+ Extensions to GMPLS Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP)
+ Graceful Restart
+
+Status of This Memo
+
+ This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
+ Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
+ improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
+ Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
+ and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
+
+Abstract
+
+ This document describes extensions to the Resource Reservation
+ Protocol (RSVP) Graceful Restart mechanisms defined in RFC 3473. The
+ extensions enable the recovery of RSVP signaling state based on the
+ Path message last sent by the node being restarted.
+
+ Previously defined Graceful Restart mechanisms, also called recovery
+ from nodal faults, permit recovery of signaling state from adjacent
+ nodes when the data plane has retained the associated forwarding
+ state across a restart. Those mechanisms do not fully support
+ signaling state recovery on ingress nodes or recovery of all RSVP
+ objects.
+
+ The extensions defined in this document build on the RSVP Hello
+ extensions defined in RFC 3209, and extensions for state recovery on
+ nodal faults defined in RFC 3473. Using these extensions, the
+ restarting node can recover all previously transmitted Path state,
+ including the Explicit Route Object and the downstream (outgoing)
+ interface identifiers. The extensions can also be used to recover
+ signaling state after the restart of an ingress node.
+
+ These extensions are not used to create or restore data plane state.
+
+ The extensions optionally support the use of Summary Refresh, defined
+ in RFC 2961, to reduce the number of messages exchanged during the
+ Recovery Phase when the restarting node has recovered signaling state
+ locally for one or more Label Switched Paths (LSPs).

+RFC 5063 GMPLS RSVP Graceful Restart Extensions October 2007
+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ RSVP Graceful Restart is defined in [RFC3473] and uses mechanisms
+ defined in [RFC3209]. When data/forwarding plane state can be
+ retained across the restart of the RSVP agent that established such
+ state, RSVP Graceful Restart provides the ability for the RSVP agent
+ to resynchronize its state based on updates received from its
+ neighboring RSVP agents, and, reconcile such state with the retained
+ data/forwarding plane state. [RFC3209] describes a mechanism, using
+ RSVP Hello messages, to detect the state of an adjacent RSVP agent.
+ [RFC3473] extends this mechanism to advertise the capability of
+ retaining data/forwarding plane state across the restart of a node or
+ a "nodal fault". [RFC3473] also defines the Recovery Label object
+ for use in the Path message of the RSVP neighbor upstream of a
+ restarting node, to indicate that the Path message is for existing
+ data plane state.
+
+ This document presents extensions to address two aspects of graceful
+ restart not previously supported. The presented extensions enable a
+ restarting node to recover all objects in previously transmitted Path
+ messages, including the Explicit Route Object (ERO), from its
+ downstream neighbors, thus recovering the control plane state. The
+ extensions do not facilitate the recovery or creation of
+ data/forwarding plane state, and can only be used to reestablish
+ control plane state that matches in-place data/forwarding state. The
+ extensions also enable graceful restart of an ingress node that does
+ not preserve full RSVP state across restarts. The presented
+ extensions are equally applicable to LSPs of various switching types
+ as defined in [RFC3471].
+
+ Per [RFC3473], a restarting node can distinguish Path messages
+ associated with LSPs being recovered by the presence of the Recovery
+ Label object. To determine the downstream (outgoing) interface and
+ associated label(s), the restarting node must consult the data plane.
+ This may not be possible for all types of nodes. Furthermore, data
+ plane information is not sufficient to reconstruct all previously
+ transmitted Path state. In these cases, the only source of RSVP
+ state is the downstream RSVP neighbor.
+
+ For example, when the restarting node is an ingress node, all
+ previously transmitted Path state may need to be recovered. Such
+ Path state may include (but is not restricted to) the Protection
+ object, the Admin Status object, the Session Attribute object, the
+ Notify Request object, and the Sender Tspec object. A restarting
+ transit node may have modified received Path state in its previously
+ transmitted Path message, which cannot be reconstructed internally
+ during recovery.
+
+
+
+
+Satyanarayana & Rahman Standards Track [Page 3]
+
+RFC 5063 GMPLS RSVP Graceful Restart Extensions October 2007
+
+
+ Another example of state that cannot be completely recovered from the
+ data plane in some cases is the previously transmitted ERO. Recovery
+ of the previously transmitted ERO minimizes subsequent change of
+ downstream LSP state. On a restarting ingress node, the ERO may have
+ been based on configuration or the result of a previous path
+ computation. A restarting transit node may have previously performed
+ some form of path computation as a result of not receiving an ERO or
+ receiving a loose hop in the ERO. In addition to the ERO, the
+ restarting node may have modified other received Path state in its
+ previously transmitted Path state, which cannot be reconstructed
+ internally during recovery.
+
+ The defined extensions provide a restarting upstream node with all
+ information previously transmitted by the node in Path messages.
+ This is accomplished by the downstream RSVP neighbor sending a new
+ message for every Path message it has previously received from the
+ restarting node, after reestablishing RSVP communication with a
+ restarted node that supports the recovery procedures defined in
+ Section 4.5.2 of this document.
+
+ The new message is called the RecoveryPath message. The message
+ conveys the contents of the last received Path message back to the
+ restarting node. The restarting node can use the RecoveryPath
+ message, along with the state in the received Path message to
+ associate control and data plane state and to validate the forwarding
+ state with the state presented by the neighboring RSVP nodes.
