+RFC 7133 Data Link Layer Information Elements May 2014
+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ Ethernet [IEEE802.1D] and VLAN (Virtual LAN) technologies had been
+ used only in Local Area Networks. Recently, they have been used in
+ Wide Area Networks, e.g., Layer 2 VPN (L2 VPN) services.
+ Accordingly, carrier networks using VLAN technologies have been
+ enhanced to Provider Bridged Networks and Provider Backbone Bridged
+ Networks [IEEE802.1Q]. In addition, Ethernet in data centers has
+ also been enhanced for server virtualization and input/output (I/O)
+ consolidation.
+
+ While these innovations provide flexibility, scalability, and
+ mobility to an existing network architecture, they increase the
+ complexity of traffic measurement due to the existence of various
+ Ethernet header formats. To cope with this, a more sophisticated
+ method of traffic measurement is required.
+
+ IPFIX and Packet Sampling (PSAMP) help to resolve these problems.
+ However, the PSAMP Information Model [RFC5477] and the IPFIX
+ Information Model [RFC7011] don't yet contain enough Information
+ Elements related to the data link layer, e.g., Ethernet header forms.
+ This document describes existing and new Information Elements related
+ to data link layers that enable a more sophisticated traffic
+ measurement method.
+
+ Note that this document does not update [RFC5477] or [RFC7011]
+ because IANA's IPFIX registry [IANA-IPFIX] is the ultimate
+ Information Element reference, per Section 1 of [RFC7012].
+
+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].
+
+2. Extended Ethernet Technology
+
+2.1. Wide-Area Ethernet Technology Summary
+
+ Provider Bridge and Provider Backbone Bridge [IEEE802.1Q], which are
+ standards for Wide-Area Ethernet, are described below.
+
+ o In Provider Bridge [IEEE802.1Q], there are two VLAN IDs: Service
+ VLAN Identifier (S-VID) and Customer VLAN Identifier (C-VID).
+ S-VID is assigned to an Ethernet frame by a service provider,
+ while C-VID is independently assigned to an Ethernet frame by a
+ customer. Frame switching in a service provider network is based
+ on only S-VID.
+
+
+
+Kashima, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
+
+RFC 7133 Data Link Layer Information Elements May 2014
+
+
+ o In Provider Backbone Bridge [IEEE802.1Q], new Ethernet fields,
+ such as Backbone VLAN Identifier (B-VID) and Backbone Service
+ Instance Identifier (I-SID), are introduced to overcome the
+ limitations on the VLAN identifier space and to isolate the
+ service provider and customer identifier spaces. Frame switching
+ is based on a 12-bit B-VID, and customer identification is based
+ on a 24-bit I-SID. A flexible network design has become possible
+ because network management is separated from customer management.
+ Other Ethernet fields that indicate quality of service (QoS) class
+ are Backbone VLAN Priority Code Point (B-PCP), Backbone VLAN Drop
+ Eligible Indicator (B-DEI), Backbone Service Instance Priority
+ Code Point (I-PCP), and Backbone Service Instance Drop Eligible
+ Indicator (I-DEI).
+
+ The Provider Backbone Bridge technologies have enhanced a Wide-Area
+ Ethernet service from a flat network to a hierarchical network
+ consisting of a Provider Bridged Network and Provider Backbone
+ Bridged Network.
+
+ Frame formats used in Wide-Area Ethernet are shown in Appendix A.
+
+2.2. Virtual Ethernet Technology Summary
+
+ There have been several challenges in the existing virtual switches
+ environment in a data center. One is the lack of network management
+ visibility: limited features on virtual switches make it difficult to
+ monitor traffic among virtual machines (VMs). Another is the lack of
+ management scalability and flexibility: increasing the number of VMs
+ for multi-tenant architecture causes an increase in the number of
+ virtual switches and in the number of the traffic control policies,
+ which reach the limitations of network management scalability and
+ flexibility.
+
+ In this situation, the IEEE 802.1 working group is standardizing
+ virtual bridging technologies such as Edge Virtual Bridging (EVB),
+ including two kinds of Edge Relays: Virtual Edge Bridge (VEB) and
+ Virtual Edge Port Aggregator (VEPA) [IEEE802.1Qbg]. The VEB is a
+ bridge that provides bridging among multiple VMs and the external
+ bridging environment. The VEPA is a bridge-like device on a host
+ that forwards all internal traffic to the adjacent EVB bridge and
+ then distributes any traffic received from the adjacent EVB bridge to
+ VMs. The VEPA makes all the VM-to-VM traffic visible to the EVB
+ bridge so that the traffic can be monitored and so that the EVB
+ bridge can apply filtering to the traffic.
+
+ To improve flexibility, a virtual link between a host system and EVB
+ bridge is standardized as S-channel. S-channel allows a bridge to
+ treat the traffic in the virtual link as if it comes in on a separate
+
+
+
+Kashima, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
+
+RFC 7133 Data Link Layer Information Elements May 2014
+
+
+ port. For example, in the host, an S-channel may be attached to a
+ VEB or a VEPA or directly to an internal port in order to apply each
+ port-based filtering rule to the traffic. S-channel over the link
+ between a host and its adjacent bridge uses Service VLAN Tag (S-TAG)
+ [IEEE802.1Q]. When S-channel is in use, frames on the link carry an
+ S-TAG to identify the S-channel.
+
+ On the other hand, Bridge Port Extension emulates single Extended
+ Bridge from multiple physical switches and virtual switches, and it
+ also simplifies network management. Also, it solves the lack of
+ network management visibility by forwarding all traffic into a
+ central Controlling Bridge using E-channel. E-channel over the link
+ between a Bridge Port Extender and a Controlling Bridge uses E-TAG
+ defined in [IEEE802.1BR].
+
+ Traffic monitoring over S-channel and E-channel is required in order
+ to get visibility of VM-to-VM traffic and visibility of each
+ channel's traffic on a virtual link.
+
+ Frame formats with E-TAG used in E-channel and S-TAG used in
+ S-channel are shown in Appendix A. Though these frames carry special
+ tags while on the link, those tags identify a virtual port (or for
+ multicast in the downstream direction, a set of virtual ports) to
+ which they are destined. These tag values only have local meaning,
+ and the Flow would be reported as sent and arriving on the
+ corresponding virtual ports. Therefore, IPFIX does not need to
+ monitor data based on these tags.
+
+3. Modification and Addition of Information Elements Related to Data
+ Link Layer
+
+ The Information Elements listed in the upper section of Table 1 are
+ necessary for enabling IPFIX and PSAMP traffic measurement for the
+ data link layer, which is not limited to Ethernet because the method
+ can be applied to other data link protocols as well.
+
+ Information Elements in the middle section of Table 1 are necessary
+ for enabling the IPFIX and PSAMP traffic measurement for
+ [IEEE802.1Q].
+
+ Information Elements in the lower section of Table 1 are octet
+ counter or packet length for layer 2, and they are necessary for
+ enabling IPFIX and PSAMP traffic measurement for the data link layer.

