Internet-Draft OSPFv3 Extensions for Segment Routing October 2013
1. Introduction
Segment Routing (SR) allows for a flexible definition of end-to-end
paths within IGP topologies by encoding paths as sequences of
topological sub-paths, called "segments". These segments are
advertised by the link-state routing protocols (IS-IS and OSPF).
Prefix segments represent an ecmp-aware shortest-path to a prefix (or
a node), as per the state of the IGP topology. Adjacency segments
represent a hop over a specific adjacency between two nodes in the
IGP. A prefix segment is typically a multi-hop path while an
adjacency segment, in most of the cases, is a one-hop path. SR's
control-plane can be applied to both IPv6 and MPLS data-planes, and
do not require any additional signaling (other than the regular IGP).
For example, when used in MPLS networks, SR paths do not require any
LDP or RSVP-TE signaling. Still, SR can interoperate in the presence
of LSPs established with RSVP or LDP .
This draft describes the necessary OSPFv3 extensions that need to be
introduced for Segment Routing.
Segment Routing architecture is described in
[I-D.filsfils-rtgwg-segment-routing].
Segment Routing use cases are described in
[I-D.filsfils-rtgwg-segment-routing-use-cases].
2. Segment Routing Identifiers
Segment Routing defines various types of Segment Identifiers (SIDs):
Prefix-SID, Adjacency-SID, LAN Adjacency SID and Binding SID.
2.1. SID/Label sub-TLV
SID/Label sub-TLV appears in multiple TLVs or Sub-TLVs defined later
in this document. It is used to advertise SID or label associated
with the prefix or adjacency. SID/Label TLV has following format:
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
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Type | Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| SID/Label (variable) |

where:
Psenak, et al. Expires April 21, 2014 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft OSPFv3 Extensions for Segment Routing October 2013
Type: 1
Length: variable, 3 or 4 bytes
SID/Label: if length is set to 3, then the 20 rightmost bits
represent a label. If length is set to 4 then the value
represents a 32 bit SID.
3. Segment Routing Capabilities
Segment Routing requires some additional capabilities of the router
to be advertised to other routers in the area.
These SR capabilities are advertised in OSPFv3 Router Information
Opaque LSA (defined in [RFC4970]).
3.1. SR-Algorithm TLV
SR-Algorithm TLV is a TLV of Router Information Opaque LSA (defined
in [RFC4970]).
Router may use various algorithms when calculating reachability to
other nodes in area or to prefixes attached to these nodes. Examples
of these algorithms are metric based Shortest Path First (SPF),
various sorts of Constrained SPF, etc. SR-Algorithm TLV allows a
router to advertise algorithms that router is currently using to
other routers in an area. SR-Algorithm TLV has following structure:
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

Internet-Draft OSPFv3 Extensions for Segment Routing October 2013
Type: 8
Length: variable
Algorithm: one octet identifying the algorithm. The following
value has been defined:
0: IGP metric based SPT.
RI LSA can be advertised at any of the defined flooding scopes (link,
area, or autonomous system (AS)). For the purpose of the SR-
Algorithm TLV propagation area scope flooding is required.
3.2. SID/Label Range TLV
The SID/Label Range TLV is a TLV of Router Information Opaque LSA
(defined in [RFC4970]).
SID/Label Sub-TLV MAY appear multiple times and has following format:
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

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Sub-TLVs (variable) |
+- -+
| |
+ +
where:
Type: 9
Length: variable
Range Size: size of the SID/label range
Currently the only supported Sub-TLV is the SID/Label TLV as defined
in Section 2.1. SID/Label advertised in SID/Label TLV represents the
first SID/Label from the advertised range.
RI LSA can be advertised at any of the defined flooding scopes (link,
area, or autonomous system (AS)). For the purpose of the SR-
Capability TLV propagation area scope flooding is required.

4. Prefix SID Identifier
A new extended OSPFv3 LSAs as defined in [I-D.acee-ospfv3-lsa-extend]
are used to advertise prefix SID in OSPFv3.
4.1. Prefix SID Sub-TLV
The Prefix SID Sub-TLV is a Sub-TLV of the following OSPFv3 TLVs as
defined in [I-D.acee-ospfv3-lsa-extend]:
Inter-Area Prefix TLV
External Prefix TLV
Intra-Area-Prefix TLV
It MAY appear more than once and has following format:
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

