Label Switched Path (LSP) Ping/Trace for Segment Routing Networks Using
MPLS Dataplane
draft-kumarkini-mpls-spring-lsp-ping-02
Abstract
Segment Routing architecture leverages the source routing and
tunneling paradigms and can be directly applied to MPLS data plane.
A node steers a packet through a controlled set of instructions
called segments, by prepending the packet with Segment Routing
header.
The segment assignment and forwarding semantic nature of Segment
Routing raises additional consideration for connectivity verification
and fault isolation in LSP with Segment Routing architecture. This
document illustrates the problem and describe a mechanism to perform
LSP Ping and Traceroute on Segment Routing network over MPLS data
plane.

Internet-Draft LSP Ping/Trace for SR on MPLS October 2014
1. Introduction
[I-D.filsfils-spring-segment-routing] introduces and explains Segment
Routing architecture that leverages the source routing and tunneling
paradigms. A node steers a packet through a controlled set of
instructions called segments, by prepending the packet with Segment
Routing header. A detailed definition about Segment Routing
architecture is available in [I-D.filsfils-spring-segment-routing]
and different use-cases are discussed in
[I-D.filsfils-spring-segment-routing-use-cases]
The Segment Routing architecture can be directly applied to MPLS data
plane in a way that, the Segment identifier (Segment ID) will be of
20-bits size and SR header is the label stack.
Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) has defined in [RFC4379] a
simple and efficient mechanism to detect data plane failures in Label
Switched Paths (LSP) by specifying information to be carried in an
MPLS "echo request" and "echo reply" for the purposes of fault
detection and isolation, and mechanisms for reliably sending the echo
reply. The functionality is modeled after the ping/traceroute
paradigm (ICMP echo request [RFC0792]) and is typically referred to
as LSP ping and LSP traceroute.
Unlike LDP or RSVP which are the other well-known MPLS control plane
protocols, segment assignment in Segment Routing architecture is not
hop-by-hop basis.
This nature of Segment Routing raises additional consideration for
fault detection and isolation in Segment Routing network. This
document illustrates the problem and describe a mechanism to perform
LSP Ping and Traceroute on Segment Routing network over MPLS data
plane.
2. Requirements notation
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].
3. Challenges with Existing mechanism
This document defines Target FEC Stack sub-TLVs and explains how they
can be used to tackle below challenges.
Kumar, et al. Expires April 30, 2015 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft LSP Ping/Trace for SR on MPLS October 2014
3.1. Path validation in Segment Routing networks
[RFC4379] defines the OAM machinery that helps with fault detection
and isolation in MPLS dataplane path with the use of various Target
FEC Stack Sub-TLV that are carried in MPLS Echo Request packets and
used by the responder for FEC validation. While it is obvious that
new Sub-TLVs need to be assigned, the unique nature of Segment
Routing architecture raises a need for additional machinery for path
validation. This section discuss the challenges as below:
L1
+--------+
| L2 |
R3-------R6
/ \
/ \
R1----R2 R7----R8
\ / L3
\ /
R4-------R5
Figure 1: Segment Routing network
{5001, 5002, 5003, 5004, 5005, 5006, 5007, 5008} --> Node Segment ID for R1, R2, R3 R4, R5 R6, R7, R8 respectively.
9136 --> Adjacency Segment ID from R3 to R6 over link L1.
9236 --> Adjacency Segment ID from R3 to R6 over link L2.
The forwarding semantic of Adjacency Segment ID is to pop the segment
ID and send the packet to a specific neighbor over a specific link.
A malfunctioning node may forward packets using Adjacency Segment ID
to incorrect neighbor or over incorrect link. Exposed segment ID
(after incorrectly forwarded Adjacency Segment ID) might still allow
such packet to reach the intended destination, although the intended
strict traversal has been broken.
Assume in above topology, R1 sends traffic with segment stack as
{9124, 5007, 9378} so that the path taken will be R1-R2-R4-R5-R7-R8.
If the Adjacency Segment ID 9124 is misprogrammed in R2 to send the
packet to R1 or R3, it will still be delivered to R8 but is not via
the expected path.
MPLS traceroute may help with detecting such deviation in above
mentioned scenario. However, in a different example, it may not be
helpful if R3, due to misprogramming, forwards packet with Adjacency

Internet-Draft LSP Ping/Trace for SR on MPLS October 2014
Segment ID 9236 via link L1 while it is expected to be forwarded over
Link L2.
3.2. Service Label
A Segment ID can represent a service based instruction. An SR header
can have label stack entries where the label represents a service to
be applied along the path. Since these labels are part of the label
stack, they can influence the path taken by a packet and consequently
have implications on MPLS OAM. This document describes how the
procedures of [RFC4379] can be applied to in the absence of service-
labels in Section 6.5. Additional considerations for service labels
are included in Section 7 and requires further discussion.
4. Segment ID sub-TLV
The format of the following Segment ID sub-TLVs follows the
philosophy of Target FEC Stack TLV carrying FECs corresponding to
each label in the label stack. When operated with the procedures
defined in [RFC4379], this allows LSP ping/traceroute operations to
function when Target FEC Stack TLV contains more FECs than received
label stack at responder nodes.
Three new sub-TLVs are defined for TLVs type 1, 16 and 21.

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Local Interface ID
An identifier that is assigned by local LSR for a link on which
Adjacency Segment ID is bound. This field is set to local link
address (IPv4 or IPv6). Incase of unnumbered, 32 bit link
identifier defined in [RFC4203], [RFC5307] is used. If the
Adjacency Segment ID represents parallel adjacencies
(Section 3.5.1 of [I-D.filsfils-spring-segment-routing]) this
field MUST be set to zero.
Remote Interface ID
An identifier that is assigned by remote LSR for a link on which
Adjacency Segment ID is bound. This field is set to remote
(downstream neighbor) link address (IPv4 or IPv6). In case of
unnumbered, 32 bit link identifier defined in [RFC4203], [RFC5307]
is used. If the Adjacency Segment ID represents parallel
adjacencies (Section 3.5.1 of
[I-D.filsfils-spring-segment-routing]) this field MUST be set to
zero.
Protocol
Set to 1 if the IGP protocol is OSPF and 2 if IGP protocol is ISIS
Adj. Type

Specifies the advertising node identifier. When Protocol is set
to 1, then the 32 rightmost bits represent OSPF Router ID and if
protocol is set to 2, this field carries 48 bit ISIS System ID.
5. Extension to Downstream Mapping TLV
In an echo reply, the Downstream Mapping TLV [RFC4379] is used to
report for each interface over which a FEC could be forwarded. For a
FEC, there are multiple protocols that may be used to distribute
label mapping. The "Protocol" field of the Downstream Mapping TLV is
used to return the protocol that is used to distribute a specific a
label. The following protocols are defined in section 3.2 of
[RFC4379]:
Protocol # Signaling Protocol
---------- ------------------
0 Unknown
1 Static
2 BGP
3 LDP
4 RSVP-TE
With segment routing, OSPF or ISIS can be used for label
distribution, this document adds two new protocols as follows:
Protocol # Signaling Protocol
---------- ------------------
5 OSPF
6 ISIS
6. Procedures
This section describes aspects of LSP Ping and traceroute operations
that require further considerations beyond [RFC4379].
6.1. FECs in Target FEC Stack TLV
When LSP echo request packets are generated by an initiator, FECs
carried in Target FEC Stack TLV may need to or desire to have
deviating contents. This document outlines expected Target FEC Stack
TLV construction mechanics by initiator for known scenarios.
Ping
Initiator MUST include FEC(s) corresponding to the destination
segment.
Kumar, et al. Expires April 30, 2015 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft LSP Ping/Trace for SR on MPLS October 2014
Initiator MAY include FECs corresponding to some or all of
segments imposed in the label stack by the initiator to
communicate the segments traversed.
Traceroute
Initiator MUST initially include FECs corresponding to all of
segments imposed in the label stack.
When a received echo reply contains FEC Stack Change TLV with
one or more of original segment(s) being popped, initiator MAY
remove corresponding FEC(s) from Target FEC Stack TLV in the
next (TTL+1) traceroute request.
When a received echo reply does not contain FEC Stack Change
TLV, initiator MUST NOT attempt to remove FEC(s) from Target
FEC Stack TLV in the next (TTL+1) traceroute request. Note
that Downstream Label field of DSMAP/DDMAP contains hints on
how initiator may be able to update the contents of next Target
FEC Stack TLV. However, such hints are ambiguous without full
understanding of PHP capabilities.
6.2. FEC Stack Change sub-TLV
Section 3.3.1.3 of [RFC6424] defines a new sub-TLV that a router must
include when the FEC stack changes.
The network node which advertised the Node Segment ID is responsible
for generating FEC Stack Change sub-TLV of &pop& operation for Node
Segment ID, regardless of if PHP is enabled or not.
The network node that is immediate downstream of the node which
advertised the Adjacency Segment ID is responsible for generating FEC
Stack Change sub-TLV of &pop& operation for Adjacency Segment ID.
6.3. Segment ID POP Operation
The forwarding semantic of Node Segment ID with PHP flag is
equivalent to usage of implicit Null in MPLS protocols. Adjacency
Segment ID is also similar in a sense that it can be thought as next
hop destined locally allocated segment that has PHP enabled.
Procedures described in Section 4.4 of [RFC4379] relies on Stack-D
and Stack-R explicitly having Implicit Null value. It may simplify
implementations to reuse Implicit Null for Node Segment ID PHP and
Adjacency Segment ID cases. However, it is technically incorrect for
Implicit Null value to externally appear. Therefore, implicit Null
MUST NOT be placed in Stack-D and Interface and Label Stack TLV for
Node Segment ID PHP and Adjacency Segment ID cases.
Kumar, et al. Expires April 30, 2015 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft LSP Ping/Trace for SR on MPLS October 2014
6.4. Segment ID Check
If the Target FEC Stack Sub-TLV at FEC-stack-depth is TBD1 (IPv4
Prefix Node Segment ID), the responder SHOULD set Best return code
to (error code TBD) if any below conditions fail:
* Validate that Node Segment ID is advertised for IPv4 Prefix.
