1.  Introduction

   MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) Pseudowire (PW) is defined in
   [RFC3985] and [RFC5659], which provides emulated services over an
   MPLS Packet Switched Network (PSN).  MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP)

   describes a profile of MPLS that enables operational models typical
   in transport networks, while providing additional Operations,
   Administration and Maintenance (OAM), survivability and other
   maintenance functions not previously supported by IP/MPLS.  The
   corresponding requirements are defined in [RFC5860].

   The MPLS-TP OAM mechanisms are described in [RFC6371], which can be
   categorized into proactive and on-demand OAM.  Proactive OAM refers
   to OAM operations that are either configured to be carried out
   periodically and continuously or preconfigured to act on certain
   events such as alarm signals.  In contrast, on-demand OAM is
   initiated manually and for a limited amount of time, usually for
   operations such as diagnostics to investigate into a defect
   condition.

   Normally, the Network Management System (NMS) is used to configure
   these OAM functionalities when a control plane is not instantiated.
   If the control plane is used, it MUST support the configuration and
   modification of OAM maintenance points as well as the activation/
   deactivation of OAM when the transport path or transport service is
   established or modified (Requirement 51)[RFC5654].

   This document defines extensions to the LDP protocol to negotiate PW
   OAM capabilities, configure and bootstrap proactive PW OAM functions,
   which are suitable for Point to Point (P2P) SS-PW and MS-PW.  The
   extensions to Point to Multi-Point (P2MP) PW will be studied in the
   future.

3.  MPLS-TP PW OAM Configuration Overview

   When OAM functions are required for PWs, before starting to configure
   and enable the OAM functions, the PEs SHOULD negotiate the OAM
   capability when the PWs are first set up, hence to know what OAM
   functions the PEs can support.  To achieve this, a new LDP TLV, 
   MPLS-TP PW OAM Capability TLV is defined (Section 4.1), it is included 
   in the LDP Initialization message and used to carry the MPLS-TP PW OAM
   capabilities that a PE support.  So, if a PE does not receive any
   MPLS-TP PW OAM Capability TLV from the remote PE, it SHOULD NOT send 
   the MPLS-TP PW OAM configuration information to the PE and try to 
   configure and enable related OAM functions.

   Section 3.1 describes the general OAM configuration procedures.  For
   SS-PW and MS-PW, the OAM configuration procedures are mostly
   identical.  One exception is that SS-PW does not need to configure
   the MIP function.  Section 3.2 highlights the differences between the
   two.

3.1.  OAM Configuration for MS-PW

3.1.1.  Establishment of OAM Entities and Functions

   Assuming there is one PW that needs to be setup between T-PE1 and
   T-PE2, across S-PE1 and S-PE2.  OAM functions must be setup and
   enabled in the appropriate order so that spurious alarms can be
   avoided.

   Fist of all, T-PE1 MUST setup the OAM sink function to be prepared to
   receive OAM messages but MUST suppress any OAM alarms (e.g., due to
   missing or unidentified OAM messages).  The Mapping message MUST be
   sent with the "OAM Alarms Enabled" cleared and "OAM MIP Entities
   desired" set in the MPLS-TP PW OAM Administration TLV.

   When the Mapping message arrives at the downstream S-PEs, such as
   S-PE1 and S-PE2, they MUST establish and configure MIP entities
   according to the set "I"flag in the MPLS-TP PW OAM Administration
   TLV.  If failure, a Notification message SHOULD be sent, with a
   Status Code set to "MIP Configuration Failure".  If OAM entities are
   established successfully, the middle points (S-PE1 and S-PE2) MUST
   forward the Mapping message downstream, the endpoint (T-PE2) MUST set
   the OAM Source function and MUST be prepared to Send OAM messages.

   The same rules are applied to the reverse direction (from T-PE2 to
   T-PE1), that is to say, T-PE2 needs to setup the OAM sink function to
   be prepared to receive OAM messages but MUST suppress any OAM alarms
   (e.g., due to missing or unidentified OAM messages).  The Mapping
   message MUST be sent with the "OAM Alarms Enabled" cleared, "OAM MIP
   Entities desired" set in the MPLS-TP PW OAM Administration TLV.  When
   T-PE1 receives the Mapping message, it completes any pending OAM
   configuration and enables the OAM source function to send OAM
   messages.

