          Segment Routing for End-to-End IETF Network Slicing
             draft-li-spring-sr-e2e-ietf-network-slicing-04

Abstract

   IETF network slice can be used to meet the connectivity and
   performance requirement of different services or customers in a
   shared network.  An IETF network slice can be realized by mapping a
   set of connectivity constructs to a network resource partition (NRP).
   In some network scenarios, an end-to-end IETF network slice may span
   multiple network domains.  Within each domain, traffic of the end-to-
   end network slice service is mapped to a local domain NRP.

   When segment routing (SR) is used to provide multi-domain IETF
   network slices, information of the local domain NRP can be specified
   using special SR binding segments which is called NRP binding
   segments (NRP BSID).  Then a multi-domain IETF network slice can be
   specified using a list of NRP BSIDs in the packet, each of which is
   used by the corresponding domain edge nodes to steer the traffic of
   end-to-end IETF network slice into the specific local domain NRP.

   This document describes the functionality of NRP binding segment and
   its instantiation in SR-MPLS and SRv6 data plane.

1.  Introduction

   [I-D.ietf-teas-ietf-network-slices] introduces the concept and the
   characteristics of IETF network slice, and describes a general
   framework for IETF network slice management and operation.  It also
   introduces the concept Network Resource Partition (NRP), which is a
   collection of resources identified in the underlay network.  IETF
   network slice can be realized by mapping a set of connectivity
   constructs to a network resource partition (NRP).
   [I-D.ietf-teas-enhanced-vpn] describes the framework and the
   candidate component technologies for providing enhanced VPN (VPN+)
   services based on VPN and Traffic Engineering (TE) technologies.
   Enhanced VPN (VPN+) can be used for the realization of IETF network
   slices.

   [I-D.dong-teas-nrp-scalability] describes the scalability
   considerations in the control plane and data plane of NRP and provide
   the suggestions to improve the scalability of NRP.  In the data
   plane, it proposes to carry an NRP-ID in the data packet to determine
   the set of resources reserved for the corresponding NRP.
   [I-D.ietf-6man-enhanced-vpn-vtn-id] describes the mechanism of
   carrying the VTN resource ID (which is equivalant to NRP-ID) of a
   network domain in the IPv6 Hop-by-Hop (HBH) extension header.

   An end-to-end IETF network slice may span multiple network domains.
   Within each domain, traffic of the end-to-end network slice service
   needs to be mapped to a local domain NRP.  On the domain edge nodes,
   the NRP in the local domain used for carrying the end-to-end network
   slice needs to be determined.  [I-D.li-teas-e2e-ietf-network-slicing]
   describes the framework of carrying network slice related identifiers
   in the data plane, each of the network slice related identifiers may
   have a different network scope.  It provides an approach of mapping
   the global NRP-ID to domain NRP-IDs at the network domain edge nodes.

   In SR networks, an NRP can be establised and represented using either
   a set of NRP specific resource-aware
   segments[I-D.ietf-spring-resource-aware-segments]
   [I-D.ietf-spring-sr-for-enhanced-vpn], or an NRP-ID which can
   identify the set of network resources allocated to an NRP.

   When segment routing (SR) is used to provide multi-domain IETF
   network slices, information of the local domain NRP can be specified
   using special SR binding segments called NRP binding segments (NRP
   BSID).  Then a multi-domain IETF network slice can be specified using
   a list of NRP BSIDs in the packet, each of which is used by the
   corresponding domain edge nodes to steer the traffic of end-to-end
   IETF network slice into the specific local domain NRP.

   This document describes the functionality of the NRP binding segment
   and its instantiation in SR-MPLS and SRv6 data plane.

1.1.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

2.  Segment Routing for IETF E2E Network Slicing

   With Segment Routing, there are several optional approaches to steer
   the end-to-end network slice traffic into the local domain NRPs.

Li, et al.               Expires 11 January 2023                [Page 3]
Internet-Draft       SR for E2E IETF Network Slicing           July 2022

   The first type of approaches are to use one type of NRP BSID to steer
   traffic to an SR Policy which is associated with a local domain NRP.
   This is called the NRP-TE BSID.  There are some variants in terms of
   the detailed behavior:

   *  The first variant is to use one type of NRP BSID to specify the
      mapping of traffic to an SR policy which consists of list of
      resource-aware segments [I-D.ietf-spring-resource-aware-segments]
      associated with a local domain NRP.

