BGP-LS Extensions for Scalable Segment Routing based Enhanced VPN
draft-dong-idr-bgpls-sr-enhanced-vpn-04
Abstract
Enhanced VPN (VPN+) aims to provide enhanced VPN services to support
some applications' needs of enhanced isolation and stringent
performance requirements. VPN+ requires integration between the
overlay VPN connectivity and the resources and characteristics
provided by the underlay network. A Virtual Transport Network (VTN)
is a virtual underlay network which can be used to support one or a
group of VPN+ services. In the context of network slicing, a VTN
could be instantiated as a network resource partition (NRP).
This document specifies the BGP-LS mechanisms with necessary
extensions to advertise the information of scalable Segment Routing
(SR) based NRPs to a centralized network controller. Each NRP can
have a customized topology and a set of network resources allocated
from the physical network. Multiple NRPs may shared the same
topology, and multiple NRPs may share the same set of network
resources on specific network segments. This allows flexible
combination of network topology and network resource attributes to
build a large number of NRPs with a relatively small number of
logical topologies. The proposed mechanism is applicable to both
segment routing with MPLS data plane (SR-MPLS) and segment routing
with IPv6 data plane (SRv6).

1. Introduction
Enhanced VPN (VPN+) is an enhancement to VPN services to support the
needs of new applications, particularly the applications that are
associated with 5G services. These applications require enhanced
isolation and have more stringent performance requirements than that
can be provided with traditional overlay VPNs. These properties
require integration between the underlay and the overlay networks.
[I-D.ietf-teas-enhanced-vpn] specifies the framework of enhanced VPN
and describes the candidate component technologies in different
network planes and layers. An enhanced VPN can be used for 5G
network slicing, and will also be of use in more generic scenarios.
To meet the requirement of enhanced VPN services, a number of virtual
underlay networks need to be created, each with a subset of the
underlay network topology and a set of network resources allocated to
meet the requirement of a specific VPN+ service or a group of VPN+
services. Such a virtual underlay network is called Virtual
Transport Network (VTN) in [I-D.ietf-teas-enhanced-vpn].
[I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices] introduces the concept Network
Resource Partition (NRP) as a set of network resources that are
available to carry traffic and meet the SLOs and SLEs. In order to
allocate network resources to an NRP, the NRP is associated with a
network topology to define the set of links and nodes. Thus VTN and
NRP are similar concepts, and NRP can be seen as an instantiation of
VTN in the context of network slicing. For clarity, the rest of this
document uses NRP in the description of the proposed mechanisms and
protocol extensions.

Internet-Draft BGP-LS for Scalable SR VPN+ March 2022
[I-D.ietf-spring-resource-aware-segments] introduces resource-
awareness to Segment Routing (SR) [RFC8402] by associating existing
type of SIDs with network resource attributes (e.g. bandwidth,
processing or storage resources). These resource-aware SIDs retain
their original functionality, with the additional semantics of
identifying the set of network resources available for the packet
processing action. [I-D.ietf-spring-sr-for-enhanced-vpn] describes
the use of resource-aware segments to build SR based NRPs. To allow
the network controller and network nodes to perform NRP-specific
explicit path computation and/or shortest path computation, the group
of resource-aware SIDs allocated by network nodes to each NRP and the
associated topology and resource attributes need to be distributed in
the control plane.
When an NRP spans multiple IGP areas or multiple Autonomous Systems
(ASes), BGP-LS is needed to advertise the NRP information in each IGP
area or AS to the network controller, so that the controller could
use the collected information to build the view of inter-area or
inter-AS SR NRPs.
This document describes BGP-LS [RFC7752] based mechanism with
necessary extensions to advertise the topology and resource attribute
of inter-area and inter-domain SR based NRPs. Each NRP can have a
customized topology and a set of network resources allocated.
Multiple NRPs may shared the same topology, and some of the NRPs may
share the same set of network resources on specific network segments.
This allows flexible combination of network topology and network
resource attributes to build a large number of NRPs with a relatively
small number of logical topologies. The definition of NRP is
advertised as a node attribute using BGP-LS. The associated network
topology and resources attributes of a NRP are advertised as link
attributes using BGP-LS.
2. Advertisement of NRP Definition
According to [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices], an NRP consists of
a set of dedicated or shared network resources, and is associated
with a customized network topology. Thus a NRP can be defined as the
combination of a set of network attributes, which include the
topology attribute and other attributes, such as the associated
network resources.
The Network Resource Partition Definition (NRPD) TLV is a new TLV of
the optional BGP-LS Attribute which is associated with the node NLRI.
The format of NRPD TLV is as follows:

identifier of the IGP topology.

