             Segment Routing Prefix SID extensions for BGP
                    draft-ietf-idr-bgp-prefix-sid-02

Abstract

   Segment Routing (SR) architecture allows a node to steer a packet
   flow through any topological path and service chain by leveraging
   source routing.  The ingress node prepends a SR header to a packet
   containing a set of "segments".  Each segment represents a
   topological or a service-based instruction.  Per-flow state is
   maintained only at the ingress node of the SR domain.

   This document describes the BGP extension for announcing BGP Prefix
   Segment Identifier (BGP Prefix SID) information.

Internet-Draft                                             December 2015


1.  Segment Routing Documents

   The main references for this document are the SR architecture defined
   in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing] and the related use case
   illustrated in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-msdc].

   The Segment Routing Egress Peer Engineering architecture is described
   in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-central-epe].

   The Segment Routing Egress Peer Engineering BGPLS extensions are
   described in [I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-segment-routing-epe].

2.  Introduction

   Segment Routing (SR) architecture leverages the source routing
   paradigm.  A group of inter-connected nodes that use SR forms a SR
   domain.  The ingress node of the SR domain prepends a SR header
   containing "segments" to an incoming packet.  Each segment represents
   a topological instruction such as "go to prefix P following shortest
   path" or a service instruction (e.g.: "pass through deep packet
   inspection").  By inserting the desired sequence of instructions, the
   ingress node is able to steer a packet via any topological path and/
   or service chain; per-flow state is maintained only at the ingress
   node of the SR domain.

   Each segment is identified by a Segment Identifier (SID).  As
   described in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing], when SR is applied to
   the MPLS dataplane the SID consists of a label while when SR is
   applied to the IPv6 dataplane the SID consists of an IPv6 prefix (see
   [I-D.ietf-6man-segment-routing-header]).

   A BGP-Prefix Segment (aka BGP-Prefix-SID), is a BGP segment attached
   to a BGP prefix.  A BGP-Prefix-SID is always global within the SR/BGP
   domain and identifies an instruction to forward the packet over the
   ECMP-aware best-path computed by BGP to the related prefix.  The BGP-
   Prefix-SID is the identifier of the BGP prefix segment.

   This document describes the BGP extension to signal the BGP-Prefix-
   SID.  Specifically, this document defines a new BGP attribute known
   as the BGP Prefix SID attribute and specifies the rules to originate,
   receive and handle error conditions of the new attribute.

   As described in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-msdc], the newly
   proposed BGP Prefix-SID attribute can be attached to prefixes from
   AFI/SAFI:

      Multiprotocol BGP labeled IPv4/IPv6 Unicast ([RFC3107]).

Internet-Draft                                             December 2015


      Multiprotocol BGP ([RFC4760]) unlabeled IPv6 Unicast.

   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-msdc] describes use cases where the
   Prefix-SID is used for the above AFI/SAFI.

3.  BGP-Prefix-SID

   The BGP-Prefix-SID attached to a BGP prefix P represents the
   instruction "go to Prefix P" along its BGP bestpath (potentially
   ECMP-enabled).

3.1.  MPLS Prefix Segment

   The BGP Prefix Segment is realized on the MPLS dataplane in the
   following way:

      As described in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-msdc] the
      operator assigns a globally unique "index", L_I, to a locally
      sourced prefix of a BGP speaker N which is advertised to all other
      BGP speakers in the SR domain.

      According to [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing], each BGP speaker
      is configured with a label block called the Segment Routing Global
      Block (SRGB).  While it is recommended to use the same SRGB across
      all the nodes within the SR domain, the SRGB of a node is a local
      property and could be different on different speakers.  The
      drawbacks of the use case where BGP speakers have different SRGBs
      are documented in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing] and
      [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-msdc].

      If traffic-engineering within the SR domain is required, each node
      may also be required to advertise topological information and
      Peering SID's for each of its links and peers.  This informations
      is required in order to perform the explicit path computation and
      to express any explicit path into a list of segments.  The
      advertisement of topological information and Peer segments is
      assumed to be done through
      [I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-segment-routing-epe].

      If the BGP speakers are not all configured with the same SRGB, and
      if traffic-engineering within the SR domain is required, each node
      may be required to advertise its local SRGB in addition to the
      topological information.

