Introduction BGP Flow-spec is an extension to BGP that allows for the dissemination of traffic flow specification rules. It leverages the BGP Control Plane to simplify the distribution of ACLs, new filter rules can be injected to all BGP peers simultaneously without changing router configuration. The typical application of BGP Flow- spec is to automate the distribution of traffic filter lists to routers for DDOS mitigation. RFC5575 defines a new BGP Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) format used to distribute traffic flow specification rules. NLRI (AFI=1, SAFI=133)is for IPv4 unicast filtering. NLRI (AFI=1, SAFI=134)is for BGP/MPLS VPN filtering. The Flow specification match part only includes L3/L4 information like source/destination prefix, protocol, ports, and etc, so traffic flows can only be selectively filtered based on L3/L4 information. Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks L2VPNs have already been deployed in an increasing number of networks today. In L2VPN network, we also have requirement to deploy BGP Flow-spec to mitigate DDoS attack traffic. Within L2VPN network, both IP and non-IP Ethernet traffic Hao & Liang,et,al Expires July 7, 2015 [Page 2] Internet-Draft EVPN Flow Spec March 2015 maybe exist. For IP traffic filtering, the Flow specification rules defined in [RFC5575] which include match criteria and actions can still be used, flow specification rules received via new NLRI format apply only to traffic that belongs to the VPN instance(s) in which it is imported. For non-IP Ethernet traffic filtering, Layer 2 related information like source/destination MAC and VLAN should be considered. But the flow specification match criteria defined in RFC5575 only include layer 3 and layer 4 IP information, layer 2 Ethernet information haven't been included. There are different kinds of L2VPN networks like EVPN [EVPN], BGP VPLS [RFC4761], LDP VPLS [RFC4762] and border gateway protocol (BGP) auto discovery [RFC 6074]. Because the flow-spec feature relies on BGP protocol to distribute traffic filtering rules, so it can only be incrementally deployed in those L2VPN networks where BGP is used for auto discovery and/or signaling purposes such as BGP-based VPLS [4761], EVPN and LDP-based VPLS [4762] with BGP auto-discovery [6074]. This draft proposes a new subset of component types and extended community to support L2VPN flow-spec application. SAFI=134 in [RFC5575] is redefined for dissemination traffic filtering information in an L2VPN environment. 2. Layer 2 Flow Specification encoding in BGP The [RFC5575] defines SAFI 133 and SAFI 134 for "dissemination of IPv4 flow specification rules" and "dissemination of VPNv4 flow specification rules" respectively. [draft-ietf-idr-flow-spec-v6-06] redefines the [RFC5575] SAFIs in order to make them applicable to both IPv4 and IPv6 applications. This document will further redefine the SAFI 134 in order to make them applicable to L2VPN applications. The following changes are defined: "SAFI 134 for dissemination of L3VPN flow specification rules" to now be defined as "SAFI 134 for dissemination of VPN flow specification rules" For SAFI 134 the indication to which address family it is referring to will be recognized by AFI value (AFI=1 for VPNv4, AFI=2 VPNv6 and AFI=25 for L2VPN). Such modification is fully backwards compatible with existing implementation and production deployments. Hao & Liang,et,al Expires July 7, 2015 [Page 3] Internet-Draft EVPN Flow Spec March 2015 3. Ethernet Flow Specification encoding in BGP The NLRI format for this address family consists of a fixed-length Route Distinguisher field (8 bytes) followed by a flow specification, following the encoding defined in this document. The NLRI length field shall include both the 8 bytes of the Route Distinguisher as well as the subsequent flow specification. Flow specification rules received via this NLRI apply only to traffic that belongs to the VPN instance(s) in which it is imported. Flow rules are accepted by default, when received from remote PE routers. Besides the component types defined in [RFC5575] and [draft-ietf- idr-flow-spec-v6-06], this document proposes the following additional component types for L2VPN Ethernet traffic filtering: Type 14 - Source MAC Encoding: <type (1 octet), [op, value]+> Defines a list of {operation(op), value} pairs used to match source MAC. Values are encoded as 6-byte quantities. The operation field is encoded as ''Numeric operator'' defined in [RFC5575]. Type 15 - Destination MAC Encoding: <type (1 octet), [op, value]+> Defines a list of {operation, value} pairs used to match destination MAC. Values are encoded as 6-byte quantities. Type 16 - Ethernet Type Encoding: <type (1 octet), [op, value]+> Defines a list of {operation, value} pairs used to match two-octet field. Values are encoded as 2-byte quantities. Ethernet II framing defines the two-octet EtherType field in an Ethernet frame, preceded by destination and source MAC addresses, that identifies an upper layer protocol encapsulating the frame data. Type 17 - DSAP(Destination Service Access Point) in LLC Encoding: <type (1 octet), [op, value]+> Hao & Liang,et,al Expires July 7, 2015 [Page 4] Internet-Draft EVPN Flow Spec March 2015 Defines a list of {operation, value} pairs used to match 1-octet DSAP in the 802.2 LLC(Logical Link Control Header). Values are encoded as 1-byte quantities. Type 18 - SSAP(Source Service Access Point) in LLC Encoding: <type (1 octet), [op, value]+> Defines a list of {operation, value} pairs used to match 1-octet SSAP in the 802.2 LLC. Values are encoded as 1-byte quantities. Type 19 - Control field in LLC Encoding: <type (1 octet), [op, value]+> Defines a list of {operation, value} pairs used to match 1-octet control field in the 802.2 LLC. Values are encoded as 1-byte quantities. Type 20 - SNAP Encoding: <type (1 octet), [op, value]+> Defines a list of {operation, value} pairs used to match 5-octet SNAP(Sub-Network Access Protocol) field. Values are encoded as 5- byte quantities. Type 21 - VLAN ID Encoding: <type (1 octet), [op, value]+> Defines a list of {operation, value} pairs used to match VLAN ID. Values are encoded as 1- or 2-byte quantities. In virtual local-area network (VLAN) stacking case, the VLAN ID is outer VLAN ID. Type 22 - VLAN COS Encoding: <type (1 octet), [op, value]+> Defines a list of {operation, value} pairs used to match 3-bit VLAN COS fields [802.1p]. Values are encoded using a single byte, where the five most significant bits are zero and the three least significant bits contain the VLAN COS value. Hao & Liang,et,al Expires July 7, 2015 [Page 5] Internet-Draft EVPN Flow Spec March 2015 In virtual local-area network (VLAN) stacking case, the VLAN COS is outer VLAN COS. Type 23 - Inner VLAN ID Encoding: <type (1 octet), [op, value]+> Defines a list of {operation, value} pairs used to match inner VLAN ID using for virtual local-area network (VLAN) stacking or Q in Q case. Values are encoded as 1- or 2-byte quantities. In single VLAN case, the component type MUST not be used. Type 24 - Inner VLAN COS Encoding: <type (1 octet), [op, value]+> Defines a list of {operation, value} pairs used to match 3-bit inner VLAN COS fields [802.1p] using for virtual local-area network (VLAN) stacking or Q in Q case. Values are encoded using a single byte, where the five most significant bits are zero and the three least significant bits contain the VLAN COS value. In single VLAN case, the component type MUST not be used. 4.

This extended community is encoded as a sequence of 5 zero bytes followed by the VLAN COS value encoded in the 3 least significant bits of 6th byte. In virtual local-area network (VLAN) stacking case, the VLAN COS is outer VLAN COS. 5. Security Considerations No new security issues are introduced to the BGP protocol by this specification. 6. IANA Considerations IANA is requested to rename currently defined SAFI 134 per [RFC5575] to read: 134 VPN dissemination of flow specification rules IANA is requested to create and maintain a new registry for "Flow spec L2VPN Component Types". For completeness, the types defined in [RFC5575] and [draft-ietf-idr-flow-spec-v6-06] also are listed here.
