1. Introduction
Path diversity for multiple connections is a well-known Service
Provider requirement. Diversity constraints ensure that Label-
Switched Paths (LSPs) can be established without sharing
resources, thus greatly reducing the probability of simultaneous
connection failures.
When a source node has full topological knowledge and is permitted
to signal an Explicit Route Object, diverse paths for LSPs can be
computed by this source node. However, there are scenarios when
Expires June 2015 [Page 2]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-teas-lsp-diversity-00.txt
path computations are performed by different nodes, and there is
therefore a need for relevant diversity constraints to be
communicated to those nodes. These include (but are not limited
to):
. LSPs with loose hops in the Explicit Route Object (ERO), e.g.
inter-domain LSPs;
. Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) User-
Network Interface (UNI), where path computation may be
performed by the core node [RFC4208].
[RFC4874] introduced a means of specifying nodes and resources to
be excluded from a route, using the eXclude Route Object (XRO) and
Explicit Exclusion Route Subobject (EXRS). It facilitates the
calculation of diverse paths for LSPs based on known properties of
those paths including addresses of links and nodes traversed, and
Shared Risk Link Groups (SRLGs) of traversed links. Employing
these mechanisms requires that the source node that initiates
signaling knows the relevant properties of the path(s) from which
diversity is desired. However, there are circumstances under which
this may not be possible or desirable, including (but not limited
to):
. Exclusion of a path which does not originate, terminate or
traverse the source node of the diverse LSP, in which case the
addresses of links and SRLGs of the path from which diversity
is required are unknown to the source node.
. Exclusion of a path which is known to the source node of the
diverse LSP for which the node has incomplete or no path
information, e.g. due to operator policy. In this case, the
existence of the reference path is known to the source node but
the information required to construct an XRO object to
guarantee diversity from the reference path is not fully known.
Inter-domain and GMPLS overlay networks can present such
restrictions.
This is exemplified in the Figure 1, where overlay reference
model from [RFC4208] is shown.

CN - Core Node
Figure 1: Overlay Reference Model [RFC4208]
Figure 1 depicts two types of UNI connectivity: single-homed and
dual-homed ENs (which also applies to higher order multi-homed
connectivity.). Single-homed EN devices are connected to a single
CN device via a single UNI link. This single UNI link may
constitute a single point of failure. UNI connection between EN1
and CN1 is an example of singled-homed UNI connectivity.
A single point of failure caused by a single-homed UNI can be
avoided when the EN device is connected to two different CN
devices, as depicted for EN2 in Figure 1. For the dual-homing
case, it is possible to establish two different UNI connections
from the same source EN device to the same destination EN device.
For example, two connections from EN2 to EN3 may use the two UNI
links EN2-CN1 and EN2-CN4. To avoid single points of failure
within the provider network, it is necessary to also ensure path
(LSP) diversity within the core network.
In a UNI network such as that shown in Figure 1, the CNs
typically perform path computation. Information sharing across
Expires June 2015 [Page 4]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-teas-lsp-diversity-00.txt
the UNI boundary is restricted based on the policy rules imposed
by the core network. Typically, the core network topology
information is not exposed to the ENs. In the network shown in
Figure 1, consider a use case where an LSP from EN2 to EN4 needs
to be SRLG diverse from an LSP from EN1 to EN3. In this case, EN2
may not know SRLG attributes of the EN1- EN3 LSP and hence cannot
construct an XRO to exclude these SRLGs. In this example EN2
cannot use the procedures described in [RFC4874]. Similarly, an
LSP from EN2 to EN3 traversing CN1 needs to be diverse from an
LSP from EN2 to EN3 going via CN4. Again in this case, exclusions
based on [RFC4874] cannot be used.
This document addresses these diversity requirements by
introducing the notion of excluding the path taken by particular
LSP(s). The reference LSP(s) or route(s) from which diversity is
required is/are identified by an "identifier". The type of
identifier to use is highly dependent on the networking
deployment scenario; it could be client-initiated, allocated by
the (core) network or managed by a PCE. This document defines
three different types of identifiers corresponding to these three
cases: a client initiated identifier, a PCE allocated Identifier
and CN ingress node (UNI-N) allocated Identifier.