      This documents assumes that BGP-LS is the preferred method for
      collecting both topological, peer segments and SRGB information
      through [I-D.ietf-idr-ls-distribution],
      [I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-segment-routing-epe] and



Previdi, et al.           Expires June 23, 2016                 [Page 4]


Internet-Draft                                             December 2015


      [I-D.gredler-idr-bgp-ls-segment-routing-ext].  However, as an
      optional alternative for the advertisement of the local SRGB
      without the topology nor the peer SID's, hence without
      applicability for TE, the Originator SRGB TLV of the prefix-SID
      attribute, is specified in Section 4.3 of this document.

      The index L_I is a 32 bit offset in the SRGB.  Each BGP speaker
      derives its local MPLS label, L, by adding L_I to the start value
      of its own SRGB, and programs L in its MPLS dataplane as its
      incoming/local label for the prefix.  See Section 5.1 for more
      details.

      The outgoing label for the prefix is found in the NLRI of the
      Multiprotocol BGP labeled IPv4/IPv6 Unicast prefix advertisement.
      The index L_I is only used as a hint to derive the local/incoming
      label.

      Section 4.1 of this document specifies the Label-Index TLV of the
      BGP Prefix-SID attribute; this TLV can be used to advertise the
      label index of a given prefix.

   In order to advertise the label index of a given prefix P and,
   optionally, the SRGB, a new extension to BGP is needed: the BGP
   Prefix SID attribute.  This extension is described in subsequent
   sections.

3.2.  IPv6 Prefix Segment

   As defined in [I-D.ietf-6man-segment-routing-header], and as
   illustrated in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-msdc], when SR is
   used over an IPv6 dataplane, the BGP Prefix Segment is instantiated
   by an IPv6 prefix originated by the BGP speaker.

   Each node advertises a globally unique IPv6 address representing
   itself in the domain.  This prefix (e.g.: its loopback interface
   address) is advertised to all other BGP speakers in the SR domain.

   Also, each node MUST advertise its support of Segment Routing for
   IPv6 dataplane.  This is realized using the flags contained in the
   Prefix SID Attribute defined below.

4.  BGP-Prefix-SID Attribute

   The BGP Prefix SID attribute is an optional, transitive BGP path
   attribute.  The attribute type code is to be assigned by IANA
   (suggested value: 40).  The value field of the BGP-Prefix-SID
   attribute has the following format:

   The value field of the BGP Prefix SID attribute is defined here to be
   a set of elements encoded as "Type/Length/Value" (i.e., a set of
   TLVs).  Following TLVs are defined:

   o  Label-Index TLV

   o  IPv6 SID TLV

   o  Originator SRGB TLV

   Label-Index and Originator SRGB TLVs are used only when SR is applied
   to the MPLS dataplane.

   IPv6 SID TLV is used only when SR is applied to the IPv6 dataplane.

4.1.  Label-Index TLV

   The Label-Index TLV MUST be present in the Prefix-SID attribute
   attached to Labeled IPv4/IPv6 unicast prefixes ([RFC3107]) and has
   the following format:

   o  RESERVED: 8 bit field.  SHOULD be 0 on transmission and MUST be
      ignored on reception.

   o  Flags: 16 bits of flags.  None are defined at this stage of the

   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   where:

      *  S flag: if set then it means that the BGP speaker attaching the
         Prefix-SID Attribute to a prefix is capable of processing the
         IPv6 Segment Routing Header (SRH,
         [I-D.ietf-6man-segment-routing-header]) for the segment
         corresponding to the originated IPv6 prefix.  The use case
         leveraging the S flag is described in
         [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-msdc].

      The other bits of the flag field SHOULD be clear on transmission
      an MUST be ignored at reception.

   where:

   o  Type is 3.

   o  Length is the total length of the value portion of the TLV: 2 +
      multiple of 6.

   o  Flags: 16 bits of flags.  None are defined in this document.
      Flags SHOULD be clear on transmission an MUST be ignored at
      reception.

   o  SRGB: 3 octets of base followed by 3 octets of range.  Note that
      the SRGB field MAY appear multiple times.  If the SRGB field
      appears multiple times, the SRGB consists of multiple ranges.  The
      meaning of an SRGB with multiple ranges is explained in
      Section 3.2 ("SID/Label Range TLV") of
      [I-D.ietf-ospf-segment-routing-extensions].

