Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping/Trace for Segment Routing Networks Using
MPLS Dataplane
draft-ietf-mpls-spring-lsp-ping-02
Abstract
Segment Routing architecture leverages the source routing and
tunneling paradigms and can be directly applied to MPLS data plane.
A node steers a packet through a controlled set of instructions
called segments, by prepending the packet with a Segment Routing
header.
The segment assignment and forwarding semantic nature of Segment
Routing raises additional consideration for connectivity verification
and fault isolation in LSP with Segment Routing architecture. This
document illustrates the problem and describe a mechanism to perform
LSP Ping and Traceroute on Segment Routing network over MPLS data
plane.

1. Introduction
[I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing] introduces and explains Segment
Routing architecture that leverages the source routing and tunneling
paradigms. A node steers a packet through a controlled set of
instructions called segments, by prepending the packet with Segment
Routing header. A detailed definition about Segment Routing
architecture is available in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing]
As defined in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-mpls], the Segment
Routing architecture can be directly applied to MPLS data plane in a
way that, the Segment identifier (Segment ID) will be of 20-bits size
and Segment Routing header is the label stack.
"Detecting Multi-Protocol Label Switched (MPLS) Data Plane Failures"
[I-D.ietf-mpls-rfc4379bis] defines a simple and efficient mechanism
to detect data plane failures in Label Switched Paths (LSP) by
specifying information to be carried in an MPLS "echo request" and
"echo reply" for the purposes of fault detection and isolation.
Mechanisms for reliably sending the echo reply are defined. The
functionality defined in [I-D.ietf-mpls-rfc4379bis] is modeled after
the ping/traceroute paradigm (ICMP echo request [RFC0792]) and is
typically referred to as LSP ping and LSP traceroute.
[I-D.ietf-mpls-rfc4379bis] supports hierarchal and stitching LSPs.
Unlike LDP or RSVP which are the other well-known MPLS control plane
protocols, segment assignment in Segment Routing architecture is not
hop-by-hop basis.
This nature of Segment Routing raises additional consideration for
fault detection and isolation in Segment Routing network. This
document illustrates the problem and describe a mechanism to perform
LSP Ping and Traceroute on Segment Routing network over MPLS data
plane.
2. Requirements notation
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 [RFC2119].

3. Terminology
This document uses the terminologies defined in
[I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing], [I-D.ietf-mpls-rfc4379bis], and so
the readers are expected to be familiar with the same.
4. Challenges with Existing mechanism
This document defines sub-TLVs for the Target FEC Stack TLV and
explains how they can be used to tackle below challenges.
4.1. Path validation in Segment Routing networks
[I-D.ietf-mpls-rfc4379bis] defines the OAM machinery that helps with
fault detection and isolation in MPLS dataplane path with the use of
various Target FEC Stack Sub-TLV that are carried in MPLS Echo
Request packets and used by the responder for FEC validation. While
it is obvious that new Sub-TLVs need to be assigned, the unique
nature of Segment Routing architecture raises a need for additional
machinery for path validation. This section discuss the challenges
as below:
L1
+--------+
| L2 |
R3-------R6
/ \
/ \
R1----R2 R7----R8
\ /
\ /
R4-------R5
Figure 1: Segment Routing network
The Node segment IDs for R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7 and R8 are 5001,
5002, 5003, 5004, 5005, 5006, 5007, 5008 respectively.
9136 --> Adjacency Segment ID from R3 to R6 over link L1.
9236 --> Adjacency Segment ID from R3 to R6 over link L2.
9124 --> Adjacency segment ID from R2 to R4.
9123 --> Adjacency Segment ID from R2 to R3.
The forwarding semantic of Adjacency Segment ID is to pop the segment
ID and send the packet to a specific neighbor over a specific link.