+
+3.1. Existing Information Elements
+
+ Some existing Information Elements are required for data link layer
+ export. Their details are reproduced here from IANA's IPFIX registry
+ [IANA-IPFIX]. Additions per this document appear between *.
+
+ Section 3.1.1 introduces the missing Data Type Semantics for the
+ dataLinkFrameSize Information Element, which is held to be an
+ interoperable change per #4 in Section 5.2 of [RFC7013].
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Kashima, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 7133 Data Link Layer Information Elements May 2014
+
+
+ Section 3.1.2 extends the definition of the dataLinkFrameSection
+ Information Element with reference to the new sectionOffset
+ Information Element, which is also an interoperable change per #4 in
+ Section 5.2 of [RFC7013].
+
+ The layer2OctetDeltaCount Information Element reports the number of
+ layer 2 octets since the previous report in incoming packets for this
+ Flow, while the layer2OctetTotalCount Information Element reports the
+ total number of layer 2 octets in incoming packets for this Flow.
+ The layer2FrameDeltaCount Information Element reports the number of
+ incoming layer 2 frames since the previous report for this Flow,
+ while layer2FrameTotalCount Information Element reports the total
+ number of incoming layer 2 frames for this Flow. All of these
+ Information Elements are unchanged from the existing IANA
+ [IANA-IPFIX] definitions, and are reproduced in Section 3.1.3 through
+ Section 3.1.6 below for completeness.
+
+ Therefore, these changes do not introduce any backward-compatibility
+ issues.
+
+ Per Section 5.2 of [RFC7013], for each of these changes, [RFC7133]
+ has been appended to the requester in IANA's IPFIX registry
+ [IANA-IPFIX], the Information Element's revision number has been
+ incremented by one, and the Information Element's revision date
+ column has been updated.
+
+3.1.1. dataLinkFrameSize
+
+ Description:
+
+ This Information Element specifies the length of the selected data
+ link frame.
+

+
+
+3.1.2. dataLinkFrameSection
+
+ Description:
+
+ This Information Element carries n octets from the data link frame
+ of a selected frame, starting sectionOffset octets into the frame.
+
+ *However, if no sectionOffset field corresponding to this
+ Information Element is present, then a sectionOffset of zero
+ applies, and the octets MUST be from the start of the data link
+ frame.*
+
+ The sectionExportedOctets expresses how much data was observed,
+ while the remainder is padding.
+
+ When the sectionExportedOctets field corresponding to this
+ Information Element exists, this Information Element MAY have a
+ fixed length and MAY be padded, or it MAY have a variable length.
+
+ When the sectionExportedOctets field corresponding to this
+ Information Element does not exist, this Information Element
+ SHOULD have a variable length and MUST NOT be padded. In this
+ case, the size of the exported section may be constrained due to
+ limitations in the IPFIX protocol.
+
+ Further Information Elements, i.e., dataLinkFrameType and
+ dataLinkFrameSize, are needed to specify the data link type and
+ the size of the data link frame of this Information Element. A
+ set of these Information Elements MAY be contained in a structured
+ data type, as expressed in [RFC6313]. Or a set of these
+ Information Elements MAY be contained in one Flow Record as shown
+ in Appendix B of [RFC7133].

