Border Gateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS) Extensions for Flexible

                      Algorithm Advertisement

Abstract

 Flexible Algorithm is a solution that allows some routing protocols
 (e.g., OSPF and IS-IS) to compute paths over a network based on user-
 defined (and hence, flexible) constraints and metrics.  The
 computation is performed by routers participating in the specific
 network in a distributed manner using a Flexible Algorithm Definition
 (FAD).  This definition is provisioned on one or more routers and
 propagated through the network by OSPF and IS-IS flooding.
 Border Gateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS) enables the collection
 of various topology information from the network.  This document
 defines extensions to the BGP-LS address family to advertise the FAD
 as a part of the topology information from the network.

1. Introduction

 The classical IGP (e.g., OSPF and IS-IS) computation of best paths
 over the network is based on the IGP metric assigned to the links in
 the network.  Many network deployments use solutions based on RSVP-TE
 [RFC3209] or Segment Routing (SR) Policy [RFC8402] to enforce traffic
 over a path that is computed using different metrics or constraints
 than the shortest IGP path.  [RFC9350] defines the Flexible Algorithm
 solution that allows IGPs themselves to compute constraint-based
 paths over the network.
 Flexible Algorithm is called so because it allows a user the
 flexibility to define:
  • the type of calculation to be used (e.g., shortest path),
  • the metric type to be used (e.g., IGP metric or TE metric), and
  • the set of constraints to be used (e.g., inclusion or exclusion of

certain links using affinities).

 The operations of the IGP Flexible Algorithm solution are described
 in detail in [RFC9350].
 The BGP-LS extensions for SR are defined in [RFC9085] and
 [IDR-BGPLS-SRV6-EXT] for SR-MPLS and Segment Routing over IPv6
 (SRv6), respectively.  They include the extensions for advertisement
 of SR information including various types of Segment Identifiers
 (SIDs) as below:
  • SR Algorithm TLV to indicate the participation of a node in a

Flexible Algorithm computation

  • Prefix-SID TLV to indicate the association of the Prefix-SIDs to a

specific Flexible Algorithm for SR-MPLS forwarding

  • SRv6 Locator TLV to indicate the Locator for a specific Flexible

Algorithm for SRv6 forwarding

 This document defines extensions to BGP-LS for the advertisement of
 the Flexible Algorithm Definition (FAD) information to enable
 learning of the mapping of the Flexible Algorithm number to its
 definition in each area/domain of the underlying IGP.  This
 definition indicates the type of computation used and the constraints
 for a given Flexible Algorithm.  This information can then be used
 for setting up SR Policy paths end to end across domains by using the
 appropriate Flexible-Algorithm-specific SIDs in its segment list
 [RFC9256].  For example, picking the Flexible Algorithm Prefix-SID
 (in case of SR-MPLS) or End SID (in case of SRv6) of Area Border
 Routers (ABRs) or Autonomous System Border Routers (ASBRs)
 corresponding to a definition that optimizes on the delay metric
 enables the building of an end-to-end low-latency path across IGP
 domains with minimal SIDs in the SID list.

1.1. Requirements Language

 The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
 "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
 "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
 capitals, as shown here.

2. Overview of BGP-LS Extensions for Flexible Algorithm

 BGP-LS [RFC7752] specifies the Node Network Layer Reachability
 Information (NLRI) for the advertisement of nodes, along with their
 attributes using the BGP-LS Attribute; the Link NLRI for the
 advertisement of links, along with their attributes using the BGP-LS
 Attribute; and the Prefix NLRI for the advertisement of prefixes,
 along with their attributes using the BGP-LS Attribute.
 The FADs advertised by a node are considered as a node-level
 attribute and advertised as specified in Section 3.
 Various link attributes, like affinities and Shared Risk Link Group
 (SRLG), that are used during the Flexible Algorithm route
 calculations in IS-IS and OSPF are advertised in those protocols
 using the Application-Specific Link Attribute (ASLA) advertisements,
 as described in [RFC8919], [RFC8920], and [RFC9350].  The BGP-LS
 extensions for ASLA advertisements are specified in [RFC9294].
 The Flexible Algorithm Prefix Metric (FAPM) is considered as a prefix
 attribute and advertised as specified in Section 4.