   The Originator SRGB TLV contains the SRGB of the router originating
   the prefix to which the BGP Prefix SID is attached and MUST be kept
   in the Prefix-SID Attribute unchanged during the propagation of the
   BGP update.

Internet-Draft                                             December 2015


   The originator SRGB describes the SRGB of the node where the BGP
   Prefix Segment end.  It is used to build SRTE policies when different
   SRGB's are used in the fabric
   ([I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-msdc]).

   The originator SRGB may only appear on Prefix-SID attribute attached
   to prefixes of SAFI 4 (labeled unicast, [RFC3107]).

5.  Receiving BGP-Prefix-SID Attribute

   A BGP speaker receiving a BGP Prefix-SID attribute from an EBGP
   neighbor residing outside the boundaries of the SR domain, SHOULD
   discard the attribute unless it is configured to accept the attribute
   from the EBGP neighbor.  A BGP speaker MAY log an error for further
   analysis when discarding an attribute.

5.1.  MPLS Dataplane: Labeled Unicast

   A Multiprotocol BGP labeled IPv4/IPv6 Unicast ([RFC3107]) session
   type is required.

   A BGP speaker may be locally configured with an SRGB=[GB_S, GB_E].
   The preferred method for deriving the SRGB is a matter of local
   router configuration.

   Given a label index L_I, we call L = L_I + GB_S as the derived label.
   A BGP Prefix-SID attribute is called "unacceptable" for a speaker M
   if the derived label value L lies outside the SRGB configured on M.
   Otherwise the Label Index attribute is called "acceptable" to speaker
   M.

   The mechanisms through which a given label_index value is assigned to
   a given prefix are outside the scope of this document.  The label-
   index value associated with a prefix is locally configured at the BGP
   router originating the prefix.

   The Prefix-SID attribute MUST contain the Label-Index TLV and MAY
   contain the Originator SRGB TLV.  A BGP Prefix-SID attribute received
   without a Label-Index TLV MUST be considered as "unacceptable" by the

   When a BGP speaker receives a path from a neighbor with an acceptable

   When a BGP speaker receives a path from a neighbor with an
   unacceptable BGP Prefix-SID attribute or when a BGP speaker receives
   a path from a neighbor with a BGP-Prefix-SID attribute but is unable
   to process it (it does not have the capability or local policy
   disables the capability), it MUST treat the path as if it came
   without a Prefix-SID attribute.  For the purposes of local label
   allocation, a BGP speaker MUST assign a local (also called dynamic)
   label (non-SRGB) for such a prefix as per classic Multiprotocol BGP
   labeled IPv4/IPv6 Unicast ([RFC3107]) operation.  A BGP speaker MAY
   log an error for further analysis.

   The outgoing label is always programmed as per classic Multiprotocol
   BGP labeled IPv4/IPv6 Unicast (RFC3107 [RFC3107]) operation.

   Specifically, a BGP speaker receiving a prefix with a Prefix-SID
   attribute and a label NLRI field of implicit-null from a neighbor
   MUST adhere to standard behavior and program its MPLS dataplane to
   pop the top label when forwarding traffic to the prefix.  The label
   NLRI defines the outbound label that MUST be used by the receiving
   node.  The Label Index gives a hint to the receiving node on which
   local/incoming label the BGP speaker SHOULD use.

5.2.  IPv6 Dataplane

   When a SR IPv6 BGP speaker receives a IPv6 Unicast BGP Update with a
   prefix having the BGP Prefix SID attribute attached, it checks
   whether the IPv6 SID TLV is present and if the S-flag is set.  If the
   IPv6 SID TLV is present and if the S-flag is not set, then the
   Prefix-SID attribute MUST be considered as "unacceptable" by the
   receiving speaker.

   The Originator SRGB MUST be ignored on reception.

   A BGP speaker receiving a BGP Prefix-SID attribute from an EBGP
   neighbor residing outside the boundaries of the SR domain, SHOULD
   discard the attribute unless it is configured to accept the attribute
   from the EBGP neighbor.  A BGP speaker MAY log an error for further
   analysis when discarding an attribute.

