Introduction [RFC8955] describes in details about a new BGP NLRI to distribute a flow specification, which is an n-tuple comprising a sequence of matching criteria that can be applied to IP traffic. [RFC8956] extends [RFC8955] to make it also usable and applicable to IPv6 data packets. [I-D.ietf-idr-flowspec-l2vpn] extends the flow-spec rules for layer 2 Ethernet packets. [I-D.hares-idr-flowspec-v2] specifies BGP Flow Specification Version 2. Li, et al. Expires October 10, 2022 [Page 2] Internet-Draft BGP Flow Specification for SRv6 April 2022 Segment Routing (SR) for unicast traffic has been proposed to cope with the usecases in traffic engineering, fast re-reroute, service chain, etc. SR architecture can be implemented over an IPv6 data plane using a new type of IPv6 extension header called Segment Routing Header (SRH) [I-D.ietf-6man-segment-routing-header]. SRv6 Network Programming [RFC8986] defines the SRv6 network programming concept and its most basic functions. An SRv6 SID may have the form of LOC:FUNCT:ARG::. LOC: Each operator is free to use the locator length it chooses. Most often the LOC part of the SID is routable and leads to the node which instantiates that SID. FUNCT: The FUNCT part of the SID is an opaque identification of a local function bound to the SID. E.g., End.X, End.T, End.DX2, etc. ARG: A function may require additional arguments that would be placed immediately after the FUNCT. This document specifies one new BGP Flow Specification (FS) component type to support Segment Routing over IPv6 data plane (SRv6) filtering for BGP Flow Specification Version 2. The match field is destination address of IPv6 header, but it's a SRv6 SID from SRH rather than a traditional IPv6 address (refer to Figure 1). To support these features, a Flowspec version that is IPv6 capable (i.e., AFI = 2) MUST be used. These match capabilities of the features MAY be permitted to match when there is an accompanying SRH. +-----------------------------+ IPv6 Header| SA | DA |<--Match field of this document +--------------------^--------+ | +--------------------|--------+ | +-------------+ | +-------------------+ | | Segment[0] +-------> Loc | Func | Arg | | +-------------+ | +-------------------+ | | Segment[1] | | | +-------------+ | | | ... | | SR Header| +-------------+ | | | Segment[n] | | | +-------------+ | | +-------------+ | | ~ Option TLV ~ | | +-------------+ | +-----------------------------+ Figure 1: Match Field Li, et al.

Definitions and Acronyms o FS: Flow Specification o BGP-FS: Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Flow Specification (FS) o SR: Segment Routing o SRH: SR Header. o SRv6: IPv6 Segment Routing, SRv6 is a method of forwarding IPv6 packets on the network based on the concept of source routing. o SID: Segment Identifier o BSID: Binding SID 3. The Flow Specification Encoding for SRv6 The Flow Specification NLRI-type consists of several optional components, each of which begins with a type field (1 octet) followed by a variable length parameter. 13 component types are defined in [RFC8955] and [RFC8956] for IPv4 and IPv6. This document defines one component type for SRv6. 3.1. Type TBD1 - Some Parts of SID [RFC8986] defines the format of SID is LOC:FUNCT:ARG::. In some scenarios, traffic packets can just match Locator, Function ID, Arguments or some combinations of these different fields. In order to match a part of SID, its prior parts need to be examined and matched first. For example, in order to match the Function ID (FUNCT), the Locator (LOC) needs to be examined and matched first. The new component type TBD1 defined below is for matching some parts of SID. Encoding: o type (1 octet): This indicates the new component type (TBD1, which is to be assigned by IANA). o LOC-Len (1 octet): This indicates the length in bits of LOC in SID. o FUNCT-Len (1 octet): This indicates the length in bits of FUNCT in SID. Li, et al. Expires October 10, 2022 [Page 4] Internet-Draft BGP Flow Specification for SRv6 April 2022 o ARG-Len (1 octet): This indicates the length in bits of ARG in SID. o [op, value]+: This contains a list of {operator, value} pairs that are used to match some parts of SID. The total of three lengths (i.e., LOC length + FUNCT length + ARG length) MUST NOT be greater than 128. If it is greater than 128, an error occurs and Error Handling is applied according to [RFC7606] and [RFC4760]. The operator (op) byte is encoded as: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ | e | a | field type|lt |gt |eq | +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ where the behavior of each operator bit has clear symmetry with that of [RFC8955]'s Numeric Operator field. e - end-of-list bit. Set in the last {op, value} pair in the sequence. a - AND bit. If unset, the previous term is logically ORed with the current one. If set, the operation is a logical AND. It should be unset in the first operator byte of a sequence. The AND operator has higher priority than OR for the purposes of evaluating logical expressions. field type: 000: SID's LOC 001: SID's FUNCT 010: SID's ARG 011: SID's LOC:FUNCT 100: SID's FUNCT:ARG 101: SID's LOC:FUNCT:ARG For an unknown type, Error Handling is applied according to [RFC7606] and [RFC4760]. lt - less than comparison between data' and value'. Li, et al. Expires October 10, 2022 [Page 5] Internet-Draft BGP Flow Specification for SRv6 April 2022 gt - greater than comparison between data' and value'. eq - equality between data' and value'. The data' and value' used in lt, gt and eq are indicated by the field type in a operator and the value field following the operator. The value field depends on the field type and has the value of SID's some parts rounding up to bytes (refer to the table below). +-----------------------+------------------------------+ | Field Type | Value | +=======================+==============================+ | SID's LOC | value of LOC bits | +-----------------------+------------------------------+ | SID's FUNCT | value of FUNCT bits | +-----------------------+------------------------------+ | SID's ARG | value of ARG bits | +-----------------------+------------------------------+ | SID's LOC:FUNCT | value of LOC:FUNCT bits | +-----------------------+------------------------------+ | SID's FUNCT:ARG | value of FUNCT:ARG bits | +-----------------------+------------------------------+ | SID's LOC:FUNCT:ARG | value of LOC:FUNCT:ARG bits | +-----------------------+------------------------------+ 3.2. Encoding Examples 3.2.1. Example 1 An example of a Flow Specification NLRI encoding for: all SRv6 packets to LOC 2001:db8:3::/48 and FUNCT {range [0100, 0300]}.

Security Considerations No new security issues are introduced to the BGP protocol by this specification over the security considerations in [RFC8955] and [RFC8956]. 5. IANA Considerations Under "Flow Spec Component Types" registry, IANA is requested to assign the following values: +-----------+------------+-------------------+----------------+ | Value | IPv4 Name | IPv6 Name | Reference | +-----------+------------+-------------------+----------------+ | TBD1 | Unassigned | Some Parts of SID | This Document | +-----------+------------+-------------------+----------------+ 6.