   After this, OAM entities are established and configured for the PW
   and OAM messages MAY already be exchanged, and OAM alarms can now be
   enabled.  The T-PE nodes (T-PE1 and T-PE2), while still keeping OAM
   alarms disabled send a Notification message with "OAM Alarms Enabled"
   PW status flag set, and enable the OAM alarms after processing the
   Notification message.  At this point, data-plane OAM is fully
   functional, and the MPLS-TP OAM PW configuration TLV MAY be omitted
   in subsequent Notification messages

   The PW MAY be setup with OAM entities right away with the first
   signalling, as described above, but a PW MAY be signalled and
   established without OAM configuration first, and OAM entities may be
   added later.  This can be done by sending a Notification message with
   the related configuration parameters subsequently.

3.1.2.  Adjustment of OAM Parameters

   There may be a need to change the parameters of an already
   established and configured OAM function during the lifetime of the
   PW.  To do so the T-PE nodes need to send a Notification message with
   the updated parameters.  OAM parameters that influence the content
   and timing of OAM messages and identify the way OAM defects and
   alarms are derived and generated.  Hence, to avoid spurious alarms,



Zhang, et al.           Expires December 29, 2014               [Page 6]

Internet-Draft        LDP Extensions for TP PW OAM             June 2014


   it is important that both sides, OAM sink and source, are updated in
   a synchronized way.  Firstly, the alarms of the OAM sink function
   should be suppressed and only then should expected OAM parameters be
   adjusted.  Subsequently, the parameters of the OAM source function
   can be updated.  Finally, the alarms of the OAM sink side can be
   enabled again.

   In accordance with the above operation, T-PE1 MUST send a
   Notification message with "OAM Alarms Enabled" cleared and including
   the updated MPLS-TP PW OAM Configuration TLV corresponding to the new
   parameter settings.  The initiator (T-PE1) MUST keep its OAM sink and
   source functions running unmodified, but it MUST suppress OAM alarms
   after the updated Notification message is sent.  The receiver (T-PE2)
   MUST firstly disable all OAM alarms, then update the OAM parameters
   according to the information in the Notification message and reply
   with a Notification message acknowledging the changes by including
   the MPLS-TP PW OAM Configuration TLV.  Note that the receiving side
   has the possibility to adjust the requested OAM configuration
   parameters and reply with and updated MPLS-TP PW OAM Configuration
   TLV in the Notification message, reflecting the actually configured
   values.  However, in order to avoid an extensive negotiation phase,
   in the case of adjusting already configured OAM functions, the
   receiving side SHOULD NOT update the parameters requested in the
   Notification message to an extent that would provide lower
   performance than what has been configured previously.

   The initiator (T-PE1) MUST only update its OAM sink and source
   functions when it has received the Notification message from the
   peer.  After the OAM parameters are updated and OAM is running
   according the new parameter settings, OAM alarms are still disabled,
   so a subsequent Notification messages exchanges with "OAM Alarms
   Enabled" flag set are needed to enable OAM alarms again.

3.1.3.  Deleting OAM Entities

   In some cases it may be useful to remove some or all OAM entities and
   functions from one PW without actually tearing down the connection.
   To avoid any spurious alarm, the following procedure should be
   followed:

   The T-PE nodes disable OAM alarms and SHOULD send Notification
   message to each other with "OAM Alarms Enabled" cleared but unchanged
   OAM configuration and without the MPLS-TP PW OAM Configuration TLV.
   After that, T-PE1 (T-PE2) SHOULD delete OAM source functions, then
   send a Notification message with "OAM MIP Entities desired" cleared.
   While T-PE2 (T-PE1) deletes OAM sink function, S-PE1 and S-PE2 delete
   MIP configuration when they receive the Notification message with
   "OAM MIP Entities desired" cleared.

Internet-Draft        LDP Extensions for TP PW OAM             June 2014


   Alternatively, if only some OAM functions need to be removed, the
   T-PE node sends the Notification message with the updated OAM
   Configuration TLV.  Changes between the contents of the previously
   signalled OAM Configuration TLV and the currently received TLV
   represent which functions SHOULD be removed/added.

3.2.  OAM Configuration for SS-PW

   Assuming there is one PW that needs to be setup between T-PE1 and
   T-PE2.

   If the receiving PE (T-PE2) have initiated the MPLS-TP PW OAM
   configuration request to the other PE (T-PE1), it MUST compare its
   AII against T-PE1's.  If it is numerically lower, will reply a
   Notification message with the updated "MPLS-TP PW OAM Configuration
   TLV", and the Status Code set to "Wrong MPLS-TP PW OAM Configuration
   TLV".

   On the other hand, if the T-PE2's AII is numerically higher than
   T-PE1's, it MUST reply a Notification message with Status Code set to
   "Rejected MPLS-TP PW OAM Configuration TLV".

