This + approach relies on IPv6 Provider Edge routers (6PE), which are Dual + Stack in order to connect to IPv6 islands and to the MPLS core, which + is only required to run IPv4 MPLS.

Introduction + + There are several approaches for providing IPv6 connectivity over an + MPLS core network [RFC4029] including (i) requiring that MPLS + networks support setting up IPv6-signaled Label Switched Paths (LSPs) + and establish IPv6 connectivity by using those LSPs, (ii) use + configured tunneling over IPv4-signaled LSPs, or (iii) use the IPv6 + Provider Edge (6PE) approach defined in this document. + + The 6PE approach is required as an alternative to the use of standard + tunnels. It provides a solution for an MPLS environment where all + tunnels are established dynamically, thereby addressing environments + where the effort to configure and maintain explicitly configured + tunnels is not acceptable. + + This document specifies operations of the 6PE approach for + interconnection of IPv6 islands over an IPv4 MPLS cloud. The + approach requires that the edge routers connected to IPv6 islands be + Dual Stack Multiprotocol-BGP-speaking routers [RFC4760], while the + core routers are only required to run IPv4 MPLS. The approach uses + MP-BGP over IPv4, relies on identification of the 6PE routers by + their IPv4 address, and uses IPv4-signaled MPLS LSPs that do not + require any explicit tunnel configuration. + + Throughout this document, the terminology of [RFC2460] and [RFC4364] + is used. + + In this document an 'IPv6 island' is a network running native IPv6 as + per [RFC2460]. A typical example of an IPv6 island would be a + customer's IPv6 site connected via its IPv6 Customer Edge (CE) router + to one (or more) Dual Stack Provider Edge router(s) of a Service + Provider. These IPv6 Provider Edge routers (6PE) are connected to an + IPv4 MPLS core network. + + + + + +De Clercq, et al.

However, the ISP may not (yet) want to upgrade its + network core to IPv6, nor use only IPv6-over-IPv4 tunneling. With + the 6PE approach described here, the provider only has to upgrade + some Provider Edge (PE) routers to Dual Stack operations so that they + behave as 6PE routers (and route reflectors if those are used for the + exchange of IPv6 reachability among 6PE routers) while leaving the + IPv4 MPLS core routers untouched. These 6PE routers provide + connectivity to IPv6 islands. They may also provide other services + simultaneously (IPv4 connectivity, IPv4 L3VPN services, L2VPN + services, etc.). Also with the 6PE approach, no tunnels need to be + explicitly configured, and no IPv4 headers need to be inserted in + front of the IPv6 packets between the customer and provider edge. + + The ISP obtains IPv6 connectivity to its peers and upstreams using + means outside of the scope of this document, and its 6PE routers + readvertise it over the IPv4 MPLS core with MP-BGP. + + The interface between the edge router of the IPv6 island (Customer + Edge (CE) router) and the 6PE router is a native IPv6 interface which + can be physical or logical. A routing protocol (IGP or EGP) may run + between the CE router and the 6PE router for the distribution of IPv6 + reachability information. Alternatively, static routes and/or a + default route may be used on the 6PE router and the CE router to + control reachability. An IPv6 island may connect to the provider + network over more than one interface. + + The 6PE approach described in this document can be used for customers + that already have an IPv4 service from the network provider and + additionally require an IPv6 service, as well as for customers that + require only IPv6 connectivity. + + + + +De Clercq, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 4798 6PE February 2007 + + + The scenario is also described in [RFC4029]. + + Note that the 6PE approach specified in this document provides global + IPv6 reachability. Support of IPv6 VPNs is not within the scope of + this document and is addressed in [RFC4659]. + + Deployment of the 6PE approach over an existing IPv4 MPLS cloud does + not require an introduction of new mechanisms in the core (other than + potentially those described at the end of Section 3 for dealing with + dynamic MTU discovery). Configuration and operations of the 6PE + approach have a lot of similarities with the configuration and + operations of an IPv4 VPN service ([RFC4364]) or IPv6 VPN service + ([RFC4659]) over an IPv4 MPLS core because they all use MP-BGP to + distribute non-IPv4 reachability information for transport over an + IPv4 MPLS Core. However, the configuration and operations of the 6PE + approach is somewhat simpler, since it does not involve all the VPN + concepts such as Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRFs) tables. + +1.1. Requirements Language + + 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. Protocol Overview + + Each IPv6 site is connected to at least one Provider Edge router that + is located on the border of the IPv4 MPLS cloud. We call such a + router a 6PE router. The 6PE router MUST be dual stack IPv4 and + IPv6. The 