SR Policy for enhanced DetNet
draft-zhang-idr-sr-policy-enhanced-detnet-02
Abstract
SR Policy is a set of candidate SR paths consisting of one or more
segment lists and necessary path attributes. It enables
instantiation of an ordered list of segments with a specific intent
for traffic steering. DetNet provides the capability to carry
specified unicast or multicast data flows with extremely low data
loss rates and bounded end-to-end latency within a network domain.
This document defines the SR policy enhancement to carry the Bounded
Latency Information with a candidate path of SR policy. So that BLI
behavior can be enabled automatically when the SR Policy is applied.

1. Introduction
Segment Routing Policy is defined
in[I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy]. A SR Policy is a set of
candidate path which consist of one or more segment lists. The
headend node instructs the source routing and writes it into package.
The packets steered into an SR Policy have an ordered list of
segments associated with that SR Policy written into them.[RFC8655]
provides the overall architecture for Deterministic Networking
(DetNet), which provides the capability to carry specified unicast or
multicast data flows with extremely low data loss rates and bounded
end-to-end latency within a network domain. Based on
this,[I-D.ietf-detnet-bounded-latency] proposed a timing model for
sources, destinations, and DetNet transit nodes. Using the model, it
provides a methodology to compute end-to-end latency and backlog
bounds for various queuing
methods.[I-D.yzz-detnet-enhanced-data-plane] enhances the DetNet data
plane by introducing Bounded Latency Information (BLI) which
Zhang, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft Abbreviated-Title February 2024
facilitates DetNet transit nodes to guarantee the bounded latency
transmission in data plane. Based on
that,[I-D.geng-spring-sr-enhanced-detnet] defines how to leverage
Segment Routing (SR) and Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) to
implement bounded latency. For An automatic network, the SR Policy
with Bounded Latency Information can facilitate the bounded latency
transmission and enable the automation of SR service.
This document defines the SR policy enhancement to carry the Bounded
Latency Information with a candidate path of SR policy. So that BLI
behavior can be enabled automatically when the SR Policy is applied.
2. Terminology and Conventions
2.1. Requirement 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[RFC2119].
2.2. Terminology
The abbreviations used in this document are:
BLI: Bounded Latency Information
SR: Segment Routing
SID: Segment Identifier
3. BLI Encoding in SR Policy
The BLI is proposed by[I-D.yzz-detnet-enhanced-data-plane] to
facilitate DetNet transit nodes to guarantee the bounded latency
transmission in data plane. In order to specify the bounded latency
features that the candidate path is associated with, this document
defines two types of new sub-TLV in the BGP Tunnel Encapsulation
Attribute for SR Policy[I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy] for
different scenarios.
3.1. BLI List Sub-TLV
When all of the nodes/adjacencies in the explicit path indicated by
the segment list request different BLI to guarantee bounded latency,
a BLI list sub-TLV is defined.
Zhang, et al. Expires 1 September 2024 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Abbreviated-Title February 2024
The BLI list sub-TLV is formatted as follows.
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Type | Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| BLI List [m] |
| |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| ... |
| |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| BLI List [1] |
| |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Where:
Type: to be assigned by IANA.
Length: 16 bits length value to indicate the length of BLI list in
octet.
BLI List [1… m]: 64 bits length BLI structure, representing the nth
BLI in the BLI list.
The BLI in the BLI List corresponds to the Segment in the Segment
List one by one. The length of the BLI List depends on the num of
Segment in the Segment List.
The encoding structure of BGP SR Policy with the BLI list sub-TLV is
expressed as below:

Tunnel Type: SR Policy
Binding SID

Explicit NULL Label Policy (ENLP)

...
...
3.2. Shared BLI sub-TLV
When all of the nodes/adjacencies in the explicit path indicated by
the segment list request BLI to guarantee bounded latency with the
same BLI value, the Shared BLI sub-TLV is defined.
The Shared BLI sub-TLV is defined as follows:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

| Type (TBD2) | Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| BLI |
| |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Where:
Type: to be assigned by IANA.
Length: 16 bits value indicate the length of BLI.
BLI: 64 bits value of Bounded Latency Information to guarantee the
bounded latency, the format of it is defined in section 3.1.
The encoding structure of BGP SR Policy with the Per-segment BLI sub-
TLV is expressed as below:

Tunnel Type: SR Policy

Explicit NULL Label Policy (ENLP)
Segment List

...
4. Procedures
When a candidate path of SR Policy is a bounded-latency routing path,
the originating node of SR policy MUST include the associated bounded
latency information in the BGP Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute of the
BGP SR Policy. The other fields and attributes in BGP SR Policy
should follows the mechanism as defined
in[I-D.ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy].
When a BGP speaker receives an SR Policy which is acceptable and
usable according to the rules as defined
in[I-D.ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy] , and the SR Policy
candidate path selected as the best candidate path is a bounded-
latency path, the receiver node of the SR Policy MUST encapsulate the
specific bounded latency information to the header of packets steered
to the SR Policy. For SR Policy with IPv6 data plane and MPLS data
plane, the possible approach is to encapsulate the BLI to the packet
using the mechanism defined in[I-D.yzz-detnet-enhanced-data-plane]
and[I-D.geng-spring-sr-enhanced-detnet].
5. IANA Considerations
IANA is requested to make the assignment from the "BGP Tunnel
Encapsulation Attribute sub-TLVs" registry as follows.
