             Segment Routing Prefix SID extensions for BGP
                    draft-ietf-idr-bgp-prefix-sid-09

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 an 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 on the ingress node of the SR domain.

   This document defines an optional, transitive BGP attribute for
   announcing BGP Prefix Segment Identifiers (BGP Prefix-SID)
   information.

Internet-Draft                                              January 2018


1.  Introduction

   Segment Routing (SR) architecture leverages the source routing
   paradigm.  A group of inter-connected nodes that use SR forms an 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 an 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 BGP attribute known as
   the BGP Prefix-SID attribute and specifies the rules to originate,
   receive, and handle error conditions for the attribute.

   The BGP Prefix-SID attribute defined in this document can be attached
   to prefixes from AFI/SAFI combinations:

      Multiprotocol BGP labeled IPv4/IPv6 Unicast ([RFC8277]).

      Multiprotocol BGP ([RFC4760]) unlabeled IPv6 Unicast.

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

   It should be noted that:

   o  A BGP Prefix-SID MAY be global between domains when the
      interconnected domains agree on the SID allocation scheme.
      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  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 best path (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:

      The operator assigns a globally unique label 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 SIDs for each of its links and peers.  This information is
      required to perform the explicit path computation and to express
      an explicit path as a list of SIDs.  The advertisement of
      topological information and Peer segments (Peer SIDs) is 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 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 SIDs, 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], the label index
      L_I is an offset into 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 should be noted that while SRGBs and
      SIDs are advertised using 32-bit values, the derived label is
      advertised in 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 label 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 for a given prefix.

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

2.2.  IPv6 Prefix Segment

   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).

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

   o  Label-Index TLV

   o  IPv6 SID TLV

   o  Originator SRGB TLV

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

   The 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 BGP Prefix-SID attribute
   attached to Labeled IPv4/IPv6 unicast prefixes ([RFC8277]).  It will
   be ignored when received for other BGP AFI/SAFI combinations.  The
   Label-Index TLV has the following format:

      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 SRGBs are used in the fabric, for example
   ([I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-msdc]).

   The originator SRGB may only appear in a BGP Prefix-SID attribute
   attached to Labeled IPv4/IPv6 unicast prefixes ([RFC8277]).  It will
   be ignored when received for other BGP AFI/SAFI combinations.

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, MUST
   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 ([RFC8277]) 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 designated "unacceptable" for a
   speaker M if the derived label value L lies outside the SRGB
   configured on M.  Otherwise the Label-Index TLV is designated
   "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 BGP 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 an
   error, a BGP speaker MUST follow 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

   disables the capability), it MUST treat the path as if it came
   without a BGP 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 ([RFC8277]) 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 ([RFC8277]) operation.

   Specifically, a BGP speaker receiving a prefix with a BGP 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 assign.

4.2.  IPv6 Dataplane

   When an SR IPv6 BGP speaker receives an 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 and the chosen as
   the best path, the prefix is installed into the Segment Routing IPv6
   dataplane as described in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing].

   The Originator SRGB MUST be ignored on reception.

5.  Advertising BGP Prefix-SID Attribute

   The BGP Prefix-SID attribute MAY be attached to labeled BGP prefixes
   (IPv4/IPv6) [RFC8277] or to IPv6 unicast prefixes [RFC4760].  In
   order to prevent distribution of the BGP Prefix-SID attribute beyond
   its intended scope of applicability, attribute filtering SHOULD be
   deployed.

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

5.1.  MPLS Dataplane: Labeled Unicast

   A BGP speaker that originates a prefix attaches the BGP Prefix-SID
   attribute when it advertises the prefix to its neighbors via
   Multiprotocol BGP labeled IPv4/IPv6 Unicast ([RFC8277]).  The value
   of the label index in the Label-Index TLV is determined by
   configuration.

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

   In all cases, the label field of the advertised NLRI ([RFC8277],
   [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 speaker's interfaces, this 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 BGP Prefix-SID
   attribute MAY include the IPv6 SID TLV.

6.  Error Handling of BGP Prefix-SID Attribute

   When a BGP Speaker receives a BGP Update message containing a
   malformed or unacceptable BGP Prefix-SID attribute attached to a
   Labeled IPv4/IPv6 unicast prefix [RFC8277], it MUST ignore the
   received BGP Prefix-SID attributes and not advertise it to other BGP
   peers.  This is equivalent to the "Attribute discard" action
   specified in [RFC7606].  When discarding an attribute, a BGP speaker
   SHOULD log an error for further analysis.

   When a BGP Speaker receives a BGP Update message containing a
   malformed or unacceptable BGP Prefix-SID attribute attached to an
   unlabeled IPv6 unicast prefix [RFC4760], it MUST treat the
   advertisement as a withdrawal.  This is equivalent to the "Treat-as-
   withdraw" action specified in [RFC7606].  This action is required
   since simply ignoring the BGP Prefix-SID attribute would modify the
   installed path and the "Attribute discard" option is not applicable
   in this case [RFC7606].  When withdrawing the prefix, a BGP speaker
   SHOULD log an error for further analysis.

   Consistent with [RFC7606], only the first occurrence of the BGP
   Prefix-SID attribute will be considered and subsequent occurrences
   will be discarded.

7.  IANA Considerations

   This document defines a BGP path attribute known as the BGP Prefix-
   SID attribute.  This document requests IANA to assign an attribute
   code type (suggested value: 40) the BGP 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 TLVs for the BGP Prefix-SID attribute.  These
   TLVs need to be registered with IANA.  We request IANA to create a
   registry for BGP Prefix-SID Attribute TLVs as follows:

   Under "Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Parameters" registry, "BGP
   Prefix-SID TLV 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

   This document also creates a registry for the 16 bits of flags in the
   Label-Index TLV.  Initially, the registry will be empty.  Flag bits
   will be allocated First-Come, First Served consistent with the BGP-
   SID TLV Types registry.

   Finally, this document creates a registry for the 16 bits of flags in
   the SRGB Originator TLV.  Initially, the registry will be empty.
   Flag bits will be allocated First-Come, First Served consistent with
   the BGP-SID TLV Types registry.

8.  Manageability Considerations

   This document defines a BGP attribute to address use cases such as
   the one described in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-msdc].  It is




Previdi, et al.           Expires July 9, 2018                 [Page 12]


Internet-Draft                                              January 2018


   assumed that advertisement of the BGP Prefix-SID attribute 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
      attached to a prefix and advertised.  Hence, BGP Prefix-SID
      advertisement SHOULD require explicit enablement.

   o  Prevent any undesired propagation of the BGP Prefix-SID attribute.
      By default, the BGP Prefix-SID is not advertised outside the
      boundary of a single SR/administrative domain which may include
      one or more ASes.  The propagation to other ASes MUST be
      explicitly configured.

   The deployment model described in
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-msdc] assumes multiple Autonomous
   Systems (ASes) under a common administrative domain.  For this use
   case, the BGP Prefix-SID advertisement is applicable to the inter-AS
   context, i.e., EBGP, while it is confined to a single administrative
   domain.

9.  Security Considerations

   This document introduces a BGP attribute (BGP Prefix-SID) which
   inherits the security considerations expressed in: [RFC4271],
   [RFC8277], and [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing].

   It should be noted that, as described in Section 8, this document
   refers to a deployment model where all nodes are under the single
   administrative domain.  In this context, we assume that the operator
   doesn't want to leak any information related to internal prefixes and
   topology outside of the administrative domain.  The internal
   information includes the BGP Prefix-SID.  In order to prevent such
   leaking, the standard BGP mechanisms (filters) are applied at the
   boundary of the SR/administrative domain.
