+ Pseudowire Status for Static Pseudowires
+
+Abstract
+
+ This document specifies a mechanism to signal Pseudowire (PW) status
+ messages using a PW associated channel (ACh). Such a mechanism is
+ suitable for use where no PW dynamic control plane exits, known as
+ static PWs, or where a Terminating Provider Edge (T-PE) needs to send
+ a PW status message directly to a far-end T-PE. The mechanism allows
+ PW Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) message mapping
+ and PW redundancy to operate on static PWs. This document also
+ updates RFC 5885 in the case when Bi-directional Forwarding Detection
+ (BFD) is used to convey PW status-signaling information.

+RFC 6478 Pseudowire Status for Static Pseudowires May 2012
+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ The default control plane for Pseudowire (PW) technology, as defined
+ in [RFC4447], is based on the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP).
+ However, that document also describes a static provisioning mode
+ without a control plane. When a static PW is used, there is no
+ method to transmit the status of the PW or attachment circuit (AC)
+ between the two Provider Edge (PE) devices at each end of the PW.
+ This document defines a method to transport the PW status codes
+ defined in Section 5.4.2 of [RFC4447] and elsewhere [REDUNDANCY] in-
+ band with the PW data using a generic associated channel [RFC5586].
+
+2. Specification of Requirements
+
+ 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
+
+ ACh: Associated Channel
+
+ ACH: Associated Channel Header
+
+ FEC: Forwarding Equivalence Class
+
+ LDP: Label Distribution Protocol
+
+ LSP: Label Switching Path
+
+ MS-PW: Multi-Segment Pseudowire
+
+ PE: Provider Edge
+
+ PW: Pseudowire
+
+ SS-PW: Single-Segment Pseudowire
+
+ S-PE: Switching Provider Edge Node of MS-PW
+
+ T-PE: Terminating Provider Edge Node of MS-PW
+
+4. Applicability
+
+ As described in [RFC4447] and [RFC6310], a PE that establishes an
+ MPLS PW using means other than LDP, e.g., by static configuration,
+ MUST support some alternative method of status reporting. The
+
+
+
+
+Martini, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
+
+RFC 6478 Pseudowire Status for Static Pseudowires May 2012
+
+
+ procedures described in this document are for use when PWs are
+ statically configured and an LDP control plane is not available.
+
+ As defined in [RFC4447], a PE that establishes a PW using LDP MUST
+ use the PW status TLV mechanism for AC and PW status and defect
+ notification on that PW. In order to avoid duplicate notifications
+ and potentially conflicting notifications, such PEs MUST NOT use the
+ mechanisms described in this document for those PWs, except that the
+ S-PE bypass mode described in Section 5.5 MAY be used when both T-PEs
+ at each end of the PW use LDP to establish the PW.
+
+ In order to protect against duplicate notifications and potentially
+ conflicting notifications, when the Pseudowire Status protocol for
+ Static Pseudowires described in this document is used, the BFD VCCV
+ (Virtual Circuit Connectivity Verification) status-signaling
+ mechanisms described in [RFC5885] (CV Types 0x08 and 0x20) MUST NOT
+ be used. BFD VCCV for fault detection (CV types 0x04 and 0x10) MAY
+ still be used.
+
+5. Pseudowire Status Operation
+
+5.1. PW OAM Message
+
+ The PW status TLV as defined in Section 5.4.2 of [RFC4447] is
+ transported in a PW OAM message using the PW ACH.
+
+ 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

+
+ Figure 1: ACh PW OAM Message Packet Header
+
+ The first 32 bits are the standard ACH header construct as defined in
+ [RFC5586].
+
+ The first nibble (0001b) indicates the ACH instead of PW data. The
+ version and the reserved values are both set to 0 as specified in
+ [RFC4385].
+
+
+
+
+
+Martini, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
+
+RFC 6478 Pseudowire Status for Static Pseudowires May 2012
+
+
+ The refresh timer is an unsigned integer and specifies refresh time
+ in seconds with a range from 1 to 65535. The value 0 means that the
+ refresh timer is set to infinity, and the PW OAM message will never
+ be refreshed, and will never timeout.
+
+ The TLV length field indicates the length of all TLVs only. This
+ document defines only the transport of the PW status TLV, as defined
+ in Section 5.4.2, [RFC4447], in the TLV field. In the future,
+ additional TLVs may be defined to be used in this field with code
+ points allocated from the IANA registry called "LDP TLV Type Name
+ Space".
