Introduction Multi-Topology Routing (MTR) is a technology that enables service differentiation within an IP network. IGPs (e.g., OSPF and IS-IS) and LDP have already been extended to support MTR. To support MTR, an IGP maintains distinct IP topologies referred to as "Multi- Topologies" (or "MTs"), and computes and installs routes specific to each topology. OSPF extensions (see [RFC4915]) and IS-IS extensions (see [RFC5120]) specify the MT extensions under respective IGPs. To support IGP MT, similar LDP extensions (see [RFC7307]) have been specified to make LDP be MT aware and to be able to set up unicast Label Switched Paths (LSPs) along IGP MT routing paths. A more lightweight mechanism to define constraint-based topologies is the Flexible Algorithm (FA) (see [RFC9350]). The FA is another mechanism for creating a sub-topology within a topology using defined topology constraints and computation algorithms. This can be done within an MTR topology or the default topology. An instance of such a sub-topology is identified by a 1-octet value (Flexible Algorithm) as documented in [RFC9350]. At the time of writing, an FA is a mechanism to create a sub-topology; in the future, different algorithms might be defined for this purpose. Therefore, in the remainder of this document, we'll refer to this as the "IGP Algorithm" or "IPA". The "IPA" field (see Sections 3.1.2 and 5.1) is an 8-bit identifier for the algorithm. The permissible values are tracked in the "IGP Algorithm Types" registry [IANA-IGP]. Throughout this document, the term "Flexible Algorithm" (or "FA") shall denote the process of generating a sub-topology and signaling it through the IGP. However, it is essential to note that the procedures outlined in this document are not exclusively applicable to the FA: they are extendable to any non-default algorithm as well. "Multipoint LDP" (or "mLDP") refers to extensions in LDP to set up multipoint LSPs (i.e., point-to-multipoint (P2MP) or multipoint-to- multipoint (MP2MP) LSPs) by means of a set of extensions and procedures defined in [RFC6388]. In order to deploy mLDP in a network that supports MTR and the FA, mLDP is required to become topology and algorithm aware. This document specifies extensions to mLDP to support the use of MTR/IPAs such that, when building multipoint LSPs, it can follow a particular topology and algorithm. Therefore, the identifier for the particular topology to be used by mLDP has to become a 2-tuple {MTR Topology Id, IPA}. 2. Terminology 2.1. Abbreviations FA: Flexible Algorithm FEC: Forwarding Equivalence Class IGP: Interior Gateway Protocol IPA: IGP Algorithm LDP: Label Distribution Protocol LSP: Label Switched Path mLDP: Multipoint LDP MP: Multipoint MP2MP: Multipoint-to-Multipoint MT: Multi-Topology MT-ID: Multi-Topology Identifier MTR: Multi-Topology Routing MVPN: Multicast VPN in Section 2.3 of [RFC6513] P2MP: Point-to-Multipoint PMSI: Provider Multicast Service Interfaces [RFC6513] 2.2. Specification of Requirements 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 BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here. 3. MT-Scoped mLDP FECs As defined in [RFC7307], an MPLS Multi-Topology Identifier (MT-ID) is used to associate an LSP with a certain MTR topology. In the context of MP LSPs, this identifier is part of the mLDP FEC encoding; this is so that LDP peers are able to set up an MP LSP via their own defined MTR policy. In order to avoid conflicting MTR policies for the same mLDP FEC, the MT-ID needs to be a part of the FEC. This ensures that different MT-ID values will result in unique MP-LSP FEC elements. The same applies to the IPA. The IPA needs to be encoded as part of the mLDP FEC to create unique MP LSPs. The IPA is also used to signal to the mLDP (hop-by-hop) which algorithm needs to be used to create the MP LSP. Since the MT-ID and IPA are part of the FEC, they apply to all the LDP messages that potentially include an mLDP FEC element. 3.1. MP FEC Extensions for MT The following subsections define the extensions to bind an mLDP FEC to a topology. These mLDP MT extensions reuse some of the extensions specified in [RFC7307]. 3.1.1. MP FEC Element The base mLDP specification ([RFC6388]) defines the MP FEC element 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | MP FEC type | Address Family | AF Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Root Node Address | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Opaque Length | Opaque Value | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + ~ ~ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Figure 1: MP FEC Element Format Where the "Root Node Address" field encoding is defined according to the given "Address Family" field with its length (in octets) specified by the "AF Length" field. To extend MP FEC elements for MT, the {MT-ID, IPA} tuple is relevant in the context of the root address of the MP LSP. This tuple determines the (sub-)topology in which the root address needs to be resolved. As the {MT-ID, IPA} tuple should be considered part of the mLDP FEC, it is most naturally encoded as part of the root address. 