* Validate that Node Segment ID is advertisement of PHP bit.
* To be Updated
If the Target FEC Sub-TLV at FEC-stack-depth is TBD2 (IPv6 Prefix
Node Segment ID), set Best return code to (error code TBD) if any
below conditions fail:
* Validate that Node Segment ID is advertised for IPv6 Prefix.
* Validate that Node Segment ID is advertised of PHP bit.
* To be Updated
If the Target FEC sub-TLV at FEC-stack-depth is TBD3 (Adjacency
Segment ID), set Best return code to (error code TBD) if any below
conditions fail:
* Validate that Remote Interface ID matches the local identifier
of the interface on which the packet was received.
* Validate that IGP Adjacency Segment ID is advertised by
Advertising Node Identifier of Protocol in local IGP database.
6.5. TTL Consideration for traceroute
LSP Traceroute operation can properly traverse every hop of Segment
Routing network in Uniform Model described in [RFC3443]. If one or
more LSRs employ Short Pipe Model described in [RFC3443], then LSP
Traceroute may not be able to properly traverse every hop of Segment
Routing network due to absence of TTL copy operation when outer label
is popped. In such scenario, following TTL manipulation technique
MAY be used.
When tracing a LSP according to the procedures in [RFC4379] the TTL
is incremented by one in order to trace the path sequentially along
the LSP. However when a source routed LSP has to be traced there are
as many TTLs as there are labels in the stack. The LSR that
initiates the traceroute SHOULD start by setting the TTL to 1 for the
tunnel in the LSP's label stack it wants to start the tracing from,
Kumar, et al. Expires April 30, 2015 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft LSP Ping/Trace for SR on MPLS October 2014
the TTL of all outer labels in the stack to the max value, and the
TTL of all the inner labels in the stack to zero. Thus a typical
start to the traceroute would have a TTL of 1 for the outermost label
and all the inner labels would have TTL 0. If the FEC Stack TLV is
included it should contain only those for the inner stacked tunnels.
The lack of an echo response or the Return Code/Subcode should be
used to diagnose the tunnel as described in [RFC4379]. When the
tracing of a tunnel in the stack is complete, then the next tunnel in
the stack should be traced. The end of a tunnel can be detected from
the "Return Code" when it indicates that the responding LSR is an
egress for the stack at depth 1. Thus the traceroute procedures in
[RFC4379] can be recursively applied to traceroute a source routed
LSP.
7. Issues with non-forwarding labels
Source stacking can be optionally used to apply services on the
packet at a LSR along the path, where a label in the stack is used to
trigger service application. A data plane failure detection and
isolation mechanism should provide its functionality without applying
these services. This is mandatory for services that are stateful,
though for stateless services [RFC4379] could be used as-is. It MAY
also provide a mechanism to detect and isolate faults within the
service function itself.
To prevent services from being applied to an "echo request" packet,
the TTL of service labels MUST be 0. However TTL processing rules of
a service label must be the same as any MPLS label. Due to this a
TTL of 0 in the service label would prevent the packet from being
forwarded beyond the LSR that provides the service. To avoid this
problem, the originator of the "echo request" MUST NOT include the
service label in the label stack of an echo request above the tunnel
label of the tunnel that is being currently traced. In other words
the ingress must remove all service-labels above the label of the
tunnel being currently traced, but retain service labels below it
when sending the echo request. Note that load balancing may affect
the path when the service labels are removed, resulting in a newer
path being traversed. However this new path is potentially different
only up to the LSR that provides the service. Since this portion of
the path was traced when the tunnels above this tunnel in the stack
were traced and followed the exact path as the source routed LSP,
this should not be a major concern. Sometimes the newer path may
have a problem that was not in the original path resulting in a false
positive. In such a case the original path can be traversed by
changing the label stack to reach the intermediate LSR with labels
that route along each hop explicitly.

8. IANA Considerations
8.1. New Target FEC Stack Sub-TLVs
IANA is requested to assign 3 new Sub-TLVs from "Sub-TLVs for TLV
Types 1, 16 and 21" sub-registry.
Sub-Type Sub-TLV Name Reference
---------- ----------------- ------------
TBD1 IPv4 Prefix Node Segment ID Section 4.1 (this document)
TBD2 IPv6 Prefix Node Segment ID Section 4.2 (this document)
TBD3 Adjacency Segment ID Section 4.3 (this document)
9. Security Considerations
This document defines additional Sub-TLVs and follows the mechanism
defined in [RFC4379]. So all the security consideration defined in
[RFC4379] will be applicable for this document and in addition it
does not impose any security challenges to be considered.