   *  The second variant is to use one type of NRP BSID to specify the
      mapping of traffic to an SR policy which is associted with a local
      domain NRP-ID.

   The second type of approaches are to use one type of NRP BSID to
   steer traffic to follow the shortest path within a local domain NRP.
   This is called the NRP-BE BSID.  There are some variants in terms of
   the detailed behavior:

   *  The first variant is to use one type of NRP BSID to determine a
      local domain NRP-ID, and instruct the domain edge node to
      encapsulate the local domain NRP-ID into the packet.

   *  The second variant is to use one type of NRP BSID to specify the
      mapping of traffic to a local domain NRP, the local domain NRP-ID
      is specified in some fields of the packet by the ingress node of
      the end-to-end network slice, and is obtained and encapsulated
      into the packet at the domain edge node.

   The behavior of the first type of NRP BSID is similar to the function
   of the existing SR BSID, the difference is it is associated with a
   particular local domain NRP.  The second type of NRP BSID is
   different from the existing SR BSID.  The instantiation of the NRP
   BSIDs in SR-MPLS and SRv6 are described in the following sections.

3.  SRv6 NRP Binding Functions

   [RFC8986] defines the SRv6 Network Programming concept and specifies
   the base set of SRv6 behaviors.  The SRv6 End.B6.Encaps function is
   defined to bind to an SRv6 Policy in SRv6 with enapsulation, and it
   can be used for the first variant of the NRP-TE BSID.  In this case,
   the SRv6 End.B6 encaps function is used to steer the network slice
   traffic to an SRv6 Policy, which consists of candidate paths built
   with resource-aware SRv6 segment lists that are associated with a
   local domain NRP.

   For other types and variants of NRP binding segments as described in
   section 2, three new SRv6 Binding functions are defined.

Internet-Draft       SR for E2E IETF Network Slicing           July 2022

3.1.  End.B6NRP.Encaps

   A new SRv6 function called End.B6NRP.Encaps: Endpoint bound to an
   SRv6 Policy in a NRP with IPv6 NRP-ID encapsulation is defined.  This
   is a variation of the End behavior.  It instructs the endpoint node
   to determine an SRv6 Policy in a specific NRP of the local domain,
   and encapsulate both the SID list and the NRP-ID specified by the
   SRv6 Policy in a new IPv6 header.

   Any SID instance of this behavior is associated with an SR Policy B,
   a NRP-ID V and a source address A.

   When node N receives a packet whose IPv6 DA is S, and S is a local
   End.B6NRP.Encaps SID, N does the following:

   S01. When an SRH is processed {
   S02.   If (Segments Left == 0) {
   S03.      Stop processing the SRH, and proceed to process the next
                header in the packet, whose type is identified by
                the Next Header field in the routing header.
   S04.   }
   S05.   If (IPv6 Hop Limit <= 1) {
   S06.      Send an ICMP Time Exceeded message to the Source Address
                with Code 0 (Hop limit exceeded in transit),
                interrupt packet processing, and discard the packet.
   S07.   }
   S08.   max_LE = (Hdr Ext Len / 2) - 1
   S09.   If ((Last Entry > max_LE) or (Segments Left > Last Entry+1)) {
   S10.      Send an ICMP Parameter Problem to the Source Address
                with Code 0 (Erroneous header field encountered)
                and Pointer set to the Segments Left field,
                interrupt packet processing, and discard the packet.
   S11.   }
   S12.   Decrement IPv6 Hop Limit by 1
   S13.   Decrement Segments Left by 1
   S14.   Update IPv6 DA with Segment List [Segments Left]
   S15.   Push a new IPv6 header with its own SRH containing B, and
             set the NRP-ID in the HBH header to V
   S16.   Set the outer IPv6 SA to A
   S17.   Set the outer IPv6 DA to the first SID of B
   S18.   Set the outer Payload Length, Traffic Class, Flow Label,
             Hop Limit, and Next Header fields
   S19.   Submit the packet to the egress IPv6 FIB lookup for
             transmission to the new destination
   S20. }

     | Note:
     | Comparing with the End.B6.Encaps behavior, the difference is
     | in step 15, which includes the setting of the NRP-ID in the
     | IPv6 HBH header

3.2.  End.NRP.Encaps

   A new SRv6 function called End.NRP.Encaps: Endpoint with IPv6 NRP
   encapsulation is defined.  This is a variation of the End behavior.
   It instructs the endpoint node to determine the corresponding NRP-ID
   of the local domain based on the mapping relationship between the
   End.NRP.Encaps SID and the NRPs maintained on the endpoint.  The NRP-
   ID is encapsulated in the IPv6 HBH header of the outer IPv6 header.

