+RFC 5553 RSVP Extensions for Path Key Support May 2009
+
+
+Abstract
+
+ The paths taken by Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and
+ Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Traffic Engineering (TE) Label Switched
+ Paths (LSPs) may be computed by Path Computation Elements (PCEs).
+ Where the TE LSP crosses multiple domains, such as Autonomous Systems
+ (ASes), the path may be computed by multiple PCEs that cooperate,
+ with each responsible for computing a segment of the path.
+
+ To preserve confidentiality of topology within each AS, the PCEs
+ support a mechanism to hide the contents of a segment of a path (such
+ as the segment of the path that traverses an AS), called the
+ Confidential Path Segment (CPS), by encoding the contents as a Path
+ Key Subobject (PKS) and embedding this subobject within the result of
+ its path computation.
+
+ This document describes how to carry Path Key Subobjects in the
+ Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) Explicit Route Objects (EROs)
+ and Record Route Objects (RROs) so as to facilitate confidentiality
+ in the signaling of inter-domain TE LSPs.
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS)
+ Traffic Engineering (TE) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) are signaled
+ using the TE extensions to the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP-
+ TE) [RFC3209], [RFC3473]. The routes followed by MPLS and GMPLS TE
+ LSPs may be computed by Path Computation Elements (PCEs) [RFC4655].
+
+ Where the TE LSP crosses multiple domains [RFC4726], such as
+ Autonomous Systems (ASes), the path may be computed by multiple PCEs
+ that cooperate, with each responsible for computing a segment of the
+ path. To preserve confidentiality of topology with each AS, the PCE
+ Communications Protocol (PCEP) [RFC5440] supports a mechanism to hide
+ the contents of a segment of a path, called the Confidential Path
+ Segment (CPS), by encoding the contents as a Path Key Subobject (PKS)
+ [RFC5520].
+
+ This document defines RSVP-TE protocol extensions necessary to
+ support the use of Path Key Subobjects in MPLS and GMPLS signaling by
+ including them in Explicit Route Objects (EROs) and Record Route
+ Object (RROs) so as to facilitate confidentiality in the signaling of
+ inter-domain TE LSPs.

+
+
+1.1. 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 RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
+
+1.2. Usage Scenario
+
+ Figure 1 shows a simple network constructed of two ASes. An LSP is
+ desired from the ingress in AS-1 to the egress in AS-2. As described
+ in [RFC4655], the ingress Label Switching Router (LSR) acts as a Path
+ Computation Client (PCC) and sends a request to its PCE (PCE-1).
+ PCE-1 can compute the path within AS-1 but has no visibility into
+ AS-2. So PCE-1 cooperates with PCE-2 to complete the path
+ computation.
+
+ However, PCE-2 does not want to share the information about the path
+ across AS-2 with nodes outside the AS. So, as described in
+ [RFC5520], PCE-2 reports the AS-2 path segment using a PKS rather
+ than the explicit details of the path.
+
+ PCE-1 can now return the path to be signaled to the ingress LSR in a
+ path computation response with the AS-2 segment still hidden as a
+ PKS.
+
+ In order to set up the LSP, the ingress LSR signals using RSVP-TE and
+ encodes the path reported by PCE-1 in the Explicit Route Object
+ (ERO). This process is as normal for RSVP-TE but requires that the
+ PKS is also included in the ERO, using the mechanisms defined in this
+ document.
+
+ When the signaling message (the RSVP-TE Path message) reaches ASBR-2
+ (Autonomous System Border Router), it consults PCE-2 to 'decode' the
+ PKS and return the expanded explicit path segment to ASBR-2. (The
+ information that PCE-2 uses to decode the PKS is encoded within the
+ PKS itself.) The PKS is replaced in the ERO with the expanded
+ information about the path.

+
+2. Terminology
+
+ CPS: Confidential Path Segment. A segment of a path that contains
+ nodes and links that the AS policy requires to not be disclosed
+ outside the AS.
+
+ PCE: Path Computation Element. An entity (component, application, or
+ network node) that is capable of computing a network path or
+ route based on a network graph and applying computational
+ constraints.
+
+ PKS: Path Key Subobject. A subobject of an Explicit Route Object
+ that encodes a CPS so as to preserve confidentiality.
