Label Switched Path (LSP) Attribute in the Explicit Route Object (ERO)

Abstract

RFC 5420 extends RSVP-TE to specify or record generic attributes that
apply to the whole of the path of a Label Switched Path (LSP). This
document defines an extension to the RSVP Explicit Route Object (ERO)
and Record Route Object (RRO) to allow them to specify or record
generic attributes that apply to a given hop.

1. Introduction

Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Traffic Engineering (TE) Label Switched
Paths (LSPs) can be route constrained by making use of the Explicit
Route Object (ERO) and related subobjects as defined in [RFC3209],
[RFC3473], [RFC3477], [RFC4873], [RFC4874], [RFC5520], and [RFC5553].
Several documents have identified the need for attributes that can be
targeted at specific hops in the path of an LSP, including [RFC6163],
[WSON-SIG], [RFC7571], or [OBJ-FUN]. This document provides a
generic mechanism for use by these other documents.

RSVP already supports generic extension of LSP attributes in
[RFC5420]. In order to support current and future ERO constraint
extensions, this document provides a mechanism to define per-hop
attributes.

The document describes a generic mechanism for carrying information
related to specific nodes when signaling an LSP. This document does
not restrict what that information can be used for. The defined
approach builds on LSP attributes defined in [RFC5420] and enables

Margaria, et al. Standards Track [Page 2]

RFC 7570 General ERO LSP Parameters July 2015

attributes to be expressed in ERO and Secondary Explicit Route
Objects (SEROs). A new ERO subobject is defined, containing a list
of generic per-hop attributes.

1.1. Requirements Language

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. ERO Hop Attributes Subobject

The ERO Hop Attributes subobject is OPTIONAL. If used, it is carried
in the ERO or SERO. The subobject uses the standard format of an ERO
subobject.

2.1. Encoding

The length is variable and content is a list of Hop Attributes TLVs
defined in Section 2.2. The size of the ERO subobject limits the
size of the Hop Attributes TLV to 250 bytes. The typical size of
currently defined and forthcoming LSP_ATTRIBUTE TLVs applicable to a
specific hop (WSON_SIGNALING, Objective Function (OF), and Metric) is
not foreseen to exceed this limit.

The ERO Hop Attributes subobject 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
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|L| Type | Length | Reserved |R|
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| |
// Hop Attributes TLVs //
| |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

The L, Type, and Length parameters are as defined in [RFC3209],
Section 4.3.3. The L bit MUST be set to 0. The Type for the ERO Hop
Attributes subobject is 35. The Hop Attributes TLVs are encoded as
defined in Section 2.2.

Reserved: Reserved MUST be set to 0 when the subobject is inserted
in the ERO, MUST NOT be changed when a node processes the ERO, and
MUST be ignored on the node addressed by the preceding ERO
subobjects.

Margaria, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]

RFC 7570 General ERO LSP Parameters July 2015

R: This bit reflects the LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTE and LSP_ATTRIBUTE
semantic defined in [RFC5420]. When set, it indicates required
hop attributes to be processed by the node. When cleared, it
indicates that the hop attributes are not required as described in
Section 2.3.

Hop Attributes TLVs: The TLVs as defined in Section 2.2.

2.2. Hop Attributes TLVs

ERO attributes carried by the new objects defined in this document
are encoded within TLVs. Each object MAY contain one or more TLVs.
There are no ordering rules for TLVs, and interpretation SHOULD NOT
be placed on the order in which TLVs are received. The TLV format is
defined in [RFC5420], Section 3.

The Attribute Flags TLV defined in [RFC5420] is carried in an ERO Hop
Attributes subobject. Flags set in the Attribute Flags TLV [RFC5420]
carried in an ERO Hop Attributes subobject SHALL be interpreted in
the context of the received ERO. Only a subset of defined flags are
defined as valid for use in Attribute Flags TLV carried in an ERO Hop
Attributes subobject. Invalid flags SHALL be silently ignored.
Unknown flags SHOULD trigger the generation of a PathErr with Error
Code "Unknown Attributes Bit" as defined in [RFC5420], Section 5.2.
The set of valid flags are defined in Section 4.3.

The presence and ordering rule of the Attribute Flags TLV in an ERO
Hop Attributes subobject is defined by each Flag. A document
defining a flag to be used in an Attribute Flags TLV carried in the
ERO Hop Attributes subobject has to describe:

o after which kinds of ERO subobject the flag is valid,

o if ordering of the flag and other ERO subobjects associated with
the same hop (e.g., Label subobjects) is significant,

o if ordering is significant, how the flag is interpreted in
association with the preceding subobjects, and

o any flag modification rules that might apply.

