1.  Introduction

   Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is a method of accessing memory on
   a remote system without interrupting the processing of the Central
   Processing Unit (CPU) on that system.  RDMA enables lower latency and
   higher throughput on the network and lower CPU utilization for the
   servers and storage systems.  Currently, RoCEv2 (RDMA over Converged
   Ethernet Version 2)[IBTA-Spec] is widely deployed in lossless
   networks in intelligent computing centers, providing packet loss free
   data transmission services for high-performance computing (HPC) and
   AI model training and inference scenarios.

   With the rapid growth in demand for computing and storage resources
   in AI big models and distributed storage, intelligent computing
   centers are interconnected through wide area networks (WANs) to
   provide multi-DCs collaboration to compensate for the limitations of
   insufficient computing and storage resources in a single DC, and
   improve resource utilization.  The interconnection of artificial
   intelligence Data Centers (AIDCs) through WANs are becoming a new
   network structure gradually accepted by the industry, providing wide
   area lossless transmission for emerging application scenarios.

   WAN, when interconnecting RoCEv2 networks, is required to meet the
   performance of "high throughput, low latency, and near-zero packet
   loss", [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-net-notif-ps] describes the existing problems
   and the need of fast network notification solutions.  The RoCEv2

Internet-Draft  Fast Congestion Notification (FCN) in Wi       July 2026

   networks often implement a proactive congestion control mechanism
   based on Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) [RFC3168].  The ECN-
   marked packets are routed to the destination (receiver).  Then the
   receiver alerts the source (sender) by sending Congestion
   Notification Packets (CNP).  After receiving the CNP, the sender
   slows down the sending rate immediately to mitigate congestion.  This
   mechanism introduces Round- Trip-Time (RTT) delay and can be slow for
   the sender to take action.  [I-D.xiao-rtgwg-rocev2-fast-cnp] defines
   a RoCEv2 Fast Congestion Notification Packet (Fast CNP), which can be
   sent by a congested network node to the traffic sender directly.  [I-
   D.xiao-rtgwg-proxy-congestion-notification] introduce a proxy network
   node between the congested node and the traffic sender, in which the
   congested node sends the congestion notification to the proxy node,
   and then the proxy node translates the received congestion
   notification and resends the translated congestion notification to
   the traffic sender.

   This document describes a solution to Fast Congestion Notification
   (FCN) in WAN interconnecting RoCEv2 networks, especially applicable
   to tunnel encapsulation.

                    Figure 1: RoCEv2 Data Packet Format

   Within the InfiniBand Base Transport Header, there is a 24-bit field
   called Destination Queue Pair (Destination QP), indicating the Work
   Queue Pair Number at the destination.  The QP consists of a Send Work
   Queue and a Receive Work Queue.  Send and receive queues are always
   created as a pair when the connection is estabilished and remain that
   way throughout their lifetime.  A Queue Pair is identified by its
   Queue Pair Number.

   The Source QP indicating the Work Queue Pair at the source is not
   contained in the InfiniBand Base Transport Header.  It is because
   both the sender and the receiver know the binding relationship
   between the Source QP and the Destination QP.

   RoCEv2 Congestion Notification Packet (CNP) format is shown in
   Figure 2.

           Figure 2: RoCEv2 Congestion Notification Packet Format

   The RoCEv2 CNP is generated by the receiver after receiving RoCEv2
   data packet with ECN bits set.  The Destination QP of the RoCEv2 CNP
   is set to the Work Queue Pair Number at the sender, corresponding to
   the Source QP of the sender.

   After the sender receives the RoCEv2 CNP, the sender would reduce the
   transmission rate at which it sends the RoCEv2 data packets to the
   receiver.  The congestion control algorithm used by the sender is
   outside the scope of this document.

4.  FCN in WANs

   Typically, two AIDCs based on RoCEv2 network are interconnected
   through a WAN, where the DC gateway in each AIDC is directly
   connected to the respective PE in the WAN.  VPN tunnels (e.g., SR-
   MPLS, SRv6, VXLAN) are established between the ingress PE and egress
   PE to carry massive RoCEv2 traffic between DCs, as shown in Figure 3.

