Fast Reroute Procedures for
Associated Bidirectional Label Switched Paths (LSPs)
draft-ietf-teas-assoc-corouted-bidir-frr-01
Abstract
Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) association signaling can be
used to bind two unidirectional LSPs into an associated bidirectional
LSP. When an associated bidirectional LSP is co-routed, the reverse
LSP follows the same path as its forward LSP. This document
describes Fast Reroute (FRR) procedures for both single-sided and
double-sided provisioned associated bidirectional LSPs. The FRR
procedures can ensure that for the co-routed LSPs, traffic flows on
co-routed paths in the forward and reverse directions after a failure
event.

Internet-Draft FRR For Associated Bidirectional LSPs May 24, 2017
1. Introduction
The Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) (Extended) ASSOCIATION
Object is specified in [RFC6780] which can be used generically to
associate (G)Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Traffic
Engineering (TE) Label Switched Paths (LSPs). [RFC7551] defines
mechanisms for binding two point-to-point unidirectional LSPs
[RFC3209] into an associated bidirectional LSP. There are two models
described in [RFC7551] for provisioning an associated bidirectional
LSP, single-sided and double-sided. In both models, the reverse LSP
of the bidirectional LSP may or may not be co-routed and follow the
same path as its forward LSP.
The Path Computation Element Communication Protocol (PCEP) provides
mechanisms for Path Computation Elements (PCEs) to perform path
computations in response to Path Computation Clients (PCCs) requests.
The Stateful PCE allows stateful control of the MPLS TE LSPs which
may be initiated by the PCE or a PCC. As defined in [PCE-ASSOC-
BIDIR], a Stateful PCE can be employed to initiate single-sided and
double-sided associated bidirectional LSPs on PCC(s).
In packet transport networks, there are requirements where the
reverse LSP of a bidirectional LSP needs to follow the same path as
its forward LSP [RFC6373]. The MPLS Transport Profile (TP) [RFC6370]
architecture facilitates the co-routed bidirectional LSP by using the
GMPLS extensions [RFC3473] to achieve congruent paths. However, the
RSVP association signaling allows to enable co-routed bidirectional
LSPs without having to deploy GMPLS extensions in the existing
networks. The association signaling also allows to take advantage of
the existing TE and Fast Reroute (FRR) mechanisms in the network.
[RFC4090] defines FRR extensions for MPLS TE LSPs and those are also
applicable to the associated bidirectional LSPs. [GMPLS-FRR] defines
FRR procedure for GMPLS signaled bidirectional LSPs, such as, co-
ordinate bypass tunnel assignments in the forward and reverse
directions of the LSP. The mechanisms defined in [GMPLS-FRR] are
also useful for the FRR of associated bidirectional LSPs.
This document describes FRR procedures for both single-sided and
double-sided provisioned associated bidirectional LSPs. The FRR
procedures can ensure that for the co-routed LSPs, traffic flows on
co-routed paths in the forward and reverse directions after a failure
event.
1.1. Assumptions and Considerations
The following assumptions and considerations apply to this document:
Gandhi, et al. Expires November 25, 2017 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft FRR For Associated Bidirectional LSPs May 24, 2017
o The FRR procedure to co-ordinate the bypass tunnel assignment
defined in this document may be used for non-corouted associated
bidirectional protected LSPs but requires that the downstream PLR
and MP pair of the forward LSP matches the upstream MP and PLR
pair of the reverse LSP.
o The FRR procedure when using the unidirectional bypass tunnels is
defined in [RFC4090] and is not modified by this document.
o This document assumes that the FRR bypass tunnels used for
associated bidirectional protected LSPs are also bidirectional.
o The FRR bypass tunnels used for co-routed associated bidirectional
protected LSPs are assumed to be co-routed.
2. Conventions Used in This Document
2.1. Key Word Definitions
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
2.2. Terminology
The reader is assumed to be familiar with the terminology defined in
[RFC2205], [RFC3209], [RFC4090], [RFC7551], and [GMPLS-FRR].