+
+ The A flag bit is used to indicate an acknowledgment of the PW status
+ TLV included. The rest of the flag bits are reserved and they MUST
+ be set to 0 on transmit, and ignored upon receipt. When the A bit is
+ set, the refresh timer value is a requested timer value.
+
+ The PW OAM Message code point value is 0x0027.
+
+5.2. Sending a PW Status Message
+
+ The PW Status messages are sent in-band using the PW OAM message
+ containing the PW Status TLV for a particular PW, as defined in
+ [RFC4447]. The PW Status TLV format is almost as defined in
+ [RFC4447] and is repeated here for the reader's convenience:
+
+ 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
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ |Res| PW Status (0x096A) | Length |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | Status Code |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ Figure 2: PW Status TLV Format
+
+ Unlike the case in [RFC4447], here, the first 2 bits are reserved,
+ and MUST be set to zero on transmit and ignored on receipt.
+
+ The PW Status TLV is prepended with a PW OAM message header and sent
+ on the ACh of the PW to which the status update applies.
+
+ To clear a particular status indication, the PE needs to send a new
+ PW OAM message containing a PW Status TLV with the corresponding bit
+ cleared as defined in [RFC4447].
+
+ The procedures described in [RFC6073] that apply to an S-PE and PW
+ using an LDP control plane also apply when sending PW status using
+
+
+
+Martini, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
+
+RFC 6478 Pseudowire Status for Static Pseudowires May 2012
+
+
+ the PW OAM channel. The OPTIONAL procedures using the SP-PE TLV
+ described in [RFC6073] can also be applied when sending PW status
+ using the PW OAM channel.
+
+ The detailed message transmit and message receive procedures are
+ specified in the next section. PW OAM status messages MUST NOT be
+ used as a connectivity verification method.
+
+5.3. PW OAM Status Message Transmit and Receive
+
+ Unlike the PW status procedures defined in [RFC4447], with this
+ method there is no TCP/IP session or session management. Therefore,
+ unlike the TCP/IP case, where each message is sent only once, the PW
+ OAM message containing the PW status TLV needs to be transmitted
+ repeatedly to ensure reliable message delivery. If a malformed TLV
+ or an unknown TLV is received in a PW OAM status message, the TLV
+ MUST be ignored, and the PE SHOULD report the event to the operator.
+
+ A PW OAM message containing a PW status TLV with a new status bit set
+ or reset will be transmitted immediately by the PE. Unless the
+ message is acknowledged within a second, the PW OAM message will then
+ be repeated twice more at an initial interval of one second.
+ Subsequently, the PW OAM message will be transmitted with an interval
+ specified by the refresh timer value in the packet. Note that this
+ value MAY be updated in the new PW OAM message packet, in which case
+ the new refresh timer value becomes the new packet transmit interval.
+
+ The suggested default value for the refresh timer is 600 seconds.
+ This default is adequate for typical deployments, and PEs are
+ designed to take into account processing these messages at the
+ required rate.
+
+ When a PW OAM message containing a status TLV is received, a timer is
+ started according to the refresh rate specified in the packet. If
+ another non-zero PW status message is not received within 3.5 times
+ the specified timer value, the status condition will timeout in 3.5
+ times the last refresh timer value received, and the default status
+ of zero is assumed on the PW. It is also a good practice to
+ introduce some jitter in the delay between refresh transmissions, as
+ long as the maximum jitter delay is within the prescribed maximum
+ refresh time of 3.5 times the specified timer value for 3 consecutive
+ refresh packets.
+
+ To clear a particular status fault, the PE need only send an updated
+ message with the corresponding bit cleared. If the PW status code is
+ zero, the PW OAM message will be sent like any other PW OAM status
+ message using the procedures described above; however, transmission
+ will cease after 3 PW status messages have been sent at one second
+
+
+
+Martini, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
+
+RFC 6478 Pseudowire Status for Static Pseudowires May 2012
+
+
+ intervals and before the refresh timer expires. A PW status message
+ of zero MAY be acknowledged using the procedures described in Section
+ 5.3.1. If it is acknowledged, then a timer value of zero MUST be
+ used. This SHOULD cause the PE sending the PW status notification
+ message with a PW status code equal to zero to stop sending and to
+ continue normal operation.