1.1. Client-Initiated Identifier
There are scenarios in which the ENs have the following
requirements for the diversity identifier:
- The identifier is controlled by the client side and is
specified as part of the service request.
- Both client and server understand the identifier.
- It is necessary to be able to reference the identifier even if
the LSP referenced by it is not yet signaled.
- The identifier is to be stable for a long period of time.
- The identifier is to be stable even when the referenced tunnel
is rerouted.
- The identifier is to be human-readable.
These requirements are met by using the Resource ReserVation
Protocol (RSVP) tunnel/ LSP Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) as
the identifier.
Expires June 2015 [Page 5]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-teas-lsp-diversity-00.txt
The usage of the client-initiated identifier is illustrated by
using Figure 1. Suppose a tunnel from EN2 to EN4 needs to be
diverse with respect to a tunnel from EN1 to EN3. The tunnel FEC
of the EN1-EN3 tunnel is FEC1, where FEC1 is defined by the tuple
(tunnel-id = T1, source address = EN1.ROUTE Identifier (RID),
destination address = EN3.RID, extended tunnel-id = EN1.RID).
Similarly, tunnel FEC of the EN2-EN3 tunnel is FEC2, where FEC2
is defined by the tuple (tunnel-id = T2, source address =
EN2.RID, destination address = EN4.RID, extended tunnel-id =
EN2.RID). The EN1-EN3 tunnel is signaled with an exclusion
requirement from FEC2, and the EN2-EN3 tunnel is signaled with an
exclusion requirement from FEC1. In order to maintain diversity
between these two connections within the core network, it is
assumed that the core network implements Crankback Signaling
[RFC4920]. Note that crankback signaling is known to lead to
slower setup times and sub-optimal paths under some circumstances
as described by [RFC4920].
1.2. PCE-allocated Identifier
In scenarios where a PCE is deployed and used to perform path
computation, the core edge node (e.g., node CN1 in Figure 1)
could consult a PCE to allocate identifiers, which are used to
signal path diversity constraints. In other scenarios a PCE is
deployed in each border node or a PCE is part of a Network
Management System (NMS). In all these cases, the Path Key as
defined in [RFC5520] can be used in RSVP signaling as the
identifier to ensure diversity.
An example of specifying LSP diversity using a Path Key is shown
in Figure 2, where a simple network with two domains is shown. It
is desired to set up a pair of path-disjoint LSPs from the source
in Domain 1 to the destination in Domain 2, but the domains keep
strict confidentiality about all path and topology information.
The first LSP is signaled by the source with ERO {A, B, loose Dst}
and is set up with the path {Src, A, B, U, V, W, Dst}. However,
when sending the RRO out of Domain 2, node U would normally strip
the path and replace it with a loose hop to the destination. With
this limited information, the source is unable to include enough
detail in the ERO of the second LSP to avoid it taking, for
example, the path {Src, C, D, X, V, W, Dst} for path-disjointness.

--------------------- -----------------------------
Figure 1: A Simple Multi-Domain Network
In order to improve the situation, node U performs the PCE
function and replaces the path segment {U, V, W} in the RRO with
a Path Key Subobject. The Path Key Subobject assigns an
"identifier" to the key. The PCE ID in the message indicates that
it was node U that made the replacement.
With this additional information, the source is able to signal
the subsequent LSPs with the ERO set to {C, D, exclude Path
Key(EXRS), loose Dst}. When the signaling message reaches node X,
it can consult node U to expand the Path Key and know how to
avoid the path of the first LSP. Alternatively, the source could
use an ERO of {C, D, loose Dst} and include an XRO containing the
Path Key.
This mechanism can work with all the Path-Key resolution
mechanisms, as detailed in [RFC5553] section 3.1. A PCE, co-
located or not, may be used to resolve the Path-Key, but the node
(i.e., a Label Switching Router (LSR)) can also use the Path Key
information to index a Path Segment previously supplied to it by
the entity that originated the Path-Key, for example the LSR that
inserted the Path-Key in the RRO or a management system.
