Segment Routing Centralized BGP Peer Engineering
draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing-central-epe-03
Abstract
Segment Routing (SR) leverages source routing. A node steers a
packet through a controlled set of instructions, called segments, by
prepending the packet with an SR header. A segment can represent any
instruction topological or service-based. SR allows to enforce a
flow through any topological path and service chain while maintaining
per-flow state only at the ingress node of the SR domain.
The Segment Routing architecture can be directly applied to the MPLS
dataplane with no change on the forwarding plane. It requires minor
extension to the existing link-state routing protocols.
This document illustrates the application of Segment Routing to solve
the BGP Peer Engineering (BGP-PE) requirement. The SR-based BGP-PE
solution allows a centralized (SDN) controller to program any egress
peer policy at ingress border routers or at hosts within the domain.
This document is on the informational track.

1. Introduction
The document is structured as follows:
o Section 1 states the BGP-PE problem statement and provides the key
references.
o Section 2 defines the different BGP Peering Segments and the
semantic associated to them.
o Section 3 describes the automated allocation of BGP Peering SID's
by the BGP-PE enabled egress border router and the automated
signaling of the external peering topology and the related BGP
Peering SID's to the collector
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-segment-routing-epe].
o Section 4 overviews the components of a centralized EPE
controller. The definition of the EPE controller is outside the
scope of this document.
o Section 5 overviews the methods that could be used by the
centralized BGP-PE controller to implement a BGP-PE policy at an
ingress border router or at a source host within the domain. The
exhaustive definition of all the means to program an BGP-PE input
policy is outside the scope of this document.
For editorial reasons, the solution is described for IPv4. A later
section describes how the same solution is applicable to IPv6.
1.1. Segment Routing Documents
The main references for this document are:
o SR Problem Statement: [RFC7855].

o SR Architecture: [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing].
o Distribution of External Topology and TE Information using BGP:
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-segment-routing-epe].
The SR instantiation in the MPLS dataplane is described in
[I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-mpls].
The SR IGP protocol extensions are defined in
[I-D.ietf-isis-segment-routing-extensions],
[I-D.ietf-ospf-segment-routing-extensions] and
[I-D.ietf-ospf-ospfv3-segment-routing-extensions].
The Segment Routing PCE protocol extensions are defined in
[I-D.ietf-pce-segment-routing].
1.2. Problem Statement
The BGP-PE problem statement is defined in [RFC7855].
A centralized controller should be able to instruct an ingress
Provider Edge router (PE) or a content source within the domain to
use a specific egress PE and a specific external interface/neighbor
to reach a particular destination.
We call this solution "BGP-PE" for "BGP Peer Engineering". The
centralized controller is called the "BGP-PE Controller". The egress
border router where the BGP-PE traffic-steering functionality is
implemented is called a BGP-PE-enabled border router. The input
policy programmed at an ingress border router or at a source host is
called a BGP-PE policy.
The requirements that have motivated the solution described in this
document are listed here below:
o The solution MUST apply to the Internet use-case where the
Internet routes are assumed to use IPv4 unlabeled or IPv6
unlabeled. It is not required to place the Internet routes in a
VRF and allocate labels on a per route, or on a per-path basis.
o The solution MUST NOT make any assumption on the currently
deployed iBGP schemes (RRs, confederations or iBGP full meshes)
and MUST be able to support all of them.
o The solution MUST be applicable to iBGP as well as eBGP peerings.
o The solution SHOULD minimize the need for new BGP capabilities at
the ingress PEs.
Filsfils, et al. Expires May 24, 2017 [Page 4]
Internet-DraftSegment Routing Centralized BGP Peer EngineerNovember 2016
o The solution MUST accommodate an ingress BGP-PE policy at an
ingress PE or directly at an source host within the domain.
o The solution MUST support automated Fast Reroute (FRR) and fast
convergence mechanisms.

o Static route 192.0.2.2/32 via 198.51.100.14
C is configured with local policy that defines a BGP PeerSet as the
set of peers (198.51.100.6 and 192.0.2.2)
X is the BGP-PE controller within AS1 domain.
H is a content source within AS1 domain.
