Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 1. Specification of Requirements 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. 2. Introduction Network availability is a critical metric for service providers as it has a direct bearing on their profitability. Outages translate not only to lost revenue but also to potential penalties mandated by contractual agreements with customers running mission-critical applications that require tight SLAs. This is true for any carrier network, and networks employing Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN) technology are no exception. Network high-availability can be achieved by employing intra and inter-chassis redundancy mechanisms. The focus of this document is on the latter. The document defines an Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol (ICCP) that allows synchronization of state and configuration data between a set of two or more PEs forming a Redundancy Group (RG). The protocol supports multi-chassis redundancy mechanisms that can be employed on either the attachment circuit or pseudowire front. 3. ICCP Overview 3.1. Redundancy Model & Topology The focus of this document is on PE node redundancy. It is assumed that a set of two or more PE nodes are designated by the operator to form a Redundancy Group (RG). Members of a Redundancy Group fall under a single administration (e.g. service provider) and employ a common redundancy mechanism towards the access (attachment circuits or access pseudowires) and/or towards the core (pseudowires) for any given service instance. It is possible, however, for members of an RG to make use of disparate redundancy mechanisms for disjoint services. The PE devices may be offering any type of L2VPN service, i.e. VPWS or VPLS. As a matter of fact, the use of ICCP may even be applicable for Layer 3 service redundancy, but this is considered to be outside the scope of this document. The PEs in an RG offer multi-homed connectivity to either individual devices (e.g. CE, DSLAM, etc...) or entire networks (e.g. access network). Figure 1 below depicts the model. Martini, et al. [Page 4]

The specifics of the mechanism are out of the scope of this document. However, it is assumed that the PEs in the RG are required to communicate amongst each other in order for the access redundancy mechanism to operate correctly. As such, it is required to run an inter-chassis communication protocol among the PEs in the RG in order to synchronize configuration and/or running state data. Furthermore, the presence of the inter-chassis communication channel allows simplification of the pseudowire redundancy mechanism. This is primarily because it allows the PEs within an RG to run some arbitration algorithm to elect which pseudowire(s) should be in active or standby mode for a given service instance. The PEs can then advertise the outcome of the arbitration to the remote-end PE(s), as opposed to having to embed a hand-shake procedure into the pseudowire redundancy status communication mechanism, and every other possible Layer 2 status communication mechanism. Martini, et al. [Page 5]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 3.2. ICCP Interconnect Scenarios When referring to 'interconnect' in this section, we are concerned with the links or networks over which Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol messages are transported, and not normal data traffic between PEs. The PEs which are members of an RG may be either physically co-located or geo-redundant. Furthermore, the physical interconnect between the PEs over which ICCP is to run may comprise of either dedicated back-to-back links or a shared connection through the packet switched network (PSN); for e.g., MPLS core network. This gives rise to a matrix of four interconnect scenarios, described next. 3.2.1. Co-located Dedicated Interconnect In this scenario, the PEs within an RG are co-located in the same physical location (POP, CO). Furthermore, dedicated links provide the interconnect for ICCP among the PEs. +=================+ +-----------------+ |CO | | | | +-----+ | | | | | PE1 |________|_____| | | | | | | | | +-----+ | | | | || | | | | || ICCP | | Core | | || | | Network | | +-----+ | | | | | PE2 |________|_____| | | | | | | | | +-----+ | | | | | | | +=================+ +-----------------+ Figure 2: ICCP Co-located PEs Dedicated Interconnect Scenario Given that the PEs are connected back-to-back in this case, it is possible to rely on Layer 2 redundancy mechanisms to guarantee the robustness of the ICCP interconnect. For example, if the interconnect comprises of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet links, it is possible to provide link redundancy by means of IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation Groups. Martini, et al. [Page 6]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 3.2.2. Co-located Shared Interconnect In this scenario, the PEs within an RG are co-located in the same physical location (POP, CO). However, unlike the previous scenario, there are no dedicated links between the PEs. The interconnect for ICCP is provided through the core network to which the PEs are connected. Figure 3 depicts this model. +=================+ +-----------------+ |CO | | | | +-----+ | | | | | PE1 |________|_____| | | | |<=================+ | | +-----+ ICCP | | || | | | | || | | | | || Core | | | | || Network | | +-----+ | | || | | | PE2 |________|_____| || | | | |<=================+ | | +-----+ | | | | | | | +=================+ +-----------------+ Figure 3: ICCP Co-located PEs Shared Interconnect Scenario Given that the PEs in the RG are connected over the packet switched network (PSN), then PSN Layer mechanisms can be leveraged to ensure the resiliency of the interconnect against connectivity failures. For example, it is possible to employ RSVP LSPs with Fast Re-Route (FRR) and/or end-to-end backup LSPs. 3.2.3. Geo-redundant Dedicated Interconnect In this variation, the PEs within a Redundancy Group are located in different physical locations to provide geographic redundancy. This may be desirable, for example, to protect against natural disasters or the like. A dedicated interconnect is provided to link the PEs, which is a costly option, especially when considering the possibility of providing multiple such links for interconnect robustness. The resiliency mechanisms for the interconnect are similar to