+
+ The restarting node indicates its desire to receive and process the
+ RecoveryPath message by including a new object called the Capability
+ object with the RecoveryPath Desired bit set, in its Hello messages
+ sent to the downstream RSVP neighbor. The downstream RSVP neighbor
+ can indicate its ability to send RecoveryPath messages by including
+ the Capability object with the RecoveryPath Transmit Enabled set in
+ its Hello messages to the restarting node. Thus, both the restarting
+ node and its RSVP neighbor, with the help of the Capability object,
+ can detect if the RecoveryPath message extensions defined in this
+ document can be used to recover signaling state after a restart.
+
+ If the restarting node is a transit node, it will receive a Path
+ message with a Recovery Label object from its upstream RSVP neighbor.
+ In addition, the RecoveryPath message allows such transit nodes to
+ reconstruct any state that was previously dynamically constructed by
+ the node, e.g., ERO sub-objects. If the restarting node is an
+ ingress node, all significant signaling state can be recovered based
+ on the RecoveryPath message.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Satyanarayana & Rahman Standards Track [Page 4]
+
+RFC 5063 GMPLS RSVP Graceful Restart Extensions October 2007
+
+
+ Selective transmission of the RecoveryPath message is supported by
+ enhancing the Summary Refresh mechanisms defined in [RFC2961]. When
+ Recovery Summary Refresh is supported, the restarting node can select
+ the LSPs for which it would like to receive RecoveryPath messages.
+ This is useful when the restarting node is able to locally recover
+ the signaling state for a subset of the previously active LSPs.
+
+ Restarting egress nodes, and Resv message processing are not impacted
+ by the presented extensions, see [RFC3473] for details.
+
+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. Terminology
+
+ The reader is assumed to be familiar with the terminology defined in
+ [RFC3209] and [RFC3473].
+
+ Throughout this document, the term "node", when used in the context
+ of a restarting or restarted node, generally refers to the control
+ plane component, which is the signaling controller for a data plane
+ switch.
+
+4. Extensions to Nodal Fault Handling
+
+ This section presents the protocol modifications to Section 9 of
+ [RFC3473].
+
+4.1. RecoveryPath Message Format
+
+ The format of a RecoveryPath message is the same as the format of a
+ Path message, as defined in [RFC3473], but uses a new message number
+ (30) so that it can be identified correctly.
+
+ <RecoveryPath Message> ::= <Path Message>
+
+ The destination address used in the IP header of a RecoveryPath
+ message MUST be the same as the destination address used in the IP
+ header of the corresponding Resv message last generated by the
+ sending node. Except as specified below, all objects in a
+ RecoveryPath message are identical to the objects in the
+ corresponding Path message last received by the sending node.
+
+

+
+RFC 5063 GMPLS RSVP Graceful Restart Extensions October 2007
+
+
+4.2. Capability Object
+
+ Capability objects are carried in RSVP Hello messages. The
+ Capability object uses Class-Number 134 (of form 10bbbbbb) and C-Type
+ of 1.
+
+ The message format of a Hello message is modified to be:
+
+ <Hello Message> ::= <Common Header> [ <INTEGRITY> ] <HELLO>
+ [ <RESTART_CAP> ] [ <CAPABILITY> ]
+
+ The format of a Capability object is:
+
+ 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
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

+ | Reserved |T|R|S|
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ RecoveryPath Transmit Enabled (T): 1 bit
+
+ When set (1), indicates that the sending node is enabled to
+ send RecoveryPath messages. Absence of the Capability object
+ MUST be treated as if the T-bit is cleared (0).
+
+ RecoveryPath Desired (R): 1 bit
+
+ When set (1), indicates that the sending node desires to
+ receive RecoveryPath messages. Absence of the Capability
+ object MUST be treated as if the R-bit is cleared (0).
+
+ RecoveryPath Srefresh Capable (S): 1 bit
+
+ When set (1), along with the R-bit, indicates that the sending
+ node is capable of receiving and processing Srefresh messages
+ with the RecoveryPath Flag set (1) in the MESSAGE_ID LIST
+ object. Absence of the Capability object MUST be treated as if
+ the S-bit is cleared (0). Related procedures are defined in
+ Section 5.2.1.
+
+ Reserved bits
+
+ Reserved bits MUST be set to zero on transmission and MUST be
+ ignored on receipt.
+
+

+Satyanarayana & Rahman Standards Track [Page 6]
+
+RFC 5063 GMPLS RSVP Graceful Restart Extensions October 2007
+
+
+4.2.1. Conformance
+
+ All nodes supporting the extensions defined in this document MUST be
+ able to transmit, and properly receive and process RecoveryPath
+ messages. All nodes MUST be able to set both the T and R bits. Both
+ the T and R bits SHOULD be set (1) by default. A node MAY allow
+ RecoveryPath message transmission and reception to be independently
+ disabled based on local policy. When RecoveryPath message
+ transmission is disabled, the T-bit MUST be set to zero (0). When
+ RecoveryPath message reception is not desired, the R-bit MUST be set
+ to zero (0).
+
+ Any node that supports the extensions defined in this document and
+ sets the Refresh-Reduction-Capable bit [RFC2961] SHOULD support
+ setting of the S-bit and support the mechanisms defined in Section 5.
+
+4.3. Related Procedures
+
+ This document does not modify existing procedures for sending and
+ receiving RSVP Hello messages, as defined in [RFC3209], and the
+ Restart_Cap object in RSVP Hello messages as defined in [RFC3473].
+ The procedures for control channel faults are defined in [RFC3473]
+ and are not changed by this document.
+
+ The presented extensions require the use of RSVP Hellos, as defined
+ in [RFC3209], and the use of the Restart_Cap object extension as
+ defined in [RFC3473]. The presented extensions address only "Nodal
+ Faults" as defined in [RFC3473]. Control channel faults are fully
+ addressed in [RFC3473].
