2 Technology Basics Integrates label-based forwarding paradigm with network layer routing label forwarding + label swapping similar to ATM/FR switching tables constructed using IP routing protocol(s) Advantages: improves the price/performance of network layer routing MPLS switching algorithm simpler and faster than IP routing Processor-intensive packet analysis and classification happens only once at the ingress edge But MPLS is not only a method to make routers much more faster improves the scalability of the network layer (slow lookup of huge IP routing tables etc.) provides greater flexibility in the delivery of (new) routing services new routing services may be added without change to the forwarding paradigm Multiple VRF-based VPNs, traffic-engineering, integrates IP routing with VC-based networks (like ATM) 2

3 MPLS Operation in Brief Standard IP routing protocol used in MPLS routing domain (OSPF, IS-IS, ) <IP prefix, label > mapping created by egress router i.e. router at MPLS domain edge used as exit point for that IP prefix Label distribution protocols used to distribute label bindings for IP prefixes between adjacent neighbors label has local significance Ingress LSR receives IP packets Performs classification and assigns label Forwards labeled packet to MPLS core Core LSRs switch labeled packets based on label value Egress router removes label before forwarding packet out of MPLS domain performs normal L3 routing table lookup 3

4 MPLS position in OSI RM MPLS operates between link and network layer Deals with L3 routing/addressing Uses L2 labels for fast switching Inherent labels of some L2 technologies ATM VPI/VCI, Frame Relay DLCI, optical switching lambdas, Additional shim headers placed between L2 and L3 headers it s presence indicated in L2 header Ethernet EtherType, PPP Protocol field, Frame Relay NLPID, 4

5 Label-based packet forwarding Packet marked with labels at ingress MPLS router Allows to apply various rules to impose labels destination network prefix, QoS, policy routing (traffic engineering), VPNs, labels imply both routes (IP destination prefixes) and service attributes (QoS, TE, VPN, ) Multiple labels can be imposed (label stack) allows special applications (hierarchical MPLS forwarding) Packet quickly forwarded according to labels through MPLS core uses only label swapping, no IP routing IP routing information used only to build forwarding tables, not for actual (potentially slow) IP routing label-switch paths determined by IP routing protocol implementation of MPLS is only as good as underlying routing protocol Label removed at egress router and packet forwarded using standard L3 IP routing table lookup 5

6 Components of MPLS architecture Forwarding Component (data plane) brute force forwarding using label forwarding information base (LFIB) Control Component (control plane) Creates and updates label bindings (LFIB) <IP_prefix, label> MPLS node has to participate in routing protocol (IGP or static routing) including ATM switches in MPLS cell-mode Labels assignment is distributed to other MPLS peers using some sort of label distribution protocol (LDP) Control and forwarding functions are separated 6

7 MPLS Devices Label-Switch Router (LSR) Any router/switch participating on label assignment and distribution that supports label-based packet/cell switching LSR Classification Core LSR (P-Provider) Edge LSR (PE-Provider Edge) (Often the same kind of device, but configured differently) Frame-mode LSR MPLS-capable router with Ethernet interfaces Cell-mode LSR ATM switch with added functionality (control software) 7

8 Functions of Edge LSR Any LSR on MPLS domain edge, i.e. with non-mpls neighboring devices Performs label imposition and disposition Packets classified and label imposed Classification based on routing and policy requirements Traffic engineering, policy routing, QoS-based routing Information of L3 (and above) headers inspected only once at edge of the MPLS domain 8

9 Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) Packets classified into FECs at MPLS domain edge LSR according unicast routing destinations, QoS class, VPN, multicast group, traffic- engineered traffic class, FEC is a class of packets to be MPLS-switched the same way 9

10 Label switching path (LSP) Sequence of LSRs between ingress and egress (edge) LSRs + + sequence of assigned labels (local significance) Unidirectional For every forward equivalence class May diverge from IGP shortest path Path established by traffic engineering using explicit routing and label switching paths tunnels 10