1.3. Network-Assigned Identifier
There are scenarios in which the network provides diversity-
related information for a service that allows the client device
to include this information in the signaling message. If the
Shared Resource Link Group (SRLG) identifier information is both
available and shareable (by policy) with the ENs, the procedure
Expires June 2015 [Page 7]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-teas-lsp-diversity-00.txt
defined in [DRAFT-SRLG-RECORDING] can be used to collect SRLG
identifiers associated with an LSP (LSP1). When a second LSP
(LSP2) needs to be diverse with respect to LSP1, the EN
constructing the RSVP signaling message for setting up LSP2 can
insert the SRLG identifiers associated with LSP1 as diversity
constraints into the XRO using the procedure described in
[RFC4874]. However, if the core network SRLG identifiers are
either not available or not shareable with the ENs based on
policies enforced by core network, existing mechanisms cannot be
used.
In this draft, a signaling mechanism is defined where information
signaled to the CN via the UNI does not require shared knowledge
of core network SRLG information. For this purpose, the concept
of a Path Affinity Set (PAS) is used for abstracting SRLG
information. The motive behind the introduction of the PAS is to
minimize the exchange of diversity information between the core
network (CNs) and the client devices (ENs). The PAS contains an
abstract SRLG identifier associated with a given path rather than
a detailed SRLG list. The PAS is a single identifier that can be
used to request diversity and associate diversity. The means by
which the processing node determines the path corresponding to
the PAS is beyond the scope of this document.
A CN on the core network boundary interprets the specific PAS
identifier (e.g. "123") as meaning to exclude the core network
SRLG information (or equivalent) that has been allocated by LSPs
associated with this PAS identifier value. For example, if a Path
exists for the LSP with the identifier "123", the CN would use
local knowledge of the core network SRLGs associated with the
"123" LSPs and use those SRLGs as constraints for path
computation. If a PAS identifier is included for exclusion in the
connection request, the CN (UNI-N) in the core network is assumed
to be able to determine the existing core network SRLG
information and calculate a path that meets the determined
diversity constraints.
When a CN satisfies a connection setup for a (SRLG) diverse
signaled path, the CN may optionally record the core network SRLG
information for that connection in terms of CN based parameters
and associates that with the EN addresses in the Path message.
Specifically for Layer-1 Virtual Private Networks (L1VPNs), Port
Information Tables (PIT) [RFC5251] can be leveraged to translate
between client (EN) addresses and core network addresses.
The PAS and the associated SRLG information can be distributed
within the core network by an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) or
Expires June 2015 [Page 8]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-teas-lsp-diversity-00.txt
by other means such as configuration. They can then be utilized
by other CNs when other ENs are requesting paths to be setup that
would require path/connection diversity. In the VPN case, this
information is distributed on a VPN basis and contains a PAS
identifier, CN addresses and SRLG information. In this way, on a
VPN basis, the core network can have additional opaque records
for the PAS values for various Paths along with the SRLG list
associated with the Path. This information is internal to the
core network and is known only to the core network.

2.2. Processing rules for the Diversity XRO subobject
The procedure defined in [RFC4874] for processing XRO and EXRS is
not changed by this document. If the processing node cannot
recognize the IPv4/ IPv6 Diversity XRO subobject, the node is
expected to follow the procedure defined in [RFC4874].
An XRO object MAY contain multiple Diversity subobjects. E.g., In
order to exclude multiple Path Keys, an EN may include multiple
Diversity XRO subobjects each with a different Path Key.
Similarly, in order to exclude multiple PAS identifiers, an EN
may include multiple Diversity XRO subobjects each with a
different PAS identifier. However, all Diversity subobjects in an
XRO SHOULD contain the same Diversity Identifier Type. If a Path
message contains an XRO with Diversity subobjects with multiple
Diversity Identifier Types, the processing node SHOULD return a
PathErr with the error code "Routing Problem" (24) and error sub-
code "XRO Too Complex" (68).
The attribute-flags affect the processing of the Diversity XRO
subobject as follows:
o When the "destination node exception" flag is set, the
exclusion SHOULD be ignored for the destination node.
o When the "processing node exception" flag is set, the
exclusion SHOULD be ignored for the processing node. The
processing node is the node performing path calculation.
Expires June 2015 [Page 17]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-teas-lsp-diversity-00.txt
o When the "penultimate node exception" flag is set, the
exclusion SHOULD be ignored for the penultimate node on
the path of the LSP being established.
o The "LSP ID to be ignored" flag is only defined for the
"IPv4/ IPv6 Client Initiated Identifier" diversity types.
When the Diversity Identifier Type is set to any other
value, this flag SHOULD NOT be set on transmission and
MUST be ignored in processing. When this flag is not set,
the lsp-id is not ignored and the exclusion applies only
to the specified LSP (i.e., LSP level exclusion).
If the L-flag of the diversity XRO subobject is not set, the
processing node proceeds as follows.
- "IPv4/ IPv6 Client Initiated Identifiers" Diversity Type: the
processing node MUST ensure that any path calculated for the
signaled LSP is diverse from the RSVP TE FEC identified by the
client in the XRO subobject.
- "IPv4/ IPv6 PCE Allocated Identifiers" Diversity Type: the
processing node MUST ensure that any path calculated for the
signaled LSP is diverse from the route identified by the Path-
Key. The processing node MAY use the PCE identified by the IPv4
Diversity Identifier source address in the subobject for route
computation. The processing node MAY use the Path-Key
resolution mechanisms described in [RFC5553].
- "IPv4/ IPv6 Network Assigned Identifiers" Diversity Type: the
processing node MUST ensure that the path calculated for the
signaled LSP respects the requested PAS exclusion. .
- Regardless of whether the path computation is performed
locally or at a remote node (e.g., PCE), the processing node
MUST ensure that any path calculated for the signaled LSP
respects the requested exclusion flags with respect to the
excluded path referenced by the subobject, including local
resources.
- If the excluded path referenced in the XRO subobject is
unknown to the processing node, the processing node SHOULD
ignore the diversity XRO subobject and SHOULD proceed with the
signaling request. After sending the Resv for the signaled LSP,
the processing node SHOULD return a PathErr with the error code
"Notify Error" (25) and error sub-code "Route reference in
diversity XRO identifier unknown" (value to be assigned by
IANA, suggested value: 13) for the signaled LSP.
Expires June 2015 [Page 18]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-teas-lsp-diversity-00.txt
- If the processing node fails to find a path that meets the
requested constraint, the processing node MUST return a PathErr
with the error code "Routing Problem" (24) and error sub-code
"Route blocked by Exclude Route" (67).
If the L-flag of the diversity XRO subobject is set, the
processing node proceeds as follows:
- "IPv4/ IPv6 Client Initiated Identifiers" Diversity Type: the
processing node SHOULD ensure that the path calculated for the
signaled LSP is diverse from the RSVP TE FEC identified by the
client in the XRO subobject.
- "IPv4/ IPv6 PCE Allocated Identifiers" Diversity Type: the
processing node SHOULD ensure that the path calculated for the
signaled LSP is diverse from the route identified by the Path-
Key.
"IPv4/ IPv6 Network Assigned Identifiers" Diversity Type: the
processing node SHOULD ensure that the path calculated for the
signaled LSP respects the requested PAS exclusion. The means by
which the processing node determines the path corresponding to
the PAS is beyond the scope of this document.
- The processing node SHOULD respect the requested exclusion
flags with respect to the excluded path to the extent possible.
- If the processing node fails to find a path that meets the
requested constraint, it SHOULD proceed with signaling using a
suitable path that meets the constraint as far as possible.
After sending the Resv for the signaled LSP, it SHOULD return a
PathErr message with error code "Notify Error" (25) and error
sub-code "Failed to respect Exclude Route" (value: to be
assigned by IANA, suggest value: 14) to the source node.
If, subsequent to the initial signaling of a diverse LSP:
- An excluded path referenced in the XRO subobject becomes
known to the processing node, or a change in the excluded path
becomes known to the processing node, the processing node
SHOULD re-evaluate the exclusion and diversity constraints
requested by the diverse LSP to determine whether they are
still satisfied.
- If the requested exclusion constraints for the diverse LSP are
no longer satisfied and an alternative path for the diverse LSP
that can satisfy those constraints exists, then:
Expires June 2015 [Page 19]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-teas-lsp-diversity-00.txt
o If the L-flag was not set in the original exclusion, the
processing node MUST send a PathErr message for the
diverse LSP with the error code "Routing Problem" (24) and
error sub-code "Route blocked by Exclude Route" (67). The
PSR flag SHOULD NOT be set. A source node receiving a
PathErr message with this error code and sub-code
combination SHOULD take appropriate actions to migrate the
compliant path.
o If the L-flag was set in the original exclusion, the
processing node SHOULD send a PathErr message for the
diverse LSP with the error code "Notify Error" (25) and a
new error sub-code "compliant path exists" (value: to be
assigned by IANA, suggest value: 15). The PSR flag SHOULD
NOT be set. A source node receiving a PathErr message with
this error code and sub-code combination MAY signal a new
LSP to migrate the compliant path.
- If the requested exclusion constraints for the diverse LSP are
no longer satisfied and no alternative path for the diverse LSP
that can satisfy those constraints exists, then:
o If the L-flag was not set in the original exclusion, the
processing node MUST send a PathErr message for the
diverse LSP with the error code "Routing Problem" (24) and
error sub-code "Route blocked by Exclude Route" (67). The
PSR flag SHOULD be set.
o If the L-flag was set in the original exclusion, the
processing node SHOULD send a PathErr message for the
diverse LSP with the error code error code "Notify Error"
(25) and error sub-code "Failed to respect Exclude Route"
(value: to be assigned by IANA, suggest value: 14). The
PSR flag SHOULD NOT be set.
The following rules apply whether or not the L-flag is set:
- A source node receiving a PathErr message with the error code
"Notify Error" (25) and error sub-codes "Route of XRO tunnel
identifier unknown" or "Failed to respect Exclude Route" MAY
take no action.
2.3. Diversity EXRS Subobject
[RFC4874] defines the EXRS ERO subobject. An EXRS is used to
identify abstract nodes or resources that must not or should not
be used on the path between two inclusive abstract nodes or
Expires June 2015 [Page 20]
Internet Draft draft-ietf-teas-lsp-diversity-00.txt
resources in the explicit route. An EXRS contains one or more
subobjects of its own, called EXRS subobjects [RFC4874].
An EXRS MAY include Diversity subobject as specified in this
document. In this case, the IPv4 EXRS format is 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

Similarly, the IPv6 EXRS format is as follows:

The meanings of respective fields in EXRS header are as defined
in [RFC4874]. The meanings of respective fields in the Diversity
subobject are as defined earlier in this document for the XRO
subobject.
The processing rules for the EXRS object are unchanged from
[RFC4874]. When the EXRS contains one or more Diversity
subobject(s), the processing rules specified in Section 2.2 apply
to the node processing the ERO with the EXRS subobject.
If a loose-hop expansion results in the creation of another
loose-hop in the outgoing ERO, the processing node MAY include
the EXRS in the newly created loose hop for further processing by
downstream nodes.
The processing node exception for the EXRS subobject applies to
the node processing the ERO.
The destination node exception for the EXRS subobject applies to
the explicit node identified by the ERO subobject that identifies
the next abstract node. This flag is only processed if the L bit
is set in the ERO subobject that identifies the next abstract
node.
The penultimate node exception for the EXRS subobject applies to
the node before the explicit node identified by the ERO subobject
that identifies the next abstract node. This flag is only
processed if the L bit is set in the ERO subobject that
identifies the next abstract node.
