draft-ietf-idr-bgpls-inter-as-topology-ext-13
Abstract
This document describes the process to build Border Gateway Protocol-
Link State (BGP-LS) key parameters in inter-domain scenario, defines
one new BGP-LS Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) type
(Stub Link NLRI) and some new Type-Length-Values (TLVs) for BGP-LS to
let Software Definition Network (SDN) controller retrieve the network
topology automatically under various inter-AS environments.
Such extension and process can enable the network operator to collect
the interconnect information between different domains and then
calculate the overall network topology automatically based on the
information provided by BGP-LS protocol.

Internet-Draft BGP-LS-Inter-AS-Ext April 2023
1. Introduction
BGP-LS [RFC7752] describes the methodology that using BGP protocol to
transfer the Link-State information. Such method can enable SDN
controller to collect the underlay network topology automatically,
but normally it can only get the information within one Interior
Gateway Protocol (IGP) domain. If the operator has more than one IGP
domain, and these domains interconnect with each other, there is no
mechanic within current BGP- LS to transfer the interconnect topology
information.
Draft [I-D.ietf-idr-bgpls-segment-routing-epe] defines some
extensions for exporting BGP peering node topology information
(including its peers, interfaces and peering ASs) in a way that is
exploitable in order to compute efficient BGP Peering Engineering
policies and strategies. Such information can also be used to
calculate the interconnection topology among different IGP domains,
but it requires every border router to run BGP-LS protocol and report
the information to SDN controller. Considering there will be plenty
of border routers on the network boundary, such solution restricts
its deployment flexibility.
This draft analysis the situations that the SDN controller needs to
get the interconnected topology information between different AS
domains, defines the new Stub Link NLRI and some new TLVs within the
BGP-LS protocol to transfer the key information related to them.
After that, the SDN controller can then deduce the multi-domain
topology automatically based on the information from BGP-LS protocol.

4. Inter-AS Domain Scenarios.
Figure 1 illustrates the multi-domain scenarios that this draft
discusses. Normally, SDN Controller can get the topology of IGP A
and IGP B individually via the BGP-LS protocol, but it can't get the
topology connection information between these two IGP domains because
there is generally no IGP protocol run on the connected links.

5. Stub Link NLRI
[RFC7752] defines four NLRI types(Node NLRI, Link NLRI, IPv4 Topology
Prefix NLRI, IPv6 Topology Prefix NLRI) to transfer the topology and
prefix information. For inter-as link, the two ends of the link
locates in different IGP domains, then it is not appropriate to
transfer their information within the current defined NLRI types.
This draft defines one new NLRI type, called Stub Link NLRI, which is
coded as the following format:
Wang, et al. Expires 6 October 2023 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS-Inter-AS-Ext April 2023
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

| Protocol-ID |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Identifier |
| (64 bits) |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
// Local Node Descriptors (variable) //
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
// Stub Link Descriptors (variable) //
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 2: Stub Link NLRI Format
The "Protocol-ID" should be set to the value that indicates "Direct"
protocol.
The semantics of "Local Node Descriptors" and "Stub Link Descriptors"
are same as that defined in [RFC7752] for "Node Descriptors" and
"Link Descriptor".
This newly defined NLRI can be used to describe the link that has
only one end located within the IGP domain, as described in the
following sections.
5.1. Inter-AS Native IP Scenario
Draft [RFC8735] describes the situation that operator needs some
traffic engineering solution for the inter-as native IP environment.
In such situation, different domain may run different IGP protocol.
The operator needs to know the inter-as topology first to calculate
the end to end optimal path centrally.
When IGP A or IGP B in Figure 1 runs native IS-IS/OSPF protocol, the
operator can use passive feature for the inter-domain links to let
the routers within the IGP domain know these links. Such stub links
information can then be carried within the Stub Link NLRI reported
via the BGP-LS protocol to the SDN controller.
Draft [I-D.wang-lsr-stub-link-attributes] describes the method to
identify the stub link within the network for OSPFv2/v3 and IS-IS.
The router that runs BGP-LS can extract these stub links from other
interfaces that participate in the IGP protocol and report them via
the newly defined "Stub Link NLRI".
The "Local Node Descriptors" should describe the characteristics of
ASBRs that are connected these stub links.
Wang, et al. Expires 6 October 2023 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS-Inter-AS-Ext April 2023
When such information is reported via the BGP-LS protocol, the SDN
controller can construct the underlay inter-domain topology according
to procedure described in Section 8
5.2. Inter-AS TE Scenario
When IGP A or IGP B in Figure 1 runs IS-IS TE/OSPF-TE
protocol,[RFC5316] and [RFC5392] define IS-IS and OSPF extensions
respectively to deal with the situation for inter-AS traffic
engineering. Three new sub-TLVs(Remote AS Number、IPv4 Remote ASBR
ID、IPv6 Remote ASBR ID) which are associated with the inter-AS TE
link are defined.
These TLVs are flooded within the IGP domain automatically. They
should be carried within the newly defined Stub Link NLRI within the
BGP-LS protocol, as the descriptors for the inter-AS stub link.
The "Local Node Descriptors" should describe the the characteristics
of ASBRs that are connected these inter-AS TE links.
If the SDN controller knows these information via one of the interior
router that runs BGP-LS protocol, the SDN controller can rebuild the
inter-AS TE topology correctly according to the procedure described
in Section 8
6. Inter-AS Native IP Scenario related TLVs
This section proposes to add two new TLVs that is included within the
Stub Link NLRI to transfer the information via BGP-LS, which are
required to build the inter-AS Native IP related topology by the SDN
controller.
The following Link Descriptor TLVs are added into the BGP-LS protocol
:
+-----------+---------------------+--------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Detail encoding of these TLVs are synchronized with the corresponding
parts in [I-D.wang-lsr-stub-link-attributes], which keeps the BGP-LS
protocol agnostic to the underly protocol.