11 Upstream and downstream neighbors From perspective of some particular LSR Related to particular destination (and FEC) Routing protocol s Next-hop address determines downstream neighbor Upstream neighbor is closer to data source whereas downstream neighbor is closer to the destination network 11

12 MPLS and IP routing interaction in LSR Incoming unlabeled packets IP routing process IP routing table routing information exchange (routing protocol) Outgoing unlabelled packets Incoming labeled packets MPLS Signalling protocol Control plane Label forwarding table Data plane label bindings exchange Outgoing labeled packets 12

13 Interaction of neighboring MPLS LSRs IP routing process IP routing table MPLS Signalling Protocol Routing information exchange label bindings exchange IP routing process IP routing table MPLS Signalling Protocol Label forwarding table Labeled packets Label forwarding table 13

14 Operation of edge LSR Incoming unlabeled packets Incoming labeled packets Resolving of recursive routes IP routing process IP routing table MPLS Signalling protocol IP forwarding table Label disposition and L3 lookup Label forwarding table routing information exchange ge label bindings exchange Outgoing unlabeled packets Outgoing labeled packets 14

15 Penultimate hop behavior Label at the top of label stack is removed not by egress routes at MPLS domain edge (as could be expected), but by it s upstream neighbor (penultimate hop) On egress router, packet could not be label- switched anyway Egress router has to perform L3 lookup to find more specific route commonly, egress router advertises single label for summary route Disposition of label imposed by egress router s upstream neighbor would introduce unnecessary overhead For that reason, upstream neighbor of egress router always pops label and sends packet to egress router unlabeled Egress LSR requests popping of label through label distribution protocol advertises implicit-null label for particular FEC 15

16 Label and label stack Label format (and length) dependent on L2 technology Labels have local-link significance, each LSR creates it s own label mappings Multiple labels may be imposed - >label stack Label bottom indicated by s bit Label stacking allows special MPLS applications (VPNs etc.) Packet switching is always based on the label on the top of stack 16

17 MPLS header Between L2 and L3 header MPLS header presence indicated in EtherType/PPP Protocol ID/Frame Relay NLPID 44 octets (32b) 20 bits label value 33 bits Exp (experimental) sometimes used for QoS 88 bits MPLS TTL (Time to Live) 11 bit S bit indicates bottom of stack 17

18 Label Bindings Distribution 18

19 Label Distribution Protocol Functionality Used to advertise <IP_prefix, label> bindings Used to create Label Information Base (LIB) and Label Forwarding F Information Base (LFIB) LIB maintains all prefixes advertised by MPLS neighbors LFIB maintains only prefixes advertised by next hops for individual routes i.e. those actually used for label switching next-hop determined by traditional IGP LFIB used for actual label switching, LIB maintains labels which may be useful if IGP routes change 19

20 Label Retention Modes Liberal mode LSR retains labels for FEC from all neighbors Requires more memory and label space Improves latency after IP routing paths change Conservative mode Only labels from next-hop for IP prefix are maintained next-hop determined from IP routing protocol Saves memory and label space 20

21 Label Distribution Modes Independent LSP control LSR binds labels to FECs and advertises them whether or not the LSR itself has received a label from it s next- hop for that FEC Ordered LSP control LSR only binds and advertises label for FEC if - it is the egress LSR for that FEC - it received a label binding from next-hop LSR 21

22 Protocols for Label Distribution Tag Distribution Protocol (TDP) Cisco Proprietary TCP port 711 Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) IETF standard TCP port 646 LDP and TDP have the same functionality RSVP-TE used for MPLS traffic engineering BGP implements MPLS VPNs (peer model) PIM enables MPLS-based multicasts Label bindings are exchanged between neighboring routers in special cases also between non-neighboring routers such as internal labels in MPLS VPNs 22

23 Label Distribution Protocol (LDP): Message Types Discovery messages (hellos) UDP Used to discover and continually check for presence of LDP peers Once neighbor is discovered, LDP session is established over TCP messages to establish, maintain and terminate session label mappings advertisement messages create, modify, delete error notification message 23