Kumar, et al. Expires June 4, 2017 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft LSP Ping/Trace for SR on MPLS December 2016
A malfunctioning node may forward packets using Adjacency Segment ID
to incorrect neighbor or over incorrect link. Exposed segment ID
(after incorrectly forwarded Adjacency Segment ID) might still allow
such packet to reach the intended destination, although the intended
strict traversal has been broken.
Assume in above topology, R1 sends traffic with segment stack as
{9124, 5008} so that the path taken will be R1-R2-R4-R5-R7-R8. If
the Adjacency Segment ID 9124 is misprogrammed in R2 to send the
packet to R1 or R3, it will still be delivered to R8 but is not via
the expected path.
MPLS traceroute may help with detecting such deviation in above
mentioned scenario. However, in a different example, it may not be
helpful. For example if R3, due to misprogramming, forwards packet
with Adjacency Segment ID 9236 via link L1 while it is expected to be
forwarded over Link L2.
4.2. Service Label
A Segment ID can represent a service based instruction. An Segment
Routing header can have label stack entries where the label
represents a service to be applied along the path. Since these
labels are part of the label stack, they can influence the path taken
by a packet and consequently have implications on MPLS OAM. Service
Label is left for future study.
5. Segment ID sub-TLV
The format of the following Segment ID sub-TLVs follows the
philosophy of Target FEC Stack TLV carrying FECs corresponding to
each label in the label stack. When operated with the procedures
defined in [I-D.ietf-mpls-rfc4379bis], this allows LSP ping/
traceroute operations to function when Target FEC Stack TLV contains
more FECs than received label stack at responder nodes.
Three new sub-TLVs are defined for Target FEC Stack TLVs (Type 1),
Reverse-Path Target FEC Stack TLV (Type 16) and Reply Path TLV (Type
21).

Set to 1, when the Adjacency Segment is Parallel Adjacency as
defined in section 3.5.1 of [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing].
Set to 4, when the Adjacency segment is IPv4 based and is not a

1, then the 32 rightmost bits represent OSPF Router ID and if
protocol is set to 2, this field carries 48 bit ISIS System ID.
6. Extension to Downstream Detailed Mapping TLV
In an echo reply, the Downstream Detailed Mapping TLV
[I-D.ietf-mpls-rfc4379bis] is used to report for each interface over
which a FEC could be forwarded. For a FEC, there are multiple
protocols that may be used to distribute label mapping. The
"Protocol" field of the Downstream Detailed Mapping TLV is used to
return the protocol that is used to distribute a specific a label.
The following protocols are defined in section 3.4.1.2 of
[I-D.ietf-mpls-rfc4379bis]:
Protocol # Signaling Protocol
---------- ------------------
0 Unknown
1 Static
2 BGP
3 LDP
4 RSVP-TE
With segment routing, OSPF or ISIS can be used for label
distribution, this document adds two new protocols as follows:
Protocol # Signaling Protocol
---------- ------------------
TBD5 OSPF
TBD6 ISIS
7. Procedures
This section describes aspects of LSP Ping and traceroute operations
that require further considerations beyond
[I-D.ietf-mpls-rfc4379bis].
Kumar, et al. Expires June 4, 2017 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft LSP Ping/Trace for SR on MPLS December 2016
7.1. FECs in Target FEC Stack TLV
When LSP echo request packets are generated by an initiator, FECs
carried in Target FEC Stack TLV may need to have deviating contents.
This document outlines expected Target FEC Stack TLV construction
mechanics by initiator for known scenarios.
Ping
Initiator MUST include FEC(s) corresponding to the destination
segment.
Initiator MAY include FECs corresponding to some or all of
segments imposed in the label stack by the initiator to
communicate the segments traversed.
Traceroute
Initiator MUST initially include FECs corresponding to all of
segments imposed in the label stack.
When a received echo reply contains FEC Stack Change TLV with
one or more of original segment(s) being popped, initiator MAY
remove corresponding FEC(s) from Target FEC Stack TLV in the
next (TTL+1) traceroute request as defined in section 4.6 of
[I-D.ietf-mpls-rfc4379bis].
