BGP-LS Extensions for Segment Routing based Enhanced VPN
draft-dong-idr-bgpls-sr-enhanced-vpn-02
Abstract
Enhanced VPN (VPN+) is an enhancement to VPN services to support the
needs of new applications, particularly including the applications
that are associated with 5G services. These applications require
enhanced isolation and have more stringent performance requirements
than that can be provided with traditional overlay VPNs. An enhanced
VPN may be used for 5G transport network slicing, and will also be of
use in more generic scenarios. To meet the requirement of enhanced
VPN services, a number of Virtual Transport Networks (VTNs) need to
be created, each with a subset of the underlay network topology and a
set of network resources allocated to meet the requirement of a
specific VPN+ service, or a group of VPN+ services.
This document specifies the BGP-LS mechanisms with necessary
extensions to advertise the information of Segment Routing (SR) based
VTNs. The proposed mechanism is applicable to both segment routing
with MPLS data plane (SR-MPLS) and segment routing with IPv6 data
plane (SRv6).

Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SR VPN+ June 2020
1. Introduction
Enhanced VPN (VPN+) is an enhancement to VPN services to support the
needs of new applications, particularly including the applications
that are associated with 5G services. These applications require
enhanced isolation and have more stringent performance requirements
than that can be provided with traditional overlay VPNs. These
properties cannot be met with pure overlay networks, as they require
integration between the underlay and the overlay networks.
[I-D.ietf-teas-enhanced-vpn] specifies the framework of enhanced VPN
and describes the candidate component technologies in different
network planes and layers. An enhanced VPN can be used for 5G
transport network slicing, and will also be of use in more generic
scenarios.
To meet the requirement of enhanced VPN services, a number of Virtual
Transport Networks (VTNs) need to be created, each with a subset of
the underlay network topology and a set of network resources
allocated to meet the requirement of a specific VPN+ service or a
group of VPN+ services.
[I-D.dong-spring-sr-for-enhanced-vpn] specifies how segment routing
(SR) [RFC8402] can be used to build virtual transport networks (VTNs)
with the required network topology and network resources, which could
be used as the underlay of enhanced VPN services.
[I-D.dong-lsr-sr-enhanced-vpn] specifies the IGP mechanism and
extensions to build a set of SR based VTNs. When a VTN spans
multiple IGP areas or multiple Autonomous Systems (ASes), BGP-LS is
needed to advertise the VTN information in each IGP area or AS to the
network controller, so that the controller could use the collected
information to build the inter-area or inter-AS SR VTNs.
This document describes BGP-LS [RFC7752] based mechanism with
necessary extensions to advertise the topology and resource attribute
of inter-area and inter-domain SR based VTNs. The definition of VTN
is advertised as a node attribute using BGP-LS. The associated
network topology and resources attributes of a VTN are advertised as
link attribute using BGP-LS.
2. Advertisement of VTN Definition
According to [I-D.ietf-teas-enhanced-vpn], a VTN has a customized
network topology and a set of dedicated or shared network resources.
Thus a VTN can be defined as the combination of a set of network
attributes, which include the topology attribute and other
attributes, such as the associated network resources.

dependent on the included Sub-TLVs.
o VTN ID: A global significant 32-bit identifier which is used to
identify a virtual transport network.
o MT-ID: 16-bit identifier which indicates the multi-topology
identifier of the IGP topology.
o Algorithm: 8-bit identifier which indicates the algorithm which
applies to this virtual transport network. It can be either a
normal algorithm in [RFC8402] or a Flex-Algorithm
[I-D.ietf-lsr-flex-algo].
o Flags: 8-bit flags. Currently all the flags are reserved for
future use. They SHOULD be set to zero on transmission and MUST
be ignored on receipt.
o Sub-TLVs: optional sub-TLVs to specify the additional attributes
of a virtual transport network. Currently no sub-TLV is defined
in this document.

3. Advertisement of VTN Topology Attribute
[I-D.dong-lsr-sr-enhanced-vpn] describes the IGP mechanisms to
distribute the topology attributes of SR based VTNs. This section
describes the BGP-LS mechanism to distribute both the intra-domain
and inter-domain topology attributes of SR based VTNs.
3.1. Intra-domain Topology Advertisement
3.1.1. MTR based Topology Advertisement
In section 3.2.1.5 of [RFC7752], Multi-Topology Identifier (MT-ID)
TLV is defined, which can contain one or more IS-IS or OSPF Multi-
Topology IDs. The MT-ID TLV MAY be present in a Link Descriptor, a
Prefix Descriptor, or the BGP-LS Attribute of a Node NLRI.
