Introduction This document describes the BGP encodings and procedures for exchanging the information elements required by applying traffic performance monitoring in MPLS/BGP VPN, as specified in[I-D.dong-l3vpn-pm-framework]. Current BGP Labeled VPN Route exchange procedure combines VRF VPN- membership Auto-Discovery and L3VPN Label allocation together. While applying PM for L3VPN needs BGP extended to support VPN membership Auto-Discovery and L3VPN Label allocation in a VRF-to-VRF manner. To achieve this, a new Sub address family, called VRF-to-VRF Tunnel(VT) Subsequent Address Family, is introduced. This document defines two kinds of routes for VT NLRI: Fan, et al. Expires January 4, 2018 [Page 2] Internet-Draft BGP Extension For L3VPN PM July 2017 VPN-Membership A-D Route: for the use of doing VRF VPN membership auto-discovery in VRF-to-VRF manner VT Labeled Route: for the use of allocating VT Label from Local VRF to Remote VRF to setup VRF-to-VRF Tunnel between the pair of VRFs. 2. Terminologies This document uses the terminologies defined in [RFC4026]: o ERT: Export Route Target o IRT: Import Route Target o PE: Provider Edge o RD: Route Distinguisher o VRF: Virtual Routing and Forwarding o VT: VRF-to-VRF Tunnel 3. The New VT Sub Address Family The BGP Multiprotocol Extensions [RFC4760] allow BGP to carry routes from multiple "address families". In this document a new Subsequent Address Family is introduced, called "VT Sub Address Family". 3.1. VT Sub Address Family VT Address Family uses AFI 1/2 to present IPv4/IPv6 Address Family and a specific VT_SAFI(TBD) to present VT Subsequent Address Family. VT MP_REACH_NLRI and MP_UNREACH_NLRI are formatted as described in [RFC4760] Fan, et al. Expires January 4, 2018 [Page 3] Internet-Draft BGP Extension For L3VPN PM July 2017 +---------------------------------------------------+ | Address Family Identifier (2 octets): 1/2 | +---------------------------------------------------+ | Subsequent AFI (1 octet): VT_SAFI (TBD) | +---------------------------------------------------+ | Length of Next Hop (1 octet): 4 | +---------------------------------------------------+ | Next Hop: IPv4 Address | +---------------------------------------------------+ | Reserved (1 octet) | +---------------------------------------------------+ | BGP VT NLRI (Variable) | +---------------------------------------------------+ Figure 1 VT MP_REACH_NLRI +---------------------------------------------------+ | Address Family Identifier (2 octets): 1/2 | +---------------------------------------------------+ | Subsequent AFI (1 octet): VT_SAFI (TBD) | +---------------------------------------------------+ | BGP VT NLRI (Variable) | +---------------------------------------------------+ Figure 2 VT MP_UNREACH_NLRI 3.2. VT NLRI BGP VT NLRI has format as depicted in following diagram: +---------------------------------------------------+ | Route Type (1 octet) | +---------------------------------------------------+ | Length (1 octet) | +---------------------------------------------------+ | Route Type Specific (Variable) | +---------------------------------------------------+ Figure 3 IPv4 VT-Family NLRI Route Type indicates type of route under VT SAFI. Type 1: VT VPN membership A-D Route Type 2: VT Labeled Route Length defines Route Type specific routes length in octets Route Type specific route information field, encoded according to Route Type definition. Fan, et al. Expires January 4, 2018 [Page 4] Internet-Draft BGP Extension For L3VPN PM July 2017 3.2.1. VT VPN-membership A-D Route VT VPN membership A-D Route, concisely named as VT A-D Route hereafter, is utilized for VRF-to-VRF VPN Membership Auto-Discovery between PEs. Its format is defined as following diagram: +--------------------------------------------------+ | RD (8 octets) | +--------------------------------------------------+ | Local Router's IP Address | +--------------------------------------------------+ Figure 4 VT VPN Membership A-D Route a) RD: RD of one VRF on advertising PE, encoded as described in [RFC4364]. b) Local Router's IP Address: Advertising PE's IPv4/IPv6 address is defined as Prefix of VT A-D Route. 3.2.2. VT Labeled Route VT Labeled Route is utilized for VRF-To-VRF Label(s) allocation and advertisement, its format is defined as following diagram. +---------------------------------------------------+ | Local RD (8 octets) | +---------------------------------------------------+ | Local Router's IP Address | +---------------------------------------------------+ | Remote VRF's RD (8 octets) | +---------------------------------------------------+ | Remote Router's IP Address | +---------------------------------------------------+ | Label (3 octets) | +---------------------------------------------------+ Figure 5 VT Labeled Route Format a) Local RD: Route Distinguisher value of one VRF on advertising PE, encoded as described in [RFC4364]. b) Local Router's IP Address: Advertising PE's IPv4/IPv6 address. c) Remote VRF's RD: Route Distinguisher value of Remote VRF encoded as described in [RFC4364]. d) Remote Router's IP Address: Remote PE's IPv4/IPv6 address. Fan, et al. Expires January 4, 2018 [Page 5] Internet-Draft BGP Extension For L3VPN PM July 2017 e) Label: The Label field carries one or more labels that corresponds to the stack of labels [RFC3032]. Each label is encoded as 3 octets, where the high-order 20 bits contain the label value, and the low- order bit contains "Bottom of Stack" as defined in [RFC3032]. which indicates a pair of VRFs is defined as the Prefix of VT Labeled Route. 