those highlighted in the co-located interconnect counterpart. Martini, et al. [Page 7]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 +=================+ +-----------------+ |CO 1 | | | | +-----+ | | | | | PE1 |________|_____| | | | | | | | | +-----+ | | | +=====||==========+ | | || ICCP | Core | +=====||==========+ | Network | | +-----+ | | | | | PE2 |________|_____| | | | | | | | | +-----+ | | | |CO 2 | | | +=================+ +-----------------+ Figure 4: ICCP Geo-redundant PEs Dedicated Interconnect Scenario 3.2.4. Geo-redundant Shared Interconnect In this scenario, the PEs of an RG are located in different physical locations and the interconnect for ICCP is provided over the PSN network to which the PEs are connected. This interconnect option is more likely to be the one used for geo-redundancy as it is more economically appealing compared to the geo-redundant dedicated interconnect. The resiliency mechanisms that can be employed to guarantee the robustness of the ICCP transport are PSN Layer mechanisms as has been described in the "Co-located Shared Interconnect" section above. Martini, et al. [Page 8]

ICCP Requirements The Inter-chassis Communication Protocol SHOULD satisfy the following requirements: -i. Provide a control channel for communication between PEs in a Redundancy Group (RG). Nodes may be co-located or remote (refer to "Interconnect Scenarios" section above). It is expected that client applications which make use of ICCP services will only use this channel to communicate control information and not data-traffic. As such the protocol should cater for relatively low bandwidth, low-delay and highly reliable message transfer. -ii. Accommodate multiple client applications (e.g. multi-chassis LACP, PW redundancy, SONET APS, etc...). This implies that the messages should be extensible (e.g. TLV-based) and the protocol should provide a robust application registration and versioning scheme. -iii. Provide reliable message transport and in-order delivery between nodes in a RG with secure authentication mechanisms built into the protocol. The redundancy applications that are clients of ICCP expect reliable message transfer, and as such will assume that the protocol takes care of flow- control and retransmissions. Furthermore, given that the applications will rely on ICCP to communicate data used to synchronize state-machines on disparate nodes, it is Martini, et al. [Page 9]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 critical that ICCP guarantees in-order message delivery. Loss of messages or out-of-sequence messages would have adverse side-effects to the operation of the client applications. -iv. Provide a common mechanism to actively monitor the health of PEs in an RG. This mechanism will be used to detect PE node failure and inform the client applications. The applications require this to trigger failover according to the procedures of the employed redundancy protocol on the AC and PW. It is desired to achieve sub-second detection of loss of remote node (~ 50 - 150 msec) in order to give the client applications (redundancy mechanisms) enough reaction time to achieve sub-second service restoration time. -v. Provide asynchronous event-driven state update, independent of periodic messages, for immediate notification of client applications' state changes. In other words, the transmission of messages carrying application data should be on-demand rather than timer-based to minimize inter-chassis state synchronization delay. -vi. Accommodate multi-link and multi-hop interconnect between nodes. When the devices within an RG are located in different physical locations, the physical interconnect between them will comprise of a network rather than a link. As such, ICCP should accommodate the case where the interconnect involves multiple hops. Furthermore, it is possible to have multiple (redundant) paths or interconnects between a given pair of devices. This is true for both the co-located and geo-redundant scenarios. ICCP should handle this as well. -vii. Ensure transport security between devices in an RG. This is especially important in the scenario where the members of an RG are located in different physical locations and connected over a shared network (e.g. PSN). -viii. Must allow operator to statically configure members of RG. Auto-discovery may be considered in the future. -ix. Allow for flexible RG membership. It is expected that only two nodes per an RG will cover most of the redundancy applications for common deployments. ICCP should not preclude supporting more than two nodes in an RG by virtue of design. Furthermore, it is required to allow a single node to be member of multiple RGs simultaneously. Martini, et al. [Page 10]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 4. ICC LDP Protocol Extension Specification To address the requirements identified in the previous section, ICCP is modeled to comprise of three layers: -i. Application Layer: This provides the interface to the various redundancy applications that make use of the services of ICCP. ICCP is concerned with defining common connection management procedures and the formats of the messages exchanged at this layer; however, beyond that, it does not impose any restrictions on the procedures or state-machines of the clients, as these are deemed application-specific and lie outside the scope of ICCP. This guarantees implementation inter-operability without placing any unnecessary constraints on internal design specifics. -ii. Inter Chassis Communication (ICC) Layer: This layer implements the common set of services which ICCP offers to the client applications. It handles protocol versioning, RG membership, Redundant Object identification, PE node identification and ICCP connection management. -iii. Transport Layer: This layer provides the actual ICCP message transport. It is responsible for addressing, route resolution, flow-control, reliable and in-order message delivery, connectivity resiliency/redundancy and finally PE node failure detection. The Transport layer may differ depending on the Physical Layer of the inter-connect. 