     Abstract
     
     There are many scenarios in which Traffic Engineering (TE) metrics
     such as cost, latency and latency variation associated with a
     Forwarding Adjacency (FA) or Routing Adjacency (RA) Label Switched
     Path (LSP) are not available to the ingress and egress nodes. This
     draft provides extensions for the Resource ReserVation Protocol-
     Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) for the support of the discovery of
     cost, latency and latency variation of an LSP.

     1. Introduction
     
        In certain networks, such as financial information networks,
        network performance information (e.g. latency, latency
        variation) is becoming as critical to data path selection as
        other metrics [DRAFT-OSPF-TE-METRIC], [DRAFT-ISIS-TE-METRIC]. If
        cost, latency or latency variation associated with a Forwarding
        Adjacency (FA) or a Routing Adjacency (RA) LSP is not available
        to the ingress or egress node, it cannot be advertised as an
        attribute of the FA or RA. There are scenarios in packet and
        optical networks where the route information of an LSP may not
        be provided to the ingress node for confidentiality reasons
        and/or the ingress node may not run the same routing instance as
        the intermediate nodes traversed by the path. In such scenarios,
        the ingress node cannot determine the cost, latency and latency
        variation properties of the LSP's route.
     
        One possible way to address this issue is to configure cost,
        latency and latency variation values manually. However, in the
        event of an LSP being rerouted (e.g. due to re-optimization),
        such configuration information may become invalid. Consequently,
        in cases where that an LSP is advertised as a TE-Link, the
        ingress and/or egress nodes cannot provide the correct latency,
        latency variation and cost attribute associated with the TE-Link
        automatically.
     
        In summary, there is a requirement for the ingress and egress
        nodes to learn the cost, latency and latency variation
        attributes of an FA or RA LSP. This draft provides extensions to
        the Resource ReserVation Protocol-Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE)
        for the support of the automatic discovery of these attributes.
     
     1.1. Use Cases
     
     1.1.1. GMPLS
     
        In Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) networks
        signaling bidirectional LSPs, the egress node cannot determine
        the cost, latency and latency variation properties of the LSP
        path.  A multi-domain or multi-layer network is an example of
        such networks. A GMPLS User-Network Interface (UNI) [RFC4208] is
        also an example of such networks.

     1.1.2. Inter-area tunnels with loose-hops
     
        When a LSP is established over multiple IGP-areas using loose
        hops in the ERO, the ingress node only has knowledge of the
        first IGP-area traversed by the LSP. In this case, it cannot
        determine the cost, latency and latency variation properties of
        the LSP path.
     
     2. RSVP-TE Requirements
     
        This section outlines RSVP-TE requirements for the support of
        the automatic discovery of cost, latency and latency variation
        attributes of an LSP. These requirements are very similar to the
        requirement of discovering the Shared Risk Link Groups (SRLGs)
        associated with the route taken by an LSP [DRAFT-SRLG-
        RECORDING].
     
     2.1. Cost, Latency and Latency Variation Collection Indication
     
           The ingress node of the LSP must be capable of indicating
        whether the cost, latency and latency variation attributes of
        the LSP should be collected during the signaling procedure of
        setting up the LSP. No cost, latency or latency variation
        information is collected without an explicit request being made
        by the ingress node.
     
     2.2. Cost, Latency and Latency Variation Collection
     
           If requested, cost, latency and latency variation is
        collected during the setup of an LSP. The endpoints of the LSP
        may use the collected information for routing, flooding and TE
        link configuration and other purposes.
     
     2.3. Cost, Latency and Latency Variation Update
     
           When the cost, latency or latency variation property of a TE
        link along the route of a LSP for which that property was
        collected changes (e.g., if the administrator changes the cost
        of a TE link traversed by the LSP), the node where the change
        occurred needs to be capable of updating the cost, latency and
        latency variation information of the path and signaling this to
        the end-points. Similarly, if a path segment of the LSP is
        rerouted, the endpoints of the re-routed segment need to be
        capable of updating the cost, latency and latency variation
        information of the path. Any node which adds cost, latency or
        latency variation information to an LSP during initial setup,
        needs to signal changes to these values to both endpoints.
     
     2.4. Cost Definition
     
        Although the terms latency and latency variation are well
        understood, "cost" may be ambiguous; in particular, in the
     Ali, Swallow, Filsfils         Expires Dec. 2015         [Page 4]


     Internet-Draft    draft-ietf-teas-te-metric-recording-01.txt
     
        context of a LSP that traverses nodes and links operated by
        different entities, there may be no common definition of cost.
        However, there are situations in which the entire LSP may be
        within a single AS (e.g. inter-area LSPs) in which cost
        discovery is useful.
     
        The precise meaning and interpretation of numerical costs is a
        matter for the network operator. For the purposes of this
        document, two constraints are assumed:
     
          .  A higher cost represents an inferior path
     
          .  Simple addition of costs for different sections of a path
             must make sense.
     
     3. RSVP-TE signaling extensions
     
     3.1. Cost, Latency and Latency Variation Collection Flags
     
        In order to indicate nodes that cost, latency and/ or latency
        variation collection is desired, the following three Attribute
        flags are defined in the Attribute Flags TLV:
     
        - Cost Collection flag (to be assigned by IANA)
     
        - Latency Collection flag (to be assigned by IANA)
     
        - Latency Variation Collection flag (to be assigned by IANA)
     
        These flags are set and carried in either the LSP_ATTRIBUTES or
        LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTES Objects in a Path message.
     
     3.2. Cost Subobject
     
        The Cost subobject is a new RRO (ROUTE_RECORD OBJECT) sub-object
        used to record the cost information of the LSP. Its format is
        similar to the other RRO subobjects defined in [RFC3209].

     4. Signaling Procedures
     
        The rules for processing the LSP_ATTRIBUTES and
        LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTES Objects and RRO defined in [RFC5420] are
        not changed.
     
     4.1. Collection request
     
        Typically, the ingress node learns the route of an LSP by adding
        a RRO in the Path message. If an ingress node also desires cost,
        latency and/or latency variation recording, it MUST set the
        appropriate flag(s) in the Attribute Flags TLV of the
        LSP_ATTRIBUTES (if recording is desired but not mandatory) or
        LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTES (if recording in mandatory) Object.
        None, all or any of the Cost Collection, Latency Collection or
        Latency Variation Collection flags MAY be set in the Attribute
        Flags TLV of the LSP_ATTRIBUTES or LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTES
        Object. These flags affect both Path and Resv RRO processing, as
        described below.

     4.3. Metric Update
     
        When the cost, latency and/or latency variation information of a
        link is changed, the corresponding metric values for the LSPs
        using that link should also be updated.  If node has added Cost,
        Latency and/or Latency Variation subobjects to the Path or Resv
        RRO, the procedures defined in Section 4.4.3 of RFC 3209
        [RFC3209] MUST be used to communicate any changes to relevant
        information to the other nodes on the LSP's path. The node need
        not send an update for changes to information which has not been
        added to the RRO.

     5. Endpoint processing
     
        The ingress and egress nodes of a LSP may calculate the end-to-
        end cost, latency and/or latency variation properties of the LSP
        from the supplied values in the Resv or Path RRO respectively.
     
        Typically, cost and latency are additive metrics, but latency
        variation is not an additive metric. The means by which the
        ingress and egress nodes compute the end-to-end cost, latency
        and latency variation metric from information recorded in the
        RRO is a local decision and is beyond the scope of this
        document.
     
        Based on the local policy, the ingress and egress nodes can
        advertise the calculated end-to-end cost, latency and/or latency
        variation properties of the FA or RA LSP in TE link
        advertisement to the routing instance based on the procedure
        described in [DRAFT-OSPF-TE-METRIC], [DRAFT-ISIS-TE-METRIC].
     
        Based on the local policy, a transit node (e.g. the edge node of
        a domain) may edit a Path or Resv RRO to remove route
        information (e.g. node or interface identifier information)
        before forwarding it. A node that does this SHOULD summarize the
        cost, latency and latency variation data and SHOULD follow
        procedure defined in [DRAFT-RRO-EDIT]. How a node that performs
        the RRO edit operation calculates the cost, latency o and/or
        latency variation metric is beyond the scope of this document.
     
     6. Security Considerations
     
        This document does not introduce any additional security issues
        above those identified in [RFC5920], [RFC5420], [RFC2205],
        [RFC3209], and [RFC3473].
     
     7. IANA Considerations
     
     7.1. RSVP Attribute Bit Flags
     
           The IANA has created a registry and manages the space of
        attributes bit flags of Attribute Flags TLV as described in
        section 11.3 of [RFC5420]. It is requested that the IANA makes
        assignments from the Attribute Bit Flags defined in this
        document.
     
           This document introduces the following three new Attribute
        Bit Flag:
     
              - Bit number: TBD (recommended bit position 11)
     
              - Defining RFC: this I-D
     
              - Name of bit: Cost Collection Flag

              - Defining RFC: this I-D
     
              - Name of bit: Latency Collection Flag

              - Name of bit: Latency Variation Flag
     
     
     
        5.2. ROUTE_RECORD subobject
     
           This document introduces the following three new RRO
        subobject:
     
                     Type       Name                        Reference
     
                     ---------  ----------------------      ---------
     
                     TBD (35)   Cost subobject              This I-D
     
                     TBD (36)   Latency subobject           This I-D
     
                     TBD (37)   Latency Variation subobject This I-D
     
     7.2. New RSVP error sub-code
     
        For Error Code = 2 "Policy Control Failure" (see [RFC2205]) the
        following sub-code is defined.
     
           Sub-code                              Value
           --------                              -----
     
           Cost Recoding Rejected                To be assigned by IANA.
                                                 Suggested Value: 105.
     
           Latency Recoding Rejected             To be assigned by IANA.
                                                 Suggested Value: 106.
     
           Latency Variation Recoding Rejected   To be assigned by IANA.
                                                 Suggested Value: 107.
