Protocol for Forwarding Policy Configuration (FPC) in DMM
draft-ietf-dmm-fpc-cpdp-09

Abstract

This document describes a way, called Forwarding Policy Configuration (FPC) to manage the separation of data-plane and control-plane. FPC defines a flexible mobility management system using FPC agent and FPC client functions. An FPC agent provides an abstract interface to the data-plane. The FPC client configures data-plane nodes by using the functions and abstractions provided by the FPC agent for that data-plane nodes. The data-plane abstractions presented in this document is extensible, in order to support many different types of mobility management systems and data-plane functions.

1. Introduction

This document describes Forwarding Policy Configuration (FPC), a system for managing the separation of data-plane and control-plane. FPC enables flexible mobility management using FPC agent and FPC client functions. An FPC agent exports an abstract interface to the data-plane. To configure data-plane nodes and functions, the FPC client uses the interface to the data-plane offered by the FPC agent.

Control planes of mobility management systems, or other applications which require data-plane control, can utilize the FPC client at various granularities of operation. The operations are capable of configuring a single Data-Plane Node (DPN) directly, as well as multiple DPNs as determined by abstracted data-plane models on the FPC agent.

A FPC agent provides data-plane abstraction in the following three areas:

Topology:
DPNs are grouped and abstracted according to well-known concepts of mobility management such as access networks, anchors and domains. A FPC agent provides an interface to the abstract DPN-groups that enables definition of a topology for the forwarding plane. For example, access nodes may be assigned to a DPN-group which peers to a DPN-group of anchor nodes.
Policy:
A Policy embodies the mechanisms for processing specific traffic flows or packets. This is needed for QoS, for packet processing to rewrite headers, etc. A Policy consists of one or more rules. Each rule is composed of Descriptors and Actions. Descriptors in a rule identify traffic flows, and Actions apply treatments to packets that match the Descriptors in the rule. An arbitrary set of policies can applied to a particular collection of flows throgh the use of a Configurable-Policy.
Mobility:
A mobility session which is active on a mobile node is abstracted as a Mobility-Context with associated runtime concrete attributes, such as tunnel endpoints, tunnel identifiers, delegated prefix(es), routing information, etc. Mobility-Contexts are attached to DPNs via DPN-References. The References assign pre-defined Policies that were requested to be enforced as part of the mobility signaling request. Policy may also be realized by Embedded-Rules in the DPN-Reference. Such policies are typically highly specialized (e.g. negotiated as a part of signaling), were not pre-provisioned or designed as a template. Hence, they are not reusable across Mobility-Contexts.
Monitors provide a mechanism to produce reports when events regarding Configurable Policies, Mobility Contexts, DPNs or the Agent occur.

The Agent assembles applicable sets of forwarding policies for the mobility sessions from the data model, and then renders those policies into specific configurations for each DPN to which the sessions attached. The specific protocols and configurations to configure DPN from a FPC Agent are outside the scope of this document.

The data-plane abstractions may be extended to support many different mobility management systems and data-plane functions. The architecture and protocol design of FPC is not tied to specific types of access technologies and mobility protocols.

2. Terminology

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 [RFC2119].

DPN:
A data-plane node (DPN) is capable of deploying data-plane features. DPNs may be switches or routers regardless of their realiziation, i.e. whether they are hardware or software based.
FPC Agent:
A functional entity in FPC that manages DPNs and provides abstracted data-plane networks to mobility management systems and/or applications through FPC Clients.
FPC Client:
A functional entity in FPC that is integrated with mobility management systems and/or applications to control forwarding policy, mobility sessions and DPNs.
Tenant:
An operational entity that manages mobility management systems or applications which require data-plane functions.
Domain:
One or more DPNs that form a data-plane network. A mobility management system or an application in a tenant may utilize a single or multiple domains.
Configurable Policy:
A set of Rules (forwarding policies) installed upon a DPN.
Mobility Context:
An abstracted endpoint of a mobility session associated with runtime attributes.

3. FPC Design Objectives and Deployment

To fulfill the requirements described in [RFC7333], FPC enables mobility control-planes and applications to configure DPNs with various roles of the mobility management as described in [I-D.ietf-dmm-deployment-models].

FPC defines building blocks of FPC Agent and FPC Client, as well as data models for the necessary data-plane abstractions. The attributes defining those data models serve as protocol elements for the interface between the FPC Agent and the FPC Client.

Mobility control-planes and applications integrate the FPC Client function. The FPC Client connects to FPC Agent functions. The Client and the Agent communicate based on information models for the data-plane abstractions described in Section 4. The data models allow the control-plane and the applications to support forwarding policies on the Agent for their mobility sessions.

The FPC Agent carries out the required configuration and management of the DPN(s). The Agent determines DPN configurations according to the forwarding policies requested by the FPC Client. The DPN configurations could be specific to each DPN implementation such that how FPC Agent determines implementation specific configuration for a DPN is outside of the scope of this document. Along with the models, the control-plane and the applications put Policies to the Agent prior to creating their mobility sessions.

Once the Topology of DPN(s) and domains are defined for a data plane on an Agent, the data-plane nodes (DPNs) are available for further configuration. The FPC Agent connects those DPNs to manage their configurations.

This architecture is illustrated in Figure 1. An FPC Agent may be implemented in a network controller that handles multiple DPNs, or there is a simple case where another FPC Agent may itself be integrated into a DPN.

