              Advertising Segment Routing Policies in BGP
              draft-ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy-06

Abstract

   This document defines a new BGP SAFI with a new NLRI in order to
   advertise a candidate path of a Segment Routing Policy (SR Policy).
   An SR Policy is a set of candidate paths, each consisting of one or
   more segment lists.  The headend of an SR Policy may learn multiple
   candidate paths for an SR Policy.  Candidate paths may be learned via
   a number of different mechanisms, e.g., CLI, NetConf, PCEP, or BGP.
   This document specifies the way in which BGP may be used to
   distribute candidate paths.  New sub-TLVs for the Tunnel
   Encapsulation Attribute are defined.

1.  Introduction

   Segment Routing (SR) allows a headend node to steer a packet flow
   along any path.  Intermediate per-flow states are eliminated thanks
   to source routing [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing].

   The headend node is said to steer a flow into a Segment Routing
   Policy (SR Policy).

   The header of a packet steered in an SR Policy is augmented with the
   ordered list of segments associated with that SR Policy.

   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy] details the concepts of SR
   Policy and steering into an SR Policy.  These apply equally to the
   MPLS and SRv6 instantiations of segment routing.

   [I-D.filsfils-spring-sr-policy-considerations] describes some of the
   implementation aspects of the SR Policy Headend Architecture and
   introduces the notion of an SR Policy Module (SRPM) that performs the
   functionality as highlighted in section 2 of
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy]:

   o  The SRPM may learn multiple candidate paths for an SR Policy via
      various mechanisms (CLI, NetConf, PCEP or BGP).

   o  The SRPM selects the best candidate path for the SR Policy.

   o  The SRPM binds a BSID to the selected candidate path of the SR
      Policy.

   o  The SRPM installs the selected candidate path and its BSID in the
      forwarding plane.

   This document specifies the way to use BGP to distribute one or more
   of the candidate paths of an SR Policy to the headend of that policy.
   The document identifies the functionality that resides in the BGP
   process and for the functionality which is outside the scope of BGP

   and lies within SRPM on the headend node, it refers to such, as
   appropriate.

   This document specifies a way of representing SR Policies and their
   candidate paths in BGP UPDATE messages.  BGP can then be used to
   propagate the SR Policies and candidate paths.  The usual BGP rules
   for BGP propagation and "bestpath selection" are used.  At the
   headend of a specific policy, this will result in one or more
   candidate paths being installed into the "BGP table".  These paths
   are then passed to the SRPM.  The SRPM may compare them to candidate
   paths learned via other mechanisms, and will choose one or more paths
   to be installed in the data plane.  BGP itself does not install SR
   Policy candidate paths into the data plane.

   This document defines a new BGP address family (SAFI).  In UPDATE
   messages of that address family, the NLRI identifies an SR Policy,
   and the attributes encode the segment lists and other details of that
   SR Policy.

   While for simplicity we may write that BGP advertises an SR Policy,
   it has to be understood that BGP advertises a candidate path of an SR
   policy and that this SR Policy might have several other candidate
   paths provided via BGP (via an NLRI with a different distinguisher as
   defined in this document), PCEP, NETCONF or local policy
   configuration.

   Typically, a controller defines the set of policies and advertise
   them to policy head-end routers (typically ingress routers).  The
   policy advertisement uses BGP extensions defined in this document.
   The policy advertisement is, in most but not all of the cases,
   tailored for a specific policy head-end.  In this case the
   advertisement may sent on a BGP session to that head-end and not
   propagated any further.

   Alternatively, a router (i.e., a BGP egress router) advertises SR
   Policies representing paths to itself.  In this case, it is possible
   to send the policy to each head-end over a BGP session to that head-
   end, without requiring any further propagation of the policy.

   An SR Policy intended only for the receiver will, in most cases, not
   traverse any Route Reflector (RR, [RFC4456]).