+
+ Note: There are no changes to the procedures defined in Section 9.5.3
+ in [RFC3473] (Procedures for the Neighbor of a Restarting node).
+ There are no changes to the procedures defined in Section 9.5.2 in
+ [RFC3473] if the restarting node is an egress node.
+
+ There are no changes to the procedures with respect to the
+ data/forwarding plane as described in [RFC3473]. In particular, a
+ restarting node MUST NOT create data/forwarding plane state as the
+ result of any of the extensions defined in this document.
+
+ The following sections assume previously defined procedures are
+ followed, except where explicitly modified.

+
+RFC 5063 GMPLS RSVP Graceful Restart Extensions October 2007
+
+
+4.4. Procedures for the Capability Object
+
+4.4.1. Procedures for the Downstream Neighbor
+
+ If a node is capable of sending RecoveryPath messages, it MUST
+ include the Capability object with the RecoveryPath Transmit Enabled
+ (T) bit set (1) in all its Hello messages.
+
+ If the downstream RSVP neighbor receives Hello messages from a
+ restarting node, with the Restart_Cap object, as defined in
+ [RFC3473], and with the Capability object with the RecoveryPath
+ Desired (R) bit set (1), it MUST treat the restarting node as capable
+ of receiving and processing RecoveryPath messages as defined in this
+ document.
+
+ If the downstream RSVP neighbor receives a Capability object in a
+ Hello message with the RecoveryPath Desired (R) bit set (1), but
+ without the Restart_Cap object, it MUST process the Hello message as
+ if the RecoveryPath Receive Desired (R) bit is cleared (0) in the
+ Hello message.
+
+ If the downstream RSVP neighbor does not receive the Capability
+ object in Hello messages sent by the restarting node or the
+ RecoveryPath Desired (R) bit is cleared (0) in the Capability object,
+ it MUST treat the restarting node as not capable of supporting the
+ RecoveryPath message procedures defined in this document, and MUST
+ revert to recovery procedures as defined in [RFC3473].
+
+4.4.2. Procedures for the Restarting Node
+
+ A node that expects to recover RSVP state by the receipt and
+ processing of RecoveryPath messages according to procedures defined
+ in this document, MUST include the Capability object with the
+ RecoveryPath Desired (R) bit set (1) in its RSVP Hello messages to
+ its neighbors. The node MUST also include the Restart_Cap object, as
+ defined in [RFC3473], in all those Hello messages.
+
+ If the Recovery Time is zero (0) or the restarting node does not
+ support/desire the use of RecoveryPath messages, the RecoveryPath
+ Desired (R) bit MUST be cleared (0) in the Capability object included
+ in Hello messages, or the Capability object MAY be omitted from Hello
+ messages sent by the restarting node.
+
+ During the Recovery Period, if the restarting node receives Hello
+ messages from a downstream RSVP neighbor with the RecoveryPath
+ Transmit Enabled (T) bit set (1) in the Capability object and the
+ Restart_Cap object, as defined in [RFC3473], it MUST treat the
+ downstream RSVP neighbor as capable of sending RecoveryPath messages
+
+
+
+Satyanarayana & Rahman Standards Track [Page 8]
+
+RFC 5063 GMPLS RSVP Graceful Restart Extensions October 2007
+
+
+ according to procedures defined in Section 4.5.1. If the restarting
+ node expects to recover RSVP state by the receipt and processing of
+ RecoveryPath messages, it MUST follow procedures defined in Section
+ 4.5.2, with the downstream RSVP neighbor.
+
+ During the Recovery Period, if the restarting node receives Hello
+ messages from a downstream RSVP neighbor with the RecoveryPath
+ Transmit Enabled (T) bit cleared (0) in the Capability object, or,
+ with the Capability object not present, it MUST treat the downstream
+ RSVP neighbor as not capable of the RecoveryPath message procedures
+ defined in this document, and, it MUST revert to the recovery
+ procedures defined in [RFC3473] immediately, with the downstream RSVP
+ neighbor.
+
+4.5. Procedures for the RecoveryPath Message
+
+4.5.1. Procedures for the Downstream Neighbor
+
+ After a downstream RSVP neighbor has detected that its upstream node
+ has restarted, is capable of recovery as defined in [RFC3473], and,
+ is capable of receiving RecoveryPath messages as defined in Section
+ 4.4, the downstream RSVP neighbor MUST send a RecoveryPath message
+ for each LSP associated with the restarting node for which it has
+ sent a Resv message. During the Recovery Period, if the downstream
+ RSVP neighbor detects that the restarting node is not capable of
+ receiving RecoveryPath messages by the absence of the Capability
+ object or the RecoveryPath Desired (R) bit cleared (0) in the
+ Capability object in the restarting node's Hello messages, the
+ downstream RSVP neighbor SHOULD NOT send the RecoveryPath messages to
+ the restarting node.
+
+ The RecoveryPath message is constructed by copying all objects from
+ the last received associated Path message, with the following
+ exceptions:
+
+ The MESSAGE_ID, MESSAGE_ID_ACK and MESSAGE_ID_NACK objects are not
+ copied. Any MESSAGE_ID, MESSAGE_ID_ACK and MESSAGE_ID_NACK
+ objects used in RecoveryPath messages are generated based on
+ procedures defined in [RFC2961].
+
+ The Integrity object is not copied. Any Integrity objects used in
+ RecoveryPath messages are generated based on procedures defined in
+ [RFC2747].