This document does not adopt a specific protocol for the FPC interface protocol and it is out of scope. However it must be capable of supporting FPC protocol messages and transactions described in Section 5.

Figure 1: Reference Forwarding Policy Configuration (FPC) Architecture

The FPC architecture supports multi-tenancy; an FPC enabled data-plane supports tenants of multiple mobile operator networks and/or applications. It means that the FPC Client of each tenant connects to the FPC Agent and it MUST partition namespace and data for their data-planes. DPNs on the data-plane may fulfill multiple data-plane roles which are defined per session, domain and tenant.

Note that all FPC models SHOULD be configurable. The FPC interface protocol in Figure 1 is only required to handle runtime data in the Mobility model. The rest of the FPC models, namely Topology and Policy, may be pre-configured, and in that case real-time protocol exchanges would not be required for them. Operators that are tenants in the FPC data-plane could configure Topology and Policy on the Agent through other means, such as Restconf or Netconf.

4. FPC Mobility Information Model

4.1. Model Notation and Conventions

In order to clarify the description of the information model, this draft uses the convention describe in the below.

Information model entities, e.g. DPNs, Rules, etc., are listed in a hierarchical notation where all entities with the same hierarchical level are located on the same left-justified position one after the other. When entities are composed of sub-entities, they will appear shifted to the right.

         |             
         +-[entity2]
         |         +-[entity2.1]
         |         +-[entity2.2]
              

Figure 2: Model Notation - An Example

Some entities MAY have one or more sub-types placed on the right hand side of the element definition in pointing brackets. Common types include:

List:
A collection of entities (some could be of the same kind)
Set:
A collection of entities without duplications
Name:
a human-readable string
Key:
a unique value. There are 3 types of keys:
U-Key:
a universally unique key across all tenants. U-Key spaces are typically involve the use of registries or language specific mechanisms that guarantee universal uniqueness of values.
G-Key:
a globally unique key - unique within a tenant
L-Key:
a unique key within the set of values in local namespace. For example, there exist interfaces with teh same name, e.g. "interface0", in two different DPNs within the same tenant but there can only be one "interface0" within each DPN, i.e. its local Interface-Id L-Key space.

The Settings pattern, i.e. attributes whose names contain the word 'Settings', is a genera set that holds unique properties. If multiple values of a property are present they are held in a List for the property within the settings container. The container acts as an extensible placeholder for properties (attribute/value pairs).

Each entity or its subtype may be optional (O) or mandatory (M). Entities that are not marked as optional are mandatory.

     Example: The following example shows 3 entities:
              - Entity1 is a globally unique key and has an 
                      optional, associated Name
              - Entity2 is a list
              - Entity3 is a set and is optional
         +
         | 
         +-[entity1] <G-Key> (M), <Name> (O)
         +-[entity2] <List>
         +-[entity3] <Set> (O)
         |
         +
            

Figure 3

When expanding entity1 into an information model such as YANG it would result in two values: entity1-GKey and entity1-Name.

4.2. Core Structure - Information Model Components

The substructures that comprise the information model are:

Topology:
defines the different DPNs and links between them.
Policy-Definitions:
describes how to handle flows: how to identify traffic and what actions are performed on data packets
Configurable-Policy:
policies that are relatively static. These policies are usually pre-provisioned and are modified only when the network configuration is updated or when new policy rules are configured
Mobility-Context:
policies that are created or modified during the network's operation. In most cases, on a per-flow or per session basis
Monitor:
a list of events that trigger notification messages from FPC Agents to FPC Clients
     :
     |
     +-[Mobility]
     |          +
     |          |

                |
                +-[Monitor] <Set>
    

Figure 4: Mobility Information Model - Core Structure

4.3. Topology

The Topology sub-structure specifies virtual DPNs and the relations between them. It is used by the network management entity to select the most appropriate DPN resources for handling specific session flows.

A virtual DPN is a logical entity that performs DPN functionality (packet movement and management). It may represent a physical DPN unit, a sub-function of a physical DPN or a collection of physical DPNs. The motivation to refer to virtual DPNs in the information model rather than physical DPNs is to provide flexibility for network architects to define which DPN-selection capabilities are performed by the FPC Agent (distributed) and which by the FPC client (centralized).

When a virtual DPN is mapped to a physical DPN, the FPC client has maximum knowledge of the DPN architecture and uses it to perform DPN selection for specific sessions. When a virtual DPN is mapped to a collection of physical DPNs, the FPC client cannot select a specific physical DPN because it is hidden by the abstraction and only the FPC Agent can address the specific associated physical DPNs.

The Topology sub-structure is comprised of the following sub-structures:

DPN-Set:
the set of virtual DPNs in a network configuration
DPN-Type-Set:
a set of DPN-Type entities
DPN-Group-Set:
a set of virtual DPNs that supports a specific administrative purpose (in/out bound, roaming, subnetwork with common specific configuration etc.)
Domain:
a set of Domains tha represent a logical partition of network resources

        |                 +-[Interface-Settings] <Set> (O)
    

Figure 6: DPN Substructure

Each DPN entry contains the following information:

DPN-Id (Key):
A unique Identifier of the virtual DPN
DPN-Id (Name):
the human-readable display string
DPN-Resource-Mapping-Reference (O):
A reference to the underlying implementation, e.g. physical node, virtual element, etc. that supports this DPN. This value MUST be non-empty prior to Dynamic-Policies being installed upon the DPN.
Interface-Set:
the set of interfaces (through which data packets are received and transmitted) of that Virtual DPN. The virtual DPN abstracts one or multiple physical DPNs each having one or more interfaces. The Interface-set sub-structure is a collection of all interface types available by this virtual DPN. The purpose of this information is not to describe each interface of each DPN, but rather, to indicate the entire set of interface types for the sake of the DPN selection process, when a DPN with specific interface capabilities is required. Each interface entry has a reference to a defined DPN-Type entry in the DPN-Type-Set sub-structure defined below and additional information that is specific to that interface:
Interface-Reference - a 3-tuple key that uniquely references an entry in the DPN-Type-Set sub-structure: Access-Technology, Role and Interface-Id.
Interface-Settings - An optional set of settings of this interface (that do not affect the DPN selection of active or enabled interfaces). Examples: MTU size, display name, etc.

4.3.2. DPN-Type

DPN-Type is the collection of all possible types of interfaces defined for DPNs in the network. The interfaces are grouped according to their access technology, e.g. 3GPP, WiMAX, 802.x and Role, e.g. LMA, MAG, PGW, AMF etc. Within a group, interfaces may have additional properties that are more specific, a list of features and optionally settings relevant to DPN selection. This information is used when searching for resources in a network to carry out required operations on data traffic.

      |     +-[Access-Technology] <U-Key>,<Name> (O)
      |     +-[Role] <U-Key>, <Name> (O) 
      |     +-[Interface] <Set>

      |             +-[Features] <Set> (O) 
      |             +-[Interface-Settings] <Set> (O)
      

Figure 7: DPN Type

Each DPN-Type entry contains the following information:

Access-technology:
the technology used in the access network that originated the signaling (WiMAX, 3GPP, 802.x etc.)
Role:
the role (MAG, LMA, PGW, AMF etc.) of the device sharing the interfaces specified below.
Interface:
A set of interfaces possible for the group above. Each interface carries the following information:
Interface-Id: a key that is used together with the 2-tuple Access-Technology and Role, to create a 3-tuple key that is referred to be the interface definition of virtual DPNs
Interface-Protocols: rotocols supported by this interface - PMIP, S5-GTP, S5-PMIP etc.
Features: an optional set of supported features which further determine the suitability of the interface to the desired operation
Interface-Settings: an optional set of settings that MUST be known when determining the suitability of an interface for the specific request. The difference between 'Features' and 'Settings' is that 'Features' are static while 'Settings' may be configured. Examples: SequenceNumber=ON/OFF

The entries Access-Technology and Role represent a tuple key that uniquely identifies the set of interfaces that may be available for DPNs of the specific type.

4.3.3. DPN-Group

A DPN-Group is a list of a group of DPNs serving some administrative purpose. Each group contains a list of DPNs (referenced by DPN-Id) and selected interfaces (referenced by the interface's 3-tuple key). The interfaces are listed rather than referred implicitly by each specific DPN to enable to define a subset of a DPN interfaces to be part of the group.

Each Domain entry contains the following information:

Domain (Key):
A unique Identifier of the Domain
Domain (Name):
the human-readable display string
Domain-Reference:
A link to the underlying resource / informaiton that provides further details regarding the domain.

4.4. Policy

The Policy substructure defines and identifies grouped Rules for enforcement on the data plane. Rules comprise traffic descriptors and actions on how to treat traffic in case the traffic descriptor matches a data packet. The Policy substructure is independent of a policy context, whether it's an administratively configurable policy which applies to all or a defined aggregate of data flows, or a mobility context-related policy, which is associated with a mobility session and may apply only to data traffic of an associated mobile node while being registered.

In addition to the Policy substructure, the Core Structure per Section 4.2 holds accordingly separate entries for the Configurable-Policy as well as for Mobility-Context, which do not only define their own policies by embedded rules, but comprise references to policy definitions in the Policy substructure, to which additional settings can be applies on a per-Configurable-Policy basis and on a per-Mobility-Context bases respectively.

Traffic descriptions and traffic treatment actions are defined separately in Descriptor-Definition and Action-Definition respectively. Binding between traffic descriptors and associated traffic treatment action is defined in a set of rule definition entries (Rule-Definition) which comprise references to entries in the set of traffic descriptors (Descriptor-Reference) and traffic treatment actions (Action-Reference). Accordingly, a single rule or a group of rules are bound to a policy in the set of policy definitions (Policy-Definition) by reference to entries in the set of rule definitions (Rule-Id).

Policy-Id:
Identifies a policy definition.
Rule-Reference:
Assigns a set of rule definitions, which are bound to a policy definition, by reference to the associated Rule in the Rule-Definition Substructure.
Precedence:
Defines the order with which the rules must be applied.

Figure 11: Configurable Policy

The Configurable-Policy Substructure contains the following entries:

DPN-Id-Reference:
Refers to the DPN to which the policy applies.
Installed-Policy:
A list of policies that apply to an identified DPN.
Installed-Policy-Id:

4.6. Mobility-Context

The Mobility-Context Substructure holds entries associated with a mobile node's mobility sessions. At least one instance is created at the mobile node's registration to serve as parent context. Additional instances holding child context with reference to parent context can be created. Child context holds, for example, descriptors of mobile node data traffic which needs to be treated different from traffic that matches descriptor of the parent context, e.g. in terms of QoS. Child context can inherit some attributes/values from parent context, such as traffic encapsulation and forwarding information, but can hold different or additional attributes/values that apply to traffic that matches the descriptor of the child context.