+
+ The following data link types are defined here:
+

+ This Information Element specifies the offset of the packet
+ section (e.g., dataLinkFrameSection, ipHeaderPacketSection,
+ ipPayloadPacketSection, mplsLabelStackSection, and
+ mplsPayloadPacketSection). If this Information Element is
+ omitted, it defaults to zero (i.e., no offset).
+
+ If multiple sectionOffset Information Elements are specified
+ within a single Template, then they apply to the packet section
+ Information Elements in order: the first sectionOffset applies to
+ the first packet section, the second to the second, and so on.
+ Note that the "closest" sectionOffset and packet section
+
+
+
+Kashima, et al. Standards Track [Page 12]
+
+RFC 7133 Data Link Layer Information Elements May 2014
+
+
+ Information Elements within a given Template are not necessarily
+ related. If there are fewer sectionOffset Information Elements
+ than packet section Information Elements, then subsequent packet
+ section Information Elements have no offset, i.e., a sectionOffset
+ of zero applies to those packet section Information Elements. If
+ there are more sectionOffset Information Elements than the number
+ of packet section Information Elements, then the additional
+ sectionOffset Information Elements are meaningless.

+ ipPayloadPacketSection, mplsLabelStackSection, and
+ mplsPayloadPacketSection) when padding is used.
+
+ The packet section may be of a fixed size larger than the

+4. Modification of Existing Information Elements Related to Packet
+ Section
+
+ The new Information Elements related to packet section (i.e.,
+ sectionOffset and sectionExportedOctets) can be applied to not only
+ dataLinkFrameSection but also to all kinds of packet section (i.e.,
+ ipHeaderPacketSection, ipPayloadPacketSection, mplsLabelStackSection,
+ and mplsPayloadPacketSection defined in [RFC5477]). Therefore,
+ existing Information Elements Descriptions should be modified as
+ follows.
+
+4.1. ipHeaderPacketSection
+
+ This Information Element is defined in [RFC5477]. The description
+ has been updated from [RFC5477].
+
+ Description:
+
+ This Information Element carries a series of n octets from the IP
+ header of a sampled packet, starting sectionOffset octets into the
+ IP header.
+
+ However, if no sectionOffset field corresponding to this
+ Information Element is present, then a sectionOffset of zero
+ applies, and the octets MUST be from the start of the IP header.
+
+ With sufficient length, this element also reports octets from the
+ IP payload. However, full packet capture of arbitrary packet
+ streams is explicitly out of scope per the Security Considerations
+ sections of [RFC5477] and [RFC2804].
+
+ The sectionExportedOctets expresses how much data was exported,
+ while the remainder is padding.
+
+ When the sectionExportedOctets field corresponding to this
+ Information Element exists, this Information Element MAY have a
+ fixed length and MAY be padded, or it MAY have a variable length.
+
+ When the sectionExportedOctets field corresponding to this
+ Information Element does not exist, this Information Element
+ SHOULD have a variable length and MUST NOT be padded. In this
+ case, the size of the exported section may be constrained due to
+ limitations in the IPFIX protocol.

+
+ Status: current
+
+4.2. ipPayloadPacketSection
+
+ This Information Element is defined in [RFC5477]. The description is
+ updated from [RFC5477].
+
+ Description:
+
+ This Information Element carries a series of n octets from the IP
+ payload of a sampled packet, starting sectionOffset octets into
+ the IP payload.
+
+ However, if no sectionOffset field corresponding to this
+ Information Element is present, then a sectionOffset of zero
+ applies, and the octets MUST be from the start of the IP payload.
+
+ The IPv4 payload is that part of the packet that follows the IPv4
+ header and any options, which [RFC0791] refers to as "data" or
+ "data octets". For example, see the examples in [RFC0791],
+ Appendix A.
+
+ The IPv6 payload is the rest of the packet following the 40-octet
+ IPv6 header. Note that any extension headers present are
+ considered part of the payload. See [RFC2460] for the IPv6
+ specification.
+
+ The sectionExportedOctets expresses how much data was observed,
+ while the remainder is padding.
+
+ When the sectionExportedOctets field corresponding to this
+ Information Element exists, this Information Element MAY have a
+ fixed length and MAY be padded, or it MAY have a variable length.
+
+ When the sectionExportedOctets field corresponding to this
+ Information Element does not exist, this Information Element
+ SHOULD have a variable length and MUST NOT be padded. In this
+ case, the size of the exported section may be constrained due to
+ limitations in the IPFIX protocol.