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Index |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
where:
Type: 2.
Length: A 16-bit field that indicates the length of the value
portion in octets. Set to 8.
Flags: 1 octet field. The following flags are defined:
0
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
where:
Psenak, et al. Expires April 21, 2014 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft OSPFv3 Extensions for Segment Routing October 2013
N-Flag: Node-SID flag. If set, then the Prefix-SID refers to
the router identified by the prefix. Typically, the N-Flag is
set on Prefix-SIDs attached to a router loopback address. The
N-Flag is set when the Prefix-SID is a Node- SID as described
in [I-D.filsfils-rtgwg-segment-routing].
P-Flag: no-PHP flag. If set, then the penultimate hop MUST NOT
pop the Prefix-SID before delivering the packet to the node
that advertised the Prefix-SID.
M-Flag: Mapping Server Flag. If set, the SID is advertised
from the Segment Routing Mapping Server functionality as
described in [I-D.filsfils-rtgwg-segment-routing-use-cases].
Other bits: MUST be zero when sent and ignored when received.
Algorithm: one octet identifying the algorithm the Prefix-SID is
associated with as defined in Section 3.1.
Range Size: this field provides the ability to specify a range of
addresses and their associated Prefix SIDs. It represents a
compression scheme to distribute a continuous Prefix and their
continuous, corresponding SID/Label Block. If a single SID is
advertised then the Range Size field MUST be set to 1. For range
advertisements > 1, Range Size represents the the number of
addresses that need to be mapped into a Prefix-SID.
Index: 32 bits representing the offset to the advertised SID/Label
range.
If multiple Prefix-SIDs are advertised for the same prefix, the
receiving router MUST use the first encoded SID and MAY use the
subsequent ones.
P-Flag (no-PHP) MUST be set on the Prefix-SIDs allocated to inter-
area prefixes that are originated by the ABR based on intra-area or
inter-area reachability between areas. In case the inter-area prefix
is generated based on the prefix which is directly attached to the
ABR, P-Flag SHOULD NOT be set
P-Flag (no-PHP) MUST NOT be set on the Prefix-SIDs allocated to
redistributed prefixes, unless the redistributed prefix is directly
attached to ASBR, in which case the P-Flag SHOULD NOT be set.
When M-Flag is set, PHP MUST NOT be done.
Example 1: if the following router addresses (loopback addresses)
need to be mapped into the corresponding Prefix SID indexes:
Psenak, et al. Expires April 21, 2014 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft OSPFv3 Extensions for Segment Routing October 2013
Router-A: 192::1/128, Prefix-SID: Index 1
Router-B: 192::2/128, Prefix-SID: Index 2
Router-C: 192::3/128, Prefix-SID: Index 3
Router-D: 192::4/128, Prefix-SID: Index 4
then the Address Prefix field in Intra-Area Prefix TLV, Inter-Area
Prefix TLV or External Prefix TLV is set to 192::1, Prefix Length in
these TLVs would be set to 128, Range Size in Prefix SID sub-TLV
would be set to 4 and Index value would be set to 1.
Example 2: If the following prefixes need to be mapped into the
corresponding Prefix-SID indexes:
10:1:1::0/120, Prefix-SID: Index 51
10:1:1::100/120, Prefix-SID: Index 52
10:1:1::200/120, Prefix-SID: Index 53
10:1:1::300/120, Prefix-SID: Index 54
10:1:1::400/120, Prefix-SID: Index 55
10:1:1::500/120, Prefix-SID: Index 56
10:1:1::600/120, Prefix-SID: Index 57
then the Address Prefix field in Intra-Area Prefix TLV, Inter-Area
Prefix TLV or External Prefix TLV is set to 10:1:1::0, Prefix Length
in these TLVs would be set to 120, Range Size in Prefix SID sub-TLV
would be set to 7 and Index value would be set to 51.
4.2. SID/Label Binding sub-TLV
SID/Label Binding sub-TLV is used to advertise SID/Label mapping for
a prefix or a path to the prefix. SID/Label value advertised in this
sub-TLV has local significance (to the router).
SID/Label Binding sub-TLV is a sub-TLV of the following OSPFv3 TLVs,
as defined in [I-D.acee-ospfv3-lsa-extend]:
Inter-Area Prefix TLV
External Prefix TLV
Intra-Area-Prefix TLV
Multiple SID/Label Binding sub-TLVs can be present in above mentioned
TLVs. SID/Label Binding sub-TLV has following format:

where:
M-bit - When the bit is set the binding represents the
mirroring context as defined in
[I-D.minto-rsvp-lsp-egress-fast-protection].
Weight: weight used for load-balancing purposes. The use of the
weight is defined in [I-D.filsfils-rtgwg-segment-routing].
Range Size: usage is the same as described in Section 4.1
SID/Label Binding sub-TLV currently supports following Sub-TLVs:
SID/Label sub-TLV as described in Section 2.1. This sub-TLV MUST
appear in the SID/Label Binding Sub-TLV and it MUST only appear
once.
ERO Metric sub-TLV as defined in Section 4.2.1.
ERO sub-TLVs as defined in Section 4.2.2.

