           BGP Flow Specification Version 2 - More IP Actions
                draft-hares-idr-fsv2-more-ip-actions-01

Abstract

   The BGP flow specification version 2 (FSv2) for Basic IP defines user
   ordering of filters along with FSv1 IP Filters and FSv1 actions.
   This draft suggests additional IP actions for Flow Specification FSv2
   in Extended Communities and Community path attribute.

Internet-Draft          BGP FSv2 More IP Actions               June 2024


1.  Introduction

   Version 2 of BGP flow specification was originally defined in
   [I-D.ietf-idr-flowspec-v2] (denoted FSv2).  However, the full FSv2
   specification contains more than initial implementers desired.
   Therefore, this original FSv2 draft remains an WG draft, but the
   content will be split out into functions that implementers can
   manage.  Section 1.3 contains the list of documents resulting from
   the split of the original FSv2 documents.

   FSv2 defines new user-ordered filters that will be used with the IPv4
   (AFI=1) and IPv6 (AFI=2) 2 new SAFIs (TBD1, TBD2) for FSv2 to be used
   with 5 AFIs (1, 2, 6, 25, and 31) to allow user-ordered lists of
   traffic match filters for user-ordered traffic match actions encoded
   in Communities (Wide or Extended).

   This draft specifies defines extensions to the FSv2 Basic IP package
   [I-D.hares-idr-fsv2-ip-basic] to support additional IP filters for IP
   packet and payload.  The filters are passed in the Extended IP
   Filters (type 2) of the subTLVs.  This filter form contains a filter
   version number so filters can be added easily.

   BGP Flow Specification version 1 (FSv1) as defined in [RFC8955],
   [RFC8956], and [RFC9117] specified 2 SAFIs (133, 134) to be used with
   IPv4 AFI (AFI = 1) and IPv6 AFI (AFI=2).  FSv2 specifies 2 new SAFIs
   (TBD1, TBD2) for FSv2 to be used with 5 AFIs (1, 2, 6, 25, and 31) to
   allow user-ordered lists of traffic match filters for user-ordered
   traffic match actions encoded in Communities (Wide or Extended).  The
   first SAFI (TBD1) will be used for IP forwarding, and the second SAFI
   (TBD2) will be used with VPNs.  The supported AFI/SAFI combinations
   in FSv2 are:

   *  IPv4 (AFI=1, SAFI=TBD1),

   *  IPv6 (AFI=2, SAFI=TBD1),

   *  L2 (AFI=6, SAFI=TBD1),

   *  SFC (AFI=31, SAFI=TBD1),

   *  BGP/MPLS IPv4 VPN (AFI=1, SAFI=TBD2),

   *  BGP/MPLS IPv6 VPN (AFI=2, SAFI=TBD2),

   *  BGP/MPLS L2VPN (AFI=25, SAFI=TBD2), and

   *  SFC VPN (AFI=31, SAFI=TBD2)

Internet-Draft          BGP FSv2 More IP Actions               June 2024


   FSv1 and FSv2 use different AFI/SAFIs to send flow specification
   filters.  Since BGP route selection is performed per AFI/SAFI, this
   approach can be termed “ships in the night” based on AFI/SAFI.

   FSv2 specifies allows new IP filters to be used with the IPv4 (AFI=1)
   and IPv6 (AFI=2).  FSv2 for Basic IP suggests these new filters are
   added in a component called "Extended IP Filters
   [I-D.hares-idr-fsv2-ip-basic].  [I-D.hares-idr-fsv2-more-ip-filters]
   provides a summary of the additional IP filters which have been
   adopted by the IDR WG or proposed to the IDR WG.  It is anticipated
   that the filters will be added in groups as needed by applications.

   The original FSV2 work [I-D.ietf-idr-flowspec-v2] proposed an user-
   ordered of traffic match actions encoded in the Community Path
   Attribute.  This document proposes:

   *  a specification order for IP actions in Extended Communities, and

   *  a user ordering for IP Actions in the Community path Attribute.

