1. Introduction

   For scalability purposes, multiple physical resources that
   interconnect LSRs can be combined to form a single traffic
   engineering (TE) link for the purposes of path computation and
   signaling.  These resources may represent one or more physical links
   that connect the LSRs, or they may represent a Label Switched Path
   (LSP) if LSP hierarchy [LSP-HIER] is used.  The management of TE
   links is not restricted to in-band messaging, but instead can be
   done using out-of-band techniques.

   The Link Management Protocol (LMP) [LMP] is being developed as part
   of the Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) protocol suite to manage traffic
   engineering (TE) links.  LMP currently consists of four main
   procedures, of which, the first two are mandatory and the last two
   are optional:

      1. Control channel management
      2. Link property correlation
      3. Link verification
      4. Fault management

   Control channel management is used to establish and maintain control
   channel connectivity between adjacent nodes.  This is done using a
   Config message exchange followed by a lightweight keep-alive message
   exchange.  Link property correlation is used to aggregate multiple
   data links into a single TE Link and to synchronize the link
   properties.  Link verification is used to verify the physical
   connectivity of the data links and to exchange the Interface_Ids of
   the data links.  Fault management is primarily used to suppress
   alarms and to localize failures in both opaque and transparent
   networks.  When LMP is used with SONET/SDH, however, the fault
   management procedures may not be needed as existing SONET/SDH
   mechanisms can be used.

   In this document, we define SONET/SDH technology specific
   information needed when running LMP.  Specifically, we define the
   SONET/SDH test procedures used for Link verification and link
   property correlation.  This requires a new trace monitoring function
   that is discussed in this document.  Once the data links have been
   verified, they can be grouped to form TE links.

3. Verifying Link Connectivity

   In [LMP], a link verification procedure is defined whereby Test
   messages are transmitted in-band over the data links.  This is used
   for data plane discovery, Interface_Id exchange (Interface_Ids are
   used in GMPLS signaling, either as port labels [GMPLS-SIG] or
   component link identifiers [BUNDLE], depending on the
   configuration), and physical connectivity verification.  Multiple
   data links can be verified using a single verification procedure;
   the correlation is done using the Verify_Id that is assigned to the
   procedure.

   As part of the link verification procedure, a BeginVerify message
   exchange is used to agree upon parameters for the Test procedure.
   This can be initiated by sending a BeginVerify message over the
   control channel.  This message includes a BEGIN_VERIFY object that
   contains a number of fields specifying, among other things, the
   transmission (bit) rate, encoding type, and transport mechanisms for
   the Test messages.  If the remote node receives a BeginVerify
   message and is ready to begin the procedure, it sends a

Internet Draft  draft-ietf-ccamp-lmp-test-sonet-sdh-00.txt   Sep. 2002

   BeginVerifyAck message specifying the desired transport mechanism
   for the Test messages.  The remote node also assigns a Verify_Id to
   the procedure and includes it in the BeginVerifyAck message.

   The transmission rate of the data link over which the Test messages
   will be transmitted is represented in IEEE floating point format
   using a 32-bit number field and expressed in bytes per second.  See
   [GMPLS-SIG] for values defined for SONET/SDH.

   The encoding type identifies the encoding supported by an interface.
   The defined encoding is consistent with the LSP Encoding Type as
   defined in [GMPLS-SIG].  For SONET/SDH, this value must equal the
   value given for "SDH ITU-T G.707/ SONET ANSI T1.105".

   The transport mechanism is defined using the Verify Transport
   Mechanism bit mask.  The scope of this bit mask is restricted to the
   link encoding type.  Multiple bits may be set when this field is
   included in the BeginVerify message; however, only one bit may be
   set when it is included in the BeginVerifyAck message.

   In the following subsection, we define the various options for
   Verify Transport Mechanism when the encoding is SONET/SDH.

3.1. Verify Transport Mechanism

   This field is 16 bits in length.

   In this document, we define the flags for SONET/SDH encoding.  Note
   that all values are defined in network byte order (i.e., big-endian
   byte order).

        0x01 J0-16: 16 byte J0 Test Message

                Capable of transmitting Test messages using J0 overhead
                bytes with frame length of 16 bytes (with CRC-7).  See
                table 9-1 of ITU G.707 [G707] for the 16-byte J0
                definition.  The definition of CRC-7 is found in Annex
                B of ITU G.707.

                Note that due to the byte limitation, the Test message
                is NOT sent as an IP packet and as such, no layer 2
                encapsulation is used.  A special Test message format
                is defined as follows:

                The Test message (i.e., the string inserted into the
                frame) is a 15-byte message, where the 7 most
                significant bits (msb) of each byte are usable.  Due to
                the byte limitation, the LMP Header is not included.

