Standards Track [Page 3] + +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. + + + + + + + + +Kashima, et al.

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.

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 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. + + Abstract Data Type: unsigned16 + + Data Type Semantics: identifier + + ElementId: 243 + + Status: current + + References: [IEEE802.1Q] [IEEE802.1Qbg] + + + + +Kashima, et al.