   Any SID instance of this behavior is associated with one NRP-ID V and
   a source address A.

Internet-Draft       SR for E2E IETF Network Slicing           July 2022

   When node N receives a packet whose IPv6 DA is S, and S is a local
   End.NRP.Encaps SID, N does the following:

   S01. When an SRH is processed {
   S02.   If (Segments Left == 0) {
   S03.      Stop processing the SRH, and proceed to process the next
                header in the packet, whose type is identified by
                the Next Header field in the routing header.
   S04.   }
   S05.   If (IPv6 Hop Limit <= 1) {
   S06.      Send an ICMP Time Exceeded message to the Source Address
                with Code 0 (Hop limit exceeded in transit),
                interrupt packet processing, and discard the packet.
   S07.   }
   S08.   max_LE = (Hdr Ext Len / 2) - 1
   S09.   If ((Last Entry > max_LE) or (Segments Left > Last Entry+1)) {
   S10.      Send an ICMP Parameter Problem to the Source Address
                with Code 0 (Erroneous header field encountered)
                and Pointer set to the Segments Left field,
                interrupt packet processing, and discard the packet.
   S11.   }
   S12.   Decrement IPv6 Hop Limit by 1
   S13.   Decrement Segments Left by 1
   S14.   Update IPv6 DA with Segment List [Segments Left]
   S15.   Push a new IPv6 header with HBH header, and
             set the NRP-ID in the VTN option to V
   S16.   Set the outer IPv6 SA to A
   S17.   Set the outer IPv6 DA to the inner IPv6 DA
   S18.   Set the outer Payload Length, Traffic Class, Flow Label,
             Hop Limit, and Next Header fields
   S19.   Submit the packet to the egress IPv6 FIB lookup for
             transmission to the new destination
   S20. }

     | Note:
     | Comparing with the End.B6NRP.Encaps behavior, the difference is
     | in step 15 to 17, which does not need to include an SRH
     | in the outer IPv6 header

3.3.  End.BNRP.Encaps

   A new SRv6 function called End.BNRP.Encaps: Endpoint bound to an NRP
   with IPv6 encapsulation is defined.  This is a variation of the End
   behavior.  For the End.BNRP SID, its corresponding NRP-ID should be
   specified and encapsulated by the ingress node of the multi-domain
   SRv6 Path.  It instructs the endpoint node to obtain the
   corresponding NRP-ID from the SRH, and encapsulate it into the IPv6
   HBH header of the outer IPv6 header.  Through the End.BNRP.Encaps,

Li, et al.               Expires 11 January 2023                [Page 7]
Internet-Draft       SR for E2E IETF Network Slicing           July 2022

   the ingress node can flexibly specify the local domain NRP the packet
   needs to traverse in the network.

   Any SID instance of this behavior is associated with one NRP-ID V and
   a source address A.

   There can be several options to carry the local domian NRP-ID
   corresponding to the End.BNRP.Encaps function:

   1.  The NRP-ID is carried in the argument field of the
       End.BNRP.Encaps SID.

   2.  The NRP-ID is carried in the SRH TLV field.

   3.  The NRP-ID is carried in the next SID following the
       End.BNRP.Encaps SID in the SID list.

   Editor's note: In the current version of this document, option 1 is
   preferred, in which the local domain NRP-ID is carried in the
   argument field of the SRv6 SID.

   When an ingress node of an end-to-end SR path encapsulates an
   End.BNRP.Encaps SID into the packet, it SHOULD put the local domain
   NRP-ID which the packet is expected to be steered to in that domain
   into the argument part of the corresponding SID.