Termination a parent context implies termination of all dependent child context, e.g. at deregistration of a mobile node.

4.7. Monitors

Monitors provide a mechanism to produce reports when events occur. A Monitor will have a target that specifies what is to be watched.

When a Monitor is specified, the configuration MUST be applicable to the attribute/entity monitored. For example, a Monitor using a Threshold configuration cannot be applied to a Context, because Contexts do not have thresholds. But such a monitor could be applied to a numeric threshold property of a Context.

       |         +-[Deterrable] (O)
       |         +-[Configuration]
              

Figure 14: Monitor Substructure

Monitor-Id:
Name of the Monitor. The Id format MUST conform to Section 4.8.
Target:
Description of what is to be monitored. This can be an Event, a Dynamic Policy, an installed DPN Policy, or values of a Dynamic-Policy attribute. When the type is an attribute of Mobility-Context, the target name is a concatenation of the Context-Id and the relative path (separated by '/') to the attribute(s) to be monitored. Target must provide unambiguously identify the monitored attribute and the location (DPN).
Binding-Information:
Complements (ambigous) Target information to define the Monitor in an unambigous way.
Deterrable:
Indicates that a monitoring report can be delayed in a defined delay budget for possible bundling with other reports
Configuration:
Determined by the Monitor subtype. The recipient of a notification as monitor report is specified in the Configuration. Four reporting types are defined:

4.8. Namespace and Format

The identifiers and names in FPC models which reside in the same namespace must be unique. That uniqueness must be kept in agent or data-plane tenant namespace on an Agent. The tenant namespace uniqueness MUST be applied to all elements of the tenant model, i.e. Topology, Policy and Mobility models.

When a Policy needs to be applied to Contexts in all tenants on an Agent, the Agent SHOULD define that policy to be visible from all the tenants. In this case, the Agent assigns an unique identifier in the agent namespace and effectively creates a U-Key although only a G-Key is required.

The format of identifiers can utilize any format with agreement between data-plane agent and client operators. The formats include but are not limited to Globally Unique IDentifiers (GUIDs), Universally Unique IDentifiers (UUIDs), Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs), Fully Qualified Path Names (FQPNs) and Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs).

The FPC model does not limit the types of format that dictate the choice of FPC protocol. However the choice of identifiers which are used in Mobility model need to be considered to handle runtime parameters in real-time.

4.9. Attribute Application

When search for attributes in Settings to apply for Embeded Rules or Assigned-Policy-References the following search order is applied by the Agent / DPN for Mobilty-Contexts:

  1. DPN-Settings-Complementary of the DPN-Reference entry
  2. Context-Settings-Complementary of the Mobility-Context
  3. If Parent-Mobility-Context-Id-Reference is not empty the following are also searched:
    1. DPN-Settings-Complementary of the DPN-Reference entry for the same interface, if present.
    2. Context-Settings-Complementary of this parent Mobility-Context
    3. Optionally, if this Mobility-Context has a non-empty Parent-Mobility-Context-Id-Reference this step MAY be repeated but it is NOT reccommended as it could slow system performance.
  4. Interface-Settings of the DPN interface

Only looking at settings of the first Parent-Mobility-Context-Id-Reference is recommended for performance reasons. If further depth of search is supported the Agent MUST make this known to the Client.

For Configurable Policy the following search order is applied:

  1. Policy-Settings of the Installed-Policy
  2. Settings of the Configurable-Policy

5. Protocol

NOTE - The terms Context and Mobility-Context are used interchangeable throughout the rest of this document.

5.1. Protocol Messages and Semantics

Five message types are supported:

Client to Agent Messages
Message Type Description
CONF HEADER OP_TYPE BODY Configure processes a single operation.
CONF_BUNDLE HEADER OP_TYPE REF_SCOPE TRANS_STRATEGY 1*[OP_ID BODY] A Conf-bundle takes multiple operations that are to be executed as a group with partial failures allowed. They are executed according to the OP_ID value coupled with the BODY in ascending order. If a CONF_BUNDLE fails, any entities provisioned in the CURRENT operation are removed. However, any successful operations completed prior to the current operation are preserved in order to reduce system load.
REG_MONITOR HEADER *[ MONITOR ] Register a monitor at an Agent. The message includes information about the attribute to monitor and the reporting method. Note that a MONITOR_CONFIG is required for this operation.
DEREG_MONITOR HEADER 1*[ MONITOR_ID ] [ SEND_DATA ] Deregister monitors from an Agent. Monitor IDs are provided. SEND_DATA is an optional boolen that indicates if a successful DEREG triggers a NOTIFY with final data.
PROBE HEADER MONITOR_ID Probe the status of a registered monitor.

Each message contains a header with the Client Identifier, an execution delay timer and an operation identifier. The delay, in ms, is processed as the delay for operation execution from the time the operation is received by the Agent.

The Client Identifier is used by the Agent to associate specific configuration characteristics, e.g. options used by the Client when communicating with the Agent, as well as the association of the Client and tenant in the information model.

CONF_BUNDLE also has the Transaction Strategy (TRANS_STRATEGY) attribute. This value specifies the behavior of the Agent when an operation fails while processing a CONF_BUNDLE message. The value of 'default' uses the default strategy defined for the message. The value 'all_or_nothing' will roll back all successfully executed operations within the bundle as well as the operation that failed.