4.1. LDP ICCP Capability Advertisement When an RG is enabled on a particular PE, the capability of supporting ICCP must be advertised to all LDP peers in that RG. This is achieved by using the methods in [LDP-CAP] and advertising the ICCP LDP capability TLV. If an LDP peer supports the dynamic capability advertisement, this can be done by sending a new capability message with the S bit set for the ICCP capability TLV when the first RG is enabled on the PE. If the peer does not support dynamic capability advertisement, then the ICCP TLV MUST be included in the LDP initialization procedures in the capability parameter [LDP-CAP]. Martini, et al. [Page 11]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 4.2. RG Membership Management ICCP defines a mechanism that enables PE nodes to manage their RG membership. When a PE is configured to be a member of an RG, it will first advertise the ICCP capability to its peers. Subsequently, the PE sends an RG Connect message to the peers that have also advertised ICCP capability. The PE then waits for the peers to send their own RG Connect messages, if they haven't done so already. For a given RG, the ICCP connection between two devices is considered to be operational only when both have sent and received ICCP RG Connect messages for that RG. If a PE that has sent a particular RG Connect message doesn't receive a corresponding RG Connect (or a Notification message with NAK) from a destination, it will remain in a state expecting the corresponding RG Connect message (or Notification message). The RG will not become operational until the corresponding RG Connect Message has been received. If a PE that has sent an RG Connect message receives a Notification message with a NAK, it will stop attempting to bring up the ICCP connection immediately. The PE MUST resume bringing up the connection after it receives an RG Connect message from the peer PE for the RG in question. This is achieved by responding to the incoming RG Connect message with an appropriate RG Connect. A device MUST send a NAK for an RG Connect message if at least one of the following conditions is satisfied: -i. the PE is not a member of the RG; -ii. the maximum number of simultaneous ICCP connections that the PE can handle is exceeded. A PE sends an RG Disconnect message to tear down the ICCP connection for a given RG. This is a unilateral operation and doesn't require any acknowledgement from the other PEs. Note that the ICCP connection for an RG MUST be operational before any client application can make use of ICCP services in that RG. 4.3. Redundant Object Identification ICCP offers its client applications a uniform mechanism for identifying links, ports, forwarding constructs and more generally objects (e.g. interfaces, pseudowires, VLANs, etc...) that are being protected in a redundant setup. These are referred to as Redundant Objects (RO). An example of an RO is a multi-chassis link-aggregation group that spans two PEs. ICCP introduces a 64-bit opaque identifier to uniquely identify ROs in an RG. This identifier, referred to as Martini, et al. [Page 12]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 Redundant Object ID (ROID), MUST match between RG members for the protected object in question. That allows separate systems in an RG to use a common handle to reference the protected entity irrespective of its nature (e.g. physical or virtual) and in a manner that is agnostic to implementation specifics. Client applications that need to synchronize state pertaining to a particular RO SHOULD embed the corresponding ROID in their TLVs. 4.4. Application Connection Management ICCP provides a common set of procedures by which applications on one PE can connect to their counterparts on another PE, for purpose of inter-chassis communication in the context of a given RG. The prerequisite for establishing an application connection is to have an operational ICCP RG connection between the two endpoints. It is assumed that the association of applications with RGs is known a priori, e.g. by means of device configuration. ICCP then sends an Application-specific Connect TLV (carried in RG Connect message), on behalf of each client application, to each remote PE within the RG. The client may piggyback application-specific information in that Connect TLV, which for example can be used to negotiate parameters or attributes prior to bringing up the actual application connection. The procedures for bringing up the application connection are similar to those of the ICCP connection: An application connection between two nodes is up only when both nodes have sent and received RG Connect Messages with the proper Application-specific Connect TLVs. A PE MUST send a Notification Message to NAK an application connection request if one of the following conditions is encountered: -i. the application doesn't exist or is not configured for that RG; -ii. the application connection count exceeds the PE's capabilities. When a PE receives such a NAK notification, it MUST stop attempting to bring up the application connection until it receives a new application connection request from the remote PE. This is done by responding to the incoming RG Connect message (carrying an Application-specific Connect TLV) with an appropriate RG Connect message (carrying a corresponding Application-specific Connect TLV). When an application is stopped on a device or it is no longer associated with an RG, it MUST signal ICCP to trigger sending an Application-specific Disconnect TLV (in the RG Disconnect message). This is a unilateral notification to the other PEs within an RG, and Martini, et al. [Page 13]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 as such doesn't trigger any response. 4.5. Application Versioning During application connection setup time, a given application on one PE can negotiate with its counterpart on a peer PE the proper application version to use for communication. If no common version is agreed upon, then the application connection is not brought up. This is achieved through the following set of rules: - If an application receives an Application-specific Connect TLV with a version number that is higher than its own, it MUST send a Notification message with a NAK TLV indicating status code "Incompatible Protocol Version" and supplying the version that is locally supported by the PE. - If an application receives an Application-specific Connect TLV with a version number that is lower than its own, it MAY respond with an RG Connect that has an Application-specific Connect TLV using the same version that was received. Alternatively, the application MAY respond with a Notification message to NAK the request using the "Incompatible Protocol Version" code, and supplying the version that is supported. The above allows an application to operate in either backwards compatible or incompatible mode. - If an application receives an Application-specific Connect TLV with a version that is equal to its own, then the application MUST honor or reject the request based on whether the application is configured for the RG in question, and whether or not the application connection count has been exceeded. 