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
In an MPLS network, it is possible to carry the Protocol Data Units
(PDUs) of layer 2 protocols by prepending an MPLS label stack to
these PDUs. This document specifies the necessary encapsulation
procedures for accomplishing this. One possible control protocol
method is described in [1]. QoS related issues are not discussed in
this draft. For the purpose of this document R1 will be defined as
the ingress LSR, and R2 as the egress LSR. A layer 2 PDU will be
received at R1, encapsulated at R1, transported, decapsulated at R2,
and transmitted out of R2. In a similar way, the "VC label" is
defined as the label at the bottom of the label stack used to
transmit the layer 2 PDU.
3. General encapsulation method
When transporting layer 2 protocols over MPLS it is, in most cases,
not necessary to transport the layer 2 encapsulation across the MPLS
network. In most cases the layer 2 header can be stripped at R1, and
reproduced at R2 with the help of some extra encapsulation
information, some of which is a priori signaled, and some of which
may be carried in the control word described below.
3.1. The Control Word
There are three requirements that may need to be satisfied when
transporting layer 2 protocols over MPLS:
-i. Sequentiality may need to be preserved.
-ii. Small packets may need to be padded in order to be
transmitted on a medium where the minimum transport unit is
larger than the actual packet size.
-iii. Control bits carried in the header of the layer 2 frame may
need to be transported.
The control word defined here addresses all three of these
requirements. For some protocols this word is REQUIRED, and for
others OPTIONAL.
In all cases the the egress LSR must be aware of whether the ingress
Martini, et al. [Page 3]
Internet Draft draft-martini-l2circuit-encap-mpls-01.txt February 2001
LSR will send a control word over a specific virtual circuit. This
may be achived by configuration of the LSRs, or by signaling, for
example as defined in [1].
The control word is defined 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
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Rsvd | Flags | Length | Sequence Number |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
In the above diagram the first 4 bits are reserved for future use.
They MUST be set to 0 when transmitting, and MUST be ignored upon
receipt.
The next 4 bits provide space for carrying protocol specific flags.
These are defined in the protocol-specific details below.
The next 8 bits provide a length field, which is used as follows: If
the packet's length (defined as the length of the layer 2 payload
plus the length of the control word) is less than 256 bytes, the
length field MUST be set to the packet's length. Otherwise the length
field MUST be set to zero. The value of the length field, if non-
zero, can be used to remove any padding. When the packet reaches the
service provider's egress LSR, it may be desirable to remove the
padding before forwarding the packet.
The next 16 bits provide a sequence number that can be used to
guarantee ordered packet delivery. The processing of the sequence
number field is OPTIONAL.
The sequence number space is a 16 bit, unsigned circular space. The
sequence number value 0 is used to indicate an unsequenced packet.
3.1.1. Setting the sequence number
Given a VC label V and a pair of LSRs R1 and R2, where R2 has
distributed V to R1. If R1 supports packet sequencing then the
following procedures should be used:
- the initial packet transmitted to label V MUST use sequence
number 1
- subsequent packets MUST increment the sequence number by one for
each packet
Martini, et al. [Page 4]
Internet Draft draft-martini-l2circuit-encap-mpls-01.txt February 2001
- when the transmit sequence number reaches the maximum 16 bit
value (65535) the sequence number MUST wrap to 1
If the transmitting LSR R1 does not support sequence number
processing, then the sequence number field in the control word MUST
be set to 0.
3.1.2. Processing the sequence number
If an LSR R2 supports receive sequence number processing, then the
following procedures should be used:
When a VC label V is first distributed, the "expected sequence
number" associated with V MUST be initialized to 1
When a packet is received with label V the sequence number should be
processed as follows:
- if the sequence number on the packet is 0, then the packet passes
the sequence number check
- Otherwise if the packet sequence number >= the expected sequence
number (using an unsigned comparison, modulo 2**16), then the
packet is in order.
- otherwise the packet is out of order.
