Multipoint LDP in-band signaling for Point-to-Multipoint and Multipoint-
                   to-Multipoint Label Switched Paths
               draft-ietf-mpls-mldp-in-band-signaling-06

Abstract

   Consider an IP multicast tree, constructed by Protocol Independent
   Multicast (PIM), needs to pass through an MPLS domain in which
   Multipoint LDP (mLDP) Point-to-Multipoint and/or Multipoint-to-
   Multipoint Labels Switched Paths (LSPs) can be created.  The part of
   the IP multicast tree that traverses the MPLS domain can be
   instantiated as a multipoint LSP.  When a PIM Join message is
   received at the border of the MPLS domain, information from that
   message is encoded into mLDP messages.  When the mLDP messages reach
   the border of the next IP domain, the encoded information is used to
   generate PIM messages that can be sent through the IP domain.  The
   result is an IP multicast tree consisting of a set of IP multicast
   sub-trees that are spliced together with a multipoint LSP.

Internet-Draft         In-band signaling with mLDP             June 2012

1.  Introduction

   The mLDP specification [I-D.ietf-mpls-ldp-p2mp] describes mechanisms
   for creating point-to-multipoint (P2MP) and multipoint-to-multipoint
   MP2MP LSPs.  These LSPs are typically used for transporting enduser
   multicast packets.  However, the mLDP specification does not provide
   any rules for associating particular enduser multicast packets with
   any particular LSP.  Other drafts, like
   [I-D.ietf-l3vpn-2547bis-mcast], describe applications in which out-
   of-band signaling protocols, such as PIM and BGP, are used to
   establish the mapping between an LSP and the multicast packets that
   need to be forwarded over the LSP.

   This draft describes an application in which the information needed
   to establish the mapping between an LSP and the set of multicast
   packets to be forwarded over it is carried in the "opaque value"
   field of an mLDP FEC element.  When an IP multicast tree (either a
   source-specific tree or a bidirectional tree) enters the MPLS network
   the (S,G) or (*,G) information from the IP multicast control plane
   state is carried in the opaque value field of the mLDP FEC message.
   As the tree leaves the MPLS network, this information is extracted
   from the FEC element and used to build the IP multicast control
   plane.  PIM messages can be sent outside the MPLS domain.  Note that
   although the PIM control messages are sent periodically, the mLDP
   messages are not.

   Each IP multicast tree is mapped one-to-one to a P2MP or MP2MP LSP in
   the MPLS network.  This type of service works well if the number of
   LSPs that are created is under control of the MPLS network operator,
   or if the number of LSPs for a particular service are known to be
   limited in number.

1.2.  Terminology

   IP multicast tree :  An IP multicast distribution tree identified by
      an source IP address and/or IP multicast destination address, also
      refered to as (S,G) and (*,G).

Internet-Draft         In-band signaling with mLDP             June 2012

   RP:  The PIM Rendezvous Point.

   SSM:  PIM Source Specific Multicast.

   ASM:  PIM Any Source Multicast.

   mLDP :  Multipoint LDP.

   Transit LSP :  An P2MP or MP2MP LSP whose FEC element contains the
      (S,G) or (*,G) identifying a particular IP multicast distribution
      tree.

   In-band signaling :  Using the opaque value of a mLDP FEC element to
      carry the (S,G) or (*,G) indentifying a particular IP multicast
      tree.

   P2MP LSP:  An LSP that has one Ingress LSR and one or more Egress
      LSRs.

   MP2MP LSP:  An LSP that connects a set of leaf nodes, acting
      indifferently as ingress or egress.

   MP LSP:  A multipoint LSP, either a P2MP or an MP2MP LSP.

   Ingress LSR:  Source of the P2MP LSP, also referred to as root node.

   Egress LSR:  One of potentially many destinations of an LSP, also
      referred to as leaf node in the case of P2MP and MP2MP LSPs.

   Transit LSR:  An LSR that has one or more directly connected
      downstream LSRs.

2.  In-band signaling for MP LSPs

   Suppose an LSR, call it D, is attached to a network that is capable
   of MPLS multicast and IP multicast, and D is required to create a IP

   multicast tree due to a certain IP multicast event, like a PIM Join,
   MSDP Source Announcement (SA) [RFC3618], BGP Source Active auto-
   discovery route [I-D.rekhter-pim-sm-over-mldp] or Rendezvous Point
   (RP) discovery.  Suppose that D can determine that the IP multicast
   tree needs to travel through the MPLS network until it reaches some
   other LSR, U. For instance, when D looks up the route to the Source
   or RP [RFC4601] of the IP multicast tree, it may discover that the
   route is a BGP route with U as the BGP next hop.  Then D may chose to
   set up a P2MP or MP2MP LSP, with U as root, and to make that LSP
   become part of the IP multicast distribution tree.  Note that other
   methods are possible to determine that an IP multicast tree is to be
   transported across an MPLS network using P2MP or MP2MP LSPs, these
   methods are outside the scope of this document.