4.6. Application Data Transfer When an application has information to transfer over ICCP it triggers the transmission of an Application Data message. ICCP guarantees in- order and loss-less delivery of data. An application may NAK a message or a set of one or more TLVs within a message by using the Notification Message with NAK TLV. Furthermore, an application may implement its own ACK mechanism, if deemed required, by defining an application-specific TLV to be transported in an Application Data message. It is left up to the application to define the procedures to handle the situation where a PE receives a NAK in response to a transmitted Application Data message. Depending on the specifics of the Martini, et al. [Page 14]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 application, it may be favorable to have the PE, which sent the NAK, explicitly request retransmission of data. On the other hand, for certain applications it may be more suitable to have the original sender of the Application Data message handle retransmissions in response to a NAK. ICCP supports both models. 4.7. Dedicated Redundancy Group LDP session For certain ICCP applications, it is required to exchange a fairly large amount of RG information in a very short period of time. In order to better distribute the load in a multiple processor system, and to avoid head of line blocking to other LDP applications, it may be required to initiate a separate TCP/IP session between the two LDP speakers. This procedure is OPTIONAL, and does not change the operation of LDP or ICCP. A PE that requires a separate LDP session will advertise a separate LDP adjacency with a non-zero label space identifier. This will cause the remote peer to open a separate LDP session for this label space. No labels need to be advertised in this label space, as it is only used for one or a set of ICCP RGs. All relevant LDP and ICCP procedures still apply as described in the relevant documents. 5. ICCP PE Node Failure Detection Mechanism ICCP provides its client applications a notification when a remote PE that is member of the RG fails. This is used by the client applications to trigger failover according to the procedures of the employed redundancy protocol on the AC and PW. To that end, ICCP does not define its own KeepAlive mechanism for purpose of monitoring the health of remote PE nodes, but rather reuses existing fault detection mechanisms. The following mechanisms may be used by ICCP to detect PE node failure: - BFD Run a BFD session [BFD] between the PEs that are members of a given RG, and use that to detect PE node failure. This assumes that resiliency mechanisms are in place to protect connectivity to the remote PE nodes, and hence loss of BFD periodic messages from a given PE node can only mean that the node itself has failed. Martini, et al. [Page 15]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 - IP Reachability Monitoring It is possible for a PE to monitor IP layer connectivity to other members of an RG that are participating in IGP/BGP. When connectivity to a given PE is lost, the local PE interprets that to mean loss of the remote PE node. This assumes that resiliency mechanisms are in place to protect the route to the remote PE nodes, and hence loss of IP reachability to a given node can only mean that the node itself has failed. It is worth noting here that loss of the LDP session with a PE in an RG is not a reliable indicator that the remote PE itself is down. It is possible, for e.g. that the remote PE encounters a local event that leads to resetting the LDP session, while the PE node remains operational for purpose of traffic forwarding. 6. ICCP Message Formats This section defines the messages exchanged at the Application and ICC layers. 6.1. Encoding ICC into LDP Messages ICCP requires reliable, in-order, state-full message delivery, as well as capability negotiation between PEs. The LDP protocol offers all these features, and is already in wide use in the applications that would also require the ICCP protocol extensions. For these reasons, ICCP takes advantage of the already defined LDP protocol infrastructure. [RFC5036] Section 3.5 defines a generic LDP message structure. A new set of LDP message types is defined to communicate the ICCP information. LDP message types in the range of 0x700 to 0x7ff will be used for ICCP. Message types are allocated by IANA, and requested in the IANA section below. 6.1.1. ICC Header Every ICCP message comprises of an ICC specific LDP Header followed by message data. The format of the ICC Header is as follows: Martini, et al. [Page 16]

Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 - Message ID Four octet value used to identify this message. Used by the sending PE to facilitate identifying RG Notification messages that may apply to this message. A PE sending an RG Notification message in response to this message SHOULD include this Message ID in the "NAK TLV" of the RG Notification message; see Section "RG Notification Message". - ICC RG ID TLV A TLV of type 0x0005, length 4, containing 4 octets unsigned integer designating the Redundancy Group which the sending device is member of. RG ID value 0x00000000 is reserved by the protocol. - Mandatory Parameters Variable length set of required message parameters. Some messages have no required parameters. For messages that have required parameters, the required parameters MUST appear in the order specified by the individual message specifications in the sections that follow. - Optional Parameters Variable length set of optional message parameters. Many messages have no optional parameters. For messages that have optional parameters, the optional parameters may appear in any order. 