An FPC interface protocol used to support this specification may not need to support CONF_BUNDLE messages or specific TRANS_STRATEGY types beyond 'default' when the protocol provides similar semantics. However, this MUST be clearly defined in the specification that defines the interface protocol.

An Agent will respond with an ERROR, OK, or an OK WITH INDICATION that remaining data will be sent via a notify from the Agent to the Client Section 5.1.1.4.2 for CONFIG and CONF_BUNDLE requests. When returning an 'ok' of any kind, optional data MAY be present.

Two Agent notifications are supported:

Agent to Client Messages (notifications)
Message Type Description
CONFIG_RESULT_NOTIFY See Table 13 An asynchronous notification from Agent to Client based upon a previous CONFIG or CONF_BUNDLE request.
NOTIFY See Table 14 An asynchronous notification from Agent to Client based upon a registered MONITOR.

The HEADER is a part of all messages and is comprised of the following information:

CLT_ID:
The Client Identifier
DELAY (OPTIONAL):
The time (in ms) to delay the execution of ther operaiton on the DPN once it is received by the Agent.
OP_ID:
Operation Identifier

Results will be supplied per operation input. Each result contains the RESULT_STATUS and OP_ID that it corresponds to. RESULT_STATUS values are:

If an error occurs, information MUST be returned in the response. Error informaiton is comprised of the following:

5.1.1. CONFIG and CONF_BUNDLE Messages

CONFIG and CONF_BUNDLE include OP_TYPE as part of the header information:

OP_TYPE:
specifies the type of operation. Valid values are 'create' (0), 'update' (1), 'query' (2) or 'delete' (3).

The BODY is comprised of the following information:

COMMAND_SET:
Specifies the Command Set (see Section 5.1.1.2).
REF_SCOPE:
If supported, specifies the Reference Scope (see Section 5.1.1.3)
BODY INTERNALS:
A list of entities under Policy, e.g. Policy-Definitions, Action-Definitions, etc. as well as Installed Policies and Contexts when the OP_TYPE is 'create' or 'update'. Otherwise it is a list of Targets for 'query' or 'deletion'. See Section 6.1.3.2 for details.

CONF_BUNDLES includes an OP_ID with each body for tracking of the bundle's subtransactions.

5.1.1.1. Agent Operation Processing

The Agent will process entities provided in an operation in the following order:

  1. Action-Definitions
  2. Descriptor Defintions
  3. Rule Definitions
  4. Policy Definitions
  5. Installed Policies
  6. Mobility Contexts according to COMMAND_SET

5.1.1.2. Command Bitsets

The COMMAND_SET is a technology specific bitset that allows for a single entity to be sent in an operation with multiple requested sub-transactions to be completed. It can also provide clarity for a request. For example, a Mobility-Context could have the Home Network Prefix absent but it is unclear if the Client would like the address to be assigned by the Agent or if this is an error. Rather than creating a specific command for assigning the IP a bit position in a COMMAND_SET is reserved for Agent based IP assignment.

5.1.1.3. Reference Scope

The Reference Scope is an optional feature that provides the scope of references used in a configuration command, i.e. CONFIG or CONF_BUNDLE. These scopes are defined as

An agent that only accepts 'op' or 'bundle' reference scope messages is referred to as 'stateless' as it has no direct memory of references outside messages themselves. This permits low memory footprint Agents. Even when an Agent supports all message types an 'op' or 'bundle' scoped message can be processed quickly by the Agent as it does not require storage access.

5.1.1.4. Operation Response

5.1.1.4.1. Immediate Response

For CONF and CONF_BUNDLE the Response MAY include the the following:

5.1.1.4.2. Asynchronous Notification

A CONFIG_RESULT_NOTIFY occurs after the Agent has completed processing related to a CONFIG or CONF_BUNDLE request. It is an asynchronous communication from the Agent to the Client.

The values of the CONFIG_RESULT_NOTIFY are detailed in Table 13.

5.1.2. Monitors

An Agent may reject a registration if it or the DPN has insufficient resources.

An Agent or DPN may temporarily suspend monitoring if insufficient resources exist. In such a case the Agent MUST notify the Client.

When a monitor has a reporting configuration of SCHEDULED it is automatically de-registered after the last NOTIFY occurs.

If a SCHEDULED or PERIODIC configuration is provided during registration with the time related value (time or period respectively) of 0 a NOTIFY is sent and the monitor is immediately de-registered. This method should, when a MONITOR has not been installed, result in an immediate NOTIFY sufficient for the Client's needs and lets the Agent realize the Client has no further need for the monitor to be registered.

PROBE messages are also used by a Client to retrieve information about a previously installed monitor. The PROBE message SHOULD identify one or more monitors by means of including the associated monitor identifier. An Agent receiving a PROBE message sends the requested information in a single or multiple NOTIFY messages.

If the Monitor configuration associated with a NOTIFY is deterrable then the NOTIFY MAY be bundled with other messages back to the Agent even if this results in a delay of the NOTIFY.

5.1.2.1. Asynchronous Notification

A NOTIFY can be sent as part of de-registraiton, a trigger based upon a Monitor Configuration or a PROBE. A NOTIFY is comprised of unique Notification Identifier from the Agent, the Monitor ID the notification applies to, the Trigger for the notification, a timestamp of when the notification's associated event occurs and data that is specific to the monitored value's type.