6PE router MUST be configured with at least one IPv4 + address on the IPv4 side and at least one IPv6 address on the IPv6 + side. The configured IPv4 address needs to be routable in the IPv4 + cloud, and there needs to be a label bound via an IPv4 label + distribution protocol to this IPv4 route. + + As a result of this, every considered 6PE router knows which MPLS + label to use to send packets to any other 6PE router. Note that an + MPLS network offering BGP/MPLS IP VPN services already fulfills these + requirements. + + No extra routes need to be injected in the IPv4 cloud. + + We call the 6PE router receiving IPv6 packets from an IPv6 site an + ingress 6PE router (relative to these IPv6 packets). We call a 6PE + router forwarding IPv6 packets to an IPv6 site an egress 6PE router + (relative to these IPv6 packets). + + + + + +De Clercq, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 4798 6PE February 2007 + + + Interconnecting IPv6 islands over an IPv4 MPLS cloud takes place + through the following steps: + + 1. Exchange IPv6 reachability information among 6PE routers with MP- + BGP [RFC2545]: + + The 6PE routers MUST exchange the IPv6 prefixes over MP-BGP + sessions as per [RFC2545] running over IPv4. The MP-BGP Address + Family Identifier (AFI) used MUST be IPv6 (value 2). In doing so, + the 6PE routers convey their IPv4 address as the BGP Next Hop for + the advertised IPv6 prefixes. The IPv4 address of the egress 6PE + router MUST be encoded as an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address in the BGP + Next Hop field. This encoding is consistent with the definition + of an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address in [RFC4291] as an "address type + used to represent the address of IPv4 nodes as IPv6 addresses". + In addition, the 6PE MUST bind a label to the IPv6 prefix as per + [RFC3107]. The Subsequence Address Family Identifier (SAFI) used + in MP-BGP MUST be the "label" SAFI (value 4) as defined in + [RFC3107]. Rationale for this and label allocation policies are + discussed in Section 3. + + 2. Transport IPv6 packets from the ingress 6PE router to the egress + 6PE router over IPv4-signaled LSPs: + + The ingress 6PE router MUST forward IPv6 data over the IPv4- + signaled LSP towards the egress 6PE router identified by the IPv4 + address advertised in the IPv4-mapped IPv6 address of the BGP Next + Hop for the corresponding IPv6 prefix. + + As required by the BGP specification [RFC4271], PE routers form a + full peering mesh unless Route Reflectors are used. + +3. Transport over IPv4-signaled LSPs and IPv6 Label Binding + + In this approach, the IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses allow a 6PE router + that has to forward an IPv6 packet to automatically determine the + IPv4-signaled LSP to use for a particular IPv6 destination by looking + at the MP-BGP routing information. + + The IPv4-signaled LSPs can be established using any existing + technique for label setup [RFC3031] (LDP, RSVP-TE, etc.). + + To ensure interoperability among systems that implement the 6PE + approach described in this document, all such systems MUST support + tunneling using IPv4-signaled MPLS LSPs established by LDP [RFC3036]. + + When tunneling IPv6 packets over the IPv4 MPLS backbone, rather than + successively prepend an IPv4 header and then perform label imposition + + + +De Clercq, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 4798 6PE February 2007 + + + based on the IPv4 header, the ingress 6PE Router MUST directly + perform label imposition of the IPv6 header without prepending any + IPv4 header. The (outer) label imposed MUST correspond to the IPv4- + signaled LSP starting on the ingress 6PE Router and ending on the + egress 6PE Router. + + While this approach could theoretically operate in some situations + using a single level of labels, there are significant advantages in + using a second level of labels that are bound to IPv6 prefixes via + MP-BGP advertisements in accordance with [RFC3107]. + + For instance, the use of a second level label allows Penultimate Hop + Popping (PHP) on the IPv4 Label Switch Router (LSR) upstream of the + egress 6PE router, without any IPv6 capabilities/upgrades on the + penultimate router; this is because it still transmits MPLS packets + even after the PHP (instead of having to transmit IPv6 packets and + encapsulate them appropriately). + + Also, an existing IPv4-signaled LSP that is using "IPv4 Explicit NULL + label" over the last hop (e.g., because that LSP is already being + used to transport IPv4 traffic with the Pipe Diff-Serv Tunneling + Model as defined in [RFC3270]) could not be used to carry IPv6 with a + single label since the "IPv4 Explicit NULL label" cannot be used to + carry native IPv6 traffic (see [RFC3032]), while it could be used to + carry labeled IPv6 traffic (see [RFC4182]). + + This is why a second label MUST be used with the 6PE approach. + + The label bound by MP-BGP to the IPv6 prefix indicates to the egress + 6PE Router that the packet is an IPv6 packet. This label advertised + by the egress 6PE