6.1.2. Message Encoding The generic format of an ICC parameter is: 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |U|F| Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | TLV(s) | ~ ~ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Martini, et al. [Page 18]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 - U-bit Unknown TLV bit. Upon receipt of an unknown TLV, if U is clear (=0), a notification MUST be returned to the message originator and the entire message MUST be ignored; if U is set (=1), the unknown TLV MUST be silently ignored and the rest of the message processed as if the unknown TLV did not exist. The sections following that define TLVs specify a value for the U-bit. - F-bit Forward unknown TLV bit. This bit applies only when the U-bit is set and the LDP message containing the unknown TLV is to be forwarded. If F is clear (=0), the unknown TLV is not forwarded with the containing message; if F is set (=1), the unknown TLV is forwarded with the containing message. The sections following that define TLVs specify a value for the F-bit. By setting both the U- and F-bits, a TLV can be propagated as opaque data through nodes that do not recognize the TLV. - Type Fourteen bits indicating the parameter type. - Length Length of the TLV in octets excluding the U-bit, F-bit, Type, and Length fields. - TLV(s): A set of 0 or more TLVs, that vary according to the message type. 6.1.3. ROID Encoding The Redundant Object Identifier (ROID) is a generic opaque handle that uniquely identifies a Redundant Object (e.g. link, bundle, VLAN, etc...) which is being protected in an RG. It is encoded 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | ROID | + + | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Martini, et al. [Page 19]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 where: ROID is an 8 octets field encoded as an unsigned integer. The ROID is carried within application specific TLVs. 6.2. RG Connect Message The RG Connect Message is used to establish the ICCP RG connection in addition to individual Application connections between PEs in an RG. An RG Connect message with no "Application-specific connect TLV" signals establishment of the ICCP RG connection. Whereas, an RG Connect message with a valid "Application-specific connect TLV" signals the establishment of an Application connection, in addition to the ICCP RG connection if the latter is not already established. An implementation MAY send a dedicated RG Connect message to set up the ICCP RG connection and a separate RG Connect message per client application. However, all implementations MUST support the receipt of an RG Connect message that triggers the setup of the ICCP RG connection as well as a single Application connection simultaneously. A PE sends an RG Connect Message to declare its membership in a Redundancy Group. One such message should be sent to each PE that is member of the same RG. The set of PEs to which RG Connect Messages should be transmitted is known via configuration or an auto-discovery mechanism that is outside the scope of this specification. If a device is member of multiple RGs, it MUST send separate RG Connect Messages for each RG even if the receiving device(s) happen to be the same. The format of the RG Connect Message is as follows: -i. ICC header with Message type = "RG Connect Message" (0x0700) -ii. ICC Sender Name TLV -iii. Zero or one Application-specific connect TLV The currently defined Application-specific connect TLVs are: - PW Redundancy Connect TLV - mLACP Connect TLV The details of these TLVs are discussed in the "Application TLVs" section. The RG Connect message can contain zero or one Application-specific connect TLV, but no application connect TLV can be sent more than once. Martini, et al. [Page 20]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 6.2.1. ICC Sender Name TLV A TLV that carries the hostname of the sender encoded in UTF-8. This is used primarily for purpose of management of the RG and easing network operations. The specific format is shown below: 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |U|F| Type = 0x0001 | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Sender Name | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ~ ~ | ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ - U=F=0 - Type set to 0x0001 (from ICC parameter name space). - Length Length of the TLV in octets excluding the U-bit, F-bit, Type, and Length fields. - Sender Name Hostname of sending device encoded in UTF-8, and SHOULD NOT exceed 80 characters. 6.3. RG Disconnect Message The RG Disconnect Message serves dual-purpose: to signal that a particular Application connection is being closed within an RG, or that the ICCP RG connection itself is being disconnected because the PE wishes to leave the RG. The format of this message is: Martini, et al. [Page 21]

Allowed values are "ICCP RG Removed" and "ICCP Application Removed from RG". - Optional Application-specific Disconnect TLV Zero or one Application-specific Disconnect TLVs which are defined later in the document. If the RG Disconnect message has a status code of "RG Removed", then it MUST NOT contain any Application-specific Disconnect TLVs, as the sending PE is signaling that it has left the RG and, thus, is disconnecting the ICCP RG connection, with all associated client application connections. If the message has a status code of "Application Removed from RG", then it MUST contain exactly one Application- specific Disconnect TLV, as the sending PE is only tearing down the connection for the specified application. Other applications, and the ICCP RG connection are not to be affected. Martini, et al. [Page 23]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 - Optional Parameter TLVs None are defined for this message in this document. This is specified to allow for future extensions. 6.4. RG Notification Message A PE sends an RG Notification Message to indicate one of the following: to reject an ICCP connection, to reject an application connection, to NAK an entire message or to NAK one or more TLV(s) within a message. The Notification message can only be sent to a PE that is already part of an RG. The RG Notification Message MUST NOT be used to NAK messages or TLVs corresponding to multiple ICCP applications simultaneously. In other words, there is a limit of at most a single ICCP application per RG Notification Message. The format of the RG Notification Message is: -i. ICC header with Message type = "RG Notification Message" (0x0702) -ii. Notification Message TLVs. The currently defined Notification message TLVs are: -i. ICC Sender Name TLV -ii. NAK TLV. 6.4.1. Notification Message TLVs The ICC Sender Name TLV uses the same format as in the RG Connect message, and was described above. The NAK TLV is defined as follows: Martini, et al. [Page 24]