If a packet passes the sequence number check, or is in order then, it
can be delivered immediately. If the packet is in order, then the
expected sequence number should be set using the algorithm:
expected_sequence_number := packet_sequence_number + 1 mod 2**16
if (expected_sequence_number = 0) then expected_sequence_number := 1;
Packets which are received out of order MAY be dropped or reordered
at the discretion of the receiver.
If an LSR R2 does not support receive sequence number processing,
then the sequence number field MAY be ignored.
3.2. MTU Requirements
The MPLS network MUST be configured with an MTU that is sufficient to
transport the largest frame size that will be transported in the
LSPs. Note that this is likely to be 12 or more bytes greater than
the largest frame size. If a packet length, once it has been
encapsulated on the ingress LSR, exceeds the LSP MTU, it MUST be
dropped. If an egress LSR receives a packet on a VC LSP with a
length, once the label stack and control word have been popped, that
Martini, et al. [Page 5]
Internet Draft draft-martini-l2circuit-encap-mpls-01.txt February 2001
exceeds the MTU of the destination layer 2 interface, it MUST be
dropped.
3.3. MPLS Shim EXP Bit Values
The ingress LSR, R1, SHOULD set the EXP field of the VC label to the
same value as the EXP field of the previous label in the stack (if in
fact a stack of more than one label is imposed at the ingress.) This
will ensure that the EXP field will be visible to the egress LSR, R2,
in the event of the packet having been penultimate hop popped.
3.4. MPLS Shim TTL Values
The ingress LSP, R1, MAY set the TTL field of the VC label to a value
of 2.
4. Protocol-Specific Details
4.1. Frame Relay
A Frame Relay PDU is transported without the Frame Relay header or
the FCS. The sequencing control word is REQUIRED.
The BECN, FECN, DE and C/R bits are carried across the network in the
control word. The edge LSRs that implement this document MAY, when
either adding or removing the encapsulation described herein, change
the BECN and/or FECN bits from zero to one in order to reflect
congestion in the MPLS network that is known to the edge LSRs, and
the D/E bit from zero to one to reflect marking from edge policing of
the Frame Relay Committed Information Rate. The BECN, FECN, and D/E
bits MUST NOT be changed from one to zero.
The following is an example of a Frame Relay packet:
Martini, et al. [Page 6]

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
* B ( BECN ) Bit
The ingress LSR, R1, MUST copy the BECN field from the incoming
Frame Relay header into this field. The egress LSR, R2, MUST
generate a new BECN field based on the value of the B bit.
* F ( FECN ) Bit
The ingress LSR, R1, MUST copy the FECN field from the incoming
Frame Relay header into this field. The egress LSR, R2, MUST
generate a new FECN field based on the value of the F bit.
* D ( DE ) Bit
The ingress LSR, R1, MUST copy the DE field from the incoming
Frame Relay header into this field. The egress LSR, R2, MUST
generate a new DE field based on the value of the D bit.
The ingress LSR, R1, MAY consider the DE bit of the Frame Relay
header when determining the value to be placed in the EXP field
of the MPLS label stack. In a similar way, the egress LSR, R2,
MAY consider the EXP field of the VC label when queuing the
packet for egress. Note however that frames from the same VC MUST
NOT be reordered by the MPLS network.
* C ( C/R ) Bit
The ingress LSR, R1, MUST copy the C/R bit from the received
Frame Relay PDU to the C bit of the control word. The egress
LSR, R2, MUST copy the C bit into the output frame.
The Label, EXP, S, and TTL fields are described in [2].
Martini, et al. [Page 7]
Internet Draft draft-martini-l2circuit-encap-mpls-01.txt February 2001
4.2. ATM
Two encapsulations are supported for ATM transport: one for ATM AAL5
and another for ATM cells.
The AAL5 CPCS-PDU encapsulation consists of the MPLS label stack, a
REQUIRED control word, and the AAL5 CPCS-PDU.
The ATM cell encapsulation consists of an MPLS label stack, an
OPTIONAL sequencing control word, a 4 byte ATM cell header, and the
ATM cell payload.
4.2.1. ATM AAL5 CPCS-PDU Mode
In ATM AAL5 mode the ingress LSR is required to reassemble AAL5
CPCS-PDUs from the incoming VC and transport each CPCS-PDU as a
single packet. No AAL5 trailer is transported. The sequencing control
word is REQUIRED.
