+RFC 5287 Control Protocol Extensions for TDM Pseudowires August 2008
+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ This document defines an extension to the PWE3 control protocol
+ [RFC4447] and PWE3 IANA allocations [RFC4446] required for the setup
+ of TDM pseudowires in MPLS networks.
+
+ Structure-agnostic TDM pseudowires have been specified in [RFC4553],
+ and structure-aware ones have been specified in [RFC5086] and
+ [RFC5087].
+
+ [RFC4447] defines extensions to the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP)
+ [RFC5036] that are required to exchange PW labels for PWs emulating
+ various Layer 2 services (Ethernet, Frame Relay (FR), Asynchronous
+ Transfer Mode (ATM), High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC), etc.). The
+ setup of TDM PWs requires both interpretation of the existing
+ information elements of these extensions and exchange of additional
+ information.
+
+ The setup of TDM PWs using L2TPv3 will be defined in a separate
+ document.
+
+ The status of attachment circuits of TDM PWs can be exchanged between
+ the terminating Provider Edges (PEs) using the PW Status mechanism
+ defined in [RFC4447] without any changes. However, usage of this
+ mechanism is NOT RECOMMENDED for TDM PWs since the indication of the
+ status of the TDM attachment circuits is carried in-band in the data
+ plane.
+
+ 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].
+
+2. PW FEC for Setup of TDM PWs
+
+ [RFC4447] uses the LDP Label Mapping message [RFC5036] for
+ advertising the FEC-to-PW Label binding, and defines two types of PW
+ Forwarding Equivalence Classes (FECs) that can be used for this
+ purpose:
+
+ 1. PWId FEC (FEC 128). This FEC contains:
+
+ a) PW type
+
+ b) Control bit (indicates presence of the control word)
+
+ c) Group ID
+
+ d) PW ID
+
+
+
+Vainshtein & Stein Standards Track [Page 2]
+
+RFC 5287 Control Protocol Extensions for TDM Pseudowires August 2008
+
+
+ e) Interface parameters Sub-TLV
+
+ 2. Generalized PW FEC (FEC 129). This FEC contains only:
+
+ a) PW type
+
+ b) Control bit
+
+ c) Attachment Group Identifier (AGI), Source Attachment Individual
+ Identifier (SAII), and Target Attachment Individual Identifier
+ (TAII) that replace the PW ID
+
+ The Group ID and the Interface Parameters are contained in separate
+ TLVs, called the PW Grouping TLV and the Interface Parameters TLV.
+
+ Either of these types of PW FEC MAY be used for the setup of TDM PWs
+ with the appropriate selection of PW types and interface parameters.
+
+ The PW types for TDM PWs are allocated in [RFC4446] as follows:
+
+ o 0x0011 Structure-agnostic E1 over Packet [RFC4553]
+ o 0x0012 Structure-agnostic T1 (DS1) over Packet [RFC4553]
+ o 0x0013 Structure-agnostic E3 over Packet [RFC4553]
+ o 0x0014 Structure-agnostic T3 (DS3) over Packet [RFC4553]
+ o 0x0015 CESoPSN basic mode [RFC5086]
+ o 0x0016 TDMoIP AAL1 mode [RFC5087]
+ o 0x0017 CESoPSN TDM with CAS [RFC5086]
+ o 0x0018 TDMoIP AAL2 mode [RFC5087]
+
+ The two endpoints MUST agree on the PW type, as both directions of
+ the PW are required to be of the same type.
+
+ The Control bit MUST always be set for TDM PWs since all TDM PW
+ encapsulations always use a control word.
+
+ PW type 0x0012 MUST also be used for the setup of structure-agnostic
+ TDM PWs between a pair of J1 attachment circuits (see [RFC4805]).

+
+3. Interface Parameters for TDM PWs
+
+3.1. Overview
+
+ The interface parameters that are relevant for the setup of the TDM
+ PWs are listed below.
+
+ -------------------------------------------------------------
+ | Interface Parameter | Sub-TLV ID | Length | Description |
+ |-----------------------|------------|--------|-------------|
+ | CEP/TDM Payload Bytes | 0x04 | 4 |Section 3.2 |
+ |-----------------------|------------|--------|-------------|
+ | CEP/TDM Bit-Rate | 0x07 | 6 |Section 3.3 |
+ |-----------------------|------------|--------|-------------|
+ | Number of TDMoIP AAL1 | 0x0E | 4 |Section 3.4 |
+ | Cells per Packet | | | |
+ |-----------------------|-------=----|--------|-------------|
+ | TDMoIP AAL1 Mode | 0x10 | 4 |Section 3.5 |
+ |-----------------------|------------|--------|-------------|
+ | TDMoIP AAL2 Options | 0x11 | 8 or |Section 3.6 |
+ | | | larger | |
+ | | |see note| |
+ |-----------------------|------------|--------|-------------|
+ | Fragmentation | 0x09 | 4 |Section 3.7 |
+ | Indicator | | | |
+ |-----------------------|------------|--------|-------------|
+ | TDM Options | 0x0B | 4, 8, |Section 3.8 |
+ | | | or 12 | |
+ -------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ If not explicitly indicated otherwise in the appropriate description,
+ the value of the interface parameter is interpreted as an unsigned
+ integer of the appropriate size (16 or 32 bits).