6.  Announcing BGP-Prefix-SID Attribute

   The BGP Prefix-SID attribute MAY be attached to labeled BGP prefixes
   (IPv4/IPv6) [RFC3107]or to IPv6 prefixes [RFC4760].  In order to
   prevent distribution of the BGP Prefix-SID attribute beyond its
   intended scope of applicability, attribute filtering MAY be deployed.

6.1.  MPLS Dataplane: Labeled Unicast

   A BGP speaker that originates a prefix attaches the Prefix-SID
   attribute when it advertises the prefix to its neighbors via
   Multiprotocol BGP labeled IPv4/IPv6 Unicast ([RFC3107])The value of
   the Label-Index in the Label-Index TLV is determined by
   configuration.

   A BGP speaker that originates a Prefix-SID attribute MAY optionally
   announce Originator SRGB TLV along with the mandatory Label-Index
   TLV.  The content of the Originator SRGB TLV is determined by the
   configuration.

   Since the Label-index value must be unique within an SR domain, by
   default an implementation SHOULD NOT advertise the BGP Prefix-SID
   attribute outside an Autonomous System unless it is explicitly
   configured to do so.

   A BGP speaker that advertises a path received from one of its
   neighbors SHOULD advertise the Prefix-SID received with the path
   without modification regardless of whether the Prefix-SID was
   acceptable.  If the path did not come with a Prefix-SID attribute,
   the speaker MAY attach a Prefix-SID to the path if configured to do
   so.  The content of the TLVs present in the Prefix-SID is determined
   by the configuration.

   In all cases, the label field of the advertised NLRI ([RFC3107],
   [RFC4364]) MUST be set to the local/incoming label programmed in the
   MPLS dataplane for the given advertised prefix.  If the prefix is
   associated with one of the BGP speakers interfaces, this label is the
   usual MPLS label (such as the implicit or explicit NULL label).

6.2.  IPv6 Dataplane

   A BGP speaker that originates a prefix attaches the Prefix-SID
   attribute when it advertises the prefix to its neighbors.  The IPv6
   SID TLV MUST be present and the S-flag MUST be set.

   A BGP speaker that advertises a path received from one of its
   neighbors SHOULD advertise the Prefix-SID received with the path
   without modification regardless of whether the Prefix-SID was
   acceptable.  If the path did not come with a Prefix-SID attribute,
   the speaker MAY attach a Prefix-SID to the path if configured to do
   so.  The IPv6-SID TLV MUST be present in the Prefix-SID and with the
   S-flag set.

7.  Error Handling of BGP-Prefix-SID Attribute

   When a BGP Speaker receives a BGP Update message containing a
   malformed BGP Prefix-SID attribute, it MUST ignore the received BGP
   Prefix-SID attributes and not pass it to other BGP peers.  This is
   equivalent to the -attribute discard- action specified in [RFC7606].
   When discarding an attribute, a BGP speaker MAY log an error for
   further analysis.

   If the BGP Prefix-SID attribute appears more than once in an BGP
   Update message, then, according to [RFC7606], all the occurrences of
   the attribute other than the first one SHALL be discarded and the BGP
   Update message shall continue to be processed.

   When a BGP speaker receives an unacceptable Prefix-SID attribute, it
   MAY log an error for further analysis.

8.  IANA Considerations

   This document defines a new BGP path attribute known as the BGP
   Prefix-SID attribute.  This document requests IANA to assign a new
   attribute code type (suggested value: 40) for BGP the Prefix-SID
   attribute from the BGP Path Attributes registry.

   Currently, IANA temporarily assigned the following:

      40 BGP Prefix-SID (TEMPORARY - registered 2015-09-30, expires
      2016-09-30) [draft-ietf-idr-bgp-prefix-sid]

   This document defines 3 new TLVs for BGP Prefix-SID attribute.  These
   TLVs need to be registered with IANA.  We request IANA to create a
   new registry for BGP Prefix-SID Attribute TLVs as follows:

   Under "Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Parameters" registry, "BGP
   Prefix SID attribute Types" Reference: draft-ietf-idr-bgp-prefix-sid
   Registration Procedure(s): Values 1-254 First Come, First Served,
   Value 0 and 255 reserved

   Value Type            Reference
   0     Reserved        this document
   1     Label-Index     this document
   2     IPv6 SID        this document
   3     Originator SRGB this document
   4-254 Unassigned
   255   Reserved        this document