2. BGP Peering Segments
As defined in [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing], certain segments are
defined by BGP-PE capable node and corresponding to its attached
peers. These segments are called BGP peering segments or BGP Peering
SIDs. They enable the expression of source-routed inter-domain
paths.
An ingress border router of an AS may compose a list of segments to
steer a flow along a selected path within the AS, towards a selected
egress border router C of the AS and through a specific peer. At
minimum, a BGP Peering Engineering policy applied at an ingress PE
involves two segments: the Node SID of the chosen egress PE and then
the BGP Peering Segment for the chosen egress PE peer or peering
interface.
[I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing] defines three types of BGP peering
segments/SID's: PeerNodeSID, PeerAdjSID and PeerSetSID.
The BGP extensions to signal these BGP peering segments are outlined
in the following section.
3. Distribution of External Topology and TE Information using BGP-LS
In ships-in-the-night mode with respect to the pre-existing iBGP
design, a BGP-LS session is established between the BGP-PE enabled
border router and the BGP-PE controller.
As a result of its local configuration and according to the behavior
described in [I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-segment-routing-epe], node C
allocates the following BGP Peering Segments
([I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing]):
o A PeerNode segment for each of its defined peer (D, E and F).
Filsfils, et al. Expires May 24, 2017 [Page 6]
Internet-DraftSegment Routing Centralized BGP Peer EngineerNovember 2016
o A PeerAdj segment for each recursing interface to a multi-hop peer
(e.g.: the upper and lower interfaces from C to F in figure 1).
o A PeerSet segment to the set of peers (E and F).
C programs its forwarding table accordingly:
Incoming Outgoing
Label Operation Interface
------------------------------------
1012 POP link to D
1022 POP link to E
1032 POP upper link to F
1042 POP lower link to F
1052 POP load balance on any link to F
1060 POP load balance on any link to E or to F
C signals the related BGP-LS NLRI's to the BGP-PE controller. Each
such BGP-LS route is described in the following subsections according
to the encoding details defined in
[I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-segment-routing-epe].

3.6. Fast Reroute (FRR)
An BGP-PE enabled border router should allocate a FRR backup entry on
a per BGP Peering SID basis:
o PeerNode SID
1. If multi-hop, backup via the remaining PeerADJ SIDs to the
same peer.
2. Else backup via local PeerNode SID to the same AS.
3. Else pop the PeerNode SID and perform an IP lookup.
o PeerAdj SID
1. If to a multi-hop peer, backup via the remaining PeerADJ SIDs
to the same peer.
2. Else backup via PeerNode SID to the same AS.
3. Else pop the PeerNode SID and perform an IP lookup.
o PeerSet SID
1. Backup via remaining PeerNode SIDs in the same PeerSet.
2. Else pop the PeerNode SID and IP lookup.
We illustrate the different types of possible backups using the
reference diagram and considering the Peering SIDs allocated by C.
PeerNode SID 1052, allocated by C for peer F:
o Upon the failure of the upper connected link CF, C can reroute all
the traffic onto the lower CF link to the same peer (F).
Filsfils, et al. Expires May 24, 2017 [Page 9]
Internet-DraftSegment Routing Centralized BGP Peer EngineerNovember 2016
PeerNode SID 1022, allocated by C for peer E:
o Upon the failure of the connected link CE, C can reroute all the
traffic onto the link to PeerNode SID 1052 (F).
PeerNode SID 1012, allocated by C for peer D:
o Upon the failure of the connected link CD, C can pop the PeerNode
SID and lookup the IP destination address in its FIB and route
accordingly.
PeerSet SID 1060, allocated by C for the set of peers E and F:
o Upon the failure of a connected link in the group, the traffic to
PeerSet SID 1060 is rerouted on any other member of the group.
For specific business reasons, the operator might not want the
default FRR behavior applied to a PeerNode SID or any of its
dependent PeerADJ SID.
The operator should be able to associate a specific backup PeerNode
SID for a PeerNode SID: e.g., 1022 (E) must be backed up by 1012 (D)
which overrules the default behavior which would have preferred F as
a backup for E.
4. BGP-PE Controller
In this section, we provide a non-exhaustive set of inputs that an
BGP-PE controller would likely collect such as to perform the BGP-PE
policy decision.