24 Frame-mode and Cell-mode LSRs 24

25 Frame-mode LSRs Frame/Packet processing devices such as routers or Frame Relay switches Labeled packets treated as L2 frames Shim header between L2 and L3 header Presence of MPLS header indicated in L2 header 25

26 Frame-mode Label Distribution Unsolicited downstream Labels distributed automatically to upstream neighbors Downstream LSR advertises labels for particular FECs to the upstream neighbor Independent control of label assignment Label assigned as soon as new IP prefix appears in IP routing table Mapping stored into LIB LSR may send (switch) labeled packets to next hop even if next-hop itself does not have label for switching that FEC further Liberal retention mode All received label mappings are retained 26

27 Cell-mode LSRs ATM switches LSRs switch cells, not packets packets fragmented into cells VPI/VCI used to carry labels Additional piece of software needed to integrate ATM switches with IP routing (IGP) and implement label distribution protocols - Label Switch Controller needed to provide label assignment and distribution and proper building of switching tables (ATM layer) 27

28 Limitations of ATM switches used with MPLS ATM switches cannot perform IP lookup and label stack lookup Packets chopped into ATM cells VPI/VCI serves as label ATM switches cannot handle IP packets directly hop-by-hop Virtual circuits have to be created created dynamically for every FEC Signalling between neighboring ATM switches is needed to dynamically create VCs VPI=0, VCI=32, aal5snap encapsulation between ATM Edge LSR and ATM LSR and between two ATM LSRs ATM switching tables created according to signalling requests Additional ATM switch software required 28

29 Downstream on demand label assignment Label request for particular prefix is sent by ingress LSR step-by-step to destination egress LSR along IGP shortest path Upstream LSRs request label to downstream neighbors Downstream LSRs respond with labels upon request Egress LSR creates label mapping Label mapping propagated back to the source Labels assigned by all intermediate LSRs Uses conservative label retention mode LIB maintains only actually used labels because label request is sent to FEC s next hop only Labels assigned only on demand (initiated by ingress LSR) 29

30 Cell-mode Label Distribution Problem Unsolicited Downstream method cannot be used AAL5 cannot intermix cells of multiple Packet packets In if 1 2 In tag 100/5 100/7 (prefix) / /16 Out if 3 3 Out tag 101/4 101/4 Packet ??? /16 30

31 Cell-mode Label Assignment Principles ATM-LSR assigns unique label (VPI/ VCI pair) for every upstream neighbor LSR requests downstream neighbor to give one label (VPI/VCI) per FEC and per incoming interface (upstream neighbor) Separate VC created for every FEC from ingress LSR to egress edge LSR Disadvantage: many separated VCs for single FEC 31

32 Cell-mode Label Distribution: Unique Labels for Upstream Neighbors In if In tag (prefix) Out if Out tag Packet /5 100/ / / /4 101/6 Packet ??? /16 32

33 VC Merge Option Single label can be allocated for FEC if ATM switch avoids intermixing of cells of packets of that FEC coming from different ingoing interfaces at the same time LSR have to capture/buffer cells of incoming packets and send packets one after another at the outgoing interface Saves label space, limits number of VCs but requires additional processing at ATM-LSRs 33

34 VC Merge Operation In if In tag (prefix) Out if Out tag Packet /5 100/ / / /4 101/4 Packet ??? /1 34

35 MPLS Operation - Summary 1. Standard routing protocols create routing table 2. Label distribution protocol creates and distributes <IP-prefix, label> mappings 3. Ingress edge LSR receives IP packet, classifies it and imposes label 4. Core LSRs switch packets only using label switching without inspecting IP headers 5. Egress edge LSR disposes label and forwards packet according to IP routing table 35

