Abstract

   draft-ietf-mpls-flow-ident describes the requirement for introducing
   flow identities within the MPLS architecture.  This document
   describes a method of accomplishing this by using a technique called
   Synonymous Flow Labels in which labels which mimic the behaviour of
   other labels provide the identification service.  These identifiers
   can be used to trigger per-flow operations on the on the packet at
   the receiving label switching router.

1.  Introduction

   [I-D.ietf-mpls-flow-ident] describes the requirement for introducing
   flow identities within the MPLS architecture.

   This document describes a method of accomplishing this by using a
   technique called Synonymous Flow Labels (SFL) (see (Section 2)) in
   which labels which mimic the behaviour of other labels provide the
   identification service.  These identifiers can be used to trigger
   per-flow operations on the packet at the receiving label switching
   router.

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 BCP

   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

3.  Synonymous Flow Labels

   An SFL is defined to be a label that causes exactly the same
   behaviour at the egress Label Switching Router (LSR) as the label it
   replaces, but in addition also causes an agreed action to take place
   on the packet.  There are many possible additional actions such as
   the measurement of the number of received packets in a flow,
   triggering IPFIX inspection, triggering other types of Deep Packet
   Inspection, or identification of the packet source.  In, for example,
   a Performance Monitoring (PM) application, the agreed action could be
   the recording of the receipt of the packet by incrementing a packet
   counter.  This is a natural action in many MPLS implementations, and
   where supported this permits the implementation of high quality
   packet loss measurement without any change to the packet forwarding
   system.

   Consider an MPLS application such as a pseudowire (PW), and consider
   that it is desired to use the approach specified in this document to
   make a packet loss measurement.  By some method outside the scope of
   this text, two labels, synonymous with the PW labels are obtained
   from the egress terminating provider edge (T-PE).  By alternating
   between these SFLs and using them in place of the PW label, the PW
   packets may be batched for counting without any impact on the PW
   forwarding behaviour (note that strictly only one SFL is needed in
   this application, but that is an optimization that is a matter for
   the implementor).

   Now consider an MPLS application that is multi-point to point such as
   a VPN.  Here it is necessary to identify a packet batch from a
   specific source.  This is achieved by making the SFLs source
   specific, so that batches from one source are marked differently from
   batches from another source.  The sources all operate independently
   and asynchronously from each other, independently co-ordinating with
   the destination.  Each ingress is thus able to establish its own SFL
   to identify the sub-flow and thus enable PM per flow.

   Finally we need to consider the case where there is no MPLS
   application label such as occurs when sending IP over an LSP.  In
   this case introducing an SFL that was synonymous with the LSP label
   would introduce network wide forwarding state.  This would not be
   acceptable for scaling reasons.  We therefore have no choice but to
   introduce an additional label.  Where penultimate hop popping (PHP)
   is in use, the semantics of this additional label can be similar to
   the LSP label.  Where PHP is not in use, the semantics are similar to

Bryant, et al.           Expires August 2, 2018                 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft                   MPLS FI                    January 2018

   an MPLS explicit NULL.  In both of these cases the label has the
   additional semantics of the SFL.

   Note that to achieve the goals set out in Section 1 SFLs need to be
   allocated from the platform label table.

4.  User Service Traffic in the Data Plane

   As noted in Section 3 it is necessary to consider two cases:

   1.  Applications label present

   2.  Single label stack

4.1.  Applications Label Present

   Figure 1 shows the case in which both an LSP label and an application
   label are present in the MPLS label stack.  Traffic with no SFL
   function present runs over the "normal" stack, and SFL enabled flows
   run over the SFL stack with the SFL used to indicate the packet
   batch.

    +-----------------+          +-----------------+

   "Normal" Label Stack         Label Stack with SFL

    Figure 1: Use of Synonymous Labels In A Two Label MPLS Label Stack

   At the egress LSR the LSP label is popped (if present).  Then the SFL
   is processed in exactly the same way as the corresponding application
   label would have been processed.

4.1.1.  Setting TTL and the Traffic Class Bits

   The TTL and the Traffic Class bits [RFC5462] in the SFL LSE would
   normally be set to the same value as would have been set in the label
   that the SFL is synonymous with.  However it is recognised that there
   may be an applications need to set the SFL to some other value.  An
   example would be where it was desired to cause the SFL to trigger an
   action in the TTL expiry exception path as part of the label action.

4.2.  Single Label Stack

   Figure 2 shows the case in which only an LSP label is present in the
   MPLS label stack.  Traffic with no SFL function present runs over the
   "normal" stack and SFL enabled flows run over the SFL stack with the
   SFL used to indicate the packet batch.  However in this case it is
   necessary for the ingress LSR to first push the SFL and then to push
   the LSP label.

                                 |                 |

    |                 |          |                 |
    |   Payload       |          |   Payload       |
    |                 |          |                 |
    +-----------------+          +-----------------+

   "Normal" Label Stack         Label Stack with SFL

   Figure 2: Use of Synonymous Labels In A Single Label MPLS Label Stack

   At the receiving LSR it is necessary to consider two cases:

   1.  Where the LSP label is still present

   2.  Where the LSP label is penultimate hop popped

   If the LSP label is present, it processed exactly as it would
   normally processed and then it is popped.  This reveals the SFL which
   in the case of [RFC6374] measurements is simply counted and then
   discarded.  In this respect the processing of the SFL is synonymous

Bryant, et al.           Expires August 2, 2018                 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft                   MPLS FI                    January 2018

   with an Explicit NULL.  As the SFL is the bottom of stack, the IP
   packet that follows is processed as normal.