4.2.1. ERO Metric sub-TLV
ERO Metric sub-TLV is a Sub-TLV of the SID/Label Binding TLV.
The ERO Metric sub-TLV carries the cost of an ERO path. It is used
to compare the cost of a given source/destination path. A router
SHOULD advertise the ERO Metric sub-TLV. The cost of the ERO Metric
sub-TLV SHOULD be set to the cumulative IGP or TE path cost of the
advertised ERO. Since manipulation of the Metric field may attract
or distract traffic from and to the advertised segment it MAY be
manually overridden.

4.2.2. ERO sub-TLVs
All 'ERO' information represents an ordered set which describes the
segments of a path. The last ERO sub-TLV describes the segment
closest to the egress point, contrary the first ERO sub-TLV describes
the first segment of a path. If a router extends or stitches a path
it MUST prepend the new segments path information to the ERO list.
The above similarly applies to backup EROs.
All ERO Sub-TLVs must immediately follow the (SID)/Label Sub-TLV.
All Backup ERO sub-TLVs must immediately follow last ERO Sub-TLV.

4.2.2.6. Unnumbered Interface ID Backup ERO sub-TLV
Unnumbered Interface ID Backup sub-TLV is a sub-TLV of the SID/Label
Binding sub-TLV.
The appearance and semantics of the 'Unnumbered Interface ID' have
been borrowed from [RFC3477].
The Unnumbered Interface-ID ERO sub-TLV describes a path segment that
spans over an unnumbered interface. Unnumbered interfaces are

referenced using the interface index. Interface indices are assigned
local to the router and therefore not unique within a domain. All
elements in an ERO path need to be unique within a domain and hence
need to be disambiguated using a domain unique Router-ID.

5. Adjacency Segment Identifier (Adj-SID)
An Adjacency Segment Identifier (Adj-SID) represents a router
adjacency in Segment Routing. At the current stage of Segment
Routing architecture it is assumed that the Adj-SID value has local