36 MPLS Applications IP header and forwarding decision decoupling allows for better flexibility and new applications 36

37 Most Popular MPLS Applications Integration of IP and ATM MPLS Traffic engineering MPLS VPN 37

38 Integration of IP and ATM IP routing tightly integrated with multipurpose ATM backbone using MPLS ATM routing protocols like PNNI and signalling protocols for SVCs are not necessary Eliminates complex technologies to map between IP and ATM routing information and addressing no need for solutions like LANE, CLIP, NHRP and MPOA based on emulation of classical LAN/WAN technologies over ATM ATM infrastructure may be fully utilized not as with overlay model 38

39 MPLS Traffic Engineering 39

40 MPLS TE Goals Minimizes network congestion, improve network performance Spreads flows to multiple paths i.e. diverges them from shortest path calculated by IGP More efficient network resource usage 40

41 MPLS TE Principle Originating LSR sets up a TE LSP to terminating LSR through a explicitly specified path defined by sequence of intermediate LSRs either strict or loose explicit route LSP is calculated automatically using constraint-based routing or manually using some sort of management tool 41

42 MPLS-TE Mechanisms Link information distribution Path computation LSP signalling RSVP-TE accomplishes label assignment during MPLS tunnel creation signalling not needed if path calculation is performed manually Selection of traffic that will take the TE-LSP by QoS class or another policy routing criteria 42

43 Link Information Distribution Utilizes extensions of OSPF or IS-IS to distribute links current states and attributes OSPF LSA type 10 (opaque) Maximum bandwidth, reservable bandwidth, available bandwidth, flags, TE metric Constraint-based routing Takes into account links current states and attributes when calculating routes Constraint-based SPF calculation excludes links that do not comply with required LSP parameters 43

44 LSP Preemption Support for creation of LSPs of different priorities with preemption option setup and holding priority setup priority is compared with holding priority of existing LSPs 00 (best) 7 (worst) Preemption modes Hard just tears preempted LSP down Soft signalls pending preemption to the headend of existing LSP to give it opportunity to reroute traffic 44

45 LSP Path Calculation in Multiarea Environment Splitting network into multiple areas limits state information flooding Headend specifies path to route LSP setup requests using list of ABRs loose routing Each ABR calculates and reserves path over connected area and requests another ABR on the path to take care of next section 45

46 Fast Reroute In case of node or link failure, backup LSP may be automatically initiated (in tens of milliseconds) Fast Reroute option must be requested during LSP setup Global or Local restoration 46

47 Fast Reroute - Global restoration New LSP is set up by headend LSP failure is signalled to the headend by PathErr RSVP message Headend has the most complete routing constraints information to establish a new LSP 47

48 Fast Reroute - Local restoration Detour LSP around failed link/node LSR that detected the failure (called Point of Local Repair) initiates new LSP Detour LSPs are manually preconfigured or calculated dynamically by Point of Local Repair Detour joins back the original LSP at the Merge Point i.e. at Next hop for link protection, Next Next hop for Node protection Facility Backup (commonly used) - double labelling is used on detour path external tag is dropped before packet enters Merge Point packets arrive to the Merge Point with the same label as they would if they came along original LSP One-to-One backup does not use label stacking Each LSP has it s own backup path 48

49 MPLS and Diffserv LSR uses the same mechanism as traditional router to implement different Per-Hop Behaviors (PHBs) 22 types of LSPs (may coexist on single network): EXP-inferred LSPs can transport multiple traffic classes simultaneously EXP bits in shim header used to hold DSCP value Map between EXP and PHB signalled during LSP setup extension of LDP and RSVP (new TLV defined) Label-inferred LSPs can transport just one traffic class Fixed mapping of <DSCP, EXP> to PHB standardized 49

50 Diffserv Tunneling over MPLS There are two markings of the packet (EXP, DSCP). There are different models to handle interaction between multiple markings. Pipe model transfers inside marking untouched useful for interconnection of two Diffserv domains using MPLS Uniform Model makes LSP an extension of DiffServ domain 50

