Algorithm Related IGP-Adjacency SID Advertisement
draft-ietf-lsr-algorithm-related-adjacency-sid-07
Abstract
Segment Routing architecture supports the use of multiple routing
algorithms, i.e., different constraint-based shortest-path
calculations can be supported. Two standard algorithms are defined
in the segment routing architecture: SPF and Strict-SPF. There are
also other user defined algorithms according to Flex-algo
applicaiton. However, an algorithm identifier is often included as
part of a Prefix-SID advertisement, that maybe not satisfy some
scenarios where multiple algorithm share the same link resource.
This document complement that the algorithm identifier can be also
included as part of a Adjacency-SID advertisement.

1. Introduction
Segment Routing architecture [RFC8402] supports the use of multiple
routing algorithms, i.e., different constraint-based shortest-path
calculations can be supported. There are two standards algorithms,
namely SPF and Strict-SPF, are defined in Segment routing
architecture [RFC8402]. For SPF, the packet is forwarded along the
well known ECMP-aware Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm employed by
the IGPs. However, it is explicitly allowed for a midpoint to
implement another forwarding based on local policy. For Strict
Shortest Path First (Strict-SPF), it mandates that the packet be

Internet-Draft algo-related adj-sid June 2024
forwarded according to the ECMP-aware SPF algorithm and instructs any
router in the path to ignore any possible local policy overriding the
SPF decision.
There are also other user defined algorithms according to IGP Flex
Algorithm [RFC9350]. IGP Flex Algorithm proposes a solution that
allows IGPs themselves to compute constraint based paths over the
network, and it also specifies a way of using Segment Routing (SR)
Prefix-SIDs and SRv6 locators to steer packets along the constraint-
based paths. It specifies a set of extensions to ISIS, OSPFv2 and
OSPFv3 that enable a router to send TLVs that identify (a)
calculation-type, (b) specify a metric-type, and (c) describe a set
of constraints on the topology, that are to be used to compute the
best paths along the constrained topology. A given combination of
calculation-type, metric-type, and constraints is known as an FAD
(Flexible Algorithm Definition).
However, an algorithm identifier is often included as part of a
Prefix-SID advertisement, that maybe not satisfy some scenarios where
multiple algorithm share the same link resource. In addition to
Prefix-SID, this document complement that the algorithm identifier
can be also included as part of an Adjacency-SID advertisement for
SR-MPLS, so that each Flex-algo plane corresponding to different
algorithm types can be allocated with a dedicated segment ID related
to the corresponding algorithm type.
2. 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.
3. Use Cases
Typical application scenarios of the algorithm related SID are as
follows:
* A TI-LFA backup path computed in Flex-algo plane may contain
Adjacency Segments and require to contain an algorithm-aware
Adjacency-SID, which can not only steer the traffic towards the
link, but also distinguish traffic between different algorithms.
Benefit from this, for the protected Adjacency-SID which belongs
to a TI-LFA path within specific Flex-algo plane, the backup path
of such Adjacency-SID can continue to follow the algorithm
specific constraints that is consistent with the primary path.
Chen, et al. Expires 14 December 2024 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft algo-related adj-sid June 2024
* Help enhance PHBs (per hop behavior) related to specific algorithm
types on the data plane. Generally, QoS policies related to the
algorithm type of each Flex-algo plane can be configured and
installed, and the packets can be forwarded based one the
algorithm related SID and QoS policy.
* Help enhance OAM related to specific algorithm types on the
control plane and data plane, such as statistics of traffic of
different algorithms on the same link, ping/traceroute detection
(or other tools) for specific algorithm.