   Source or RP addresses that are reachable in a VPN context are
   outside the scope of this document.

   Multicast groups that operate in PIM Dense-Mode are outside the scope
   of this document.

   In order to establish a multicast tree via a P2MP or MP2MP LSP using
   in-band signaling the source and the group will be encoded into an
   mLDP opaque TLV encoding [I-D.ietf-mpls-ldp-p2mp].  The type of
   encoding depends on the IP version.  The tree type (P2MP or MP2MP)
   depends on whether this is a source specific or a bidirectional
   multicast tree.  The root of the tree is the BGP next-hop that was
   found during the route lookup on the source or RP.  Using this
   information a mLDP FEC is created and the LSP is build towards the
   root of the LSP.

   When an LSR receives a label mapping or withdraw and discovers it is
   the root of the identified P2MP or MP2MP LSP, then the following
   procedure is executed.  If the opaque encoding of the FEC indicates
   this is a Transit LSP (indicated by the opaque type), the opaque TLV
   is decoded and the multicast source and group is passed to the
   multicast code.  If the multicast tree information is received via a
   label mapping, the multicast code will add the downstream LDP
   neighbor to the olist of the corresponding (S,G) or (*,G) state,
   creating such state if it does not already exist.  If it is due to a
   label withdraw, the multicast code will remove the downstream LDP
   neighbor from the olist of the corresponding (S,G) or (*,G) state.
   From this point on normal PIM processing will occur.

2.1.  Transiting Unidirectional IP multicast Shared Trees

   Nothing prevents PIM shared trees, used by PIM-SM in the ASM service
   model, from being transported across a MPLS core.  However, it is not
   possible to prune individual sources from the shared tree without the

Wijnands, et al.        Expires December 24, 2012               [Page 6]
Internet-Draft         In-band signaling with mLDP             June 2012

   use of an additional out-of-band signaling protocol, like PIM or BGP
   [I-D.rekhter-pim-sm-over-mldp].  For that reason transiting Shared
   Trees across a Transit LSP is outside the scope of this draft.

2.2.  Transiting IP multicast source trees

   IP multicast source trees can either be created via PIM operating in
   SSM mode [RFC4607] or ASM mode [RFC4601].  When PIM-SM is used in ASM
   mode, the usual means of discovering active sources is to join a
   sparse mode shared tree.  However, this document does not provide any
   method of establishing a sparse mode shared tree across an MPLS
   network.  To apply the technique of this document to PIM-SM in ASM
   mode, there must be some other means of discovering the active
   sources.  One possible means is the use of MSDP [RFC3618].  Another
   possible means is to use BGP Source Active auto-discovery routes, as
   documented in [I-D.rekhter-pim-sm-over-mldp].  However, the method of
   discovering the active sources is outside the scope of this document,
   and as a result this document does not specify everything that is
   needed to support the ASM service model using in-band signaling.

   The source and group addresses are encoded into the a transit TLV as
   specified in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2.

2.3.  Transiting IP multicast bidirectional trees

   Bidirectional IP multicast trees [RFC5015] MUST be transported across
   a MPLS network using MP2MP LSPs.  A bidirectional tree does not have
   a specific source address; the group address, subnet mask and RP are
   relevant for multicast forwarding.  This document does not provide
   procedures to discover RP to group mappings dynamically across an
   MPLS network and assumes the RP is statically defined.  Support of
   dynamic RP mappings in combination with in-band signaling is outside
   the scope of his document.

   The RP for the group is used to select the ingress LSR and root of
   the LSP.  The group address is encoded according to the rules of
   Section 3.3 or Section 3.4, depending on the IP version.  The subnet
   mask associated with the bidirectional group is encoded in the
   Transit TLV.  There are two types of bidirectional states in IP
   multicast, the group specific state and the RP state.  The first type
   is typically created due to receiving a PIM join and has a subnet
   mask of 32 for IPv4 and 128 for IPv6.  The latter is typically
   created via the static RP mapping and has a variable subnet mask.
   The RP state is used to build a tree to the RP and used for sender
   only branches.  Each state (group specific and RP state) will result
   in a separate MP2MP LSP.  The merging of the two MP2MP LSPs will be
   done by PIM on the root LSR.  No speccial procedures are nessesary
   for PIM to merge the two LSPs, each LSP is effectively treated as a

   PIM enabled interface.  Please see [RFC5015] for more details.

   For transporting the packets of a sender only branch we create a
   MP2MP LSP.  Other sender only branches will receive these packets and
   will not forward them because there are no receivers.  These packets
   will be dropped.  If that affect is undesireable some other means of
   transport has to be established to forward packets to the root of the
   tree, like a Multi-Point to Point LSP for example.  A technique to
   unicast packets to the root of a P2MP or MP2MP LSP is documented in
   [I-D.rosen-l3vpn-mvpn-mspmsi] section 3.2.2.1 and
   [I-D.ietf-mpls-ldp-p2mp] section 3.