6. Elements of Procedure
6.1. Intra-area Segment routing in OSPFv3
The OSPFv3 node that supports segment routing MAY advertise Prefix-
SIDs for any prefix that it is advertising reachability for (e.g.
loopback IP address) as described in Section 4.1.
If multiple routers advertise Prefix-SID for the same prefix, then
the Prefix-SID MUST be the same. This is required in order to allow
traffic load-balancing if multiple equal cost paths to the
destination exist in the network.
Prefix-SID can also be advertised by the SR Mapping Servers (as
described in [I-D.filsfils-rtgwg-segment-routing-use-cases]). The
Mapping Server advertises Prefix-SID for remote prefixes that exist
in the network. Multiple Mapping Servers can advertise Prefix-SID
for the same prefix, in which case the same Prefix-SID MUST be
advertised by all of them. SR Mapping Server could use either area
scope or autonomous system flooding scope when advertising Prefix SID
for prefixes, based on the configuration of the SR Mapping Server.
Depending on the flooding scope used, SR Mapping Server chooses the
LSA that will be used. If the area flooding scope is needed,
E-Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA ([I-D.acee-ospfv3-lsa-extend]) is used. If
autonomous system flooding scope is needed, E-AS-External-LSA
([I-D.acee-ospfv3-lsa-extend]) is used.
When Prefix-SID is advertised by the Mapping Server, which is
indicated by the M-flag in the Prefix-SID sub-TLV (Section 4.1),
route-type as indicated by the LSA type which is being used for
Psenak, et al. Expires April 21, 2014 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft OSPFv3 Extensions for Segment Routing October 2013
flooding is ignored. Prefix SID is bound to a prefix, in which case
route-type becomes unimportant.
Advertisement of the Prefix-SID by the Mapping Server using Inter-
Area Prefix TLV, External Prefix TLV or Intra-Area-Prefix TLV
([I-D.acee-ospfv3-lsa-extend]) does not itself contribute to the
prefix reachability. NU-bit MUST be set in the PrefixOptions field
of the LSA which is used by the Mapping Server to advertise SID or
SID range, which prevents such advertisement to contribute to the
prefix reachability.
6.2. Inter-area Segment routing in OSPFv3
In order to support SR in a multi-area environment, OSPFv3 must
propagate Prefix-SID information between areas. The following
procedure is used in order to propagate Prefix SIDs between areas.
When an OSPFv3 ABR advertises a Inter-Area-Prefix-LSA from an intra-
area prefix to all its connected areas, it will also include Prefix-
SID sub-TLV, as described in Section 4.1. The Prefix-SID value will
be set as follows:
The ABR will look at its best path to the prefix in the source
area and find out the advertising router associated with its best
path to that prefix.
If no Prefix-SID was advertised for the prefix in the source area
by the router that contributes to the best path to the prefix,
then the ABR will use the Prefix-SID advertised by any other
router (e.g.: a Prefix-SID coming from an SR Mapping Server as
defined in [I-D.filsfils-rtgwg-segment-routing-use-cases]) when
propagating Prefix-SID for the prefix to other areas.
When an OSPFv3 ABR advertises Inter-Area-Prefix-LSA LSAs from an
inter-area route to all its connected areas it will also include
Prefix-SID sub-TLV, as described in Section 4.1. The Prefix-SID
value will be set as follows:
The ABR will look at its best path to the prefix in the source
area and find out the advertising router associated with its best
path to that prefix.
The ABR will then look if such router advertised a Prefix-SID for
the prefix and use it when advertising the Prefix-SID to other
connected areas.
Psenak, et al. Expires April 21, 2014 [Page 20]
Internet-Draft OSPFv3 Extensions for Segment Routing October 2013
If no Prefix-SID was advertised for the prefix in the source area
by the ABR that contributes to the best path to the prefix, the
originating ABR will use the Prefix-SID advertised by any other
router (e.g.: a Prefix-SID coming from an SR Mapping Server as
defined in [I-D.filsfils-rtgwg-segment-routing-use-cases]) when
propagating Prefix-SID for the prefix to other areas.
6.3. SID for External Prefixes
AS-External-LSAs are flooded domain wide. When an ASBR, which
supports SR, generates AS-External-LSA, it should also include
Prefix-SID sub-TLV, as described in Section 4.1 Prefix-SID value will
be set to the SID that has been reserved for that prefix.
When a NSSA ASBR translates NSSA-LSA into AS-External-LSA, it should
also advertise the Prefix-SID for the prefix. The NSSA ABR
determines its best path to the prefix advertised in the translated
NSSA-LSA and finds the advertising router associated with such path.
If such advertising router has advertised a Prefix-SID for the
prefix, then the NSSA ASBR uses it when advertising the Prefix-SID in
AS-External-LSA. Otherwise the Prefix-SID advertised by any other
router will be used (e.g.: a Prefix-SID coming from an SR Mapping
Server as defined in [I-D.filsfils-rtgwg-segment-routing-use-cases]).
6.4. Advertisement of Adj-SID
The Adjacency Segment Routing Identifier (Adj-SID) is advertised
using the Adj-SID Sub-TLV as described in Section 5.
6.4.1. Advertisement of Adj-SID on Point-to-Point Links
Adj-SID MAY be advertised for any adjacency on p2p link that is in a
state 2-Way or higher. If the adjacency on a p2p link transitions
from the FULL state, then the Adj-SID for that adjacency MAY be
removed from the area. If the adjacency transitions to a state lower
then 2-Way, then the Adj-SID MUST be removed from the area.
6.4.2. Adjacency SID on Broadcast or NBMA Interfaces
Broadcast or NBMA networks in OSPFv3 are represented by a star
topology where the Designated Router (DR) is the central point all
other routers on the broadcast or NBMA network connect to. As a
result, routers on the broadcast or NBMA network advertise only their
adjacency to DR and BDR. Routers that are neither DR nor BDR do not
form and do not advertise adjacencies between them. They, however,
maintain a 2-Way adjacency state between them.
When Segment Routing is used, each router on the broadcast or NBMA
Psenak, et al. Expires April 21, 2014 [Page 21]
Internet-Draft OSPFv3 Extensions for Segment Routing October 2013
network MAY advertise the Adj-SID for its adjacency to DR using Adj-
SID Sub-TLV as described in Section 5.1.
SR capable router MAY also advertise Adj-SID for other neighbors
(e.g. BDR, DR-OTHER) on broadcast or NBMA network using the LAN ADJ-
SID Sub-TLV as described in section 5.1.1.2. Section 5.2.
7. IANA Considerations
This specification updates OSPFv3 Extend-LSA sub-TLV registry and
allocates following sub-TLVs:
o 1 - SID/Label sub-TLV
o 2 - Prefix SID sub-TLV
o 3 - SID/Label Binding sub-TLV
o 4 - IPv4 ERO sub-TLV
o 5 - IPv6 ERO sub-TLV
o 6 - Unnumbered Interface ID ERO sub-TLV
o 7 - IPv4 Backup ERO sub-TLV
o 8 - IPv6 Backup ERO sub-TLV
o 9 - Unnumbered Interface ID Backup ERO sub-TLV
o 10 - Adj-SID sub-TLV
o 11 - LAN Adj-SID sub-TLV
o 12 - ERO Metric sub-TLV
8. Security Considerations
Implementations must assure that malformed permutations of the newly
defined sub-TLvs do not result in errors which cause hard OSPFv3
failures.
