1. Introduction

   BGP Flow-spec is an extension to BGP that allows for the
   dissemination of traffic flow specification rules.  It leverages the
   BGP Control Plane to simplify the distribution of ACLs, new filter
   rules can be injected to all BGP peers simultaneously without
   changing router configuration. The typical application of BGP Flow-
   spec is to automate the distribution of traffic filter lists to
   routers for DDOS mitigation.

Internet-Draft             EVPN Flow Spec                  August 2014


   RFC5575 defines a new BGP Network Layer Reachability Information
   (NLRI) format used to distribute traffic flow specification rules.
   NLRI (AFI=1, SAFI=133)is for IPv4 unicast filtering. NLRI (AFI=1,
   SAFI=134)is for BGP/MPLS VPN filtering. The Flow specification match
   part only includes L3/L4 information like source/destination prefix,
   protocol, ports, and etc, so traffic flows can only be selectively
   filtered based on L3/L4 information.

   BGP MPLS based Ethernet VPNs(EVPN)[EVPN] is being deployed in an
   increasing number of WAN networks. In [EVPN-OVERLAY], EVPN also can
   be deployed within a data center using layer 2 overlays like VXLAN,
   NVGRE, and etc. In EVPN network, we also have requirement to deploy
   BGP Flow-spec to mitigate DDoS attack traffic. Within EVPN network,
   both IP and non-IP Ethernet traffic maybe exist. For IP traffic
   filtering, the Flow specification rules defined in [RFC5575] which
   include match criteria and actions can still be used, flow
   specification rules received via new NLRI format apply only to
   traffic that belongs to the MAC VRF(s) in which it is imported. For
   non-IP Ethernet traffic filtering, Layer 2 related information like
   source/destination MAC and VLAN should be considered. But the flow
   specification match criteria defined in RFC5575 only include layer 3
   and layer 4 IP information, layer 2 Ethernet information haven't
   been included.

   This document proposes a new BGP NLRI type (AFI=25, SAFI=TBD) value,
   which can be used to propagate traffic filtering information in an
   EVPN environment. The new specific (AFI, SAFI) pair is to identify
   EVPN flow-spec application. A new subset of component types and
   extended community also are defined.

2. Ethernet Flow Specification encoding in BGP

   A new BGP NLRI type (AFI=25, SAFI=TBD) value is proposed to identify
   EVPN flow-spec application.

   Flow specification rules received via this NLRI apply only to
   traffic that belongs to the MAC VRF(s) in which it is imported. Flow
   rules are accepted by default, when received from remote PE routers.

   Besides the component types defined in [RFC5575], this document
   proposes the following additional component types for EVPN Ethernet
   traffic filtering:

   Type 13 - Source MAC

   Encoding: <type (1 octet), [op, value]+>



Hao & Liu,et,al       Expires February 20, 2015               [Page 3]


Internet-Draft             EVPN Flow Spec                  August 2014


   Defines a list of {operation, value} pairs used to match source MAC.
   Values are encoded as 1-byte to 6-byte quantities.

   Type 14 - Destination MAC

   Encoding: <type (1 octet), [op, value]+>

   Defines a list of {operation, value} pairs used to match destination
   MAC. Values are encoded as 1-byte to 6-byte quantities.

   Type 15 - Ethernet Type

   Encoding: <type (1 octet), [op, value]+>

   Defines a list of {operation, value} pairs used to match two-octet
   field. Values are encoded as 1- or 2-byte quantities.

   Type 16 - VLAN ID

   Encoding: <type (1 octet), [op, value]+>

   Defines a list of {operation, value} pairs used to match VLAN ID.
   Values are encoded as 1- or 2-byte quantities.

   Type 17 - VLAN COS

   Encoding: <type (1 octet), [op, value]+>

   Defines a list of {operation, value} pairs used to match 3-bit VLAN
   COS fields [802.1p]. Values are encoded using a single byte, where
   the five most significant bits are zero and the three least
   significant bits contain the VLAN COS value.

   Type 18 - VN ID

   Encoding: <type (1 octet), [op, value]+>

   Defines a list of {operation, value} pairs used to match 24-bit VN
   ID fields. VN ID is tenant identification in NVO3 network. Values
   are encoded as 1- to 3-byte quantities.

3. Ethernet Flow Specification Traffic Actions

   +--------+--------------------+--------------------------+
   |  type  | extended community |        encoding          |
   +--------+--------------------+--------------------------+
   | 0x8006 | traffic-rate       | 2-byte as#, 4-byte float |
   | 0x8007 | traffic-action     | bitmask                  |
   | 0x8008 | redirect           | 6-byte Route Target      |
   | 0x8009 | traffic-marking    | DSCP value               |
   +--------+--------------------+--------------------------+
   Besides to support the above extended communities per RFC5575, this
   document also proposes the following BGP extended communities
   specifications for Ethernet flow to extend [RFC5575]:

   +--------+--------------------+--------------------------+
   | type   | extended community | encoding                 |
   +--------+--------------------+--------------------------+
   | 0x800A | VLAN COS marking   | COS value                |
   +--------+--------------------+--------------------------+
   The VLAN COS marking extended community instructs a system to modify
   the COS bits of a transiting Ethernet packet to the corresponding
   value. This extended community is encoded as a sequence of 5 zero
   bytes followed by the VLAN COS value encoded in the 3 least
   significant bits of 6th byte.


4. Security Considerations

   No new security issues are introduced to the BGP protocol by this
   specification.

5. IANA Considerations

   IANA is requested to allocate a new SAFI to identify EVPN flow-spec
   application.

   IANA is requested to create and maintain a new registry entitled:
   "Flow spec MPLS Component Types":

   Type 13 - Source MAC

   Type 14 - Destination MAC

   Type 15 - Ethernet Type

   Type 16 - VLAN ID

   Type 17 - VLAN COS

   Type 18 - VN ID

   IANA is requested to update the reference for the following
   assignment in the "BGP Extended Communities Type - extended,
   transitive" registry:
