4 Introduction

5 Introduction Why mldp? Customers running MPLS in their network want to run Multicast natively over MPLS MPLS forwarding plane is shared between unicast and multicast By that unicast MPLS features are applied to multicast Separation of data plane and control plane has advantages 5

6 Introduction (cont) Why mldp? Simplification compared to PIM No shared tree / source tree switchover No (S,G,R) prune s No DR election No PIM registers No Asserts No Periodic messaging No Auto-RP/BSR 6

7 Introduction Extensions to LDP mldp is an extension to the IETF LDP RFC Procedures are documented in IETF RFC 6388 Joined effort by multiple vendors and customers. mldp reuses LDP protocol packets and neighbor adjacencies. mldp is a client of the LDP infrastructure. mldp allows to create P2MP and MP2MP LSP, we refer to these as Multipoint LSPs (MP LSPs). 7

8 Introduction Terminology P2MP - Point to Multi-point Like a PIM SSM tree MP2MP Multi-Point to Multi-Point Like a PIM Bidir tree MP LSP Multi-Point LSP, either P2MP or MP2MP Label Mapping Like a PIM Join Label Withdraw Like a PIM Prune Label Release, Notification Does not exist in PIM 8

9 FEC Encoding

10 FEC Encoding The mldp FEC Element FEC stands for Forwarding Equivalence Class FEC is a unique identifier of an forwarding entry; For unicast this is a Prefix For PIM it is a (S,G) or (*,G) The FEC in mldp is combination of 3 tuples; Tree Type Root Address Variable Length Opaque encoding. The Opaque field consists of TLV s Each service/application can have it own TLV type. Very flexible approach to make the FEC unique. 10

11 FEC Encoding LDP message encoding FEC elements are carried within a LDP FEC TLV mldp defines three FEC elements for MP LSPs P2MP FEC element MP2MP downstream FEC element MP2MP upstream FEC element LDP protocol consists of messages which carry TLVs Other TLV Label TLV Opaque Root Tree Type FEC Element FEC TLV Label Mapping Message 11

12 FEC Encoding The FEC Element encoding Type Address Family Address Length ~ Root Node Address ~ Opaque Length Opaque Value ~ ~ Field Type Description P2MP, MP2MP Up, MP2MP Down Address Family Address Family Numbers by IANA (IPv4 = 1, IPv6 = 2) Address Length Root Node Address Opaque Length Opaque field Length of the address IP address of MP LSP root (within MPLS core) Length of the Opaque encoding that follows TLV encoded 12

13 FEC Encoding The mldp Root address Root address is used to route the LSP through the network Very much like how PIM route s the tree using Source or RP. Each LSR in the path resolves next-hop of root address Label mapping message then sent to that next-hop Resulting in a dynamically created MP LSP No pre-computed, traffic engineered path 13

14 FEC Encoding Opaque Value Opaque field is a variable length value encoded as TLV mldp does not care what is encoded in the Opaque value Only the applications using the mldp LSP care. Value encoded is application specific It can represent the (S,G) stream. Or can be an LSP identifier (Default/Data MDTs in mvpn) 14

15 FEC Encoding The mldp Opaque TLV encoding Type < 255 Length Value ~ ~ Type name Type # Length Generic LSP ID 1 4 bytes { 4 byte ID } Value MVPN MDT 2 11 bytes { VPN-ID, MDT # } IPv4 In-band signalling 3 8 bytes { Source, Group } IPv6 In-band signalling 4 32 bytes { Source, Group } Recursive FEC 7 { FEC element } Recursive VPN FEC { RD, FEC element } 15

16 FEC Encoding The mldp Extended Opaque TLV encoding Type = 255 Extended Type Length (high) Length (low) Value ~ ~ Defined in case we exceed the available 255 types Currently not used First come first service allocation, no IETF draft needed. 16

17 Capability negotiation

18 Capability negotiation Why do we need it New FEC Elements added to LDP for mldp Don t know if your LDP neighbour understand the new FEC type Want to prevent certain types to be used in the network This is inconvenient while troubleshooting/deploying a feature For that reason Capability Negotiation has been defined for LDP 18

19 Capability negotiation RFC 5561 Allows advertising of capability TLVs At session initialisation time within the Initialisation Message Dynamically during the session within a Capabilities Message Several mldp capability TLVs are defined P2MP (Point to Multipoint) TLV 0x0508 MP2MP (Multipoint to Multipoint) TLV 0x0509 MBB (Make Before Break) TLV 0x050A Also use for other purposes (not only mldp) Typed Wildcard FEC Upstream Label Assignment 19

20 P2MP and MP2MP LSP building

21 P2MP & MP2MP LSPs Determining the upstream LDP neighbour In order to build a tree, the upstream LDP neighbour needs to be determined based on the Root address. This is similar to the RPF check with PIM. A unicast route lookup is done on the Root address until a directly connected next-hop is found. However, it is very likely there is no LDP neighbour with the same address as the next-hop. That is because the LDP session is run between the loopback addresses. Note, this is different with PIM. LDP announces all of its interfaces addresses to its neighbours. We use that address database to find the LDP neighbour. 21

22 P2MP & MP2MP LSPs Upstream LDP neighbour, example for root RP/0/3/CPU0:GSR2#sh route Routing entry for /32 Known via "ospf 0", distance 110, metric 3, type intra area Installed Feb 6 06:43: for 1w1d Routing Descriptor Blocks , from , via GigabitEthernet0/5/0/1 Route metric is 3 No advertising protos RP/0/3/CPU0:GSR2#sh mpls ldp neighbor LDP session Peer LDP Identifier: :0 TCP connection: : :646 Graceful Restart: No Session Holdtime: 180 sec State: Oper; Msgs sent/rcvd: 10114/10106; Downstream-Unsolicited Up time: 6d02h LDP Discovery Sources: GigabitEthernet0/5/0/1 Addresses bound to this peer: Determine upstream LDP peer for RP/0/3/CPU0:GSR2#sh mpls mldp neighbors addresses Wed Feb 15 05:51: UTC LDP remote address : LDP remote ID(s) : :0 22

23 P2MP & MP2MP LSPs Determining the downstream interface A Label Mapping is received over the LDP session. The source of the Label Mapping is the LDP-ID of the sender. In order to program forwarding, the interface and directly connected next-hop need to be found. This interface/next-hop does not come with the Label Mapping. Label Mapping only carries the Label. We use the LDP Discovery messages to know which interfaces are connected to the LDP neighbour. There is no equivalent to this in PIM 23

24 P2MP & MP2MP LSPs Downstream interface, example for LDP neighbour RP/0/1/CPU0:GSR3#sh mpls ldp neighbor Peer LDP Identifier: :0 TCP connection: : :17191 Graceful Restart: No Session Holdtime: 180 sec State: Oper; Msgs sent/rcvd: 11594/11605; Downstream-Unsolicited Up time: 1w0d LDP Discovery Sources: GigabitEthernet0/2/1/ Addresses bound to this peer: RP/0/1/CPU0:GSR3#sh mpls ldp discovery :0 det Local LDP Identifier: :0 Discovery Sources: Interfaces: GigabitEthernet0/2/1/2 (0x ) : xmit/recv Source address: ; Transport address: Hello interval: 5 sec (due in 1.7 sec) Quick-start: Enabled LDP Id: :0 Source address: ; Transport address: Hold time: 15 sec (local:15 sec, peer:15 sec) (expiring in 12.9 sec) LDP session Determine downstream interface for LDP peer

25 P2MP & MP2MP LSPs Upstream and Downstream ECMP There can be multiple upstream LDP neighbours to reach the root. There can be multiple downstream interfaces to reach a neighbour. We support per LSP load balancing across the candidates. 25

26 P2MP & MP2MP LSPs P2MP Overview P2MP LSP is rooted at Ingress LSR P2MP LSP is unidirectional. Egress LSRs initiate the tree creation using the unicast reachability to the root address. Receiver driven, hop-by-hop to root 26

30 P2MP & MP2MP LSPs MP2MP Overview MP2MP LSP allows multiple leaf LSRs to inject packets into tree MP2MP LSP is constructed using a downstream and an upstream path Downstream and upstream paths are merged such that we create a MP2MP LSP. A MP2MP LSP is MP2MP at control plane, but translates into a P2MP replication in the data plane. Downstream Path Much like a normal P2MP LSP Upstream Path Upstream path is like a P2P LSP upstream But inherits labels from the downstream path. 30

The number of label replications depends on the number of LDP neighbours participating in the MP2MP LSP. 34

35 P2MP & MP2MP LSPs MP2MP benefits A MP2MP LSP only creates 1 state in control plane. This is independent of the number of senders/receivers A full mesh of P2MP creates control plane state for each sender/receivers. A MP2MP LSP uses less labels for creating a MP2MP service compared to a full mesh of P2MP LSPs. 35

37 Root Node Redundancy

38 Root Node Redundancy Why do we need it The root node is a single point of failure Only one root node is active in an MP LSP In case the root is statically configured there is a need for redundancy. If the root is dynamically learned via BGP there is no need for redundancy procedures. Requirements are: Redundancy mechanism in the event of a root failure Fast convergence in selecting a new root 38

39 Root Node Redundancy Solution 1: Anycast root address Root inject address with different mask Longest match is preferred, in this example Root 2 When longest match disappears, use next best. Source Root 1 Leaf A CE Root 1 injects /31 Receiver Root 2 injects /32 Leaf B CE Root 2 Source Leaf C CE 39

40 Root Node Redundancy Solution 1: Anycast root address After the preferred root fails, the LSP is rerouted to the next best root based on the mask length. All MP2MP LSP s will prefer the same root node. There is a single MP2MP LSP at any given time, so no hot standby path. No load balancing over the anycast root s. This type of redundancy is a configuration trick! Also used for PIM. 40

41 Root Node Redundancy Solution 2: Hot standby Create two or more Hot Standby MP2MP LSPs root nodes Each leaf is configured with the same set of root nodes. Each leaf joins ALL the configured root nodes. Each leaf ACCEPTS from ALL roots Each leaf is ONLY allowed send to ONE selected root. 41

42 Root Node Redundancy Solution 2: Hot standby Leaf A select Root 1, leaf C selects root 2 as the preferred node. Leaf B gets the packet from A and C. Root 1 Leaf A CE Source Root 2 Leaf B CE Receiver Leaf C CE Source 42

43 Root Node Redundancy Solution 2: Hot standby Root selection is based on IGP reachability of the Leaf. Root 1 Leaf A CE Source Root 2 Leaf B CE Receiver Unicast routing update Leaf C CE Source 43

44 Root Node Redundancy Solution 2: Hot standby Switch to new root as fast as IGP convergence Root selection is a local leaf policy Can be based on IGP distance, load, etc Roots can share the tree load from leafs A separate MP2MP LSP is created for each root Multi-path load balancing is supported In both the upstream and downstream directions 44

45 Root Node Redundancy Summary Two types of redundancy Anycast root node redundancy Hot standby redundancy Additional state vs. failover time Both are implemented Needed only when root node is statically configured Switchover is in the order of seconds (depending on IGP) 45

46 Fast ReRoute

47 mldp Fast ReRoute Link Protection mldp shares the downstream assigned label space that unicast is using. For the MPLS forwarding plane there is in essence no difference between multicast packets or unicast packets. Since the forwarding plane is shared with unicast, certain unicast feature are inherited for multicast, like FRR. The link can be protected by a TE P2P LSP or a LDP LFA P2P LSP. 47

48 mldp Fast ReRoute Link Protection TE/LFA backup Tunnel For link A C Root L18 A L20 L17 Link A B L16 mldp D 1. There is a unicast backup P2P Tunnel that protects Link A. 2. mldp LSP is build from D, B, A towards the root. 3. Router A installs a downstream forwarding replication over link A to router B. 48

49 mldp FastReRoute Link Protection TE/LFA backup Tunnel For link A C PHP Root L18 A L20 L17 Link A B L16 mldp D 1. Link A breaks 2. Traffic over Link A is rerouted over the backup tunnel by imposing the Tunnel label Router C does PhP and strips the outer label Router B receives the mldp packets with label 17 and forwards as normal to router D. 49

50 mldp FastReRoute Link Protection TE/LFA backup Tunnel For link A C PHP Root L18 A D 1. mldp is notified that the root is reachable via Router C and will converge. Link A 2. A new mldp path is build to router A via C. L20 L22 L B mldp 3. Router A will forward packets natively using mldp LSP to B (L22). 4. Temporarily router B will receive packets over the backup P2P tunnel and natively, due to the RPF check on the label only the TE received packets are forwarded 5. Router B uses a make-before-break trigger to switch from the backup tunnel to new native mldp LSP, label 17 to Router B prunes off the backup tunnel with a label withdraw to router A L21 L16 50

