Abstract

   This document defines BGP protocol extensions for encoding and
   carrying SRv6+ Per-Path Service Instruction information to support
   Virtual Private Network services.  This is applicable when the VPN
   services are offered in a SRv6+ enabled IPv6 network such that the
   VPN payload is transported over IPv6.  The Per-Path Service
   Instruction information is encoded in the IPv6 Destination Option
   Header in the IPv6 data packets.

1.  Introduction

   Virtual Private Network (VPN) technologies allow network providers to
   emulate private networks with shared infrastructure.  For example,
   assume that a set of red sites, set of blue sites and a set of green
   sites connect to a provider network.  Furthermore, assume that red
   sites and blue sites wish to interconnect, exchange packets.
   However, the green sites wish to communicate with green sites only.
   The provider should allow its infrastructure network to scale to both
   the requirements without having to create multiple parallel network
   infrastructures.  The IETF has standardized many VPN technologies
   viz. Layer 3 VPN (L3VPN) [RFC4364], Layer 2 VPN (L2VPN) [RFC6624],
   Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) [RFC4761], [RFC4762], Ethernet VPN
   (EVPN) [RFC7432], Pseudowires [RFC8077] to enable Layer 3 and Layer 2
   VPN services.

   The aforementioned technologies leverage MPLS network architecture :

   o  to establish a MPLS tunnel from ingress PE to egress PE, thus
      making all P routers agnostic of VPN state.

   o  to provide demultiplexing abstraction in the tunnelled packet so
      the payload packet can be forwarded at the egress router based on
      Routing table and/or interface.

   In pure IPv6 deployments where there may be non-MPLS capable routers,
   it would be desirable to have alternate mechanism to provide VPN
   connectivity.  This document describes BGP extensions and procedures
   applicable for SRv6+ enabled IPv6 networks, to provide VPN services
   over BGP.

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.  Per-Path Service Instruction Information

   A SRv6+ [I-D.bonica-spring-srv6-plus] segment provides unidirectional
   connectivity from an ingress node to an egress node.  A SRv6+ path
   contains one or more such segments.  SRv6+ introduces the concept of
   Per-Segment Service Instruction and Per-Path Service Instruction.
   These instructions describe the additional packet processing
   performed on a node.  The Per-Segment Service Instruction is executed
   on the segment egress node while the Per-Path Service Instruction is
   executed on the path egress node.  The SR Path egress node advertises
   the reachability information to SR Path ingress node via Multi
   Protocol extensions in BGP [RFC4760].

   For providing VPN services, aforementioned BGP extensions rely on
   MPLS architecture [RFC3031].  The BGP extensions specify the new
   encoding for Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) to include
   the MPLS VPN labels [RFC8277].  Such a MPLS VPN label is associated
   with a forwarding decision in the VPN Routing Instance on the egress
   BGP Router.  The ingress BGP router will push the VPN label on the
   data packet destined to the egress BGP router.  The transport tunnel
   from ingress router to egress router can be MPLS or GRE or L2TPv3,
   but inner payload is a MPLS packet as described in [RFC4023],
   [RFC4817], [RFC7510].  The intermediate routers do not process the
   VPN label [a.k.a.] embedded label as described in
   [I-D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps].

Internet-DrafBGP based VPN Services over SRv6+ enabled IPv6    July 2019

   To provide BGP based VPN services on a non-MPLS IPv6 networks, it
   would be beneficial to retain the benefits of BGP protocol extensions
   while leveraging the benefits of IPv6 [RFC8200].
   [I-D.bonica-6man-vpn-dest-opt] describes SRv6+ paths as programmable
   with Per-Path Service Instructions (PPSI) that determine how egress
   nodes process SRv6+ payloads.  The PPSIs are carried in the PPSI
   Option encoded in the IPv6 Destination Option Header [RFC8200].

   The Per-Path Service Instruction (PPSI) Identifier is defined as
   follows:

   o  32 bit quantity.

   The PPSI Identifier have node-local significance and is assigned by
   the egress BGP router.  The value of zero is reserved.  The PPSI
   Identifier will serve 2 purposes.

   o  It MUST uniquely identify the VPN Routing Instance upon which
      forwarding decision can be taken.

   o  It MAY provide information for special processing before the
      packet is forwarded.

   The structure of 3 octet PPSI Identifier will be updated in the next
   version of this document.

   The encoding of the Per-Path Service Instruction Identifier for VPNs
   is described in Section 7 and Section 8.