2.2.1. Forward Unidirectional LSPs
Two reverse unidirectional point-to-point (P2P) LSPs are setup in the
opposite directions between a pair of source and destination nodes to
form an associated bidirectional LSP. In the case of single-sided
provisioned LSP, the originating LSP with REVERSE_LSP Object is
identified as a forward unidirectional LSP. In the case of double-
sided provisioned LSP, the LSP originating from the higher node
address (as source) and terminating on the lower node address (as
destination) is identified as a forward unidirectional LSP.
2.2.2. Reverse Co-routed Unidirectional LSPs
Two reverse unidirectional point-to-point (P2P) LSPs are setup in the
opposite directions between a pair of source and destination nodes to
form an associated bidirectional LSP. A reverse unidirectional LSP
originates on the same node where the forward unidirectional LSP
terminates, and it terminates on the same node where the forward
unidirectional LSP originates. A reverse co-routed unidirectional
Gandhi, et al. Expires November 25, 2017 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft FRR For Associated Bidirectional LSPs May 24, 2017
LSP traverses along the same path as the forward direction
unidirectional LSP in the opposite direction.
3. Overview
As specified in [RFC7551], in the single-sided provisioning case, the
RSVP TE tunnel is configured only on one endpoint node of the
bidirectional LSP. An LSP for this tunnel is initiated by the
originating endpoint with (Extended) ASSOCIATION Object containing
Association Type set to "single-sided associated bidirectional LSP"
and REVERSE_LSP Object inserted in the RSVP Path message. The remote
endpoint then creates the corresponding reverse TE tunnel and signals
the reverse LSP in response using the information from the
REVERSE_LSP Object and other objects present in the received RSVP
Path message. As specified in [RFC7551], in the double-sided
provisioning case, the RSVP TE tunnel is configured on both endpoint
nodes of the bidirectional LSP. Both forward and reverse LSPs are
initiated independently by the two endpoints with (Extended)
ASSOCIATION Object containing Association Type set to "double-sided
associated bidirectional LSP". With both single-sided and double-
sided provisioned bidirectional LSPs, the reverse LSP may or may not
be congruent (i.e. co-routed) and follow the same path as its forward
LSP.
Both single-sided and double-sided associated bidirectional LSPs
require solutions to the following issues for fast reroute to ensure
co-routedness after a failure event.
3.1. Fast Reroute Bypass Tunnel Assignment
In order to ensure that the traffic flows on a co-routed path after a
link or node failure on the co-routed protected LSP path, the mid-
point Point of Local Repair (PLR) nodes need to assign matching
bidirectional bypass tunnels for fast reroute. Such bypass
assignment requires co-ordination between the forward and reverse
direction PLR nodes when more than one bypass tunnels are present on
a PLR node.

Figure 1: Multiple Bidirectional Bypass Tunnels
As shown in Figure 1, there are two bypass tunnels available, Bypass
tunnel N (on path B-H-I-C) and Bypass tunnel S (on path B-F-G-C).
The mid-point PLR nodes B and C need to co-ordinate bypass tunnel
assignment to ensure that traffic in both directions flow through
either on the Bypass tunnel N (on path B-H-I-C) or the Bypass tunnel
S (on path B-F-G-C), after the link B-C failure.
3.2. Node Protection Bypass Tunnels
When using a node protection bypass tunnel with a bidirectional
protected LSP, after a link failure, the forward and reverse LSP
traffic can flow on different node protection bypass tunnels in the
upstream and downstream directions.