applies to this virtual transport network. It can be either a
normal algorithm in [RFC8402] or a Flex-Algorithm
[I-D.ietf-lsr-flex-algo].

future use. They SHOULD be set to zero on transmission and MUST

of an NRP. Currently no sub-TLV is defined in this document.
3. Advertisement of NRP Topology Attribute
[I-D.dong-lsr-sr-enhanced-vpn] describes the IGP mechanisms to
distribute the topology attributes of SR based NRPs. This section
describes the BGP-LS mechanism to distribute both the intra-domain
and inter-domain topology attributes of SR based NRPs.
Dong, et al. Expires 5 September 2022 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS for Scalable SR VPN+ March 2022
3.1. Intra-domain Topology Advertisement
The intra-domain topology attribute of an NRP can be determined by
the MT-ID and/or the algorithm ID included in the NRP definition. In
practice, it could be described using two optional approaches.
The first approach is to use Multi-Topology Routing (MTR) [RFC4915]
[RFC5120] with the segment routing extensions to advertise the
topology associated with the SR based NRPs. Different algorithms MAY
be used to further specify the computation algorithm or the metric
type used for path computation within the topology. Multiple NRPs
can be associated with the same <topology, algorithm> tupple, and the
IGP computation with the <topology, algorithm> tuple can be shared by
these NRPs.
The second approach is to use Flex-Algo [I-D.ietf-lsr-flex-algo] to
describe the topological constraints of SR based NRPs on a network
topology (e.g. the default topology). Multiple NRPs can be
associated with the same Flex-Algo, and the IGP computation result
with this Flex-Algo can be shared.
This section describes the two optional approaches to advertise the
intra-domain topology of an NRP using BGP-LS.
3.1.1. MTR based Topology Advertisement
In section 4.2.2.1 of [I-D.ietf-idr-rfc7752bis], Multi-Topology
Identifier (MT-ID) TLV is defined, which can contain one or more IS-
IS or OSPF Multi-Topology IDs. The MT-ID TLV MAY be present in a
Link Descriptor, a Prefix Descriptor, or the BGP-LS Attribute of a
Node NLRI.
[RFC9085] defines the BGP-LS extensions to carry the segment routing
information using TLVs of BGP-LS Attribute. When MTR is used with
SR-MPLS data plane, topology-specific prefix-SIDs and topology-
specific Adj-SIDs can be carried in the BGP-LS Attribute associated
with the prefix NLRI and link NLRI respectively, the MT-ID TLV is
carried in the prefix descriptor or link descriptor to identify the
corresponding topology of the SIDs.
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext] defines the BGP-LS extensions to
advertise SRv6 segments along with their functions and attributes.
When MTR is used with SRv6 data plane, the SRv6 Locator TLV is
carried in the BGP-LS Attribute associated with the prefix-NLRI, the
MT-ID TLV can be carried in the prefix descriptor to identify the
corresponding topology of the SRv6 Locator. The SRv6 End.X SIDs are
carried in the BGP-LS Attribute associated with the link NLRI, the
MT-ID TLV can be carried in the link descriptor to identify the
Dong, et al. Expires 5 September 2022 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS for Scalable SR VPN+ March 2022
corresponding topology of the End.X SIDs. The SRv6 SID NLRI is
defined to advertise other types of SRv6 SIDs, in which the SRv6 SID
Descriptors can include the MT-ID TLV so as to advertise topology-
specific SRv6 SIDs.
[I-D.ietf-idr-rfc7752bis] also defines the rules of the usage of MT-
ID TLV:
"In a Link or Prefix Descriptor, only a single MT-ID TLV containing
the MT-ID of the topology where the link or the prefix is reachable
is allowed. In case one wants to advertise multiple topologies for a
given Link Descriptor or Prefix Descriptor, multiple NLRIs MUST be
generated where each NLRI contains a single unique MT-ID."
Editor's note: the above rules indicates that only one MT-ID is
allowed to be carried the Link or Prefix descriptors. When a link or
prefix needs to be advertised in multiple topologies, multiple NLRIs
needs to be generated to report all the topologies the link or prefix
participates in, together with the topology-specific segment routing
information and link attributes. This may increase the number of BGP
Updates needed for advertising MT-specific topology attributes, and
may introduce additional processing burden to both the sending BGP
speaker and the receiving network controller. When the number of
topologies in a network is not a small number, some optimization may
be needed for the reporting of multi-topology information and the
associated segment routing information in BGP-LS. Based on the WG's
opinion, this will be elaborated in a future version.
3.1.2. Flex-Algo based Topology Advertisement
The Flex-Algo definition [I-D.ietf-lsr-flex-algo] can be used to
describe the calculation-type, the metric-type and the topological
