OSPF Working Group J. Tantsura Internet-Draft Nuage Networks Intended status: Standards Track U. Chunduri Expires: October 7, 2018 Huawei Technologies S. Aldrin Google, Inc P. Psenak Cisco Systems April 05, 2018 Signaling MSD (Maximum SID Depth) using OSPF draft-ietf-ospf-segment-routing-msd-10 Abstract This document defines a way for an OSPF Router to advertise multiple types of supported Maximum SID Depths (MSDs) at node and/or link granularity. Such advertisements allow entities (e.g., centralized controllers) to determine whether a particular SID stack can be supported in a given network. This document only defines one type of MSD maximum label imposition, but defines an encoding which can support other MSD types. Here the term OSPF means both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3.

Introduction When Segment Routing(SR) paths are computed by a centralized controller, it is critical that the controller learns the Maximum SID Depth(MSD) that can be imposed at each node/link a given SR path to insure that the SID stack depth of a computed path doesn't exceed the number of SIDs the node is capable of imposing. The PCEP SR extensions draft [I-D.ietf-pce-segment-routing] signals MSD in SR PCE Capability TLV and METRIC Object. However, if PCEP is not supported/configured on the head-end of an SR tunnel or a Binding-SID anchor node and controller does not participate in IGP routing, it has no way to learn the MSD of nodes and links which has been configured. BGP-LS [RFC7752] defines a way to expose topology and associated attributes and capabilities of the nodes in that topology to a centralized controller. MSD signaling by BGP-LS has been defined in [I-D.ietf-idr-bgp-ls-segment-routing-msd]. Typically, BGP-LS is configured on a small number of nodes that do Tantsura, et al. Expires October 7, 2018 [Page 2] Internet-Draft April 2018 not necessarily act as head-ends. In order for BGP-LS to signal MSD for all the nodes and links in the network MSD is relevant, MSD capabilites should be advertised to every OSPF router in the network. Other types of MSD are known to be useful. For example, [I-D.ietf-ospf-mpls-elc] defines Readable Label Depth Capability (RLDC) that is used by a head-end to insert an Entropy Label (EL) at a depth that can be read by transit nodes. This document defines an extension to OSPF used to advertise one or more types of MSD at node and/or link granularity. It also creates an IANA registry for assigning MSD type identifiers. It laso defines the Base MPLS Imposition MSD type. In the future it is expected, that new MSD types will be defined to signal additional capabilities e.g., entropy labels, SIDs that can be imposed through recirculation, or SIDs associated with another dataplane e.g., IPv6. 1.1. Conventions used in this document 1.1.1. Terminology BGP-LS: Distribution of Link-State and TE Information using Border Gateway Protocol BMI: Base MPLS Imposition is the number of MPLS labels that can be imposed inclusive of any service/transport labels OSPF: Open Shortest Path First MSD: Maximum SID Depth - the number of SIDs a node or one of its links can support PCC: Path Computation Client PCE: Path Computation Element PCEP: Path Computation Element Protocol SID: Segment Identifier SR: Segment Routing 1.2. Requirements Language The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in Tantsura, et al. Expires October 7, 2018 [Page 3] Internet-Draft April 2018 BCP14 [RFC2119], [RFC8174] when, and only when they appear in all capitals, as shown here . 2. Terminology This memo makes use of the terms defined in [RFC4970]. 3. Node MSD TLV The node MSD TLV within the body of the OSPF RI Opaque LSA is defined to carry the provisioned SID depth of the router originating the RI LSA. Node MSD is the minimum MSD supported by the node. 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 | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Sub-Type and Value ... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ... Figure 1: Node MSD TLV The Type: TBD1 Length: variable (minimum of 2, multiple of 2 octets) and represents the total length of value field. Value: consists of a 1 octet sub-type (IANA Registry) and 1 octet value. Sub-Type 1 (IANA Section), MSD and the Value field contains maximum MSD of the router originating the RI LSA. Node Maximum MSD is a number in the range of 0-254. 0 represents lack of the ability to impose MSD stack of any depth; any other value represents that of the node. This value SHOULD represent the minimum value supported by a node. Other Sub-types other than defined above are reserved for future extensions. This TLV is applicable to OSPFv2 and to OSPFv3 [RFC5838] and is optional. The scope of the advertisement is specific to the deployment. Tantsura, et al. Expires October 7, 2018 [Page 4] Internet-Draft April 2018 4. Link MSD sub-TLV A new sub-TLV called Link MSD sub-TLV is defined to carry the provisioned SID depth of the interface associated with the link. 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 | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Sub-Type and Value ... +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ ... Figure 2: Link MSD Sub-TLV Type: For OSPFv2, the Link level MSD value is advertised as an optional Sub-TLV of the OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV as defined in [RFC7684], and has value of TBD2. For OSPFv3, the Link level MSD value is advertised as an optional Sub-TLV of the Router-Link TLV as defined in [I-D.ietf-ospf-ospfv3-lsa-extend], and has value of TBD3. Length: variable and similar to what is defined in Section 3. Value: consists of a 1 octet sub-type (IANA Registry) and 1 octet value. Sub-Type 1 (IANA Section), MSD and the Value field contains Link MSD of the router originating the corresponding LSA as specified for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. Link MSD is a number in the range of 0-254. 0 represents lack of the ability to impose MSD stack of any depth; any other value represents that of the particular link MSD value. Other Sub-types other than defined above are reserved for future extensions. 5. Using Node and Link MSD Advertisements When Link MSD is present for a given MSD type, the value of the Link MSD MUST take preference over the Node MSD. The meaning of the absence of both Node and Link MSD advertisements for a given MSD type is specific to the MSD type. Generally it can Tantsura, et al. Expires October 7, 2018 [Page 5] Internet-Draft April 2018 only be inferred that the advertising node does not support advertisement of that MSD type. However, in some cases the lack of advertisement might imply that the functionality associated with the MSD type is not supported. The correct interpretation MUST be specified when an MSD type is defined. 6. Base MPLS Imposition MSD The Base MPLS Imposition MSD (BMI-MSD) signals the total number of MPLS labels a node is capable of imposing, including any service/ transport labels. Absence of BMI-MSD advertisements indicates solely that the advertising node does not support advertisement of this capability. 7. IANA Considerations This document requests IANA to allocate TLV type (TBD1) from the OSPF Router Information (RI) TLVs Registry as defined by [RFC4970]. IANA has allocated the value 12 through the early assignment process. Also, this document requests IANA to allocate a sub-TLV type (TBD2) from the OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV Sub-TLVs registry. IANA has allocated the the value 6 through the early assignment process. Finally, this document requests IANA to allocate a sub-TLV type (TBD3) from the OSPFv3 Extended-LSA Sub-TLV registry. This document requests creation of an IANA managed registry under a new category of "Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) Parameters" IANA registries to identify MSD types as proposed in Section 3, Section 4. The registration procedure is "Expert Review" as defined in [RFC8126]. The suggested registry name is "MSD types". Types are an unsigned 8 bit number. The following values are defined by this document.
