Segment Routing Prefix SID extensions for BGP
draft-ietf-idr-bgp-prefix-sid-06
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 segment identifiers (SID). Each SID represents a
topological or a service-based instruction. Per-flow state is
maintained only at the ingress node of the SR domain.
This document defines a new optional, transitive BGP attribute for
announcing BGP Prefix Segment Identifiers (BGP Prefix-SID)
information.

Internet-Draft June 2017
1. Introduction
Segment Routing (SR) architecture leverages the source routing
paradigm. A group of inter-connected nodes that use SR forms a SR
domain. A segment represents either a topological instruction such
as "go to prefix P following shortest path" or a service instruction
(e.g.: "pass through deep packet inspection"). Other types of
segments may be defined in the future.
A segment is identified through a Segment Identifier (SID).
Typically, the ingress node of the SR domain prepends a SR header
containing segments identifiers (SIDs) to an incoming packet.
As described in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing], when SR is applied
to the MPLS dataplane ([I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-mpls]) the
SID consists of a label while when SR is applied to the IPv6
dataplane the SID consists of an IPv6 address.
A BGP-Prefix Segment (and its BGP Prefix-SID), is a BGP segment
attached to a BGP prefix. A BGP Prefix-SID is always a global SID
([I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing]) within the SR/BGP domain (i.e.,
the set of Autonomous Systems under a common administration and
control and where SR is used) 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. In this document, we always refer to the BGP Segment
by the BGP Prefix-SID.
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 BGP
Prefix-SID attribute defined in this document can be attached to
prefixes from AFI/SAFI:
Multiprotocol BGP labeled IPv4/IPv6 Unicast ([RFC3107]).
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.
It has to be noted that:
o A BGP Prefix-SID MAY be global between domains when the
interconnected domains agree on the SID allocation scheme.
Previdi, et al. Expires December 18, 2017 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft June 2017
Alternatively, when interconnecting domains, the ASBRs of each
domain will have to handle the advertisement of unique SIDs. The
mechanisms for such interconnection are outside the scope of the
protocol extensions defined in this document.
o As described in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-msdc], a BGP
Prefix-SID MAY be attached to a prefix. In addition, each prefix
will likely have a different as_path attribute. This implies that
each prefix is advertised individually, reducing the ability to
pack BGP advertisements (when sharing common attributes).
2. 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).
2.1. MPLS BGP Prefix SID
The BGP Prefix-SID is realized on the MPLS dataplane
([I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-mpls]) 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 [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing] recommends
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 information
is required in order to perform the explicit path computation and
to express any explicit path into a list of SIDs. The
advertisement of topological information and Peer segments (Peer
SIDs) 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
Previdi, et al. Expires December 18, 2017 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft June 2017
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 (Peer SIDs) and SRGB
information through [RFC7752],
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-segment-routing-epe] and
[I-D.ietf-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 3.3 of this document.
As defined in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-mpls], the index
L_I is an 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. It has to be noted that while SRGBs and SIDs are
advertised using 32 bit values, the derived label is to be
considered as the 20 right-most bits. See Section 4.1 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 3.1 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.
2.2. IPv6 Prefix Segment
As illustrated in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-msdc], when SR is
used over an IPv6 dataplane, the BGP Prefix-SID consists of an IPv6
address assigned to the BGP speaker.
3. BGP-Prefix-SID Attribute
The BGP Prefix-SID attribute is an optional, transitive BGP path
attribute. The attribute type code 40 has been assigned by IANA (see
Section 7).
Previdi, et al. Expires December 18, 2017 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft June 2017
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). The 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.
3.1. 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:
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

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
where:
o Type is 1.
o Length: is 7, the total length of the value portion of the TLV.
o RESERVED: 8 bit field. MUST be clear on transmission an MUST be
ignored at reception..
o Flags: 16 bits of flags. None is defined by this document. The
flag field MUST be clear on transmission and MUST be ignored at
reception.
o Label Index: 32 bit value representing the index value in the SRGB
space.