+
+ Note: The length of basic TDMoIP AAL2 Options interface parameter is
+ 8 bytes, and when the optional Channel ID (CID) mapping bases field
+ is used, there is one additional byte for each trunk transported.
+ Thus, if 1 trunk is being supported, this message occupies 9 bytes.
+ Since there can be no more than 248 CIDs in a given PW, this can
+ never exceed 256 (this when each channel comes from a different
+ trunk). 248 channels translates to less than 9 E1s, and so, for this
+ case, the length is
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Vainshtein & Stein Standards Track [Page 4]
+
+RFC 5287 Control Protocol Extensions for TDM Pseudowires August 2008
+
+
+ no more than 17 bytes. A single PE is not required to support more
+ than 10 AAL2 PWs (i.e., up to 2480 individual channels, which is more
+ than carried by a fully populated STM1). Thus, the memory required
+ to store all the AAL2 mapping information is typically between 80 and
+ 170 bytes per PE.
+
+3.2. CEP/TDM Payload Bytes
+
+ This parameter is used for the setup of all SAToP and CESoPSN PWs
+ (i.e., PW types 0x0011, 0x0012, 0x0013, 0x0014, 0x0015, and 0x0017)
+ and employs the following semantics:
+
+ 1. The two endpoints of a TDM PW MUST agree on the same value of this
+ parameter for the PW to be set up successfully.
+
+ 2. Presence of this parameter in the PWId FEC or in the Interface
+ Parameters Field TLV is OPTIONAL. If this parameter is omitted,
+ default payload size defined for the corresponding service (see
+ [RFC4553], [RFC5086]) MUST be assumed.
+
+ 3. For structure-agnostic emulation, any value consistent with the
+ MTU of the underlying PSN MAY be specified.
+
+ 4. For CESoPSN PWs:
+
+ a) The specified value P MUST be an integer multiple of N, where N
+ is the number of timeslots in the attachment circuit.
+
+ b) For trunk-specific NxDS0 with CAS:
+
+ i) (P/N) MUST be an integer factor of the number of frames per
+ corresponding trunk multiframe (i.e., 16 for an E1 trunk and
+ 24 for a T1 or J1 trunk).
+
+ ii) The size of the signaling sub-structure is not accounted for
+ in the specified value P.
+
+ 5. This parameter MUST NOT be used for the setup of TDMoIP PWs (i.e.,
+ PWs with PW types 0x0016 and 0x0018).
+
+3.3. CEP/TDM Bit-Rate (0x07)
+
+ This interface parameter represents the bit-rate of the TDM service
+ in multiples of the "basic" 64 Kbit/s rate. Its usage for all types
+ of TDM PWs assumes the following semantics:
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Vainshtein & Stein Standards Track [Page 5]
+
+RFC 5287 Control Protocol Extensions for TDM Pseudowires August 2008
+
+
+ 1. This interface parameter MAY be omitted if the attachment circuit
+ bit-rate can be unambiguously derived from the PW type (i.e., for
+ structure-agnostic emulation of E1, E3, and T3 circuits). If this
+ value is omitted for the structure-agnostic emulation of T1 PW
+ type, the basic emulation mode MUST be assumed.
+
+ 2. If present, only the following values MUST be specified for
+ structure-agnostic emulation (see [RFC4553]:
+
+ a) Structure-agnostic E1 emulation - 32
+
+ b) Structure-agnostic T1 emulation:
+
+ i) MUST be set to 24 in the basic emulation mode
+
+ ii) MUST be set to 25 for the "Octet-aligned T1" emulation mode
+
+ c) Structure-agnostic E3 emulation - 535
+
+ d) Structure-agnostic T3 emulation - 699
+
+ 3. For all kinds of structure-aware emulation, this parameter MUST be
+ set to N, where N is the number of DS0 channels in the
+ corresponding attachment circuit.
