   Abstract 

   RFC 4874 specifies methods by which path exclusions may be 
   communicated during RSVP-TE signaling in networks where precise 
   explicit paths are not computed by the LSP source node. This 
   document specifies signaling for additional route exclusion 
   subobjects based on Paths currently existing or expected to exist 
   within the network.

   1. Introduction 

      Path diversity is a well-known requirement from Service Providers. 
      Such diversity ensures Label-Switched Paths (LSPs) may be 
      established without sharing resources, thus greatly reducing the 
      probability of simultaneous connection failures.

   Internet Draft      draft-ietf-ccamp-lsp-diversity-03.txt 

      When a source node has full topological knowledge and is permitted 
      to signal an Explicit Route Object, diverse paths can be computed 
      locally. However, there are scenarios when path computations are 
      performed by remote nodes, thus there is a need for relevant 
      diversity requirements to be communicated to those nodes. These 
      include (but are not limited to): 

      .  LSPs with loose hops in the Explicit Route Object (ERO), e.g. 
        inter-domain LSPs;   

      .  Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) User-
        Network Interface (UNI) where path computation may be performed 
        by the (server layer) core node [RFC4208]. 

      [RFC4874] introduced a means of specifying nodes and resources to 
      be excluded from a route, using the eXclude Route Object (XRO) and 
      Explicit Exclusion Route Subobject (EXRS).  

      [RFC4874] facilitates the calculation of diverse paths for LSPs 
      based on known properties of those paths including addresses of 
      links and nodes traversed, and Shared Risk Link Groups (SRLGs) of 
      traversed links. Employing these mechanisms requires that the 
      source node that initiates signaling knows the relevant properties 
      of the path(s) from which diversity is desired. However, there are 
      circumstances under which this may not be possible or desirable, 
      including (but not limited to): 

      .  Exclusion of a path which does not originate, terminate or 
         traverse the source node signaling the diverse LSP, in which 
         case the addresses and SRLGs of the path from which diversity 
         is required are unknown to the source node.  

      .  Exclusion of a path which is known to the source node of the 
         diverse LSP, however the node has incomplete or no path 
         information, e.g. due to policy. In other words, the scenario 
         in which the reference path is known by the source / requesting 
         node but the properties required to construct an XRO object are 
         not fully known. Inter-domain and GMPLS overlay networks can 
         present such restrictions.  

      This document defines procedures that may be used to exclude the 
      path taken by a particular LSP, or the paths taken by all LSPs 
      belonging to a single tunnel. The diversity requirements 
      considered in this document do not require that the paths in 
      question belong to the same tunnel or share the same source or 
      destination node.

   Internet Draft      draft-ietf-ccamp-lsp-diversity-03.txt 

      If mutually diverse paths are desired for two LSPs belonging to 
      different tunnels, it is recommended that they be signaled with 
      XRO LSP subobjects referencing each other. The processing rules 
      specified in this document cover this case.  

      The means by which the node calculating or expanding the route of 
      the signaled LSP discovers the route of the path(s) from which 
      the signaled LSP requires diversity are beyond the scope of this 
      document.  

      This document addresses only the exclusion of point-to-point 
      paths. Exclusion of point-to-multipoint paths is beyond the scope 
      of this document. 

   2. RSVP-TE signaling extensions 

      This section describes the signaling extensions required to 
      address the aforementioned requirements. Specifically, this 
      document defines a new LSP subobject to be signaled in the 
      EXCLUDE_ROUTE object (XRO) and/ or Explicit Exclusion Route 
      Subobject (EXRS) defined in [RFC4874]. Inclusion of the LSP 
      subobject in any other RSVP object is not defined.  

   2.1. Terminology 

      In this document, the following terminology is adopted: 

      Excluded path: the path from which diversity is required. 

      Diverse LSP: the LSP being signaled with XRO/ EXRS containing the 
      path subobject referencing the excluded path(s).  

      Processing node: the node performing a path-calculation involving 
      exclusion specified in an XRO or EXRS. 

      Destination node: in the context of an XRO, this is the 
      destination of the LSP being signaled. In the context of an EXRS, 
      the destination node is the last explicit node to which the loose 
      hop is expanded. 

      Penultimate node: in the context of an XRO, this is the 
      penultimate hop of the LSP being signaled. In the context of an 
      EXRS, the penultimate node is the penultimate node of the loose 
      hop undergoing expansion.

        L: 
             The L-flag is used as for the other XRO subobjects defined 
             in [RFC4874]. 
              
             0 indicates that the attribute specified MUST be excluded.

            The length contains the total length of the subobject in 
            bytes, including the type and length fields. The length is 
            always 24. 

        Attribute Flags: 

            The Attribute Flags are used to communicate desirable 
            attributes of the LSP being signaled. The following flags 
            are defined. Each flag acts independently.  Any combination 
            of flags is permitted.  