Figure 2: Node Protection Bypass Tunnels
As shown in Figure 2, after the link B-C failure, the downstream PLR
node B reroutes the protected forward LSP1 traffic over the bypass
tunnel S (on path B-F-G-D) to reach downstream MP node D whereas the
upstream PLR node C reroute the protected reverse LSP2 traffic over
the bypass tunnel N (on path C-I-H-A) to reach the upstream MP node
A. As a result, the traffic in the forward and revere directions
flows on different bypass tunnels and this can cause the co-routed
bidirectional LSP to become non-corouted. However, unlike GMPLS
LSPs, the asymmetry of paths in the forward and reverse directions
does not result in RSVP soft-state time-out with the associated
bidirectional LSPs.
3.3. Bidirectional LSP Association At Mid-Points
In packet transport networks, a restoration LSP is signaled after a
link failure on the protected LSP path and the protected LSP may or
may not be torn down [RFC8131]. In this case, multiple forward and
reverse LSPs of a co-routed bidirectional LSP may be present at mid-
point nodes with identical (Extended) ASSOCIATION Objects. This
creates an ambiguity at mid-point nodes to identify the correct
associated LSP pair for fast reroute bypass assignment (e.g. during
the recovery phase of RSVP graceful restart procedure).

Figure 3: Restoration LSP Set-up After Link Failure
As shown in Figure 3, the protected LSPs LSP1 and LSP2 are an
associated LSP pair, similarly the restoration LSPs LSP3 and LSP4 are
an associated LSP pair, both pairs belong to the same associated
bidirectional LSP and carry identical (Extended) ASSOCIATION Objects.
In this example, the mid-point node D may mistakenly associate LSP1
with the reverse LSP4 instead of the reverse LSP3 due to the matching
(Extended) ASSOCIATION Objects. This may cause the co-routed
bidirectional LSP to become non-corouted. Since the bypass
assignment needs to be co-ordinated between the forward and reverse
LSPs, this can also lead to undesired bypass tunnel assignments.
4. Signaling Procedure
4.1. Bidirectional LSP Fast Reroute
For both single-sided and double-sided associated bidirectional LSPs,
the fast reroute procedure specified in [RFC4090] is used. In
addition, the mechanisms defined in [GMPLS-FRR] are used as
following.
o The BYPASS_ASSIGNMENT subobject defined in [GMPLS-FRR] is used to
co-ordinate bypass tunnel assignment between the forward and
reverse direction PLR nodes (see Figure 1). The BYPASS_ASSIGNMENT
and Node-ID address [RFC4561] subobjects MUST be added by the
downstream PLR node in the RECORD_ROUTE Object (RRO) of the RSVP
Path message of the forward LSP to indicate the bypass tunnel
assignment. The upstream PLR node MUST NOT add the
BYPASS_ASSIGNMENT subobject in the RRO of the RSVP Path message of
the reverse LSP.
o The downstream PLR node always initiates the bypass tunnel
assignment for the forward LSP. The upstream PLR (forward
direction LSP MP) node simply reflects the bypass tunnel
assignment for the reverse direction LSP. The upstream PLR node
MUST NOT initiate the bypass tunnel assignment.
o If the bypass tunnel is not found, the upstream PLR SHOULD send a
Notify message [RFC3473] with Error-code - "FRR Bypass Assignment
Error" and Sub-code - "Bypass Tunnel Not Found" [GMPLS-FRR] to the
downstream PLR.
o If the bypass tunnel can not be used due to a local policy as
described in Section 4.5.3 in [GMPLS-FRR], the upstream PLR SHOULD
send a Notify message [RFC3473] with Error-code - "FRR Bypass
Assignment Error" and Sub-code - "Bypass Assignment Cannot Be
Gandhi, et al. Expires November 25, 2017 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft FRR For Associated Bidirectional LSPs May 24, 2017
Used" [GMPLS-FRR] to the downstream PLR.
o After a link or node failure, the PLR nodes in both forward and
reverse directions trigger fast reroute independently using the
procedures defined in [RFC4090] and send the forward and reverse
LSP RSVP Path messages and traffic over the bypass tunnel.
