+1. Introduction
+
+ Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) defines both
+ routing and signaling protocols for the creation of Label Switched
+ Paths (LSPs) in various transport technologies. These protocols can
+ be used to support a number of deployment scenarios. In a peer
+ model, edge-nodes support both a routing and a signaling protocol.
+ The protocol interactions between an edge-node and a core-node are
+ the same as between two core-nodes. In the overlay model, the core-
+ nodes act more as a closed system. The edge-nodes do not participate
+ in the routing protocol instance that runs among the core nodes; in
+ particular, the edge-nodes are unaware of the topology of the core-
+ nodes. There may, however, be a routing protocol interaction between
+ a core-node and an edge-node for the exchange of reachability
+ information to other edge-nodes.

+ Figure 1: Overlay Reference Model
+
+ Figure 1 shows a reference network. The core network is represented
+ by the large box in the center. It contains five core-nodes marked
+ 'CN'. The four boxes around the edge marked "Overlay Network"
+ represent four islands of a single overlay network. Only the nodes
+ of this network with TE links into the core network are shown. These
+ nodes are called edge-nodes; the terminology is in respect to the
+ core network, not the overlay network. Note that each box marked
+ "Overlay Network" could contain many other nodes. Such nodes are not
+ shown; they do not participate directly in the signaling described in
+ this document. Only the edge-nodes can signal to set up links across
+ the core to other edge-nodes.
+
+ How a link between edge-nodes is requested and triggered is out of
+ the scope of this document, as is precisely how that link is used by
+ the Overlay Network. One possibility is that the edge-nodes will
+ inform the other nodes of the overlay network of the existence of the
+ link, possibly using a forwarding adjacency as described in
+ [MPLS-HIER]. Note that this contrasts with a forwarding adjacency
+ that is provided by the core network as a link between core-nodes.

+
+RFC 4208 RSVP-TE Support for the Overlay Model October 2005
+
+
+ In the overlay model, there may be restrictions on what may be
+ signaled between an edge-node and a core-node. This memo addresses
+ the application of GMPLS to the overlay model. Specifically, it
+ addresses RSVP-TE procedures between an edge-node and a core-node in
+ the overlay model. All signaling procedures are identical to the
+ GMPLS extensions specified in [RFC3473], except as noted in this
+ document.
+
+ This document primarily addresses interactions between an edge-node
+ and it's adjacent (at the data plane) core-node; out-of-band and
+ non-adjacent signaling capabilities may mean that signaling messages
+ are delivered on a longer path. Except where noted, the term core-
+ node refers to the node immediately adjacent to an edge-node across a
+ particular data plane interface. The term core-nodes, however,
+ refers to all nodes in the core.
+
+ Realization of a single or multiple instance of the UNI is
+ implementation dependent at both the CN and EN so long as it meets
+ the functional requirements for robustness, security, and privacy
+ detailed in Section 7.
+
+ 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].
+
+ Readers are assumed to be familiar with the terminology introduced in
+ [RFC3031], [GMPLS-ARCH], and [RFC3471].
+
+1.1. GMPLS User-Network Interface (GMPLS UNI)
+
+ One can apply the GMPLS Overlay model at the User-Network Interface
+ (UNI) reference point defined in the Automatically Switched Optical
+ Network (ASON) [G.8080]. Consider the case where the 'Core Network'
+ in Figure 1 is a Service Provider network, and the Edge Nodes are
+ 'user' devices. The interface between an EN and a CN is the UNI
+ reference point, and to support the ASON model, one must define
+ signaling across the UNI.
+
+ The extensions described in this memo provide mechanisms for UNI
+ signaling that are compatible with GMPLS signaling [RFC3471,
+ RFC3473]. Moreover, these mechanisms for UNI signaling are in line
+ with the RSVP model; namely, there is a single end-to-end RSVP
+ session for the user connection. The first and last hops constitute
+ the UNI, and the RSVP session carries the user parameters end-to-end.