+
+ Note: The value 24 does not represent the actual bit-rate of the T1
+ or J1 circuit (1,544 Mbit/s) in units of 64 kbit/s. The values
+ mentioned above are used for convenience.
+
+ Note: A 4-byte space is reserved for this parameter for compatibility
+ with [RFC4842].
+
+3.4. Number of TDMoIP AAL1 Cells per Packet
+
+ This parameter MAY be present for TDMoIP AAL1 mode PWs (PW type
+ 0x0016) and specifies the number of 48-byte AAL1 PDUs per MPLS
+ packet. Any values consistent with the MTU of the underlying PSN MAY
+ be specified. If this parameter is not specified, it defaults to 1
+ PDU per packet for low bit-rates (CEP/TDM Bit-Rate less than or equal
+ to 32), and to 5 for high bit-rates (CEP/TDM Bit-Rate of 535 or 699).

+
+
+3.5. TDMoIP AAL1 Mode
+
+ This parameter MAY be present for TDMoIP AAL1 mode PWs (PW type
+ 0x0016) and specifies the AAL1 mode. If this parameter is not
+ present, the AAL1 mode defaults to "structured". When specified, the
+ values have the following significance:
+
+ 0 - unstructured AAL1
+ 2 - structured AAL1
+ 3 - structured AAL1 with CAS
+
+ The two endpoints MUST agree on the TDMoIP AAL1 mode.
+
+3.6. TDMoIP AAL2 Options
+
+ This parameter MUST be present for TDMoIP AAL2 mode PWs (PW type
+ 0x0018) and has the following format:
+
+ 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

+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | CID mapping bases |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ The fields in this parameter are defined as follows:
+
+ V defines the Voice Activity Detection (VAD) capabilities. Its
+ values have the following significance:
+
+ 0 means that activity is only indicated by signaling.
+ 1 means that voice activity detection is employed.
+ 3 means this channel is always active. In particular, this
+ channel may be used for timing recovery.
+
+ Encoding specifies native signal processing performed on the payload.
+ When no native signal processing is performed (i.e., G.711 encoding),
+ this field MUST be zero. Other specific values that can be used in
+ this field are beyond the scope of this specification, but the two
+ directions MUST match for the PW setup to succeed.

+
+
+
+
+Vainshtein & Stein Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 5287 Control Protocol Extensions for TDM Pseudowires August 2008
+
+
+ Maximum Duration specifies the maximum time allowed for filling an
+ AAL2 PDU, in units of 125 microseconds. For unencoded 64 kbps
+ channels, this numerically equals the maximum number of bytes per PDU
+ and MUST be less than 64. For other encoding parameters, larger
+ values may be attained.
+
+ CID mapping bases is an OPTIONAL parameter; its existence and length
+ are determined by the length field. If the mapping of AAL2 CID
+ values to a physical interface and time slot is statically
+ configured, or if AAL2 switching [Q.2630.1] is employed, this
+ parameter MUST NOT appear. When it is present, and the channels
+ belong to N physical interfaces (i.e., N E1s or T1s), it MUST be N
+ bytes in length. Each byte represents a number to be subtracted from
+ the CID to get the timeslot number for each physical interface. For
+ example, if the CID mapping bases parameter consists of the bytes 20
+ and 60, this signifies that timeslot 1 of trunk 1 corresponds to CID
+ 21, and timeslot 1 of trunk 2 is called 61.
+
+3.7. Fragmentation Indicator
+
+ This interface parameter is specified in [RFC4446], and its usage is
+ explained in [RFC4623]. It MUST be omitted in the FEC of all TDM PWs
+ excluding trunk-specific NxDS0 services with CAS using the CESoPSN
+ encapsulation. In the case of these services, it MUST be present in
+ the PW FEC if the payload size specified value P differs from
+ Nx(number of frames per trunk multiframe).
+
+3.8. TDM Options
+
+ This is a new interface parameter. Its Interface Parameter ID (0x0B)
+ has been assigned by IANA, and its format is shown in Figure 1 below:
+
+ 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

+
+
+ Length 4, 8, or 12 (see below).
+
+ R The RTP Header Usage bit: if set, indicates that
+ the PW endpoint distributing this FEC expects to
+ receive RTP header in the encapsulation. RTP
+ header will be used only if both endpoints expect
+ to receive it. If this bit is cleared, Length
+ MUST be set to 4; otherwise, it MUST be either 8
+ or 12 (see below). If the peer PW endpoint
+ cannot meet this requirement, the Label Mapping
+ message containing the FEC in question MUST be
+ rejected with the appropriate status code (see
+ Section 4 below).
