Abstract

   This document describes extensions to CR-LDP signaling required to
   support Generalized MPLS.  Generalized MPLS extends MPLS to encompass
   time-division (e.g. SONET ADMs), wavelength (optical lambdas) and
   spatial switching (e.g. incoming port or fiber to outgoing port or
   fiber).  This document presents a CR-LDP specific description of the
   extensions.  An RSVP-TE specific description can be found in [GMPLS-
   RSVP].  A generic functional description is presented in [GMPLS-SIG].

Changes from previous version:

o  Removed SONET/SDH specifics.
o  Added Acceptable Label Set


1. Introduction

   Generalized MPLS extends MPLS from supporting packet (PSC) interfaces
   and switching to include support of three new classes of interfaces
   and switching: Time-Division Multiplex (TDM), Lambda Switch (LSC) and
   Fiber-Switch (FSC).  A functional description of the extensions to
   MPLS signaling needed to support the new classes of interfaces and
   switching is provided in [GMPLS-SIG].  This document presents CR-LDP
   specific formats and mechanisms needed to support all four classes of
   interfaces.  RSVP-TE extensions can be found in [GMPLS-RSVP].

   [GMPLS-SIG] should be viewed as a companion document to this
   document.  The format of this document parallels [GMPLS-SIG].  It
   should be noted that the RSVP-TE specific version of Generalized MPLS
   includes RSVP specific support for rapid failure notification, see
   Section 4 [GMPLS-RSVP].  For CR-LDP there is not currently a similar
   mechanism.  When a failure is detected it will be propagated with
   RELEASE/WITHDRAW messages radially outward from the point of failure.
   Resources are to be released in this phase and actual resource
   information may be fed back to the source using a feedback
   mechanisms.

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].


2. Label Related Formats

   This section defines formats for a generalized label request, a
   generalized label, support for waveband switching, suggested label
   and label sets.


2.1. Generalized Label Request

   A REQUEST message SHOULD contain as specific an LSP Encoding Type as
   possible to allow the maximum flexibility in switching by transit
   LSRs.  A Generalized Label Request TLV is set by the ingress node,
   transparently passed by transit nodes, and used by the egress node.





Berger, Ashwood-Smith, editors                                  [Page 3]


Internet Draft  draft-ietf-mpls-generalized-cr-ldp-02.txt     April 2001


   The format of a Generalized Label Request is:

       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
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |U|F|          0x0901           |             Length            |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      | LSP Enc. Type |    Reserved   |             G-PID             |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

      See [GMPLS-SIG] for a description of parameters.


2.1.1. Procedures

   A node processing a REQUEST message containing a Generalized Label
   Request must verify that the requested parameters can be satisfied by
   the incoming interface, the node and by the outgoing interface.  The
   node may either directly support the LSP or it may use a tunnel (FA),
   i.e., another class of switching.  In either case, each parameter
   must be checked.

   Note that local node policy dictates when tunnels may be used and
   when they may be created.  Local policy may allow for tunnels to be
   dynamically established or may be solely administratively controlled.
   For more information on tunnels and processing of ER hops when using
   tunnels see [MPLS-HIERARCHY].

   Transit and egress nodes MUST verify that the node itself and, where
   appropriate, that the outgoing interface or tunnel can support the
   requested LSP Encoding Type.  If encoding cannot be supported, the
   node MUST generate a NOTIFICATION message, with a "Routing
   problem/Unsupported Encoding" indication.

   The G-PID parameter is normally only examined at the egress.  If the
   indicated G-PID cannot be supported then the egress MUST generate a
   NOTIFICATION message, with a "Routing problem/Unsupported GPID"
   indication.  In the case of PSC and when penultimate hop popping
   (PHP) is requested, the penultimate hop also examines the (stored) G-
   PID during the processing of the MAPPING message.  In this case if
   the G-PID is not supported, then the penultimate hop MUST generate a
   NOTIFICATION message with a "Routing problem/Unacceptable label
   value" indication.  The generated NOTIFICATION message MAY include an
   Acceptable Label Set, see Section 4.