   Section 2 contains a description of the format of the FSv2 actions in
   Extended Communities and Wide Communities.

   Since Extended Communities can be attached to a FSv2 NLRI with
   filters, it is possible that the Extended Communities conflict with
   each other.  Section 3 lists the FSv1 actions that conflict with one
   another if attached to the same filter.

   This document proposes that Extended Community actions attached to
   FSv2 NLRI use a pre-defined order that occurs after the User defined
   orders.  The predefined order for Extended Communities in FSv2 NLRI
   would be set by the action type value (see section 6.3).  For
   example, if the user-actions range from 1-1000, the Extended
   Community order would start after those actions.

   Sections 4 and 5 provide a short description of new actions proposed
   for FSv2.  Section 4 provides a description of the Action Chain
   Ordering proposed for the FSv2 for Basic IP
   ([I-D.hares-idr-fsv2-ip-basic].  Section 5 lists the potential new
   actions from FSv2 actions described in IDR WG drafts or proposed as
   individual drafts.

   Sections 6, 7, and 8 provide information on validation, ordering, and
   error handling of FSv2 actions.  Section 6 describes validation of
   actions and ordering of actions (user ordered and default).
   Section 7 describes error handling for FSv2 actions.  Section 8
   provides an example for ordering of actions.

1.3.  FSv2 Series of Specifications

   The full FSV2 information is contained in [I-D.ietf-idr-flowspec-v2].

   Feedback from the implementers indicate that the Flow Specification
   v2 needs to broken into drafts based on the use cases the technology
   supports.  These include IPv4/IPv6 IP Basic Filters for DDOS, IPv4/
   IPv6 filters beyond DDOS, BGP/MPLS IPv4 VPN, BGP/MPLS IPv6 VPN, BGP/
   MPLS L2VPN, Segment routing (SRMPLS, SRv6), SFC, SFC VPN, L2, L2
   VPNs, and tunneled traffic (e.g., nv03 WG tunnels).

   The following is the list of planned drafts:

   *  FSv2 IP Basic ([I-D.hares-idr-fsv2-ip-basic])

   *  FSv2 More IP Filters ([I-D.hares-idr-fsv2-more-ip-filters])

   *  FSv2 More IP Actions ([I-D.hares-idr-fsv2-more-ip-actions])

   *  FSv2 Non-IP Filters (draft-hares-idr-fsv2-non-ip-Filters)

   *  FSv2 Non-IP Actions (draft-hares-idr-fsv2-non-ip-actions)

   [I-D.hares-idr-fsv2-ip-basic] has a description of each draft.  The
   original FSV2 information is contained in [I-D.ietf-idr-flowspec-v2].

2.  Format of FSv2 Actions

   The FSv2 actions may be sent in an Extended Community or a Community
   Path Attribute.  User ordering of FSv2 actions requires using the
   Community Path Attribute.  This section reviews the describes the
   format of FSv2 actions in Extended Communities or Community Path
   Attributes.

   The Extended Community encodes the Flow Specification actions in the
   Extended IPv4 Community format [RFC4360] or in the Extended IPv6
   Community format [RFC5701].  The Extended Community actions cannot be
   ordered by the user, but will be ordered by default.  The implementer
   and the operator must be aware of interactions between any FSv2
   actions must be specified in an Extended Community.

   FSv2 IP Basic proposes that Extended Community actions attached to
   FSv2 NLRI use a pre-defined order that occurs after the User defined
   orders.  The predefined order for Extended Communities in FSv2 NLRI
   would be set by the action type value (see section 6.3).  For
   example, if the user-actions range from 1-1000, the Extended
   Community order would start after those actions.

   The Community attribute [I-D.ietf-idr-wide-bgp-communities] describes
   an attribute with flexible format for specifying community
   information.