   When node N receives a packet whose IPv6 DA is S, and S is a local
   End.BNRP.Encaps SID, N does the following:

   S01. When an SRH is processed {
   S02.   If (Segments Left == 0) {
   S03.      Stop processing the SRH, and proceed to process the next
                header in the packet, whose type is identified by
                the Next Header field in the routing header.
   S04.   }
   S05.   If (IPv6 Hop Limit <= 1) {
   S06.      Send an ICMP Time Exceeded message to the Source Address
                with Code 0 (Hop limit exceeded in transit),
                interrupt packet processing, and discard the packet.
   S07.   }
   S08.   max_LE = (Hdr Ext Len / 2) - 1
   S09.   If ((Last Entry > max_LE) or (Segments Left > Last Entry+1)) {
   S10.      Send an ICMP Parameter Problem to the Source Address
                with Code 0 (Erroneous header field encountered)
                and Pointer set to the Segments Left field,
                interrupt packet processing, and discard the packet.
   S11.   }
   S12.   Obtain the NRP-ID V from the argument part of the IPv6 DA
   S13.   Decrement IPv6 Hop Limit by 1
   S14.   Decrement Segments Left by 1
   S15.   Update IPv6 DA with Segment List [Segments Left]
   S16.   Push a new IPv6 header with HBH header, and
             set the NRP-ID in the VTN option to V
   S17.   Set the outer IPv6 SA to A
   S18.   Set the outer IPv6 DA to the inner IPv6 DA
   S19.   Set the outer Payload Length, Traffic Class, Flow Label,
             Hop Limit, and Next Header fields
   S20.   Submit the packet to the egress IPv6 FIB lookup for
             transmission to the new destination
   S21. }

     | Note:
     | Comparing with the End.NRP.Encaps behavior, the difference is
     | in the new step 12, which is to obtain the NRP-ID from the
     | current IPv6 DA.

4.  SR-MPLS NRP BSIDs

   [I-D.li-mpls-enhanced-vpn-vtn-id] describes the mechanism of carrying
   the NRP-ID in the MPLS extension header.

   With SR-MPLS data plane, SR-MPLS BSIDs can be allocated by a domain
   edge node for different NRP binding segment behaviors described in
   section 2.

Li, et al.               Expires 11 January 2023                [Page 9]
Internet-Draft       SR for E2E IETF Network Slicing           July 2022

   For the first type of NRP-TE BSID, an SR-MPLS BSID is bound to an SR
   Policy which consists of the candidate paths built with resource-
   aware segment lists associated with a local domain NRP.  When a node
   receives a packet with a locally assigned NRP-TE BSID, it determines
   the corresponding segment list which consists of the resource-aware
   segments of a local domain NRP, and encapsulates the SID list to the
   MPLS label stack.

   For the second type of the NRP-TE BSID, an SR-MPLS BSID is bound to a
   SR Policy associated with a local domain NRP-ID.  When a node
   receives a packet with a locally assigned type-2 NRP-TE BSID, it
   determines the corresponding SID list and the local domain NRP-ID,
   and encapsulate the packet with both the SID list and an MPLS VTN
   extension header which carries the local domain NRP-ID.  Note this
   requires to assign a separate NRP BSID for each SR policy in the
   local domain NRPs which the node participates in.

   For the first type of the NRP-BE BSID, an SR-MPLS BSID is bound to
   the shortest path in a local domain NRP.  When a node receives a
   packet with a locally assigned type-1 NRP-BE BSID, it determines the
   corresponding local NRP-ID based on the mapping relationship between
   the NRP-BE BSID and the NRP-ID, and encapsulates the packet with an
   MPLS VTN extension header which carries the local NRP-ID.  Note this
   requires to assign a separate NRP-BE BSID for each local domain NRP.

   For the second type of the NRP-BE BSID, a NRP BSID is bound to the
   shortest path in a local domain NRP, the NRP-ID is specified by the
   ingress node of the multi-domain SR path and is carried in the MPLS
   VTN extension header.  When a node receives a packet with a locally
   assigned type-2 NRP-BE BSID, it obtains the corresponding local
   domain NRP-ID from an NRP-ID list in the MPLS VTN extension header,
   and encapsulate the packet with the obtained local domain NRP-ID in
   the MPLS VTN extension header.