            0x01 = LSP ID to be ignored 

               Indicates tunnel level exclusion. Specifically, this 
               flag is used to indicate that the lsp-id field of the 
               subobject is to be ignored and the exclusion applies to 
               any LSP matching the rest of the supplied FEC.  

            0x02 = Destination node exception 

               Indicates that exclusion does not apply to the 
               destination node of the LSP being signaled. 

            0x04 = Processing node exception 

               Indicates that exclusion does not apply to the ERO 
               processing node of the LSP being signaled. 

            0x08 = Penultimate node exception 

               Indicates that the penultimate node of the LSP being 
               signaled MAY be shared with the excluded path even when 
               this violates the exclusion flags.  

               Indicates that exclusion does not apply to the 
               penultimate node of the LSP being signaled. 

        Exclusion Flags  
         
             The Exclusion-Flags are used to communicate the desired 
             type(s) of exclusion. The following flags are defined.   
    
             0x01 = SRLG exclusion

                  Indicates that the path of the LSP being signaled is 
                  requested to be SRLG diverse from the excluded path 
                  specified by the LSP subobject.  
                   
             0x02 = Node exclusion 
              
                  Indicates that the path of the LSP being signaled is 
                  requested to be node diverse from the excluded path 
                  specified by the LSP subobject.  

                  (Note: the meaning of this flag may be modified by 
                  the value of the Attribute-flags.) 

             0x04 = Link exclusion 
              
                  Indicates that the path of the LSP being signaled is 
                  requested to be link diverse from the path specified 
                  by the LSP subobject.  
       
      The remaining fields are as defined in [RFC3209].

        Length 

            The length contains the total length of the subobject in 
            bytes, including the type and length fields. The length is 
            always 48. 

      The Attribute Flags and Exclusion Flags are as defined for the 
      IPv4 Point-to-Point LSP XRO subobject. 

      The remaining fields are as defined in [RFC3209]. 
       
    
   2.3. Processing rules for the Path XRO subobjects 

      XRO processing as described in [RFC4874] is unchanged. 

      If the processing node is the destination for the LSP being 
      signaled, it SHOULD NOT process a Path XRO subobject. 

      If the L-flag is not set, the processing node follows the 
      following procedure:  

      -  The processing node MUST ensure that any path calculated for 
         the signaled LSP respects the requested exclusion flags with 
         respect to the excluded path referenced by the subobject, 
         including local resources.  

      -  If the processing node fails to find a path that meets the 
         requested constraint, the processing node MUST return a PathErr 
         with the error code "Routing Problem" (24) and error sub-code 
         "Route blocked by Exclude Route" (67). 

      -  If the excluded path referenced in the LSP subobject is 
         unknown to the processing node, the processing node SHOULD 
         ignore the LSP subobject in the XRO and SHOULD proceed with the

   Internet Draft      draft-ietf-ccamp-lsp-diversity-03.txt 

         signaling request. After sending the Resv for the signaled LSP, 
         the processing node SHOULD return a PathErr with the error code 
         "Notify Error" (25) and error sub-code "Route of XRO path 
         unknown" (value to be assigned by IANA, suggested value: 13) 
         for the signaled LSP.  

      If the L-flag is set, the processing node follows the procedure 
      below:  

      -  The processing node SHOULD respect the requested exclusion 
         flags with respect to the excluded path to the extent possible.  

      -  If the processing node fails to find a path that meets the 
         requested constraint, it SHOULD proceed with signaling using a 
         suitable path that meets the constraint as far as possible. 
         After sending the Resv for the signaled LSP, it SHOULD return a 
         PathErr message with error code "Notify Error" (25) and error 
         sub-code "Failed to respect Exclude Route" (value: to be 
         assigned by IANA, suggest value: 14) to the source node.  

      -  If the excluded path referenced in the LSP subobject is 
         unknown to the processing node, the processing node SHOULD 
         ignore the LSP subobject in the XRO and SHOULD proceed with the 
         signaling request. After sending the Resv for signaled LSP, the 
         processing node SHOULD return a PathErr message with the error 
         code "Notify Error" (25) and error sub-code "Route of XRO path 
         unknown" for the signaled LSP.  

      If, subsequent to the initial signaling of a diverse LSP: 

      -   an excluded path referenced in the diverse LSP's XRO 
         subobject becomes known to the processing node (e.g. when the 
         excluded path is signaled), or  

      -   A change in the excluded path becomes known to the processing 
         node,  

      the processing node SHOULD re-evaluate the exclusion and 
      diversity constraints requested by the diverse LSP to determine 
      whether they are still satisfied. 

