Distribution of Traffic Engineering (TE) Policies and State using BGP-LS
                 draft-ietf-idr-te-lsp-distribution-14

Abstract

   This document describes a mechanism to collect the Traffic
   Engineering and Policy information that is locally available in a
   node and advertise it into BGP Link State (BGP-LS) updates.  Such
   information can be used by external components for path computation,
   re-optimization, service placement, network visualization, etc.

1.  Introduction

   In many network environments, traffic engineering (TE) policies are
   instantiated into various forms:

   o  MPLS Traffic Engineering Label Switched Paths (TE-LSPs).

   o  IP based tunnels (IP in IP, GRE, etc).

   o  Segment Routing (SR) Policies as defined in
      [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy]

   o  Local MPLS cross-connect configuration

   All this information can be grouped into the same term: TE Policies.
   In the rest of this document we refer to TE Policies as the set of
   information related to the various instantiation of polices: MPLS TE
   LSPs, IP tunnels (IPv4 or IPv6), SR Policies, etc.

   TE Polices are generally instantiated at the head-end and are based
   on either local configuration or controller based programming of the
   node using various APIs and protocols, e.g., PCEP or BGP.

   In many network environments, the configuration and state of each TE
   Policy that is available in the network is required by a controller
   which allows the network operator to optimize several functions and
   operations through the use of a controller aware of both topology and
   state information.

   One example of a controller is the stateful Path Computation Element
   (PCE) [RFC8231], which could provide benefits in path reoptimization.
   While some extensions are proposed in Path Computation Element
   Communication Protocol (PCEP) for the Path Computation Clients (PCCs)
   to report the LSP states to the PCE, this mechanism may not be
   applicable in a management-based PCE architecture as specified in
   section 5.5 of [RFC4655].  As illustrated in the figure below, the

Internet-Draft  TE Policy State Distribution using BGP-LS   October 2020


   PCC is not an LSR in the routing domain, thus the head-end nodes of
   the TE-LSPs may not implement the PCEP protocol.  In this case a
   general mechanism to collect the TE-LSP states from the ingress LERs
   is needed.  This document proposes an TE Policy state collection
   mechanism complementary to the mechanism defined in [RFC8231].

                 Figure 1.  Management-Based PCE Usage

   In networks with composite PCE nodes as specified in section 5.1 of
   [RFC4655], PCE is implemented on several routers in the network, and
   the PCCs in the network can use the mechanism described in [RFC8231]
   to report the TE Policy information to the PCE nodes.  An external
   component may also need to collect the TE Policy information from all
   the PCEs in the network to obtain a global view of the LSP state in
   the network.

   In multi-area or multi-AS scenarios, each area or AS can have a child
   PCE to collect the TE Policies in its own domain, in addition, a
   parent PCE needs to collect TE Policy information from multiple child
   PCEs to obtain a global view of LSPs inside and across the domains
   involved.

   In another network scenario, a centralized controller is used for
   service placement.  Obtaining the TE Policy state information is
   quite important for making appropriate service placement decisions
   with the purpose to both meet the application's requirements and
   utilize network resources efficiently.

Internet-Draft  TE Policy State Distribution using BGP-LS   October 2020


   The Network Management System (NMS) may need to provide global
   visibility of the TE Policies in the network as part of the network
   visualization function.

   BGP has been extended to distribute link-state and traffic
   engineering information to external components [RFC7752].  Using the
   same protocol to collect Traffic Engineering Policy and state
   information is desirable for these external components since this
   avoids introducing multiple protocols for network information
   collection.  This document describes a mechanism to distribute
   traffic engineering policy information (MPLS, SR, IPv4 and IPv6) to
   external components using BGP-LS.

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.  Carrying TE Policy Information in BGP

   TE Policy information is advertised in BGP UPDATE messages using the
   MP_REACH_NLRI and MP_UNREACH_NLRI attributes [RFC4760].  The "Link-
   State NLRI" defined in [RFC7752] is extended to carry the TE Policy
   information.  BGP speakers that wish to exchange TE Policy
   information MUST use the BGP Multiprotocol Extensions Capability Code
   (1) to advertise the corresponding (AFI, SAFI) pair, as specified in
   [RFC4760].  New TLVs carried in the Link_State Attribute defined in
   [RFC7752] are also defined in order to carry the attributes of a TE
   Policy in the subsequent sections.

