             Signaling MSD (Maximum SID Depth) using IS-IS
               draft-tantsura-isis-segment-routing-msd-00

Abstract

   This document proposes a way to expose Maximum SID Depth (MSD)
   supported by a node at node and/or link level by an OSPF Router.  In
   a Segment Routing (SR) enabled network a centralized controller that
   programs SR tunnels at the head-end node needs to know the MSD
   information at node level and/or link level to push the label stack
   of an appropriate depth.

1.  Introduction

   When Segment Routing tunnels are computed by a centralized
   controller, it is crucial that the controller knows the MSD "Maximum
   SID Depth" of the node or link SR tunnel exits over, so it doesn't
   download a path with SID (label stack) of a depth more than the node
   or link used is capable of imposing.  This document describes how to
   use IS-IS to expose the MSD of the node or link to a centralized
   controller.

   PCEP SR extensions [I-D.ietf-pce-segment-routing] has defined MSD, to
   signal in SR PCE Capability TLV, METRIC Object.  However, If PCEP is
   not supported by a node (head-end of the SR tunnel) and controller
   does not participate in IGP routing it has no way to learn the MSD of
   the node or link configured.  BGP-LS [I-D.ietf-idr-ls-distribution]
   defines a way to expose topology and associated different attributes,
   capabilities of the nodes in that topology to a centralized
   controller and MSD has been defined in
   [I-D.tantsura-bgp-ls-segment-routing-msd].  For this information to
   be advertised by BGP for the all nodes and links of the network,
   where this is provisioned, IS-IS module should have this information
   in the LSDB.

   [I-D.ietf-isis-mpls-elc] defines, RLSDC which indicates how many
   labels a node can read to take a decision to insert an Entropy Label
   (EL) and is different than how many labels a node can push as defined
   by MSD in this draft.

1.1.1.  Terminology

   BGP-LS: Distribution of Link-State and TE Information using Border
   Gateway Protocol

   ISIS: Intermediate System to Intermediate System

   MSD: Maximum SID Depth

   PCC: Path Computation Client

1.2.  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 [RFC2119].

2.  Terminology

   This memo makes use of the terms defined in [RFC4971].

3.  Node MSD Advertisement

   A new sub-TLV within the body of IS-IS Router Capability TLV
   [RFC4971], called Node MSD sub-TLV is defined to carry the
   provisioned SID depth of the router originating the Router Capability
   TLV.  Node MSD is the lowest MSD supported by the node and can be
   provisioned in IS-IS instance.

   The Type (1 byte) of this sub-TLV is TBD.

   Length is 1 bytes, and

   the Value field contains MSD of the router originating the Router
   Capability TLV.  Node MSD is a number in the range of 0-254. 0
   represents lack of the ability to push MSD of any depth; any other
   value represents that of the node.  This value SHOULD represent the
   lowest value supported by node.

   This TLV is optional.  The scope of the advertisement is specific to
   the deployment.

4.  LINK MSD Advertisement

   A new sub-TLV called Link MSD sub-TLV is defined to carry the
   provisioned SID depth of the interface associated with the link.

   The Type (1 byte) of this TLV is TBD.

   Length is 1 byte, and

   the Value field contains Link MSD of the router originating the
   corresponding IS extended reachability TLV [RFC4971] or MT IS TLV
   [RFC5120].  Link MSD is a number in the range of 0-254. 0 represents
   lack of the ability to push MSD of any depth; any other value
   represents that of the particular link MSD value.

5.  Acknowledgements

   TBD

6.  IANA Considerations

   This document includes a request to IANA to allocate sub-TLV type
   codes for the new TLV proposed in Section 3 of this document from IS-
   IS Router Capability TLV Registry as defined by [RFC4971].  Also for
   link MSD, we request IANA to allocate new sub-TLV codes as defined in
   Section 4 from IS extended reachability TLV (22) and MT IS TLV (222)
   registry.

7.  Security Considerations

   This document describes a mechanism for advertising Segment Routing
   SID depth supported at node and link level information through IS-IS
   LSPs and does not introduce any new security issues.