51 mldp Fast ReRoute Link Protection There are 2 make before break triggers Additional signaling is added in mldp to notify the downstream router the LSP is completed. As what is documented in the mldp RFC. Apply a configurable delay before switching to the new path. A combination of both is possible. 51

52 mldp Fast ReRoute MP2MP MP2MP LSP s are translated into a set of P2MP replications in forwarding. For FRR, there is no special handling needed for MP2MP because forwarding is based on P2MP. MP2MP is supported for both TE tunnel and LFA backup tunnels. 52

53 Make Before Break

54 Make Before Break Introduction With Make Before Break (MBB) we setup a new tree before we tear down the old tree This makes sense when the old tree is still forwarding packets This is typically true in combination with FRR IGP based convergence based in link-up events or metric changes When the old tree is broken, MBB does not help! MBB and FRR go hand-in-hand MLDP MBB uses Query and Ack signalling to determine the new tree is ready to forward packets. 54

55 Make Before Break MBB Request and Ack B Label Map Label Map with MBB Request Notification with MBB Ack Root L18 A C E L16 mldp D 1. Initial tree is from C to B to A 2. Link E - C comes up and provides a better path to reach the root via A 3. C re-converges to E sending a Label Map with MBB Request 4. E has no state yet, forwards the MBB Request to A 5. A has active forwarding state, sends a notification with MBB Ack down the tree, hop-by-hop to C. Packets are also forwarded. 55

56 Make Before Break Switch to new path B Label Withdraw Notification with MBB Ack Root A C E mldp D 1. As soon as C received the MBB Ack start accepting from E (Label 23) start dropping from B (Label 21) 2. Break the old LSP (withdraw) 56

57 Make Before Break FRR B LDP session TE/LFA P2P backup tunnel Root A C 1. Recall that with FRR we use the MBB trigger on C to switch from TE tunnel to a new native path, ie. start accepting from L21, dropping from L17 2. C is the tail-end of a Tunnel, so don t see any tunnel.. for C POV packets are coming from A!! 3. C does MBB procedures between LDP neighbor A and B 4. How can C sent a withdraw to LDP neighbor A while Link AC is down? 5. A and C have configured session protection, neighbors stays up 6. LDP neighbors are established over TCP session between loopbacks, connectivity remains between A and C via B. 57

58 Make Before Break Summary Label Mapping with MBB Request is forwarded upstream until: A node is found with active forwarding state The root node is reached The MBB Ack is send down the tree via a LDP Notification message. As soon as the node received the MBB Ack, the tree is ready. Additional delay may be added to clean up the old tree to allow the platform to program all the forwarding state to the linecards. MBB is needed to avoid additional loss when moving from the FRR TE tunnel to a new native path. LDP session protection is used to keep the LDP neighbour up. LDP connectivity remains due to TCP session. 58

59 Recursive FEC

60 Recursive FEC Introduction Recursive FEC is used to route an mldp LSP across (part) of the network that may not have IGP reachability to the Root of LSP. RFC 6512 This is similar to the PIM RPF vector The original FEC is encapsulated in a new FEC. The Root of the new FEC is an reachable intermediate node in the network. Applicability: Carriers Carrier (CsC) BGP free core Seamless MPLS 60

61 Recursive FEC BGP free core / seamless MPLS / Inter-AS Root BGP P2MP Root Opaque P2MP ABR1 FEC P2MP Root Opaque Access ABR1 Recursive FEC P Core ABR2 Access Label mapping comes in from Access to ABR2 with FEC ABR2 looks up Root in routing table, finds BGP route next-hop ABR1 ABR1 becomes Root for the recursive FEC LSP is routed through core based on reachability to ABR1! ABR1 retrieves the original FEC from the Opaque encoding and continues 61

62 Recursive FEC Multiple recursions Root BGP BGP P2MP Root Opaque P2MP ABR1 FEC P2MP ABR2 FEC P2MP Root Opaque ABR1 ABR2 ABR3 Access Core Recursive FEC Core Access Multiple recursions are supported ABR2 find a BGP route for Root and immediately encodes into a new FEC This is typical for an Inter-AS deployment between the ASBRs 62

65 Recursive FEC Encodings There are two types of recursive encodings A global table recursive encoding Used for BGP free core Seamless MPLS Inter-AS A VPN recursive encoding. Carriers Carrier (CsC). Inter-AS The only difference is the RD being part of the encoding. 65