+
+ D The Differential timestamping Mode bit: if set,
+ indicates that the PW endpoint distributing this
+ FEC expects the peer to use Differential
+ timestamping mode in the packets sent to it. If
+ the peer PW endpoint cannot meet this
+ requirement, the Label Mapping message containing
+ the FEC in question MUST be rejected with the
+ appropriate status code (see Section 4 below).
+
+ F, X Reserved for future extensions. MUST be cleared
+ when distributed and MUST be ignored upon
+ reception.
+
+ SP Encodes support for the CESoPSN signaling packets
+ (see [RFC5086]):
+
+ o '00' for PWs that do not use signaling packets
+
+ o '01' for CESoPSN PWs carrying TDM data packets
+ and expecting Customer Edge (CE) application
+ signaling packets in a separate PW
+
+ o '10' for a PW carrying CE application
+ signaling packets with the data packets in a
+ separate PW
+
+ o '11' for CESoPSN PWs carrying TDM data and CE
+ application signaling on the same PW
+
+

+
+
+
+
+Vainshtein & Stein Standards Track [Page 9]
+
+RFC 5287 Control Protocol Extensions for TDM Pseudowires August 2008
+
+
+ CAS MUST be cleared for all types of TDM PWs
+ excluding trunk-specific NxDS0 services with CAS.
+ For these services, it encodes the trunk framing
+ like the following:
+
+ o '01' - an E1 trunk
+
+ o '10' - a T1/ESF trunk
+
+ o '11' - a T1 SF trunk
+
+ RSVD-1 and RSVD-2 Reserved bits, which MUST be set to 0 by the PW
+ endpoint distributing this FEC and MUST be
+ ignored by the receiver.
+
+ PT Indicates the value of Payload Type in the RTP
+ header expected by the PW endpoint distributing
+ this FEC. A value of 0 means that the PT value
+ check will not be used for detecting malformed
+ packets.
+
+ FREQ Frequency of timestamping clock in units of 8
+ kHz.
+
+ SSRC Indicates the value of the Synchronization source
+ ID (SSRC ID) in the RTP header expected by the PW
+ endpoint distributing this FEC. A value of 0
+ means that the SSRC ID value check will not be
+ used for detecting misconnections.
+ Alternatively, Length can be set to 8 in this
+ case.
+
+ Notes:
+
+ 1. This interface parameter MAY be omitted in the following cases:
+
+ a) SAToP PWs that do not use RTP header [RFC4553].
+
+ b) Basic CESoPSN NxDS0 services without CE application signaling
+ [RFC5086].
+
+ c) TDMoIP AAL1 mode 0 or 2 PWs that do not use RTP .
+
+ d) TDMoIP AAL2 PWs that do not relay CAS signaling and do not use
+ RTP.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Vainshtein & Stein Standards Track [Page 10]
+
+RFC 5287 Control Protocol Extensions for TDM Pseudowires August 2008
+
+
+ 2. This interface parameter MUST be present in the following cases:
+
+ a) All TDM PWs that use RTP headers.
+
+ b) CESoPSN PWs that carry basic NxDS0 services and use CESoPSN
+ signaling packets to carry CE application signaling. This case
+ is discussed in detail in Section 4 below.
+
+ c) CESoPSN PWs that carry trunk-specific NxDS0 services with CAS.
+
+ d) TDMoIP AAL1 mode 1 PWs.
+
+ e) TDMoIP AAL2 PWs that relay CAS signaling.
+
+ 3. If RTP header and possibly the Differential timestamping mode are
+ used, the value of the Length field MUST be set to 8 or 12 in
+ order to accommodate the Timestamping Clock Frequency and SSRC
+ fields.
+
+ 4. Usage or non-usage of the RTP header MUST match for the two
+ directions making up the TDM PW. However, it is possible to use
+ the Differential timestamping mode in just one direction.
+
+4. Extending CESoPSN Basic NxDS0 Services with CE Application Signaling
+
+ [RFC5086] states that basic NxDS0 services can be extended to carry
+ CE application signaling (e.g., CAS) in special signaling packets
+ carried in a separate PW.
+
+ The following rules define the setup of matching pairs of CESoPSN PWs
+ using the PW ID FEC and the extensions defined above:
+
+ 1. The two PWs MUST:
+
+ a) Have the same PW type.
+
+ b) Use the same setup method (i.e., either both use the PWId FEC,
+ or both use the Generalized PW FEC).
+
+ c) Have the same values of all the Interface Parameters listed in
+ Section 3.1 above with the exception of the code point in the
+ SP field of the TDM Options parameter:
+
+ i) For the PW carrying TDM data packets, the SP bits MUST be
+ set to '01'.
