5575] does not require BGP Flow specifications to be passed
BGPSEC [I-D.ietf-sidr-bgpsec-protocol]. [RFC5575] states "as long as
traffic filtering rules are restricted to match the corresponding
unicast routing paths for relevant prefixes, the security
characteristics of this protocol are equivalent to existing security
properties of BGP unicast properties", and "where this is not the
case, this would open the door to further denial of service attack"
(section 10). [I-D.eddy-idr-flowspec-exp] suggests passing BGP Flow
Specification in BGPSEC. Section 10 summarizes the security issues
with the current [RFC5575] and the enhancements described in this
draft, and discusses the proposed fixes that that
[I-D.eddy-idr-flowspec-exp] provides.

3. BGP Flow Specification Policy - Original and Expansions
3.1. Packet Reception Event
The reception of a packet is the event that causes the BGP policy to
enact. By default the BGP Flow specification applies to all
interfaces. This can be restricted by a BGP Flow Specification
Action or policy local to a node running the BGP peer session.
The definition of a packet is not limited to a IP packet (IPv4 or
IPv6) but also includes mpls packets, L2 frames (802.1Q),
encapsulated packets (NVGRE or VXLAN or any other NV03
encapsulation).
The same definition of the event is utilized by the I2RS Filter-based
RIBs ([I-D.kini-i2rs-fb-rib-info-model] and
[I-D.hares-i2rs-fb-rib-data-model] and the Filter-Based RIBs (draft-
hares-rtgwg-fb-rib-data-model), and ACL filters
[I-D.ietf-netmod-acl-model].
These packet events are the standardized packet events. Additional
packet events for vendors may augment these standards events.
3.2. BGP Flow Specification Match Filters
[RFC5575] defines match conditions for IPv4 to be carried with the
NLRI format for 12 types of packet match events (see figure 3), and
that all filters specified must be combined by a "AND". The proposed
expansions to this filter list utilizing the Flow Specification NLRI
are listed in figure 4. [I-D.li-idr-flowspec-rpd] proposed a BGP
Hares Expires September 6, 2016 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft BNP Generic Policy/Filter IM March 2016
Attribute which contains additional flow specification filters, and
actions. Figure 5 contains the match filters from this draft.
The proposals to expand flow specification beyond [RFC5575] filter
specifications include:
Matches for the inner-outer header for encapsulated traffic for
being specified for the NV03 networks (MF-1, MF-2, MF-3) in
[I-D.hao-idr-flowspec-nvo3],
extended match filters carried in BGP attribute which includes
time (MF-5) for enacting flow-specification filter rules
([I-D.li-idr-flowspec-rpd], [I-D.liang-idr-bgp-flowspec-time]).
One filter that seems obvious is the filter for the MPLS labels.
However, no proposal includes this Match filter for MPLS.
The precedence order for the match filter rules was specified in
[RFC5575] and expanded in [I-D.ietf-idr-flowspec-l2vpn]. The
combined precedence is shown in figure 4.

3.2.2. Why Current Match precedence Logic a problem
The current precedence logic requires the following:
o destination address (0/0 is fine for destination match,
Hares Expires September 6, 2016 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft BNP Generic Policy/Filter IM March 2016
o components to go in numerical order,
o and the matches to be an "AND of all component matches.
This does not allow matching MPLS before IP address, or MAC Addresses
before IP addresses. This may make some n-tuple filter policies more
difficult or even impossible to express in this fasion.
3.3. BGP Flow Specification Actions
[RFC5575] also defines four actions which would be carried in BGP
extended communities: traffic rate (in bytes), traffic action,
redirect to IPv4 VPAN, and traffic marking. Traffic action has two
bits Terminal bit (T) and Sample (S) bit. If the Terminal Bit is
set, the the node apply all filter rules based as defined by "AND"
and precedence. If the terminal bit is clear, then the flow
specification process is to stop. The Sample bit implies that the
flow specification enables sampling and logging for this event.
Unfortunately, [RFC5575] was unclear about the "redirect to IP VPN
action" and did not handle IPv6. [RFC7674] was written to clarify
[RFC5575] by clearly specifying the 3 extended communities that "IPv4
VPN" needed to support AS 4 byte, and IPv4 address Routing
Distinguishers (RDs). [I-D.ietf-idr-flow-spec-v6] was written to
extend this work to IPv6 filters, and to include the IPv6 flow in the
filter set as figure 5 shows.