   In some situations, it is undesirable for a controller or BGP egress
   router to have a BGP session to each policy head-end.  In these
   situations, BGP Route Reflectors may be used to propagate the
   advertisements, or it may be necessary for the advertisement to
   propagate through a sequence of one or more ASes.  To make this
   possible, an attribute needs to be attached to the advertisement that

   enables a BGP speaker to determine whether it is intended to be a
   head-end for the advertised policy.  This is done by attaching one or
   more Route Target Extended Communities to the advertisement
   ([RFC4360]).

   The BGP extensions for the advertisement of SR Policies include
   following components:

   o  A new Subsequent Address Family Identifier (SAFI) whose NLRI
      identifies an SR Policy.

   o  A new Tunnel Type identifier for SR Policy, and a set of sub-TLVs
      to be inserted into the Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute (as defined
      in [I-D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps]) specifying segment lists of the
      SR Policy, as well as other information about the SR Policy.

   o  One or more IPv4 address format route-target extended community
      ([RFC4360]) attached to the SR Policy advertisement and that
      indicates the intended head-end of such SR Policy advertisement.

   o  The Color Extended Community (as defined in
      [I-D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps]) and used in order to steer traffic
      into an SR Policy, as described in section 8.4 in
      [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].  This document
      (Section 3) modifies the format of the Color Extended Community by
      using the two leftmost bits of the RESERVED field.

1.1.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

2.  SR Policy Encoding

2.1.  SR Policy SAFI and NLRI

   A new SAFI is defined: the SR Policy SAFI, (codepoint 73 assigned by
   IANA (see Section 8) from the "Subsequent Address Family Identifiers
   (SAFI) Parameters" registry).

   The SR Policy SAFI uses a new NLRI defined as follows:

   +------------------+
   |  NLRI Length     | 1 octet
   +------------------+
   |  Distinguisher   | 4 octets
   +------------------+
   |  Policy Color    | 4 octets
   +------------------+
   |  Endpoint        | 4 or 16 octets
   +------------------+

   where:

   o  NLRI Length: 1 octet of length expressed in bits as defined in
      [RFC4760].

   o  Distinguisher: 4-octet value uniquely identifying the policy in
      the context of <color, endpoint> tuple.  The distinguisher has no
      semantic value and is solely used by the SR Policy originator to
      make unique (from an NLRI perspective) multiple occurrences of the
      same SR Policy.

   o  Policy Color: 4-octet value identifying (with the endpoint) the
      policy.  The color is used to match the color of the destination
      prefixes to steer traffic into the SR Policy
      [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].

   o  Endpoint: identifies the endpoint of a policy.  The Endpoint may
      represent a single node or a set of nodes (e.g., an anycast
      address).  The Endpoint is an IPv4 (4-octet) address or an IPv6
      (16-octet) address according to the AFI of the NLRI.

   The color and endpoint are used to automate the steering of BGP
   Payload prefixes on SR Policy as described in
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].

   The NLRI containing the SR Policy is carried in a BGP UPDATE message
   [RFC4271] using BGP multiprotocol extensions [RFC4760] with an AFI of
   1 or 2 (IPv4 or IPv6) and with a SAFI of 73 (assigned by IANA from
   the "Subsequent Address Family Identifiers (SAFI) Parameters"
   registry).

   An update message that carries the MP_REACH_NLRI or MP_UNREACH_NLRI
   attribute with the SR Policy SAFI MUST also carry the BGP mandatory
   attributes.  In addition, the BGP update message MAY also contain any
   of the BGP optional attributes.

   The next-hop network address field in SR Policy SAFI (73) updates may
   be either a 4 octet IPv4 address or a 16 octet IPv6 address,

Internet-Draft       Segment Routing Policies in BGP            May 2019


   independent of the SR Policy AFI.  The length field of the next-hop
   address specifies the next-hop address family.  If the next-hop
   length is 4, then the next-hop is an IPv4 address; if the next-hop
   length is 16, then it is a global IPv6 address; and if the next-hop
   length is 32, then it has a global IPv6 address followed by a link-
   local IPv6 address.  The setting of the next-hop field and its
   attendant processing is governed by standard BGP procedures as
   described in section 3 in [RFC4760].