4.  LDP Extensions

   Below, LDP extensions to configure proactive MPLS-TP PW OAM functions
   are defined.

4.1.  MPLS-TP PW OAM Capability TLV

   A new Capability Parameter TLV called the MPLS-TP PW OAM Capability
   TLV is defined, and the format 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
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
    |1|0|              Type (TBD)   |     Length (= 4)              |
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
    |S| Reserved    |               Capability Data       |F|D|L|V|C|
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

                       MPLS-TP PW OAM Capability TLV

   The value of the U-bit for the MPLS-TP PW OAM Capability TLV MUST be
   set to 1 so that a receiver MUST silently ignore this TLV if unknown
   to it, and continue processing the rest of the message[RFC5036].
   Currently defined specific OAM Capability Flags in the "Capability
   Data" field from right to left are:

Internet-Draft        LDP Extensions for TP PW OAM             June 2014


   One bit "C" (31, IANA to assign)             CC mode supported
   One bit "V" (30, IANA to assign)             CV mode supported
   One bit "L" (29, IANA to assign)             PM Loss supported
   One bit "D" (28, IANA to assign)             PM Delay supported
   One bit "F" (27, IANA to assign)             FMS supported
   Bits 8-26: This field MUST be set to zero
   on transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt.


   The above bits can be set individually to indicate more than one kind
   of OAM capabilities at once, and the other reserved bits MUST be set
   to zero on transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt.  Moreover, if
   CV flag is set, the CC flag MUST be set at the same time.

   The MPLS-TP PW OAM Capability TLV MAY be included by a PE in an
   Initialization message to signal its peer that it supports the MPLS-
   TP PW OAM Capability.  If the remote peer does not support the MPLS-
   TP PW OAM Capability TLV or the Initialization message sent by the
   remote peer does not include the MPLS-TP PW OAM Capability TLV, the
   resulting negotiation does not support MPLS-TP PW OAM capability.  If
   instead the negotiation supports the MPLS-TP PW OAM capability, then
   the subsequent LDP Mapping message will carry the information of the
   MPLS-TP PW OAM configuration.

4.1.1.  Backward Compatibility

   If both the two T-PEs can recognize the MPLS-TP PW OAM Capability
   TLV,and CC or CV mode is supported, the BFD configuration procedure
   described in this document is adopted.  Otherwise, if at least one of
   the two T-PEs do not support the CC or CV mode, the old VCCV BFD
   [RFC5885] will be performed.  In this situation, the procedure
   described in [RFC5885] MUST be followed: the C and V flags of MPLS-TP
   PW OAM Configuration TLV MUST NOT be set and the BFD Configuration
   sub-TLV MUST NOT be carried as a sub-TLV of MPLS-TP PW OAM
   Configuration TLV also.

   The described behavior ensures full compatibility with the existing
   implementations.

4.2.  MPLS-TP PW OAM Administration TLV

   The format of the MPLS-TP PW OAM Administration TLV is as follows:

                   Negotiation Timer Parameters sub-TLV

   Type: indicates a new type, the "Negotiation Timer Parameters sub-
   TLV" (IANA to define, suggested value 2).

   Length: indicates the TLV total length in octets (16).

   Acceptable Min. Asynchronous TX interval: in case of S (symmetric)
   flag set in the "BFD Configuration" TLV, it expresses the desired
   time interval (in microseconds) at which the T-PE initiating the
   signalling intends to both transmit and receive BFD periodic control
   packets.  If the receiving T-PE can not support such value, it is
   allowed to reply back with an interval greater than the one proposed.

   In case of S (symmetric) flag cleared in the "BFD Configuration sub-
   TLV", this field expresses the desired time interval (in
   microseconds) at which T-PE intends to transmit BFD periodic control
   packets in its transmitting direction.

   Acceptable Min. Asynchronous RX interval: in case of S (symmetric)
   flag set in the "BFD Configuration sub-TLV", this field MUST be equal
   to "Acceptable Min. Asynchronous TX interval" and has no additional
   meaning respect to the one described for "Acceptable Min.Asynchronous
   TX interval".

   In case of S (symmetric) flag cleared in the "BFD Configuration sub-
   TLV", it expresses the minimum time interval (in microseconds) at
   which T-PE can receive BFD periodic control packets.  In case this
   value is greater than the "Acceptable Min. Asynchronous TX interval"
   received from the other T-PE, such T-PE MUST adopt the interval
   expressed in this "Acceptable Min. Asynchronous RX interval".