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgp-ls-segment-routing-ext] defines the BGP-LS
extensions to carry the segment routing information using TLVs of
BGP-LS Attribute. When MTR is used with SR-MPLS data plane,
topology-specific prefix-SIDs and topology-specific Adj-SIDs can be
carried in the BGP-LS Attribute associated with the prefix NLRI and
link NLRI respectively, the MT-ID TLV is carried in the prefix
descriptor and link descriptor to identify the corresponding topology
of the SIDs.
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext] defines the BGP-LS extensions to
advertise SRv6 segments along with their functions and attributes.
When MTR is used with SRv6 data plane, the SRv6 Locator TLV is
carried in the BGP-LS Attribute associated with the prefix-NLRI, the
MT-ID TLV can be carried in the prefix descriptor to identify the
corresponding topology of the SRv6 Locator. The SRv6 End.X SIDs are
carried in the BGP-LS Attribute associated with the link NLRI, the
MT-ID TLV can be carried in the link descriptor to identify the
corresponding topology of the End.X SIDs. The SRv6 SID NLRI is
defined to advertise other types of SRv6 SIDs, in which the SRv6 SID
Descriptors can include the MT-ID TLV so as to advertise topology-
specific SRv6 SIDs.
[RFC7752] also defines the rules of the usage of MT-ID TLV:
"In a Link or Prefix Descriptor, only a single MT-ID TLV containing
the MT-ID of the topology where the link or the prefix is reachable
is allowed. In case one wants to advertise multiple topologies for a
given Link Descriptor or Prefix Descriptor, multiple NLRIs need to be
generated where each NLRI contains an unique MT-ID. In the BGP-LS
attribute of a Node NLRI, one MT-ID TLV containing the array of MT-
IDs of all topologies where the node is reachable is allowed."
Dong, et al. Expires December 25, 2020 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SR VPN+ June 2020
Editor's note: the above rules indicates that only one MT-ID is
allowed to be carried the Link or Prefix descriptors. When a link or
prefix participates in multiple topologies, multiple NLRIs needs to
be generated to report all the topologies a link or prefix
participates in, together with the topology-specific segment routing
information. This would increase the number of BGP Updates and may
introduce additional processing burden to both the sending BGP
speaker and the receiving network controller. When the number of
topologies in a network is not a small number, some optimization may
be introduced for the reporting of multi-topology information and the
associated segment routing information in BGP-LS. Based on the WG's
This will be elaborated in a future version.
3.1.2. Flex-Algo based Topology Advertisement
The Flex-Algo definition [I-D.ietf-lsr-flex-algo] can be used to
describe the topological constraints for path computation on a
network topology. As specified in [I-D.dong-lsr-sr-enhanced-vpn],
the topology of a VTN can be determined by applying Flex-Algo on a
default topology.
BGP-LS extensions for Flex-Algo [I-D.ietf-idr-bgp-ls-flex-algo]
provide the mechanisms to advertise the Flex-Algo definition
information. BGP-LS extensions for SR-MPLS
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgp-ls-segment-routing-ext] and SRv6
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext] provide the mechanism to advertise the
algorithm-specific segment routing information.
In[I-D.ietf-idr-bgp-ls-segment-routing-ext], algorithm-specific
prefix-SIDs can be advertised in BGP-LS attribute associated with
Prefix NLRI. In [I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext], algorithm-specific
SRv6 Locators can be advertised in the Prefix NLRI with the SRv6
Locator TLV carried in the associated BGP-LS Attribute, and
algorithm-specific End.X SID can be advertised in BGP-LS Attribute
associated with the corresponding Link NLRI. Other types of SRv6
SIDs can also be algorithm-specific and are advertised using the SRv6
SID NLRI .
3.2. Inter-Domain Topology Advertisement
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-segment-routing-epe] and
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext] defines the BGP-LS extensions for
advertisement of BGP topology information between ASes and the BGP
Peering Segment Identifiers. Such information could be used by a
network controller for the computation and instantiation of inter-AS
traffic engineering SR paths.
Dong, et al. Expires December 25, 2020 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SR VPN+ June 2020
In some network scenarios, VTNs which span multiple ASes need to be
created. The multi-domain VTNs could have different inter-domain
connectivity, and may be associated with different set of network
resources in each domain and also on the inter-domain links. In
order to build the multi-domain VTNs using segment routing, it is
necessary to advertise the topology and resource attribute of VTN on
the inter-domain links and the associated BGP Peering SIDs.