   It is important to note that any BGP speaker receiving a BGP message
   with an SR Policy NLRI, will process it only if the NLRI is among the
   best paths as per the BGP best path selection algorithm.  In other
   words, this document does not modify the BGP propagation or bestpath
   selection rules.

   It has to be noted that if several candidate paths of the same SR
   Policy (endpoint, color) are signaled via BGP to a head-end, it is
   recommended that each NLRI use a different distinguisher.  If BGP has
   installed into the BGP table two advertisements whose respective
   NLRIs have the same color and endpoint, but different distinguishers,
   both advertisements are passed to the SRPM as different candidate
   paths.  In addition, the originator information corresponding to the
   each candidate path, as described in section 2.4 in
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy], is passed to the SRPM.

2.2.  SR Policy and Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute

   The content of the SR Policy is encoded in the Tunnel Encapsulation
   Attribute originally defined in [I-D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps] using a
   new Tunnel-Type TLV (codepoint is 15, assigned by IANA (see
   Section 8) from the "BGP Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute Tunnel Types"
   registry).

   The SR Policy Encoding structure is as follows:

                 Segment
                 ...
             ...
   where:

   o  SR Policy SAFI NLRI is defined in Section 2.1.

   o  Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute is defined in
      [I-D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps].

   o  Tunnel-Type is set to 15 (assigned by IANA from the "BGP Tunnel
      Encapsulation Attribute Tunnel Types" registry).

   o  Preference, Binding SID, Priority, Policy Name, ENLP, Segment-
      List, Weight and Segment sub-TLVs are defined in this document.

   o  Additional sub-TLVs may be defined in the future.

   A Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute MUST NOT contain more than one TLV
   of type "SR Policy".  If more than one TLV of type "SR Policy"
   appears, the update is considered malformed and the "treat-as-
   withdraw" strategy of [RFC7606] is applied.

   Multiple occurrences of "Segment List" MAY be encoded within the same
   SR Policy.

   Multiple occurrences of "Segment" MAY be encoded within the same
   Segment List.

2.3.  Remote Endpoint and Color

   The Remote Endpoint and Color sub-TLVs, as defined in
   [I-D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps], MAY also be present in the SR Policy
   encodings.

Internet-Draft       Segment Routing Policies in BGP            May 2019


   The Remote Endpoint and Color Sub-TLVs are not used for SR Policy
   encodings and therefore their value is irrelevant in the context of
   the SR Policy SAFI NLRI.  If present, the Remote Endpoint sub-TLV and
   the Color sub-TLV MUST be ignored by the BGP speaker.

2.4.  SR Policy Sub-TLVs

   This section defines the SR Policy sub-TLVs.

   Preference, Binding SID, Segment-List, Priority, Policy Name and
   Explicit NULL Label Policy sub-TLVs are assigned from the "BGP Tunnel
   Encapsulation Attribute Sub-TLVs" registry.

   Weight and Segment sub-TLVs are assigned from a new registry defined
   in this document and called: "SR Policy List Sub-TLVs".  See
   Section 8 for the details of the registry.

2.4.1.  Preference Sub-TLV

   The Preference sub-TLV does not have any effect on the BGP bestpath
   selection or propagation procedures.  The contents of this sub-TLV
   are used by the SRPM as described in section 2.7 in
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].

   The Preference sub-TLV is optional and it MUST NOT appear more than
   once in the SR Policy.  If the Preference sub-TLV appears more than
   once, the update is considered malformed and the "treat-as-withdraw"
   strategy of [RFC7606] is applied.

   The Preference sub-TLV has following format:

    0                   1                   2                   3

   where:

   o  Type: 12

   o  Length: 6.

   o  Flags: 1 octet of flags.  None are defined at this stage.  Flags
      SHOULD be set to zero on transmission and MUST be ignored on
      receipt.

   o  RESERVED: 1 octet of reserved bits.  SHOULD be unset on
      transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt.

   o  Preference: a 4-octet value.