2.3. Procedures

As described in [RFC3209], the ERO is managed as a list of subobjects
each identifying a specific entity, an abstract node, or a link that
defines a waypoint in the network path. Identifying subobjects of
various types are defined in [RFC3209], [RFC3477], [RFC4873],
[RFC4874], [RFC5520], and [RFC5553].

Margaria, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]

RFC 7570 General ERO LSP Parameters July 2015

[RFC3473] modified the ERO list by allowing one or two Label
subobjects to be interposed in the list after a subobject identifying
a link. One or more ERO Hop Attributes subobjects applicable to a
particular hop MAY be inserted directly after any of the existing
identifying subobjects defined in[RFC3209], [RFC3477], [RFC4873],
[RFC4874], [RFC5520], and [RFC5553]. If any Label subobjects are
present for a hop, the ERO Hop Attributes subobject(s) MAY also be
inserted after the Label subobjects.

The attributes specified in an ERO Hop Attributes subobject apply to
the immediately preceding subobject(s) in the ERO subobject list.

A document defining a specific Hop Attributes TLV has to describe:

o after which kinds of ERO subobject they are valid,

o if ordering of the Hop Attributes subobject and other ERO
subobjects associated with the same hop (e.g., Label subobjects)
is significant,

o if ordering is significant, how the attribute is interpreted in
association with the preceding ERO subobjects, and

o any TLV modification rules that might apply.

For instance, subobject presence rules can be defined by describing
rules similar to [RFC4990], Section 6.1.

If a node is processing an ERO Hop Attributes subobject and does not
support the handling of the subobject, it will behave as described in
[RFC3209] when an unrecognized ERO subobject is encountered. This
node will return a PathErr with Error Code "Routing Error" and Error
Value "Bad EXPLICIT_ROUTE object" with the EXPLICIT_ROUTE object
included, truncated (on the left) to the offending unrecognized
subobject.

When the R bit is set, a node MUST examine the attributes TLV present
in the subobject following the rules described in [RFC5420],
Section 5.2. When the R bit is not set, a node MUST examine the
attributes TLV present in the subobject following the rules described
in [RFC5420], Section 4.2.

A node processing an ERO Hop Attributes subobject with a Hop
Attributes TLV longer than the ERO subobject SHOULD return a PathErr
with Error Code "Routing Error" and Error Value "Bad EXPLICIT_ROUTE
object" with the EXPLICIT_ROUTE object included, truncated (on the
left) to the offending malformed subobject. A processing node MUST

Margaria, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]

RFC 7570 General ERO LSP Parameters July 2015

NOT originate a Hop Attributes TLV longer than the ERO Hop Attributes
subobject. The processing of the Hop Attributes TLVs SHOULD be
described in the documents defining them.

3. RRO Hop Attributes Subobject

In some cases, it is important to determine if an OPTIONAL hop
attribute has been processed by a node.

3.1. Encoding

The RRO Hop Attributes subobject is OPTIONAL. If used, it is carried
in the RECORD_ROUTE object. The subobject uses the standard format
of an RRO subobject.

The RRO Hop Attributes subobject 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
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Type | Length | Reserved |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| |
// Hop Attributes TLVs //
| |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

The Type and Length parameters are as defined in [RFC3209],
Section 4.4.1. The Type for the RRO Hop Attributes subobject is 35.
The Hop Attributes TLVs are encoded as defined in Section 2.2.

Reserved: Reserved MUST be set to 0 when the subobject is inserted
in the RRO, MUST NOT be changed when a node processes the RRO, and
MUST be ignored on the node addressed by the preceding RRO
subobjects.

Hop Attributes TLVs: The processed or additional Hop Attributes
TLVs, using the format defined in Section 2.2.

3.2. Procedures

3.2.1. Subobject Presence Rule

The RRO rules defined in [RFC3209] are not changed. The RRO Hop
Attributes subobject MUST be pushed after the RRO Attributes
subobject (if present) as defined in [RFC5420]. The RRO Hop
Attributes subobject MAY be present between a pair of subobjects
identifying the Label Switching Router (LSR) or links. Unless local

Margaria, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]

RFC 7570 General ERO LSP Parameters July 2015

policy applies, all such subobjects SHOULD be forwarded unmodified by
transit LSRs.

It is noted that a node (e.g., a domain edge node) MAY edit the RRO
to prune/modify the RRO, including the RRO Hop Attributes subobject
before forwarding due to confidentiality policy or other reasons (for
instance, RRO size reduction).

3.2.2. Reporting Compliance with ERO Hop Attributes

To report that an ERO hop attribute has been considered, or to report
an additional attribute, an LSR can add a RRO Hop Attributes
subobject with the Hop Attributes TLV, which describes the attribute
to be reported. The requirement to report compliance MUST be
specified in the document that defines the usage of a hop attribute.

