Advertising SRv6 SIDs for Layer 2 Bundle Member Links in IGP
draft-dong-lsr-l2bundle-srv6-01
Abstract
There are deployments where the Layer-3 interface on which IGP
operates is a Layer-2 interface bundle. Existing IGP advertisements
only support advertising link attributes of the Layer-3 interface.
If entities external to IGP wish to control traffic flows on the
individual physical links that comprise the Layer-2 interface bundle,
link attribute information about the bundle members is advertised by
IGP extensions for Layer-2 (L2) bundle.
When Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) is used with Layer-2 interface
bundle to control traffic flows on the individual member links, the
SRv6 SIDs which represent the Layer 2 member links of the L2 bundle
needs to be advertised in IGP.
This document proposes the IGP extensions to advertise the SRv6 SIDs
of the Layer 2 (L2) bundle member links.

1. Introduction
There are deployments where the Layer-3 interface on which an IGP
adjacency is established is a Layer-2 interface bundle, for instance,
a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) [IEEE802.1AX]. This reduces the
number of adjacencies that need to be maintained by the routing
protocol in cases where there are parallel links between the
neighbors. Entities external to IS-IS such as Path Computation
Elements (PCEs) [RFC4655] may wish to control traffic flows on
individual members of the underlying Layer-2 bundle. In order to do
so, link attribute information about individual bundle members is
required.
Dong & Hu Expires April 27, 2022 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft IGP L2 bundle for SRv6 October 2021
[RFC8668] and [I-D.ietf-lsr-ospf-l2bundles] specify the IGP
extensions to advertise link attribute information for each of the L2
Bundle members which comprise the Layer-3 interface, in which the
encoding and advertisement of SR-MPLS adjacency SIDs of each bundle
member link is defined. When SRv6 is used with Layer-2 interface
bundle, to control traffic flows on the individual member links, the
SRv6 SIDs which represent the Layer-2 member links of the L2 bundle
needs to be advertised.
This document proposes the IGP extensions to advertise the SRv6 SIDs
of the Layer-2 (L2) bundle member links.
2. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
BCP14 RFC 2119 [RFC2119] RFC 8174 [RFC8174] when, and only when, they
appear in all capitals, as shown here.
3. SRv6 Function for L2 Bundle Member Links
As defined in [RFC8986], the SRv6 End.X behavior means "Endpoint with
cross-connect to an array of layer-3 adjacencies". An SRv6 SID
associated with a Layer 2 bundle member link of an L3 adjacency is
considered a variant of the End.X behavior. In order to distinguish
it from the SIDs associated with a L3 adjacency, it is considered
that a different type of SRv6 function needs to be used.
[I-D.dong-spring-srv6-inter-layer-programming] defines a new End.XU
function which means "Endpoint with cross-connect to an underlay
interface", this function can be used for the L2 bundle member links.
4. Advertising SRv6 SIDs for L2 Bundle Members
4.1. SRv6 SIDs Encodings for IS-IS L2 Bundle
This section defines the IS-IS sub-TLVs to advertise SRv6 SIDs for L2
Bundle Members. Following the encoding mechanism used in [RFC8668]
for the advertisement of SR-MPLS adj-SIDs for L2 Bundle Members, this
allows the advertisement of a set of SRv6 SIDs (one per L2 Bundle
Member) in a single sub-TLV.
4.1.1. L2 Bundle Member SRv6 End.XU SID Sub-TLV
[I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions] defines the SRv6 End.X SID sub-
TLV to advertise an SRv6 SID associated with a point to point
adjacency. This document defines a new sub-TLV of called "L2 Bundle
Dong & Hu Expires April 27, 2022 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft IGP L2 bundle for SRv6 October 2021
Member SRv6 End.XU SIDs" to advertise the SRv6 End.XU SIDs for the L2
Bundle Members. This sub-TLV is allowed to be carried in TLV 25 "L2
Bundle Member Attributes" only. The format of the sub-TLV is as
below:
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

SRv6 End.X SID sub-TLV as defined in
[I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions].
o Algorithm: 1 octet. The algorithm values are defined in the IGP
Algorithm Type registry.
o Weight: 1 octet. The value represents the weight of the SID for
the purpose of load balancing.
o Endpoint Behavior: 2 octets. It SHOULD be set to the Endpoint
functions as defined in
[I-D.dong-spring-srv6-inter-layer-programming].
o SIDs. One or multiple 16-octet SRv6 SIDs. The number of the SIDs
is determined by the "Number of L2 Bundle Member Descriptors"
field as defined in [RFC8668].

TLVs.
4.1.2. L2 Bundle Member SRv6 LAN End.XU SID Sub-TLV
[I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions] defines the SRv6 LAN End.X SID
sub-TLV to advertise an SRv6 SID associated with a LAN adjacency.
This document defines a new sub-TLV called "L2 Bundle Member SRv6 LAN
End.XU SIDs" to advertise the SRv6 LAN End.XU SIDs for the L2 Bundle
Members. The format of the sub-TLV is as below:
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

for the purpose of load balancing.

functions as defined in
[I-D.dong-spring-srv6-inter-layer-programming].

is determined by the "Number of L2 Bundle Member Descriptors"
field as defined in [RFC8668].

TLVs.
4.2. SRv6 SIDs Encodings for OSPF L2 Bundle
This section defines the mechanism to advertise SRv6 SIDs for L2
Bundle Members. In [I-D.ietf-lsr-ospf-l2bundles], the SR-MPLS
Adjacency SID sub-TLVs for the L3 adjacency is reused for the
advertisement of Adjacency SIDs of L2 Bundle Members. For SRv6 data
plane , the SRv6 End.X SID sub-TLV and SRv6 LAN End.X SID Sub-TLV as
defined in [I-D.ietf-lsr-ospfv3-srv6-extensions] are reused for the
advertisement of SRv6 End.XU SIDs of L2 Bundle Members, the Endpoint
Behavior in the sub-TLV SHOULD be set to the Endpoint functions as
defined in [I-D.dong-spring-srv6-inter-layer-programming].
5. IANA Considerations
IANA is requested to assign two new code points from the IS-IS "Sub-
TLVs for TLVs 22, 23, 25, 141, 222, and 223" registry.
+------+--------------------------+----+----+----+-----+-----+-----+
| Type | Description | 22 | 23 | 25 | 141 | 222 | 223 |
+======+==========================+====+====+====+=====+=====+=====+
| TBD | L2 Bundle Member SRv6 | n | n | y | n | n | n |
| | End.XU SID | | | | | | |
+------+--------------------------+----+----+----+-----+-----+-----+
| TBD | L2 Bundle Member SRv6 | n | n | y | n | n | n |
| | LAN End.XU SID | | | | | | |
+------+--------------------------+----+----+----+-----+-----+-----+
6. Security Considerations
The security considerations in [RFC8668] and
[I-D.ietf-lsr-ospf-l2bundles] apply. This document introduces no
additional security vulnerabilities to IS-IS and OSPF.