5.2. Protocol Operation

5.2.1. Simple RPC Operation

An FPC Client and Agent MUST identify themselves using the CLI_ID and AGT_ID respectively to ensure that for all transactions a recipient of an FPC message can unambiguously identify the sender of the FPC message. A Client MAY direct the Agent to enforce a rule in a particular DPN by including a DPN_ID value in a Context. Otherwise the Agent selects a suitable DPN to enforce a Context and notifies the Client about the selected DPN using the DPN_ID.

All messages sent from a Client to an Agent MUST be acknowledged by the Agent. The response must include all entities as well as status information, which indicates the result of processing the message, using the RESPONSE_BODY property. In case the processing of the message results in a failure, the Agent sets the ERROR_TYPE and ERROR_TAG accordingly and MAY clear the entity, e.g. Context or Configurable-Policy, which caused the failure, in the response.

If based upon Agent configuration or the processing of the request possibly taking a significant amount of time the Agent MAY respond with a NOTIFY_FOLLOWS indicaiton with an optional RESPONSE_BODY containing the partially completed entities. When a NOTIFY_FOLLOWS indication is indicated, the Agent will, upon completion or failure of the operation, respond with an asynchronous CONFIG_RESULT_NOTIFY to the Client.

A Client MAY add a property to a Context without providing all required details of the attribute's value. In such case the Agent SHOULD determine the missing details and provide the completed property description back to the Client. If the processing will take too long or based upon Agent configuration, the Agent MAY respond with an OK that indicates a NOTIFY_FOLLOWS and also includes a RESPONSE_BODY containing the partially completed entities.

In case the Agent cannot determine the missing value of an attribute's value per the Client's request, it leaves the attribute's value cleared in the RESPONSE_BODY and sets the RESULT to Error, ERROR_TYPE and ERROR_TAG. As example, the Control-Plane needs to setup a tunnel configuration in the Data-Plane but has to rely on the Agent to determine the tunnel endpoint which is associated with the DPN that supports the Context. The Client adds the tunnel property attribute to the FPC message and clears the value of the attribute (e.g. IP address of the local tunnel endpoint). The Agent determines the tunnel endpoint and includes the completed tunnel property in its response to the Client.

Figure 15 illustrates an exemplary session life-cycle based on Proxy Mobile IPv6 registration via MAG Control-Plane function 1 (MAG-C1) and handover to MAG Control-Plane function 2 (MAG-C2). Edge DPN1 represents the Proxy CoA after attachment, whereas Edge DPN2 serves as Proxy CoA after handover. As exemplary architecture, the FPC Agent and the network control function are assumed to be co-located with the Anchor-DPN, e.g. a Router.

Figure 15: Exemplary Message Sequence (focus on FPC reference point)

After reception of the Proxy Binding Update (PBU) at the LMA Control-Plane function (LMA-C), the LMA-C selects a suitable DPN, which serves as Data-Plane anchor to the mobile node's (MN) traffic. The LMA-C adds a new logical Context to the DPN to treat the MN's traffic (1) and includes a Context Identifier (CONTEXT_ID) to the CONFIG command. The LMA-C identifies the selected Anchor DPN by including the associated DPN identifier and the Direction the entry applies to, BOTH.

The LMA-C adds properties during the creation of the new Context. One property is added to the DPN Settings Complimentary, to specify the forwarding tunnel type and endpoints (Anchor DPN, Edge DPN1) in each direction (as required). Another property is added to specify the QoS differentiation, which the MN's traffic should experience. At reception of the Context, the FPC Agent utilizes local configuration commands to create the tunnel (tun1) as well as the traffic control (tc) to enable QoS differentiation. After configuration has been completed, the Agent applies a new route to forward all traffic destined to the MN's HNP specified as a property in the Context's Complementary Settings and applied the configured tunnel interface (tun1).

During handover, the LMA-C receives an updating PBU from the handover target MAG-C2. The PBU refers to a new Data-Plane node (Edge DPN2) to represent the new tunnel endpoints in the downlink and uplink, as required. The LMA-C sends a CONFIG message (3) to the Agent to modify the existing tunnel property of the existing Context and to update the tunnel endpoint from Edge DPN1 to Edge DPN2. Upon reception of the CONFIG message, the Agent applies updated tunnel property to the local configuration and responds to the Client (4).

When a teardown of the session occurs, MAG-C1 will send a PBU with a lifetime value of zero. The LMA-C sends a CONFIG message (1) to the Agent to modify the existing tunnel property of the existing Context to delete the tunnel information.) Upon reception of the CONFIG message, the Agent removes the tunnel configuration and responds to the Client (2). Per [RFC5213], the PBA is sent back immediately after the PBA is received.

If no valid PBA is received after the expiration of the MinDelayBeforeBCEDelete timer (see [RFC5213]), the LMA-C will send a CONFIG (3) message with a deletion request for the Context. Upon reception of the message, the Agent deletes the tunnel and route on the DPN and responds to the Client (4).

When a multi-DPN Agent is used the DPN list permits several DPNs to be provisioned in a single message for the single Conext.

Figure 17: Exemplary Message Sequence for Multi-DPN Agent

Figure 17 shows how the first 2 messages in Figure 15 are supported when a multi-DPN Agent communicates with both Anchor DPN1 and Edge DPN2. In such a case, the FPC Client sends the downlink and uplink for both DPNs in the DPN Reference List of the same Context. Message 1 shows the DPN Reference List with all entries. Each entry identifies the DPN and direction (one of 'uplink', 'downlink' or 'both').