2.4.2.  Binding SID Sub-TLV

   The Binding SID sub-TLV is not used by BGP.  The contents of this
   sub-TLV are used by the SRPM as described in section 6 in
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].

   The Binding SID sub-TLV is optional and it MUST NOT appear more than
   once in the SR Policy.  If the Binding SID sub-TLV appears more than
   once, the update is considered malformed and the "treat-as-withdraw"
   strategy of [RFC7606] is applied.

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

   where:

   o  Type: 13

   o  Length: specifies the length of the value field not including Type
      and Length fields.  Can be 2 or 6 or 18.

   o  Flags: 1 octet of flags.  Following flags are defined (to be
      assigned by IANA from the registry "SR Policy Binding SID Flags"
      defined in this document Section 8.5):

      *  I-Flag: This flag encodes the "Drop Upon Invalid" behavior.  It
         is used by SRPM as described in section 8.2 in
         [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].

      *  Unused bits in the Flag octet SHOULD be set to zero upon
         transmission and MUST be ignored upon receipt.

   o  RESERVED: 1 octet of reserved bits.  SHOULD be unset on
      transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt.

   o  Binding SID: if length is 2, then no Binding SID is present.

   o  If length is 6 then the Binding SID contains a 4-octet SID.  Below
      format is used to encode the SID.  TC, S, TTL(Total of 12bits) are
      RESERVED and SHOULD be set to Zero and MUST be ignored.

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

      If length is 18 then the Binding SID contains a 16-octet IPv6 SID.

2.4.3.  Segment List Sub-TLV

   The Segment List sub-TLV encodes a single explicit path towards the
   endpoint as described in section 5.1 in
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].  The Segment List sub-TLV
   includes the elements of the paths (i.e., segments) as well as an
   optional Weight sub-TLV.

   The Segment List sub-TLV may exceed 255 bytes length due to large
   number of segments.  Therefore a 2-octet length is required.
   According to [I-D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps], the first bit of the sub-
   TLV codepoint defines the size of the length field.  Therefore, for
   the Segment List sub-TLV a code point of 128 (or higher) is used.
   See Section 8 for details of codepoints allocation.

   The Segment List sub-TLV is optional and MAY appear multiple times in
   the SR Policy.  The ordering of Segment List sub-TLVs, each sub-TLV
   encoding a Segment List, does not matter.

   The Segment List sub-TLV contains zero or more Segment sub-TLVs and
   MAY contain a Weight sub-TLV.

   The Segment List sub-TLV has the following format:

   o  Length: the total length (not including the Type and Length
      fields) of the sub-TLVs encoded within the Segment List sub-TLV.

   o  RESERVED: 1 octet of reserved bits.  SHOULD be unset on
      transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt.

   o  sub-TLVs:

      *  An optional single Weight sub-TLV.

      *  Zero or more Segment sub-TLVs.

   Validation of an explicit path encoded by the Segment List sub-TLV is
   completely within the scope of SRPM as described in section 5 in
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].

2.4.3.1.  Weight Sub-TLV

   The Weight sub-TLV specifies the weight associated to a given segment
   list.  The contents of this sub-TLV are used only by the SRPM as
   described in section 2.11 in
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].

   The Weight sub-TLV is optional and it MUST NOT appear more than once
   inside the Segment List sub-TLV.  If the Weight sub-TLV appears more
   than once, the update is considered malformed and the "treat-as-
   withdraw" strategy of [RFC7606] is applied.

   The Weight sub-TLV has the following format:

   SHOULD be set to zero on transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt.

   RESERVED: 1 octet of reserved bits.  SHOULD be unset on transmission
   and MUST be ignored on receipt.

2.4.3.2.  Segment Sub-TLV

   The Segment sub-TLV describes a single segment in a segment list
   (i.e., a single element of the explicit path).  Multiple Segment sub-
   TLVs constitute an explicit path of the SR Policy.

   The Segment sub-TLV is optional and MAY appear multiple times in the
   Segment List sub-TLV.