7.1. Remote AS Number TLV
A new TLV, the remote AS number TLV, is defined for inclusion in the
link descriptor when advertising inter-AS TE links. The remote AS
number TLV specifies the AS number of the neighboring AS to which the
advertised link connects.
The remote AS number TLV is TLV type TBD (see Section 10 ) and is 4
octets in length. The format is as follows:
0 1 2 3

The Remote AS number field has 4 octets. When only 2 octets are used
for the AS number, as in current deployments, the left (high-order) 2
octets MUST be set to 0. The remote AS number TLV MUST be included
when a router advertises an inter-AS TE link.
7.2. IPv4 Remote ASBR ID
A new TLV, which is referred to as the IPv4 remote ASBR ID TLV, is
defined for inclusion in the link descriptor when advertising inter-
AS TE links. The IPv4 remote ASBR ID TLV specifies the IPv4
identifier of the remote ASBR to which the advertised inter-AS link
connects. This could be any stable and routable IPv4 address of the
remote ASBR. Use of the TE Router ID as specified in the Traffic
Engineering router ID TLV [RFC5316] is RECOMMENDED.
The IPv4 remote ASBR ID TLV is TLV type TBD (see Section 10) and is 4
octets in length. The format of the IPv4 remote ASBR ID TLV is as
follows:
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

The IPv4 remote ASBR ID TLV MUST be included if the neighboring ASBR
has an IPv4 address. If the neighboring ASBR does not have an IPv4
address (not even an IPv4 TE Router ID), the IPv6 remote ASBR ID TLV
MUST be included instead. An IPv4 remote ASBR ID TLV and IPv6 remote
ASBR ID TLV MAY both be present in an inter-AS TE link NLRI.
7.3. IPv6 Remote ASBR ID
A new TLV, which is referred to as the IPv6 remote ASBR ID TLV, is
defined for inclusion in the link descriptor when advertising inter-
AS links. The IPv6 remote ASBR ID TLV specifies the IPv6 identifier
of the remote ASBR to which the advertised inter-AS link connects.
This could be any stable and routable IPv6 address of the remote
ASBR. Use of the TE Router ID as specified in the IPv6 Traffic
Engineering router ID TLV [RFC5316] is RECOMMENDED.
The IPv6 remote ASBR ID TLV is TLV type TBD (see Section 10) and is
16 octets in length. The format of the IPv6 remote ASBR ID TLV is as

address, the IPv4 remote ASBR ID TLV MUST be included instead. An
IPv4 remote ASBR ID TLV and IPv6 remote ASBR ID TLV MAY both be
present in an inter-AS TE link NLRI.
8. Topology Reconstruction.
When SDN controller gets such information from BGP-LS protocol, it
should compares the proximity of these stub links. If they are under
the same network scope and in different AS, then it should find the
corresponding associated router information, build the link between
these two border routers.
If the prefixes reported via the "Stub Link" NLRI are under the same
network scope, and in the same AS, the SDN controller can then
determine there is some IGP adjacency irregular. The usage of such
information is out of scope of this draft.
After iterating the above procedures for all of the stub links, the
SDN controller can then retrieve the connection topology between
different domains automatically.
9. Security Considerations
It is common for one operator to occupy several IGP domains that are
composited by its backbone network and several MAN(Metrio-Area-
Network)s/Internet Data Centers (IDCs). When they do traffic
engineering which spans MAN, Backbone and IDC, they need to know the
inter-as topology via the process described in this draft. Using the
passive interface features or configuring the Traffic Engineering
(TE) parameters on the interconnect links will not spread the
topology fluctuation across each other domain.