+
+ The RSVP Hop object is copied from the most recent associated Resv
+ message sent to the restarted node for the LSP being recovered.
+
+
+
+
+
+Satyanarayana & Rahman Standards Track [Page 9]
+
+RFC 5063 GMPLS RSVP Graceful Restart Extensions October 2007
+
+
+ In the sender descriptor, the Recovery Label object MUST be
+ included, with the label value copied from the label value in the
+ Label object in the most recent associated Resv message sent to
+ the restarted node, for the LSP being recovered.
+
+ All other objects from the most recent received Path message MUST be
+ included in the RecoveryPath message.
+
+ All RecoveryPath messages SHOULD be sent at least once within
+ approximately 1/2 of the Recovery Time advertised by the restarted
+ neighbor. If there are many LSPs to be recovered by the restarted
+ node, the downstream RSVP neighbor should avoid sending RecoveryPath
+ messages in a short time interval to avoid overloading the restarted
+ node's CPU. Instead, it should spread the messages across 1/2 the
+ Recovery Time interval. The range of Recovery Time is dependent on
+ many factors including, but not limited to, the CPU processing power
+ on the restarting node as well as the upstream and downstream
+ neighbors, the amount of CPU available for processing RSVP recovery
+ procedures, and the implementation specifics that affect the amount
+ of time taken to verify the received recovery state against existing
+ forwarding plane state. Such discussion is out of scope of this
+ document.
+
+ After sending a RecoveryPath message and during the Recovery Period,
+ the node SHOULD periodically resend the RecoveryPath message until it
+ receives a corresponding response. A corresponding response is a
+ Message ID acknowledgment or a Path message for the LSP the
+ RecoveryPath message represents. Each such resend attempt is at the
+ end of any Message ID rapid retransmissions, if the Message ID
+ mechanism is used. If the Message ID mechanism is not in use, the
+ period between resend attempts SHOULD be such that at least 3
+ attempts are completed before the expiry of 3/4 the Recovery Time
+ interval. Each such resend attempt MUST treat the RecoveryPath
+ message as a new message and update the MESSAGE_ID object according
+ to procedures defined in [RFC2961]. Note, per [RFC3473], Resv
+ messages are suppressed during this recovery period until a
+ corresponding Path message is received.
+
+4.5.2. Procedures for the Restarting Node
+
+ These procedures apply during the "state recovery process" and
+ "Recovery Period" as defined in Section 9.5.2 of [RFC3473]. Any
+ RecoveryPath message received after the Recovery Period has expired
+ SHOULD be matched against local LSP state. If matching fully
+ resynchronized state is located, the node SHOULD send a Path message
+ downstream. If non-resynchronized or no LSP state matching the
+ RecoveryPath message is located, the restarted node MAY send a
+ PathTear message constructed from the RecoveryPath message to
+
+
+
+Satyanarayana & Rahman Standards Track [Page 10]
+
+RFC 5063 GMPLS RSVP Graceful Restart Extensions October 2007
+
+
+ expedite the cleanup of unrecovered RSVP and associated forwarding
+ state downstream of the restarted node. The restarting node MUST NOT
+ create data plane or forwarding state to match the received
+ RecoveryPath message.
+
+ The remaining procedures are broken down into three sub-sections.
+ The term "resynchronized state", originally defined in [RFC3473], is
+ used and modified in these sections. This term refers to LSP state
+ that is fully recovered.
+
+ Signaling state may be recovered from sources other than the
+ mechanisms defined in this document. The restarting node SHOULD
+ consider signaling state as resynchronized for all such LSPs and
+ follow corresponding procedures defined below. Further, recovery
+ procedures defined below may be overridden by local policy.
+
+ Again, there are no changes to the procedures defined in Section
+ 9.5.2 in [RFC3473] if the restarting node is an egress node.
+
+4.5.2.1. Path and RecoveryPath Message Procedures
+
+ When a node receives a RecoveryPath message during the Recovery
+ Period, the node first checks if it has resynchronized RSVP state
+ associated with the message. If there is resynchronized state, and
+ when both reliable message delivery [RFC2961] is supported and a
+ MESSAGE_ID object is present in the RecoveryPath message, the node
+ MUST follow Message ID acknowledgment procedures, as defined in
+ [RFC2961], and consider the message as processed. If there is
+ resynchronized state and there is no MESSAGE_ID object or reliable
+ message delivery [RFC2961] is not supported, the node SHOULD send a
+ trigger Path message, and, consider the message as processed.
+
+ If a non-resynchronized state is found or the node is the ingress,
+ the node saves the information contained in the RecoveryPath message
+ and continues with processing as defined in Section 4.5.2.2.
+
+ If no associated RSVP state is found and the node is not the ingress
+ node, the node saves the information contained in the RecoveryPath
+ message for later use.
+
+ Note the following modifies Section 9.5.2 of [RFC3473]:
+
+ When a node receives a Path message during the Recovery Period, the
+ node first locates any RSVP state associated with the message. If
+ resynchronized RSVP state is found, then the node handles this
+ message according to previously defined procedures.
+
+
+
+
+
+Satyanarayana & Rahman Standards Track [Page 11]
+
+RFC 5063 GMPLS RSVP Graceful Restart Extensions October 2007
+
+
+ If a non-resynchronized state is found, the node saves the
+ information contained in the Path message, including the
+ Recovery_Label object, and continues with processing as defined in
+ Section 4.5.2.2.
+
+ Per [RFC3473], if matching RSVP state is not found, and the message
+ does not carry a Recovery_Label object, the node treats this as a
+ setup for a new LSP, and handles it according to previously defined
+ procedures.