4.1.1. Re-corouting with Node Protection Bypass Tunnels
After fast reroute, the downstream MP node assumes the role of
upstream PLR and reroutes the reverse LSP RSVP Path messages and
traffic over the bypass tunnel on which the forward LSP RSVP Path
messages and traffic are received. This is defined as re-corouting
procedure in [GMPLS-FRR]. This procedure is used to ensure that both
forward and reverse LSP signaling and traffic flow on the same
bidirectional bypass tunnel after fast reroute.
As shown in Figure 2, when using a node protection bypass tunnel with
co-routed protected LSPs, asymmetry of paths can occur in the forward
and reverse directions after a link failure [GMPLS-FRR]. In order to
restore co-routedness, the downstream MP node D (acting as an
upstream PLR) SHOULD trigger re-coroute procedure and reroute the
reverse protected LSP2 RSVP Path messages and traffic over the bypass
tunnel S (on path D-G-F-B) to the upstream MP node B. The upstream
PLR node C stops receiving the RSVP Path messages and traffic for the
reverse LSP2 from node D and it stops sending the RSVP Path messages
for the reverse LSP2 on the bypass tunnel N (on path C-I-H-A).
4.1.2. Unidirectional Link Failures
The unidirectional link failures can cause co-routed bidirectional
LSPs to become non-corouted after fast reroute with both link
protection and node protection bypass tunnels. The asymmetry of
forward and reverse LSP paths due to the unidirectional link failure
in the downstream direction can be corrected by using the
re-corouting procedure specified in Section 4.1.1 of this document.
In any case, the unidirectional link failures in the upstream and/or
downstream directions do not result in RSVP soft-state time-out with
the associated bidirectional LSPs.
4.1.3. Revertive Behavior After Fast Reroute
When the revertive behavior is desired for a protected LSP after the
link is restored, the procedure defined in [RFC4090], Section 6.5.2,
is followed.
o The upstream and downstream PLR nodes independently start sending
the RSVP Path messages and traffic flow of the protected LSP over
Gandhi, et al. Expires November 25, 2017 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft FRR For Associated Bidirectional LSPs May 24, 2017
the restored link and stop sending them over the bypass tunnel
[RFC4090].
o In case of node protection bypass tunnels (see Figure 2), after
re-corouting, the upstream PLR node D SHOULD start sending RSVP
Path messages and traffic for the reverse LSP over the original
link (D-C) when it receives the RSVP Path messages and traffic for
the forward LSP over it and stops sending them over the bypass
tunnel S.
4.1.4. Bypass Tunnel Provisioning
Fast reroute bidirectional bypass tunnels can be single-sided or
double-sided associated tunnels. For both single-sided and double-
sided associated bypass tunnels, the fast reroute assignment policies
need to be configured on the downstream PLR nodes of the protected
LSPs that initiate the bypass tunnel assignments. For single-sided
associated bypass tunnels, these nodes are the originating nodes of
their signaling.
4.2. Bidirectional LSP Association At Mid-points
In order to associate the LSPs unambiguously at a mid-point node (see
Figure 3), the endpoint node MUST signal Extended ASSOCIATION Object
and add unique Extended Association ID for each associated forward
and reverse LSP pair forming the bidirectional LSP. As an example,
an endpoint node MAY set the Extended Association ID to the value
specified in Section 5.1 of this document.
o For single-sided provisioned bidirectional LSPs [RFC7551], the
originating endpoint signals the Extended ASSOCIATION Object with
a unique Extended Association ID. The remote endpoint copies the
contents of the received Extended ASSOCIATION Object including the
Extended Association ID in the RSVP Path message of the reverse
LSP's Extended ASSOCIATION Object.
o For double-sided provisioned bidirectional LSPs [RFC7551], both
endpoints need to ensure that the bidirectional LSP has a unique
Extended ASSOCIATION Object for each forward and reverse LSP pair
by selecting appropriate unique Extended Association IDs signaled
by them.
