1. Introduction
There are scenarios that require two or more Label Switched
Paths (LSPs) to follow same route in the network. E.g., many
deployments require member LSPs of a bundle/ aggregated link (or
Forwarding Adjacency (FA))) follow the same route. Possible
reasons for two or more LSPs to follow the same end-to-end or
partial route include, but are not limited to:
. Fate sharing: an application may require that two or more
LSPs fail together. In the example of bundle link this would
Ali, Swallow, Filsfils, et al Expires April 2014 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft draft-ali-ccamp-rsvp-te-include-route-05.txt
mean that if one component goes down, the entire bundle goes
down.
. Homogeneous Attributes: it is often required that two or more
LSPs have the same TE metrics like latency, latency variation,
etc. In the example of a bundle/ aggregated link this would
meet the requirement that all component links (FAs) of a
bundle should have same latency and latency variation. As
noted in [OSPF-TE-METRIC] and [ISIS-TE-METRIC], in certain
networks, such as financial information networks, network
performance (e.g. latency and latency variation) is becoming
critical and hence having bundles with component links (FAs)
with homogeneous latency and latency variation is important.
The RSVP-TE specification [RFC3209] and GMPLS extensions to
RSVP-TE [RFC3473] allow abstract nodes and resources to be
explicitly included in a path setup, e.g., using IPv4 prefix ERO
subobject [RFC3209], IPv6 prefix ERO subobject [RFC3209] and
Unnumbered Interface ID ERO subobject [RFC3477], etc. However,
such inclusion may not be possible in the following scenarios:
. Inclusion of an LSP path which, while known at the source
node of the to-be-signaled LSP, where the required detail of
the route is incomplete or unavailable, e.g. due to
confidentiality of the path attributes. Such cases are likely
to arise in Inter-domain and GMPLS overlay networks.
These use-cases require the relevant path-inclusion information
to be communicated to the route expanding nodes. This document
defines the necessary information, encodings, and procedures.
This document assumes that node expanding the route is normally a
hop of the included LSP. However, there is a race condition in
which included LSP is yet to be signaled. This draft addresses
this race condition, as detailed in Section 2.2.
2. RSVP-TE signaling extensions
New IPv4 and IPv6 Point-to-Point (P2P) Path ERO subobject types
are defined in this document. These ERO subobjects are used to
communicate path inclusion requirements to the ERO expanding
node(s). For this purpose, the subobjects carry RSVP-TE
Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) of the reference LSP who's
Path is be used to expand the loose hop of the LSP being
signaled.

L
The L bit is an attribute of the subobject. The L bit is
set if the subobject represents a loose hop in the ERO.
If the bit is not set, the subobject represents a strict
hop in the explicit route.
This document only defines the use of the subobject in
loose hopes in the ERO, i.e., L bit MUST of set to 1.
Type
IPv4 Point-to-Point Path ERO subobject
(to be assigned by IANA; suggested value: 38).
Length
The length contains the total length of the subobject in
bytes, including the type and length fields. The length is
always 24.
M bit: When "mandatory inclusion" bit is set, the route of the
LSP being signaled MUST follow the path specified by the Path
ERO subobject. When mandatory inclusion is not set, the route

Internet-Draft draft-ali-ccamp-rsvp-te-include-route-05.txt
of the LSP being signaled SHOULD follow the path specified by
the Path ERO subobject.
The remaining fields are used to specify RSVP-TE FEC of the
reference LSP who's Path is be used to expand the route of the
LSP being signaled. Specifically,
Tunnel ID
Tunnel ID of the reference LSP who's Path is be used to
expand the route of the LSP being signaled.
Extended Tunnel ID
Extended Tunnel ID of the reference LSP who's Path is be
used to expand the route of the LSP being signaled.

expand the route of the LSP being signaled.

L
The L bit is an attribute of the subobject. The L bit is
set if the subobject represents a loose hop in the ERO.
If the bit is not set, the subobject represents a strict
hop in the explicit route.
This document only defines the use of the subobject in
loose hopes in the ERO, i.e., L bit MUST of set to 1.
Type
IPv6 Point-to-Point Path ERO subobject
(to be assigned by IANA; suggested value: 39).
Length
The length contains the total length of the subobject in
bytes, including the type and length fields. The length is
always 48.