+
+ If a matching RSVP state is not found and the message carries a
+ Recovery_Label object, the node saves the information contained in
+ the Path message, including the Recovery_Label object for later use.
+
+4.5.2.2. Re-Synchronization Procedures
+
+ After receipt of the RecoveryPath message and, for non-ingress LSPs,
+ the corresponding Path message with a Recovery Label object, the
+ restarting node SHOULD locate and associate corresponding forwarding
+ state using the received information. The restarting node associates
+ the corresponding active forwarding plane state from the following
+ signaled information:
+
+ The upstream data interface is recovered from the RSVP HOP object
+ in the received Path message.
+
+ The label on the upstream data interface is recovered from the
+ Recovery Label object in the received Path message. If the LSP is
+ bidirectional, the label for the upstream direction is recovered
+ from the Upstream Label object in the received Path message.
+
+ The downstream data interface is recovered from the RSVP HOP
+ object in the received RecoveryPath message.
+
+ The label on the downstream data interface is recovered from the
+ Recovery Label object in the received RecoveryPath message. If
+ the LSP is bidirectional, the label for the upstream direction is
+ recovered from the Upstream Label object in the RecoveryPath
+ message.
+
+ If complete forwarding state is located, the restarted node MUST
+ treat the LSP as resynchronized and MUST send a trigger Path message
+ downstream. The Explicit Route object in the Path message SHOULD
+ match the Explicit Route object received in the RecoveryPath message.
+ In addition, the restarted node SHOULD recover state from the other
+ objects received in the RecoveryPath message. Optimally, the
+ resulting Path message should not cause any redundant or unnecessary
+ reprocessing of state along the remaining downstream nodes. Ideally,
+

+RFC 5063 GMPLS RSVP Graceful Restart Extensions October 2007
+
+
+ except for MESSAGE_ID processing and recovery processing, the
+ transmitted Path message will be treated as a refresh by the
+ downstream RSVP neighbor (and hence, should not trigger any
+ generation of Path messages with changed state further downstream).
+
+ If no forwarding state is located, the node treats the received Path
+ message as a setup request for a new LSP. The outgoing interface and
+ label(s) indicated in the RecoveryPath message SHOULD be reused when
+ possible. All other information contained in the RecoveryPath
+ message MAY also be used. That is, forwarding state MUST NOT be
+ created except after receipt of a Path message from upstream or, at
+ an ingress node, the receipt of a command from the management plane.
+ Further, the forwarding state created is subject to local policy and
+ the information received from downstream in the RecoveryPath message
+ is treated only as advisory.
+
+4.5.2.3. Procedures on Expiration of Recovery Period
+
+ There are several cleanup steps to follow at the end of the Recovery
+ Period. At the end of the Recovery Period, any state that was
+ installed as the result of a received RecoveryPath message that is
+ not resynchronized SHOULD be discarded.
+
+ Any Path messages that were received containing a Recovery_Label that
+ has not been resynchronized, MUST be treated as being received during
+ the Recovery Period and processed as per [RFC3473].
+
+ Per [RFC3473], any other state that is not resynchronized during the
+ Recovery Period SHOULD be removed at the end of the Period.
+
+4.6. Compatibility
+
+ This document introduces a new RSVP signaling message called the
+ RecoveryPath message to be generated by the downstream RSVP neighbor
+ of a restarting node. To advertise the capability of sending and
+ receiving RecoveryPath messages, this document introduces the
+ Capability object to be included in Hello messages by a restarting
+ node and its downstream RSVP neighbors.
+
+ If a restarting node does not support the Capability object, it will
+ discard the object, as the Class-Number is of the form 10bbbbbb, and
+ revert to recovery processing as defined in [RFC3473]. The
+ restarting node will not include the Capability object in its Hello
+ messages. Hence, all downstream RSVP neighbors that detect that the
+ restarting node is not capable of supporting the extensions defined
+ in this document will not send the RecoveryPath messages to the
+ restarting node and will revert to recovery processing as defined in
+ [RFC3473].
+
+
+
+Satyanarayana & Rahman Standards Track [Page 13]
+
+RFC 5063 GMPLS RSVP Graceful Restart Extensions October 2007
+
+
+ If a downstream RSVP neighbor does not support the Capability object,
+ it will discard the object received in Hello messages and revert to
+ recovery processing as defined in [RFC3473]. The downstream RSVP
+ neighbor will not include the Capability object in its Hello
+ messages. Hence, the restarting node will detect that the downstream
+ RSVP neighbor is not capable of supporting the extensions defined in
+ this document and will revert to recovery processing as defined in
+ [RFC3473].
+
+5. RecoveryPath Summary Refresh
+
+ This section describes a mechanism to control which LSP state is
+ communicated in RecoveryPath messages. This mechanism enhances the
+ Summary Refresh mechanism defined in [RFC2961], and uses the
+ RecoveryPath Srefresh Capable (S) bit in the Capability object, as
+ defined in Section 4.2, carried in the Hello message defined in
+ [RFC3209] and [RFC3473]. The described mechanism is referred to as
+ RecoveryPath Summary Refresh.
+
+ Selective transmission of RecoveryPath messages is controlled much
+ the same way transmission of Path or Resv messages is controlled with
+ standard Summary Refresh, see [RFC2961]. In standard Summary
+ Refresh, an Srefresh message is sent by a node to identify to its
+ neighbor about Path and Resv state that is locally installed and
+ available. The receiver of the Srefresh message can then attempt to
+ locate matching Path and Resv state. If no matching state is found,
+ the receiver can request that the missing state be sent to it by
+ sending an Srefresh NACK to the sender of the Srefresh message. When
+ the Srefresh NACK is received, the corresponding Path or Resv message
+ is sent. MESSAGE_ID information is used to identify Path and Resv
+ state in this process.