51 MPLS VPNs 51

52 VPN Implementation Options Solution to implement potentially overlapping address spaces of independent customers: Overlay model Infrastructure provides tunells between CPE routers FR/ATM virtual circuits, IP tunnels (GRE, IPSec, ) Peer-to-peer model Provider edge router exchange routing information with customer edge router Customer routes in service provider s IGP Need to solve VPN separation and overlapping customer addressing traditionally by complicated filtering Optimal routing between customer sites through shared infrastructure data don t need to follow tunnel paths 52

53 MPLS VPN Basic Principles MPLS helps to separate traffic from different VPNs without usage of overlay model tunneling techniques Routes from different VPNs kept separated, multiple routing tables implemented at edge routers (one for each VPN) Uses MPLS label stack: outer label identifies egress edge router, inner label identifies VPN To allow propagation of IP prefixes from all VPNs to the core, potentially overlapping addresses of separated VPNs is made unique with Route Distinguisher (different for every VPN) Those IP-VPN (VPNv4) addresses are propagated between PE routers using extended BGP (Multiprotocol BGP, MP-BGP) MP-BGP also distributes (inner) labels identifying particular VPN at egress edge router (using BGP attributes) 53

54 MPLS VPN advantages Integrates advantages of overlay and peer-to-peer model Overlay model advantages: security and customer isolation Peer-to-peer model advantages: routing optimality Simplicity of new CPEs addition 54

55 MPLS VPN Implementation VPN defined as set of sites sharing the same routing information Site may belong to multiple VPNs Multiple sites (from different VPNs) may be connected to the same PE router PE routers maintains only routes for connected VPNs and backbone routes needed to reach other PEs Increases scalability Decreases performance requirements of PE router PE router uses IP at customer network interface(s) and MPLS at backbone interfaces Backbone uses only label switching IGP routing protocol used only to establish optimal label switch paths Utilizes MPLS label stack Inner label identifies VPN Outer label identifies egress LSR 55

56 Routing information exchange P-P and P-PE routers Using IGP Needed to determine paths between PEs over MPLS backbone PE-PE routers (non-adjacent) Using MP-iBGP sessions Needed to exchange routing information between routing tables for particular VPN (VRFs) commonly between VRFs of the same VPN 56

57 Routing information in PE routers PE routers maintain multiple separated routing tables Global routing table filled with backbone routes (from IGP) allows to reach other PE routers VRF (VPN routing & forwarding) Separate routing tables for individual VPNs Every router interface assigned to a single VRF VRF instance can be seen as virtual router 57

62 PE-to to-pe VPN Route Propagation PE router exports information from VRF to MP- BGP prefix uniqueness ensured using Route Distinguisher (64bit ID) VPN-V4 prefix = RD + IPv4 prefix Route exported with destination VRF ID (route target) Multiprotocol (MP) ) ibgp i session between PE routers over MPLS backbone (P routers) Propagates VPNv4 routes BGP attributes identify site-of-origin and route target Opposite PE router imports information from MP- BGP into VRF routes imported into particular VRFs according to BGP Route Target attribute values 62

63 MPLS VPN BGP attributes Site of Origin (SOO) Identifies site where the route originated from avoids loops Route Target Controls where the route should be exported to i.e. to which VRF 63

64 Customer route advertisement from PE router (MP-BGP) PE router assigns RT, RD based on source VRF and SOO PE router assigns VPN (MPLS) label Identifies particular VRF (VPN site s routing table) Used as second label in the label stack Top-of-stack label identify egress PE router Route s next-hop rewritten to advertising PE router loopback interface MP-iBGP update sent to other PE routers 64

65 CE to PE routing information exchange CE router always exchanges routes with VRF assigned to interface connecting that CE router IGP (RIPv2,OSPF) External BGP Static routing or directly y connected networks Multiple instances of routing process (for every VRF) ) are running on PE router or separated routing contexts in single routing process 65

66 Overlapping of VPNs Site (VRF) may belong to multiple VPNs if addresses of all VPNs remain unique Useful for shared server farms, extranets etc. 66