+ This obviates the need to map (or carry) user parameters to (in) the
+ format expected by the network-to-network interface (NNI) used within
+ the Service Provider network. This in turn means that the UNI and
+ NNI can be independent of one another, which is a requirement of the
+
+
+
+Swallow, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
+
+RFC 4208 RSVP-TE Support for the Overlay Model October 2005
+
+
+ ASON architecture. However, in the case that the UNI and NNI are
+ both GMPLS RSVP-based, the methodology specified in this memo allows
+ for a single RSVP session to instantiate both UNI and NNI signaling,
+ if so desired, and if allowed by Service Provider policy.
+
+2. Addressing
+
+ Addresses for edge-nodes in the overlay model are drawn from the same
+ address space as the edge-nodes use to address their adjacent core-
+ nodes. This may be the same address space as used by the core-nodes
+ to communicate among themselves, or it may be a VPN space supported
+ by the core-nodes as an overlay.
+
+ To be more specific, an edge-node and its attached core-node must
+ share the same address space that is used by GMPLS to signal between
+ the edge-nodes across the core network. A set of <edge-node, core-
+ node> tuples share the same address space if the edge-nodes in the
+ set could establish LSPs (through the core-nodes) among themselves
+ without address mapping or translation (note that edge-nodes in the
+ set may be a subset of all the edge-nodes). The address space used
+ by the core-nodes to communicate among themselves may, but need not,
+ be shared with the address space used by any of the <edge-node,
+ core-node> tuples. This does not imply a mandatory 1:1 mapping
+ between a set of LSPs and a given addressing space.
+
+ When multiple overlay networks are supported by a single core
+ network, one or more address spaces may be used according to privacy
+ requirements. This may be achieved without varying the core-node
+ addresses since it is the <edge-node, core-node> tuple that
+ constitutes address space membership.
+
+ An edge-node is identified by either a single IP address representing
+ its Node-ID, or by one or more numbered TE links that connect the
+ edge-node to the core-nodes. Core-nodes are assumed to be ignorant
+ of any other addresses associated with an edge-node (i.e., addresses
+ that are not used in signaling connections through the GMPLS core).
+
+ An edge-node need only know its own address, an address of the
+ adjacent core-node, and know (or be able to resolve) the address of
+ any other edge-node to which it wishes to connect, as well as (of
+ course) the addresses used in the overlay network island of which it
+ is a part.
+
+ A core-node need only know (and track) the addresses on interfaces
+ between that core-node and its attached edge-nodes, as well as the
+ Node IDs of those edge-nodes. In addition, a core-node needs to know
+ the interface addresses and Node IDs of other edge-nodes to which an
+ attached edge-node is permitted to connect.
+
+
+
+Swallow, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
+
+RFC 4208 RSVP-TE Support for the Overlay Model October 2005
+
+
+ When forming a SENDER_TEMPLATE, the ingress edge-node includes either
+ its Node-ID or the address of one of its numbered TE links. In the
+ latter case the connection will only be made over this interface.
+
+ When forming a SESSION_OBJECT, the ingress edge-node includes either
+ the Node-ID of the egress edge-device or the address of one of the
+ egress' numbered TE links. In the latter case the connection will
+ only be made over this interface. The Extended_Tunnel_ID of the
+ SESSION Object is set to either zero or to an address of the ingress
+ edge-device.
+
+ Links may be either numbered or unnumbered. Further, links may be
+ bundled or unbundled. See [GMPLS-ARCH], [RFC3471], [BUNDLE], and
+ [RFC3477].
+
+3. ERO Processing
+
+ An edge-node MAY include an ERO. A core-node MAY reject a Path
+ message that contains an ERO. Such behavior is controlled by
+ (hopefully consistent) configuration. If a core-node rejects a Path
+ message due to the presence of an ERO, it SHOULD return a PathErr
+ message with an error code of "Unknown object class" toward the
+ sender as described in [RFC3209]. This causes the path setup to
+ fail.