+
+ The mechanism described in this section extends the Summary Refresh
+ process to the Path state that can be represented in RecoveryPath
+ messages. In this case, the Srefresh messages represent previously
+ received Path messages, rather than previously transmitted Path
+ messages. This is the primary difference between standard Summary
+ Refresh and RecoveryPath Summary Refresh described in this section.
+
+ When a node restarts, and is capable of supporting the mechanisms
+ described in this section, it includes the Capability object with the
+ RecoveryPath Desired (R) bit set and the RecoveryPath Srefresh
+ Capable (S) bit set in Hello messages it sends to its RSVP neighbors.
+
+ When a neighbor of the restarting node detects a restart (see
+ [RFC3209]), it detects that the restarted node is capable of
+ receiving RecoveryPath messages, as defined in Section 4.4, and that
+ the restarted node is requesting RecoveryPath Srefresh messages by
+
+
+
+Satyanarayana & Rahman Standards Track [Page 14]
+
+RFC 5063 GMPLS RSVP Graceful Restart Extensions October 2007
+
+
+ the RecoveryPath Srefresh Capable (S) bit set in the Capability
+ object. When such an indication is found, the neighbor generates one
+ or more Srefresh messages. Each message indicates the Path state
+ that can be represented in a RecoveryPath message. Within such
+ Srefresh messages, the Path state that can be represented in
+ RecoveryPath messages is represented using MESSAGE_ID information,
+ and this information is communicated within MESSAGE_ID LIST objects.
+ To indicate that the MESSAGE_ID LIST object is for recovery purposes,
+ a new flag is set in the MESSAGE_ID LIST object. This flag is called
+ the RecoveryPath Flag and is defined below.
+
+ The restarted node can then use the Srefresh message and the
+ MESSAGE_ID LIST object to try to identify matching transmitted Path
+ state. The node identifies local state by matching Epoch and Message
+ ID tuples against Path messages transmitted downstream prior to the
+ restart.
+
+ If matching state is located, then the restarted node operates as if
+ a RecoveryPath message has been received, per Section 4.5.2. If no
+ matching state can be located, the restarted node generates a
+ Srefresh NACK, see Section 5.4 of [RFC2961]. The Srefresh NACK is
+ also marked with the new RecoveryPath Flag to indicate that the NACK
+ is related to RecoveryPath messages.
+
+ Upon receiving a Srefresh NACK, the downstream node generates a
+ RecoveryPath message for the Path state indicated by each entry in
+ the MESSAGE_ID LIST. The procedures defined in Section 4 above are
+ then followed by the restarted node and the downstream RSVP neighbor.
+
+5.1. MESSAGE_ID ACK/NACK and MESSAGE_ID LIST Objects
+
+ The MESSAGE_ID ACK/NACK objects and the MESSAGE_ID LIST object,
+ defined in [RFC2961], are updated by this document. A new bit within
+ the existing Flags field of each object is defined. This bit
+ indicates that the object carries MESSAGE_ID information related to
+ Path state that can be recovered using RecoveryPath messages. The
+ same flag value is used in all the objects for consistency.

+
+5.2. RecoveryPath Srefresh Capable Bit
+
+ The Capability object and the RecoveryPath Srefresh Capable (S) bit
+ are defined in Section 4.2.
+
+5.2.1. Procedures
+
+ To support the selective receipt of RecoveryPath messages as defined
+ in this section, a restarting node MUST support the receipt and
+ processing of RecoveryPath messages as defined in Section 4.5.2, and
+ MUST indicate this capability by including the Capability object with
+ the RecoveryPath Desired (R) bit set as defined in Section 4.4.2 in
+ its Hello messages.
+
+ To indicate to an RSVP neighbor that selective transmission of
+ RecoveryPath messages is desired, a node MUST set (1) the S-bit in
+ the Capability object in all Hello messages it sends. When the
+ restarting node does not desire the receipt of RecoveryPath messages
+ (see Section 4.4.2) or the selective transmission mechanism defined
+ in this section, it MUST clear (0) the S-bit in the Capability object
+ if included in Hello messages.
+
+ The downstream RSVP neighbor checks the R-bit and the S-bit upon
+ detecting a restart of a node that supports state recovery with
+ RecoveryPath messages. Detection of neighbor restarts with state
+ recovery using RecoveryPath messages is defined in Section 4. If
+ both the R-bit and the S-bit are set, then the procedures defined
+ below in Section 5.3.1 MUST be followed. If the S-bit is cleared,
+ the downstream RSVP neighbor MUST revert to normal procedures defined
+ in Section 4.5.1. If the R-bit is cleared, but the S-bit is set, the
+
+
+
+
+Satyanarayana & Rahman Standards Track [Page 16]
+
+RFC 5063 GMPLS RSVP Graceful Restart Extensions October 2007
+
+
+ downstream RSVP neighbor MUST treat it as if the Capability object
+ was received with the S-bit cleared. See Section 4.4 for handling of
+ Hello messages without the Capability object.
+
+5.2.2. Compatibility
+
+ There are no compatibility issues introduced in the procedures
+ defined in Section 5.2.1.