   When an error message is not generated, normal processing occurs.  In
   the transit case this will typically result in a REQUEST message
   being propagated.  In the egress case and PHP special case this will



Berger, Ashwood-Smith, editors                                  [Page 4]


Internet Draft  draft-ietf-mpls-generalized-cr-ldp-02.txt     April 2001


   typically result in a MAPPING message being generated.


2.1.2. Bandwidth Encoding

   Bandwidth encodings are carried in the CR-LDP Traffic Parameters TLV.
   See [GMPLS-SIG] for a definition of values to be used for specific
   signal types.  These values are set in the Peak and Committed Data
   Rate fields of the Traffic Parameters TLV.  Other bandwidth/service
   related parameters in the TLV are ignored and carried transparently.


2.2. Generalized Label


   The format of a Generalized Label is:

       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
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |U|F|          0x0902           |      Length                   |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |                             Label                             |
      |                              ...                              |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

      See [GMPLS-SIG] for a description of parameters and encoding of
      labels.


2.2.1. Procedures

   The Generalized Label travels in the upstream direction in MAPPING
   messages.

   The presence of both a generalized and normal label TLV in a MAPPING
   message is a protocol error and should treated as a malformed message
   by the recipient.


   The recipient of a MAPPING message containing a Generalized Label
   verifies that the values passed are acceptable.  If the label is
   unacceptable then the recipient MUST generate a NOTIFICATION message
   with a "Routing problem/MPLS label allocation failure" indication.
   The generated NOTIFICATION message MAY include an Acceptable Label
   Set, see Section 4.





Berger, Ashwood-Smith, editors                                  [Page 5]


Internet Draft  draft-ietf-mpls-generalized-cr-ldp-02.txt     April 2001


2.3. Waveband Switching

   Waveband switching uses the same format as the generalized label, see
   section 2.2.  The type (0x0903) is assigned for the Waveband Label.

   In the context of waveband switching, the generalized label has the
   following format:

       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
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |U|F|          0x0903           |      Length                   |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |                          Waveband Id                          |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |                          Start Label                          |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |                           End Label                           |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

      See [GMPLS-SIG] for a description of parameters.


2.3.1. Procedures

   The procedures defined in Section 2.2.1 apply to waveband switching.
   This includes generating a NOTIFICATION message with a "Routing
   problem/MPLS label allocation failure" indication if any of the label
   fields are unrecognized or unacceptable.

   Additionally, when a waveband is switched to another waveband, it is
   possible that the wavelengths within the waveband will be mirrored
   about a center frequency.  When this type of switching is employed,
   the start and end label in the waveband label TLV MUST be flipped
   before forwarding the label TLV with the new waveband Id.  In this
   manner an egress/ingress LSR which receives a waveband label which
   has these values inverted, knows that it must also invert its egress
   association to pick up the proper wavelengths.  Without this
   mechanism and with an odd number of mirrored switching operations,
   the egress LSRs will not know that an input wavelength of say L1 will
   emerge from the waveband tunnel as L100.

   This operation MUST be performed in both directions when a
   bidirectional waveband tunnel is being established.

Internet Draft  draft-ietf-mpls-generalized-cr-ldp-02.txt     April 2001


2.4. Suggested Label

   The format of a suggested label is identical to a generalized label.
   It is used in REQUEST messages.  Suggested Label uses type = 0x904.

   Errors in received Suggested Labels MUST be ignored.  This includes
   any received inconsistent or unacceptable values.


2.5. Label Set


   The format of a Label_Set is:

       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
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |U|F|  type=0x0905              |      Length                   |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |            Reserved           |  Label Type   |    Action     |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |                          Subchannel 1                         |
      |                              ...                              |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      :                               :                               :
      :                               :                               :
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |                          Subchannel N                         |
      |                              ...                              |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

      Label Type: 8 bits

         Indicates the type and format of the labels carried in the TLV.
         Values match the TLV type of the appropriate Label TLV.

      See [GMPLS-SIG] for a description of other parameters.


