Internet-Draft Performance and Liveness Monitoring in SR July 2020
1. Introduction
Segment Routing (SR) leverages the source routing paradigm and
greatly simplifies network operations for Software Defined Networks
(SDNs). SR is applicable to both Multiprotocol Label Switching (SR-
MPLS) and IPv6 (SRv6) data planes [RFC8402]. SR takes advantage of
the Equal-Cost Multipaths (ECMPs) between source and transit nodes,
between transit nodes and between transit and destination nodes. SR
Policies as defined in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy] are
used to steer traffic through a specific, user-defined paths using a
stack of Segments. Built-in Liveness Monitoring for detecting faults
as well as Performance Delay Measurement (DM) and Loss Measurement
(LM) are essential requirements to provide Service Level Agreements
(SLAs) in SR networks.
The One-Way Active Measurement Protocol (OWAMP) defined in [RFC4656]
and Two-Way Active Measurement Protocol (TWAMP) defined in [RFC5357]
provide capabilities for the measurement of various performance
metrics in IP networks using probe messages. The TWAMP Light
[Appendix I in RFC5357] and the Simple Two-way Active Measurement
Protocol (STAMP) [RFC8762] provide simplified mechanisms for active
performance measurement in IP networks, alleviating the need for
control-channel signaling by using configuration data model to
provision a test-channel.
[I-D.gandhi-spring-twamp-srpm] defines procedure for performance
measurement using TWAMP Light messages with user-defined IP/UDP paths
in SR networks. [I-D.gandhi-spring-stamp-srpm] defines similar
procedure using STAMP messages in SR networks. The procedure for
one-way and two-way modes defined for delay measurement can also be
applied to liveness monitoring of SR Paths. However, it limits the
scale for number of PM sessions and fault detection interval since
the probe query messages need to be punted from the forwarding path
(to slow path or control plane) and response messages need to be
injected.
For Liveness Monitoring, Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection
(S-BFD) [RFC7880] can be used in Segment Routing networks. However,
S-BFD requires protocol support on the reflector node to process the
S-BFD packets as packets need to be punted from the forwarding path
in order to send the reply thereby limiting the scale for number of
PM sessions and fault detection interval. In addition, S-BFD
protocol does not have the capability today to enable performance
delay monitoring in SR networks. Enabling multiple protocols in SR
networks, S-BFD for liveness monitoring and TWAMP Light or STAMP for
performance delay monitoring increases the deployment and operational
complexities in SR networks.

Internet-Draft Performance and Liveness Monitoring in SR July 2020
This document defines procedure for Enhanced Performance Delay and
Liveness Monitoring (PDLM) in Segment Routing networks. The
procedure uses the probe messages defined in [RFC5357] (TWAMP Light)
and [RFC8762] (STAMP) for end-to-end SR Paths including SR Policies
with both SR-MPLS and SRv6 data planes.

2.3. Reference Topology
In the reference topology shown below, the nodes R1 and R5 are
connected via Point-to-Point (P2P) SR Path such as SR Policy
[I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy] originating on node R1 with
endpoint on node R5.

(Simply Forward)
Figure 1: Reference Topology
2.4. Loopback Mode
In loopback mode, the sender node R1 initiates probe messages and the
reflector node R5 forwards them back to the sender node R1 just like
data packets for the normal traffic. The probe messages are not
punted at the reflector node and it does not process them and
generate response messages. The reflector node must not drop the
loopback probe messages, for example, due to a local policy
provisioned on the node.
3. Probe Messages
The TWAMP Light probe messages for delay measurement as defined in
[RFC5357] or STAMP probe messages as defined in [RFC8762] are sent by
the sender node R1 towards the reflector node R5 in loopback mode as
shown in Figure 1. The probe messages are sent by the sender node on
the congruent path of the data traffic flowing on the SR Path.
Both Source and Destination UDP ports in the probe messages are
allocated dynamically or user-configured from the range specified in
[RFC8762] and are different than the ports used for TWAMP Light and
STAMP sessions. The Source and Destination IP addresses in the probe
messages are set to the reflector and the sender node addresses,
Gandhi, et al. Expires January 12, 2021 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Performance and Liveness Monitoring in SR July 2020
respectively (representing the reverse path). The IPv4 Time To Live
(TTL) and IPv6 Hop Limit (HL) are set to 255.
No PM session is created on the reflector node R5. As the probe
message is not punted on the reflector node for processing, the
Sender copies the 'Sequence Number' in 'Session-Sender Sequence
Number' field directly. Also, the Sender Timestamp, Sender Error
Estimate and Sender TTL fields [RFC5357] [RFC8762] in the probe
message are not used. The rest of the fields are set as defined in
[RFC5357] [RFC8762]
Timestamp format preferred is 64-bit PTPv2 [IEEE1588] as specified in
[RFC8186], implemented in hardware. The NTP timestamp format MUST be
supported [RFC5357], however, since PTPv2 is widely used, it SHOULD
also be supported. In addition to adding the timestamp in the
message, the "Error Estimate" field in the payload of the message can
be updated using the procedure defined in [RFC4656].