+
+ The restarting node will detect that its neighbor does not support
+ selective transmission of RecoveryPath messages when a RecoveryPath
+ message is received prior to the receipt of a Srefresh message
+ containing a MESSAGE_ID LIST object with the RecoveryPath Flag set
+ (1). When this occurs, any received RecoveryPath messages MUST be
+ processed as defined in Section 4.
+
+5.3. RecoveryPath Summary Refresh Procedures
+
+ Related processing occurs in the following logical order:
+
+ o Generation of RecoveryPath-related Srefresh messages
+
+ o RecoveryPath-related Srefresh message receive processing and NACK
+ generation
+
+ o Message ID NACK receive processing and generation of RecoveryPath
+ messages
+
+ o Receive processing of RecoveryPath messages
+
+ Actual processing MAY result in the above occurring in an interlaced
+ fashion when multiple LSPs are being recovered. Both the restarted
+ node and the downstream RSVP neighbor MUST be able to process in this
+ fashion.
+
+5.3.1. Generation of RecoveryPath-Related Srefresh Messages
+
+ A neighbor of a restarting node generates one or more RecoveryPath-
+ related Srefresh messages when the S-bit is set in the restarted
+ node's Hello messages as described in Section 5.2.1. The procedures
+ for generating an Srefresh message are defined in [RFC2961]. Only
+ modifications to these procedures are described in this section.
+ Also, Srefresh message transmit and receive processing may occur
+ simultaneously during the Recovery Period and are not impacted by the
+ procedures defined in this section.
+
+ To generate RecoveryPath-related Srefresh messages, a node must
+ identify which Path state can be represented in RecoveryPath messages
+
+
+
+Satyanarayana & Rahman Standards Track [Page 17]
+
+RFC 5063 GMPLS RSVP Graceful Restart Extensions October 2007
+
+
+ and which Srefresh message or messages can be used to carry the
+ related information. As previously mentioned, the Path state that
+ can be represented in RecoveryPath messages is indicated in Srefresh
+ messages using the MESSAGE_ID information from the most recently
+ received Path message associated with the state.
+
+ After processing the S-bit as described in Section 5.2.1, the node
+ identifies all state associated with Path messages received from the
+ restarted neighbor. Only a Path state that has not been updated
+ since the restart may be represented in the Srefresh messages.
+ Received Path state containing a MESSAGE_ID object whose Epoch value
+ matches the Epoch received in the most recent Hello message is
+ considered as updated after the upstream neighbor has restarted.
+ Such Path state MUST NOT be represented in the Srefresh messages.
+ Each Srefresh message contains one or more MESSAGE_ID LIST objects.
+ Each such MESSAGE_ID LIST object MUST have the RecoveryPath Flag set
+ (1).
+
+ Multiple MESSAGE_ID LIST objects MAY be included in order to
+ accommodate multiple Epoch values. The MESSAGE_ID LIST objects
+ represent the identified, non-updated, Path state. A
+ Message_Identifier field created for each identified, non-updated
+ Path state MUST be included in an appropriate MESSAGE_ID LIST object.
+ The Message_Identifier field is created based on the MESSAGE_ID
+ object from the most recently received Path message associated with
+ identified Path state. If any identified Path state does not have an
+ associated MESSAGE_ID object, this state MUST be processed as defined
+ above in Section 4.5.1.
+
+ The source IP address for the Srefresh message SHOULD be the source
+ IP address in the IP header of the corresponding Resv messages
+ previously sent to the restarted node. The Srefresh message SHOULD
+ be destined to the IP address in the HOP object in the corresponding
+ Path messages. This may result in multiple Srefresh messages being
+ generated. Per [RFC2961], implementations may choose to limit each
+ Srefresh message to the MTU size of the outgoing link, and to not
+ bundle Srefresh messages. RecoveryPath-related Srefresh messages
+ SHOULD be sent using reliable delivery, as defined in [RFC2961].
+
+ During the Recovery Period, unacknowledged RecoveryPath-related
+ Srefresh messages SHOULD be periodically transmitted. The
+ retransmission algorithm used can be the same algorithm used for
+ retransmitting RecoveryPath messages during the Recovery Period (see
+ Section 4.5.1). Note that prior to each such periodic
+ retransmission, the Srefresh message SHOULD be updated to exclude the
+ Message ID's of Path state that has been updated by the receipt of a
+ Path message.
+
+
+
+
+Satyanarayana & Rahman Standards Track [Page 18]
+
+RFC 5063 GMPLS RSVP Graceful Restart Extensions October 2007
+
+
+ To allow sufficient processing time for the restarted node, the
+ downstream RSVP neighbor MAY choose to generate multiple
+ RecoveryPath-related Srefresh messages containing partial but
+ mutually exclusive sets of Message Identifiers spread across 1/4 of
+ the Recovery Time advertised by the restarted node.
+
+5.3.2. RecoveryPath-Related Srefresh Receive Processing and NACK
+ Generation
+
+ Upon receiving an Srefresh message containing a MESSAGE_ID LIST
+ object with the RecoveryPath Flag set), the restarted node attempts
+ to locate matching previously transmitted Path state. The Epoch in
+ the MESSAGE_ID LIST object, along with each Message Identifier in the
+ object, is used to match against the MESSAGE_ID object in Path
+ messages previously transmitted to the downstream RSVP neighbor. For
+ each Message Identifier in the MESSAGE_ID LIST:
+
+ If matching transmitted Path state is found, the restarting node
+ treats the corresponding LSP state as having received and
+ processed a RecoveryPath message and perform any further
+ processing necessary as defined in Section 4.5.2. Specifically,
+ it MUST generate a trigger Path message for the LSP as defined in
+ Section 4.5.2.2. The restarted node MAY spread the transmission
+ of such trigger Path messages across 1/2 of the remaining Recovery
+ Period to allow the downstream RSVP neighbor sufficient processing
+ time.