   This section first describes the following Information related to
   FSv2 Actions in Extended Communities:

   *  Generic Transitive Extended Communities for FSv2 Actions (FS-TG-
      EC) [RFC8955]

   *  Transitive Extended Communities for redirect.  This includes:

      -  (Generalized redirection ID with Sequencing and copy)
         [I-D.ietf-idr-flowspec-path-redirect]

      -  Redirect plus Copy bit [I-D.ietf-idr-flowspec-redirect-ip]

      -  Transitive IPv6-Address Extended Community formats for FSv2
         actions [RFC8956]

2.1.  Encoding FSv2 Actions in Generic Transitive Communities

   The FSv2 actions encoded in Generic Transitive Communities inherit
   the FSv1 actions in Generic Transitive Communities.

   The Extended Community encodes the Flow Specification actions in the
   Extended Community format as Generic Transitive Extended Communities
   per [RFC4360] per [RFC8955], [RFC9117], and [RFC9184].

   The format of the these actions can be:

   Generic Transitive Extended Community (0x80):  where the Sub-Types
      are defined in the Generic Transitive Extended Community Sub-Types
      registry.

   Generic Transitive Extended Community Part 2 (0x81):  where the Sub-
      Types are defined in the Generic Transitive Extended Community
      Part 2 Sub-Types registry.

   Transitive Four-Octet AS-Specific Extended Community (0x82):  where
      the Sub-Types defined in the Generic Transitive Extended Community
      Part 3 Sub-Types registry.

   Generic Transitive Extended Community Part 3 (0x83):  where the Sub-
      Types defined in the Transitive Opaque Extended Community Sub-
      Types" registry.

2.2.  Encoding Path Forwarding in IPv4 Transitive Extended Communities

   FSv2 needs to refine the following Transitive Extended Communities
   that are not "Transitive Generic Communities" to a specific set of
   functions.  These features provide overlapping functions.  While some
   of these features are implemented, these actions should be be
   reviewed.

   There are three types of functions:

   *  Active filters on interfaces in group for inbound or outbound data
      traffic

   *  Redirect to an IP address.  Optionally perform a traffic action
      (copy)

   *  Redirect to an Indirection ID of a specific type.  Optionally
      perform a traffic action (copy).

2.3.  Encoding FSv2 Actions in IPv6 Extended Community

   The IPv6 Extended Community encodes the Flow Specification actions in

2.4.  FSv2 Actions encoded in Community Attribute

   The user-ordered FSv2 Actions use the Communities Path Attribute
   defined in [I-D.ietf-idr-wide-bgp-communities].  The Community BGP
   Path attribute is a flexible Community container which allows
   different formats for different community applications.  The FSv2
   Community Type ([FSv2-CA], type=TBD4) is only used for FSv2 user-
   ordered actions.

   If both the Extended Community FSv2 Actions (FSv2-EC) and the FSv2
   Community Attribute actions are specified (FSv2-CA) then the default
   preference will be the FSv2-CA prior to the FSv2-EC.  This preference
   may be changed based on a configuration knob.  However, this
   configuration MUST be consistent within an Autonomous System or a
   group of Autonomous Systems where both the FSv2-CA and FSv2-EC are
   deployed.

4.  Actions Proposed for FSv2 for Basic IP

   The long-term goal of the FSv2 actions is to allow user ordering of
   the flow specification actions.  Only the Community Path Attribute
   provides enough structured space for user ordering of actions.  The
   IDR WG draft [I-D.ietf-idr-flowspec-v2] contains the long-term plan
   for FSv2 filters with actions.  Any new Actions for FSv2 should be
   specified in both the Extended Community format and the Community
   Path Attribute formatt.

   The FSv2 for Basic IP will support existing IPv4 from [RFC8955], and
   existing IPv6 actions from [RFC8956] and one additional feature for
   action chain ordering (ACO).

   An action chain for FSv2 Extended Community actions is defined as a
   series of Extended Communities which are attached to a set of
   filters.

   The action chain ordering (ACO)action provides a set of flags that
   define a clear action if failure occurs.  One of the issues with FSv1
   is the lack of a clear definition on what happens if multiple actions
   interact.  The existence of the Action chain ordering action enforces
   that the actions will have a deterministic outcome during failures.