constraints for path computation on a network topology. As specified
in [I-D.dong-lsr-sr-enhanced-vpn], the topology of a NRP can be
determined by applying Flex-Algo constraints on a network topology.
BGP-LS extensions for Flex-Algo [I-D.ietf-idr-bgp-ls-flex-algo]
provide the mechanisms to advertise the Flex-Algo definition
information. BGP-LS extensions for SR-MPLS [RFC9085] and SRv6
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext] provide the mechanism to advertise the
algorithm-specific segment routing information.
Dong, et al. Expires 5 September 2022 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS for Scalable SR VPN+ March 2022
In [RFC9085], algorithm-specific prefix-SIDs can be advertised in
BGP-LS attribute associated with Prefix NLRI. In
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext], algorithm-specific SRv6 Locators can
be advertised in BGP-LS Attribute associated with the corresponding
Prefix NLRI, and algorithm-specific End.X SID can be advertised in
BGP-LS Attribute associated with the corresponding Link NLRI. Other
types of SRv6 SIDs can also be algorithm-specific and are advertised
using the SRv6 SID NLRI.
3.2. Inter-Domain Topology Advertisement
In some network scenarios, an NRP which spans multiple areas or ASes
needs to be created. The multi-domain NRP could have different
inter-domain connectivity, and may be associated with different set
of network resources in each domain and also on the inter-domain
links. In order to build the multi-domain NRPs using segment
routing, it is necessary to advertise the topology and resource
attribute of NRP on the inter-domain links and the associated BGP
Peering SIDs.
[RFC9086] and [I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext] defines the BGP-LS
extensions for advertisement of BGP topology information between ASes
and the associated BGP Peering Segment Identifiers. Such information
could be used by a network controller for the computation and
instantiation of inter-AS traffic engineering SR paths.
Depending on the network scenarios and the requirement of inter-
domain NRPs, different mechanisms can be used to specify the inter-
domain connections of NRPs.
* One EBGP session between two ASes can be established over multiple
underlying links. In this case, different underlying links can be
used for different inter-domain NRPs which requires link isolation
between each other. In another similar case, the EBGP session is
established over a single link, while the network resource (e.g.
bandwidth) on this link can be partitioned into different pieces,
each of which can be considered as a virtual member link. In both
cases, different BGP Peer-Adj-SIDs SHOULD be allocated to each
underlying physical or virtual member link, and ASBRs SHOULD
advertise the NRP identifier associated with each BGP Peer-Adj-
SID.
Dong, et al. Expires 5 September 2022 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS for Scalable SR VPN+ March 2022
* For inter-domain connection between two ASes, multiple EBGP
sessions can be established between different set of peering
ASBRs. It is possible that some of these BGP sessions are used
for one inter-domain NRP, while some other BGP sessions are used
for another inter-domain NRP. In this case, different BGP peer-
node-SIDs are allocated to each BGP session, and ASBRs SHOULD
advertise the NRP identifier associated with each BGP Peer-node-
SIDs.
* At the AS-level topology, different inter-domain NRPs may have
different inter-domain connectivity. Different BGP Peer-Set-SIDs
can be allocated to represent the groups of BGP peers which can be
used for load-balancing in each inter-domain NRP.
In network scenarios where the MT-ID or Flex-Algo is used
consistently in multiple areas or ASes covered by a NRP. the
approaches to advertise topology-specific BGP peering SIDs are
described as below:
* Using MT-based mechanism, the topology-specific BGP peering SIDs
can be advertised with the MT-ID associated with the NRP carried
in the corresponding link NLRI. This can be supported with the
existing mechanisms defined in [RFC7752][RFC9086] and
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext].
* Using Flex-Algo based mechanism, the topology-specific BGP peering
SIDs can be advertised together with the Admin Group (color) of
the corresponding Flex-Algo in the BGP-LS attribute.
In network scenarios where consistent usage of MT-ID or Flex-Algo
among multiple ASes can not be expected, then the global-significant
NRP-ID can be used to define the AS level topologies. Within each
domain, the MT or Flex-Algo based mechanism could still be used for
topology advertisement.
3.2.1. NRP IDs TLV
A new NRP IDs TLV is defined to describe the identifiers of one or
more NRPs an intra-domain or inter-domain link belongs to. It can be
carried in BGP-LS attribute which is associated with a Link NLRI, or
it could be carried as a sub-TLV in the L2 Bundle Member Attribute
TLV.
The format of NRP IDs TLV is as below:

Where:

variable dependent on the number of NRP IDs included.
* Flags: 16 bit flags. All the bits are reserved, which MUST be set
to 0 on transmission and SHOULD be ignored on receipt.
* Reserved: this field is reserved for future use. MUST be set to 0
on transmission and SHOULD be ignored on receipt.
* NRP IDs: One or more 32-bit identifiers to specify the NRPs this
link belongs to.
4. Advertisement of NRP Resource Attribute
[I-D.dong-lsr-sr-enhanced-vpn] specifies the optional mechanism to
advertise the resource information associated with each NRP. One
approach is to use the L2 bundle mechanism [RFC8668] to advertise the
set of link resources allocated to an NRP as a L2 physical or virtual
member link. Another approach is to advertise the set of network
resources as per NRP link TE attributes. This section defines the
corresponding BGP-LS extensions for both approaches.
Two new TLVs are defined to carry the NRP ID and the link attribute
flags of either a Layer-3 link or the L2 bundle member links. The
NRP ID TLV is defined in section 3.2.1 of this document, and a new
Link Attribute Flags TLV is defined in this section. The TE
attributes of each Layer 3 link or the L2 bundle member link, such as
the bandwidth and the SR SIDs, can be advertised using the mechanism
as defined in [RFC9085][RFC9086] and [I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext].
Dong, et al. Expires 5 September 2022 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS for Scalable SR VPN+ March 2022
4.1. Option 1: L2 Bundle based Approach
On an Layer-3 interface, each NRP can be allocated with a subset of
link resources (e.g. bandwidth). A subset of link resources may be
dedicated to an NRP, or may be shared by a group of NRPs. Each
subset of link resource can be instantiated as a virtual layer-2
member link under the Layer-3 interface, and the Layer-3 interface is
considered as a virtual Layer-2 bundle. The Layer-3 interface may
also be a physical Layer 2 link bundle, in this case a subset of link
resources allocated to an NRP may be provided by one of the physical
Layer-2 member links.
The NRP ID TLV defined in section 3.2.1 of this document is used to
carry the NRP IDs associated with the L2 bundle member links. The TE
attributes of the L2 bundle member links, such as the maximum link
bandwidth, and the SR SIDs, can be advertised using the mechanism as
defined in [RFC9085][RFC9086] and [I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext].
A new Link attribute Flags TLV is defined to specify the
characteristics of a link. It can be carried in BGP-LS attribute
which is associated with a Link NLRI, or it could be carried as a
sub-TLV in the L2 Bundle Member Attribute TLV. The format of the
sub-TLV is as below:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

| Type | Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Flags |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Where:
Type: TBD
Length: 4 octets.
Flags: 16-bit flags. This field is consistent with the Flag field
in IS-IS Link Attribute sub-TLV in [RFC5029]. In addition to the
flags defined in [RFC5029], A new Flag "E" is defined in this
document.
- Link excluded from load balancing. When the flag is set, it
indicates this link is only used for the associated NRPs.