+
+3. RSVP-TE Path Key Subobject
+
+ The Path Key Subobject (PKS) may be carried in the Explicit Route
+ Object (ERO) of an RSVP-TE Path message [RFC3209]. The PKS is a
+ fixed-length subobject containing a Path Key and a PCE-ID. The Path
+ Key is an identifier or token used to represent the CPS within the
+ context of the PCE identified by the PCE-ID. The PCE-ID identifies
+ the PCE that can decode the Path Key using a reachable IPv4 or IPv6
+ address of the PCE. In most cases, the decoding PCE is also the PCE
+ that computed the Path Key and the associated path. Because of the
+ IPv4 and IPv6 variants, two subobjects are defined as follows.

+
+
+3.1. Explicit Route Object Processing Rules
+
+ The basic processing rules of an ERO are not altered. Refer to
+ [RFC3209] for details. In particular, an LSR is not required to
+ "look ahead" in the ERO beyond the first subobject that is non-local.
+
+ [RFC5520] requires that any path fragment generated by a PCE that
+ contains a PKS be such that the PKS is immediately preceded by a
+ subobject that identifies the head end of the PKS (for example, an
+ incoming interface or a node ID). This rule is extended to the PKS
+ in the ERO so that the following rules are defined.
+
+ - If an LSR receives a Path message where the first subobject of the
+ ERO is a PKS, it MUST respond with a PathErr message carrying the
+ error code/value combination "Routing Problem" / "Bad initial
+ subobject".
+
+ - If an LSR strips all local subobjects from an ERO carried in a Path
+ message (according to the procedures in [RFC3209]) and finds that
+ the next subobject is a PKS, it MUST attempt to resolve the PKS to
+ a CPS.
+
+ Resolution of the PKS MAY take any of the following forms or use
+ some other technique subject to local policy and network
+ implementation.
+
+ o The LSR can use the PCE-ID contained in the PKS to contact the
+ identified PCE using PCEP [RFC5440] and request that the PKS be
+ expanded.
+
+ o The LSR can contact any PCE using PCEP [RFC5440] to request that
+ the PKS be expanded, relying on cooperation between the PCEs.
+
+ o The LSR can use the information in the PKS to index a CPS
+ previously supplied to it by the PCE that originated the PKS.
+
+ If a CPS is derived, the path fragment SHOULD be inserted into the
+ ERO of the Path message as a direct replacement for the PKS. Other
+ processing of the CPS and ERO are permitted as described in
+ [RFC3209].
+
+ This processing can give rise to the following error cases:
+
+ o PCE-ID cannot be matched to a PCE to decode the PKS.
+
+ The LSR sends a PathErr message with the error code "Routing
+ Problem" and the new error value "Unknown PCE-ID for PKS
+ expansion" (see Section 6.3).
+
+
+
+Farrel, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 5553 RSVP Extensions for Path Key Support May 2009
+
+
+ o PCE identified by the PCE-ID cannot be reached.
+
+ The LSR sends a PathErr message with the error code "Routing
+ Problem" and the new error value "Unreachable PCE for PKS
+ expansion" (see Section 6.3).
+
+ o The PCE is unable to decode the PKS, perhaps because the Path Key
+ has expired.
+
+ The LSR sends a PathErr message with the error code "Routing
+ Problem" and the new error value "Unknown Path Key for PKS
+ expansion" (see Section 6.3).
+
+ o PKS cannot be decoded for policy reasons.
+
+ The LSR sends a PathErr message with the error code "Policy
+ Control Failure" and the error value "Inter-domain policy
+ failure".
+
+ o Addition of CPS to ERO causes Path message to become too large.
+
+ The LSR MAY replace part of the ERO with loose hops [RFC3209] or
+ with a further PKS, according to local policy, if the loss of
+ specifics within the explicit path is acceptable. If the LSR is
+ unable to take steps to reduce the size of the ERO, it MUST send
+ a PathErr message with the error code "Routing Problem" and the
+ new error value "ERO too large for MTU" (see Section 6.3).
+
+ - An LSR that is called on to process a PKS within an ERO but that
+ does not recognize the subobject, will react according to [RFC3209]
+ and send a PathErr message with the error code/value combination
+ "Routing Problem" / "Bad Explicit Route Object".
+
+3.2. Reporting Path Key Segments in Record Route Objects
+
+ The Record Route Object (RRO) is used in RSVP-TE to record the route
+ traversed by an LSP. The RRO may be present on a Path message and on
+ a Resv message. The intention of [RFC3209] is that an RRO on a Resv
+ message that is received by an ingress LSR is suitable for use as an
+ ERO on a Path message sent by that LSR to achieve an identical LSP.
+
+ The PKS offers an alternative that can be more useful to diagnostics.