The Agent responds with an OK and NOTIFY_FOLLOWS indication while it simultaneoulsy provisions both DPNs. Upon successful completion, the Agent responds to the Client with a CONFIG_RESULT_NOTIFY indicating the operation status.

5.2.2. Policy And Mobility on the Agent

A Client may build Policy and Topology using any mechanism on the Agent. Such entities are not always required to be constructed in realtime and, therefore, there are no specific messages defined for them in this specification.

The Client may add, modify or delete many Installed Policies and Contexts in a single FPC message. This includes linking Contexts to Actions and Descriptors, i.e. a Rule. As example, a Rule which performs re-writing of an arriving packet's destination IP address from IP_A to IP_B matching an associated Descriptor, can be enforced in the Data-Plane via an Agent to implicitly consider matching arriving packet's source IP address against IP_B and re- write the source IP address to IP_A.

Figure 18 illustrates the generic policy configuration model as used between a FPC Client and a FPC Agent.

 +-------------- Data-Plane Rule ------------------+
        

Figure 18: Structure of Configurable Policies

As depicted in Figure 18, the Configurable-Policy represents the anchor of Rules through the Policy / Rule hierarchy. A Client and Agent use the identifier of the associated Policy to directly access the Rule and perform modifications of traffic Descriptors or Action references. A Client and Agent use the identifiers to access the Descriptors or Actions to perform modifications. From the viewpoint of packet processing, arriving packets are matched against traffic Descriptors and processed according to the treatment Actions specified in the list of properties associated with the Configurable-Policy.

A Client complements a rule's Descriptors with a Rule's Order (priority) value to allow unambiguous traffic matching on the Data-Plane.

 +-------------- Data-Plane Rule ------------------+
        

Figure 19: Structure of Contexts

As depicted in Figure 19, the Context represents a mobility session hierarchy. A Client and Agent directly assigns values such as downlink traffic descriptors, QoS information, etc. A Client and Agent use the context identifiers to access the descriptors, qos information, etc. to perform modifications. From the viewpoint of packet processing, arriving packets are matched against traffic Descriptors and processed according to the qos or other mobility profile related Actions specified in the Context's properties. If present, the final action is to use a Context's tunnel information to encapsulate and forward the packet.

A second Context also references context1 in the figure. Based upon the technology a property in a parent context (parent mobility-context-id reference) MAY be inherited by its descendants. This permits concise over the wire representation. When a Client deletes a parent Context all children are also deleted.

5.2.3. Optimization for Current and Subsequent Messages

5.2.3.1. Configuration Bundles

Bundles provide transaction boundaries around work in a single message. Operations in a bundle MUST be successfully executed in the order specified. This allows references created in one operation to be used in a subsequent operation in the bundle.

The example bundle shows in Operation 1 (OP 1) the creation of a Context 1 which is then referenced in Operation 2 (OP 2) by CONTEXT_ID 2. If OP 1 fails then OP 2 will not be executed. The advantage of the CONF_BUNDLE is preservation of dependency orders in a single message as opposed to sending multiple CONFIG messages and awaiting results from the Agent.

When a CONF_BUNDLE fails, any entities provisioned in the CURRENT operation are removed, however, any successful operations completed prior to the current operation are preserved in order to reduce system load.

Figure 20: Exemplary Bundle Message (focus on FPC reference point)

5.2.3.2. Command Bitsets (Optional)

Command Sets permit the ability to provide a single, unified data structure, e.g. Mobility-Context, and specify which activities are expected to be performed on the DPN. This has some advantages

As Command Bitsets are technology specific, e.g. PMIP or 3GPP Mobility, the type of work varies on the DPN and the amount of data present in a Context or Port will vary. Using the technology specific instructions allows the Client to serve multiple technologies and MAY result in a more stateless Client as the instructions are transferred the Agent which will match the desired, technology specific instructions with the capabilities and over the wire protocol of the DPN more efficiently.

5.2.3.3. Reference Scope(Optional)

Although entities MAY refer to any other entity of an appropriate type, e.g. Contexts can refer to Policies or other Contexts, the Reference Scope gives the Agent an idea of where those references reside. They may be in the same operation, an operation in the same CONF_BUNDLE message or in storage. There may also be no references. This permits the Agent to understand when it can stop searching for reference it cannot find. For example, if a CONF_BUNDLE message uses a Reference Scope of type 'op' then it merely needs to keep an operation level cache and consume no memory or resources searching across the many operations in the CONF_BUNDLE message or the data store.

Agents can also be stateless by only supporting the 'none', 'op' and 'bundle' reference scopes. This does not imply they lack storage but merely the search space they use when looking up references for an entity. The figure below shows the caching hierarchy provided by the Reference Scope

Caches are temporarily created at each level and as the scope includes more caches the amount of entities that are searched increases. Figure 21 shows an example containment hierarchy provided for all caches.

5.2.3.4. Basename Registry Feature (Optional)

The Optional BaseName Registry support feature is provided to permit Clients and tenants with common scopes, referred to in this specification as BaseNames, to track the state of provisioned policy information on an Agent. The registry records the BaseName and Checkpoint set by a Client. If a new Client attaches to the Agent it can query the Registry to determine the amount of work that must be executed to configure the Agent to a BaseName / checkpoint revision. A State value is also provided in the registry to help Clients coordinate work on common BaseNames.

The following COMMAND_SET values are supported for 3GPP.