The exhaustive definition is outside the scope of this document.
4.1. Valid Paths From Peers
The BGP-PE controller should collect all the paths advertised by all
the engineered peers.
This could be realized by setting an iBGP session with the BGP-PE
enabled border router, with "add-path all" and the original next-hop
preserved.
In this case, C would advertise the following Internet routes to the
BGP-PE controller:
o NLRI <L/8>, nhop 198.51.100.2, AS Path {AS 2, 4}
Filsfils, et al. Expires May 24, 2017 [Page 10]
Internet-DraftSegment Routing Centralized BGP Peer EngineerNovember 2016
* X (i.e.: the BGP-PE controller) knows that C receives a path to
L/8 via neighbor 198.51.100.2 of AS2.
o NLRI <L/8>, nhop 198.51.100.6, AS Path {AS 3, 4}
* X knows that C receives a path to L/8 via neighbor 198.51.100.6
of AS2.
o NLRI <L/8>, nhop 192.0.2.2, AS Path {AS 3, 4}
* X knows that C has an eBGP path to L/8 via AS3 via neighbor
192.0.2.2
An alternative option would be for an BGP-PE collector to use BGP
Monitoring Protocol (BMP) to track the Adj-RIB-In of BGP-PE enabled
border routers.
4.2. Intra-Domain Topology
The BGP-PE controller should collect the internal topology and the
related IGP SIDs.
This could be realized by collecting the IGP LSDB of each area or
running a BGP-LS session with a node in each IGP area.
4.3. External Topology
Thanks to the collected BGP-LS routes described in the section 2
(BGP-LS advertisements), the BGP-PE controller is able to maintain an
accurate description of the egress topology of node C. Furthermore,
the BGP-PE controller is able to associate BGP Peering SIDs to the
various components of the external topology.
4.4. SLA characteristics of each peer
The BGP-PE controller might collect SLA characteristics across peers.
This requires an BGP-PE solution as the SLA probes need to be steered
via non-best-path peers.
Unidirectional SLA monitoring of the desired path is likely required.
This might be possible when the application is controlled at the
source and the receiver side. Unidirectional monitoring dissociates
the SLA characteristic of the return path (which cannot usually be
controlled) from the forward path (the one of interest for pushing
content from a source to a consumer and the one which can be
controlled).
Filsfils, et al. Expires May 24, 2017 [Page 11]
Internet-DraftSegment Routing Centralized BGP Peer EngineerNovember 2016
Alternatively, Extended Metrics, as defined in [RFC7810] could also
be advertised using new BGP-LS attributes.
4.5. Traffic Matrix
The BGP-PE controller might collect the traffic matrix to its peers
or the final destinations. IPFIX is a likely option.
An alternative option consists in collecting the link utilization
statistics of each of the internal and external links, also available
in the current definition of [RFC7752].
4.6. Business Policies
The BGP-PE controller should collect business policies.
4.7. BGP-PE Policy
On the basis of all these inputs (and likely others), the BGP-PE
Controller decides to steer some demands away from their best BGP
path.
The BGP-PE policy is likely expressed as a two-entry segment list
where the first element is the IGP prefix SID of the selected egress
border router and the second element is a BGP Peering SID at the
selected egress border router.
A few examples are provided hereafter:
o Prefer egress PE C and peer AS AS2: {64, 1012}.
o Prefer egress PE C and peer AS AS3 via eBGP peer 198.51.100.6:
{64, 1022}.
o Prefer egress PE C and peer AS AS3 via eBGP peer 192.0.2.2: {64,
1052}.
o Prefer egress PE C and peer AS AS3 via interface 198.51.100.14 of
multi-hop eBGP peer 192.0.2.2: {64, 1042}.
o Prefer egress PE C and any interface to any peer in the group
1060: {64, 1060}.
Note that the first SID could be replaced by a list of segments.
This is useful when an explicit path within the domain is required
for traffic-engineering purposes. For example, if the Prefix SID of
node B is 60 and the BGP-PE controller would like to steer the
Filsfils, et al. Expires May 24, 2017 [Page 12]
Internet-DraftSegment Routing Centralized BGP Peer EngineerNovember 2016
traffic from A to C via B then through the external link to peer D
then the segment list would be {60, 64, 1012}.