Proposals to extend the actions take upon a match include:

limit by packets the number of packets forwarded,
o (FA2)[I-D.li-idr-flowspec-rpd] specifies an "R" bit for traffic
action that allows a BGP Attribute to pass additional BGP
Flowspecification match filters and actions,
o (FA3) [I-D.hao-idr-flowspec-redirect-tunnel] specifies a
redirection to a tunnel specified in
[I-D.rosen-idr-tunnel-encaps],
o (FA4)[I-D.ietf-idr-flowspec-l2vpn] specifie push, pop, or swap
VLANs before forwarding,
o (FA5) [I-D.ietf-idr-flowspec-l2vpn] specifies the ability to
replace TPIDs values with new values before forwarding,
o (FA6) [I-D.liang-idr-bgp-flowspec-label] specifies push/pop/swap
on MPLS labels before forwarding,

Figure 8
3.3.2. Why ordering is needed
One the probems with adding the actions is that precedence has not
been set for the actions, and some actions can conflict. (see
section
[RFC5575] indicates that the actions specified in the document
represent only the "subset of filtering actions that can be
interpreted across the network". As additional standardized actions
occur, the non-standard action will need to have a precedence below
the standardized actions.
To allow better security for Flow Specification NLRIs, the BGP
validation of prefixes using the Route Origination (ROAs) technology
([RFC6483]) should be placed as the first action for a prefix. If
the path needs to be validated The bgp-sec protocol
[I-D.ietf-sidr-bgpsec-protocol] can be used to validate the AS path
and actions. These validations must be first, and this is not
allowed with the current actions.
One the probems with adding the actions is that precedence has not
been set for the actions, and some actions may conflict. Table 6
suggests an order with the fewest conflicts, but even there proposal
will need to be updated to handle these conflicts.

4. Proposal to Expand BGP Flow Specification Security
[RFC5575] does not require BGP ROA [RFC6483] as the BGP ROA was not
standardized until after [RFC5575]. [RFC5575] states "as long as
traffic filtering rules are restricted to match the corresponding
unicast routing paths for relevant prefixes, the security
characteristics of this protocol are equivalent to existing security
properties of BGP unicast properties", and "where this is not the
case, this would open the door to further denial of service attack"
(section 10).
[RFC5575] requires an extension of the BGP route selection procedures
[RFC4271] in section 9.1.2 in order to validate the BGP flow
specification NLRI. The BGP Flow Specification NLRI is valid if and
only if:
o "the originator of the flow specification matches the orginator of
the the best-match unicast route for the destination prefix
embedded in the flow specification",
o "no more specific unicast routes" exist "when compared with the
flow destination prefix", that have been received from a different
neighboring AS than the best-match unicast route, which has been
determined in step A".
This set of validation requirements also require that BGP
implementations are required to enforce the AS_PATH attribute having
the neighbor AS in the left-most position.
Hares Expires September 6, 2016 [Page 23]
Internet-Draft BNP Generic Policy/Filter IM March 2016
4.1. Validation for NLRI with L2VPN validation
These validation steps required a unicast IPv4 or IPv6 route be
transmitted with L2VPN ([I-D.ietf-idr-flowspec-l2vpn]) and the NV03
flow specifications [I-D.hao-idr-flowspec-nvo3] to validate the path.
These specifications do not provide additional details on any
additional validation needed for the L2VPN or NV03 Case.
4.2. Using ROA to validate BGP Flow Specification
Since [RFC5575] BGP Route Origin validation [RFC6482] has been
standardized, and the BGPSEC protocol [I-D.ietf-sidr-bgpsec-protocol]
has been developed. This document proposes that an action be created
in both the proposals that has precedence over all other actions.
[I-D.eddy-idr-flowspec-exp] specifies cryptographic enhancements that
include:
o creating a BGP identifier (in BGP attribute or in BGPSEC
signature),
o Expanding BGPSEC coverage for Route Orgination Authorization (ROA)
to cover the orignator of the BGP Flow specification for the BGP
Flow specification SAFIs.
o Covering the BGP Extended Communities with BGP signature.
While this work is interesting, the authors of
[I-D.eddy-idr-flowspec-exp] consider it research into the use of BGP
security. Therefore, this proposal suggest this addition be covered
as an expansion to the ROA process. As this solitifies the ROA-
action should be updated to include this functionality.
4.3. Using BGPSec to validate AS Path
The use of bgpsec protocol to validate the AS Path is orthongonal to
the validation of the prefix to origin AS. Therefore, local
configuration can determine if the bgpsec protocol is supported and
required to validate the AS Path checked for the set of peers using
BGP Flow Specification. If bgpsec is configured to be used, the BGP
FLOW Specification SHOULD use the secured AS Path for its validation
checks.