When a received echo reply does not contain FEC Stack Change
TLV, initiator MUST NOT attempt to remove FEC(s) from Target
FEC Stack TLV in the next (TTL+1) traceroute request.
7.2. FEC Stack Change sub-TLV
Section 3.4.1.3 of [I-D.ietf-mpls-rfc4379bis] defines FEC Stack
Change sub-TLV that a router must include when the FEC stack changes.
The network node which advertised the Node Segment ID is responsible
for generating FEC Stack Change sub-TLV of &pop& operation for Node
Segment ID, regardless of if PHP is enabled or not.
The network node that is immediate downstream of the node which
advertised the Adjacency Segment ID is responsible for generating FEC
Stack Change sub-TLV of &pop& operation for Adjacency Segment ID.
Kumar, et al. Expires June 4, 2017 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft LSP Ping/Trace for SR on MPLS December 2016
7.3. Segment ID POP Operation
The forwarding semantic of Node Segment ID with PHP flag is
equivalent to usage of implicit Null in MPLS protocols. Adjacency
Segment ID is also similar in a sense that it can be thought as next
hop destined locally allocated segment that has PHP enabled.
Procedures described in Section 4.4 of [I-D.ietf-mpls-rfc4379bis]
relies on Stack-D and Stack-R explicitly having Implicit Null value.
It may simplify implementations to reuse Implicit Null for Node
Segment ID PHP and Adjacency Segment ID cases.
7.4. Segment ID Check
This section updates the procedure defined in Step 6 of section 4.4.
of [I-D.ietf-mpls-rfc4379bis]
If the Label-stack-depth is 0 and Target FEC Stack Sub-TLV at FEC-
stack-depth is 34 (IPv4 IGP-Prefix Segment ID), the responder
should set Best return code to 10, "Mapping for this FEC is not
the given label at stack-depth <RSC>" if any below conditions
fail:
/* The responder LSR is to check if it is the egress of the IPv4
IGP-Prefix Segment ID described in the Target FEC Stack Sub-TLV,
and if the FEC was advertised with the PHP bit set.*/
* Validate that Node Segment ID is advertised for IPv4 Prefix.
* Validate that Node Segment ID is advertised with No-PHP flag {
+ When Protocol is OSPF, NP-flag defined in Section 5 of
[I-D.ietf-ospf-segment-routing-extensions] should be set to
0.
+ When Protocol is ISIS, P-Flag defined in Section 2.1 of
[I-D.ietf-isis-segment-routing-extensions] should be set to
0.
* }
If the Label-stack-depth is more than 0 and Target FEC Stack Sub-
TLV at FEC-stack-depth is 34 (IPv4 IGP-Prefix Segment ID), the
responder is to set Best return code to 10 if any below conditions
fail:
* Validate that Node Segment ID is advertised for IPv4 Prefix.
Kumar, et al. Expires June 4, 2017 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft LSP Ping/Trace for SR on MPLS December 2016
If the Label-stack-depth is 0 and Target FEC Sub-TLV at FEC-stack-
depth is 35 (IPv6 IGP-Prefix Segment ID), set Best return code to
10 if any below conditions fail:
/* The LSR needs to check if its being a tail-end for the LSP and
have the prefix advertised with PHP bit set*/
* Validate that Node Segment ID is advertised for IPv6 Prefix.
* Validate that Node Segment ID is advertised of PHP bit.
If the Label-stack-depth is more than 0 and Target FEC Sub-TLV at
FEC-stack-depth is 35 (IPv6 IGP-Prefix Segment ID), set Best
return code to 10 if any below conditions fail:
* Validate that Node Segment ID is advertised for IPv6 Prefix.
If the Label-stack-depth is 0 and Target FEC sub-TLV at FEC-stack-
depth is 36 (Adjacency Segment ID), set Best return code to TBD7
(Section 10.3) if any below conditions fail:
When the Adj. Type is 1 (Parallel Adjacency):
+ Validate that Receiving Node Identifier is local IGP
identifier.