3.1.2. MT IP Address Families [RFC7307] specifies new address families, named "MT IP" and "MT IPv6," to allow for the specification of an IP prefix within a topology scope. In addition to using these address families for mLDP, 8 bits of the 16-bit "Reserved" field that was described in RFC 7307 are utilized to encode the IPA. The resulting format of the data associated with these new address families 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | IPv4 Address | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Reserved | IPA | MT-ID | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | IPv6 Address | | | | | | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Reserved | IPA | MT-ID | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Figure 2: Modified Format for MT IP Address Families Where: IPv4 Address and IPv6 Address: An IP address corresponding to the "MT IP" and "MT IPv6" address families, respectively. IPA: The IGP Algorithm. Reserved: This 8-bit field MUST be zero on transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt. 3.1.3. MT MP FEC Element When using the extended "MT IP" address family, the resulting MT- Scoped MP FEC element should be encoded 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | MP FEC type | AF (MT IP/ MT IPv6) | AF Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Root Node Address | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Reserved | IPA | MT-ID | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Opaque Length | Opaque Value | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + ~ ~ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Figure 3: Format for an IP MT-Scoped MP FEC Element In the context of this document, the applicable LDP FECs for MT mLDP ([RFC6388]) include: * MP FEC elements: - P2MP (type 0x6) - MP2MP-up (type 0x7) - MP2MP-down (type 0x8) * Typed Wildcard FEC Element (type 0x5 defined in [RFC5918]) In the case of the Typed Wildcard FEC Element, the FEC element type MUST be one of the MP FECs listed above. This specification allows the use of topology-scoped mLDP FECs in LDP labels and notification messages, as applicable. [RFC6514] defines the PMSI tunnel attribute for MVPN and specifies that: * when the Tunnel Type is set to mLDP P2MP LSP, the Tunnel Identifier is a P2MP FEC element, and * when the Tunnel Type is set to mLDP MP2MP LSP, the Tunnel Identifier is an MP2MP FEC element. When the extension defined in this specification is in use, the IP MT-Scoped MP FEC element form of the respective FEC elements MUST be used in these two cases. 3.2. Topology IDs This document assumes the same definitions and procedures associated with MPLS MT-ID as specified in [RFC7307]. 4. MT Multipoint Capability The "MT Multipoint" capability is a new LDP capability, defined in accordance with the LDP capability definition guidelines outlined in [RFC5561]. An mLDP speaker advertises this capability to its peers to announce its support for MTR and the procedures specified in this document. This capability MAY be sent either in an Initialization message at session establishment or dynamically during the session's lifetime via a Capability message, provided that the "Dynamic Announcement" capability from [RFC5561] has been successfully negotiated with the peer. The format of this capability 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |U|F| MT Multipoint Capability | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |S| Reserved | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Figure 4: Format for the MT Multipoint Capability TLV Where: U and F bits: MUST be 1 and 0, respectively, as per Section 3 of [RFC5561]. MT Multipoint Capability: The TLV type. Length: This field specifies the length of the TLV in octets. The value of this field MUST be 1, as there is no capability-specific data [RFC5561] following the TLV. S bit: Set to 1 to announce and 0 to withdraw the capability (as per [RFC5561]). An mLDP speaker that has successfully advertised and negotiated the "MT Multipoint" capability MUST support the following: 1. Topology-scoped mLDP FECs in LDP messages (Section 3.1) 2. Topology-scoped mLDP forwarding setup (Section 6) 5. MT Applicability on FEC-Based Features 5.1. Typed Wildcard MP FEC Elements [RFC5918] extends the base LDP and defines the Typed Wildcard FEC Element framework. A Typed Wildcard FEC Element can be used in any LDP message to specify a wildcard operation for a given type of FEC. The MT extensions defined in this document do not require any extension to procedures for support of the Typed Wildcard FEC Element [RFC5918], and these procedures apply as is to Multipoint MT FEC wildcarding. Similar to the Typed Wildcard MT Prefix FEC element, as defined in [RFC7307], the MT extensions allow the use of "MT IP" or "MT IPv6" in the "Address Family" field of the Typed Wildcard MP FEC Element. This is done in order to use wildcard operations for MP FECs in the context of a given (sub-)topology as identified by the "MT-ID" and "IPA" fields. This document defines the following format and encoding for a Typed Wildcard MP FEC Element: 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |Typed Wcard (5)| Type = MP FEC | Len = 6 | AF = MT IP ..