+
+5.3.1. Acknowledgment of PW Status
+
+ A PE receiving a PW OAM message containing a PW status message MAY
+ acknowledge the PW status message by simply building a reply packet
+ with the same format and status code as the received PW OAM message,
+ but with the A bit set, and transmitting it on the PW ACh back to the
+ source of the PW OAM message. The receiving PE MAY use the refresh
+ timer field in the acknowledgement packet to request a new refresh
+ interval from the originator of the PW OAM message. The timer value
+ set in the reply packet SHOULD then be used by the originator of the
+ PW OAM message as the new transmit interval. If the requested
+ refresh timer value is to be used, then, when the the current timer
+ expires, the PW OAM message transmission interval is set to the new
+ value and the new value is sent in the PW OAM message. If the
+ transmitting PE does not want to use the new timer value (for local
+ policy reasons, or because it simply cannot support it), it MUST
+ refresh the PW OAM message with the timer value it desires. The
+ receiving PE will then set its timeout timer according to the new
+ refresh timer value that is in the packet received, regardless of
+ what timer value it requested. The receiving PE MUST NOT request a
+ new refresh timer value more than once per refresh interval.
+
+ The suggested default value for the refresh timer value in the
+ acknowledgment packet is 600 seconds.
+
+ If the sender PE receives an acknowledgment message that does not
+ match the current active PW status message being sent, it simply
+ ignores the acknowledgment packet.
+
+ If a PE that has received a non-zero status code for a PW detects by
+ any means that the far end PE has become unreachable, it will follow
+ the standard defect entry procedures of [RFC6310], Section 6.2.
+
+5.4. MPLS Label Stack
+
+ With one exception, all PW OAM status messages are sent to the
+ adjacent PE across the PSN tunnel. In many cases, the transmitting
+ PE has no way to determine whether the adjacent PE is an S-PE or a
+ T-PE. This is a necessary behavior to preserve backward
+ compatibility with PEs that do not understand MS-PWs. In the
+ procedures described in this document, there are two possible
+
+
+
+Martini, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 6478 Pseudowire Status for Static Pseudowires May 2012
+
+
+ destinations for the PW OAM status messages: the adjacent PE or the
+ T-PE. Sending a PW status message directly to the T-PE is an
+ enhanced method that is only applicable using PW OAM status messages
+ sent in the PW ACH.
+
+5.4.1. Label Stack for a Message Destined to the Next PE
+
+ A PE that needs to forward a PW OAM status message to the adjacent PE
+ across the PSN tunnel MUST set the PW label TTL field to 1.
+ Furthermore, if the control word is not in use on the particular PW,
+ the PE MUST place the GAL reserved label [RFC5586] below the PW label
+ with the TTL field set to 1.
+
+5.4.2. Label Stack for a Message Destined to the Egress PE
+
+ This is also known as "S-PE bypass mode"; see below. A T-PE that
+ requires sending a PW OAM status message directly to the
+ corresponding T-PE at the other end of the PW MUST set the TTL of the
+ PW label to a value that is sufficient to reach the corresponding
+ T-PE. This value will be greater than one, but will be set according
+ to the local policy on the transmitting T-PE. Furthermore, if the
+ control word is not in use on the particular PW, the PE MUST also
+ place the GAL reserved label [RFC5586] below the PW label with the
+ TTL field set to 1.
+
+5.5. S-PE Bypass Mode
+
+ S-PE bypass mode enables a T-PE that uses LDP as the PW setup and
+ control protocol to bypass all S-PEs that might be present along the
+ MS-PW and to send a message directly to the remote T-PE. This is
+ used for very fast message transmission in-band with the PW PDUs.
+ This mode is OPTIONAL and MUST be supported by both T-PEs to be
+ enabled. This mode MUST NOT be used if the first PW segment
+ connected to each T-PE is not using LDP.
+
+ Note that this method MUST NOT be used to send messages that are
+ permitted to originate at an S-PE. Otherwise, race conditions could
+ occur between messages sent via the control plane by S-PEs and
+ messages sent via the data plane by T-PEs.
+
+ Status codes, except for those listed below, MUST NOT be sent using
+ the S-PE bypass procedure and MUST be ignored on reception.
+
+ 0x00000002 - Local Attachment Circuit (ingress) Receive Fault
+
+ 0x00000004 - Local Attachment Circuit (egress) Transmit Fault
+
+ 0x00000020 - PW forwarding standby
+
+
+
+Martini, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
+
+RFC 6478 Pseudowire Status for Static Pseudowires May 2012
+
+
+ 0x00000040 - Request switchover to this PW
+
+ Note that since "clear all failures" may be sent by an S-PE, it MUST
+ NOT be sent using the S-PE bypass mode.