                The first usable 4 bits are reserved.  These bits MUST
                be sent as zero and ignored on receipt   The next
                usable 2 bits are used to identify the message type.

J. Lang and D. Papadimitriou                                  [Page 4]


Internet Draft  draft-ietf-ccamp-lmp-test-sonet-sdh-00.txt   Sep. 2002

                For the Test message, this value is 0.  The next usable
                bit is used to determine the address type of the
                Interface_Id.  For IPv4, this value is 0.  For
                unnumbered, this value is 1.  The next usable 32 bits
                MUST be the Interface_Id.  The next usable 32 bits MUST
                be the Verify_Id that was received in the VERIFY_ID
                object of the BeginVerifyAck message.  The remaining
                bits are reserved and should be sent as zero and
                ignored on receipt.

                Note that this Test Message format is only valid when
                the Interface_Id is either IPv4 or unnumbered.

        0x02 J0-64: 64 byte J0 Test Message

                Capable of transmitting Test messages using J0 overhead
                bytes with frame length of 64 bytes (see [T1105]).
                Note that this is only appropriate for SONET encoding
                and not SDH encoding.

                The Test message is sent as defined in [LMP].

        0x04 DCCS: Test Message over the Section/RS DCC

                Capable of transmitting Test messages using the DCC
                Section/RS Overhead bytes with bit-oriented HDLC
                framing format [RFC1662].

                The Test message is sent as defined in [LMP].

        0x08 DCCL: Test Message over the Line/MS DCC

                Capable of transmitting Test messages using the DCC
                Line/MS Overhead bytes with bit-oriented HDLC framing
                format [RFC1662].

                The Test message is sent as defined in [LMP].

        0x10 J0-trace: J0 Section Trace Correlation

                Capable of transmitting SONET/SDH Section/RS trace over
                J0 Section/RS overhead byte as defined in ANSI
                T1.105/ITU-T G.707.

                The Test message is not transmitted using the J0 bytes
                (i.e., over the data link), but is sent over the
                control channel and correlated for consistency to the
                received J0 pattern.

                In order to get the mapping between the Interface_Id
                over which the J0 test message is sent and the J0
                pattern sent in-band, the transmitting node must

                provide the correlation between this pattern and the J0
                test message.  This correlation is done using the TRACE
                object as defined in Section 4.

                The format of the test message is as follows:

                <Test Message> ::=                                    <Common Header> <LOCAL_INTERFACE_ID>
                <VERIFY_ID> <TRACE>

                Note that no change is required for the
                TestStatusSuccess or TestStatusFailure messages.

        0x20 J1-16: 16 byte J1 Test Message

                Capable of transmitting Test messages using the SDH
                HOVC J1 Path Trace byte (frame length of 16 bytes with
                CRC-7), see [G707].

                Note that due to the byte limitation, the Test message
                is NOT sent as an IP packet and as such, no layer 2
                encapsulation is used.  The Test message format defined
                above for J0-16 is used.

                Note that this Test Message format is only valid when
                the Interface_Id is either IPv4 or unnumbered.

        0x40 J1-64: 64 byte J1 Test Message

                Capable of transmitting Test messages using J1 overhead
                bytes with frame length of 64 bytes (see [T1105]).
                Note that this is only appropriate for SONET encoding
                and not SDH encoding.

                The Test message is sent as defined in [LMP].

        0x80 J2-16: 16 byte J2 Test Message

                Capable of transmitting Test messages using the
                SONET/SDH VT SPE/LOVC J2 Path Trace byte (frame length
                of 16 bytes with CRC-7), see [T1105] and [G707].

                Note that due to the byte limitation, the Test message
                is NOT sent as an IP packet and as such, no L2
                encapsulation is used. The Test message format defined
                above for J0-16 is used.

        0x100 J1-trace: J1 Path Trace Correlation

                Capable of transmitting SONET/SDH STS SPE/HOVC Path
                trace over J1 Path overhead byte as defined in [T1105]
                and [G707].

Internet Draft  draft-ietf-ccamp-lmp-test-sonet-sdh-00.txt   Sep. 2002

                The Test message is not transmitted using the J1 bytes
                (i.e., over the data link), but is sent over the
                control channel and correlated for consistency to the
                received J1 pattern.

                In order to get the mapping between the Interface_Id
                over which the J1 test message is sent and the J1
                pattern sent in-band, the transmitting node must
                provide the correlation between this pattern and the J1
                test message. This correlation is done using the TRACE
                object as defined in Section 4.

                The Test Message format is identical to that defined
                above in J0-trace.

                Note that no change is required for the
                TestStatusSuccess or TestStatusFailure messages.

        0x200 J2-trace: J2 Section Trace Correlation

                Capable of transmitting SONET/SDH VT SPE/LOVC Path
                trace over J2 Path overhead byte as defined in [T1105]
                and [G707].

                The Test message is not transmitted using the J2 bytes
                (i.e., over the data link), but is sent over the
                control channel and correlated for consistency to the
                received J2 pattern.

                In order to get the mapping between the Interface_Id
                over which the J2 test message is sent and the J2
                pattern sent in-band, the transmitting node must
                provide the correlation between this pattern and the J2
                test message. This correlation is done using the TRACE
                object as defined in Section 4.

                The Test Message format is identical to that defined
                above in J0-trace.

                Note that no change is required for the
                TestStatusSuccess or TestStatusFailure messages.

4. Trace Monitoring

   The trace monitoring features described in this section allow a node
   to do trace monitoring by using the SONET/SDH capabilities.

     o   An node may request its neighbor (the remote node) to monitor
          a link for a specific pattern in the overhead using the
          TraceMonitor Message.  An example of this overhead is the
          SONET Section Trace message transmitted in the J0 byte.  If

          the actual trace message does not match the expected trace
          message, the remote node MUST report the mismatch condition.

     o   A node may request the value of the current trace message on
          a given data link using the TraceReq Message.

     o   A node may request a remote node to send a specific trace
          message over a data link using the TraceInsertReq Message.

4.1.1. TraceMonitor Message

   The Msg Type for the TraceMonitor message is TBA by IANA.

   The TraceMonitor message is sent over the control channel and is
   used to request the remote node to monitor a data link for a
   specific trace value. This value is inserted in the <TRACE> object.
   The format of the TraceMonitor message is as follows:

   <TraceMonitor Message> ::= <Common Header> <MESSAGE_ID>
                              <LOCAL_INTERFACE_ID> <TRACE>

   The remote node MUST respond to a TraceMonitor message with either a
   TraceMonitorAck or TraceMonitorNack Message.

   Trace Type: 16 bits

       The type of the trace message.  The following values are
       defined.  All other values are reserved and should be sent as
       zero and ignored on receipt.

       1 = SONET Section Trace (J0 Byte)
       2 = SONET Path Trace (J1 Byte)
       3 = SONET Path Trace (J2 Byte)
       4 = SDH Section Trace (J0 Byte)

       5 = SDH Path Trace (J1 Byte)
       6 = SDH Path Trace (J2 Byte)

   Trace Length:  16 bits

       This is the length in bytes of the trace message (as specified
       by the Trace Type).

   Trace Message:

       This is the value of the expected message to be received in-
       band.  The valid length and value combinations are determined by
       the specific technology: for  SONET see [T1105] and for SDH see
       [G707] .  The message MUST be padded with zeros to a 32-bit
       boundary, if necessary. Trace Length does not include padding
       zeroes.

   This object is non-negotiable.

4.1.2. TraceMonitorAck Message

   The TraceMonitorAck message is used to acknowledge receipt of the
   TraceMonitor message and indicate that all of the TRACE Objects in
   the TraceMonitor message have been received and processed correctly
   (i.e. no Trace Mismatch).

   The format is as follows:

   <TraceMonitorAck Message> ::= <Common Header> <MESSAGE_ID_ACK>

   The MESSAGE_ID_ACK object is defined in [LMP].  The contents of the
   MESSAGE_ID_ACK object MUST be obtained from the TraceMonitor message
   being acknowledged.

4.1.3. TraceMonitorNack Message

   The TraceMonitorNack message is used to acknowledge receipt of the
   TraceMonitor message and indicate that the TRACE Object in the
   TraceMonitor message was not processed correctly.  This could be
   because the trace monitoring requested is not supported or there was
   an error in the TRACE object value(s).

   The format is as follows:

   <TraceMonitorNack Message> ::= <Common Header> <MESSAGE_ID_ACK>
                                  <ERROR_CODE>

   The MESSAGE_ID_ACK and ERROR_CODE objects are defined in [LMP].  The

   If the Trace type is not supported, the ERROR_CODE MUST indicate,
   "Unsupported  Trace Type."

   If the TRACE object was not equal to the value seen in the Trace,
   the ERROR_CODE MUST indicate, "Invalid Trace Message"

   The TraceMonitorNack message uses the ERROR_CODE C-Type

4.1.3.1.  ERROR_CODE Class

   C-Type = TBA by IANA

   The following new error code bit-values are defined:

   0x01 = Unsupported Trace Type
   0x02 = Invalid Trace Message

   All other values are Reserved.

   Multiple bits may be set to indicate multiple errors.

   This Object is non-negotiable.

4.1.4. TraceMismatch Message

   The TraceMismatch message is sent over the control channel and is
   used to report a trace mismatch on a data link for which trace
   monitoring was requested.  The format is as follows:

   <TraceMismatch message> ::= <Common Header> <MESSAGE_ID>
                               <LOCAL_INTERFACE_ID>
                               [<LOCAL_INTERFACE_ID> ...]

   A neighboring node that receives a TraceMismatch message MUST
   respond with a TraceMismatchAck message.

   The LOCAL_INTERFACE_ID object is defined in [LMP].  The
   LOCAL_INTERFACE_ID in this message is the local Interface Id of the
   data link that has a trace mismatch.  A trace mismatch for multiple
   LOCAL_INTERFACE_ID's may be reported in the same message.

4.1.5. TraceMismatchAck Message

   The TraceMismatchAck message is used to acknowledge receipt of a
   TraceMismatch message.  The format is as follows:

   <TraceMismatchAck Message> ::= <Common Header> <MESSAGE_ID_ACK>

   The MESSAGE_ID_ACK object is defined in [LMP].  The contents of the
   MESSAGE_ID_ACK object MUST be obtained from the TraceMismatch
   message being acknowledged.

4.1.6. TraceReq Message

   The TraceReq message is sent over the control channel and is used to
   request the current trace value of a data link.

   <TraceReq Message> ::= <Common Header> <MESSAGE_ID>
                          <LOCAL_INTERFACE_ID> <TRACE_REQ>

   The format of the TRACE_REQ object is 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
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |N|   C-Type    |     Class     |            Length             |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |           Trace Type          |           (Reserved)          |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   Trace Type: 16 bits

         Defined in Section 4.1.1.1.

4.1.7. TraceReport Message

   The TraceReport message is sent over the control channel after
   receiving a TraceReq message.

   <TraceReport Message> ::= <Common Header> <MESSAGE_ID_ACK> <TRACE>

   The TraceReport message MUST include a TRACE Object (as described in
   Section 4.1.1.1) for the requested data link.

   The MESSAGE_ID_ACK object is defined in [LMP].  The contents of the
   MESSAGE_ID_ACK object MUST be obtained from the TraceReq message
   being acknowledged.

4.1.8. TraceReqNack Message

   The TraceReqNack message is sent over the control channel after
   receiving a TraceReq message.

   <TraceReqNak Message> ::= <Common Header> <MESSAGE_ID_ACK>
                            <ERROR_CODE>

   The MESSAGE_ID_ACK and ERROR_CODE objects are defined in [LMP].  The
   contents of the MESSAGE_ID_ACK object MUST be obtained from the
   TraceReq message being acknowledged.

   The TraceReqNak message MUST include an ERROR_CODE Object (as
   described in Section 4.1.3.1) for the requested data link.

Internet Draft  draft-ietf-ccamp-lmp-test-sonet-sdh-00.txt   Sep. 2002

4.1.9. TraceInsertReq Message

   The InsertTraceReq message is sent over the control channel and is
   used to request a remote node to send a specific trace message over
   a data link (this assumes that the remote knows the mapping between
   interface idÆs before fulfilling such request).

   <InsertTraceReq Message> ::= <Common Header> <MESSAGE_ID>
                               <LOCAL_INTERFACE_ID> <TRACE>

   A node that receives an InsertTraceReq message MUST respond with
   either a InsertTraceAck or InsertTraceNack Message.

   The MESSAGE_ID_object is defined in [LMP].

4.1.10. InsertTraceAck Message

   The InsertTraceAck message is used to acknowledge receipt of the
   InsertTrace message and indicate that the TRACE Object in the
   InsertTrace message has been received and processed correctly (i.e.
   no Trace Mismatch).  The format is as follows:

   <InsertTraceAck Message> ::= <Common Header> <MESSAGE_ID_ACK>

   The MESSAGE_ID_ACK object is defined in [LMP].  The contents of the
   MESSAGE_ID_ACK object MUST be obtained from the InsertTrace message
   being acknowledged.

4.1.11. InsertTraceNack Message

   The InsertTraceNack message is used to acknowledge receipt of the
   InsertTrace message and to indicate that the TRACE Object in the
   InsertTrace message was not processed correctly.  This could be
   because the trace monitoring requested is not supported or there was
   an error in the value.

   The format is as follows:

   <InsertTraceNack Message> ::= <Common Header> <MESSAGE_ID_ACK>
                                 <ERROR_CODE>

   The MESSAGE_ID_ACK object is defined in [LMP].  The ERROR_CODE
   Object usage is described in Section 4.1.3.1.

   4.1.12 InsertTraceMismatch Message ? or simply re-use of
   TraceMismatch messaging as described here above ?