   The AC-Failure types are:

5.1.  Summary of FSv2 Extended Community [FSv2-EC] in WG (actual or
      proposed)

   Table 5-1 shows the actions for Extended-Communities FSv2 actions
   from IDR RFCs, IDR WG drafts and drafts proposed to IDR.  The link
   between the short names and the IETF draft names is shown in
   Table 5-2.  Table 5-3 has FSv2 actions proposed for IPv6.

   The FSv2 Extended Communities actions (FSv2-EC actions) would take a
   default ordering based on the numerical order of the action id (act-
   id).  For example, ACO (act-id = 1) would be processed before Traffic
   Actions per interface group (act-id = 3).

   A match on an IP Filters can request a non-IP action.  Table 5-3
   gives a list of Non-IP functions defined for FSv2-EC action.  The
   order of processing the non-IP action is done by the action id (act-
   id).  FSv2 rules can link non-IP actions can be to IP filters.  For
   example, the SFC filters for IP link an SFC classifier action (name:
   TISFC, Action-id = 31).

   Table 5-4 contains FSv2 actions for IPv6.  The size of the IPv6
   fields require a unique space for some redirect actions in Extended
   Communities.  (Editor's note: IPv6 Extended Community actions do not
   have to be unique in the TLV formats in the Community Attribute.)

5.2.  Actions proposed for FSv2 Community Path Attribute

   The FSv2 Community Path Attribute could inherits the FSv2 Extended
   Community actions (FSv2-EC) with the same action identifiers (act-id)
   numbering.  For each of the actions, a new form of the FSv2-EC would
   need to be defined.  The next section is set-aside for definition of
   the FSv1 based attributes standardized in [RFC8955] and [RFC8956]>,
   and deployed FSv1 actions.  New FSv2-EC must define both an Extended
   Community form and a Community Path Attribute form.

5.2.1.  FSv2 Community Path Attribute for FSv1 actions

   The following FSv2 Communjity Path Attributes created from FSv1
   actions will be defined in this section:

      action chain order (ACO)(type = 01),

      traffic actions per interface group (TAIS) (type = 02),

      traffic rate limited by bytes (TRB (type = 06),

      traffic actions (TA) (type = 07),

      redirect IPv4 (RDIP) (type = 08),

      mark DSCP valiue (TM) (type = 09),

      traffic rate limit by packet (TRP)(type = 12),

      SFC Classifier (TISFC) (type = 13),

      Redirect to Indirection-ID (type=14),

      Encapsulate in NRP-ID (type = 17)

      Set Group ID (type = 18)

6.  Validation and Ordering of Actions

   The validation of FSv2 NLRI adheres to the combination of rules for
   general BGP FSv1 NLRI found in [RFC8955], [RFC8956], [RFC9117], and
   the specific additions made for SFC NLRI [RFC9015], and L2VPN NLRI
   [I-D.ietf-idr-flowspec-l2vpn].

   The precedence for FSv2 actions are described in this section rather
   than simply referring to the relevant portions of these RFCs.
   Validation only occurs after BGP UPDATE message reception and the
   FSv2 NLRI and the path attributes relating to FSv2 (Extended
   community and Wide Community) have been determined to be well-formed.
   Any MALFORMED FSv2 NRLI is handled as a “TREAT as WITHDRAW”
   [RFC7606].

6.1.  Validation of Flow Specification Actions

   FSv2 actions may specify actions using Extended Communities or the
   path attribute Community with the FSv2 format.  The FSv2 actions in
   Extended Communities and Wide communities can be associated with
   large number of NLRIs.

Internet-Draft          BGP FSv2 More IP Actions               June 2024


   Actions may conflict, duplicate, or complement other actions.  An
   example of conflict is the packet rate limiting by byte and by
   packet.  An example of a duplicate is the request to copy or sample a
   packet under one of the redirect functions (RDIPv4, RDIPv6, RDIID, )
   Each FSv2 actions in this document defines the potential conflicts or
   duplications.  Specifications for new FSv2 actions outside of this
   specification MUST specify interactions or conflicts with any FSv2
   actions (that appear in this specification or subsequent
   specifications).