   The Segment sub-TLV does not have any effect on the BGP bestpath
   selection or propagation procedures.  The contents of this sub-TLV
   are used only by the SRPM as described in section 4 in
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].

   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy] defines several types of
   Segments:

   o  The S bit SHOULD be zero upon transmission, and MUST be ignored
      upon reception.

   o  If the originator wants the receiver to choose the TC value, it
      sets the TC field to zero.

   o  If the originator wants the receiver to choose the TTL value, it
      sets the TTL field to 255.

   o  If the originator wants to recommend a value for these fields, it
      puts those values in the TC and/or TTL fields.

   o  The receiver MAY override the originator's values for these
      fields.  This would be determined by local policy at the receiver.
      One possible policy would be to override the fields only if the
      fields have the default values specified above.

2.4.4.  Explicit NULL Label Policy Sub-TLV

   In order to steer an unlabeled IP packet into an SR policy, it is
   necessary to create a label stack for that packet, and to push one or
   more labels onto that stack.

   The Explicit NULL Label Policy sub-TLV is used to indicate whether an
   Explicit NULL Label [RFC3032] must be pushed on an unlabeled IP
   packet before any other labels.

   If an Explicit NULL Label Policy Sub-TLV is not present, the decision
   of whether to push an Explicit NULL label on a given packet is a
   matter of local policy.

   The contents of this sub-TLV are used by the SRPM as described in
   section 4.1 in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].

      SHOULD be set to zero on transmission and MUST be ignored on
      receipt.

      RESERVED: 1 octet of reserved bits.  SHOULD be unset on
      transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt.

      ENLP(Explicit NULL Label Policy): Indicates whether Explicit NULL
      labels are to be pushed on unlabeled IP packets that are being
      steered into a given SR policy.  This field has one of the
      following 4 values:

         1: Push an IPv4 Explicit NULL label on an unlabeled IPv4
         packet, but do not push an IPv6 Explicit NULL label on an
         unlabeled IPv6 packet.

         2: Push an IPv6 Explicit NULL label on an unlabeled IPv6
         packet, but do not push an IPv4 Explicit NULL label on an
         unlabeled IPv4 packet.

         3: Push an IPv4 Explicit NULL label on an unlabeled IPv4
         packet, and push an IPv6 Explicit NULL label on an unlabeled
         IPv6 packet.

         4: Do not push an Explicit NULL label.

      The policy signaled in this Sub-TLV MAY be overridden by local
      policy.

2.4.5.  Policy Priority Sub-TLV

   An operator MAY set the Policy Priority sub-TLV to indicate the order
   in which the SR policies are re-computed upon topological change.

   The Priority sub-TLV does not have any effect on the BGP bestpath
   selection or propagation procedures.  The contents of this sub-TLV
   are used by the SRPM as described in section 2.11 in
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].

   The Priority sub-TLV is optional and it MUST NOT appear more than
   once in the SR Policy TLV.  If the Priority sub-TLV appears more than
   once, the update is considered malformed and the "treat-as-withdraw"
   strategy of [RFC7606] is applied.

   The Priority sub-TLV has following format:

   Where:

      Type: TBD2 (to be assigned by IANA from the registry "BGP Tunnel
      Encapsulation Attribute sub-TLVs" defined in this document
      Section 8.3).

      Length: 2.

      Priority: a 1-octet value.

      RESERVED: 1 octet of reserved bits.  SHOULD be unset on
      transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt.

2.4.6.  Policy Name Sub-TLV

   An operator MAY set the Policy Name sub-TLV to attach a symbolic name
   to the SR Policy candidate path.

   Usage of Policy Name sub-TLV is described in section 2 in
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].

   The Policy Name sub-TLV may exceed 255 bytes length due to long
   policy name.  Therefore a 2-octet length is required.  According to
   [I-D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps], the first bit of the sub-TLV codepoint
   defines the size of the length field.  Therefore, for the Policy Name
   sub-TLV a code point of 128 (or higher) is used.  See Section 8 for
   details of codepoints allocation.