      -   If the requested exclusion constraints for the diverse LSP 
         are no longer satisfied and an alternative path for the diverse 
         LSP that can satisfy those constraints exists, the processing 
         node SHOULD send a PathErr message for the diverse LSP with the 
         error code "Notify Error" (25) and a new error sub-code 
         "compliant path exists" (value: to be assigned by IANA, suggest

         value: 15). A source node receiving a PathErr message with this 
         error code and sub-code combination MAY try to reoptimize the 
         diverse tunnel to the new compliant path. 

      -   If the requested exclusion constraints for the diverse LSP 
         are no longer satisfied and no alternative path for the diverse 
         LSP that can satisfy those constraints exists, then: 

           o If the L-flag was not set in the original exclusion, the 
              processing node MUST send a PathErr message for the 
              diverse LSP with the error code "Routing Problem" (24) and 
              error sub-code "Route blocked by Exclude Route" (67). The 
              PSR flag SHOULD NOT be set. 

           o If the L-flag was set in the original exclusion, the 
              processing node SHOULD send a PathErr message for the 
              diverse LSP with the error code error code "Notify Error" 
              (25) and error sub-code "Failed to respect Exclude Route" 
              (value: to be assigned by IANA, suggest value: 14). 

      The following rules apply whether or not the L-flag is set:  

      -  An XRO object MAY contain multiple path subobjects.  

      -  A source node receiving a PathErr message with the error code 
         "Notify Error" (25) and error sub-codes "Route of XRO path 
         unknown" or "Failed to respect Exclude Route" MAY take no 
         action. 

      -  The attribute-flags affect the processing of the XRO subobject 
         as follows: 

           o  When the "LSP ID to be ignored" flag is set, the 
             processing node MUST calculate a path based on exclusions 
             from the paths of all known LSPs matching the tunnel-id, 
             source, destination and extended tunnel-id specified in 
             the subobject (i.e., tunnel level exclusion). When this 
             flag is not set, the lsp-id is not ignored and the 
             exclusion applies only to the specified LSP (i.e., LSP 
             level exclusion).  

           o  When the "destination node exception" flag is not set, the 
             exclusion flags SHOULD also be respected for the 
             destination node.

   Internet Draft      draft-ietf-ccamp-lsp-diversity-03.txt 

           o  When the "processing node exception" flag is not set, the 
             exclusion flags SHOULD also be respected for the 
             processing node.  

           o  When the "penultimate node exception" flag is not set, the 
             exclusion flags SHOULD also be respected for the 
             penultimate node. 

   2.4. Path EXRS Subobject 

      [RFC4874] defines the EXRS ERO subobject. An EXRS is used to 
      identify abstract nodes or resources that must not or should not 
      be used on the path between two inclusive abstract nodes or 
      resources in the explicit route. An EXRS contains one or more 
      subobjects of its own, called EXRS subobjects [RFC4874]. 

      An EXRS MAY include an IPv4 Point-to-Point (P2P) Path subobject 
      as specified in section 2.2.1. In this case, the EXRS format 
      would be 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

      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 
      |L|    Type     |     Length    |Attribute Flags|Exclusion Flags|

      |          Must Be Zero         |     Tunnel ID                 | 
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 
      |                       Extended Tunnel ID                      | 
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 
      |                   IPv4 tunnel sender address                  |

      |          Must Be Zero         |            LSP ID             | 
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 
       

      The meanings of respective fields in EXRS header are as defined 
      in [RFC4874]. The meanings of respective fields in IPv4 P2P Path 
      subobject are as defined earlier in this document.  

      The processing rules for the EXRS object are unchanged from 
      [RFC4874]. When the EXRS contains one or more Path subobject(s), 

    
    
   Ali, Swallow, Filsfils, et al     Expires July 2014        [Page 12] 
       


   Internet Draft      draft-ietf-ccamp-lsp-diversity-03.txt 

      the processing rules specified in Section 2.3 apply to the node 
      processing the ERO with the EXRS subobject.  

      If a loose-hop expansion results in the creation of another 
      loose-hop in the outgoing ERO, the processing node MAY include 
      the EXRS in the newly-created loose hop for further processing by 
      downstream nodes. 

      The processing node exception for the EXRS subobject applies to 
      the node processing the ERO.  

      The destination node exception for the EXRS subobject applies to 
      the explicit node identified by the ERO subobject that identifies 
      the next abstract node. This flag is only processed if the L bit 
      is set in the ERO subobject that identifies the next abstract 
      node.  

      The penultimate node exception for the EXRS subobject applies to 
      the node before the explicit node identified by the ERO subobject 
      that identifies the next abstract node. This flag is only 
      processed if the L bit is set in the ERO subobject that 
      identifies the next abstract node.  

   3. Security Considerations 

      This document does not introduce any additional security issues 
      above those identified in [RFC5920], [RFC2205], [RFC3209], 
      [RFC3473] and [RFC4874].