The EFCI and CLP bits are carried across the network in the control
word. The edge LSRs that implement this document MAY, when either
adding or removing the encapsulation described herein, change the
EFCI bit from zero to one in order to reflect congestion in the MPLS
network that is known to the edge LSRs, and the CLP bit from zero to
one to reflect marking from edge policing of the ATM Sustained Cell
Rate. The EFCI and CLP bits MUST NOT be changed from one to zero.
The AAL5 CPCS-PDU is prepended by the following header:
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

| ATM AAL5 CPCS-PDU |
| " |

| " |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
* T (transport type) bit
Bit (T) of the control word indicates whether the MPLS packet
contains an ATM cell or an AAL5 CPCS-PDU. If set the packet
contains an ATM cell, encapsulated according to the ATM cell mode
Martini, et al. [Page 8]
Internet Draft draft-martini-l2circuit-encap-mpls-01.txt February 2001
section below, otherwise it contains an AAL5 CPCS-PDU. The
ability to transportan ATM cell in the AAL5 mode is intended to
provide a means of enabling OAM functionality over the AAL5 VC.
* E ( EFCI ) Bit
The ingress LSR, R1, SHOULD set this bit to 1 if the EFCI bit of
the final cell of those that transported the AAL5 CPCS-PDU is set
to 1, or if the EFCI bit of the single ATM cell to be transported
in the MPLS packet is set to 1. Otherwise this bit SHOULD be set
to 0. The egress LSR, R2, SHOULD set the EFCI bit of all cells
that transport the AAL5 CPCS-PDU to the value contained in this
field.
* L ( CLP ) Bit
The ingress LSR, R1, SHOULD set this bit to 1 if the CLP bit of
any of the ATM cells that transported the AAL5 CPCS-PDU is set to
1, or if the CLP bit of the single ATM cell to be transported in
the MPLS packet is set to 1. Otherwise this bit SHOULD be set to
0. The egress LSR, R2, SHOULD set the CLP bit of all cells that
transport the AAL5 CPCS-PDU to the value contained in this field.
The ingress LSR, R1, MAY consider the CLP bit of the ATM cell
header when determining the value to be placed in the EXP fields
of the MPLS label stack. In a similar way, the egress LSR, R2,
MAY consider the EXP field of the VC label when queuing the
packet for egress. Note however that frames from the same VC MUST
NOT be reordered by the MPLS network.
* C ( Command / Response Field ) Bit
When FRF.8.1 Frame Relay / ATM PVC Service Interworking [3]
traffic is being transported, the CPCS-UU Least Significant Bit
(LSB) of the AAL5 CPCS-PDU may contain the Frame Relay C/R bit.
The ingress LSR, R1, SHOULD copy this bit to the C bit of the
control word. The egress LSR, R2, SHOULD copy the C bit to the
CPCS-UU Least Significant Bit (LSB) of the AAL5 CPCS PDU.
The Label, EXP, S, and TTL fields are described in [2].
Martini, et al. [Page 9]
Internet Draft draft-martini-l2circuit-encap-mpls-01.txt February 2001
4.2.2. ATM Cell Mode
In this encapsulation mode ATM cells are transported individually
without a SAR process. Each ATM cell payload is prepended by a 4 byte
header and concatenated to form the MPLS frame. This ATM cell header
is defined as in the FAST encapsulation [4] section 3.1.1, but
without the trailer byte. The length of each frame, without the MPLS
header and the control word, is a multiple of 52 bytes long. The
maximum number of ATM cells that can be fitted in an MPLS frame, in
this fashion, is limited only by the MPLS network MTU and by the
ability of the egress LSR to process them. The ingress LSR MUST NOT
send more cells than the egress LSR is willing to receive. The number
of cells that the egress LSR is willing to receive may either be
configured in the ingress LSR or may be signaled, for example using
the methods described in [1]. The number of cells encapsulated in a
particular frame can be inferred by the frame length. The sequencing
control word is OPTIONAL. If the control word is used then the flag
bits in the control word are not used, and MUST be set to 0 when
transmitting, and MUST be ignored upon receipt.