3. Flexible Algorithm Definition TLV

 This document defines a new optional BGP-LS Attribute TLV associated
 with the Node NLRI called the "Flexible Algorithm Definition TLV"
 ("FAD TLV" for short), and its format is 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

   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
              Figure 1: Flexible Algorithm Definition TLV
 where:
    Type:  1039
    Length:  The total length of the value field (including any sub-
       TLVs) in octets.  The length value MUST be 4 or larger.
    Flexible Algorithm (Flex Algo):  Single octet value carrying the
       Flexible Algorithm number between 128 and 255 inclusive, as
       defined in [RFC9350].
    Metric-Type:  Single octet value carrying the metric type, as
       defined in [RFC9350].
    Calc-Type:  Single octet value carrying the calculation type, as
       defined in [RFC9350].
    Priority:  Single octet value carrying the priority of the FAD
       advertisement, as defined in [RFC9350].
    sub-TLVs:  Zero or more sub-TLVs may be included, as described
       further in this section.
 The FAD TLV that is advertised in the BGP-LS Attribute along with the
 Node NLRI of a node is derived from the following IGP protocol-
 specific advertisements:
  • in the case of IS-IS, from the IS-IS Flexible Algorithm Definition

sub-TLV in [RFC9350]

  • in the case of OSPFv2/OSPFv3, from the OSPF Flexible Algorithm

Definition TLV in [RFC9350]

 The BGP-LS Attribute associated with a Node NLRI may include one or
 more FAD TLVs corresponding to the FAD for each algorithm that the
 particular node is advertising.
 The following subsections define sub-TLVs of the FAD TLV.

3.1. Flexible Algorithm Exclude-Any Affinity Sub-TLV

 The Flexible Algorithm Exclude-Any Affinity sub-TLV is an optional
 sub-TLV that is used to carry the affinity constraints associated
 with the FAD and enable the exclusion of links carrying any of the

 as described in [RFC9350].  The affinity is expressed in terms of the
 Extended Admin Group (EAG), as defined in [RFC7308].
 The sub-TLV has the following format:
  0                   1                   2                   3

 |             Exclude-Any EAG (variable)                       //
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

 where:
    Type:  1040
    Length:  The total length of the value field in octets dependent
       on the size of the EAG.  It MUST be a non-zero value and a
       multiple of 4.
    Exclude-Any EAG:  The EAG value, as defined in [RFC9350].
 The information in the Flexible Algorithm Exclude-Any Affinity sub-
 TLV is derived from the IS-IS and OSPF protocol-specific Flexible
 Algorithm Exclude Admin Group sub-TLV, as defined in [RFC9350].

3.2. Flexible Algorithm Include-Any Affinity Sub-TLV

 The Flexible Algorithm Include-Any Affinity sub-TLV is an optional
 sub-TLV that is used to carry the affinity constraints associated
 with the FAD and enable the inclusion of links carrying any of the
 specified affinities in the computation of the specific algorithm, as
 described in [RFC9350].  The affinity is expressed in terms of the
 EAG, as defined in [RFC7308].
 The sub-TLV has the following format:
  0                   1                   2                   3

       Figure 3: Flexible Algorithm Include-Any Affinity Sub-TLV
 where:
    Type:  1041
    Length:  The total length of the value field in octets dependent
       on the size of the EAG.  It MUST be a non-zero value and a
       multiple of 4.
    Include-Any EAG:  The EAG value, as defined in [RFC9350].
 The information in the Flexible Algorithm Include-Any Affinity sub-
 TLV is derived from the IS-IS and OSPF protocol-specific Flexible
 Algorithm Include-Any Admin Group sub-TLV, as defined in [RFC9350].