   The format of "Link-State NLRI" is defined in [RFC7752] as follows:

      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
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
     |            NLRI Type          |     Total NLRI Length         |
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
     |                                                               |
     //                  Link-State NLRI (variable)                 //
     |                                                               |
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   A new "NLRI Type" is defined for TE Policy Information as following:

   o  NLRI Type: TE Policy NLRI value 5.

     |                        (64 bits)                              |
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
     //                Headend (Node Descriptors)                   //
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
     //                TE Policy Descriptors (variable)             //
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

     where:

   o  Protocol-ID field specifies the component that owns the TE Policy
      state in the advertising node.  The following new Protocol-IDs are
      defined and apply to the TE Policy NLRI:

   o  TE Policy State Objects: Rather than replicating all these objects
      in this document, the semantics and encodings of the objects as
      defined in RSVP-TE and PCEP are reused.

   The state information is carried in the "MPLS-TE Policy State
   Objects" with the following format as described in the sub-sections
   below.

5.1.  RSVP Objects

   RSVP-TE objects are encoded in the "MPLS-TE Policy State Objects"
   field of the MPLS-TE Policy State TLV and consists of MPLS TE LSP
   objects defined in RSVP-TE [RFC3209] [RFC3473].  Rather than
   replicating all MPLS TE LSP related objects in this document, the
   semantics and encodings of the MPLS TE LSP objects are re-used.
   These MPLS TE LSP objects are carried in the MPLS-TE Policy State
   TLV.

   When carrying RSVP-TE objects, the "Object-Origin" field is set to
   "RSVP-TE".

   objects are also applicable to this mechanism.  Note that this list
   is not exhaustive, other MPLS TE LSP objects which reflect specific
   characteristics of the MPLS TE LSP can also be carried in the LSP
   state TLV.

5.2.  PCEP Objects

   PCEP objects are encoded in the "MPLS-TE Policy State Objects" field
   of the MPLS-TE Policy State TLV and consists of PCEP objects defined
   in [RFC5440].  Rather than replicating all MPLS TE LSP related
   objects in this document, the semantics and encodings of the MPLS TE
   LSP objects are re-used.  These MPLS TE LSP objects are carried in
   the MPLS-TE Policy State TLV.

   When carrying PCEP objects, the "Object-Origin" field is set to
   "PCEP".

   Policy State TLV.

6.  SR Policy State TLVs

   Segment Routing Policy (SR Policy) architecture is specified in
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy].  A SR Policy can comprise
   of one or more candidate paths (CP) of which at a given time one and
   only one may be active (i.e. installed in forwarding and usable for
   steering of traffic).  Each CP in turn may have one or more SID-List
   of which one or more may be active; when multiple are active then
   traffic is load balanced over them.

   This section defines the various TLVs which enable the headend to
   report the state of an SR Policy, its CP(s), SID-List(s) and their
   status.  These TLVs are carried in the optional non-transitive BGP
   Attribute "LINK_STATE Attribute" defined in [RFC7752] and enable the
   same consistent form of reporting for SR Policy state irrespective of
   the Protocol-Origin used to provision the policy.  Detailed procedure
   is described in Section 7 .

6.1.  SR Binding SID

   The SR Binding SID (BSID) is an optional TLV that provides the BSID
   and its attributes for the SR Policy CP.  The TLV MAY also optionally
   contain the Provisioned BSID value for reporting when explicitly
   provisioned.

   The TLV has the following format:

   is used to carry the disjointness constraint associated with the
   candidate path.  The disjointness between two SR Policy Candidate
   Paths is expressed by associating them with the same disjoint group
   identifier and then specifying the type of disjointness required
   between their paths.  The computation is expected to achieve the
   highest level of disjointness requested and when that is not possible
   then fallback to a lesser level progressively based on the levels
   indicated.

   The TLV has the following format:

   o  Flags: 1 octet field that indicates the validity of the metric
      fields and their semantics.  The following bit positions are
      defined and the other bits SHOULD be cleared by originator and
      MUST be ignored by receiver.

   where:

      *  M-Flag : Indicates that the metric margin allowed for path
         computation is specified when set

      *  A-Flag : Indicates that the metric margin is specified as an
         absolute value when set and is expressed as a percentage of the
         minimum metric when clear.

      *  B-Flag : Indicates that the metric bound allowed for the path
         is specified when set.