+
+ When S-PE bypass mode is enabled, all PW Status TLVs received using
+ this method have priority over PW Status TLVs sent via control
+ protocols such as LDP [RFC4447]. However, the same PW Status TLVs
+ MUST also be sent in LDP to keep the S-PEs state updated.
+
+5.5.1. S-PE Bypass Mode LDP Flag Bit
+
+ When a PW Segment along an MS-PW is using the LDP control protocol
+ and wishes to request the use of the S-PE bypass status message mode,
+ it sets the B bit in the generic protocol flags interface parameters
+ sub-TLV as shown in Figure 3. This flag can only be set by a T-PE
+ using LDP as the PW configuration and management protocol. If the
+ S-PE bypass mode LDP flag bit in the generic protocol flags interface
+ parameter does not match in the FEC advertisement for directions of a
+ specific PW, that PW MUST NOT be enabled.
+
+ The interface parameter is defined 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

+ ignored on reception of this TLV.

+
+
+ If the T-PE receives an LDP label mapping message containing a
+ generic protocol flags interface parameter TLV with the bit B set,
+ then the T-PE receiving the label mapping message MAY send S-PE
+ bypass status messages in the PW ACh. If bit B of said TLV is not
+ set, or the TLV is not present, then the T-PE receiving the label
+ mapping message MUST NOT send S-PE bypass status messages in the
+ PW ACh.
+
+6. S-PE Operation
+
+ The S-PE will operate according to the procedures defined in
+ [RFC6073]. The following additional procedures apply to the case
+ where a static PW segment is switched to a dynamic PW segment that
+ uses LDP, and the case where a static PW segment is switched to
+ another static PW segment.
+
+6.1. Static PW to Another Static PW
+
+ The procedures that are described in [RFC6073] Section 10 also apply
+ to the case of a static PW switched to another static PW. The LDP
+ header is simply replaced by the PW OAM header; otherwise, the packet
+ format will be identical. The information that is necessary to form
+ an SP-PE TLV MUST be configured in the S-PE, or no SP-PE TLV will be
+ sent. [RFC6073] defines the IANA "Pseudowire Switching Point PE TLV
+ Type" registry. In order to support the static PW configuration and
+ addressing scheme, the following new code point has been assigned:
+
+ Type Length Description
+ ---- ------ -----------
+ 0x07 24 Static PW/MPLS-TP PW segment ID of last
+ PW segment traversed
+
+ The format of this TLV is that of the "Static Pseudowire Sub-TLV"
+ defined in [RFC6426].
+
+6.2. Dynamic PW to Static PW or Vice Versa
+
+ The procedures that are described in Section 10 of [RFC6073] also
+ apply to this situation. However, if the PW label of the LDP-
+ controlled PW segment is withdrawn by the adjacent PE, the S-PE will
+ set the PW status code "0x00000001 - Pseudowire Not Forwarding" to
+ the adjacent PW on the static PW segment.
+
+ The S-PE will only withdraw its label for the dynamic, LDP-controlled
+ PW segment if the S-PE is not provisioned.

+
+
+7. Security Considerations
+
+ The security measures described in [RFC4447], [RFC5085], and
+ [RFC6073] are adequate for the proposed mechanism.
+
+8. IANA Considerations
+
+ IANA has set up the registry of "PW Generic Protocol Flags". These
+ are bit strings of length 16. Bit 0 is defined in this document.
+ Bits 1 through 15 are to be assigned by IANA using the "IETF Review"
+ policy defined in [RFC5226].
+
+ Any requests for allocation from this registry require a description
+ of up to 65 characters.
+
+ Initial PW Generic Protocol Flags value allocations are as follows:
+
+ Bit Mask Description
+ ====================================================================
+ 0x0001 - S-PE bypass mode [RFC6478]
+
+ This document uses a new Associated Channel Type. IANA already
+ maintains the "Pseudowire Associated Channel Types" registry. The
+ value 0x0027 has been assigned with the description "PW OAM Message".
+
+ This document uses a new Pseudowire Switching Point PE TLV Type.
+ IANA already maintains the "Pseudowire Switching Point PE sub-TLV
+ Type" registry. A value of 0x07 has been assigned with the
+ description "Static PW/MPLS-TP PW segment ID of last PW segment
+ traversed".
+
+ This document uses a new interface parameter type. IANA already
+ maintains the "Pseudowire Interface Parameters Sub-TLV type
+ Registry". A value of 0x18 has been assigned with the description
+ "PW Generic Protocol Flags".