Router with MP-BGP MAY be an arbitrary label value, + which identifies an IPv6 routing context or outgoing interface to + send the packet to, or MAY be the IPv6 Explicit Null Label. An + ingress 6PE Router MUST be able to accept any such advertised label. + + [RFC2460] requires that every link in the IPv6 Internet have an MTU + of 1280 octets or larger. Therefore, on MPLS links that are used for + transport of IPv6, as per the 6PE approach, and that do not support + link-specific fragmentation and reassembly, the MTU must be + configured to at least 1280 octets plus the encapsulation overhead. + + Some IPv6 hosts might be sending packets larger than the MTU + available in the IPv4 MPLS core and rely on Path MTU discovery to + learn about those links. To simplify MTU discovery operations, one + option is for the network administrator to engineer the MTU on the + core facing interfaces of the ingress 6PE consistent with the core + MTU. ICMP 'Packet Too Big' messages can then be sent back by the + ingress 6PE without the corresponding packets ever entering the MPLS + + + +De Clercq, et al. Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 4798 6PE February 2007 + + + core. Otherwise, routers in the IPv4 MPLS network have the option to + generate an ICMP "Packet Too Big" message using mechanisms as + described in Section 2.3.2, "Tunneling Private Addresses through a + Public Backbone" of [RFC3032]. + + Note that in the above case, should a core router with an outgoing + link with an MTU smaller than 1280 receive an encapsulated IPv6 + packet larger than 1280, then the mechanisms of [RFC3032] may result + in the "Packet Too Big" message never reaching the sender. This is + because, according to [RFC4443], the core router will build an ICMP + "Packet Too Big" message filled with the invoking packet up to 1280 + bytes, and when forwarding downstream towards the egress PE as per + [RFC3032], the MTU of the outgoing link will cause the packet to be + dropped. This may cause significant operational problems; the + originator of the packets will notice that his data is not getting + through, without knowing why and where they are discarded. This + issue would only occur if the above recommendation (to configure MTU + on MPLS links of at least 1280 octets plus encapsulation overhead) is + not adhered to (perhaps by misconfiguration). + +4. Crossing Multiple IPv4 Autonomous Systems + + This section discusses the case where two IPv6 islands are connected + to different Autonomous Systems (ASes). + + Like in the case of multi-AS backbone operations for IPv4 VPNs + described in Section 10 of [RFC4364], three main approaches can be + distinguished: + + a. eBGP redistribution of IPv6 routes from AS to neighboring AS + + This approach is the equivalent for exchange of IPv6 routes to + procedure (a) described in Section 10 of [RFC4364] for the + exchange of VPN-IPv4 routes. + + In this approach, the 6PE routers use IBGP (according to [RFC2545] + and [RFC3107] and as described in this document for the single-AS + situation) to redistribute labeled IPv6 routes either to an + Autonomous System Border Router (ASBR) 6PE router, or to a route + reflector of which an ASBR 6PE router is a client. The ASBR then + uses eBGP to redistribute the (non-labeled) IPv6 routes to an ASBR + in another AS, which in turn distributes them to the 6PE routers + in that AS as described earlier in this specification, or perhaps + to another ASBR, which in turn distributes them etc. + + + + + + + +De Clercq, et al. Standards Track [Page 7] + +RFC 4798 6PE February 2007 + + + There may be one, or multiple, ASBR interconnection(s) across any + two ASes. IPv6 needs to be activated on the inter-ASBR links and + each ASBR 6PE router has at least one IPv6 address on the + interface to that link. + + No inter-AS LSPs are used. There is effectively a separate mesh + of LSPs across the 6PE routers within each AS. + + In this approach, the ASBR exchanging IPv6 routes may peer over + IPv6 or IPv4. The exchange of IPv6 routes MUST be carried out as + per [RFC2545]. + + Note that the peering ASBR in the neighboring AS to which the IPv6 + routes were distributed with eBGP, should in its turn redistribute + these routes to the 6PEs in its AS using IBGP and encoding its own + IPv4 address as the IPv4-mapped IPv6 BGP Next Hop. + + b. eBGP redistribution of labeled IPv6 routes from AS to neighboring + AS + + This approach is the equivalent for exchange of IPv6 routes to + procedure (b) described in Section 10 of [RFC4364] for the + exchange of VPN-IPv4 routes. + + In this approach, the 6PE routers use IBGP (as described earlier + in this document for the single-AS situation) to redistribute + labeled IPv6 routes either to an Autonomous System Border Router + (ASBR) 6PE router, or to a route reflector of which an ASBR 6PE + router is a client. The ASBR then uses eBGP to redistribute the + labeled IPv6 routes to an ASBR in another AS, which in turn + distributes them to the 6PE routers in that AS as described + earlier in this specification, or perhaps to another ASBR, which + in turn distributes them, etc. + + There may be one, or multiple, ASBR interconnection(s) across any + two ASes. IPv6 may or may not be activated on the inter-ASBR + links. + + This approach requires that there be label switched paths + established across ASes. Hence the corresponding considerations + described for procedure (b) in Section 10 of [RFC4364] apply + equally to this approach for IPv6. + + In this approach, the ASBR exchanging IPv6 routes may peer over + IPv4 or IPv6 (in which case IPv6 obviously needs to be activated + on the inter-ASBR link). When peering over IPv6, the exchange of + labeled IPv6 routes MUST be carried out as per [RFC2545] and + [RFC3107]. When peering over IPv4, the exchange of labeled IPv6 + + + +De Clercq, et al. Standards Track [Page 8] + +RFC 4798 6PE February 2007 + + + routes MUST be carried out as per [RFC2545] and [RFC3107] with + encoding of the IPv4 address of the ASBR as an IPv4-mapped IPv6 + address in the BGP Next Hop field. + + c. Multi-hop eBGP redistribution of labeled IPv6 routes between + source and destination ASes, with eBGP redistribution of labeled + IPv4 routes from AS to neighboring AS. + + This approach is the equivalent for exchange of IPv6 routes to + procedure (c) described in Section 10 of [RFC4364] for exchange of + VPN-IPv4 routes. + + In this approach, IPv6 routes are neither maintained nor + distributed by the ASBR routers. The ASBR routers need not be + dual stack, but may be IPv4/MPLS-only routers. An ASBR needs to + maintain labeled IPv4 /32 routes to the 6PE routers within its AS. + It uses eBGP to distribute these routes to other ASes. ASBRs in + any transit ASes will also have to use eBGP to pass along the + labeled IPv4 /32 routes. This results in the creation of an IPv4 + label switched path from the ingress 6PE router to the egress 6PE + router. Now 6PE routers in different ASes can establish multi-hop + eBGP connections to each other over IPv4, and can exchange labeled + IPv6 routes (with an IPv4-mapped IPv6 BGP Next Hop) over those + connections. + + IPv6 need not be activated on the inter-ASBR links. + + The considerations described for procedure (c) in Section 10 of + [RFC4364] with respect to possible use of multi-hop eBGP + connections via route-reflectors in different ASes, as well as + with respect to the use of a third label in case the IPv4 /32 + routes for the PE routers are NOT made known to the P routers, + apply equally to this approach for IPv6. + + This approach requires that there be IPv4 label switched paths + established across the ASes leading from a packet's ingress 6PE + router to its egress 6PE router. Hence the considerations + described for procedure (c) in Section 10 of [RFC4364], with + respect to LSPs spanning multiple ASes, apply equally to this + approach for IPv6. + + Note also that the exchange of IPv6 routes can only start after + BGP has created IPv4 connectivity between the ASes. + + + + + + + + +De Clercq, et al. Standards Track [Page 9] + +RFC 4798 6PE February 2007 + + +5. Security Considerations + + The extensions defined in this document allow BGP to propagate + reachability information about IPv6 routes over an MPLS IPv4 core + network. As such, no new security issues are raised beyond those + that already exist in BGP-4 and use of MP-BGP for IPv6. + + The security features of BGP and corresponding security policy + defined in the ISP domain are applicable. + + For the inter-AS distribution of IPv6 routes according to case (a) of + Section 4 of this document, no new security issues are raised beyond + those that already exist in the use of eBGP for IPv6 [RFC2545]. + + For the inter-AS distribution of IPv6 routes according to case (b) + and (c) of Section 4 of this document, the procedures require that + there be label switched paths established across the AS boundaries. + Hence the appropriate trust relationships must exist between and + among the set of ASes along the path. Care must be taken to avoid + "label spoofing". To this end an ASBR 6PE SHOULD only accept labeled + packets from its peer ASBR 6PE if the topmost label is a label that + it has explicitly signaled to that peer ASBR 6PE. + + Note that for the inter-AS distribution of IPv6 routes, according to + case (c) of Section 4 of this document, label spoofing may be more + difficult to prevent. Indeed, the MPLS label distributed with the + IPv6 routes via multi-hop eBGP is directly sent from the egress 6PE + to ingress 6PEs in another AS (or through route reflectors). This + label is advertised transparently through the AS boundaries. When + the egress 6PE that sent the labeled IPv6 routes receives a data + packet that has this particular label on top of its stack, it may not + be able to verify whether the label was pushed on the stack by an + ingress 6PE that is allowed to do so. As such, one AS may be + vulnerable to label spoofing in a different AS. The same issue + equally applies to the option (c) of Section 10 of [RFC4364]. Just + as it is the case for [RFC4364], addressing this particular security + issue is for further study. + +6.