   The Policy Name sub-TLV is optional and it MUST NOT appear more than
   once in the SR Policy TLV.  If the Policy Name sub-TLV appears more
   than once, the update is considered malformed and the "treat-as-
   withdraw" strategy of [RFC7606] is applied.

   The Policy Name sub-TLV has following format:

   0                   1                   2                   3

      Type: TBD3 (to be assigned by IANA from the registry "BGP Tunnel
      Encapsulation Attribute sub-TLVs" defined in this document
      Section 8.3).

      Length: Variable.

3.  Extended Color Community

   The Color Extended Community as defined in
   [I-D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps] is used to steer traffic into a policy.

   When the Color Extended Community is used for the purpose of steering
   the traffic into an SR Policy, the RESERVED field (as defined in
   [I-D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps] is changed as follows:

                        1
    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5

   |C O|        RESERVED           |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   where CO bits are defined as the "Color-Only" bits.
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy] defines the influence of
   these bits on the automated steering of BGP Payload traffic onto SR
   Policies.

4.  SR Policy Operations

   As described in this document, the consumer of an SR Policy NLRI is
   not the BGP process.  The BGP process is in charge of the origination
   and propagation of the SR Policy NLRI but its installation and use is
   outside the scope of BGP.  The details of SR Policy installation and
   use can be referred from [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].

4.1.  Configuration and Advertisement of SR Policies

   Typically, but not limited to, an SR Policy is configured into a
   controller.





Previdi, et al.         Expires November 21, 2019              [Page 30]


Internet-Draft       Segment Routing Policies in BGP            May 2019


   Multiple SR Policy NLRIs may be present with the same <color,
   endpoint> tuple but with different content when these SR policies are
   intended to different head-ends.

   The distinguisher of each SR Policy NLRI prevents undesired BGP route
   selection among these SR Policy NLRIs and allow their propagation
   across route reflectors [RFC4456].

   Moreover, one or more route-target SHOULD be attached to the
   advertisement, where each route-target identifies one or more
   intended head-ends for the advertised SR policy.

   If no route-target is attached to the SR Policy NLRI, then it is
   assumed that the originator sends the SR Policy update directly
   (e.g., through a BGP session) to the intended receiver.  In such
   case, the NO_ADVERTISE community MUST be attached to the SR Policy
   update.

4.2.  Reception of an SR Policy NLRI

   On reception of an SR Policy NLRI, a BGP speaker MUST determine if
   it's first acceptable, then it determines if it is usable.

4.2.1.  Acceptance of an SR Policy NLRI

   When a BGP speaker receives an SR Policy NLRI from a neighbor it has
   to determine if it's acceptable.  The following applies:

   o  The SR Policy NLRI MUST include a distinguisher, color and
      endpoint field which implies that the length of the NLRI MUST be
      either 12 or 24 octets (depending on the address family of the
      endpoint).

   o  The SR Policy update MUST have either the NO_ADVERTISE community
      or at least one route-target extended community in IPv4-address
      format.  If a router supporting this document receives an SR
      policy update with no route-target extended communities and no
      NO_ADVERTISE community, the update MUST NOT be sent to the SRPM.
      Furthermore, it SHOULD be considered to be malformed, and the
      "treat-as-withdraw" strategy of [RFC7606] is applied.

   o  The Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute MUST be attached to the BGP
      Update and MUST have a Tunnel Type TLV set to SR Policy (
      codepoint is 15, assigned by IANA (see Section 8) from the "BGP
      Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute Tunnel Types" registry).

   A router that receives an SR Policy update that is not valid
   according to these criteria MUST treat the update as malformed.  The

Internet-Draft       Segment Routing Policies in BGP            May 2019


   route MUST NOT be passed to the SRPM, and the "treat-as-withdraw"
   strategy of [RFC7606] is applied.

   A unacceptable SR Policy update that has a valid NLRI portion with
   invalid attribute portion MUST be considered as a withdraw of the SR
   Policy.