+
+ If matching transmitted Path state is not found, the restarting
+ node MUST generate a MESSAGE_ID NACK as defined in [RFC2961].
+ Each generated MESSAGE_ID NACK MUST have the RecoveryPath Flag set
+ (1).
+
+ It is recommended that the restarted node combine multiple such
+ MESSAGE_ID NACKs into a single ACK message, per [RFC2961].
+
+5.3.3. RecoveryPath-Related MESSAGE_ID NACK Receive Processing
+
+ This section defines the procedures associated with the processing of
+ received MESSAGE_ID NACKs that have the RecoveryPath Flag set (1).
+ Procedures for processing of MESSAGE_ID NACKs without the
+ RecoveryPath Flag present are defined in [RFC2961] and not modified
+ in this document. Processing of MESSAGE_ID NACKs with the
+ RecoveryPath Flag set (1) also follows procedures defined in
+ [RFC2961] unless explicitly modified in this section.
+
+ For each MESSAGE_ID NACK with the RecoveryPath Flag set (1), the
+ downstream RSVP neighbor must locate the matching received Path
+ message. If a matching Path message is found, the downstream RSVP
+
+
+
+Satyanarayana & Rahman Standards Track [Page 19]
+
+RFC 5063 GMPLS RSVP Graceful Restart Extensions October 2007
+
+
+ neighbor MUST generate a RecoveryPath message as defined in Section
+ 4.5.1. If a matching Path message is not found, the MESSAGE_ID NACK
+ is ignored. An example where this may occur is when the restarted
+ node has already generated an updated Path message after its restart.
+
+6. Security Considerations
+
+ This document introduces a new RSVP message that is restricted to one
+ RSVP hop. This document introduces no new security considerations
+ beyond those already addressed for existing RSVP hop-by-hop messages.
+
+ This document introduces a new RSVP object to be included in RSVP
+ Hello messages. This document introduces no new security
+ considerations beyond those already addressed for existing objects in
+ RSVP Hello messages.
+
+ This document introduces new procedures to be performed on RSVP
+ agents that neighbor a restarting RSVP agent. In situations where
+ the control plane in general, and the RSVP agent in particular, of a
+ node carrying one or more LSPs is restarted due to external attacks,
+ the procedures introduced in this document provide the ability for
+ the restarting RSVP agent to recover the RSVP state corresponding to
+ the LSPs with the least possible perturbation to the rest of the
+ network. Ideally, only the neighboring RSVP agents should notice the
+ restart and hence need to perform additional processing. This allows
+ for a network with active LSPs to recover LSP state gracefully from
+ an external attack without perturbing the data/forwarding plane
+ state.
+
+ [RFC2747] provides mechanisms to protect against external agents
+ compromising the RSVP signaling state in an RSVP agent. These
+ mechanisms, when used with the new message and procedures introduced
+ in this document, provide the same degree of protection to the
+ restarting RSVP agent against installing compromised signaling state
+ from an external agent during its RSVP signaling state recovery.
+
+ Note that the procedures assume a full trust model between RSVP
+ neighbors. That is, although the protocol exchanges before and after
+ restart can be secured, and although it is possible to authenticate
+ the identity of the neighbors, no mechanism is provided to verify
+ that the restart information is correctly mapped from the protocol
+ information exchanged before the restart. This is considered
+ acceptable because a similar trust model is required for normal
+ operation of the protocol.
+
+ The procedures defined in this document introduce additional
+ processing overhead for the RSVP agents that neighbor a restarting
+ RSVP agent. If an RSVP agent restarts due to external attacks, such
+
+
+
+Satyanarayana & Rahman Standards Track [Page 20]
+
+RFC 5063 GMPLS RSVP Graceful Restart Extensions October 2007
+
+
+ added processing on the neighboring RSVP agents may impact their
+ ability to perform other control plane tasks, including any
+ processing for other LSPs that do not involve the restarting node.
+ Such impact can be minimalized by the restarting RSVP agent using a
+ large enough Recovery Time, so that its neighbors are provided
+ sufficient time to handle the additional processing involved while
+ continuing to perform their other control plane functions normally
+ during the Recovery Period.
+
+ Note that the procedures defined in this document cannot be used to
+ create false forwarding state. The restarting node that receives a
+ RecoveryPath message that does not match the existing forwarding
+ state MUST NOT create or modify its forwarding state to match. A
+ restarting node SHOULD log such an event or otherwise notify the
+ operator since it might represent an attack.

+ Farrel, Nick Neate, and Pavan Beeram for their helpful comments and
+ feedback.
+
+ Derek Atkins provided useful discussion during SecDir review. Sam

+
+8. IANA Considerations
+
+ [RFC2205] defines the Class-Number name space for RSVP objects. The
+ name space is managed by IANA.
+
+ A new RSVP object using a Class-Number of form 10bbbbbb called the
+ Capability Object is defined in Section 4.2 in this document. The
+ Class-Number is 134.
+
+ A new RSVP message type called a RecoveryPath message is defined in
+ Section 4.1 of this document. The RSVP message type is 30.
+
+ This document creates a new name space in the Capability object
+ defined in Section 4.2. The new name space is a 32-bit-wide field.
+ New registrations in this name space are to be allocated by IANA
+ through an IETF Consensus action, per [RFC2434]. IANA also serves as
+ the repository for this name space.