   Well-formed syntactically correct actions should be linked to a
   filtering rule in the order the actions should be taken.  If one
   action in the ordered list fails, the default procedure is for the
   action process for this rule to stop and flag the error via system
   management.  By explicit configuration, the action processing may
   continue after errors.

   Implementations MAY wish to log the actions taken by FS actions (FSv1
   or FSv2).

6.2.  Ordering of Actions

   The ordering of precedence for these actions in the case are:

   *  Action user-order number zero is defined to have an Action type of
      “Set Action Chain operation” (ACO) that defines the default action
      chain process.

   *  user order (1 to N-1)

   *  Extended Community Actions {starting at N)

   By default, extended community actions are associated with default
   order number 32768 [0x8000] or a specific configured value for the
   FSv2 domain.

   Within the actions defined at the same order, the order is:

      Action ID (lowest to highest)

      If multiple Actions of the same value are define (e.g.
      Redirection to Indirection ID), the action must define the order.

   All Extended Community actions and Path Community attributes should
   be ordered in the same IP space.

6.3.  Summary of FSv2 ordering

   Operators should use user-defined ordering to clearly specify the
   actions desired upon a match.  The FSv2 actions default ordering is
   specified to provide deterministic order for actions which have the
   same user-defined order and same type.

   FS Action                          Value Order
   (lowest value to highest)          (lowest to highest)
   ================================   ==============================
   0x01: ACO: Action chain operation  Failure flag

7.  Error handling

   The following two error handling rules must be followed by all BGP
   speakers which support FSv2:

   *  FSv2 NLRI having TLVs which do not have the correct lengths or
      syntax must be considered MALFORMED.






Hares                    Expires 5 December 2024               [Page 22]

Internet-Draft          BGP FSv2 More IP Actions               June 2024


   *  FSv2 NLRIs having TLVs which do not follow the above ordering
      rules described in section 4.1 MUST be considered as malformed by
      a BGP FSv2 propagator.

   The above two rules prevent any ambiguity that arises from the
   multiple copies of the same NLRI from multiple BGP FSv2 propagators.

   A BGP implementation SHOULD treat such malformed NLRIs as ‘Treat-as-
   withdraw’ [RFC7606]

   An implementation for a BGP speaker supporting both FSv1 and FSv2
   MUST support the error handling for both FSv1 and FSv2.

8.  Example for Ordering of the Actions

8.1.  Example of Action Chain Operation (ACO)

   The “Action Chain Operation” (ACO) changes the way the actions after
   the current action in an action chain are handled after a failure.
   If no action chain operations are set, then the default action of
   “stop upon failure” (value 0x00) will be used for the chain.

8.1.1.  Example 1 - Default ACO

   Use Case 1: Rate limit to 600 packets per second

   Description: The provider will support 600 packets per second All
   Packets sampled for reporting purposes and packet streams over 600
   packets per second will be dropped.

   Suppose BGP Peer A has a

   *  a Wide Community action with user-defined order 10 with Traffic
      Sampling

   *  a Wide Community action with user-defined order 11 from AS 2020
      that limits packet-based rate limit of 600 packets per second.

   *  an Extended Community from AS 2020 that does limits packet-based
      rate limit of 50 packets per second.

   The FSv2 data base would store the following action chain:

   *  at user-defined action order 10

      -  A user action of type 7 (traffic action) with values of
         Sampling and logging.




Hares                    Expires 5 December 2024               [Page 23]

Internet-Draft          BGP FSv2 More IP Actions               June 2024


   *  at user-defined action order 11

      -  a user action type of 12 (packet-based rate limit) with values
         of AS 2020 and float value for 600 packets per second (pps)

   *  at user-defined action order 32768 (0x8000) with type 12 and
      values of A user action of type 12 with values of AS 2020 and
      float value of 50 packets/second.