The mechanisms to provision the sender and reflector nodes are
outside the scope of this document.
4. Performance Delay and Liveness Monitoring
For performance delay and liveness monitoring of an end-to-end SR
Path including SR Policy, PM probes in loopback mode is used. The PM
probe messages are sent by the sender (head-end) node R1 to the
reflector (endpoint) node R5 of the SR Policy as shown in Figure 1.
The probe messages are sent using the Segment List (SL) of the
Candidate-paths of the SR Policy
[I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy]. When a Candidate-path has
more than one Segment Lists, multiple probe messages are sent, one
using each Segment List. The return probe messages are received by
the sender node via IP/UDP [RFC0768] return path by default. The
Segment List of the return SR path can be added in the probe message
header to receive the return probe message on a specific path using
the mechanisms defined in [I-D.ietf-pce-binding-label-sid] and
[I-D.ietf-pce-sr-bidir-path].
4.1. Probe Message for SR-MPLS
The TWAMP Light or STAMP probe messages for SR-MPLS data plane are
sent using the MPLS header containing the label stack of the SR
Policy as shown in Figure 3. In case of IP/UDP return path, the MPLS
header is removed by the reflector node. The label stack can contain
a reverse SR-MPLS path to receive the return probe message on a
specific path. In this case, the MPLS header will not be removed by
the reflector node.

4.2. Probe Message for SRv6
The TWAMP Light or STAMP probe messages for SRv6 data plane are sent
using the Segment Routing Header (SRH) [RFC8754] containing the
Segment List of the SR Policy as shown in Figure 4. In case of IP/
UDP return path, the SRH is removed by the reflector node. The
Segment List can contain a reverse SRv6 path to receive the return
probe message on a specific path. In this case, the SRH will not be
removed by the reflector node.

5. Enhanced Performance Delay and Liveness Monitoring
The enhanced performance delay and liveness monitoring of an end-to-
end SR Path including SR Policy is defined using the PM probes in
"loopback mode enabled with network programming".
5.1. Loopback Mode Enabled with Network Programming
In "loopback mode enabled with network programming", both transmit
(t1) and receive (t2) timestamps in data plane are collected by the
probe messages sent in loopback mode as shown in Figure 5. The
network programming function optimizes the "operations of punt, add
receive timestamp and inject the probe packet" on the reflector node
and it is implemented in hardware. The payload of the probe message
is not modified by any intermediate nodes.

Figure 5: Loopback Mode Enabled with Network Programming
The sender node adds transmit (t1) timestamp in the payload of the
TWAMP Light or STAMP probe message and clears the receive (t2)
timestamp. The reflector node adds the receive timestamp in the
payload of the received probe message without punting the message to
slow-path (or control-plane). The reflector node only adds the
receive timestamp if the source or destination address in the probe
message matches the local node address to ensure that the receive
timestamp is returned by the intended reflector node.
The network programming function enables the node to add receive
timestamp in the payload of the probe message at a specific offset
which is locally provisioned consistently in the network. In TWAMP
Light message defined in Section 4.2.1 of [RFC5357] or STAMP message
defined in [RFC8762] for delay measurement, the 64-bit receive
timestamp is added at byte-offset 16 which is from the start of the
payload.
5.2. Probe Message with Network Programming for SR-MPLS
In this document, new Timestamp Label (value TBD1) is defined for SR-
MPLS data plane to enable network programming function for
"timestamp, pop and forward" the received packet.
In the probe message for SR-MPLS, Timestamp Label is added in the
MPLS header as shown in Figure 6, to collect "Receive Timestamp"
field in the payload of the TWAMP Light [RFC5357] or STAMP probe
message. The label stack for the reverse SR-MPLS path can be added
after the Timestamp Label to receive the return probe message on a
specific path. When a node receives a message with Timestamp Label,
after timestamping the message at a specific offset, the node pops
the Timestamp Label and forwards the message using the next label or
IP header in the message (just like the data packets for the normal
traffic).