4.  Usage of Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute

   This document defines a new Tunnel type : SRv6+. The format is as per
   below.

   o  Tunnel Type (2 Octets) : To be assigned

   o  Tunnel Length (2 Octets) : 1

   o  Value : List of Sub-TLVs

   [I-D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps] defines many sub-TLVs for the tunnels.
   The encoding for them are as follows:

   o  Remote Endpoint sub-TLV : As per [I-D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps]

   o  Encapsulation sub-TLV : Not needed.

   o  IPv4 DS Field sub-TLV : Not needed.

Sangli & Bonica          Expires January 6, 2020                [Page 4]
Internet-DrafBGP based VPN Services over SRv6+ enabled IPv6    July 2019

   o  UDP Destination Port sub-TLV : Not needed.

   o  Protocol type sub-TLV : As per [I-D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps].

   o  Color Sub-TLV : As per [I-D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps].

   o  Embedded Label Handling sub-TLV : 2.

   o  MPLS Label Stack Sub-TLV : Not needed.

   o  Prefix SID Sub-TLV : Not Needed.

   The Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute is a an Optional Transitive
   attribute as described in [I-D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps].  This
   attribute with SRv6+ tunnel type MUST be present in the BGP update
   carrying the Network Layer Reachability Information encoded with the
   PPSI Information.  This document refers to the NLRI that is
   associated with SRv6+ Tunnel Encapsulation attribute as SRv6+_NLRI.
   The document [I.D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps-12] defines the encoding for
   sub-TLV as follows.

   o  Sub-TLV Type : 1 octet

   o  Sub-TLV Length : 1 or 2 octets

   o  Sub-TLV Value : defined per Sub-TLV as per below.

   The Remote Endpoint sub-TLV can specify the IPv6 address of the
   egress router as the final destination address of SRv6+ packet which
   is also referred to as SR Path destination address.  The sub-fields
   on this sub-TLV is encoded as below.

   o  Autonomous System Number : AS number of the IPv6 SR domain.

   o  Address Family : 2 (refers to IPv6).

   o  Address : IPv6 address of the egress interface present in SRv6+
      domain.

   The Value field may be set to 0 which indicates that next hop value
   in the NLRI should be chosen for the SRv6+ Path destination address.

   The Embedded Label Handling sub-TLV describes how the label field in
   the NLRI should be interpreted.

   o  Value : MUST be set to 2.

Sangli & Bonica          Expires January 6, 2020                [Page 5]
Internet-DrafBGP based VPN Services over SRv6+ enabled IPv6    July 2019

   The value of 2 indicates that the label field in the NLRI MUST be
   ignored at the ingress router.

5.  Procedures for Egress BGP Speaker

   The PPSI Information instructs the egress router to de-encapsulate
   the packet and forward the newly exposed payload inner packet through
   the specified interface or forward using the specified Routing
   Instance.  The PPSI Identifier described in Section 3 will be
   assigned by the egress BGP Router.

   When the egress BGP Speaker advertises the NLRI, it will include the
   PPSI Information in the encoding described in Section 7 and
   Section 8.  The egress BGP Speaker MUST include the Tunnel
   Encapsulation Attribute with Route type SRv6+ as described in
   Section 4 in such BGP updates.

   By tagging the BGP update with Tunnel Encapsulation attribute of
   SRv6+ type, the BGP Speaker informs how the SRv6+_NLRI should be
   decoded and processed by the receiving BGP Speaker.

   Via the Remote Tunnel Endpoint Sub-TLV encoding, the egress BGP
   router may specify the SRv6+ Path Destination Address.  The Protocol
   type Sub-TLV and the Color Sub-TLV may be used by the egress BGP
   router to influence the payload packets to be put on SRv6+ path.  The
   Embedded Label Handling Sub-TLV MUST be set to 2 to inform that the
   MPLS label field should be ignored.

   A single PPSI Identifier may be associated with all the prefixes in a
   Routing Instance or a unique PPSI Identifier may be associated for
   each prefix in the Routing Instance.  The choice is left to the
   Network Operator and is outside the scope of this document.

6.  Procedures for Ingress BGP Speaker

   Upon receiving a BGP update, the receiving BGP Speaker will look for
   Tunnel Encapsulation attribute.  If the tunnel type carried in the
   Tunnel Encapsulation attribute is SRv6+, the BGP updates is said to
   be carrying the SRv6+_NLRI and the Label field in the Network Layer
   Reachability Information is treated as Per-Path Service Instruction
   (PPSI) Identifier.

   The tuple (PPSI Identifier, Prefix) is programmed in the forwarding
   infrastructure of the router.  The manner in which this tuple is
   stored in the router is outside the scope of this document.  If SRv6+
   has been enabled on the router, such a tuple SHOULD be used for
   encoding the Destination Options Header as described in
   [I-D.bonica-6man-vpn-dest-opt].