Internet-Draft BGP-LS for Scalable SR VPN+ March 2022
4.2. Option 2: Per-NRP Link TE Attributes
An Layer-3 interface can participate in multiple NRPs, each of which
is allocated with a subset of the resources of the interface. For
each NRP, the associated resources can be described using per-NRP TE
attributes. A new NRP-specific TE attribute TLV is defined to
advertise the link attributes associated with an NRP. This sub-TLV
MAY be carried in the BGP-LS Attribute associated with a Link NLRI.
The format of the NRP-specific TE attribute TLV is shown as below:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

| Type | Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Flags | Reserved |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| NRP IDs Sub-TLV |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ Other Sub-TLVs ~
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Where:
* Type: To be assigned by IANA.
* Length: The length of the value field of the TLV. It is variable
dependent on the length of the Sub-TLVs field.
* Flags: 16-bit flags. All the 16 bits are reserved for future use,
which SHOULD be set to 0 on transmission and MUST be ignored on
receipt.
* Reserved: 16-bit field reserved for future use, SHOULD be set to 0
on transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt.
The NRP IDs TLV as defined in section 3.2.1 is used as the NRP IDs
Sub-TLV in the per-NRP Link TE Attribute TLV.
Other Sub-TLVs are optional and can be used to carry the TE
attributes associated with the NRPs. The existing Link TE Attribute
TLVs as defined in [I-D.ietf-idr-rfc7752bis] can be reused as sub-
TLVs here. New sub-TLVs may be defined in the future.

5. Advertisement of NRP specific Data Plane Identifiers
In network scenarios where each NRP is associated with an independent
topology or Flex-Algo, the topology or Flex-Algo specific SR SIDs or
Locators could be used to identify the NRP in data plane, so that the
set of network resources associated with the NRP can be determined.
In network scenarios where multiple NRPs share the same topology or
Flex-Algo, additional data plane identifiers are needed to identify
different NRPs.
This section describes the mechanisms to advertise the NRP
identifiers with different data plane encapsulations.
5.1. NRP-specific SR-MPLS SIDs
With SR-MPLS data plane, the NRP identifier can be implicitly
determined by the SR SIDs associated with the NRP. Each node SHOULD
allocate NRP-specific Prefix-SIDs for each NRP it participates in.
Similarly, NRP-specific Adj-SIDs MAY be allocated for each link which
participates in the NRP.
5.1.1. NRP-specific Prefix-SID TLV
A new NRP-specific Prefix-SID TLV is defined to advertise the
relationship between the prefix-SID and its associated NRP. It is
derived from NRP-specific Prefix-SID sub-TLV of IS-IS
[I-D.dong-lsr-sr-enhanced-vpn]. The format of the sub-TLV is as
below:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Flags | Reserved |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| NRP ID |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| SID/Index/Label(Variable) |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Where:
* Type: TBD
* Length: The length of the value field of the sub-TLV. It is
variable dependent on the length of the SID/Index/Label field.
Dong, et al. Expires 5 September 2022 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS for Scalable SR VPN+ March 2022
* Flags: 16-bit flags. The high-order 8 bits are the same as in the
Prefix-SID sub-TLV defined in [RFC8667]. The lower-order 8 bits
are reserved for future use, which SHOULD be set to 0 on
transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt.
* Reserved: 16-bit field reserved for future use, SHOULD be set to 0
on transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt.
* NRP ID: A 32-bit local identifier to identify the NRP this prefix-
SID is associated with.
* SID/Index/Label: The same as defined in [RFC8667].
One or more of NRP-specific Prefix-SID TLVs MAY be carried in BGP-LS
attribute of the associated Prefix NLRI. The MT-ID in the Prefix
descriptors SHOULD be the same as the MT-ID in the definition of the
NRP.
5.1.2. NRP-specific Adj-SID TLV
A new NRP-specific Adj-SID TLV is defined to advertise between the
Adj-SID and its associated NRP. It is derived from NRP specific Adj-
SID sub-TLV of IS-IS [I-D.dong-lsr-sr-enhanced-vpn]. The format of
the sub-TLV is as below:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

| Flags | Reserved |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| NRP ID |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| SID/Index/Label(Variable) |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Where:
* Type: TBD
* Length: The length of the value field of the sub-TLV. It is
variable dependent on the length of the SID/Index/Label field.
* Flags: 16-bit flags. The high-order 8 bits are the same as in the
Adj-SID sub-TLV defined in [RFC8667]. The lower-order 8 bits are
reserved for future use, which SHOULD be set to 0 on transmission
and MUST be ignored on receipt.