Pseudowire Redundancy Application Procedures This section defines the procedures for the Pseudowire Redundancy (PW-RED) Application. 9.1.1. Initial Setup When an RG is configured on a system and multi-chassis pseudowire redundancy is enabled in that RG, the PW-RED application should send an "RG Connect" message with "PW-RED Connect TLV" to each PE that is a member of the same RG. When the system receives a similar "RG Connect" messages from a PE, the two devices can start exchanging "RG Application Data" messages for the PW-RED application. If a system receives an "RG Connect" message with "PW-RED Connect TLV" that has a differing Protocol Version, it must follow the procedures outlined in the "Application Versioning" section above. Martini, et al. [Page 49]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 When the PW-RED application is disabled on the device, or is unconfigured for the RG in question, the system should send an "RG Disconnect" message with "PW-RED Disconnect TLV". 9.1.2. Pseudowire Configuration A system should advertise its local PW configuration to other PEs that are members of the same RG. This allows the PEs to build a view of the redundant nodes and pseudowires that are protecting the same service instances. The advertisement should be initiated when the PW-RED application connection first comes up, as well as upon any subsequent PW configuration change. To that end, the system should send "RG Application Data" messages with "PW-RED Config TLV". It is possible to send configuration information for multiple PWs in a single "RG Application Data" message. The "Service Name TLV" is used on the receiving system for the purpose of associating PW information advertised by some PE with the corresponding AC information received over ICCP from that PE's AC redundancy application. The Service Name has a global context in an RG, so redundant PWs for the same service on disparate member PEs should share the same Service Name, in order to be correlated. 9.1.3. Pseudowire Status Synchronization On a given PE, the forwarding status of the PW (Active or Standby) is derived from the state of the associated AC(s). This simplifies the operation of the multi-chassis redundancy solution (Figure 1) and eliminates the possibility of deadlock conditions between the AC and PW redundancy mechanisms. The rules by which the PW state is derived from the AC state are as follows: - VPWS For VPWS, there's a single AC per service instance. If the AC is Active, then the PW status should be Active. If the AC is Standby, then the PW status should be Standby. - VPLS For VPLS, there could be multiple ACs per service instance (i.e. VFI). If AT LEAST ONE AC is Active, then the PW status should be Active. If ALL ACs are Standby, then the PW status should be Standby. The PW-RED application does not synchronize PW status across chassis, Martini, et al. [Page 50]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 per se. Rather, the AC Redundancy application should synchronize AC status between chassis, in order to determine which AC (and subsequently which PE) is Active or Standby for a given service. When that is determined, each PE will then adjust its local PWs state according to the rules described above. 9.1.4. PE Node Failure When a PE node detects that a remote PE, that is member of the same RG, has gone down, the local PE examines if it has redundant PWs for the affected services. If the local PE has the highest priority (after the failed PE) then it becomes the active node for the services in question, and subsequently activates its associated PWs. 9.2. Attachment Circuit Redundancy Application Procedures 9.2.1. Common AC Procedures This section describes generic procedures for AC Redundancy applications, independent of the type of the AC (ATM, FR or Ethernet). 9.2.2. AC Failure When the AC Redundancy mechanism on the Active PE detects a failure of the AC, it should send an ICCP Application Data message to inform the redundant PEs of the need to take over. The AC failures can be categorized into the following scenarios: - Failure of CE interface connecting to PE - Failure of CE uplink to PE - Failure of PE interface connecting to CE 9.2.3. PE Node Failure When a PE node detects that a remote PE, that is member of the same RG, has gone down, the local PE examines if it has redundant ACs for the affected services. If the local PE has the highest priority (after the failed PE) then it becomes the active node for the services in question, and subsequently activates its associated ACs. Martini, et al. [Page 51]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 9.2.4. PE Isolation When a PE node detects that is has been isolated from the core network (i.e. all core facing interfaces/links are not operational), then it should instruct its AC Redundancy mechanism to change the status of any active ACs to Standby. The AC Redundancy application should then send ICCP Application Data messages in order to trigger failover to a standby PE. 9.2.5. ATM AC Procedures 9.2.6. Frame Relay AC Procedures 9.2.7. Ethernet AC Procedures 9.2.8. Multi-chassis LACP (mLACP) Application Procedures This section defines the procedures that are specific to the multi- chassis LACP (mLACP) application. 