               Figure 3: AIDCs Interconnected Through WANs

   Fast Congestion Notification (FCN) is generated by a congested node
   in WAN, but not generated by the receiver.  When a network node in
   WAN encounters network congestion, it's difficult for the congested
   node to send a congestion notification message to the sender
   directly, because there exist different routing domains between WAN
   and AIDC.  Instead, the congested node sends congestion notification
   packets (CNPs) to the ingress PE firstly.  The ingress PE translates
   the received CNPs to a standard format known by the sender and then
   resends the translated congestion notification message to the sender.

4.1.  Technical requirements for WAN

   During the process of establishing a session connection between the
   sender and the receiver, Ingress PE needs to learn and maintain the
   connection relationship between the source IP address and destination
   IP address pair and the Work Queue Pair, including source QP and
   destination QP.

   Assuming that the sender supports congestion management, and it sends
   all RoCEv2 packets with the ECN field in the IP header set to "01" or
   "10".

   When the ingress PE receives RoCEv2 packets originated by the sender
   from the AIDC, the technical requirements for the ingress PE are as
   follows.

Internet-Draft  Fast Congestion Notification (FCN) in Wi       July 2026

   *  Ingress PE is REQUIRED to parse RoCEv2 packet header, including
      the InfiniBand Base Transport Header.  It then extracts the source
      IP address, the destination IP address and the Destination QP from
      RoCEv2 packet header to obtain the packt flow information, and
      randomly assign a locally unique Flow Label value to this RoCEv2
      packet flow.  At the same time, it is REQUIRED to dynamically
      maintain the mapping table between the RoCEv2 packet flow and
      corresponding flow label: {source IP address, destination IP
      address, source QP, destination QP; Flow Label}. Also, it should
      maintain a timeout timer to monitor when the flow terminates.  If
      the timer has timed out and any RoCEv2 packet from this flow has
      not been received, clear this flow mapping table and release the
      corresponding memory space.

   *  Ingress PE is REQUIRED to encapsulate the RoCEv2 packet with an
      outer IPv6 header, with the source address being the IP address of
      the ingress PE and the destination address determined by the
      tunnel encapsulation method.  For instance, if it is the VXLAN
      tunnel, the destination address is the IP address of the egress
      PE; if it is the SRv6 tunnel, the destination address is the first
      SID of SRH.  At the same time, the assigned flow label value MUST
      be populated into the Flow Label field of the outer IPv6 header,
      while the flow label value in the original RoCEv2 packet header
      (if there is an IPv6 packet header) remains unchanged.  In
      addition, the ECN field within the out IPv6 header MUST be set to
      the same value as the ECN field within the IP header of the
      original RoCEv2 packet.  It then send RoCEv2 packets with the
      tunnel encapsulation through WAN.

   When a network node in WAN (execpt the ingress PE) encounters
   congestion, the technical requirements for the congested node are as
   follows.

   *  The congested node determines whether the sender supports
      congestion management, based on the ECN field of the outer IPv6
      header.  If congestion management is supported, then it is
      REQUIRED to extract the Flow Label field of the outer IPv6 header
      of the encapsulated RoCEv2 packet causing congestion, and generate
      a Fast Congestion Notification Packet (Fast CNP), with the source
      address being the IP address of the congested node and the
      destination address being the IP address of the ingress PE (i.e.,
      the source address of the encapsulated packet).  Then it sends
      this Fast CNP to the ingress PE.  Generally, the frequency of
      sending Fast CNP depends on the degree of congestion, and the more
      severe the congestion, the more frequently Fast CNP is sent.  How
      often Fast CNP is sent is outside the scope of this document.

He, et al.               Expires 4 January 2027                 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft  Fast Congestion Notification (FCN) in Wi       July 2026

   *  The above Fast CNP MUST carry the flow label information of the
      RoCEv2 flow that caused congestion, as well as the optional
      congestion level.  The Fast CNP format is defined in Section 4.2.

   *  If the ingress PE encounters congestion, It directly sends a
      standard CNP to the sender.