+ When the signaling message crosses a domain boundary, the path
+ segment that needs to be hidden (that is, a CPS) MAY be replaced in
+ the RRO with a PKS. In the case of an RRO on a Resv message, the PKS
+ used SHOULD be the one originally signaled in the ERO of the Path
+ message. On a Path message, the PKS SHOULD identify the LSR
+ replacing the CPS and provide a Path Key that can be used to expand
+
+
+
+Farrel, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
+
+RFC 5553 RSVP Extensions for Path Key Support May 2009
+
+
+ the path segment. In the latter case, the Path Key and its expansion
+ SHOULD be retained by the LSR that performs the substitution for at
+ least the lifetime of the LSP. In both cases, the expansion of the
+ PKS SHOULD be made available to diagnostic tools under the control of
+ local policy.
+
+4. Security Considerations
+
+ The protocol interactions required by the mechanisms described in
+ this document are point-to-point and can be authenticated and made
+ secure as described in [RFC5440] and [RFC3209]. The protocol
+ interactions for PCEP are listed in [RFC5520], while general
+ considerations for securing RSVP-TE in MPLS-TE and GMPLS networks can
+ be found in [MPLS-SEC].
+
+ Thus, security issues can be dealt with using standard techniques for
+ securing and authenticating point-to-point communications. In
+ addition, it is RECOMMENDED that the PCE providing a PKS expansion
+ check that the LSR that issued the request for PKS expansion is the
+ head end of the resulting CPS.
+
+ Further protection can be provided by using a PCE-ID to identify the
+ decoding PCE that is only meaningful within the domain that contains
+ the LSR at the head of the CPS. This may be either an IP address
+ that is only reachable from within the domain or some non-address
+ value. The former requires configuration of policy on the PCEs; the
+ latter requires domain-wide policy.
+
+ The following specific security issues need to be considered.
+
+ - Confidentiality of the CPS. The question to be answered is whether
+ other network elements can probe a PCE for the expansion of PKSs,
+ possibly generating Path Keys at random. This can be protected
+ against by only allowing PKS expansion to be successfully completed
+ if requested by the LSR that is at the head end of the resulting
+ CPS. Under specific circumstances, PKS expansion might also be
+ allowed by configured management stations.
+
+ The CPS itself may be kept confidential as it is exchanged in the
+ PCEP and RSVP-TE protocols using standard security mechanisms
+ defined for those protocols.
+
+ - Determination of information by probing. In addition to the
+ probing described above, a node might deduce information from the
+ error responses that are generated when PKS expansion fails as
+ described in Section 3.1. Any LSR that determines that supplying
+ one of the detailed error codes described in Section 3.1 might
+
+
+
+
+Farrel, et al. Standards Track [Page 9]
+
+RFC 5553 RSVP Extensions for Path Key Support May 2009
+
+
+ provide too much information that could be used as part of a
+ systematic attack MAY simply use the error code/value "Policy
+ Control Failure" / "Inter-domain policy failure" in all cases.
+
+ - Authenticity of the Path Key. A concern is that the Path Key in
+ the PKS will be altered or faked, leading to erroneous Path Key
+ expansion and use of the wrong CPS. The consequence would be a bad
+ ERO in a Path message, causing the LSP to be set up incorrectly and
+ resulting in incorrect network resource usage, diversion of traffic
+ to where it can be intercepted, or failure to set up the LSP.
+ These problems can be prevented by protecting the protocol
+ exchanges in PCEP and RSVP-TE using the security techniques
+ described in [RFC5440], [RFC3209], and [MPLS-SEC].
+
+ - Resilience to denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. A PCE can be
+ attacked through a flood of Path Key expansion requests -- this
+ issue is addressed in [RFC5520] and is out of scope for this
+ document. A further attack might consist of sending a flood of
+ RSVP-TE Path messages with deliberately spurious PKSs. This attack
+ is prevented by ensuring the integrity of the Path messages using
+ standard RSVP-TE security mechanisms and by enforcing the RSVP-TE
+ chain-of-trust security model.
+
+5. Manageability Considerations
+
+5.1. Control of Function through Configuration and Policy
+
+ Policy forms an important part of the use of PKSs in EROs and RROs.
+ There are local and domain-wide policies that SHOULD be available for
+ configuration in an implementation.
+
+ - Handling of an ERO containing a PKS. As described in Section 3.1,
+ an LSR that receives a Path message containing a PKS can be
+ configured to reject the Path message according to policy.
+
+ - Handling of PKS requests at a PCE. As described in Section 3.1, in
+ [RFC5520], and in [RFC5394], a PCE can be configured with policy
+ regarding how it should handle requests for PKS expansion.