summary of NLRI and extended community formats (xection 5.1)
Hares Expires September 6, 2016 [Page 24]
Internet-Draft BNP Generic Policy/Filter IM March 2016
security addition of ROA (section 5.2),
match filter list and precedence of match filters (section 5.3),
action list and precedence of actions(section 5.4),
conflict with other Packet-reception Event-MatchCondition-Action
(ECA) policy (I2RS Filter-Based RIB and Policy-Based Routing
(n-tuple forwarding)) (section 5.9),
pros-cons of this approach (section 5.10)
It is important to note that BGP Flow Specification is not the only
packet reception ECA policy in a system. BGP Flow specification is
session ephemeral state which is not guaranteed to persist when the
BGP peer session closes. I2RS Filter-Based RIB is reboot ephemeral
state which will not persist when the routing entity reboots. Policy
RIB (aka Filter Forwarding RIB) and ACLs are configuration state
which can persist over the reboot of a system. In many systems,
operator-applied policy may set the priority between these systems.
In order to provide interoperability between BGP Flow Specificastion
and current IETF management systems using yang-models accessed by
netconf, restconf, and I2RS protocols, it important to define the
default precedence between these different packet reception ECA
policies. Section 5.9 provides the details on this proposals.
5.1. Summary of Existing Flow Specification Formats
The existing BGP Flow Specification is contained with the the BGP
Flow Specification NLRI encoded using MP_REACH_NLRI and the
MP_UNREACH_NLRI as defined in [RFC4760]. If the application does not
require the next-hop field, it will be encoded as 0 length. The BGP
FLow Specification NLRI is encoded as shown in figure 11. [RFC5575]
specifies SAFI 133 for "dissemination of IPv4 flow specification",
and SAFI 134 for "dissemination of VPNv4 Flow Specification".
[I-D.ietf-idr-flow-spec-v6] expands the use of these SAFI to the IPv6
AFI. [I-D.ietf-idr-flowspec-l2vpn] expands this use to L2VPN for the
VPLS [RFC4761], EVPN and LDP-Based VPLS [RFC4762] with BGP auto-
discovery [RFC6074].

The actions for the BGP Flow Specification are carried in 6 bytes of
the BGP Extended Community.
5.2. New Validation Rules for BGP Flow Specification: Precedence with
ROA
This precedence within BGP Session Ephemeral state depends on the
preference associated with valid BGP Session flow specification NLRI
received within a BGP State. Since [RFC5575] was published,
additional mechanisms to validate originating prefixes with an AS
with Prefix Orgin Validation (ROA), and the BGPSEC Secure Path have
been standardized. The precedence of these mechanisms should be from
BGP Security to ROA to [RFC5575]. The BGP peers determine that a BGP
Flow specification is valid if and only if one of the following
cases:
o If the BGP Flow Specification NLRI has a IPv4 or IPv6 address in
destination address match filter and the following is true:
* A BGP ROA has been received to validate the originator, and
* the route is the best-match unicast route for the destination
prefix embedded in the match filter; or
o If a BGP ROA has not been received that matches the IPv4 or IPv6
destination address in the destination filter, the match filter
must abide by the [RFC5575] validation rules of:
* The originator match of the flow specification matches the
originator of the best-match unicast route for the destination
prefix filter embedded in the flow specification", and
Hares Expires September 6, 2016 [Page 26]
Internet-Draft BNP Generic Policy/Filter IM March 2016
* No more specific unicast routes exist when compared with the
flow destination prefix that have been received from a
different neighboring AS than the best-match unicast route,
which has been determined in step A.
The best match is defined to be the longest-match NLRI with the
highest preference.
5.3. Match Condition Filters with Precedence Ordering
Match conditions depends on an "AND" of all rules within a Flow
Specification policy. A Flow specification policy is defined by a
sequence of BGP Flow specification NLRIs with filter-match rules.
The sequence of Flow Specification rules are terminate Traffic Action
with a T-Bit flag set to zero.
Match condition processing occurs in the following overall precedence
ordered from IP protocol to
1. IP Protocol (1-13),
2. NV03-matches (MF-1 to MF-3),
3. Other overlay matches (spring, SFC)
4. L2VPN matches (14-24),
5. MPLS matches (MF-4),
6. L2VPN matches (currently 14-24),
7. interfaces matches (MF-5),
8. time matches (MF-6), and
9. Non-Standardized (First-Come-First Serve(FCFS)) match conditions
(see [RFC5575] section 11)
Editorial note: This list is longer than many, and will be discussed
on the IDR mail list.
Table 6 in figure 9 shows the filter by filter precedence order. All
flow specification filters combine as an "AND" of all filters. A re-
ordering of match filters is only possible in the the proposed
version 2 of BGP Flow specification.