5.2.1. Node Capability for Timestamp Label
The ingress node needs to know if the egress node can process the
Timestamp Label. The signaling extension for this capability
exchange is outside the scope of this document.
Another way is to leverage a centralized controller (e.g., SDN
controller) to program the ingress and egress nodes. In this case,
the controller MUST make sure (e.g., by some capability discovery
mechanisms outside the scope of this document) that the egress node
can process the Timestamp Label.
5.2.2. Timestamp Label Allocation
Timestamp Label (value TBA1) can be allocated using one of the
following methods:
Gandhi, et al. Expires January 12, 2021 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft Performance and Liveness Monitoring in SR July 2020
o Labels assigned by IANA with value TBA1 from the Extended Special-
Purpose MPLS Values [I-D.ietf-mpls-spl-terminology].
o Labels allocated by a Controller from the global table of the
egress node. The Controller provisions the label on both ingress
and egress nodes.
o Labels allocated by the egress node. The signaling or IGP
flooding extension for this is outside the scope of this document.
5.3. Probe Message with Network Programming for SRv6
In this document, new Endpoint function "Timestamp and Forward (TSF)"
(value TBD2) is defined for Segment Routing Header (SRH) [RFC8754]
for SRv6 data plane to enable network programming function for
"timestamp and forward" the received message.
In the probe message for SRv6, END.TSF function is added for the
Endpoint Segment Identifier (SID) in SRH [RFC8754] as shown in
Figure 7, to collect "Receive Timestamp" field in the payload of the
TWAMP Light [RFC5357] or STAMP probe message. When a node receives a
packet with END.TSF function for the target SID which is local, after
timestamping the packet at a specific offset, the node forwards the
packet using the next SID or IP header in the packet (just like the
packets for the normal traffic).

6. ECMP Handling
An SR Policy can have ECMPs between the source and transit nodes,
between transit nodes and between transit and destination nodes. The
PM probe messages need to be sent to traverse different ECMP paths to
monitor the liveness for an end-to-end SR Policy.
Forwarding plane has various hashing functions available to forward
packets on specific ECMP paths. In IPv4 header of the PM probe
messages, sweeping of Destination Address in 127/8 range can be used
to exercise different ECMP paths in the loopback mode as long as the
return path is also SR-MPLS. The Flow Label field in the outer IPv6
header can also be used for sweeping to exercise different ECMP
paths.
7. Failure Notification
Liveness failure for SR Path is notified when consecutive N number of
return probe messages are not received at the sender node, where N
(Missed Probe Message Count) is locally provisioned value.
Similarly, delay metrics are notified when consecutive M number of
Gandhi, et al. Expires January 12, 2021 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft Performance and Liveness Monitoring in SR July 2020
probe messages have measured delay values exceed user-configured
thresholds (absolute and percentage), where M is also locally
provisioned value.
In loopback mode, the timestamps t1 and t4 are used to measure round-
trip delay. In loopback mode enabled with network programming, the
timestamps t1 and t2 are used to measure one-way delay.
8. Security Considerations
The Performance Delay and Liveness Monitoring is intended for
deployment in the well-managed private and service provider networks.
As such, it assumes that a node involved in a monitoring operation
has previously verified the integrity of the path and the identity of
the reflector node. If desired, attacks can be mitigated by
performing basic validation and sanity checks, at the sender, of the
timestamp fields in received probe messages. The minimal state
associated with these protocols also limits the extent of disruption
that can be caused by a corrupt or invalid message to a single probe
cycle. Use of HMAC-SHA-256 in the authenticated mode protects the
data integrity of the probe messages. Cryptographic measures may be
enhanced by the correct configuration of access-control lists and
firewalls.
9. IANA Considerations
IANA maintains the "Special-Purpose Multiprotocol Label Switching
(MPLS) Label Values" registry (see <https://www.iana.org/assignments/
mpls-label-values/mpls-label-values.xml>). IANA is requested to
allocate Timestamp Label value from the "Extended Special-Purpose
MPLS Label Values" registry:

IANA is requested to allocate, within the "SRv6 Endpoint Behaviors
Registry" sub-registry belonging to the top-level "Segment-routing
with IPv6 data plane (SRv6) Parameters" registry