4.2.2.  Usable SR Policy NLRI

   If one or more route-targets are present, then at least one route-
   target MUST match one of the BGP Identifiers of the receiver in order
   for the update to be considered usable.  The BGP Identifier is
   defined in [RFC4271] as a 4 octet IPv4 address.  Therefore the route-
   target extended community MUST be of the same format.

   If one or more route-targets are present and no one matches any of
   the local BGP Identifiers, then, while the SR Policy NLRI is
   acceptable, it is not usable on the receiver node.  It has to be
   noted that if the receiver has been explicitly configured to do so,
   it MAY propagate the SR Policy NLRI to its neighbors as defined in
   Section 4.2.4.

   The SR Policy candidate paths encoded by the usable SR Policy NLRIs
   are sent to the SRPM.

4.2.3.  Passing a usable SR Policy NLRI to the SRPM

   Once BGP has determined that the SR Policy NLRI is usable, BGP passes
   the SR Policy candidate path to the SRPM.  Note that, along with the
   candidate path details, BGP also passes the originator information
   for breaking ties in the path-selection process as described in
   section 2.4 in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].

   The SRPM applies the rules defined in section 2 in
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy] to determine whether the SR
   Policy candidate path is valid and to select the best candidate path
   among the valid SR Policy candidate paths.

4.2.4.  Propagation of an SR Policy

   By default, a BGP node receiving an SR Policy NLRI MUST NOT propagate
   it to any EBGP neighbor.

   However, a node MAY be explicitly configured to advertise a received
   SR Policy NLRI to neighbors according to normal BGP rules (i.e., EBGP
   propagation by an ASBR or iBGP propagation by a Route-Reflector).

Internet-Draft       Segment Routing Policies in BGP            May 2019


   SR Policy NLRIs that have been determined acceptable and valid can be
   propagated, even the ones that are not usable.

   Only SR Policy NLRIs that do not have the NO_ADVERTISE community
   attached to them can be propagated.

4.3.  Flowspec and SR Policies

   The SR Policy can be carried in context of a Flowspec NLRI
   ([RFC5575]).  In this case, when the redirect to IP next-hop is
   specified as in [I-D.ietf-idr-flowspec-redirect-ip], the tunnel to
   the next-hop is specified by the segment list in the Segment List
   sub-TLVs.  The Segment List (e.g., label stack or IPv6 segment list)
   is imposed to flows matching the criteria in the Flowspec route to
   steer them towards the next-hop as specified in the SR Policy SAFI
   NLRI.

   The authors of this document would like to thank Shyam Sethuram, John
   Scudder, Przemyslaw Krol, Alex Bogdanov, Nandan Saha and Ketan
   Talaulikar for their comments and review of this document.

7.  Implementation Status

   Note to RFC Editor: Please remove this section prior to publication,
   as well as the reference to RFC 7942.

   This section records the status of known implementations of the
   protocol defined by this specification at the time of posting of this
   Internet-Draft, and is based on a proposal described in [RFC7942].
   The description of implementations in this section is intended to
   assist the IETF in its decision processes in progressing drafts to
   RFCs.  Please note that the listing of any individual implementation
   here does not imply endorsement by the IETF.  Furthermore, no effort
   has been spent to verify the information presented here that was
   supplied by IETF contributors.  This is not intended as, and must not
   be construed to be, a catalog of available implementations or their
   features.  Readers are advised to note that other implementations may
   exist.

   According to [RFC7942], "this will allow reviewers and working groups
   to assign due consideration to documents that have the benefit of
   running code, which may serve as evidence of valuable experimentation
   and feedback that have made the implemented protocols more mature.
   It is up to the individual working groups to use this information as
   they see fit".

   Several early implementations exist and will be reported in detail in
   a forthcoming version of this document.  For purposes of early
   interoperability testing, when no FCFS code point was available,
   implementations have made use of the following values:

   o  Preference sub-TLV: 12

   o  Binding SID sub-TLV: 13

   o  Segment List sub-TLV: 128

   When IANA-assigned values are available, implementations will be
   updated to use them.