   If the LSP label is not present due to PHP action in the upstream
   LSR, two almost equivalent processing actions can take place.  Either
   the SFL can be treated as an LSP label that was not PHPed and the
   additional associated SFL action is taken when the label is
   processed.  Alternatively, it can be treated as an explicit NULL with
   associated SFL actions.  From the perspective of the measurement
   system described in this document the behaviour of two approaches are
   indistinguishable and thus either may be implemented.

4.2.1.  Setting TTL and the Traffic Class Bits

   The TTL and the Traffic Class considerations described in
   Section 4.1.1 apply.

4.3.  Aggregation of SFL Actions

   There are cases where it is desirable to aggregate an SFL action
   against a number of labels.  For example where it is desirable to
   have one counter record the number of packets received over a group
   of application labels, or where the number of labels used by a single
   application is large, and consequently the increase in the number of
   allocated labels needed to support the SFL actions consequently
   becomes too large to be viable.  In these circumstances it would be
   necessary to introduce an additional label in the stack to act as an
   aggregate instruction.  This is not strictly a synonymous action in
   that the SFL is not replacing a existing label, but is somewhat
   similar to the single label case shown in Section 4.2, and the same
   signalling, management and configuration tools would be applicable.

   "Normal" Label Stack         Label Stack with SFL

                      Figure 3: Aggregate SFL Actions

   The Aggregate SFL is shown in the label stack depicted in Figure 3 as
   preceding the application label, however the choice of position
   before, or after, the application label will be application specific.
   In the case described in Section 4.1, by definition the SFL has the
   full application context.  In this case the positioning will depend
   on whether the SFL action needs the full context of the application
   to perform its action and whether the complexity of the application
   will be increased by finding an SFL following the application label.

5.  Equal Cost Multipath Considerations

   The introduction to an SFL to an existing flow may cause that flow to
   take a different path through the network under conditions of Equal
   Cost Multipath (ECMP).  This is turn may invalidate the certain uses
   of the SFL such as performance measurement applications.  Where this
   is a problem there are two solutions worthy of consideration:

   1.  The operator can elect to always run with the SFL in place in the
       MPLS label stack.

   2.  The operator can elect to use [RFC6790] Entropy Labels in a
       network that fully supports this type of ECMP.  If this approach
       is adopted, the intervening MPLS network MUST NOT load balance on
       any packet field other than the entropy label.  Note that this is
       stricter than the text in Section 4.2 of [RFC6790].  In networks

Bryant, et al.           Expires August 2, 2018                 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft                   MPLS FI                    January 2018

       in which the ECMP decision is independent of both the value of
       any other label in the label stack, and the MPLS payload, the
       path of the flow with the SFL will be congruent with the path
       without the SFL.

6.  Privacy Considerations

   Recent IETF concerns on pervasive monitoring are described in
   [RFC7258].  The inclusion of originating and/or flow information in a
   packet provides more identity information and hence potentially
   degrades the privacy of the communication.  Whilst the inclusion of
   the additional granularity does allow greater insight into the flow
   characteristics it does not specifically identify which node
   originated the packet other than by inspection of the network at the
   point of ingress, or inspection of the control protocol packets.
   This privacy threat may be mitigated by encrypting the control
   protocol packets, regularly changing the synonymous labels and by
   concurrently using a number of such labels.  Minimizing the scope of
   the identity indication can be useful in minimizing the observability
   of the flow characteristics.

7.  Security Considerations

   The issue noted in Section 6 is a security consideration.  There are
   no other new security issues associated with the MPLS dataplane.  Any
   control protocol used to request SFLs will need to ensure the
   legitimacy of the request.

8.  IANA Considerations

   This draft makes no IANA requests.

11.  Acknowledgments

   A new routing protocol in its complexity is not a product of a parent
   but of a village as the author list shows already.  However, many
   more people provided input, fine-combed the specification based on
   their experience in design, implementation or application of
   protocols in IP fabrics.  This section will make an inadequate
   attempt in recording their contribution.

   Many thanks to Naiming Shen for some of the early discussions around
   the topic of using IGPs for routing in topologies related to Clos.
   Russ White to be especially acknowledged for the key conversation on
   epistemology that allowed to tie current asynchronous distributed
   systems theory results to a modern protocol design presented in this
   scope.  Adrian Farrel, Joel Halpern, Jeffrey Zhang, Krzysztof
   Szarkowicz, Nagendra Kumar, Melchior Aelmans, Kaushal Tank, Will
   Jones, Moin Ahmed, Sandy Zhang, Donald Eastlake provided thoughtful
   comments that improved the readability of the document and found good
   amount of corners where the light failed to shine.  Kris Price was
   first to mention single router, single arm default considerations.
   Jeff Tantsura helped out with some initial thoughts on BFD

Przygienda, et al.       Expires 3 October 2024               [Page 168]
Internet-Draft                    RIFT                        April 2024

   interactions while Jeff Haas corrected several misconceptions about
   BFD's finer points and helped to improve the security section around
   leaf considerations.  Artur Makutunowicz pointed out many possible
   improvements and acted as sounding board in regard to modern protocol
   implementation techniques RIFT is exploring.  Barak Gafni formalized
   first time clearly the problem of partitioned spine and fallen leaves
   on a (clean) napkin in Singapore that led to the very important part
   of the specification centered around multiple ToF planes and negative
   disaggregation.  Igor Gashinsky and others shared many thoughts on
   problems encountered in design and operation of large-scale data
   center fabrics.  Xu Benchong found a delicate error in the flooding
   procedures and a schema datatype size mismatch.

   Last but not least, Alvaro Retana, John Scudder and Andrew Alaton
   guided the undertaking as ADs by asking many necessary procedural and
   technical questions which did not only improve the content but did
   also lay out the track towards publication.