2.5.1. Procedures

   A Label Set is defined via one or more Label_Set TLVs.  Specific
   labels/subchannels can be added to or excluded from a Label Set via
   Action zero (0) and one (1) TLVs respectively.  Ranges of
   labels/subchannels can be added to or excluded from a Label Set via
   Action two (2) and three (3) TLVs respectively.  When the Label_Set
   TLVs only list labels/subchannels to exclude, this implies that all
   other labels are acceptable.



Berger, Ashwood-Smith, editors                                  [Page 7]


Internet Draft  draft-ietf-mpls-generalized-cr-ldp-02.txt     April 2001


   The absence of any Label_Set TLVs implies that all labels are
   acceptable.  A Label Set is included when a node wishes to restrict
   the label(s) that may be used downstream.

   On reception of a REQUEST message, the receiving node will restrict
   its choice of labels to one which is in the Label Set.  Nodes capable
   of performing label conversion may also remove the Label Set prior to
   forwarding the REQUEST message.  If the node is unable to pick a
   label from the Label Set or if there is a problem parsing the
   Label_Set TLVs, then the request is terminated and a NOTIFICATION
   message with a "Routing problem/Label Set" indication MUST be
   generated. It is a local matter if the Label Set is stored for later
   selection on the MAPPING or if the selection is made immediately for
   propagation in the MAPPING.

   On reception of a REQUEST message, the Label Set represented in the
   message is compared against the set of available labels at the
   downstream interface and the resulting intersecting Label Set is
   forwarded in a REQUEST message.  When the resulting Label Set is
   empty, the REQUEST must be terminated, and a NOTIFICATION message,
   and a "Routing problem/Label Set" indication MUST be generated. Note
   that intersection is based on the physical labels (actual
   wavelength/band values) which may have different logical values on
   different links, as a result it is the responsibility of the node to
   map these values so that they have a consistent physical meaning, or
   to drop the particular values from the set if no suitable logical
   label value exists.

   When processing a MAPPING message at an intermediate node, the label
   propagated upstream MUST fall within the Label Set.

   Note, on reception of a MAPPING message a node that is incapable of
   performing label conversion has no other choice than to use the same
   physical label (wavelength/band) as received in the MAPPING message.
   In this case, the use and propagation of a Label Set will
   significantly reduce the chances that this allocation will fail.


3. Bidirectional LSPs

   Bidirectional LSP setup is indicated by the presence of an Upstream
   Label in the REQUEST message.   An Upstream Label has the same format
   as the generalized label, see Section 2.2.  Upstream Label uses
   type=0x0906







Berger, Ashwood-Smith, editors                                  [Page 8]


Internet Draft  draft-ietf-mpls-generalized-cr-ldp-02.txt     April 2001


3.1. Procedures

   The process of establishing a bidirectional LSP follows the
   establishment of a unidirectional LSP with some additions.  To
   support bidirectional LSPs an Upstream Label is added to the REQUEST
   message.  The Upstream Label MUST indicate a label that is valid for
   forwarding at the time the REQUEST message is sent.

   When a REQUEST message containing an Upstream Label is received, the
   receiver first verifies that the upstream label is acceptable.  If
   the label is not acceptable, the receiver MUST issue a NOTIFICATION
   message with a "Routing problem/Unacceptable label value" indication.
   The generated NOTIFICATION message MAY include an Acceptable Label
   Set, see Section 4.

   An intermediate node must also allocate a label on the outgoing
   interface and establish internal data paths before filling in an
   outgoing Upstream Label and propagating the REQUEST message.  If an
   intermediate node is unable to allocate a label or internal
   resources, then it MUST issue a NOTIFICATION message with a "Routing
   problem/Label allocation failure" indication.

   Terminator nodes process REQUEST messages as usual, with the
   exception that the upstream label can immediately be used to
   transport data traffic associated with the LSP upstream towards the
   initiator.

   When a bidirectional LSP is removed, both upstream and downstream
   labels are invalidated and it is no longer valid to send data using
   the associated labels.


4. Notification on Label Error

   This section defines the Acceptable_Label_Set TLV to support
   Notification on Label Error per [GMPLS-SIG].  An Acceptable_Label_Set
   TLV uses a type value of 0x0907.  The remaining contents of the TLV
   have the identical format as the Label_Set TLV, see Section 2.5.