Depending on the requirement of inter-domain VTNs, different
mechanism can be used on the inter-domain connection:
o One EBGP session between two ASes can be established over multiple
underlying links. In this case, different underlying links can be
used for different inter-domain VTNs which requires link isolation
between each other. In another similar case, the EBGP session is
established over a single link, while the network resource (e.g.
bandwidth) on this link can be partitioned into several pieces,
each of which can be considered as a virtual member link. In both
cases, different BGP Peer-Adj-SIDs SHOULD be allocated to each
underlying physical or virtual member link, and ASBRs SHOULD
advertise the VTN identifier associated with each BGP Peer-Adj-
SID.
o For inter-domain connection between two ASes, multiple EBGP
sessions can be established between different set of peering
ASBRs. It is possible that some of these BGP sessions are used
for one multi-domain VTN, while some other BGP sessions are used
for another multi-domain VTN. In this case, different BGP peer-
node-SIDs are allocated to each BGP session, and ASBRs SHOULD
advertise the VTN identifier associated with each BGP Peer-node-
SIDs.
o At the AS-level topology, different multi-domain VTNs may have
different inter-domain connectivity. Different BGP Peer-Set-SIDs
can be allocated to represent the groups of BGP peers which can be
used for load-balancing in each multi-domain VTN.
In network scenarios where the MT-ID or Flex-Algo is used
consistently in multiple ASes covered by a VTN. the approaches to
advertise topology-specific BGP peering SIDs are described as below:
o Using MT-based mechanism, the topology-specific BGP peering SIDs
can be advertised with the MT-ID associated with the VTN carried
in the corresponding link NLRI. This can be supported with the
existing mechanisms defined in
[RFC7752][I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-segment-routing-epe] and
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext].
Dong, et al. Expires December 25, 2020 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SR VPN+ June 2020
o Using Flex-Algo based mechanism, the topology-specific BGP peering
SIDs can be advertised together with the admin-group (color) of
the corresponding Flex-Algo in the BGP-LS attribute.
In network scenarios where consistent usage of MT-ID or Flex-Algo
among multiple ASes can not be expected, then the global-significant
VTN-ID can be used to define the AS level topologies. Within each
domain, the MT or Flex-Algo based mechanism could still be used for
topology advertisement.
3.2.1. VTN ID TLV
A new VTN ID TLV is defined to describe the identifiers of one or
more VTNs an intra-domain or inter-domain link belongs to. It can be
carried in BGP-LS attribute which is associated with a Link NLRI, or
it could be carried as a sub-TLV in the L2 Bundle Member Attribute
TLV.
The format of VTN ID TLV is as below:
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

~ ... ~
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| VTN ID-n |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Where:
o Type: TBD
o Length: The length of the value field of the sub-TLV. It is
variable dependent on the number of VTN IDs included.
o Flags: 16 bit flags. All the bits are reserved, which MUST be set
to 0 on transmission and ignored on receipt.
o Reserved: this field is reserved for future use. MUST be set to 0
on transmission and ignored on receipt.
Dong, et al. Expires December 25, 2020 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SR VPN+ June 2020
o VTN IDs: One or more 32-bit identifiers to specify the VTNs this
link or member link belongs to.
4. Advertisement of VTN Resource Attribute
[I-D.dong-lsr-sr-enhanced-vpn] specifies the mechanism to advertise
the resource information associated with each VTN. It is based on
the extensions to the advertisement of L2 bundle member links
information[RFC8668]. This section defines the corresponding BGP-LS
extensions. Two new TLVs are defined to carry the VTN ID and the
link attribute flags of either a Layer 3 link or L2 bundle member
link. The new VTN ID TLV is defined in section 3.2.1 of this
document, and the new Link Attribute Flags TLV is defined in this
section. The TE attributes of each Layer 3 link or Layer 2 bundle
member link, such as the bandwidth and adj-SIDs, can be advertised
using the mechanism as defined in [I-D.ietf-idr-bgp-ls-segment-routin
g-ext][I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-segment-routing-epe] and
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext].
4.1. Link Attribute Flags TLV
A new Link attribute Flags TLV is defined to specify the
characteristics of a link. It can be carried in BGP-LS attribute
which is associated with a Link NLRI, or it could be carried as a
sub-TLV in the L2 Bundle Member Attribute TLV. The format of the
sub-TLV is as below:
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 |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Flags |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Where:
Type: TBD
Length: 4 octets.
Flags: 16-bit flags. This field is consistent with the Flag field
in IS-IS Link Attribute sub-TLV in [RFC5029]. In addition to the
flags defined in [RFC5029], A new Flag V is defined in this
document. When the V flag is set, it indicates this link is a
virtual link.

Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SR VPN+ June 2020
5. Advertisement of VTN specific Data Plane Identifiers
In network scenarios where each VTN is associated with an independent
network topology or Flex-Algo, the topology or Flex-Algo specific
SIDs or Locators could be used as the identifier of the VTN in data
plane. In network scenarios where multiple VTNs share the same
topology or Flex-Algo, additional data plane identifiers would be
needed to identify different VTNs.