   When the ingress PE receives a Fast CNP, the technical requirements
   for the ingress PE are as follows.

   *  Ingress PE is REQUIRED to extract the Flow Label as well as the
      optional congestion level information from the Fast CNP.  Based on
      the dynamically maintained mapping table between the RoCEv2 packet
      flow and corresponding flow label, obtain the corresponding RoCEv2
      packet flow information and regenerate the standard CNP for the
      RoCEv2 network.  The source address of the CNP packet is the IP
      address of the ingress PE, and the destination address is the
      source IP address of the original RoCEv2 packet, inferred from the
      correlation between the flow label and the source IP address in
      the mapping table.  At the same time, the source QP in the mapping
      table is populated into the destination QP field of the InfiniBand
      Base Transport Header in the standard CNP.  The ingress PE then
      resends the standard CNP to the traffic sender.

   On receiving the standard CNP, the sender can determine the source QP
   of the RoCEv2 flow causing congestion, based on the destination QP
   (i.e., the source QP of the sender) field of the InfiniBand Base
   Transport Header in the standard CNP, and then implement congestion
   control, slowing down the packet injection for the source QP of the
   RoCEv2 flow causing congestion.

4.2.  Fast CNP Format

   The congestion notification message sent from the congested node to
   the ingress PE is a UDP message formatted in Figure 4.

       0                   1                   2                   3

Internet-Draft  Fast Congestion Notification (FCN) in Wi       July 2026

   The UDP header as specified in [RFC768] includes the UDP source port,
   UDP destination port, UDP length, and UDP checksum.  A well-known UDP
   destination port (TBD1) needs to be allocated for this Fast CNP.  UDP
   Length is the length in octets of this datagram including UDP header
   and the data.  The data field is 4 bytes, containing 20-bit Flow
   Label, 3-bit CL (Congestion Level) and 9-bit Rvd (Reserved) field.
   Thus UDP Length of this Fast CNP is 12.

   The 20-bit Flow Label field indicates the RoCEv2 packet flow causing
   congestion.  The flow label value within the outer IPv6 header of the
   encapsulated RoCEv2 packet causing congestion is populated into this
   20-bit Flow Label field.  Optionally, this flow label value is also
   copied into Flow Label field of IPv6 header in this Fast CNP.

   The 3-bit Congestion Level field indicates the congestion level.
   Value 1 represents the lowest congestion level and value 7 represents
   the highest congestion level.  This is an optional field, when not
   used, it can be set to value 0.

   The 9-bit Reserved field is for future use.  It MUST be set to "0" on
   transmission and and ignored on receipt.

5.  IANA Considerations

   This document requests a well-known UDP port number TBD1 from the
   System Ports range of the "Service Name and Transport Protocol Port
   Number" registry [RFC6335] is requested to be assigned to the Fast
   Congestion Notification.  Specifically, IANA is requested to assign a
   UDP port as shown below for which the Assignee and Contact is the
   IESG and the IETF Chair, respectively.

   +==============+========+===========+===============+===============+
   | Service Name | Port   | Transport | Description   | Reference     |
   |              | Number | Protocol  |               |               |
   +==============+========+===========+===============+===============+
   |    Fast      |        |           |   Receiver    |               |
   | Congestion   | TBD1   |   UDP     |   Port for    | This document |
   | Notification |        |           |   Fast CNP    |               |
   +--------------+--------+-----------+---------------+---------------+

6.  Security Considerations

   The Fast CNP MUST be applied in a specific controlled domain.  A
   limited administrative domain provides the network administrator with
   the means to select, monitor, and control the access to the network,
   making it a trusted domain.

He, et al.               Expires 4 January 2027                [Page 10]
Internet-Draft  Fast Congestion Notification (FCN) in Wi       July 2026

   To avoid potential Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, it is RECOMMENDED
   that implementations apply rate-limiting policies when generating
   Fast CNPs.

   A deployment MUST support the configuration option to enable or
   disable the Fast CNP feature defined in this document.  By default,
   the Fast CNP feature MUST be disabled.