5.3.2. FCFS Flow Specification Match Condition Filter Interaction
[RFC5575] allowed for non-IETF standardized Flow Specification
filters and extended community actions. The beginning order of
precedence for non-IETF standardized FCFS BGP Flow specification
match filters is 65. The network management yang modules SHOULD
store the BGP Flow Specification match type byte for both IETF
Standardized BGP Flow Specification Match Filters, FCFS BGP BGP Flow
Specification Match filters.
5.4. Flow Specification Actions and Action Precedence
Some BGP Flow Specification actions can conflict with other BGP Flow
specification Actions. It will be the duty of each action
specification to indicate how it interacts with the deafult
precedence in Table 9 in figure 13 and the potential conflicts (shown
in table 6 figure 9).
Table 9 provides the default precedence for actions for the minimal
subset. All Standards actions have precedence overall FCFS actions
incoded in BGP Extended Communities.

5.4.1. FCFS Extended Communities with BGP Flow Specification Actions
[RFC7153]allows for FCFS (First Come First Serve) allocation of BGP
transitive types. If an action is specified in the FCFS registry,
the default precedence is after all standardized BGP Flow
Specification actions(action 65+). The BGP Flow Specification Yang
models should store the Extended Community value for the FCFS based
Flow Specification action. If the precedence ordering has been
changed by the FCFS, this should be stored in the configuration of
BGP Flow Specification and in the operational state.
5.5. Precedence with other packet ECA policies
The BGP Flow Specification policy is currently handled as part of the
route selection process within BGP. Between BGP and other n-tuple
packet ECA policies, the precedence policies is handled by the
Hares Expires September 6, 2016 [Page 30]
Internet-Draft BNP Generic Policy/Filter IM March 2016
operator-applied policies (which often have operator default) which
assign order and preference of filters within within an order. The
default assumption for BGP-FS is to assume the worst possible valid
order if none is specified (e.g. 254 out of 255 ), and to assume the
priority within that order as shown in table 10. BGP Flow
Specification (BGP-FS) Flow Specification for 128.2/16 destination
port 20 may conflict with the following:
a) I2RS Flow Specification for destination address 128.2/16 with
destination port 12, and
b) ACL filter for 128.2/16 destination address 128.2/16 with
destination port 12.
In summmary, the precedence is least dynamic in configuration to most
dynamic received. However, a BGP-FS action may signal a remote
operator applied priority for a set of routes that allows the filters
to combine certain filters (see table 11).

Pro - for Minimal subset (Option 1)
Version 1's basic mechanism for BGP Flow Specification has been
tested. Additions can be added incrementally.
Con - for Minimal Subset (Option 1)
The current version 1 of the Flow Specification does not have