Internet-DrafBGP based VPN Services over SRv6+ enabled IPv6    July 2019

   [I.D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps-12] describes how Remote Tunnel Endpoint
   Sub-TLV has to be processed.  It also describes the usage of the
   Protocol type Sub-TLV and the Color Sub-TLV.  This may be used by the
   ingress BGP router to select the payload packets that should be put
   on SRv6+ path.

   The Embedded Label Handling Sub-TLV value that is set to 2 indicates
   that ingress BGP router to ignore the MPLS label field.

7.  BGP based L3 VPN services over IPv6

   The Egress and Ingress BGP speakers form a BGP peering session to
   exchange a set of prefixes described in [RFC4271] and Multi protocol
   extensions [RFC4760].  The BGP Router capable of SRv6+ that is
   enabled to carry L3 VPN services over IPv6 networks should follow the
   procedures mentioned in Section 5 and Section 6.  The manner in which
   a BGP Router is configured for SRv6+ underlay and L3 VPN overlay is
   outside the scope of this document.

7.1.  IPv4 VPN on SRv6+ enabled IPv6 Core

   The IPv4 L3 VPN over IPv6 is defined in [RFC5549].  The MP_REACH NLRI
   and Tunnel Encapsulation attribute encoding is as per below:

   o  AFI : 1; SAFI : 128

   o  Length of the Next Hop : 16 (or 32 if Link Local)

   o  Network address of the Next Hop : IPv6 address of the egress BGP
      Router

   o  NLRI : IPv4-VPN routes

   o  Label : Per-Path Service Instruction Identifier

   o  Tunnel Encapsulation Path Attribute : SRv6+ Type as described in
      Section 4

   The PPSI Identifier is associated with VPN Routing Instance on the
   Egress PE.  The Tunnel Encapsulation attribute with SRv6+ type MUST
   be appended to the Path attributes associated with the NLRI.

7.2.  IPv6 VPN on SRv6+ enabled IPv6 Core

   The IPv6 L3 VPN over IPv6 is defined in [RFC4659].  The MP_REACH NLRI
   and Tunnel Encapsulation attribute encoding is as per below:

   o  AFI : 2; SAFI : 128

Sangli & Bonica          Expires January 6, 2020                [Page 7]
Internet-DrafBGP based VPN Services over SRv6+ enabled IPv6    July 2019

   o  Length of the Next Hop : 16 (or 32 if Link Local)

   o  Network address of the Next Hop : IPv6 address of the egress BGP
      Router

   o  NLRI : IPv6-VPN routes

   o  Label : Per-Path Service Instruction Identifier

   o  Tunnel Encapsulation Path Attribute : SRv6+ Type as described in
      Section 4

   The PPSI Identifier is associated with VPN Routing Instance on the
   Egress PE.  The Tunnel Encapsulation attribute with SRv6+ type MUST
   be appended to the Path attribute associated with the NLRI.

7.3.  IPv4 Global Routes on SRv6+ enabled IPv6 Core

   The IPv4 L3 VPN over IPv6 is defined in [RFC5549].  The MP_REACH NLRI
   and Tunnel Encapsulation attribute encoding is per below:

   o  AFI : 1; SAFI : 1

   o  Length of the Next Hop : 16 (or 32 if Link Local)

   o  Network address of the Next Hop : IPv6 address of the egress BGP
      Router

   o  NLRI : IPv4 routes

   o  Label : Per-Path Service Instruction Identifier

   o  Tunnel Encapsulation Path Attribute : SRv6+ Type as described in
      Section 4

   The PPSI Identifier is associated with VPN Routing Instance on the
   Egress PE.  The Tunnel Encapsulation attribute with SRv6+ type MUST
   be appended to the Path attribute associated with the NLRI.

8.  BGP based Ethernet VPN services over IPv6

   The [RFC7432] describes the BGP extensions for carrying the Ethernet
   Virtual Private Network Overlay on MPLS network.  It defines 4 types
   of EVPN NLRI.  This document specifies changes to certain fields for
   those NLRIs.

   o  Ethernet Auto-Discovery (A-D) route

Sangli & Bonica          Expires January 6, 2020                [Page 8]
Internet-DrafBGP based VPN Services over SRv6+ enabled IPv6    July 2019

   o  MAC/IP Advertisement route

   o  Inclusive Multicast Ethernet Tag route

   o  Ethernet Segment route

8.1.  Ethernet Auto-Discovery (A-D) route

   The MP_REACH and MP_UNREACH attributes will carry this route in the
   NLRI encoding described in [RFC7432].  In addition to Tunnel
   Encapsulation attribute encoding, this document recommends to follow
   the [RFC4732] encoding except the following.

   o  MPLS label : Per-Path Service Instruction Identifier

   o  Tunnel Encapsulation Path Attribute : SRv6+ Type as described in
      Section 4

   The MPLS label field is not part of the route but treated as route
   attribute.  For procedures and usage of this route, refer to
   [RFC7432].  The Tunnel Encapsulation attribute with SRv6+ type MUST
   be appended to the Path attribute associated with the NLRI.