9.2.8.1. Initial Setup When an RG is configured on a system and mLACP is enabled in that RG, the mLACP application MUST send an "RG Connect" message with "mLACP Connect TLV" to each PE that is member of the same RG. When the system receives similar "RG Connect" message from a PE, the two devices can start exchanging "RG Application Data" messages for the mLACP application. This involves having each PE advertise its mLACP configuration and operational state in an unsolicited manner. A PE SHOULD subscribe to the following order when advertising its mLACP state upon initial application connection setup: - Advertise system configuration - Advertise Aggregator configuration - Advertise port configuration - Advertise Aggregator state - Advertise port state A PE MUST use a pair of "mLACP Synchronization Data TLVs" to delimit the entire set of TLVs that are being sent as part of this unsolicited advertisement. If a system receives an "RG Connect" message with "mLACP Connect TLV" that has a differing Protocol Version, it MUST follow the procedures outlined in the "Application Versioning" section above. Martini, et al. [Page 52]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 After the mLACP application connection has been established, every PE MUST communicate its system level configuration to its peers via the use of "mLACP System Config TLV". This allows every PE to discover the Node ID and the locally configured System ID and System Priority values of its peers. If a PE receives an "mLACP System Config TLV" from a remote peer advertising the same Node ID value as the local system, then the PE MUST respond with an "RG Notification Message" to NAK the "mLACP System Config TLV". Furthermore, if a PE receives a NAK for an "mLACP System Config TLV" that it has advertised, the PE MUST respond to this NAK by disconnecting the mLACP Application connection and SHOULD raise an alarm to alert the network operator of potential device mis-configuration. It is necessary for all PEs in an RG to agree upon the System ID and System Priority values to be used ubiquitously. To achieve this, every PE MUST use the numerically lowest value (among RG members) for each of the two parameters. This guarantees that the PEs always agree on uniform values, which yield the highest System Priority. When the mLACP application is disabled on the device, or is unconfigured for the RG in question, the system MUST send an "RG Disconnect" message with "mLACP Disconnect TLV". 9.2.8.2. mLACP Aggregator and Port Configuration A system MUST synchronize the configuration of its mLACP enabled Aggregators and ports with other RG members. This is achieved via the use of "mLACP Aggregator Config TLVs" and "mLACP Port Config TLVs", respectively. An implementation MUST advertise the configuration of Aggregators prior to advertising the configuration of any of their associated member ports. A system MAY enforce a restriction that all ports that are to be bundled together on a given PE share the same Port Priority value. If so, the system MUST advertise this common priority in the "mLACP Aggregator Config TLV" and assert the "Priority Set" flag in such TLV. Furthermore, the system in this case MUST NOT advertise individual Port Priority values in the associated "mLACP Port Config TLVs" (i.e. the "Priority Set" flag in these TLVs should be 0). A system MAY support individual Port Priority values to be configured on ports that are to be bundled together on a PE. If so, the system MUST advertise the individual Port Priority values in the appropriate "mLACP Port Config TLVs", and MUST NOT assert the "Priority Set" flag in the corresponding "mLACP Aggregator Config TLV". Martini, et al. [Page 53]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 When the configurations of all ports for member links associated with a given Aggregator have been sent by a device, it asserts that fact by setting the "Synchronized" flag in the last port's "mLACP Port Config TLV". If an Aggregator doesn't have any candidate member ports configured, this is indicated by asserting the "Synchronized" flag in its "mLACP Aggregator Config TLV". Furthermore, for a given port/Aggregator, an implementation MUST advertise the port/Aggregator configuration prior to advertising its state (via the "mLACP Port State TLV" or "mLACP Aggregator State TLV"). If a PE receives an "mLACP Port State TLV" or "mLACP Aggregator State TLV" for a port or Aggregator that it had not learned of before via an appropriate Port or Aggregator Config TLV, then the PE MUST NAK the Port or Aggregator State TLV, and MUST request synchronization of the configuration and state of all mLACP ports as well as all mLACP Aggregators from its respective peer. When mLACP is unconfigured on a port/Aggregator, a PE MUST send a "Port/Aggregator Config TLV" with the "Purge Configuration" flag asserted. This allows receiving PEs to purge any state maintained for the decommissioned port/Aggregator. If a PE receives a "Port/Aggregator Config TLV" with the "Purge Configuration" flag asserted, and the PE is not maintaining any state for that port/Aggregator, then it MUST silently discard the TLV. 9.2.8.3. mLACP Aggregator and Port Status Synchronization PEs within an RG need to synchronize their state-machines for proper mLACP operation with a multi-homed device. This is achieved by having each system advertise its Aggregators and ports running state in "mLACP Aggregator State TLVs" and "mLACP Port State TLVs", respectively. Whenever any LACP parameter for an Aggregator or a port, whether on the Partner (i.e. multi-homed device) or the Actor (i.e. PE) side, is changed a system MUST transmit an updated TLV for the affected Aggregator and/or port. Moreover, when the administrative or operational state of an Aggregator or port changes, the system MUST transmit an updated Aggregator or port state TLV to its peers. A PE MAY request that its peer retransmit previously advertised state. This is useful for example when the PE is recovering from a soft failure and attempting to relearn state. To request such retransmissions, a PE MUST send a set of one or more "mLACP Synchronization Request TLVs". A PE MUST respond to an "mLACP Synchronization Request TLV" by sending the requested data in a set of one or more mLACP TLVs Martini, et al. [Page 54]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 delimited by a pair of "mLACP Synchronization Data TLVs". The TLVs comprising the response MUST be ordered in the RG Application Data message(s) such that the Synchronization Response TLV with the "Synchronization Data Start" flag precedes the various other mLACP TLVs encoding the requested data. These, in turn, MUST precede the Synchronization Data TLV with the "Synchronization Data End" flag. Note that the response may span across multiple RG Application Data messages, for example when MTU limits are exceeded; however, the above ordering MUST be retained across messages, and only a single pair of Synchronization Data TLVs MUST be used to delimit the response across all Application Data Messages. A PE device MAY re-advertise its mLACP state in an unsolicited manner. This is done by sending the appropriate Config and State TLVs delimited by a pair of "mLACP Synchronization Data TLVs" and using a 'Request Number' of 0. 