5. Programming an input policy
The detailed/exhaustive description of all the means to implement an
BGP-PE policy are outside the scope of this document. A few examples
are provided in this section.
5.1. At a Host
A static IP/MPLS route can be programmed at the host H. The static
route would define a destination prefix, a next-hop and a label stack
to push. The global property of the IGP Prefix SID is particularly
convenient: the same policy could be programmed across hosts
connected to different routers.
5.2. At a router - SR Traffic Engineering tunnel
The BGP-PE controller can configure the ingress border router with an
SR traffic engineering tunnel T1 and a steering-policy S1 which
causes a certain class of traffic to be mapped on the tunnel T1.
The tunnel T1 would be configured to push the required segment list.
The tunnel and the steering policy could be configured via PCEP
according to [I-D.ietf-pce-segment-routing] and
[I-D.ietf-pce-pce-initiated-lsp] or via Netconf ([RFC6241]).
Example: at A
Tunnel T1: push {64, 1042}
IP route L/8 set nhop T1
5.3. At a Router - RFC3107 policy route
The BGP-PE Controller could build a RFC3107 ([RFC3107]) route (from
scratch) and send it to the ingress router:
o NLRI: the destination prefix to engineer: e.g., L/8.
o Next-Hop: the selected egress border router: C.
o Label: the selected egress peer: 1042.
o AS path: reflecting the selected valid AS path.
Filsfils, et al. Expires May 24, 2017 [Page 13]
Internet-DraftSegment Routing Centralized BGP Peer EngineerNovember 2016
o Some BGP policy to ensure it will be selected as best by the
ingress router.
This RFC3107 policy route "overwrites" an equivalent or less-specific
"best path". As the best-path is changed, this EPE input policy
option influences the path propagated to the upstream peer/customers.
5.4. At a Router - VPN policy route
The EPE Controller could build a VPNv4 route (from scratch) and send
it to the ingress router:
o NLRI: the destination prefix to engineer: e.g., L/8.
o Next-Hop: the selected egress border router: C.
o Label: the selected egress peer: 1042.
o Route-Target: selecting the appropriate VRF at the ingress router.
o AS path: reflecting the selected valid AS path.
o Some BGP policy to ensure it will be selected as best by the
ingress router in the related VRF.
The related VRF must be preconfigured. A VRF fallback to the main
FIB might be beneficial to avoid replicating all the "normal"
Internet paths in each VRF.
5.5. At a Router - Flowspec route
An EPE Controller builds a FlowSpec route and sends it to the ingress
router to engineer:
o Dissemination of Flow Specification Rules ([RFC5575].
o Destination/Source IP Addresses, IP Protocol, Destination/Source
port (+1 component).
o ICMP Type/Code, TCP Flags, Packet length, DSCP, Fragment.
6. IPv6
The described solution is applicable to IPv6, either with MPLS-based
or IPv6-Native segments. In both cases, the same three steps of the
solution are applicable:
Filsfils, et al. Expires May 24, 2017 [Page 14]
Internet-DraftSegment Routing Centralized BGP Peer EngineerNovember 2016
o BGP-LS-based signaling of the external topology and BGP Peering
Segments to the BGP-PE controller.
o Collection of various inputs by the BGP-PE controller to come up
with a policy decision.
o Programming at an ingress router or source host of the desired
BGP-PE policy which consists in a list of segments to push on a
defined traffic class.
7. Benefits
The BGP-PE solutions described in this document have the following
benefits:
o No assumption on the iBGP design within AS1.
o Next-Hop-Self on the Internet routes propagated to the ingress
border routers is possible. This is a common design rule to
minimize the number of IGP routes and to avoid importing external
churn into the internal routing domain.
o Consistent support for traffic-engineering within the domain and
at the external edge of the domain.
o Support both host and ingress border router BGP-PE policy
programming.
o BGP-PE functionality is only required on the BGP-PE enabled egress
border router and the BGP-PE controller: an ingress policy can be
programmed at the ingress border router without any new
functionality.
o Ability to deploy the same input policy across hosts connected to
different routers (avail the global property of IGP prefix SIDs).