3.2.3. Compatibility with RRO Attributes Subobject

The RRO Hop Attributes subobject extends the capability of the RRO
Attributes subobject defined in [RFC5420], Section 7.2 by allowing
the node to report the attribute value. The mechanism defined in
this document is compatible with the RRO Attributes subobject using
the following procedures.

For LSP attributes signaled in the LSP_ATTRIBUTES or
LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTES objects, a node SHOULD use the RRO Attributes
subobject to report processing of those attributes.

For LSP attributes signaled in the ERO Hop Attributes subobject and
not in the LSP_ATTRIBUTES or LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTES objects, if a
node desires to report the attributes, it SHOULD use the RRO Hop
Attributes subobject and SHOULD NOT use the RRO Attributes subobject.
Ingress nodes not supporting the RRO Hop Attributes subobject will
drop the information, as described in [RFC3209], Section 4.4.5.

A node can use the RRO Hop Attributes subobject to report an LSP
attribute signaled in LSP_ATTRIBUTES or LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTES only
if the following conditions are met:

The attribute and its corresponding flag is allowed on both the
LSP_ATTRIBUTES or LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTES and LSP Hop Attributes
subobject.

The reporting of an LSP attribute signaled in LSP_ATTRIBUTES or
LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTES in the RRO Hop Attribute is specified in
the document defining that LSP attribute.

4. IANA Considerations

4.1. ERO Hop Attributes Subobject

IANA manages the "Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) Parameters"
registry located at
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/rsvp-parameters>. Per this
document, IANA has made an allocation in the Sub-object type 20
EXPLICIT_ROUTE - Type 1 Explicit Route registry.

This document introduces a new ERO subobject:

Value Description Reference

35 Hop Attributes This document, Section 2

4.2. RRO Hop Attributes Subobject

IANA manages the "Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) Parameters"
registry located at
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/rsvp-parameters>. Per this
document, IANA has made an allocation in the Sub-object type 21
ROUTE_RECORD - Type 1 Route Record registry. This value is the same
as that in Section 4.1.

This document introduces a new RRO subobject:

35 Hop Attributes This document, Section 3

4.3. Existing Attribute Flags

IANA manages the "Attribute Flags" registry as part of the "Resource
Reservation Protocol-Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) Parameters"
registry located at
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/rsvp-te-parameters>. A new column
in the registry is introduced by this document. This column
indicates if the flag is permitted to be used in an Attribute Flags
TLV carried in the ERO Hop Attributes subobject. The column uses the
heading "ERO" and the registry has been updated as follows:

4.4. Existing LSP Attribute TLVs

IANA manages the "Resource Reservation Protocol-Traffic Engineering
(RSVP-TE) Parameters" registry located at
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/rsvp-te-parameters>. The
"Attributes TLV Space" registry manages the following attributes, as
defined in [RFC5420]:

o TLV Type (T-field value)

o TLV Name

o Whether allowed on LSP_ATTRIBUTES object

o Whether allowed on LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTES object

Per this document, IANA has added the following information for each
TLV in the RSVP TLV type identifier registry.

o Whether allowed on LSP Hop Attributes ERO subobject

The existing registry has been modified for existing TLVs as follows.
The following abbreviations are used below:

LSP_A: Whether allowed on LSP_ATTRIBUTES object.

LSP_RA: Whether allowed on LSP_REQUIRED_ATTRIBUTES object.

HOP_A: Whether allowed on LSP Hop Attributes subobject.

5. Security Considerations

This document adds a new subobject in the EXPLICIT_ROUTE and the
ROUTE_RECORD objects carried in RSVP messages used in MPLS and GMPLS
signaling. It builds on mechanisms defined in [RFC3209] and
[RFC5420] and does not introduce any new security. The existing
security considerations described in [RFC2205], [RFC3209], [RFC3473],
and [RFC5420] do apply.

Margaria, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]

RFC 7570 General ERO LSP Parameters July 2015

As with any RSVP-TE signaling request, the procedures defined in this
document permit the transfer and reporting of functional preferences
on a specific node. The mechanism added in this document does allow
more control of LSP attributes at a given node. A node SHOULD check
the hop attributes against its policies and admission procedures as
it does with other inputs. A node MAY reject the message using
existing RSVP Error Codes like "Policy Control Failure" or "Admission
Control Failure". The node MAY also, depending on the specific TLV
procedures, modify the requested attribute. This can reveal
information about the LSP request and status to anyone with
unauthorized access. The mechanism described in this document does
not contribute to this issue, which can be only resolved by
encrypting the content of the whole signaling message.

In addition, the reporting of attributes using the RRO can reveal
details about the node that the operator wishes to remain
confidential. The same strategy and policies that apply to other RRO
subobjects also apply to this new mechanism. It is RECOMMENDED that
domain boundary policies take the releasing of RRO hop attributes
into consideration.