+
+ Further, a core-node MAY accept EROs that only include the ingress
+ edge-node, the ingress core-node, the egress core-node, and the
+ egress edge-node. This is to support explicit label control on the
+ edge-node interface; see below. If a core-node rejects a Path
+ message due to the presence of an ERO that is not of the permitted
+ format, it SHOULD return a PathErr message with an error code of Bad
+ Explicit Route Object as defined in [RFC3209].
+
+3.1. Path Message without ERO
+
+ When a core-node receives a Path message from an edge-node that
+ contains no ERO, it MUST calculate a route to the destination and
+ include that route in an ERO, before forwarding the PATH message.
+ One exception would be if the egress edge-node were also adjacent to
+ this core-node. If no route can be found, the core-node SHOULD
+ return a PathErr message with an error code and value of 24,5 - "No
+ route available toward destination".
+
+3.2. Path Message with ERO
+
+ When a core-node receives a Path message from an edge-node that
+ contains an ERO, it SHOULD verify the route against its topology
+ database before forwarding the PATH message. If the route is not
+
+
+
+Swallow, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
+
+RFC 4208 RSVP-TE Support for the Overlay Model October 2005
+
+
+ viable (according to topology, currently available resources, or
+ local policy), then a PathErr message with an error code and value of
+ 24,5 - "No route available toward destination" should be returned.
+
+3.3. Explicit Label Control
+
+ In order to support explicit label control and full identification of
+ the egress link, an ingress edge-node may include this information in
+ the ERO that it passes to its neighboring core-node. In the case
+ that no other ERO is supplied, this explicit control information is
+ provided as the only hop of the ERO and is encoded by setting the
+ first subobject of the ERO to the node-ID of the egress core-node
+ with the L-bit set; following this subobject are all other subobjects
+ necessary to identify the link and labels as they would normally
+ appear.
+
+ The same rules apply to the presence of the explicit control
+ subobjects as the last hop in the ERO, if a fuller ERO is supplied by
+ the ingress edge-node to its neighbor core-node; but in this case the
+ L-bit MAY be clear.
+
+ This process is described in [RFC3473] and [EXPLICIT].
+
+4. RRO Processing
+
+ An edge-node MAY include an RRO. A core-node MAY remove the RRO from
+ the Path message before forwarding it. Further, the core-node may
+ remove the RRO from a Resv message before forwarding it to the edge-
+ node. Such behavior is controlled by (hopefully consistent)
+ configuration.
+
+ Further, a core-node MAY edit the RRO in a Resv message such that it
+ includes only the subobjects from the egress core-node through the
+ egress edge-node. This is to allow the ingress node to be aware of
+ the selected link and labels on at the far end of the connection.
+
+5. Notification
+
+ An edge-node MAY include a NOTIFY_REQUEST object in both the Path and
+ Resv messages it generates. Core-nodes may send Notify messages to
+ edge-nodes that have included the NOTIFY_REQUEST object.
+
+ A core-node MAY remove a NOTIFY_REQUEST object from a Path or Resv
+ message received from an edge-node before forwarding it.
+
+ If no NOTIFY_REQUEST object is present in the Path or Resv received
+ from an edge-node, the core-node adjacent to the edge-node may
+ include a NOTIFY_REQUEST object and set its value to its own address.
+
+
+
+Swallow, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 4208 RSVP-TE Support for the Overlay Model October 2005
+
+
+ In either of the above cases, the core-node SHOULD NOT send Notify
+ messages to the edge-node.
+
+ When a core-node receives a NOTIFY_REQUEST object from an edge-node,
+ it MAY update the Notify Node Address with its own address before
+ forwarding it. In this case, when Notify messages are received, they
+ MAY be selectively (based on local policy) forwarded to the edge-
+ node.
+
+6. Connection Deletion
+
+6.1. Alarm-Free Connection Deletion
+
+ RSVP-TE currently deletes connections using either a single pass
+ PathTear message, or a ResvTear and PathTear message combination.