9.2.8.4. Failure and Recovery When a PE that is active for a multi-chassis link aggregation group encounters a fault, it SHOULD attempt to fail-over to a peer PE which hosts the same RO. To that effect, the faulty PE SHOULD lower its port priority (by using a larger numeric value) and advertise this change in the "mLACP Port Priority TLV". If the PE is not capable of lowering its own port priority any further, it SHOULD trigger a failover to the redundant PE by sending an "mLACP Port Priority TLV" in which it requests the redundant PE to raise the latter's port priority to the maximum permitted in [IEEE802.3ad] (i.e. the smallest allowed numeric value) for the Aggregator in question. Furthermore, the PE SHOULD set its own port priority to the next smallest numeric value. Upon recovery from a previous fault, a PE MAY reclaim active role for a multi-chassis link aggregation group if configured for revertive protection. Otherwise, the recovering PE may assume standby role when configured for non-revertive protection. In the revertive scenario, a PE SHOULD assume active role within the RG by sending an "mLACP Port Priority TLV" to the currently active PE, requesting that the latter change its port priority to a value that is lower (i.e. numerically larger) for the Aggregator in question. If a system is operating in a mode where different ports of a bundle are configured with different Port Priorities, then the system MUST NOT advertise or request change of Port Priority values for aggregated ports collectively (i.e. by using a 'Port Number' of 0 in the "mLACP Port Priority TLV"). This is to avoid ambiguity in the interpretation of the 'Last Port Priority' field. Martini, et al. [Page 55]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 If a PE receives an "mLACP Port Priority TLV" requesting a priority change for a port or Aggregator that is not local to the device, then the PE MUST NAK the "mLACP Port Priority TLV", and MUST re-advertise the local configuration and state of all its mLACP ports and Aggregators. If a PE receives an "mLACP Port Priority TLV" in which the remote system is advertising priority change for a port or Aggregator that the local PE had not learned of before via an appropriate Port or Aggregator Config TLV, then the PE MUST NAK the Port or Aggregator State TLV, and MUST request synchronization of the configuration and state of all mLACP ports as well as all mLACP Aggregators from its respective peer. 10. Security Considerations The security considerations described in [RFC5036] and [RFC4447] that apply to the base LDP specification, and to the PW LDP control protocol extensions apply to the capability mechanism described in this document. The ICCP protocol is not intended to be applicable when the redundancy group spans PE in different administrative domains. Furthermore, implementations SHOULD provide a mechanism to select to which LDP peers the ICCP capability will be advertised, and from which LDP peers the ICCP messages will be accepted. 11. IANA Considerations 11.1. MESSAGE TYPE NAME SPACE This document uses several new LDP message types, IANA already maintains a registry of name "MESSAGE TYPE NAME SPACE" defined by [RFC5036]. The following values are suggested for assignment: Message type Description 0x0700 RG Connect Message 0x0701 RG Disconnect Message 0x0702 RG Notification Message 0x0703 RG Application Data Message Martini, et al. [Page 56]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 11.2. TLV TYPE NAME SPACE This document use a new LDP TLV type, IANA already maintains a registry of name "TLV TYPE NAME SPACE" defined by [RFC5036]. The following value is suggested for assignment: TLV Type Description 0x700 ICCP capability TLV. 0x701 LDP TCP/IP Port TLV. 11.3. ICC RG Parameter Type Space IANA needs to set up a registry of "ICC RG parameter type". These are 14-bit values. Parameter Type values 1 through 0x000F are specified in this document, Parameter Type values 0x0010 through 0x1FFF are to be assigned by IANA, using the "Expert Review" policy defined in [RFC5226]. Parameter Type values 0x2000 through 0x2FFF, 0x3FFF, and 0 are to be allocated using the IETF consensus policy defined in [RFC5226]. Parameter Type values 0x3000 through 0x3FFE are reserved for vendor proprietary extensions and are to be assigned by IANA, using the "First Come First Served" policy defined in [RFC5226]. A Parameter Type description is required for any assignment from this registry. Additionally, for the vendor proprietary extensions range a citation of a person or company name is also required. A document reference should also be provided. Initial ICC RG parameter type space value allocations are specified below: Parameter Type Description Reference -------------- --------------------------------- --------- 0x0001 ICC Sender Name [RFCxxxx] 0x0002 NAK TLV [RFCxxxx] 0x0003 Requested Protocol Version TLV [RFCxxxx] 0x0004 Disconnect Code TLV [RFCxxxx] 0x0005 ICC RG ID TLV [RFCxxxx] 0x0010 PW-RED Connect TLV [RFCxxxx] 0x0011 PW-RED Disconnect TLV [RFCxxxx] 0x0012 PW-RED Config TLV [RFCxxxx] 0x0013 Service Name TLV [RFCxxxx] 0x0014 PW ID TLV [RFCxxxx] 0x0015 Generalized PW ID TLV [RFCxxxx] 0x0030 mLACP Connect TLV [RFCxxxx] 0x0031 mLACP Disconnect TLV [RFCxxxx] 0x0032 mLACP System Config TLV [RFCxxxx] 0x0033 mLACP Port Config TLV [RFCxxxx] Martini, et al. [Page 57]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-pwe3-iccp-00.txt June 18, 2009 0x0034 mLACP Port Priority TLV [RFCxxxx] 0x0035 mLACP Port State TLV [RFCxxxx] 0x0036 mLACP Aggregator Config TLV [RFCxxxx] 0x0037 mLACP Aggregator State TLV [RFCxxxx] 0x0038 mLACP Synchronization Request TLV [RFCxxxx] 0x0039 mLACP Synchronization Data TLV [RFCxxxx] 11.4. STATUS CODE NAME SPACE This document use several new Status codes, IANA already maintains a registry of name "STATUS CODE NAME SPACE" defined by [RFC5036]. The following values is suggested for assignment: The "E" column is the required setting of the Status Code E-bit. Range/Value E Description Reference ------------- ----- ---------------------- --------- 0x00010001 0 Unknown ICCP RG 0x00010002 0 ICCP Connection Count Exceeded 0x00010003 0 ICCP Application Connection Count Exceeded 0x00010004 0 ICCP Application not in RG 0x00010005 0 Incompatible ICCP Protocol Version 0x00010006 0 ICCP Rejected Message 0x00010007 0 ICCP Administratively Disabled 0x00010010 0 ICCP RG Removed 0x00010011 0 ICCP Application Removed from RG 12.