Internet-Draft June 2017
3.2. IPv6 SID
The IPv6-SID TLV MAY be present in the Prefix-SID attribute attached
to MP-BGP unlabeled IPv6 unicast prefixes ([RFC4760]) and has the
following format:
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

where:
o Type is 2.
o Length: is 19, the total length of the value portion of the TLV.
o RESERVED: 24 bit field for future use. MUST be clear on
transmission an MUST be ignored at reception.
o IPv6 SID: 16 octets.
3.3. Originator SRGB TLV
The Originator SRGB TLV is an optional TLV and has the following
format:
Previdi, et al. Expires December 18, 2017 [Page 7]

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| SRGB n (6 octets) |
| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
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 is defined in this document. Flags
MUST 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 Originator SRGB TLV contains the SRGB of the node originating the
prefix to which the BGP Prefix-SID is attached. The Originator SRGB
TLV MUST NOT be changed during the propagation of the BGP update.
The originator SRGB describes the SRGB of the node where the BGP
Prefix SID is attached. It is used to build segment routing 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]).
Previdi, et al. Expires December 18, 2017 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft June 2017
4. 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.
4.1. 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=[SRGB_Start,
SRGB_End]. The preferred method for deriving the SRGB is a matter of
local node configuration.
Given a label_index L_I, we call L = L_I + SRGB_Start 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
node 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
receiving speaker.
If multiple prefixes are received with the same label_index value,
all these prefixes MUST have their BGP Prefix-SID attribute
considered as "unacceptable" by the receiving speaker.
When a BGP speaker receives a path from a neighbor with an acceptable
BGP Prefix-SID attribute, it MUST program the derived label as the
local label for the prefix in its MPLS dataplane. In case of any
error, a BGP speaker MUST resort to the error handling rules
specified in Section 6. A BGP speaker MAY log an error for further
analysis.
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
Previdi, et al. Expires December 18, 2017 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft June 2017
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 the information to the receiving node on
which local/incoming label the BGP speaker SHOULD use.
4.2. IPv6 Dataplane
When an 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. If present, then the receiver
assumes that the originator supports SR on the IPv6 dataplane.
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.
5. 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 SHOULD be
deployed.
5.1. 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.
Previdi, et al. Expires December 18, 2017 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft June 2017
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).
5.2. IPv6 Dataplane
A BGP speaker that originates an IPv6 prefix with the Prefix-SID
attribute, MAY include the IPv6 SID TLV.
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.
6. 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
Previdi, et al. Expires December 18, 2017 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft June 2017
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.
7. 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
8. Manageability Considerations
This document defines a new BGP attribute in order to address the use
case described in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-msdc]. It i
assumed that the new attribute (BGP Prefix-SID) advertisement is
controlled by the operator in order to:
o prevent undesired origination/advertisement of the BGP Prefix-SID
attribute. By default, a BGP Prefix-SID attribute SHOULD NOT be
originated and attached to a prefix. The operator MUST be capable
of explicitly enabling the BGP Prefix-SID origination.
Previdi, et al. Expires December 18, 2017 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft June 2017
o Prevent any undesired propagation of the BGP Prefix-SID attribute.
By default the BGP Prefix-SID is not advertised outside the
boundary of an AS. The propagation to other ASs MUST be
explicitly configured.
The deployment model described in
[I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-msdc] assumes multiple Autonomous
Systems (AS) under a common administration. The BGP Prefix-SID
advertisement is therefore applicable to inter-AS context while it is
confined within a single SR Domain.
9. Security Considerations
This document introduces a new BGP attribute (BGP Prefix-SID) which
inherits the security considerations expressed in: [RFC4271] and
[RFC3107].
The BGP Prefix-SID attribute addresses the requirements introduced in
[I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-msdc] and It has to be noted, as
described in Section 8, that this document refer to a deployment
model where all nodes are under the same administration. In this
context, we assume that the operator doesn't want to leak outside of
the domain any information related to internal prefixes and topology.
The internal information includes the BGP Prefix-SID. In order to
prevent such leaking, the standard BGP mechanisms (filters) are
applied on the boundary of the domain.