66 Recursive FEC The Recursive Opaque Encoding Type == 7 Length ~ P2MP or MP2MP FEC element ~ Field Type Length FEC element Description Recursive Opaque Encoding, type 7 (RFC6512) Variable, depending on FEC element The complete mldp FEC 66

68 Recursive FEC Summary Recursive FEC is useful in various deployments; BGP free core Inter-AS Seamless MPLS Carriers carrier (CsC) Two different encodings Global table VPN Stitched trees at control plane Flat trees at the forwarding plane 68

69 Multicast only Fast ReRoute (MoFRR)

70 MoFRR Introduction MoFRR is a Live-Live solution to provide redundancy Based on ECMP or LFA alternate paths, 2 trees are build towards the root of the MP LSP Documented at IETF via draft-karan-mofrr-02 Applies to PIM and mldp (initial idea came from PIM) A node dual connected to 2 trees may switch between the them very quickly based on different triggers; Link status IGP BFD Traffic flow 70

71 MoFRR Example Link Status B Root L18 A C L E D C has ECMP reachability to Root via B and E C joins the LSP via both B and E C forwards packets from B and blocks traffic from E (secondary) C receives two identical packets, but forwards only one 71

72 MoFRR Example Link Status B Root L18 A C L E D C detects upstream failure to B C blocks traffic from B C unblocks traffic from E Traffic flow has recovered without additional protocol signalling 72

73 MoFRR Link coming back up When a previously broken link comes back up, what do we do? Stick with the existing link or revert back to the previous? We stick with the existing link to not cause additional traffic loss Even though the router is receiving both streams, switching from one to the other may either cause duplicates or loss of packets Not necessarily due to the router, but can also be due to buffering/link delays between both paths 73

74 MoFRR Example Link Status Root L18 RP/0/0/CPU0:GSR3#sh mpls mldp database opaquetype static-id Tue Mar 6 23:12: UTC mldp database LSM-ID: 0x0000C Type: P2MP Uptime: 00:04:00 FEC Root B : Opaque decoded : [static-id 0] Features : MoFRR Upstream neighbor(s) : :0 A [Active] Uptime: 00:04:00 C L16 Next Hop : Interface : GigabitEthernet0/2/1/1 Local Label (D) : :0 [Inactive] Uptime: 00:00:20 D Next Hop E : Interface : GigabitEthernet0/2/1/0 Local Label (D) : Downstream client(s): LDP :0 Uptime: 00:04:00 Next Hop : Interface : GigabitEthernet0/2/1/2 Remote label (D) : There are two upstream neighbours for the same P2MP FEC :0 is the Active neighbour :0 is the Inactive (standby) neighbour 74

75 MoFRR Summary Join the same LSP via two different upstream paths The Repair Point router (initiating the MoFRR) can switch to the standby upstream path based on a fast trigger. Works best in dual plane topologies Otherwise path separation is possible with Multi Topology or static routing. 75

76 In-band signaling global table

77 In-band signaling global context PIM (S,G) tree is mapped to a mldp P2MP LSP. Root PE is learned via BGP Next-Hop of the Source address. PIM (S1,G) R-PE may use SSM Mapping if Receiver is not SSM PIM (S2,G) Source PIM (S1,G) aware.

78 In-band signaling global context PIM (*,G) tree is mapped to a mldp P2MP LSP. Root PE is learned via BGP Next-Hop of the Source address. PIM (*,G1) R-PE may use SSM Source Mapping PIM (*,G1) if Receiver is not SSM aware. S1,S2 P2MP LSP FEC {*,G1} P2MP LSP FEC {*,G2} Receiver Source S3 RP PIM (*,G2) Root-PE R-PE PIM (*,G1) Receiver RP Root-PE MPLS cloud R-PE PIM (*,G) tree is mapped to a mldp P2MP LSP. Root PE is learned via BGP Next-Hop of the RP address. All sources known by the RP are forwarded down the tree. 78

79 In-band signaling global context Very useful for IPTV deployments. Works with PIM SSM and (*,G) trees, no Sparse-mode. SSM Mapping may be deployed to convert to SSM. One-2-One mapping between PIM tree and mldp LSP. No flooding/wasting of bandwidth. Works well if the amount of state is bound.