3.3. Flexible Algorithm Include-All Affinity Sub-TLV

 The Flexible Algorithm Include-All Affinity sub-TLV is an optional
 sub-TLV that is used to carry the affinity constraints associated
 with the FAD and enable the inclusion of links carrying all of the
 specified affinities in the computation of the specific algorithm, as
 described in [RFC9350].  The affinity is expressed in terms of the
 EAG, as defined in [RFC7308].
 The sub-TLV has the following format:
  0                   1                   2                   3

 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
       Figure 4: Flexible Algorithm Include-All Affinity Sub-TLV
 where:
    Type:  1042
    Length:  The total length of the value field in octets dependent
       on the size of the EAG.  It MUST be a non-zero value and a
       multiple of 4.
    Include-All EAG:  The EAG value, as defined in [RFC9350].
 The information in the Flexible Algorithm Include-All Affinity sub-
 TLV is derived from the IS-IS and OSPF protocol-specific Flexible
 Algorithm Include-All Admin Group sub-TLV, as defined in [RFC9350].

3.4. Flexible Algorithm Definition Flags Sub-TLV

 The Flexible Algorithm Definition Flags sub-TLV is an optional sub-
 TLV that is used to carry the flags associated with the FAD that are
 used in the computation of the specific algorithm, as described in
 [RFC9350].
 The sub-TLV has the following format:
  0                   1                   2                   3

 derived from the IS-IS and OSPF protocol-specific Flexible Algorithm
 Definition Flags sub-TLV, as defined in [RFC9350].

3.5. Flexible Algorithm Exclude SRLG Sub-TLV

 The Flexible Algorithm Exclude SRLG sub-TLV is an optional sub-TLV
 that is used to carry the Shared Risk Link Group (SRLG) information
 associated with the FAD and enable the exclusion of links that are
 associated with any of the specified SRLG in the computation of the
 specific algorithm, as described in [RFC9350].  The SRLGs associated
 with a link are carried in the BGP-LS Shared Risk Link Group (TLV
 1096) [RFC7752].
 The sub-TLV has the following format:
  0                   1                   2                   3

 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
 |           Shared Risk Link Group Values (variable)           //
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
           Figure 6: Flexible Algorithm Exclude SRLG Sub-TLV
 where:
    Type:  1045
    Length:  The total length of the value field in octets dependent
       on the number of SRLG values carried.  It MUST be a non-zero
       value and a multiple of 4.
    Shared Risk Link Group Values:  One or more SRLG values, each with
       a size of 4 octets, as defined in [RFC9350].
 The information in the Flexible Algorithm Exclude SRLG sub-TLV is
 derived from the IS-IS and OSPF protocol-specific Flexible Algorithm
 Exclude SRLG sub-TLV, as defined in [RFC9350].

3.6. Flexible Algorithm Unsupported Sub-TLV

 The OSPF and IS-IS signaling for FAD allows for extensions via new
 sub-TLVs under the respective IGP's Flexible Algorithm Definition
 TLV.  As specified in Section 5.3 of [RFC9350], it is important that
 the entire FAD be understood by anyone using it for computation
 purposes.  Therefore, the FAD is different from most other protocol
 extensions, where the skipping or ignoring of unsupported sub-TLV
 information does not affect the base behavior.
 The Flexible Algorithm Unsupported sub-TLV is an optional sub-TLV
 that is used to indicate the presence of unsupported FAD sub-TLVs.
 The need for this sub-TLV arises when the BGP-LS implementation on
 the advertising node does not support one or more of the FAD sub-TLVs
 present in the IGP advertisement.
 The 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            |              Length           |
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
 |  Protocol-ID  | sub-TLV types (variable) ...                 //
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
            Figure 7: Flexible Algorithm Unsupported Sub-TLV
 where:
    Type:  1046
    Length:  The total length of the value field in octets (including
       any included sub-TLV types).
    Protocol-ID:  Indicates the BGP-LS Protocol-ID of the protocol
       from which the FAD is being advertised via BGP-LS.  The values
       are from the IANA "BGP-LS Protocol-IDs" subregistry under the
       "Border Gateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS) Parameters"
       registry <https://www.iana.org/assignments/bgp-ls-parameters/>.
    sub-TLV types:  Zero or more sub-TLV types that are not supported
       by the node originating the BGP-LS advertisement.  The size of
       each sub-TLV type depends on the protocol indicated by the
       Protocol-ID field.  For example, for IS-IS, each sub-TLV type
       would be 1 octet in size, while for OSPF, each sub-TLV type
       would be 2 octets in size.
 The node originating the advertisement MUST include the Flexible
 Algorithm Unsupported sub-TLV when it comes across an unsupported
 sub-TLV in the corresponding FAD in the IS-IS and OSPF advertisement.
 When advertising the Flexible Algorithm Unsupported sub-TLV, the
 protocol-specific sub-TLV types that are not supported SHOULD be
 included.  This information serves as a diagnostic aid.
 The discussion on the use of the FAD information by the consumers of
 the BGP-LS information is beyond the scope of this document.
 However, it is RECOMMENDED that the choice of the node used for
 originating the IGP topology information into BGP-LS be made such
 that the advertising node supports all the FAD extensions in use in
 its part of the network.  This avoids the scenario where an
 incomplete FAD gets advertised via BGP-LS.