      *  V-Flag : Indicates that the metric value computed is being
         reported when set.

   o  RESERVED: 2 octets.  SHOULD be set to 0 by originator and MUST be
      ignored by receiver.

   o  Metric Margin : 4 octets which indicate the metric margin value
      when M-flag is set.  The metric margin is specified as either an
      absolute value or as a percentage of the minimum computed path
      metric based on the A-flag.  The metric margin loosens the
      criteria for minimum metric path calculation up to the specified
      metric to accomodate for other factors such as bandwidth
      availability, minimal SID stack depth and maximizing of ECMP for
      the SR path computed.

   o  Metric Bound : 4 octects which indicate the maximum metric value
      that is allowed when B-flag is set.  If the computed path metric
      crosses the specified bound value then the path is considered as
      invalid.

   o  Metric Value : 4 octets which indicate the metric value of the
      computed path when V-flag is set.  This value is available and
      reported when the computation is successful and a valid path is
      available.

7.  Procedures

   The BGP-LS advertisements for the TE Policy NLRI are originated by
   the headend node for the TE Policies that are instantiated on its
   local node.

   For MPLS TE LSPs signaled via RSVP-TE, the NLRI descriptor TLVs as
   specified in Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3 and Section 4.4
   are used.  Then the TE LSP state is encoded in the BGP-LS Attribute
   field as MPLS-TE Policy State TLV as described in Section 5.  The
   RSVP-TE objects that reflect the state of the LSP are included as
   defined in Section 5.1.  When the TE LSP is setup with the help of
   PCEP signaling then another MPLS-TE Policy State TLV SHOULD be used
   to to encode the related PCEP objects corresponding to the LSP as
   defined in Section 5.2.

   For SR Policies, the NLRI descriptor TLV as specified in Section 4.5
   is used.  An SR Policy candidate path (CP) may be instantiated on the
   headend node via a local configuration, PCEP or BGP SR Policy
   signaling and this is indicated via the SR Protocol Origin.  Then the
   SR Policy Candidate Path's attribute and state is encoded in the BGP-
   LS Attribute field as SR Policy State TLVs and sub-TLVs as described
   in Section 6.  The SR Candidate Path State TLV as defined in
   Section 6.2 is included to report the state of the CP.  The SR BSID
   TLV as defined in Section 6.1 is included to report the BSID of the
   CP when one is either provisioned or allocated by the headend.  The
   constraints for the SR Policy Candidate Path are reported using the
   SR Candidate Path Constraints TLV as described in Section 6.4.The SR
   Segment List TLV is included for each of the SID-List(s) associated
   with the CP.  Each SR Segment List TLV in turn includes SR Segment
   sub-TLV(s) to report the segment(s) and their status.  The SR Segment
   List Metric sub-TLV is used to report the metric values and
   constraints for the specific SID List.

   When the SR Policy CP is setup with the help of PCEP signaling then
   another MPLS-TE Policy State TLV MAY be used to to encode the related
   PCEP objects corresponding to the LSP as defined in Section 5.2
   specifically to report information and status that is not covered by
   the defined TLVs under Section 6.  In the event of a conflict of
   information, the receiver MUST prefer the information originated via
   TLVs defined in Section 6 over the PCEP objects reported via the TE
   Policy State TLV.

8.  Manageability Considerations

   The Existing BGP operational and management procedures apply to this
   document.  No new procedures are defined in this document.  The
   considerations as specified in [RFC7752] apply to this document.

Internet-Draft  TE Policy State Distribution using BGP-LS   October 2020


   In general, it is assumed that the TE Policy head-end nodes are
   responsible for the distribution of TE Policy state information,
   while other nodes, e.g. the nodes in the path of a policy, MAY report
   the TE Policy information (if available) when needed.  For example,
   the border routers in the inter-domain case will also distribute LSP
   state information since the ingress node may not have the complete
   information for the end-to-end path.

9.  IANA Considerations

   This document requires new IANA assigned codepoints.

9.1.  BGP-LS NLRI-Types

   IANA maintains a registry called "Border Gateway Protocol - Link
   State (BGP-LS) Parameters" with a sub-registry called "BGP-LS NLRI-

9.2.  BGP-LS Protocol-IDs

   IANA maintains a registry called "Border Gateway Protocol - Link
   State (BGP-LS) Parameters" with a sub-registry called "BGP-LS
   Protocol-IDs".

   The following Protocol-ID codepoints have been assigned by early
   allocation process by IANA:
