                 draft-zch-lsr-isis-network-slicing-02

Abstract

   [I-D.peng-teas-network-slicing] defines a unified administrative
   instance identifier to distinguish different virtual network
   resources for both intra-domain and inter-domain network slicing
   scenarios.  This draft describes the IS-IS extensions required to
   support Packet Network Slicing using Segment Routing.

1.  Introduction

   For a packet network, network slicing requires the underlying network
   to support partitioning of the network resources to provide the
   client with dedicated (private) networking, computing, and storage
   resources drawn from a shared pool.  The slices may be seen as
   virtual networks.  [I-D.peng-teas-network-slicing] specifies a
   detailed mechanism to signal association of shared resources required
   to create and manage an NSI called "Administrative Instance
   Identifier" (AII).

   This draft describes the IS-IS extensions required to distribute AII
   information in an AS.

2.  Conventions used in this document

   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.  Advertising AII information as a new TE parameter of a link

   [RFC5305] describes extensions to the Intermediate System to
   Intermediate System (IS-IS) protocol to support Traffic Engineering
   (TE).

Internet-Draft       IS-IS Ext for Slicing using SR        November 2019


   AII can be used to color links to partition underlay resource.  This
   document defines a new extension of the existing IGP-TE
   mechanisms[RFC5305] to distribute AII information in an AS as a new
   TE parameter of a link.

   The AII list sub-TLV 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
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
       |                     AII for virtual networks 1                |
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
           |                       ......                                  |

                                 Figure 1

   Type: 43 (Suggested value to be assigned by IANA)

   Length: variable.

   Number:Number of virtual networks.

   AII for VN: allocate different AII for different virtual networks.
   AII is used to distinguish different virtual network resources.

   This sub-TLV MAY be present in any of the following TLVs:

   TLV-22 (Extended IS reachability) [RFC5305].

   TLV-222 (Multitopology IS)[RFC5120].

   TLV-23 (IS Neighbor Attribute)[RFC5311].

   TLV-223 (Multitopology IS Neighbor Attribute)[RFC5311].

   TLV-141 (inter-AS reachability information)[RFC5316].

   This sub-TLV SHOULD appear once at most in each TLV.  Indicates that
   a link MAY belong to multiple virtual networks.

   Note that AII 0 does not require notification, and all links are
   always in AII 0 at the same time.

4.  Advertising prefix-SID per AII information

   [I-D.ietf-isis-segment-routing-extensions] defines a new IS-IS sub-
   TLV: the Prefix Segment Identifier sub-TLV (Prefix-SID sub-TLV).  The
   Prefix-SID sub-TLV carries the Segment Routing IGP-Prefix-SID as
   defined in [RFC8402], and is associated to a prefix advertised by a
   node.

   To distinguish forwarding behavior of different virtual networks,
   Prefix-SID need to be allocated per AII and advertised in the IGP
   domain.  This document defines a new extension of the existing
   Prefix-SID sub-TLV.

   The Prefix-SID for AII sub-TLV 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
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
       |   Type=TBD2   |    Length     |     Flag      |   Algorithm   |
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
       |                            AII                                |
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
       |                      SID/Index/Label(Variable)                |
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   where:

   Type:33 (Suggested value to be assigned by IANA)

   Length: Variable.  Depending on the size of the SID.

   The "Flags" and "SID/Index/Label" fields are the same as the Prefix-
   SID sub-TLV [I-D.ietf-isis-segment-routing-extensions].

   AII: Identifies the AII information corresponding to the Prefix-SID.

   This sub-TLV MAY be present in any of the following TLVs:

   TLV-135 (Extended IPv4 reachability) defined in [RFC5305].

   TLV-235 (Multitopology IPv4 Reachability) defined in [RFC5120].

   TLV-236 (IPv6 IP Reachability) defined in [RFC5308].

   TLV-237 (Multitopology IPv6 IP Reachability) defined in [RFC5120].

   This sub-TLV MAY appear multiple times in each TLV.

5.  Advertising Adjacency-SID per AII information

   [I-D.ietf-isis-segment-routing-extensions]defines a new IS-IS sub-
   TLV: the Adjacency Segment Identifier sub-TLV (Adj-SID sub-TLV).The
   Adj-SID sub-TLV is an optional sub-TLV carrying the Segment Routing
   IGP-Adjacency-SID as defined in [RFC8402].

   To distinguish forwarding behavior of different virtual networks,
   Adjacency -SID need to be allocated per AII and advertised in the IGP
   domain.  This document defines a new extension of the existing
   Adjacency-SID sub-TLV.

   The Adjacency-SID for AII sub-TLV 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
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
       |   Type=TBD3   |    Length     |     Flag      |   Algorithm   |
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
       |                            AII                                |
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
       |                      SID/Index/Label(Variable)                |
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

                                 Figure 3

   where:

   Type:44 (Suggested value to be assigned by IANA)

   Length: Variable.  Depending on the size of the SID.

   The "Flags" and "SID/Index/Label" fields are the same as the
   Adjacency-SID sub-TLV [I-D.ietf-isis-segment-routing-extensions].

   AII: Identifies the AII information corresponding to the Adjacency-
   SID.

   This sub-TLV MAY be present in any of the following TLVs:

   TLV-22 (Extended IS reachability) [RFC5305].

   TLV-222 (Multitopology IS)[RFC5120].

   TLV-23 (IS Neighbor Attribute)[RFC5311].

   TLV-223 (Multitopology IS Neighbor Attribute)[RFC5311].

   TLV-141 (inter-AS reachability information)[RFC5316].

   Multiple Adj-SID sub-TLVs MAY be associated with a single IS-
   neighbor.  This sub-TLV MAY appear multiple times in each TLV.

6.  IANA Considerations

   This document requests allocation for the following Sub-TLVs.

6.1.  AII list sub-TLV

   This TLV shares sub-TLV space with existing "Sub-TLVs for TLVs 22,
   222, 23,223 and 141 registry".

   Type:43(suggested - to be assigned by IANA).

6.2.  Prefix-SID for AII sub-TLV

   This TLV shares sub-TLV space with existing "Sub-TLVs for TLVs
   135,235,226 and 237 registry".

   Type:33(suggested - to be assigned by IANA).

6.3.  Adjacency -SID for AII sub-TLV

   This TLV shares sub-TLV space with existing "Sub-TLVs for TLVs 22,
   222, 23,223 and 141 registry".