4. Flexible Algorithm Prefix Metric TLV

 This document defines a new optional BGP-LS Attribute TLV associated
 with the Prefix NLRI called the "Flexible Algorithm Prefix Metric TLV
 ("FAPM TLV" for short), and its format is 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           |
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
 |   Flex Algo   |     Flags     |            Reserved           |
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
 |                            Metric                             |
 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
             Figure 8: Flexible Algorithm Prefix Metric TLV
 where:
    Type:  1044
    Length:  8 octets
    Flexible Algorithm (Flex Algo):  Single octet value carrying the
       Flexible Algorithm number between 128 and 255 inclusive, as
       defined in [RFC9350].
    Flags:  Single octet value and only applicable for OSPF, as
       defined in [RFC9350].  The value MUST be set to 0 for IS-IS.
    Reserved:  2-octet value that MUST be set to 0 by the originator
       and MUST be ignored by the receiver.
    Metric:  4-octet field to carry the metric information.
 The FAPM TLV that is advertised in the BGP-LS Attribute along with
 the Prefix NLRI from a node is derived from the following IGP
 protocol-specific advertisements:
  • in the case of IS-IS, from the IS-IS Flexible Algorithm Prefix

Metric sub-TLV in [RFC9350]

  • in the case of OSPFv2/OSPFv3, from the OSPF Flexible Algorithm

Prefix Metric sub-TLV in [RFC9350]

 The BGP-LS Attribute associated with a Prefix NLRI may include one or
 more FAPM TLVs corresponding to the Flexible Algorithm Prefix Metric
 for each algorithm associated with that particular prefix.

6. Manageability Considerations

 The new protocol extensions introduced in this document augment the
 existing IGP topology information that can be distributed via
 [RFC7752].  Procedures and protocol extensions defined in this
 document do not affect the BGP protocol operations and management
 other than what is discussed in the "Manageability Considerations"
 section of [RFC7752].  Specifically, the malformed NLRIs attribute
 tests in the "Fault Management" section of [RFC7752] now encompass
 the new TLVs for the BGP-LS NLRI in this document.
 The extensions specified in this document do not specify any new
 configuration or monitoring aspects in BGP or BGP-LS.  The
 specification of BGP models is an ongoing work based on
 [IDR-BGP-MODEL].

7. Security Considerations

 Security considerations for acquiring and distributing BGP-LS
 information are discussed in [RFC7752].
 The TLVs introduced in this document are used to propagate the IGP
 Flexible Algorithm extensions defined in [RFC9350].  It is assumed
 that the IGP instances originating these TLVs will support all the
 required security (as described in [RFC9350]) for Flexible Algorithm
 deployment.
 This document specifies extensions for the advertisement of node and
 prefix-related Flexible Algorithm information.  Tampering with this
 Flexible-Algorithm-related information may affect applications using
 it, including impacting route calculation and programming.  As the
 advertisements defined in this document are related to a specific
 Flexible Algorithm topology, the impact of tampering is similarly
 limited in scope.