| +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |... or MT IPv6 | Reserved | IPA | MT-ID | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |MT-ID (cont.) | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Figure 5: Format for the Typed Wildcard MT MP FEC Element Where: Type: One of the MP FEC element types (P2MP, MP2MP-up, or MP2MP- down) MT-ID: MPLS MT-ID IPA: The IGP Algorithm The defined format allows a Label Switching Router (LSR) to perform wildcard MP FEC operations under the scope of a (sub-)topology. 5.2. End-of-LIB [RFC5919] specifies extensions and procedures that allow an LDP speaker to signal its End-of-LIB (Label Information Base) for a given FEC type to a peer. By leveraging the End-of-LIB message, LDP ensures that label distribution remains consistent and reliable, even during network disruptions or maintenance activities. The MT extensions for MP FEC do not require any modifications to these procedures and apply as they are to MT MP FEC elements. Consequently, an MT mLDP speaker MAY signal its convergence per (sub-)topology using the MT Typed Wildcard MP FEC Element. 6. Topology-Scoped Signaling and Forwarding Since the {MT-ID, IPA} tuple is part of an mLDP FEC, there is no need to support the concept of multiple (sub-)topology forwarding tables in mLDP. Each MP LSP will be unique due to the tuple being part of the FEC. There is also no need to have specific label forwarding tables per topology, and each MP LSP will have its own unique local label in the table. However, in order to implement MTR in an mLDP network, the selection procedures for an upstream LSR and a downstream forwarding interface need to be changed. 6.1. Upstream LSR Selection The procedures described in Section 2.4.1.1 of [RFC6388] depend on the best path to reach the root. When the {MT-ID, IPA} tuple is signaled as part of the FEC, the tuple is also used to select the (sub-)topology that must be used to find the best path to the root address. Using the next-hop from this best path, an LDP peer is selected following the procedures defined in [RFC6388]. 6.2. Downstream Forwarding Interface Selection Section 2.4.1.2 of [RFC6388] describes the procedures for how a downstream forwarding interface is selected. In these procedures, any interface leading to the downstream LDP neighbor can be considered to be a candidate forwarding interface. When the {MT-ID, IPA} tuple is part of the FEC, this is no longer true. An interface must only be selected if it is part of the same (sub-)topology that was signaled in the mLDP FEC element. Besides this restriction, the other procedures in [RFC6388] apply. 7. LSP Ping Extensions [RFC6425] defines procedures to detect data plane failures in multipoint MPLS LSPs. Section 3.1.2 of [RFC6425] defines new sub- types and sub-TLVs for Multipoint LDP FECs to be sent in the "Target FEC Stack" TLV of an MPLS Echo Request message [RFC8029]. To support LSP ping for MT MP LSPs, this document uses existing sub- types "P2MP LDP FEC Stack" and "MP2MP LDP FEC Stack" defined in [RFC6425]. The LSP ping extension is to specify "MT IP" or "MT IPv6" in the "Address Family" field, set the "Address Length" field to 8 (for MT IP) or 20 (for MT IPv6), and encode the sub-TLV with additional {MT-ID, IPA} information as an extension to the "Root LSR Address" field. The resultant format of sub-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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |Address Family (MT IP/MT IPv6) | Address Length| | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | ~ Root LSR Address (Cont.) ~ | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Reserved | IPA | MT-ID | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Opaque Length | Opaque Value ... | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + ~ ~ | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Figure 6: Multipoint LDP FEC Stack Sub-TLV Format for MT The rules and procedures of using this new sub-TLV in an MPLS Echo Request message are the same as defined for the P2MP/MP2MP LDP FEC Stack sub-TLV in [RFC6425]. The only difference is that the "Root LSR Address" field is now (sub-)topology scoped. 8. Security Considerations This extension to mLDP does not introduce any new security considerations beyond what is already applied to the base LDP specification [RFC5036], the LDP extensions for Multi-Topology specification [RFC7307], the base mLDP specification [RFC6388], and the MPLS security framework specification [RFC5920]. 9. IANA Considerations This document defines a new LDP capability parameter TLV called the "MT Multipoint Capability". IANA has assigned the value 0x0510 from the "TLV Type Name Space" registry in the "Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) Parameters" group as the new code point. +========+===============+===========+=========================+ | Value | Description | Reference | Notes/Registration Date | +========+===============+===========+=========================+ | 0x0510 | MT Multipoint | RFC 9658 | | | | Capability | | | +--------+---------------+-----------+-------------------------+ Table 1: MT Multipoint Capability 10.