+
+ ii) For the PW carrying the signaling packets, the SP bits MUST
+ set to '10'.
+
+
+
+Vainshtein & Stein Standards Track [Page 11]
+
+RFC 5287 Control Protocol Extensions for TDM Pseudowires August 2008
+
+
+ 2. If the PWId FEC has been used:
+
+ a) The value of PW ID for the CESoPSN PW carrying TDM data packets
+ MUST be even.
+
+ b) The value of PW ID for the CESoPSN PW carrying CE application
+ signaling MUST be the next (odd) value after the (even) PW ID
+ of the CESoPSN PW carrying TDM data packets.
+
+ When using the Generalized PW FEC for the setup of the two PWs, no
+ specific rules for matching the two FECs are defined.
+ Implementation-specific mechanisms MAY be employed to verify the
+ proper matching of the TDM data PW with its associated CE signaling
+ PW.
+
+ If one of the two associated PWs has been established and the other
+ failed to be established, or for any reason fails after having been
+ established, the established PW MUST be torn down.
+
+5. LDP Status Codes
+
+ In addition to the status codes defined in Sections 5.1 and 7.2 of
+ [RFC4447], the following status codes defined in [RFC4446] MUST be
+ used to indicate the reason of failure to establish a TDM PW:
+
+ 1. Incompatible bit-rate:
+
+ a) In the case of a mismatch of T1 encapsulation modes (basic vs.
+ octet-aligned).
+
+ b) In the case of a mismatch in the number of timeslots for NxDS0
+ basic services or trunk-specific NxDS0 services with CAS.
+
+ 2. CEP/TDM misconfiguration:
+
+ a) In the case of a mismatch in the desired usage of RTP header.
+
+ b) In the case of a mismatch of the desired Timestamping Clock
+ Frequency.
+
+ c) In the case of a mismatch of expected signaling packets
+ behavior for basic CESoPSN NxDS0 services extended to carry CE
+ application signaling in separate signaling packets.
+
+ d) In the case of trunk-specific NxDS0 services with CAS if the
+ framing types of the trunks are different.

+
+
+
+
+Vainshtein & Stein Standards Track [Page 12]
+
+RFC 5287 Control Protocol Extensions for TDM Pseudowires August 2008
+
+
+ e) In the case of TDMoIP AAL1 PWs with different AAL1 modes
+ specified by the endpoints.
+
+ 3. The generic misconfiguration error MAY be used to indicate any
+ setup failure not covered above.
+
+ In cases 2a, 2b, 2c, and 2e above, the user MAY reconfigure the
+ endpoints and attempt to set up the PW once again.
+
+ In the case of 2d, the failure is fatal.
+
+ Note that setting of the Control bit (see Section 2 above) to zero
+ MUST result in an LDP status of "Illegal C-Bit".
+
+6. Using the PW Status TLV
+
+ The TDM PW control word carries status indications for both
+ attachment circuits (L and M fields) and the PSN (R field) indication
+ (see [RFC4553], [RFC5086], and [RFC5087]). Similar functionality is
+ available via use of the PW Status TLV (see Section 5.4.2 of
+ [RFC4447]). If the latter mechanism is employed, the signaling PE
+ sends its peer a PW Status TLV for this PW, setting the appropriate
+ bits (see Section 3.5 of [RFC4446]):
+
+ o Pseudowire Not Forwarding
+ o Local Attachment Circuit (ingress) Receive Fault
+ o Local Attachment Circuit (egress) Transmit Fault
+ o Local PSN-facing PW (ingress) Receive Fault
+ o Local PSN-facing PW (egress) Transmit Fault
+
+ As long as the TDM PW interworking function is operational, usage of
+ the Status TLV is NOT RECOMMENDED in order to avoid contention
+ between status indications reported by the data and control plane.
+ However, if the TDM PW interworking function (IWF) itself fails while
+ the PWE3 control plane remains operational, a Status TLV with all of
+ the above bits set SHOULD be sent.
+
+7. IANA Considerations
+
+ Most of the IANA assignments required by this document are already
+ listed in [RFC4446]. Additional assignments have been made for four
+ Interface Parameter Sub-TLV types (see Section 3.1):
+
+ o TDM Options (0x0B)
+ o Number of TDMoIP AAL1 cells per packet (0x0E)
+ o TDMoIP AAL1 mode (0x10)
+ o TDMoIP AAL2 Options (0x11)

+
+8. Security Considerations
+
+ This document does not have any additional impact on the security of
+ PWs above that of basic LDP-based setup of PWs specified in
+ [RFC4447].