8. Implementation Status

Three FPC Agent implementations have been made to date. The first was based upon Version 03 of the draft and followed Model 1. The second follows Version 04 of the document. Both implementations were OpenDaylight plug-ins developed in Java by Sprint. Version 03 was known as fpcagent and version 04's implementation is simply referred to as 'fpc'. A third has been devloped on an ONOS Controller for use in MCORD projects.

fpcagent's intent was to provide a proof of concept for FPC Version 03 Model 1 in January 2016 and research various errors, corrections and optimizations that the Agent could make when supporting multiple DPNs.

As the code developed to support OpenFlow and a proprietary DPN from a 3rd party, several of the advantages of a multi-DPN Agent became obvious including the use of machine learning to reduce the number of Flows and Policy entities placed on the DPN. This work has driven new efforts in the DIME WG, namely Diameter Policy Groups [I-D.bertz-dime-policygroups].

A throughput performance of tens per second using various NetConf based solutions in OpenDaylight made fpcagent undesirable for call processing. The RPC implementation improved throughput by an order of magnitude but was not useful based upon FPC's Version 03 design using two information models. During this time the features of version 04 and its converged model became attractive and the fpcagent project was closed in August 2016. fpcagent will no longer be developed and will remain a proprietary implementation.

The learnings of fpcagent has influenced the second project, fpc. Fpc is also an OpenDaylight project but is an open source release as the Opendaylight FpcAgent plugin (https://wiki.opendaylight.org/view/Project_Proposals:FpcAgent). This project is scoped to be a fully compliant FPC Agent that supports multiple DPNs including those that communicate via OpenFlow. The following features present in this draft and others developed by the FPC development team have already lead to an order of magnitude improvement.

Migration of non-realtime provisioning of entities such as topology and policy allowed the implementation to focus only on the rpc.
Using only 5 messages and 2 notifications has also reduced implementation time.
Command Sets, an optional feature in this specification, have eliminated 80% of the time spent determining what needs to be done with a Context during a Create or Update operation.
Op Reference is an optional feature modeled after video delivery. It has reduced unnecessary cache lookups. It also has the additional benefit of allowing an Agent to become cacheless and effectively act as a FPC protocol adapter remotely with multi-DPN support or colocated on the DPN in a single-DPN support model.
Multi-tenant support allows for Cache searches to be partitioned for clustering and performance improvements. This has not been capitalized upon by the current implementation but is part of the development roadmap.
Use of Contexts to pre-provision policy has also eliminated any processing of Ports for DPNs which permitted the code for CONFIGURE and CONF_BUNDLE to be implemented as a simple nested FOR loops (see below).

Initial v04 performance results without code optimizations or tuning allow 2-5K FPC Contexts processed per second on a 2013 Mac laptop. This results in 2x the number of transactions on the southbound interface to a proprietary DPN API on the same machine.

Current v04 performance results without code optimizations or tuning allow 1-2K FPC Contexts processed per second on a 2013 Mac laptop. This results in 2x the number of transactions on the southbound interface to a proprietary DPN API on the same machine.

fpc currently supports the following:

1 proprietary DPN API
Policy and Topology as defined in this specification using OpenDaylight North Bound Interfaces such as NetConf and RestConf
CONFIG and CONF_BUNDLE (all operations)
DPN assignment, Tunnel allocations and IPv4 address assignment by the Agent or Client.
Immediate Response is always an OK_NOTIFY_FOLLOWS.

assignment system (receives rpc call):
  perform basic operation integrity check
  if CONFIG then
    goto assignments
    if assignments was ok then
      send request to activation system
      respond back to client with assignment data
    else
      send back error
    end if
  else if CONF_BUNDLE then
    for each operation in bundles
    goto assignments
    if assignments was ok then
      hold onto data
    else
      return error with the assignments that occurred in
        prior operations (best effort)
    end if
    end for
    send bundles to activation systems
  end if

assignments:
  assign DPN, IPv4 Address and/or tunnel info as required
  if an error occurs undo all assignments in this operation
  return result

activation system:
  build cache according to op-ref and operation type
  for each operation
    for each Context
      for each DPN / direction in Context
        perform actions on DPN according to Command Set
      end for
    end for
  end for
  commit changes to in memory cache
  log transaction for tracking and notification
                                (CONFIG_RESULT_NOTIFY)

NOTE: Tenant support requires binding a Client ID to a Tenant ID (it is a one to many relation) but that is outside of the scope of this specification. Otherwise, the specification is complete in terms of providing sufficient information to implement an Agent.

9. Security Considerations

Detailed protocol implementations for DMM Forwarding Policy Configuration must ensure integrity of the information exchanged between an FPC Client and an FPC Agent. Required Security Associations may be derived from co-located functions, which utilize the FPC Client and FPC Agent respectively.

The YANG modules defined in this memo is designed to be accessed via the NETCONF [RFC6241] or RESTCONF [RFC8040] protocol. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is SSH [RFC6242].

The information model defined in the memo is designed to be access by protocols specified in extensions to this document or, if using the YANG modules, as described above.

There are a number of data nodes defined which are writable/creatable/deletable. These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. Write operations (e.g., a NETCONF edit-config) to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

Some of the readable data nodes defined may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or notification) to these data nodes. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

Some of the RPC operations defined may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control access to these operations. These are the operations and their sensitivity/vulnerability:

General usage of FPC MUST consider the following:
