Flexible Algorithm Definition Advertisement with BGP Link-State
draft-ietf-idr-bgp-ls-flex-algo-06
Abstract
Flexible Algorithm is a solution that allows routing protocols (viz.
OSPF and IS-IS) to compute paths over a network based on user-defined
(and hence, flexible) constraints and metrics. The computation is
performed by routers participating in the specific network in a
distribute manner using a Flex Algorithm definition. This definition
provisioned on one or more routers and propagated (viz. OSPF and IS-
IS flooding) through the network.
BGP Link-State (BGP-LS) enables the collection of various topology
information from the network. This draft defines extensions to BGP-
LS address-family to advertise the Flexible Algorithm Definition as a
part of the topology information from the network.

1. Introduction
IGP protocols (OSPF and IS-IS) traditionally compute best paths over
the network based on the IGP metric assigned to the links. Many
network deployments use RSVP-TE [RFC3209] based or Segment Routing
(SR) Policy [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy] based solutions
to enforce traffic over a path that is computed using different
metrics or constraints than the shortest IGP path.
[I-D.ietf-lsr-flex-algo] defines the Flexible Algorithm solution that
Talaulikar, et al. Expires September 9, 2021 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for Flex Algo March 2021
allows IGPs themselves to compute constraint based paths over the
network.
Flexible Algorithm is called so as it allows a user the flexibility
to define
o the type of calculation to be used (e.g. shortest path)
o the metric type to be used (e.g. IGP metric or TE metric)
o the set of constraints to be used (e.g. inclusion or exclusion of
certain links using affinities)
The operations of the flexible algorithm solution is described in
detail in [I-D.ietf-lsr-flex-algo] and a high level summary of the
same is described here for clarity. The network operator enables the
participation of specific nodes in the network for a specific
algorithm and then provisions the definition of that flexible
algorithm on one or more of these nodes. The nodes where the
flexible algorithm definition (FAD) is advertised then flood these
definitions via respective IGP (IS-IS and OSPFv2/v3) mechanisms to
all other nodes in the network. The nodes select the definition for
each algorithm based on the flooded information in a deterministic
manner and thus all nodes participating in a flexible algorithm
computation arrive at a common understanding of the type of
calculation that they need to use.
When using Segment Routing (SR) [RFC8402] MPLS forwarding plane
[RFC8660], the result of a flex algorithm computation is the
provisioning of the Prefix SIDs associated with that algorithm with
paths based on the topology computed based on that algorithm's
definition. When using SR over IPv6 (SRv6) [RFC8986], the result of
a flex algorithm computation is the provisioning of the SRv6 Locators
associated with that algorithm with paths based on the topology
computed based on that algorithm. This flex algorithm computation is
within an IGP area or level similar to the default shortest path tree
(SPT) algorithm.
A flex algorithm specific metric MAY be advertised along with the
prefix as described in [I-D.ietf-lsr-flex-algo] to enable end-to-end
optimal path computation for prefixes across multiple areas/domains
in the flex algorithm computation for the SR-MPLS forwarding plane.
The BGP-LS extensions for SR are defined in
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgp-ls-segment-routing-ext] and
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext]. They include the
Talaulikar, et al. Expires September 9, 2021 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for Flex Algo March 2021
o SR Algorithm TLV to indicate the participation of a node in a flex
algorithm computation
o Prefix SID TLV to indicate the association of the Prefix-SIDs to a
specific flex algorithm for SR-MPLS forwarding
o SRv6 Locator TLV to indicate the Locator for specific flex
algorithm for SRv6 forwarding
Thus a controller or a Path Computation Engine (PCE) is aware of the
IGP topology across multiple domains which includes the above
information related to the flexible algorithm. This draft defines
extensions to BGP-LS for carrying the Flexible Algorithm Definition
information so that it enables the controller/PCE to learn the
mapping of the flex algorithm number to its definition in each area/
domain of the underlying IGP. The controller/PCE also learns the
type of computation used and the constraints for the same. This
information can then be leveraged by it for setting up SR Policy
paths end to end across domains by leveraging the appropriate Flex
Algorithm specific SIDs in the in its Segment List
[I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy]. e.g. picking the Flex
Algorithm Prefix SID (in case of SR-MPLS) or End SID (in case of
SRv6) of ABRs/ASBRs corresponding to a definition that optimizes on
the delay metric enables the PCE/controller to build an end to end
low latency path across IGP domains with minimal SIDs in the SID
list.
1.1. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
2. BGP-LS Extensions for Flex Algo
The BGP-LS [RFC7752] specifies the Node NLRI for advertisement of
nodes along with their attributes using the BGP-LS Attribute, the
Link NLRI for advertisement of links along with their attributes
using the BGP-LS Attribute and the Prefix NLRI for advertisement of
prefixes along with their attributes using the BGP-LS Attribute.
The Flexible Algorithm Definition (FAD) advertised by a node are
considered as its node level attributes and advertised as such.
Various link attributes like affinities and SRLGs used during the
Flex-Algorithm path calculations in IS-IS and OSPF are advertised in
Talaulikar, et al. Expires September 9, 2021 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for Flex Algo March 2021
those protocols using the Application Specific Link Attribute (ASLA)
advertisements as described in [I-D.ietf-lsr-flex-algo]. The BGP-LS
extensions for ASLA advertisements
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgp-ls-app-specific-attr] MUST be used for the
advertisement of these Flex-Algorithm application specific link
attributes from the underlying IGP protocols using the Flexible
Algorithm application specific bit defined in
[I-D.ietf-lsr-flex-algo].
The Flexible Algorithm Prefix Metric (FAPM) are considered as prefix
attributes and advertised as such.