   Required Echo TX Interval: the minimum interval (in microseconds)
   between received BFD Echo packets that this system is capable of
   supporting, less any jitter applied by the sender as described in
   [RFC5880] sect. 6.8.9.  This value is also an indication for the

   receiving system of the minimum interval between transmitted BFD Echo
   packets.  If this value is zero, the transmitting system does not
   support the receipt of BFD Echo packets.  If the receiving system can
   not support this value a Notification MUST be generated with Status
   Code set to "Unsupported BFD TX Echo rate interval".  By default the
   value is set to 0.

   If the "MPLS-TP PW OAM Configuration TLV" has either the L (Loss), D
   (Delay) flag set, the "Performance Monitoring sub-TLV" MUST be
   present.

   In case the values need to be different than the default ones the
   "MPLS-TP PW PM Loss sub-TLV, "MPLS-TP PW PM Delay sub-TLV" MAY be

                        MPLS-TP PW PM Delay sub-TLV

   Type: indicates a new type, the "MPLS-TP PW PM Delay sub-TLV" (IANA
   to define, suggested value 2).

   Length: indicates the length of the parameters in octets.

   OTF: Origin Timestamp Format of the Origin Timestamp field described
   in [RFC6374].  By default it is set to IEEE 1588 version 1.

   Configuration Flags, please refer to [RFC6374] for further details:

   o  T: Traffic-class-specific measurement indicator.  Set to 1 when
      the measurement operation is scoped to packets of a particular
      traffic class (DSCP value), and 0 otherwise.  When set to 1, the
      DS field of the message indicates the measured traffic class.  By
      default it is set to 1.

   o  B: Octet (byte) count.  When set to 1, indicates that the Counter
      1-4 fields represent octet counts.  When set to 0, indicates that
      the Counter 1-4 fields represent packet counts.  By default it is
      set to 0.

   Measurement Interval: the time interval (in microseconds) at which LM
   query messages MUST be sent on both directions.  If the T-PE
   receiving the Mapping message can not support such value, it can
   reply back with a higher interval.  By default it is set to (TBD).

   define, suggested value 4).

   Length: indicates the length of the parameters in octets (8).

   Signal Flags: are used to enable the following signals:

   o  A: Alarm Indication Signal (AIS) as described in [RFC6427]

   o  D: Link Down Indication (LDI) as described in [RFC6427]

   o  L: Locked Report (LKR) as described in [RFC6427]

   o  Remaining bits: Reserved for future specification and set to 0.

   Configuration Flags:

   o  E: used to enable/disable explicitly clearing faults

   o  PHB: identifies the per-hop behavior of packets with fault
      management information

   Refresh Timer: indicates the refresh timer (in microseconds) of fault
   indication messages.  If the T-PE receiving the Path message can not
   support such value, it can reply back with a higher interval.

5.  IANA Considerations

5.1.  TLV

   IANA is requested to assign three new TLV types from the registry
   "TLV Type Name Space" in the "Label Distribution Protocol (LDP)
   Parameters" registry.

      Value     TLV                                       References

       TBD3     MPLS-TP PW OAM Configuration TLV          this document

5.1.1.  MPLS-TP PW OAM Configuration Sub-TLV

   IANA is requested to create a registry of "MPLS-TP Pseudowire OAM
   Configuration Sub-TLV types".  These are 16 bit values.  Sub-TLV
   types 1 through 8 are specified in this document.  Sub-TLV types 0
   and 65535 are reserved.  Sub-TLV 9 through 65534 are to be assigned
   by IANA, using the "Expert Review" policy defined in RFC2434.

5.2.  OAM Configuration Error Code

   IANA is requested to assign the following LDP status codes from the
   registry "STATUS CODE NAME SPACE" in the "Label Distribution Protocol
   (LDP) Parameters" registry.

   Range/Value   E    Description
         TBD4    0    "MIP Configuration Failure"
         TBD5    0    "Rejected MPLS-TP PW OAM Configuration TLV"
         TBD6    0    "Wrong MPLS-TP PW OAM Configuration TLV"
         TBD7    0    "Unsupported OAM Version"
         TBD8    0    "Unsupported BFD TX Echo rate interval"

6.  Security Considerations

   Security considerations relating to LDP are described in section 5 of
   [RFC5036] and section 11 of [RFC5561].  Security considerations
   relating to use of LDP in setting up PWs is described in section 8 of
   [RFC4447].

   This document defines new TLV/sub-TLV types, and OAM configuration
   procedures intended for use with MPLS-TP, which do not raise any
   additional security issues.