+ Validate that Adjacency Segment ID is advertised by
Advertising Node Identifier of Protocol in local IGP
database.
When the Adj. Type is 4 or 6:
+ Validate that Remote Interface ID matches the local
identifier of the interface (Interface-I) on which the
packet was received.
+ Validate that Receiving Node Identifier is local IGP
identifier.
+ Validate that IGP-Adjacency Segment ID is advertised by
Advertising Node Identifier of Protocol in local IGP
database.

Internet-Draft LSP Ping/Trace for SR on MPLS December 2016
7.5. TTL Consideration for traceroute
LSP Traceroute operation can properly traverse every hop of Segment
Routing network in Uniform Model described in [RFC3443]. If one or
more LSRs employ Short Pipe Model described in [RFC3443], then LSP
Traceroute may not be able to properly traverse every hop of Segment
Routing network due to absence of TTL copy operation when outer label
is popped. Short Pipe being the most commonly used model. The
following TTL manipulation technique MAY be used when Short Pipe
model is used.
When tracing a LSP according to the procedures in
[I-D.ietf-mpls-rfc4379bis] the TTL is incremented by one in order to
trace the path sequentially along the LSP. However when a source
routed LSP has to be traced there are as many TTLs as there are
labels in the stack. The LSR that initiates the traceroute SHOULD
start by setting the TTL to 1 for the tunnel in the LSP's label stack
it wants to start the tracing from, the TTL of all outer labels in
the stack to the max value, and the TTL of all the inner labels in
the stack to zero. Thus a typical start to the traceroute would have
a TTL of 1 for the outermost label and all the inner labels would
have TTL 0. If the FEC Stack TLV is included it should contain only
those for the inner stacked tunnels. The Return Code/Subcode and FEC
Stack Change TLV should be used to diagnose the tunnel as described
in [I-D.ietf-mpls-rfc4379bis]. When the tracing of a tunnel in the
stack is complete, then the next tunnel in the stack should be
traced. The end of a tunnel can be detected from the "Return Code"
when it indicates that the responding LSR is an egress for the stack
at depth 1. Thus the traceroute procedures in
[I-D.ietf-mpls-rfc4379bis] can be recursively applied to traceroute a
source routed LSP.
8. Issues with non-forwarding labels
Source stacking can be optionally used to apply services on the
packet at a LSR along the path, where a label in the stack is used to
trigger service application. A data plane failure detection and
isolation mechanism should provide its functionality without applying
these services. This is mandatory for services that are stateful,
though for stateless services [I-D.ietf-mpls-rfc4379bis] could be
used as-is. It MAY also provide a mechanism to detect and isolate
faults within the service function itself.
How a node treats Service label is outside the scope of this document
and will be included in this or a different document later.

9. Backward Compatibility with non Segment Routing devices
[I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-ldp-interop] describes how Segment
Routing operates in network where SR-capable and non-SR-capable nodes
coexist. In such networks, there may not be any FEC mapping in the
responder when the Initiator is SR-capable while the responder is not
(or vice-versa). But this is not different from RSVP and LDP interop
scenarios. When LSP Ping is triggered, the responder will set the
FEC-return-code to Return 4, "Replying router has no mapping for the
FEC at stack-depth".
Similarly when SR-capable node assigns Adj-SID for non-SR-capable
node, LSP trace may fail as the non-SR-capable node is not aware of
"IGP Adjacency Segment ID" sub-TLV and may not reply with FEC Stack
change. This may result in any further downstream nodes to reply
back with Return-code as 4, "Replying router has no mapping for the
FEC at stack-depth".
10. IANA Considerations
10.1. New Target FEC Stack Sub-TLVs
IANA is requested to assign three new sub-TLVs from "Sub-TLVs for TLV
Types 1, 16 and 21" sub-registry from the "Multi-Protocol Label