+4.3. mplsLabelStackSection
+
+ This Information Element is defined in [RFC5477]. The description is
+ updated from [RFC5477].
+
+ Description:
+
+ This Information Element carries a series of n octets from the
+ MPLS label stack of a sampled packet, starting sectionOffset
+ octets into the MPLS label stack.
+
+ However, if no sectionOffset field corresponding to this
+ Information Element is present, then a sectionOffset of zero
+ applies, and the octets MUST be from the head of the MPLS label
+ stack.
+
+ With sufficient length, this element also reports octets from the
+ MPLS payload. However, full packet capture of arbitrary packet
+ streams is explicitly out of scope per the Security Considerations
+ sections of [RFC5477] and [RFC2804].
+
+ See [RFC3031] for the specification of MPLS packets.
+
+ See [RFC3032] for the specification of the MPLS label stack.
+
+ The sectionExportedOctets expresses how much data was observed,

+
+ Description:
+
+ The mplsPayloadPacketSection carries a series of n octets from the
+ MPLS payload of a sampled packet, starting sectionOffset octets
+ into the MPLS payload, as it is data that follows immediately
+ after the MPLS label stack.
+
+ However, if no sectionOffset field corresponding to this

+ applies, and the octets MUST be from the start of the MPLS

+5. Modification of Existing Information Elements Related to VLAN Tag
+
+ The traffic measurement using IPFIX and PSAMP for a Provider Backbone
+ Bridged Network requires the Information Elements related to Backbone
+ Service Instance Tag (I-TAG) and Backbone VLAN Tag (B-TAG). The set
+ of Information Elements related to I-TAG is added in Section 3,
+ because I-TAG structure and semantics are different from that of
+ Service VLAN Tag (S-TAG) and Customer VLAN Tag (C-TAG). The set of
+ Information Elements related to B-TAG reuses the existing Information
+ Elements, because B-TAG structure and semantics are identical to that
+ of C-TAG and S-TAG. This section modifies existing descriptions and
+ references related to C-TAG and S-TAG as follows.
+
+5.1. dot1qVlanId
+
+ Description:
+
+ The value of the 12-bit VLAN Identifier portion of the Tag Control
+ Information field of an Ethernet frame. The structure and
+ semantics within the Tag Control Information field are defined in
+ [IEEE802.1Q]. In Provider Bridged Networks, it represents the
+ Service VLAN identifier in the Service VLAN Tag (S-TAG) Tag
+ Control Information (TCI) field or the Customer VLAN identifier in
+ the Customer VLAN Tag (C-TAG) Tag Control Information (TCI) field
+ as described in [IEEE802.1Q]. In Provider Backbone Bridged
+ Networks, it represents the Backbone VLAN identifier in the
+ Backbone VLAN Tag (B-TAG) Tag Control Information (TCI) field as
+ described in [IEEE802.1Q]. In a virtual link between a host
+ system and EVB bridge, it represents the Service VLAN identifier
+ indicating S-channel as described in [IEEE802.1Qbg].
+
+ In the case of a multi-tagged frame, it represents the outer tag's
+ VLAN identifier, except for I-TAG.

+ Information field of an Ethernet frame. The structure and
+ semantics within the Tag Control Information field are defined in
+ [IEEE802.1Q]. In the case of a multi-tagged frame, it represents
+ the 3-bit Priority Code Point (PCP) portion of the outer tag's Tag
+ Control Information (TCI) field as described in [IEEE802.1Q],
+ except for I-TAG.

+7. Security Considerations
+
+ Reporting more granular data may increase the risk of DoS attacks
+ against a Collector. Protection against DoS attacks is discussed in
+ Section 11.4 of [RFC7011].
+
+ The recommendations in this document do not otherwise introduce any
+ additional security issues beyond those already mentioned in
+ [RFC7011] and [RFC5477].
+
+8. IANA Considerations
+
+ Existing IPFIX Information Elements [IANA-IPFIX] have been modified
+ as indicated in Sections 3.1, 4, and 5.
+
+ Per Section 5.2 of [RFC7013], for each of these changes, [RFC7133]
+ has been appended to the Requester in IANA's IPFIX registry
+ [IANA-IPFIX], the Information Element's Revision number has been
+ incremented by one, and the Information Element's revision Date
+ column has been updated.
+
+ New IPFIX Information Elements [IANA-IPFIX] have been allocated as
+ shown in Section 3.2.