Internet-Draft draft-ali-ccamp-rsvp-te-include-route-05.txt
M bit: The M bit usage is as defined for the M bit of IPv4
Point-to-Point Path ERO subobject.
The remaining fields are used to specific RSVP-TE FEC of the
reference LSP who's Path is be used to expand the route of the
LSP being signaled, as detailed in Section 2.1.
2.3. Processing rules for Path ERO subobjects
The basic processing rules of an ERO are not altered. Please
refer to [RFC3209] for details.
If an LSR strips all local subobjects from an ERO carried in a
Path message (according to the procedures in [RFC3209]) and
finds that the next subobject is an IPv4 P2P Path ERO subobject
or IPv6 P2P LSP subject, it MUST attempt to resolve the Path ERO
subobject as described in the following.
If the L bit of the Path ERO subobject is not set, i.e., the
subobject represents a strict hop in the explicit route, the
processing node MUST respond with a PathErr message with the
error code "Routing Problem" (24) and the error value "Bad
initial subobject" (4).
If the M bit is set, the processing node follows the following
procedure:
- If the path taken by the LSP referenced in the Path ERO
subobject is known to the processing node and the path
contains the loose abstract node in the ERO hop, the
processing node MUST ensure that loose hop expansion to the
next abstract node follows the referenced path.
- If the path taken by the LSP referenced in the Path ERO
subobject does not contain the loose abstract node in the ERO
hop, the processing node MUST sent a PathErr message with the
error code "Routing Problem" (24) and the new error value
"unknown or inconsistent LSP suboject" (value to be assigned
by IANA) for the signaled LSP.
- If the path referenced in the LSP subobject is unknown to the
processing node, the processing node SHOULD ignore the Path
ERO subobject and SHOULD proceed with the signaling request.
After sending the Resv for the signaled LSP, the processing
node SHOULD return a PathErr with the error code "Notify
Ali, Swallow, Filsfils, et al Expires April 2014 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft draft-ali-ccamp-rsvp-te-include-route-05.txt
Error" (25) and error sub-code "TBD" (value to be assigned by
IANA, suggested value: TBD) for the signaled LSP.
If the M bit is not set, the processing node follows the
following procedure:
- If the path taken by the LSP referenced in the Path ERO
subobject is known to the processing node and the path
contains the loose abstract node in the ERO hop, the
processing node SHOULD ensure that loose hop expansion to the
next abstract node follows the referenced path.
- If the path taken by the LSP referenced in the Path ERO
subobject is unknown to the processing node and/ or the
referenced path does not contain the loose abstract node in
the ERO hop, the processing node SHOULD ignore the route
inclusion specified in the Path ERO subobject and SHOULD
compute a suitable path to the loose abstract node in the ERO
hop and proceed with the signaling request. After sending the
Resv for the signaled LSP, the processing node SHOULD return a
PathErr with the error code "Notify Error" (25) and error sub-
code " unknown or inconsistent LSP suboject" (value to be
assigned by IANA) for the signaled LSP.
3. Security Considerations
This document does not introduce any additional security issues
above those identified in [RFC5920], [RFC2205], [RFC3209], and
[RFC3473] and [RFC4874].
4. IANA Considerations
4.1. New ERO subobject types
This document adds the following new subobject of the existing
entry for ERO (20, EXPLICIT_ROUTE):
Value Description
----- ------------
TBA IPv4 Point-to-Point Path ERO
subobject
TBA IPv6 Point-to-Point Path ERO
subobject
Ali, Swallow, Filsfils, et al Expires April 2014 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft draft-ali-ccamp-rsvp-te-include-route-05.txt
These subobject may be present in the Explicit Route Object, but
not in the Route Record Object.
4.2. New RSVP error sub-codes
IANA registry: RSVP PARAMETERS
Subsection: Error Codes and Globally-Defined Error Value Sub-
Codes
For Error Code "Routing Problem" (24) (see [RFC3209]) the
following sub-codes are defined.
Sub-code Value
-------- -----
Unknown or inconsistent LSP suboject To be assigned by IANA.
For Error Code "Notify Error" (25) (see [RFC3209]) the following
sub-codes are defined.
Sub-code Value
-------- -----
Unknown or inconsistent LSP suboject To be assigned by IANA.