8.2.  MAC/IP Advertisement route

   The MP_REACH and MP_UNREACH attributes will carry this route in the
   NLRI encoding described in [RFC7432].  In addition to Tunnel
   Encapsulation attribute encoding, this document recommends to follow
   the [RFC4732] encoding except the following.

   o  MPLS label1 : Per-Path Service Instruction Identifier1

   o  MPLS label2 : Per-Path Service Instruction Identifier2

   o  Tunnel Encapsulation Path Attribute : SRv6+ Type as described in
      Section 4

   The MPLS label field is not part of the route but treated as route
   attribute.  For procedures and usage of this route, refer to
   [RFC7432].  The Tunnel Encapsulation attribute with SRv6+ type MUST
   be appended to the Path attribute associated with the NLRI.

9.  Deployment Considerations

   This document proposes to reuse the NLRI encoding for BGP L3VPN and
   EVPN Network Layer Routing Information.  However, care should be
   taken when BGP VPN overlay services are enabled on SRv6+ underlay
   such that Tunnel Encapsulation Path attribute with SRv6+ type MUST be

Sangli & Bonica          Expires January 6, 2020                [Page 9]
Internet-DrafBGP based VPN Services over SRv6+ enabled IPv6    July 2019

   appended.  When a BGP router advertises SRv6+_NLRI, it MUST not
   remove the Tunnel Encapsulation Path attribute.

   The SRv6+ underlay is similar to other "tunnel" technologies viz
   MPLS, GRE, IP-in-IP, L2TPv3.  The egress and ingress BGP routers can
   be connected via one or more such underlay technologies.  A BGP
   speaker can advertise the VPN NLRI with the nexthop reachable via one
   or more such underlay paths.  Each such mechanism can co-exist
   together as ships-in-night.  However, when SRv6+_NLRI is advertised
   by a egress BGP speaker and received by an ingress BGP speaker, they
   MUST follow the procedures mentioned in this document.

   For migrating a BGP router to SRv6+ the following procedures can be
   followed.

   o  Operator will enable SRv6+ underlay on the ingress and egress
      routers identifying the SRv6+ path from ingress router's interface
      to egress router's interface.  The way to configure the ingress
      and egress routers are outside the scope of this document.

   o  SRv6+ enabled ingress BGP router will setup the additional
      information in the forwarding table such that it can append an
      IPv6 tunnel header and encode the PPSI Option in the Destination
      Options Header.

   o  SRv6+ enabled egress BGP router will setup the additional
      information in the forwarding table such that PPSI Identifier can
      be used to lookup to find the Routing Instance and make the
      forwarding decision.

   o  Operator will enable BGP VPN overlay over SRv6+ underlay on
      ingress router.  This means that ingress router will start looking
      for SRv6+_NLRI in the BGP updates.  The way to enable the BGP VPN
      overlay over SRv6+ underlay is outside the scope of this document.

   o  The operator will enable BGP VPN overlay over SRv6+ underlay on
      egress router.  With this, the egress router will create PPSI
      Identifier and associate it with Routing Instances.  It then
      advertises the SRv6+_NLRIs to the ingress BGP router.

   o  The ingress router will interpret the SRv6+_NLRIs and use PPSI
      identifier and follow the procedures in [I.D.  bonica-spring-srv6-
      plus-00.txt] to encode the Destination Options Header to forward
      the data packet.

   o  Now that SRv6+ path is setup between ingress and egress BGP
      routers, on the egress BGP router the Operator can migrate the
      Routing Instances from MPLS VPN set of Instances to SRv6+ enabled

Internet-DrafBGP based VPN Services over SRv6+ enabled IPv6    July 2019

      set of Instances.  The way to configure Routing Instances to
      achieve the above is outside the scope of this document.

10.  Backward Compatibility

   The extension proposed in this document is backward compatible with
   procedures described for BGP enabled services.

11.  Security Considerations

   This document does not introduce any new security considerations
   beyond those already specified in [RFC4271], [RFC8277] and [I.D.ietf-
   idr-tunnel-encaps-12].

12.  IANA Considerations

   IANA is requested to assign a code point for SRv6+ Route Type for BGP
   Tunnel Encapsulation Path Attribute from BGP Tunnel Encapsulation
   Attribute Tunnel Types Registry.