+ Upon receipt of the PathTear message, a node deletes the connection
+ state and forwards the message. In optical networks, however, it is
+ possible that the deletion of a connection (e.g., removal of the
+ cross-connect) in a node may cause the connection to be perceived as
+ failed in downstream nodes (e.g., loss of frame, loss of light,
+ etc.). This may in turn lead to management alarms and perhaps the
+ triggering of restoration/protection for the connection.
+
+ To address this issue, the graceful connection deletion procedure
+ SHOULD be followed. Under this procedure, an ADMIN_STATUS object
+ MUST be sent in a Path or Resv message along the connection's path to
+ inform all nodes en route to the intended deletion, prior to the
+ actual deletion of the connection. The procedure is described in
+ [RFC3473].
+
+ If an ingress core-node receives a PathTear without having first seen
+ an ADMIN_STATUS object informing it that the connection is about to
+ be deleted, it MAY pause the PathTear and first send a Path message
+ with an ADMIN_STATUS object to inform all downstream LSRs that the
+ connection is about to be deleted. When the Resv is received echoing
+ the ADMIN_STATUS or using a timer as described in [RFC3473], the
+ ingress core-node MUST forward the PathTear.
+
+6.2. Connection Deletion with PathErr
+
+ [RFC3473] introduces the Path_State_Removed flag to a PathErr message
+ to indicate that the sender has removed all state associated with the
+ LSP and does not need to see a PathTear. A core-node next to an
+ edge-node MAY map between teardown using ResvTear/PathTear and
+ PathErr with Path_state_Removed.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Swallow, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
+
+RFC 4208 RSVP-TE Support for the Overlay Model October 2005
+
+
+ A core-node next to an edge-node receiving a ResvTear from its
+ downstream neighbor MAY respond with a PathTear and send a PathErr
+ with Path_State_Removed further upstream.
+
+ Note, however, that a core-node next to an edge-node receiving a
+ PathErr with Path_State_Removed from its downstream neighbor MUST NOT
+ retain Path state and send a ResvTear further upstream because that
+ would imply that Path state further downstream had also been
+ retained.
+
+7. VPN Connections
+
+ As stated in the addressing section above, the extensions in this
+ document are designed to be compatible with the support of VPNs.
+ Since the core network may be some technology other than GMPLS, no
+ mandatory means of mapping core connections to access connections is
+ specified. However, when GMPLS is used for the core network, it is
+ RECOMMENDED that the following procedure based on [MPLS-HIER] is
+ followed.
+
+ The VPN connection is modeled as being three hops. One for each
+ access link and one hop across the core network.
+
+ The VPN connection is established using a two-step procedure. When a
+ Path message is received at a core-node on an interface that is part
+ of a VPN, the Path message is held until a core connection is
+ established.
+
+ The connection across the core is setup as a separate signaling
+ exchange between the core-nodes, using the address space of the core
+ nodes. While this exchange is in progress, the original Path message
+ is held at the ingress core-node. Once the exchange for the core
+ connection is complete, this connection is used in the VPN connection
+ as if it were a single link. This is signaled by including an IF_ID
+ RSVP_HOP object (defined in [RFC3473]) using the procedures defined
+ in [MPLS-HIER].
+
+ The original Path message is then forwarded within the VPN addressing
+ realm to the core-node attached to the destination edge-node. Many
+ ways of accomplishing this are available, including IP and GRE
+ tunnels and BGP/MPLS VPNs. Specifying a particular means is beyond
+ the scope of this document.

+
+RFC 4208 RSVP-TE Support for the Overlay Model October 2005
+
+
+8. Security Considerations
+
+ The trust model between the core and edge-nodes is different than the
+ one described in [RFC3473], as the core is permitted to hide its
+ topology from the edge-nodes, and the core is permitted to restrict
+ the actions of edge-nodes by filtering out specific RSVP objects.
