  Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) in Segment Routing Networks
                          Using MPLS Dataplane
                       draft-mirsky-spring-bfd-08

Abstract

   Segment Routing (SR) architecture leverages the paradigm of source
   routing.  It can be realized in the Multiprotocol Label Switching
   (MPLS) network without any change to the data plane.  A segment is
   encoded as an MPLS label, and an ordered list of segments is encoded
   as a stack of labels.  Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is
   expected to monitor any existing path between systems.  This document
   defines how to use Label Switched Path Ping to bootstrap a BFD
   session, control path in reverse direction of the SR-MPLS tunnel and
   applicability of BFD Demand mode in the SR-MPLS domain.

1.  Introduction

   [RFC5880], [RFC5881], and [RFC5883] defined the operation of
   Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol between the two
   systems over IP networks.  [RFC5884] and [RFC7726] set rules for
   using BFD Asynchronous mode over point-to-point (p2p) Multiprotocol
   Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Path (LSP).  These latter
   standards implicitly assume that the remote BFD system, which is at
   the egress Label Edge Router (LER), will use the shortest path route

Internet-Draft             BFD in SPRING MPLS                August 2019

   regardless of the path the BFD system at the ingress LER uses to send
   BFD Control packets towards it.  Throughourt this document references
   to ingress LER and egrees LER are used, respectively, as shortened
   version of "BFD system at the ingress/egress LER".

   This document defines the use of LSP Ping for Segment Routing
   networks over MPLS data plane [RFC8287] to bootstrap and control path
   of a BFD session from the egress to ingress LER using Segment Routing
   tunnel with MPLS data plane (SR-MPLS).

   capitals, as shown here.

2.  Bootstrapping BFD Session over Segment Routed Tunnel with MPLS Data
    Plane

   Use of an LSP Ping to bootstrap BFD over MPLS LSP is required, as
   documented in [RFC5884], to establish an association between a fault
   detection message, i.e., BFD Control message, and the Forwarding

Mirsky, et al.          Expires February 3, 2020                [Page 3]
Internet-Draft             BFD in SPRING MPLS                August 2019

   Equivalency Class (FEC) of a single label stack LSP in case of
   Penultimate Hop Popping or when the egress LER distributes the
   Explicit NULL label to the penultimate hop router.  The Explicit NULL
   label is not advertised as a Segment Identifier (SID) by an SR node
   but, as demonstrated in section 3.1
   [I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-mpls] if the operation at the
   penultimate hop is NEXT; then the egress SR node will receive an IP
   encapsulated packet.  Thus the conclusion is that LSP Ping MUST be
   used to bootstrap a BFD session in SR-MPLS domain.

   As demonstrated in [RFC8287], the introduction of Segment Routing
   network domains with an MPLS data plane requires three new sub-TLVs
   that MAY be used with Target FEC TLV.  Section 6.1 addresses use of
   the new sub-TLVs in Target FEC TLV in LSP ping and LSP traceroute.
   For the case of LSP ping, the [RFC8287] states that:

      The initiator, i.e., ingress LER, MUST include FEC(s)
      corresponding to the destination segment.

      The initiator MAY include FECs corresponding to some or all of
      segments imposed in the label stack by the ingress LER to
      communicate the segments traversed.

   It has been noted in [RFC5884] that a BFD session monitors for
   defects particular <MPLS LSP, FEC> tuple.  [RFC7726] clarified how to
   establish and operate multiple BFD sessions for the same <MPLS LSP,
   FEC> tuple.  Because only the ingress LER is aware of the SR-based
   explicit route, the egress LER can associate the LSP ping with BFD
   Discriminator TLV with only one of the FECs it advertised for the
   particular segment.  Thus this document clarifies that:

      When LSP Ping is used to bootstrapping a BFD session for SR-MPLS
      tunnel the FEC corresponding to the segment to be associated with
      the BFD session MUST be as the very last sub-TLV in the Target FEC
      TLV.

   If the target segment is an anycast prefix segment
   ([I-D.ietf-spring-mpls-anycast-segments]) the corresponding Anycast
   SID MUST be included in the Target TLV as the very last sub-TLV.
   Also, for BFD Control packet the ingress SR node MUST use precisely
   the same label stack encapsulation, especially Entropy Label
   ([RFC6790]), as for the LSP ping with the BFD Discriminator TLV that
   bootstrapped the BFD session.  Other operational aspects of using BFD
   to monitor the continuity of the path to the particular Anycast SID,
   advertised by a group of SR-MPLS capable nodes, will be considered in
   the future versions of the document.

Internet-Draft             BFD in SPRING MPLS                August 2019

   Encapsulation of a BFD Control packet in Segment Routing network with
   MPLS data plane MUST follow Section 7 [RFC5884] when the IP/UDP
   header used and MUST follow Section 3.4 [RFC6428] without IP/UDP
   header being used.

3.  Use BFD Reverse Path TLV over Segment Routed MPLS Tunnel

   For BFD over MPLS LSP case, per [RFC5884], egress LER MAY send BFD
   Control packet to the ingress LER either over IP network or an MPLS
   LSP.  Similarly, for the case of BFD over p2p SR-MPLS tunnel, the
   egress LER MAY route BFD Control packet over the IP network, as
   described in [RFC5883], or transmit over a segment tunnel, as
   described in Section 7 [RFC5884].  In some cases, there may be a need
   to direct egress LER to use a specific path for the reverse direction
   of the BFD session by using the BFD Reverse Path TLV and following
   all procedures as defined in [I-D.ietf-mpls-bfd-directed].

4.  Use Non-FEC Path TLV

   For the case of MPLS data plane, Segment Routing Architecture
   [RFC8402] explains that "a segment is encoded as an MPLS label.  An
   ordered list of segments is encoded as a stack of labels."  YANG Data
   Model for MPLS Static LSPs [I-D.ietf-mpls-static-yang] models
   outgoing MPLS labels to be imposed as leaf-list [RFC6020], i.e., as
   array of rt-types:mpls-label [RFC8294].

   This document defines new optional Non-FEC Path TLV.  The format of
   the Non-FEC Path TLV is presented in Figure 1

                     Figure 1: Non-FEC Path TLV Format

   Non-FEC Path TLV Type is two octets in length and has a value of TBD1
   (to be assigned by IANA as requested in Section 8.1).

   Length field is two octets long and defines the length in octets of
   the Non-FEC Path field.

Internet-Draft             BFD in SPRING MPLS                August 2019

   Non-FEC Path field contains a sub-TLV.  Any Non-FEC Path sub-TLV
   (defined in this document or to be defined in the future) for Non-FEC
   Path TLV type MAY be used in this field.  None or one sub-TLV MAY be
   included in the Non-FEC Path TLV.  If no sub-TLV has been found in
   the Non-FEC Path TLV, the egress LER MUST revert to using the reverse
   path selected based on its local policy.  If there is more than one
   sub-TLV, then the Return Code in echo reply MUST be set to value TBD3
   "Too Many TLVs Detected" (to be assigned by IANA as requested in
   Table 4).

   Non-FEC Path TLV MAY be used to specify the reverse path of the BFD
   session identified in the BFD Discriminator TLV.  If the Non-FEC Path
   TLV is present in the echo request message the BFD Discriminator TLV
   MUST be present as well.  If the BFD Discriminator TLV is absent when
   the Non-FEC Path TLV is included, then it MUST be treated as
   malformed Echo Request, as described in [RFC8029].

   This document defines Static Routing MPLS Tunnel sub-TLV that MAY be
   used with the Non-FEC Path TLV.  The format of the sub-TLV is
   presented in Figure 2.

               Figure 2: Segment Routing MPLS Tunnel sub-TLV

   The Segment Routing MPLS Tunnel sub-TLV Type is two octets in length,
   and has a value of TBD2 (to be assigned by IANA as requested in
   Section 8.1).

   The egress LER MUST use the Value field as label stack for BFD
   Control packets for the BFD session identified by the source IP
   address of the MPLS LSP Ping packet and the value in the BFD
   Discriminator TLV.  Label Entries MUST be in network order.

Internet-Draft             BFD in SPRING MPLS                August 2019

   The Non-FEC Path TLV and Segment Routing MPLS Tunnel sub-TLV MAY be
   used in Reply Path TLV defined in [RFC7110], particularly to ensure
   end-to-end veryfication of multi-AS SR tunnel, as described in
   [I-D.ninan-spring-mpls-inter-as-oam].

5.  BFD Reverse Path TLV over Segment Routed MPLS Tunnel with Dynamic
    Control Plane

   When Segment Routed domain with MPLS data plane uses distributed
   tunnel computation BFD Reverse Path TLV MAY use Target FEC sub-TLVs
   defined in [RFC8287].

6.  Applicability of BFD Demand Mode in SR-MPLS Domain

   [I-D.mirsky-bfd-mpls-demand] defines how Demand mode of BFD,
   specified in sections 6.6 and 6.18.4 of [RFC5880], can be used to
   monitor uni-directional MPLS LSP.  Similar procedures can be
   following in SR-MPLS to monitor uni-directional SR tunnels:

   o  an ingress SR node bootstraps BFD session over SR-MPLS in Async
      BFD mode;

   o  once BFD session is Up, the ingress SR node switches the egress
      LER into the Demand mode by setting D field in BFD Control packet
      it transmits;

   o  if the egress LER detects the failure of the BFD session, it sends
      its BFD Control packet to the ingress SR node over the IP network
      with a Poll sequence;

   o  if the ingress SR node receives a BFD Control packet from the
      remote node in a Demand mode with Poll sequence and Diag field
      indicating the failure, the ingress SR node transmits BFD Control
      packet with Final over IP and switches the BFD over SR-MPLS back
      into Async mode, sending BFD Control packets one per second.

7.  Using BFD to Monitor Pont-to-Multipoint SR Policy

   [I-D.voyer-spring-sr-p2mp-policy] defined variants of SR Policy to
   deliver point-to-multipoint (p2mp) services.  For the given P2MP
   segment [RFC8562] can be used if, for example, leaves have an
   alternative source of the multicast service flow to select.  In such
   a scenario, a leaf may switch to using the alternative flow after
   p2mp BFD detects the failure in the working multicast path.  For
   scenarios where it is required for the root to monitor the state of
   the multicast tree [RFC8563] can be used.  The root may use the
   detection of the failure of the multicast tree to the particular leaf

Mirsky, et al.          Expires February 3, 2020                [Page 7]
Internet-Draft             BFD in SPRING MPLS                August 2019

   to restore the path for that leaf or re-instantiate the whole
   multicast tree.

   An essential part of using p2mp BFD is the bootstrapping the BFD
   session at all the leaves.  The root, acting as the MultipointHead,
   MAY use LSP Ping with the BFD Discriminator TLV.  Alternatively,
   extensions to routing protocols, e.g., BGP, or management plane,
   e.g., PCEP, MAY be used to associate the particular P2MP segment with
   MultipointHead's Discriminator.  Extensions for routing protocols and
   management plane are for further study.

8.  IANA Considerations

8.1.  Non-FEC Path TLV

   IANA is requested to assign new TLV type from the from Standards
   Action range of the registry "Multiprotocol Label Switching
   Architecture (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters -
   TLVs" as defined in Table 1.