5. Procedures
The method introduced in this document enables the traffic of
different flex-algo plane to be distinguished when they are routed on
the same link, and can be applied with different local treatment
(such as providing different repair paths, traffic statistics, QoS
policies, etc) per algorithm.
A node may, according to each flex-algo plane (corresponding to the
specific algorithm types) which it participated in, allocate segment
identifiers corresponding to each algorithm types, and these segment
identifiers need to be flooded through IGP. As defined in Section 4,
algorithm field must be encoded in the flooded packet.
Depending on implementation, SIDs allocation is generally triggered
by configuration. For algorithm specific Adjacency-SID, one of the
difficulties is that during this configuration phase it is not
straightforward for a link to be included in an Flex-algo plane, as
this can only be determined after all nodes in the network have
negotiated the FAD. Note that Node-SID per algorithm may also face
similar difficulties (considering the abnormal situation where nodes
have to stop participating in the flex-algo plane after FAD
negotiation, referring to section 5.3 of [RFC9350]).
Developers can flexibly refer to any of the following implementation
choices.
* One choice is that as long as an IGP instance with an algorithm
enabled for a level/area is configured on the node, the node may
allocate Adjacency-SIDs for that algorithm statically for all
links joined to that level/area. Similar way may be also applied
to node-SID per algorithm. That is, algorithm specific SID can be
allocated regardless of the felx-algo participation and wining
FAD. If the router stops participating, or the link is excluded
from the flex-algo, the advertised algorithm specific SID does not
cause any issue, but is just not used.
Chen, et al. Expires 14 December 2024 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft algo-related adj-sid June 2024
* Another choice is to allocate and withdraw algorithm specific
Adjacency-SID dynamically according to the result of FAD
negotiation, i.e., algorithm specific Adjacency-SID is allocated
and advertised only for those links that have joined the Flex-algo
plane. Similar choice may be also applied to node-SID per
algorithm. This choice is RECOMMENDED.
The RECOMMENDED implementation choice also make sense for other type
of states per algorithm. A node may, according to each flex-algo
plane (corresponding to the specific algorithm types) which it
participated in, config local treatments (such as repair paths,
traffic statistics counters, QoS policies, etc) corresponding to each
algorithm types and apply them to the links that participated in the
corresponding flex-algo plane. In this case, the node may
dynamically create or delete these local treatments according to the
result of FAD negotiation.
The (LAN) Adjacency-SID per Algorithm Sub-TLV MUST not be used to
advertise algorithm 0 specific SIDs.
Note that the advertisement specification defined in Section 4 does
not have any requirements for the SID allocation rules. Some
particular advertisement method based on particular allocation rules
are not within the scope of this document.
Once the node originates an algorithm specific Adjacency-SID and
sends it to the network, the coresponding local SID entry (i.e., an
MPLS label forwarding entry) must be installed on the fowarding
plane. The local SID entry, combined with local treatments (such as
QoS polices), are used to continue to forward data packets in the
context of the specific algorithm.
A node may receive different algo-SIDs (corresponding to different
algorithm types with the related flex-algo plane) originated from
other nodes and flooded by IGP. As defined in Section 4, the
algorithm field can be gotten from the flooded packet to indicate
algorithm specific SIDs. Then, algo-SIDs, with other SIDs, are
maintained in the link state database.
If the received algorithm is not within the range [128,255], the
related (LAN) Adjacency-SID per Algorithm Sub-TLV MUST be ingored.
Chen, et al. Expires 14 December 2024 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft algo-related adj-sid June 2024
When a node receives a forwarding data packet whose active segment is
an algorithm specific Adjacency-SID and matches the coresponding
local SID entry, the node forwards the data packet to the
corresponding outgoing port and applies algorithm related local
treatments (such as QoS policies) to the packet. The local
treatments may also be applied for the case of algorithm specific
Node-SID.
5.1. Examples of Algorithm Specific Adjacency-SID
The following figure shows an example of algorithm specific
Adjacency-SID.
[S1]--------[D]--------[S2]
| | |
| | |
| | |
[A]---------[B]--------[C]
Figure 7: Flex-algo LFA Path with Algorithm Specific Adjacency-SID
Suppose that node S1, A, B, D and their inter-connected links belongs
to FA-id 128 plane, and S2, B, C, D and their inter-connected links
belongs to FA-id 129 plane. The IGP metric of link B-D is 100, and
all other links have IGP metric 1. Both FA-id 128 and 129 use IGP
default metric type for path calculation. In FA-id 128 plane, from
S1 to destination D, the primary path is S1-D, and the TI-LFA backup
path is segment list {node(B), adjacency(B-D)}. Similarly, In FA-id
129 plane, from S2 to destination D, the primary path is S2-D, and
the TI-LFA backup path is segment list {node(B), adjacency(B-D)}. The
above TI-LFA path of FA-id 128 plane can be translated to {node-
SID(B)@FA-id128, adjacency-SID(B-D)@FA-id128}, and TI-LFA path of FA-
id 129 plane will be translated to {node-SID(B)@FA-id129, adjacency-
SID(B-D)@FA-id129}. So that node B can distinguish the flows of FA-id
128 and FA-id 129 based on different adjacency-SID(B-D) and their
related label forwarding entries, and take different treatments of
them when they are forwarded to the same outgoing link B-D.
6. Deployment Considerations
When multiple flex-algos are deployed in the network and they share
the same link, multiple algorithm specific Adjacency-SIDs may need to
be allocated on such a link, to distinguish the traffic of different
algorithms and provide possible different treatment.
Chen, et al. Expires 14 December 2024 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft algo-related adj-sid June 2024
Even if a link is only used by a single flex-algo, because the link
always belongs to algorithm 0 by default, both the traditional
Adjacency-SID (termd as adj-sid@algo-0) and the algorithm specific
Adjacency-SID (termd as adj-sid@algo-x) may need to be allocated on
that link, so that the potentional repair paths of the two Adjacency-
SIDs can be distinguished.
If the topology of multiple flex-algo planes, and physical topology,
are isomorphic, that is, they contain the same nodes and same inter-
connected links, but due to the differences between these FADs (such
as different metric types), different repair paths will also be
calculated on the same topology. Therefore, multiple algorithm
specific Adjacency-SIDs may still need to be provided on the same
link.
It is not recommended to bind a link to algorithm 1 (Strict SPF) and
allocate adj-sid@algo-1. Such Adjacency-SID is no useful.
The operator may configure the policy on the node to turn off the
algorithm specific processing capability for each algorithm, and the
node will not allocate algorithm specific Adjacency-SIDs on the links
those joined to the flex-algo plane, this is a local behavior. As
mentioned before, the algorithm specific processing capability can be
further subdivided into repair path per algorithm, statistics per
algorithm, QoS policy per algorithm, etc. Assuming that a node wants
to support the capability of repair path per algorithm, in this case,
for an individual link, it is also controlled by the adjacency backup
capability. When adjacency backup is disabled, it will let the
capablitiy of repair path per algorithm be also invalid, so the link
does not need to allocate algorithm specific Adjacency-SIDs.
In any case, when instantiate a segment list (such as a TI-LFA path)
within a specific flex-algo plane, for each Adjacency Segment of that
list, if it has a corresponding algorithm specific Adjacency-SID, the
algorithm specific Adjacency-SID MUST be used to construct SID list;
if it has not, traditional Adjacency-SID can be used.