The EFCI and CLP bits are carried across the network in the ATM cell
header. The edge LSRs that implement this document MAY, when either
adding or removing the encapsulation described herein, change the
EFCI bit from zero to one in order to reflect congestion in the MPLS
network that is known to the edge LSRs, and the CLP bit from zero to
one to reflect marking from edge policing of the ATM Sustained Cell
Rate. The EFCI and CLP bits MUST NOT be changed from one to zero.
This diagram illustrates an encapsulation of two ATM cells:

* VPI
The ingress router MUST copy the VPI field from the incoming cell
into this field. The egress router MAY generate a new VPI based
on the value of the VC label and ignore the VPI contained in this
field.
* VCI
The ingress router MUST copy the VCI field from the incoming ATM
cell header into this field. The egress router MAY generate a
new VCI based on the value of the VC label.
* PTI & CLP ( C bit )
The PTI and CLP fields are the PTI and CLP fields of the incoming
ATM cells. The cell headers of the cells within the packet are
the ATM headers (without HEC) of the incoming cell.
Martini, et al. [Page 11]
Internet Draft draft-martini-l2circuit-encap-mpls-01.txt February 2001
4.2.3. OAM Cell Support
OAM cells MAY be transported on the VC LSP. A router that does not
support transport of OAM cells MUST discard incoming MPLS frames on
an ATM VC LSP that contain an ATM cell with the high-order bit of the
PTI field set to 1. A router that supports transport of OAM cells
MUST follow the procedures outlined in [4] section 8 for mode 0 only,
in addition to the applicable procedures specified in [1].
4.2.4. CLP bit to MPLS label stack EXP bit mapping
The ingress LSR MAY consider the CLP bit when determining the value
to be placed in the EXP fields of the MPLS label stack. This will
give the MPLS network visibility of the CLP bit. Note however that
cells from the same VC MUST NOT be reordered by the MPLS network.
4.3. Ethernet VLAN
For an Ethernet 802.1q VLAN the entire Ethernet frame without the
preamble or FCS is transported as a single packet. The sequencing
control word is OPTIONAL. If the control word is used then the flag
bits in the control word are not used, and MUST be set to 0 when
transmitting, and MUST be ignored upon receipt. The 4 byte VLAN tag
is transported as is, and MAY be overwritten by the egress LSR.
The ingress LSR MAY consider the user priority field [5] of the VLAN
tag header when determining the value to be placed in the EXP fields
of the MPLS label stack. In a similar way, the egress LSR MAY
consider the EXP field of the VC label when queuing the packet for
egress. Ethernet packets containing hardware level CRC errors,
framing errors, or runt packets MUST be discarded on input.
4.4. Ethernet
For simple Ethernet port to port transport, the entire Ethernet frame
without the preamble or FCS is transported as a single packet. The
sequencing control word is OPTIONAL. If the control word is used then
the flag bits in the control word are not used, and MUST be set to 0
when transmitting, and MUST be ignored upon receipt. As in the
Ethernet VLAN case, Ethernet packets with hardware level CRC errors,
framing errors, and runt packets MUST be discarded on input.
Martini, et al. [Page 12]
Internet Draft draft-martini-l2circuit-encap-mpls-01.txt February 2001
4.5. HDLC ( Cisco )
HDLC (Cisco) mode provides port to port transport of Cisco HDLC
encapsulated traffic. The HDLC PDU is transported in its entirety,
including the HDLC address, control and protocol fields, but
excluding HDLC flags and the FCS. Bit stuffing is undone. The
sequencing control word is OPTIONAL.
4.6. PPP
PPP mode provides point to point transport of PPP encapsulated
traffic, as specified in [6]. The PPP PDU is transported in its
entirety, including the protocol field, but excluding any media-
specific framing information, such as HDLC address and control fields
or FCS. The sequencing control word is OPTIONAL.
5. Security Considerations
This document does not affect the underlying security issues of MPLS.
6. Intellectual Property Disclaimer
This document is being submitted for use in IETF standards
discussions.
