               Flowspec Indirection-id Redirect for SRv6
             draft-ietf0-idr-srv6-flowspec-path-redirect-04

Abstract

   This document defines extensions to "FlowSpec Redirect to
   indirection-id Extended Community" for SRv6.  This extended community
   can trigger advanced redirection capabilities to flowspec clients for
   SRv6.  When activated, this flowspec extended community is used by a
   flowspec client to retrieve the corresponding next-hop and encoding
   information within a localised indirection-id mapping table.

   The functionality detailed in this document allows a network
   controller to decouple the BGP flowspec redirection instruction from
   the operation of the available paths.

Requirements Language

   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 [2].

   provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.

1.  Introduction

   "FlowSpec Redirect to indirection-id Extended Community" for IPv4 is
   defined in ietf-idr-flowspec-path-redirect [1].  This draft specifies
   extensions to this community for SRv6.

2.  Redirect to indirection-id Community

   This document defines a new sub-type value for SRv6 in "FlowSpec
   Redirect to indirection-id Extended Community".  The format of this
   extended community with the new sub-type value is show below:

   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   Where

   Type: 1 octet, defined in ietf-idr-flowspec-path-redirect [1].

   Sub-Type: 1 octet, its value (TBD) will be assigned by IANA.

   Flags: Same as that defined in ietf-idr-flowspec-path-redirect [1].

   ID-Type: 1 octet value.  This draft defines following Context Types:

      0 - Localised ID (The flowspec client uses the received
      indirection-id to lookup forwarding information within the
      localised indirection-id table.  The allocation and programming of
      the localised indirection-id table is outside scope of the
      document)

      1 - Node ID with SID/index in MPLS-based Segment Routing (This
      means the indirection-id is mapped to an MPLS label using the
      index as a global offset in the SID/label space)

      2 - Node ID with SID/label in MPLS-based Segment Routing (This
      means the indirection-id is mapped to an MPLS label using the
      indirection-id as global label)

      3 - Binding Segment ID with SID/index in MPLS-based Segment
      Routing (This means the indirection-id is mapped to an MPLS
      binding label using the indirection-id as index for global offset
      in the SID/label space).

      4 - Binding Segment ID with SID/label in MPLS-based Segment
      Routing (This means indirection-id is mapped to an MPLS binding
      label using the indirection-id as global label).

      5 - Tunnel ID (Tunnel ID is within a single administrative domain
      a globally unique tunnel identifier.  The allocation and
      programming of the Tunnel ID within the localised indirection-id
      table is outside scope of the document)

Internet-Draft      Indirection-id Redirect for SRv6           July 2020

      6 - Node ID with SID/index in SRv6 (This means the indirection-id
      is mapped to an SRv6 SID using the indirection-id as global SRv6
      SID or index)

      7 - Binding Segment ID with SID/index in SRv6 (This means the
      indirection-id is mapped to an SRv6 binding SID using the
      indirection-id as index for global offset in the SID space).

      8 - Binding Segment ID with SID/index in SRv6 (This means
      indirection-id is mapped to an SRv6 binding SID using the
      indirection-id as global SRv6 SID).

   Generalized indirection_id: 128-bit identifier used as indirection_id

3.  Security Considerations

   A system using "Redirect to indirection-id" extended community can
   cause during the redirect mitigation of a DDoS attack overflow of
   traffic received by the mitigation infrastructure.