   Normal action:

      The match on the traffic would cause a sample of the traffic
      (probably with packet rate saved in logging) followed by a rate
      limit to 600 pps.  The Extended community action would further
      limit the rate to 50 packets per second.

   When does the action chain stop?

      The default process for the action chain is to stop on failure.
      If there is no failure, then all three actions would occur.  This
      is probably not what the user wants.

      If there is failure at action 10 (sample and log), then there
      would be no rate limiting per packet (actions 11 and action
      32768).

      If there is failure at action 11 (rate limit to packet 600), then
      there would be no rate limiting per packet (action 32768).

   The different options for Action chain ordering (ACO) have been
   worked on with NETCONF/RESTCONF configuration and actions.

8.1.2.  Example 2: Redirect traffic over limit to processing via SFC

   Use case 2: Redirect traffic over limit to processing via SFC.

   Description: The normal function is for traffic over the limit to be
   forwarded for offline processing and reporting to a customer.

   Suppose we have the following 4 actions defined for a match:

   *  Sent Redirect to indirection ID (0x01) with user-defined match 2
      attached in wide community,

   *  Traffic rate limit by bytes (0x07) with user-defined match 1
      attached in wide community,

   *  Traffic sample (0x07) sent in extended community, and

Internet-Draft          BGP FSv2 More IP Actions               June 2024


   *  SF classifier Info (0x0E) sent in extended community.

   These 4 filters rate limit a potential DDoS attack by: a) redirect
   the packet to indirection ID (for slower speed processing), sample to
   local hardware, and forward the attack traffic via a SFC to a data
   collection box.

   The FSv2 action list for the match would look like this

      Action 0: Operation of action chain (0x01) (stop upon failure)

      Action 1: Traffic Rate limit by byte (0x07)

      Action 2: Redirect to Redirection ID (0x0F)

      Action 32768 (0x8000) Traffic Action (0x07) Sample

      Action 32768 (0x8000) SFC Classifier: (0xE)

   If the redirect to a redirection ID fails, then Traffic Sample and
   sending the data to an SFC classifier for forwarding via SFC will not
   happen.  The traffic is limited, but not redirect away from the
   network and a sample sent to DDOS processing via a SFC classifier.

   Suppose the following 5 actions were defined for a FSV2 filter:

   *  Set Action Chain Operation (ACO) (0x01) to continue on failure
      (ox01) at user-order 2 attached in wide community,

   *  redirect to indirection ID (0x0F) at user-order 2 attached in wide
      community,

   *  traffic rate limit by bytes (0x07)with user-order 1 attached in
      wide community,

   *  Traffic sample (0x07) attached via extended community, and

   *  SFC classifier Info (0x0E) attached in extended community.

   The FSv2 action list for the match would look like this:

      Action 00: Operation of action chain (0x01) (stop upon failure)

      Action 01:Traffic Rate limit by byte (0x07)

      Action 02:Set Action Chain Operation (ACO) (0x01) (continue on
      failure)

Internet-Draft          BGP FSv2 More IP Actions               June 2024


      Action 02: Redirect to Redirection ID (0F)

      Action 32768 (0x8000): Traffic Action (0x07) Sample

      Action 32768 (0x8000): SFC classifier (0x0E) forward via SFC [to
      DDoS classifier]

   If the redirect to a redirection ID fails, the action chain will
   continue on to sample the data and enact SFC classifier actions.

10.  Security Considerations

   The use of ROA improves on [RFC8955] by checking to see of the route
   origination.  This check can improve the validation sequence for a
   multiple-AS environment.

   >The use of BGPSEC [RFC8205] to secure the packet can increase
   security of BGP flow specification information sent in the packet.

   The use of the reduced validation within an AS [RFC9117] can provide
   adequate validation for distribution of flow specification within a
   single autonomous system for prevention of DDoS.

   Distribution of flow filters may provide insight into traffic being
   sent within an AS, but this information should be composite
   information that does not reveal the traffic patterns of individuals.