6.3.2. Precedence of filters among Routing Functions
As discussed in the minimum sub-set (Option 1 for BGP-FS), there
needs to be a precedence between n-tuple packet ECA policies. This
precedence is determined by policy rule order and a preference among
policy rules with the same order. Match Condition order is defined
by the BGP-FS Filter order, and within the match the action order is
defined by the BGP-FS.
Precedence among policy rules from difference sources with the same
order is commonly specified by operator-applied policies (which may
be supplied by vendor defaults) where lower priority implies a better
route. For example, a BGP Flow Specification Policy rule can be set
to a priority of 150 where an static ACL policy might be set to a
priority of 40. If the same two n-tuple packet ECA policies exist,
then the lower priority rule within the the same order is selected to
be active.
The operator-applied policy can change these priorities globally or
for a specific route.
If any packet ECA related policy changes, then the BGP Flow
specification must be re-evaluated per policy rule per order and
priority.
6.3.3. Precedence for re-ordering Match Policy
Actions that change interact between levels of policy need to be
defined in terms of policy actions in BGP Flow Specification. For
example [I-D.litkowski-idr-flowspec-interfaceset] provides a
definition of the following combination of filter rules between ACLs
and BGP flow Specifications:
1. Forward if both ACL forward and BGP Flow Specification Forward
2. Drop if either ACL drops or BGP Flow Specification drops.
6.4. Actions and precedence of actions
The actions allowed for BGP are listed in Table 12 provides the
default precedence for actions for the minimal subset. All Standards
actions have precedence overall FCFS actions incoded in BGP Extended
Communities. The default order for these actions are listed below.
All drafts defining actions must deal with the conflicts between
actions and the ordering (see section 4).

6.5. Pro-Con of BGP-FS-v2 (option 2}
Pro - for version 2
The current version 1 of the Flow Specification does not have
ordering of packet ECA policy rules, flow specification filters, or
flow specification actions other than the default precedence.
Current implementations of BGP flow specification are finding this
lack of ordering to cause operational difficulties.
Con - for version 2
Hares Expires September 6, 2016 [Page 37]
Internet-Draft BNP Generic Policy/Filter IM March 2016
Version 2 must be coded. It can either be a BGP attribute with the
policy rules (NLRI filters and actions) inside such as described in
[I-D.li-idr-flowspec-rpd] or it can be a combination of a new BGP
Flow Specification version 2 NLRI + Wide Community actions (with
ordering).
(Additional comments will be added here)
7. Flow Specification Yang models
The Flow Specification Yang models have configuration and operational
state. BGP Flow Specification (BGP-FS) configuration have local
configuration for BGP-FS and locally configured BGP-FS policy rules.
Operational state has three components:
1. Local node's BGP-FS Operational Configuration installed (if
supported)
2. BGP Flow specification rules received from peers,
3. BGP Flow Specfication match statistics
Comparison of the the BGP local configuration for BGP-FS policy rules
with the BGP-FS policy rules, is aided by common yang definitions
between these two functions. Comparison of the BGP-FS Policy rules
(locally configured or received) with I2RS Filter-Based RIB (FB-RIB),
packet-ECA policy, ACL policy rules, and routing table policy rules
requires is aided by common yang definitions between packet-ECA
filtesr.
This section compares BGP Flow Specification yang model in
[I-D.wu-idr-flowspec-yang-cfg] and the I2RS FB-RIB data model is
described in [I-D.hares-i2rs-fb-rib-data-model] which uses the packet
reception ECA policy data model found in
[I-D.hares-i2rs-pkt-eca-data-model]. A comparison of the policy
structures is given in table 8, and the operation status model is
given in table 9. These models are similar. It would be helpful to
use a common yang definitions found in
[I-D.hares-i2rs-pkt-eca-data-model].
The packet reception ECA policy data model is also used to describe
configured packet reception filter RIBs which (aka Policy Routing)
described in (draft-hares-rtgwg-fb-rib-00.txt).

8. IANA Considerations
This section complies with [RFC7153]
TBD. There are a lot of assignments which will be filled in after
the initial review of the technology.
9. Security Considerations
The new BGP Validation described in section 4.1 with the ROA improves
on [RFC5575] security by improving the validation of the originating
AS having permissions to send Flow specifcation for a prefix. The
validation of the path attributes and/or path requires the BGPSEC
[I-D.ietf-sidr-bgpsec-protocol]. [I-D.eddy-idr-flowspec-exp]
contains suggestions on how to implement this with flow
specification, but at this time the authors consider the technology
Hares Expires September 6, 2016 [Page 40]
Internet-Draft BNP Generic Policy/Filter IM March 2016
described in [I-D.eddy-idr-flowspec-exp] so this draft does not
suggest mandating it. However, it encourages the develop of such
work that pairs BGP Flow Specification with BGPSEC protocol. When
this work matures, this specification or BGP Flow Specification
version 2 should implement it.