4. Operations 4.1. VRF-to-VRF VPN Membership Auto Discovery For every PE, it needs to process all its VRF configured and generate one VT A-D Route for each VRF respectively. RD field MUST be filled with the VRF's RD value. Local Router's IP Address field MUST filled with the Advertising Router's IP address. The VT A-D Route MUST carry all IRTs of the VRF in BGP Update's Ext- Community Path Attribute, route importing request of one VRF is described by its corresponding VT A-D route. In contrast VPN Labeled Routes carry ERTs in BGP Update's Ext-Community Path Attribute. If a VRF is created, then its corresponding VT A-D Route MUST be generated and advertised. If the VRF whose VT A-D Route has been advertised is deleted, then the VT A-D Route Withdrawal message MUST be generated and advertised. If IRT of the VRF whose VT A-D Route has been advertised is changed, then a VT A-D Route Update with same Prefix and latest IRTs MUST be advertised. When receiving PE receives VT A-D Route, VPN relationship matching MUST be checked between IRTs in VT A-D Route and ERTs of each Local VRF, this process is called VRF-to-VRF VPN membership Auto Discovery. Either finding one VRF-to-VRF VPN membership newly formed or released, receiving PE MUST proceed to the VT Labeled Route processing described in next section. Fan, et al. Expires January 4, 2018 [Page 6] Internet-Draft BGP Extension For L3VPN PM July 2017 4.2. VRF-to-VRF Labeled Route Exchange 4.2.1. VT Labeled Route Update If Receiving PE finds one new VRF-to-VRF VPN membership formed, it MUST allocate one VT MPLS Label for the VRF-to-VRF VPN membership and the label is advertised to the Remote VRF by VT Labeled Route. Local RD MUST filled with RD value of the Local VRF which is found belong to the same VPN with Remote VRF. Local Router's IP Address Must filled with the advertising PE's IPv4/ IPv6 address. Remote VRF's RD MUST filled with RD value of the Remote VRF which belongs to a same VPN with the Local VRF. Remote Router's IP Address: Remote PE's IPv4/IPv6 address. Label: MUST be filled with one or more MPLS Labels allocated by advertising PE for the pair of VRFs. Only both sides of a pair of VRFs learnt each other's VT Labeled Route advertisement, the VRF-to-VRF tunnel between the pair of VRFs is considered setup. 4.2.2. VT Labeled Route Withdrawal If receiving PE finds one existing VRF-to-VRF VPN membership released then it MUST send out the VT Labeled Route Withdrawal message, then release the MPLS Label(s) allocated. Local RD MUST be filled with RD value of the Local VRF. Local Router's IP Address MUST be filled with the advertising PE's IPv4/IPv6 address. Remote VRF's RD MUST be filled with RD value of the Remote VRF. Remote Router's IP Address: MUST be filled with Remote PE's IPv4/IPv6 address. Label: MUST be filled with ZERO or the MPLS Labels value allocated for the VT Labeled Route. Fan, et al. Expires January 4, 2018 [Page 7] Internet-Draft BGP Extension For L3VPN PM July 2017 4.3. VRF-to-VRF Labeled Route Application To achieve the goal of converting normal L3VPN MP2P forwarding model into P2P model which is required in [I-D.zheng-l3vpn-pm-analysis], after VPNv4 routes received, Receiving PE MUST apply VT Labels when downloading VPNv4 Route into Data Plan which is in detail described in [I-D.dong-l3vpn-pm-framework]. Between a pair of PEs both support VT capability, It COULD be an implementation option that VPNv4 Routes from a remote VRF WOULD NOT be downloaded into a Local VRF's Forwarding Plan until a VT Labeled route received from same Remote VRF for the Local VRF. If VT Labeled Route withdrawal message is received, receiving PE MUST delete VT Labels from Forwarding Plane and VPNv4 Routes MUST be kept on Forwarding Plane with original VPNv4 Label as inner Label. 5. VT Route Selection Consideration When receiving and processing VT A-D Route, the BGP best route selection procedure described in [RFC4271] MUST be followed. When receiving and processing VT Labeled Route, the BGP best route selection procedure described in [RFC4271] COULD be followed. Especially VT Labeled Route MUST be advertised ONLY to the BGP peer from which the best VT A-D route is received, the VT A-D route contains the Remote VRF's RD and Remote PE's IP address. If a Peer receives VT A-D or VT Labeled Route originated from itself, the route MUST be ignored. 6. Deployment Consideration This document currently supports deploying VT SAFI in following two manners: a) Inner-AS L3VPN with Full-mesh IBGP sessions or Router Reflectors. b)Inter-AS L3VPN with Option A(VRF-to-VRF)[RFC4364]. How to support Inter-AS L3VPN Option B(MP-EBGP) and Option-C [RFC4364] will be described in this draft's future version. Fan, et al. Expires January 4, 2018 [Page 8] Internet-Draft BGP Extension For L3VPN PM July 2017 7. IANA Considerations A new SAFI value to present VT Subsequent Address Family is required and to be allocated by IANA. 8. Security Considerations This extension to BGP does not change the underlying security issues. 9. Acknowledgements TBD. 10. References 10.1.