Internet-Draft BGP-LS for Scalable SR VPN+ March 2022
* Reserved: 16-bit field reserved for future use, SHOULD be set to 0
on transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt.
* NRP ID: A 32-bit global unique identifier to identify the NRP this
Adj-SID is associated with.
* SID/Index/Label: The same as defined in [RFC8667].
Multiple NRP-specific Adj-SID TLVs MAY be carried in BGP-LS attribute
of the associated Link NLRI. The MT-ID in the Link descriptors
SHOULD be the same as the MT-ID in the definition of these NRPs.
5.2. NRP-specific SRv6 SIDs
5.2.1. NRP-specific SRv6 Locators and End SIDs
With SRv6 data plane, the NRP identifier can be implicitly or
explicitly determined using the SRv6 Locators associated with the
NRP, this is to ensure that all network nodes (including both the
SRv6 End nodes and Transit nodes) can identify the NRP to which a
packet belongs. Network nodes SHOULD allocate NRP-specific Locators
for each NRP it participates in. The NRP-specific Locators are used
as the covering prefix of NRP-specific SRv6 End SIDs, End.X SIDs and
other types of SIDs.
Each NRP-specific SRv6 Locator MAY be advertised in a separate Prefix
NLRI. If multiple NRPs share the same topology/algorithm, the
topology/algorithm specific Locator is the covering prefix of a group
of NRP-specific Locators. Then the advertisement of NRP-specific
locators can be optimized to reduce the amount of information
advertised in the control plane.
A new NRP locator-block sub-TLV under the SRv6 Locator TLV is defined
to advertise a set of sub-blocks which follows the topology/algorithm
specific Locator. Each NRP locator-block value is assigned to one of
the NRPs which share the same topology/algorithm.

| NRP ID #n |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
~ Locator Block Value ~
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Where:
* Type: TBD
* Length: The length of the value field of the sub-TLV. It is
variable dependent on the number of NRPs and the Block Length.
* Number of NRPs: The number of NRPs which share the same topology/
algorithm specific Locator as the covering prefix.
* Block Length: The length of the NRP locator-block which follows
the length of the topology/algorithm specific Locator.
* NRP ID: A 32-bit identifier to identify the NRP the locator-block
is associated with.
* Block Value: The value of the NRP locator-block for each NRP.
With the NRP locator-block sub-TLV, the NRP-specific Locator can be
obtained by concatenating the topology/algorithm specific locator and
the locator-block value advertised for the NRP.
5.2.2. NRP-specific SRv6 End.X SID
The SRv6 End.X SIDs are advertised in the BGP-LS attribute with Link
NLRI.In order to distinguish the End.X SIDs which belong to different
NRPs, a new "NRP ID Sub-TLV" is introduced under the SRv6 End.X SID
TLV and SRv6 LAN End.X SID TLV defined in
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext]. Its format is shown as below:
Dong, et al. Expires 5 September 2022 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS for Scalable SR VPN+ March 2022
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Type | Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| NRP ID |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Where:
* Type: TBD.
* Length: the length of the Value field of the TLV. It is set to 4.
* NRP ID: A 32-bit global identifier to identify the NRP this End.X
SID is associated with.
5.3. Dedicated NRP ID in Data Plane
As the number of NRPs increases, with the mechanism described in
[I-D.ietf-spring-sr-for-enhanced-vpn], the number of SR SIDs and SRv6
Locators allocated for different NRPs would also increase. In
network scenarios where the number of SIDs or Locators becomes a
concern, some data plane optimization may be needed to reduce the
amount of SR SIDs and Locators allocated. As described in
[I-D.dong-teas-nrp-scalability], one approach is to decouple the data
plane identifiers used for topology based forwarding and the
identifiers used for the NRP-specific processing. Thus a new data
plane global NRP-ID could be introduced and encapsulated in the
packet. One possible encapsulation of NRP-ID in IPv6 data plane is
proposed in [I-D.dong-6man-enhanced-vpn-vtn-id]. One possible
encapsulation of NRP-ID in MPLS data plane is proposed in
[I-D.li-mpls-enhanced-vpn-vtn-id].
In that case, the NRP ID encapsulated in data packet can be the same
value as the NRP ID used in the control protocols, so that the
overhead of advertising the mapping relationship between the NRP IDs
in the control plane and the corresponding data plane identifiers
could be saved.
6. Security Considerations
This document introduces no additional security vulnerabilities to
BGP-LS.
The mechanism proposed in this document is subject to the same
vulnerabilities as any other protocol that relies on BGP-LS.
