                draft-chen-idr-bgp-ls-transport-slice-00

Abstract

   [I-D.peng-teas-network-slicing]defines a unified TN-slice identifier,
   AII(administrative instance identifier), to indicate the topology,
   computing, storage resources of the dedicated virtual network for
   both intra-domain and inter-domain network slicing scenarios.  This
   draft defines extensions to BGP-LS protocol in order to advertise the
   information of the transport slice.

1.  Introduction

   For a packet network, network slicing requires the underlying network
   to support partitioning of the network resources to provide the
   client with dedicated (private) networking, computing, and storage
   resources drawn from a shared pool.
   [I-D.peng-teas-network-slicing]defines a unified TN-slice identifier,
   AII(administrative instance identifier), to indicate the topology,
   computing, storage resources of the dedicated virtual network for
   both intra-domain and inter-domain network slicing scenarios, and how
   to compute SR-BE or SR-TE path according to TN-slice Identifier
   combined with other criteria.

   [I-D.zch-lsr-isis-network-slicing]defines the IS-IS extensions
   required to distribute TN-slice Identifier(that is AII) information
   in an AS.

   In order to satisfy the need for applications that require
   topological visibility across one area or Autonomous System (AS).
   This document specifies extensions to the BGP Link-state address-
   family in order to advertise TN-slice specific.  An external
   component (e.g., a controller) then can collect TN-slice information
   in the "northbound" direction.

2.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

3.  BGP-LS Extensions for transport slice

   The following transport slice information TLV is defined: BGP-
   LS[[RFC7752]]defines the link-state NLRI that can be a Node NLRI, a
   Link NLRI or a Prefix NLRI.  BGP-LS[[RFC7752]]defines the TLVs that
   map link-state information to BGP link-state NLRI within the BGP-LS
   Attribute.  This document adds additional BGP-LS Attribute TLVs in
   order to encode TN-slice information.  It does not introduce any
   changes to the encoding of the BGP-LS NLRIs.

3.1.  Node Attributes TLV

   The TN-slice identifier Participation TLV is used in order to
   advertise which TN-slice a router wants to take part in.  The TN-
   slice identifier Participation sub-TLV is a new TLV of the optional
   BGP-LS Attribute that is associated with the node NLRI.  This
   information is derived from TN-slice identifier Participation sub-TLV
   of IS-IS (section 3 of [I-D.zch-lsr-isis-network-slicing].

   The TN-slice identifier Participation TLV has the following format:

            0                   1                   2                   3

                | TBD5  |   LAN-Adj-SID for TN-slice Identifier TLV   |
                +-------+---------------------------------------------+

                    Table 1:The new Link Attribute TLVs

   These TLVs should only be added to the BGP-LS Attribute associated
   with the Link NLRI.

3.2.1.  TN-slice Identifier list sub-TLV

   TN-slice Identifier can be used to color links to partition underlay
   resource.  This section is derived from TN-slice Identifier list sub-
   TLV of IS-IS (section 4 of [I-D.zch-lsr-isis-network-slicing].)

   The TN-slice Identifier list TLV has the following format:

   Number:Number of virtual networks.

   AII for VN: allocate different TN-slice identifier (AII) for
   different virtual networks.  AII is used to distinguish different
   virtual network resources.

3.2.2.  L2 Bundle Member TN-Slice Identifier TLV

   This TLV is used to advertise TN-slice Identifier for L2 Bundle
   Member associated with a parent L3 adjacency which is Point-to-Point.
   This information is derived from TN-slice Identifier for L2 Bundle
   Member sub-TLV of IS-IS (section 5 of
   [I-D.zch-lsr-isis-network-slicing].).The following format is defined
   for this sub-TLV:

   Type: TBD3.

   virtual networks, Adjacency-SID need to be allocated per TN-slice
   Identifier.  This information is derived from TN-slice Identifier for
   Adjacency-SID for TN-slice Identifier sub-TLV of IS-IS (section 7 of
   [I-D.zch-lsr-isis-network-slicing] ).

3.2.4.  LAN-Adj-SID for TN-slice Identifier TLV

   In LAN subnetworks,[
   [I-D.ietf-isis-segment-routing-extensions]]defines the LAN-Adj-SID
   sub-TLV for a router to advertise the Adj-SID of each of its
   neighbors.

   LAN-Adj-SID for TN-slice Identifier TLV is used to distinguish
   forwarding behavior of different virtual networks, Adjacency-SID need
   to be allocated per TN-slice Identifier.  This information is derived
   from the LAN-Adj-SID for TN-slice Identifier sub-TLV of IS-IS
   (section 8 of I-D.  [I-D.zch-lsr-isis-network-slicing] ).

3.3.  Prefix Attribute TLVs

   Prefix-SID for TN-slice Identifier TLV should only be added to the
   BGP-LS Attribute associated with the Prefix NLRI describing the
   prefix of the IGP node.  This TLV is used to distinguish forwarding
   behavior of different virtual networks.This information is derived
   from TN-slice identifier Participation sub-TLV of IS-IS (section 6 of
   [I-D.zch-lsr-isis-network-slicing]).

   The Prefix-SID for TN-slice Identifier TLV has the following format:

   Algorithm: Accoridng to section "3.2.  SR-Algorithm Sub-TLV" of
   >[I-D.ietf-isis-segment-routing-extensions], two values can be set in
   this field.

   o  0: Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm based on link metric.

   o  1: Strict Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm based on link
      metric.

   Note that[I-D.ietf-lsr-flex-algo]also allows user to define other
   algorithm values, i.e., FA-id within [128, 255], for the purpose of
   constraint based path computation.However, an FA-id algorithm value
   MUST not be set in this field, the reason is that FA-id has not
   semantic local within AII.

   AII: Identifies the TN-slice (AII) information corresponding to the
   Prefix-SID.

4.  IANA Considerations

   This document does not define any new protocol or any extension to an
   existing protocol.
