Introduction + + Seamless Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (S-BFD) [RFC7880] defines + a simplified mechanism to use Bidirectional Forwarding Detection + (BFD) [RFC5880] with large portions of negotiation aspects + eliminated, thus providing benefits such as quick provisioning as + well as improved control and flexibility to network nodes initiating + the path monitoring. + + For the monitoring of a service path end to end via S-BFD, the + headend node (i.e., Initiator) needs to know the S-BFD Discriminator + of the destination/tail-end node (i.e., Responder) of that service. + The link-state routing protocols (IS-IS [RFC7883] and OSPF [RFC7884]) + have been extended to advertise the S-BFD Discriminators. With this, + an Initiator can learn the S-BFD Discriminator for all Responders + within its IGP area/level or optionally within the domain. With + networks being divided into multiple IGP domains for scaling and + operational considerations, the service endpoints that require end- + to-end S-BFD monitoring often span across IGP domains. + + BGP - Link State (BGP-LS) [RFC7752] enables the collection and + distribution of IGP link-state topology information via BGP sessions + across IGP areas/levels and domains. The S-BFD Discriminator(s) of a + node can thus be distributed along with the topology information via + BGP-LS across IGP domains and even across multiple Autonomous Systems + (ASes) within an administrative domain. + + This document defines extensions to BGP-LS for carrying the S-BFD + Discriminators' information. + +2. Terminology + + This memo makes use of the terms defined in [RFC7880]. + +2.1. Requirements Language + + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", + "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and + "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in + BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all + capitals, as shown here. + +3. BGP-LS Extensions for S-BFD Discriminators + + BGP-LS [RFC7752] specifies the Node Network Layer Reachability + Information (NLRI) for the advertisement of nodes and their + attributes using the BGP-LS Attribute. The S-BFD Discriminators of a + node are considered a node-level attribute and are advertised as + such. + + This document defines a new BGP-LS Attribute TLV called "S-BFD + Discriminators TLV", and its format is as follows: + + 0 1 2 3 + 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Type | Length | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Discriminator 1 | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Discriminator 2 (Optional) | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | ... | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Discriminator n (Optional) | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + + Figure 1: S-BFD Discriminators TLV + + where: + + Type: 1032 + + Length: variable. It MUST be a minimum of 4 octets, and it + increments by 4 octets for each additional discriminator. + + Discriminator n: 4 octets each, carrying an S-BFD local + discriminator value of the node. At least one discriminator MUST + be included in the TLV. + + The S-BFD Discriminators TLV can be added to the BGP-LS Attribute + associated with the Node NLRI that originates the corresponding + underlying IGP TLV/sub-TLV as described below. This information is + derived from the protocol-specific advertisements as follows: + + * IS-IS, as defined by the S-BFD Discriminators sub-TLV in + [RFC7883]. + + * OSPFv2/OSPFv3, as defined by the S-BFD Discriminator TLV in + [RFC7884]. + +4. IANA Considerations + + IANA has permanently allocated the following code point in the "BGP- + LS Node Descriptor, Link Descriptor, Prefix Descriptor, and Attribute + TLVs" registry. The column "IS-IS TLV/Sub-TLV" defined in the + registry does not require any value and should be left empty. + + +================+======================+===============+ + | TLV Code Point | Description | Reference | + +================+======================+===============+ + | 1032 | S-BFD Discriminators | This document | + +----------------+----------------------+---------------+ + + Table 1: S-BFD Discriminators TLV Code Point Allocation + +5. Manageability Considerations + + The new protocol extensions introduced in this document augment the + existing IGP topology information that was distributed via BGP-LS + [RFC7752]. Procedures and protocol extensions defined in this + document do not affect BGP protocol operations and management other + than as discussed in "Manageability Considerations" (Section 6) of + [RFC7752]. Specifically, the malformed NLRIs attribute tests in + "Fault Management" (Section 6.2.2) of [RFC7752] now encompass the new + TLV for the BGP-LS NLRI in this document. + +6. Security Considerations + + The new protocol extensions introduced in this document augment the + existing IGP topology information that can be distributed via BGP-LS + [RFC7752]. Procedures and protocol extensions defined in this + document do not affect the BGP security model other than as discussed + in "Security Considerations" (Section 8) of [RFC7752], i.e., the + aspects related to limiting the nodes and consumers with which the + topology information is shared via BGP-LS to trusted entities within + an administrative domain. + + The TLV introduced in this document is used to propagate IGP-defined + information (see [RFC7883] and [RFC7884]). The TLV represents + information used to set up S-BFD sessions. The IGP instances + originating this information are assumed to support any required + security and authentication mechanisms (as described in [RFC7883] and + [RFC7884]). + + Advertising the S-BFD Discriminators via BGP-LS makes it possible for + attackers to initiate S-BFD sessions using the advertised + information. The vulnerabilities this poses and how to mitigate them + are discussed in [RFC7880]. + +7. References + +7.1.