   Acceptable_Label_Set TLVs may be carried in NOTIFICATION messages.
   The procedures for defining an Acceptable Label Set follow the
   procedures for defining a Label Set, see Section 2.5.1.
   Specifically, an Acceptable Label Set is defined via one or more
   Acceptable_Label_Set TLVs.  Specific labels/subchannels can be added
   to or excluded from an Acceptable Label Set via Action zero (0) and
   one (1) TLVs respectively.  Ranges of labels/subchannels can be added
   to or excluded from an Acceptable Label Set via Action two (2) and
   three (3) TLVs respectively.  When the Acceptable_Label_Set TLVs only



Berger, Ashwood-Smith, editors                                  [Page 9]


Internet Draft  draft-ietf-mpls-generalized-cr-ldp-02.txt     April 2001


   list labels/subchannels to exclude, this implies that all other
   labels are acceptable.

   The inclusion of Acceptable_Label_Set TLVs is optional.  If included,
   the NOTIFICATION message SHOULD contain a "Routing
   problem/Unacceptable label value" indication.  The absence of
   Acceptable_Label_Set TLVs does not have any specific meaning.


5. Explicit Label Control

   The Label ER-Hop is defined 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
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

5.1. Procedures

   The Label ER-Hop follows a ER-Hop containing the IP address, or the
   interface identifier [MPLS-UNNUM], associated with the link on which
   it is to be used.  The preceding ER-Hop must be strict.  Up to two
   label ER-Hops may be present, one for the downstream label and one
   for the upstream label.  The following SHOULD result in "Bad
   EXPLICIT_ROUTE" errors:
     -  If the first label ER-Hop is not preceded by a ER-Hop
        containing an IP address, or a interface identifier
        [MPLS-UNNUM], associated with an output link.
     -  For a label ER-Hop to follow a ER-Hop that has the L-bit
        set
     -  On unidirectional LSP setup, for there to be a label ER-Hop
        with the U-bit set
     -  For there to be two label ER-Hops with the same U-bit values

   To support the label ER-Hop, a node must check to see if the ER-Hop
   following it's associate address/interface is a label ER-Hop.  If it
   is, one ER-Hop is examined for unidirectional LSPs and two ER-Hops
   for bidirectional LSPs.  If the U-bit of the ER-Hop being examined is



Berger, Ashwood-Smith, editors                                 [Page 10]


Internet Draft  draft-ietf-mpls-generalized-cr-ldp-02.txt     April 2001


   clear (0), then value of the label is copied into a new Label_Set
   TLV.  This Label_Set TLV MUST be included on the corresponding
   outgoing MAPPING message.

   If the U-bit of the ER-Hop being examined is set (1), then value of
   the label is label to be used for upstream traffic associated with
   the bidirectional LSP.  If this label is not acceptable, a "Bad
   EXPLICIT_ROUTE" error SHOULD be generated.  If the label is
   acceptable, the label is copied into a new Upstream Label TLV.  This
   Upstream Label TLV MUST be included on the corresponding outgoing
   MAPPING message.

   After processing, the label ER-Hops are removed from the ER.

   Note an implication of the above procedures is that the label ER-Hop
   should never be the first ER-Hop in a newly received message.  If the
   label ER-Hop is the the first ER-Hop an a received ER, then it SHOULD
   be treated as a "Bad strict node" error.

   Procedures by which an LSR at the head-end of an LSP obtains the
   information needed to construct the Label ER-Hop are outside the
   scope of this document.


6. Protection TLV

   The use of the Protection TLV is optional.  The TLV is included to
   indicate specific protection attributes of an LSP.

   The format of Protection Information TLV is:

       0                   1                   2                   3

6.1. Procedures

   Transit nodes processing a REQUEST message containing a Protection
   TLV MUST verify that the requested protection can be satisfied by the
   outgoing interface or tunnel (FA).  If it cannot, the node MUST
   generate a NOTIFICATION message, with a "Routing problem/Unsupported
   Link Protection" indication.
