Abstract

   This document provides solutions for control plane signaling, in
   accordance with the control plane framework developed in the DetNet
   WG. The solutions cover distributed, centralized, and hybrid
   signaling scenarios in the TSN and SDN domain. We propose changes to
   RSVP IntServ for a better integration with Layer 2 technologies for
   resource reservation, outlining example API specifications for the
   realization of the revised RSVP (called RSVP-TSN in the document).

INTERNET DRAFT       DetNet Control Plane Signaling


1.  Introduction

   The authors in [ID.malis-detnet-controller-plane-framework] provide
   an overview of the DetNet control plane architecture along three
   possible classes, namely (i) fully distributed control plane
   utilizing dynamic signaling protocols, (ii) a centralized, SDN-like,
   control plane, and (iii) a hybrid control plane.

   When investigating the usage of RSVP [RFC2205] for the signaling of
   deterministic IP connectivity in combination of underlying Layer 2
   mechanisms, considerations arise for the development of the detnet-
   specific RSVP protocol, called RSVP-TSN in the following.

   This document will outline use cases spanning the classes of control
   planes introduced in [ID.malis-detnet-controller-plane-framework],
   followed by the design rationale and specification for the proposed
   RSVP-TSN protocol.

1.1.  Terminology

   This document uses the terminology established in the DetNet
   Architecture [RFC8655], and the reader is assumed to be familiar with
   that document and its terminology.

   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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

2.  Use Cases

   Based on the detnet stack model [RFC 8938], "Resource allocation",
   located in the forwarding sub-layer, is split into RSVP-TSN IP flow
   signaling and underlying TSN subnet stream reservation. Stream
   reservation within TSN subnetworks can be organized with a
   decentralized, centralized or hybrid configuration model. The notion
   of TSN in these use cases and the remainder of the document assumes a
   Bridged-Ethernet LAN with enhancements for time-sensitive
   networking.

2.1.  Distributed DetNet User Network Interface (ddUNI)

   The following figure illustrates the principle of a hybrid DetNet
   using RSVP-TSN for DnFlow signaling in a TSN aware customer network.
   DetNet/TSN end nodes signal their DnFlows over RSVP-TSN. In parallel,
   the TSN control plane triggers the stream reservation within a TSN
   aware customer network, using e.g., LRP/RAP. The control plane
   solution of a TSN customer network is independent from RSVP-TSN
   signaling and can cover distributed, centralized or hybrid

   reservation scenarios.

   An RSVP detnet Edge Router supports RSVP-TSN signaling of DnFlows and
   covers DnFlow signaling supported by the associated detnet aware core
   network. Although the DetNet control plane within the DetNet core
   network is without support for RSVP, it still supports the DetNet
   Flow and Service Information Model [ID-detnet-flow-information-model]
   and can be organized in a decentralized or centralized (SDN-like)
   manner.

2.2.  Fully Distributed Detnet Control Plane (still supports ddUNI)

   The following figure illustrates a fully distributed DetNet using
   RSVP-TSN for DnFlow signaling in TSN aware customer networks and RSVP
   aware core networks. In difference to the previous scenario, the
   detnet control plane within the detnet aware core network still
   supports RSVP to establish detnet end-2-end connectivity.

3.  Design Rationale

   This section will explore the design rationale behind the development
   of RSVP-TSN. The next two sub-sections outline aspects derived from
   the comparison of RAP, as a Layer2 mechanism, and RSVP, before
   highlighting key design considerations for the presentation of RSVP-
   TSN in Section 4.

INTERNET DRAFT       DetNet Control Plane Signaling


3.1.  RAP Reservation in TSN vs RSVP IntServ Model

   Layer2 reservation in TSN-based networks is supported through RAP,
   providing a maximum of 8 classes of traffic where the frame priority
   code point (PCP) is used to select the Resource Allocation (RA) class
   at the ingress bridge. Streams within a single RA class are queued in
   a single traffic class where the latency of the stream is guaranteed
   per hop and per RA class.

   This model contrasts with the RSVP IntServ [RFC2212] model, which
   provides a flow bandwidth driven latency model with a separate
   transmission queue per flow, not a class-based model like in the
   aforementioned RAP model.

   This difference in models poses a number of challenges:

   1. Is RSVP IntServ (as defined in [RFC2212]) the right starting
      point?

   2. How to efficiently map the different reservation styles of RSVP-
      TSN onto RAP?

   3. What is the nature of the interface between RSVP-TSN and RAP?

   4. How is the binding between L3 signaling (RSVP IntServer) and L2
      signaling (RAP ) realized, e.g., mapping of Stream-ID?


   The following sub-sections elaborate on the various aspects in
   addressing those challenges.

3.2.  Similarities and Differences between RSVP and RAP

   The following sub-sections will outline various aspects to be
   considered when designing the interfaces between RSVP-TSN and RAP,
   namely the assumptions on network nodes (Section 3.2.1), the mapping
   of the latency model used in both models (Section 3.2.2), the dealing
   with latency margins (Section 3.2.3), the dealing with Jitter and
   non-shaping nodes (Section 3.2.4), and the mapping of resource
   reservation styles (Section 3.2.5).

3.2.1.  Assumptions on Network Nodes

   RSVP assumes three different nodes over which a reservation can be
   done, namely
   - Shaping node, which implements the RSVP signaling and shaping on
     the data plane,




Trossen, et al.        Expires February 11, 2021                [Page 5]


INTERNET DRAFT       DetNet Control Plane Signaling


   - None shaping node, which implements the RSVP signaling and is
     capable of estimating the latency caused by this node

   - Legacy node, which does neither implement RSVP nor any shaping.


   RAP assumes properties common to all nodes within a reservation
   domain:
   - All nodes take part in the signaling process

   - Different data plane architectures are supported albeit limited to
     those defined in IEEE 802.1Q.

   - Bridging between different (heterogeneous) data planes is achieved
     through a peer-to-peer model where every upstream node is a talker
     for the next downstream node.


3.2.2.  Mapping of Latency Model

   RSVP assumes a weighted fair queuing (WFQ) at the data plane, where a
   listener is able to influence therefore the latency through the
   reserved bandwidth per flow.

   RAP assumes one traffic class with given interference per common RA
   class, resulting in a per hop latency for all stream within a single
   RA class. The E2E latency is just signaled by accumulating hop
   latency while the allowed interference determines the amount of
   allowed flow per RA class. Here, the listener is unable to influence
   the latency but the stream requirement is signaled upstream.

3.2.3.  Dealing with Latency Margins

   RSVP provides the notion of slack [RFC2212] per flow, which can be
   consumed by the processing node in the network to enable additional
   reservations.

   In RAP, every listener of a stream propagates its required latency
   upstream to the talker. Latency margins are not handled directly by
   RAP, while the per hop latency of an RA class is preconfigured by
   management. In each node, the per RA class upstream required latency
   of all streams can be used to locally calculate the latency margins
   per hop. The management system can then use this information to
   adjust the per hop maximum latency at runtime.

3.2.4.  Dealing with Jitter and Non-Shaping Nodes

   RSVP has two different parameters to propagate the maximum non-



Trossen, et al.        Expires February 11, 2021                [Page 6]


INTERNET DRAFT       DetNet Control Plane Signaling


   conformance to the leaky bucket model introduced through jitter and
   non-shaping nodes. These can be accumulated by non-shaping nodes,
   i.e., those which implement the RSVP protocol but are not performing
   shaping at the data plane.

   Within RAP, there is no distinction between shaping and non-shaping
   nodes since all nodes adhere to the data plane architecture defined
   in IEEE 802.1Q. Heterogeneous data planes are possible as long as
   assurances to the next hop can be upheld, while RA class attributes
   are used to propagate data plane behavior (e.g., shaper) to the next
   neighbor.

3.2.5.  Mapping Resource Reservation Styles

   RSVP uses the notion of 'sessions', which are able to maintain
   different kinds of end-to-end connectivity and resource styles,
   namely fixed (i) filter style, (ii) shared explicit style, and (iii)
   wildcard filter style - see [RFC2205] and Figure 3. It is important
   to note that in RSVP, both sender selection and resource styles are
   controlled by the receiver; we return to this issue in our next
   section, discussing the rationale for the proposed design for RSVP-
   TSN.

   The current draft version of RAP supports only distinct explicit mode
   of reservation, while in principle supporting reservation between one
   talker and multiple listeners. Bridged Ethernet technology is also
   able to support the shared resource modes as specified by RSVP. Also
   a new resource style called Coordinated Shared Resource Style is
   planned.

                    ||              Resource Style                    |
          Sender    ||                                                |
         Selection  ||  Distinct   |   Shared    | Coordinated Shared |
   -----------------||-------------|-------------|--------------------|
                    ||             |             |                    |
        Explicit    ||  supported  |  supported  |    supported       |

        Wildcard    ||             |  supported  |                    |
   -----------------||------------------------------------------------|

3.3.  Design Considerations for RSVP-TSN

3.3.1.  Rationale

   Continuing from Section 3.2.5, in RSVP (for IntServ), the receiver
   initiates resource style and sender selection through the Resv



Trossen, et al.        Expires February 11, 2021                [Page 7]


INTERNET DRAFT       DetNet Control Plane Signaling


   message being sent upstream, while path state being setup through the
   Path message from the sender to the receiver upon receiving the Resv
   message.

   When looking into an integration with lower layer APIs, such as the
   TSN API, we identify key differences in WHEN these lower layer APIs
   decide if a reservation is possible:

   1. For a new Announce downstream, each L2 node decides that if this
      stream was reserved at this port, would there be enough resources
      available to do so?

   2. For a new Attachment upstream, each L2 node will lock the required
      resources and bandwidth exclusively for this stream. For every L2
      node local non-locked Announce, the L2 node will decide the same
      question as in item 1 and refresh and propagate the necessary
      states accordingly.

   It is important to note that steps 1 and 2 only work if the 'resource
   style' is already known by the Announce propagation.

3.3.2.  Splitting Control over Resource Style and Sender Selection

   In order to allow for an efficient resource reservation at the lower
   network level by implementing the steps 1 and 2 in Section 3.3.1, we
   propose to split the control over 'resource style' and 'sender
   selection' in that in RSVP-TSN the sender controls the 'resource
   style' and the listener controls the 'sender selection'.

3.3.3.  Coordinated Shared Resource Style

   Independent from the efficient realization of lower layer resource
   reservation, we have also identified a requirement in industrial use
   cases to support a large amount of deterministic connections with
   small data usage. In those cases, separate reservation for each
   connection could be inefficient.

   To address this, we propose to introduce another 'resource style'
   called 'Coordinated Shared', which would indicate the use of
   scheduling (of those many deterministic connections) at L2-Listener
   and L3-Receiver level. A first proposal for a solution in the TSN RAP
   protocol was presented to the IEEE in [CHEN-IEEE]

3.3.4.  DnFlow DestinatinIpAddress Resolution

   To support deterministic QoS Bridged Ethernet has introduced Streams.
   Streams differ from legacy traffic within a Bridged Ethernet sub-
   network because streams belong to a traffic class which is uniquely



Trossen, et al.        Expires February 11, 2021                [Page 8]


INTERNET DRAFT       DetNet Control Plane Signaling


   identified by a priority value in the range of 0 through 7. Streams
   within an TSN aware Bridged Ethernet sub-network also need unique
   destination MAC-address for identification. The priority and the
   unique destination MAC-address indicates a Stream within a virtual
   LAN (VLAN). The IEEE 802.1CQ draft for "Multicast and Local Address
   Assignment" specifies protocols and procedures of locally unique
   assignment for 48-bit and 64-bit addresses in IEEE 802 networks.

   Streams do not use the interface Mac-Address as destination MAC-
   Address within a Bridged Ethernet. Further enhancements for IP
   address resolutions are required within TSN and detnet aware end-
   systems and routers and to map one or multiple detnet IP flows to a
   stream destination MAC-Address. DnFlows are identified by a "6-tuple"
   that refers to information carried in IP and higher layer protocol
   headers. The 6-tuple referred to in this document is the same as that
   defined in [RFC3290]. Specifically, 6-tuple is DestinationIpAddress,
   SourceIpAddress, Protocol, SourcePort, DestinationPort, and
   differentiated services (DiffServ) code point (DSCP).

4.  RSVP-TSN

   In this section, we specify the APIs for RSVP-TSN, the message
   formats, as well as outline the layer and node interactions in an
   RSVP-TSN based system

4.1.  Layer Interactions between RSVP and TSN

   Figure 4  provides an overview of the interactions between L2 and L3
   elements in a network deployment as an elaboration of the elements in
   Figure 1, also illustrating the various interfaces described in the
   following sections.

   The application utilizes a generalized API for deterministic QoS
   (dQoS) that controls and signals the establishment of deterministic
   end-to-end DnFlow via the upper API of RSVP-TSN (uRSVP).

   RSVP-TSN end nodes utilize RSVP-TSN to signal DnFlows to a detnet
   aware edge router. This L3 network interface is called "Distributed
   DetNet User Network Interface" (ddUNI).

   The lower API of RSVP-TSN (lRSVP) interacts with the TSN control
   plane to trigger the establishment of streams in an TSN aware (e.g.
   customer) sub-network. The TSN control plane for the establishment of
   streams in a TSN sub-network can be organized decentralized,
   centralized or hybrid for stream reservation. For stream
   establishment based on centralized scheduling, a third-party protocol
   like RESTCONF is typically used.

4.2.  API for Deterministic QoS (gQoS)

   The description of a generalized API to support deterministic QoS is
   not part of this document.

4.3.  RSVP-TSN upper API (uRSVP)

   The definition of the upper and lower APIs of RSVP-TSN is based on
   the DetNet flow information model [ID-detnet-flow-information-model].

   This interface is oriented on the interface specified by RSVP-IntServ
   (RFC 2205). Most of the changes are due to mapping resource
   reservation styles (see Section 2.4.5).

       - DestinationIpAddress, Protocol, DestinationPort

       Response parameter:

       - SessionID

     Call: Add DnFlow

        Request parameter (make use of pieces from the
       DnFlowSpecification)

        - SessionID, SourceIpAddress, SourcePort, DSCP

       -  DnTrafficSpecification: Interval, MaxPacketsPerInterval,
       MaxPayloadSize, MinPayloadSize

       - DnFLowRank

       - Select one of the Resource Style: Distinct, Shared,
       CoordinatedShared

       - Data TTL, PATH MTU size, LossRate

     Notes for new parameter:

     The DSCP is required to map DnFlows according their service class
     to offered service classes of the lower layer.

     The resource style for an DnFlow is announced by the sender within
     the path message.

     The LossRate is accumulated per DnFlow from Sender to Receiver.

     Upcall: DnFlow

       - Session ID

       - One of the Info_type: RESV_EVENT; PATH_ERROR

     Receiver

     Call: Open Session

     Notes for new parameter:

     The Source Selection is split from the RSVP-IntServ Reservation
     Style but still follows the rules defined by RSVP-IntServ.

     The extended traffic specification MaximumExpectedLatency is
     propagated and merged to a minimum upstream from receiver to
     sender.

7.  Conclusion

   This draft outlines the possible control plane signaling in
   deterministic networking environments for distributed, centralized
   and hybrid deployments.

   For this, changes to the RSVP signaling have been proposed in the
   form of RSVP-TSN for a better alignment of the Layer 3 signaling with
   that of emerging Layer 2 solutions, together with suggested API
   specifications for the realization of the L3 to L2 interfaces in
   endpoints.