This section describes the mechanisms to advertise the VTN
identifiers with different data plane encapsulations.
5.1. VTN-specific SIDs for SR-MPLS
With SR-MPLS data plane, the VTN identification information is
implicitly carried in the SR SIDs of the corresponding VTN. Each
node SHOULD allocate VTN-specific Prefix-SIDs for each VTN it
participates in. Similarly, VTN-specific Adj-SIDs MAY be allocated
for each link which participates in the VTN.
5.1.1. VTN-specific Prefix-SID TLV
A new VTN-specific Prefix-SID TLV is defined to advertise the prefix-
SID and its associated VTN. It is derived from VTN specific Prefix-
SID sub-TLV of IS-IS [I-D.dong-lsr-sr-enhanced-vpn]. The format of
the sub-TLV is as below:
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 | Flags |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| VTN ID |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| SID/Index/Label(Variable) |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Where:
o Type: TBD
o Length: The length of the value field of the sub-TLV. It is
variable dependent on the length of the SID/Index/Label field.
o Flags: 16-bit flags. The high-order 8 bits are the same as in the
Adj-SID sub-TLV defined in [RFC8667]. The lower-order 8 bits are
reserved for future use, which SHOULD be set to 0 on transmission
and MUST be ignored on receipt.
Dong, et al. Expires December 25, 2020 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SR VPN+ June 2020
o VTN ID: A 32-bit local identifier to identify the VTN this prefix-
SID associates with.
o SID/Index/Label: The same as defined in [RFC8667].
Multiple VTN-specific Prefix-SID TLV could be carried in BGP-LS
attribute of the associated Prefix NLRI. The MT-ID in the Prefix
descriptors SHOULD be the same as the MT-ID in the definition of
these VTNs.
5.1.2. VTN specific Adj-SID TLV
A new VTN-specific Adj-SID TLV is defined to advertise the Adj-SID
and its associated VTN. It is derived from VTN specific Adj-SID sub-
TLV of IS-IS [I-D.dong-lsr-sr-enhanced-vpn]. The format of the sub-
TLV is as below:
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 | Flags |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| VTN ID |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| SID/Index/Label(Variable) |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Where:
o Type: TBD
o Length: The length of the value field of the sub-TLV. It is
variable dependent on the length of the SID/Index/Label field.
o Flags: 16-bit flags. The high-order 8 bits are the same as in the
Adj-SID sub-TLV defined in [RFC8667]. The lower-order 8 bits are
reserved for future use, which SHOULD be set to 0 on transmission
and MUST be ignored on receipt.
o VTN ID: A 32-bit local identifier to identify the VTN this Adj-SID
associates with.
o SID/Index/Label: The same as defined in [RFC8667].
Multiple VTN-specific Adj-SID TLVs MAY be carried in BGP-LS attribute
of the associated Link NLRI. The MT-ID in the Link descriptors
SHOULD be the same as the MT-ID in the definition of these VTNs.
Dong, et al. Expires December 25, 2020 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SR VPN+ June 2020
5.2. VTN-specific Locators for SRv6
With SRv6 data plane, the VTN identification information can be
implicitly or explicitly carried in the SRv6 Locator of the
corresponding VTN. Network nodes SHOULD allocate VTN-specific
Locators for each VTN it participates in. The VTN-specific Locators
are used as the covering prefix of VTN-specific SRv6 End SIDs, End.X
SIDs and their variants.
Each VTN-specific SRv6 Locator MAY be advertised in a separate Prefix
NLRI. If multiple VTNs share the same topology, the topology/
algorithm specific Locator is the covering prefix of a group of VTN-
specific Locators. Then the advertisement of VTN-specific locators
can be optimized to reduce the amount of information advertised in
the control plane. More details about this mechanism will be
provided in a future version of this document.
5.3. Dedicated VTN ID in Data Plane
As the number of VTNs increases, some data plane optimization is
needed to reduce the amount of SR SIDs and locators allocated for
VTNs. Thus a dedicated VTN ID could be encapsulated in the packet as
proposed in [I-D.dong-6man-enhanced-vpn-vtn-id].
In that case, the VTN ID encapsulated in data plane can has the same
value as the VTN ID in control plane, so that the overhead of
advertising the mapping between the VTN IDs in control plane and the
corresponding data plane identifiers could be saved.
6. Security Considerations
This document introduces no additional security vulnerabilities to
BGP-LS.
The mechanism proposed in this document is subject to the same
vulnerabilities as any other protocol that relies on BGP-LS.
7. IANA Considerations
TBD