+
+ - PKS expansion. Section 3.1 explains that the PKS can be expanded
+ by the local LSR, the specific PCE identified in the PKS, any PCE
+ acting as a proxy, or by some other method. The behavior of the
+ LSR needs to be locally configurable but is subject to the domain-
+ wide policy.
+
+ - Interpretation of PCE-ID. The interpretation of the PCE-ID
+ component of PKSs is subject to domain-local policy and needs to be
+ configurable as such. See Section 3 and Section 4 for the options.
+
+
+
+Farrel, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
+
+RFC 5553 RSVP Extensions for Path Key Support May 2009
+
+
+ - ERO too large. The behavior of an LSR when it finds that adding a
+ CPS to the ERO causes the Path message to be too large is an
+ implementation choice. However, implementations may choose to
+ provide configuration of behavior as described in Section 3.1.
+
+ - Masking of RRO. As described in Section 3.2, a border router can
+ choose to mask segments of the path by replacing them with PKSs.
+ This behavior needs to be configurable, with the default being to
+ not hide any part of the RRO.
+
+ - Inspection / decoding of PKS by diagnostic tools. A PCE can allow
+ access from management or diagnostic tools to request the expansion
+ of a PKS. Note that this must be regulated with the security and
+ confidentiality behavior described in Section 4.
+
+ - Hiding of reason codes. An LSR can support the configuration of
+ local policy to hide reason codes associated with the failure to
+ expand a PKS and, as described in Section 4, report all errors as
+ policy failures.
+
+ The treatment of a path segment as a CPS, and its substitution in a
+ PCRep ERO with a PKS, is a PCE function and is described in
+ [RFC5520].
+
+6. IANA Considerations
+
+6.1. Explicit Route Object Subobjects
+
+ IANA maintains a registry called "Resource Reservation Protocol
+ (RSVP) Parameters" with a subregistry called "Class Names, Class
+ Numbers, and Class Types".
+
+ Within this subregistry, there is a definition of the EXPLICIT_ROUTE
+ object with Class Number 20. The object definition lists a number of
+ acceptable subobjects for the Class Type 1.
+
+ IANA has allocated two further subobjects as described in Section 3.
+ The resulting entry in the registry is as follows.
+
+ 20 EXPLICIT_ROUTE [RFC3209]
+ Class Types or C-Types:
+ 1 Type 1 Explicit Route [RFC3209]
+ Subobject type
+ 64 Path Key with 32-bit PCE-ID [RFC5553]
+ 65 Path Key with 128-bit PCE-ID [RFC5553]
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Farrel, et al. Standards Track [Page 11]
+
+RFC 5553 RSVP Extensions for Path Key Support May 2009
+
+
+ Note well: [RFC5520] defines the PKS for use in PCEP. IANA has
+ assigned the same subobject numbers for use in RSVP-TE as are
+ assigned for the PKS in PCEP. The numbers above are the same as in
+ [RFC5520].
+
+6.2. Record Route Objects Subobjects
+
+ IANA maintains a registry called "Resource Reservation Protocol
+ (RSVP) Parameters" with a subregistry called "Class Names, Class
+ Numbers, and Class Types".
+
+ Within this subregistry, there is a definition of the ROUTE_RECORD
+ object (also known as the RECORD_ROUTE object) with Class Number 21.
+ The object definition lists a number of acceptable subobjects for the
+ Class Type 1.
+
+ IANA has allocated two further subobjects as described in Section 3.
+ The resulting entry in the registry is as follows.
+
+ 21 ROUTE_RECORD [RFC3209]
+ (also known as RECORD_ROUTE)
+ Class Types or C-Types:
+ 1 Type 1 Route Record [RFC3209]
+ Subobject type
+ 64 Path Key with 32-bit PCE-ID [RFC5553]
+ 65 Path Key with 128-bit PCE-ID [RFC5553]
+
+ Note well: IANA is requested to use the same subobject numbers as are
+ defined for the EXPLICIT_ROUTE object in Section 6.1.
+
+6.3. Error Codes and Error Values
+
+ IANA maintains a registry called "Resource Reservation Protocol
+ (RSVP) Parameters" with a subregistry called "Error Codes and
+ Globally-Defined Error Value Sub-Codes".
+
+ Within this subregistry, there is a definition of the "Routing
+ Problem" error code with error code value 24. The definition lists a
+ number of error values that may be used with this error code.
+
+ IANA has allocated further error values for use with this error code
+ as described in Section 3.1. The resulting entry in the registry is
+ as follows.
+
+
+
+
+
