1.  Introduction

   Path Segment is a type of SR segment, which is used to identify an SR
   path.  Path Segment in MPLS based segment routing network is defined
   in [I-D.ietf-spring-mpls-path-segment].

   When Path Segment is used, it's inserted by the ingress node of the
   SR path, and then processed by the egress node of the SR path.  The
   position of Path Segment Label within the MPLS label stack is
   immediately following the segment list of the SR path.  Note that the
   Path Segment would not be popped up until it reaches the egress node.

   This document provides Target Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC)
   stack TLV definitions for Path-SIDs.  Procedures for LSP Ping as
   defined in [RFC8287] and [RFC8690] are applicable to Path-SIDs as
   well.

2.  Conventions

2.1.  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.

2.2.  Terminology

   This document uses the terminology defined in [RFC8402] and
   [RFC8029], readers are expected to be familiar with those terms.

3.  Path Segment ID Sub-TLV

   Analogous to what's defined in Section 5 of [RFC8287] and Section 4
   of [I-D.ietf-mpls-sr-epe-oam], three new sub-TLVs are defined for the
   Target FEC Stack TLV (Type 1), the Reverse-Path Target FEC Stack TLV
   (Type 16), and the Reply Path TLV (Type 21).

        Sub-Type    Sub-TLV Name
        --------    -----------------------------
         TBD1       SR Policy's Path SID
         TBD2       SR Candidate Path's Path SID
         TBD3       SR Segment List's Path SID

   As specified in Section 2 of [I-D.ietf-spring-mpls-path-segment], the
   Path Segment may be used to identify an SR Policy, its Candidate
   Path, or a Segment List, so three different Target FEC sub-TLVs need
   to be defined for Path Segment ID.  When a Path Segment is used to
   identify an SR Policy, the Target FEC sub-TLV of SR Policy's Path SID
   would be used to validate the control plane to forwarding plane
   synchronization for this Path-SID; When a Path Segment is used to
   identify an SR Candidate Path, the Target FEC sub-TLV of SR Candidate
   Path's Path SID would be used to validate the control plane to
   forwarding plane synchronization for this Path-SID; When a Path
   Segment is used to identify a Segment List, the Target FEC sub-TLV of
   SR Segment List's Path SID would be used to validate the control
   plane to forwarding plane synchronization for this Path-SID.  Note
   that the three new Target FEC sub-TLVs are mutual exclusive and they
   wouldn't be present in one message simultaneously.

3.1.  SR Policy's Path SID

   The format of SR Policy's Path SID sub-TLV is as specified below:

               Figure 2: SR Candidate Path's Path SID sub-TLV

   Type

      This field is set to the value (TBD2) which indicates that it's an
      SR Candidate Path's Path SID sub-TLV.

   Length

      This field is set to the length of the sub-TLV's Value field in
      octets.  If Headend and Endpoint fields are in IPv4 address format
      which is 4 octets long, it MUST be set to 40; If Headend and
      Endpoint fields are in IPv6 address format which is 16 octets
      long, it MUST be set to 64.

      This field identifies the headend of an SR Policy, the same as
      defined in Section 2.1 of
      [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].  The headend is a
      4-octet IPv4 address or a 16-octet IPv6 address.

   Color

      This field associates the SR Policy with an intent, the same as
      defined in Section 2.1 of
      [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].  The color is a 4-octet
      numerical value.

   Endpoint

      This field identifies the endpoint of an SR Policy, the same as
      defined in Section 2.1 of
      [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].  The endpoint is a
      4-octet IPv4 address or a 16-octet IPv6 address.

   Protocol-Origin

      This field identifies the component or protocol that originates or
      signals the candidate path for an SR Policy, the same as defined
      in Section 2.3 of [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].  The
      protocol-origin is a 1-octet value that follows the recommendation
      from Table 1 of Section 2.3 of
      [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy], which specifies value 10
      for "PCEP", value 20 for "BGP SR Policy" and value 30 for "Via
      Configuration".

      This field identifies the node which provisioned or signaled the
      candidate path for an SR Policy, the same as defined in
      Section 2.4 of [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].  The
      originator is a 20-octet numerical value formed by the
      concatenation of the fields of the tuple <ASN, node-address>,
      among which ASN is a 4-octet number and node address is a 16-octet
      value (an IPv6 address or an IPv4 address encoded in the lowest 4
      octets).  When Procotol-Origin is respectively "Via
      Configuration", or "PCEP", or "BGP SR Policy", the values of ASN
      and node address follow the specification in Section 2.4 of
      [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].

      This field uniquely identifies a candidate path within the context
      of an SR policy, the same as defined in Section 2.5 of
      [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].  The discriminator is a
      4-octet value.  When Protocol-Origin is respectively "Via
      Configuration", or "PCEP", or "BGP SR Policy", the value of
      discriminator follows the specification in Section 2.5 of

      [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].

   Discriminator

      This field uniquely identifies a candidate path within the context
      of an SR policy, the same as defined in Section 2.5 of
      [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].  The discriminator is a
      4-octet value.  When Protocol-Origin is respectively "Via
      Configuration", or "PCEP", or "BGP SR Policy", the value of
      discriminator follows the specification in Section 2.5 of
      [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].

   Segment-List-ID

      This field identifies an SR path within the context of a candidate
      path of an SR Policy, the same as "Path ID" defined in Section 4.2
      of [I-D.ietf-pce-multipath], or "List Identifier" defined in
      Section 2.2 of [I-D.lp-idr-sr-path-protection].  The segment-list-
      ID is a 4-octet identifier of the corresponding segment list.

4.  Path-SID FEC Validation

   The MPLS LSP Ping procedures MAY be initiated by the headend of the
   Segment Routing path or a centralized topology-aware data plane
   monitoring system as described in [RFC8403].  For the Path-SID, the
   responder nodes that receive echo request and send echo reply MUST be
   the endpoint of the Segment Routing path.

   When an endpoint receives the LSP echo request packet with top FEC
   being the Path-SID, it SHOULD perform validity checks on the content
   of the Path-SID FEC sub-TLV.  The basic length check should be
   performed on the received FEC.

       SR Policy's Path SID
       ------------------
       Length = 12 or 36

       SR Candidate Path's Path SID
       ------------------
       Length = 40 or 64

       SR Segment List's Path SID
       ------------------
       Length = 44 or 68

   If a malformed FEC sub-TLV is received, then a return code of 1,
   "Malformed echo request received" as defined in [RFC8029] SHOULD be
   sent.  The below section augments the section 7.4 of [RFC8287].

5.  Security Considerations

   This document defines additional MPLS LSP Ping sub-TLVs and follows
   the mechanisms defined in [RFC8029].  All the security considerations
   defined in [RFC8029] will be applicable for this document and, in
   addition, they do not impose any additional security challenges to be
   considered.
