1. Introduction
RFC 4872 [RFC4872] defines extensions for Resource Reservation
Protocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) to support Shared Mesh
Restoration (SMR) mechanisms. SMR can be seen as a particular case
of preplanned Label Switched Path (LSP) rerouting that reduces the
recovery resource requirements by allowing multiple protecting LSPs
to share common link and node resources. The recovery resources for
the protecting LSPs are pre-reserved during the provisioning phase,
and explicit restoration signaling is required to activate (i.e.,
commit resource allocation at the data plane) a specific protecting
LSP that was instantiated during the provisioning phase. RFC 4873
[RFC4873] details the encoding of the last 32-bit Reserved field of
the PROTECTION object defined in [RFC4872].
ITU-T Recommendation G.808.3 [G808.3] defines the generic aspects of
a Shared Mesh Protection (SMP) mechanism, which are not specific to a
particular network technology in terms of architecture types,
preemption principle, path monitoring methods, etc. ITU-T
Recommendation G.873.3 [G873.3] defines the protection switching
operation and associated protocol for SMP at the Optical Data Unit
(ODU) layer. RFC 7412 [RFC7412] provides requirements for any
mechanism that would be used to implement SMP in a Multi-Protocol
Label Switching - Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) network.
SMP differs from SMR in the activation/protection switching
operation. The former activates a protecting LSP via the Automatic
Protection Switching (APS) protocol in the data plane when the
working LSP fails, while the latter does it via control plane
signaling. It is therefore necessary to distinguish SMP from SMR
during provisioning so that each node involved behaves appropriately
in the recovery phase when activation of a protecting LSP is done.
SMP has advantages with regard to the recovery speed compared with
SMR.
This document updates [RFC4872] and [RFC4873] to provide extensions
for Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) signaling to
support the control of the SMP mechanism. Specifically, it
* defines a new LSP Protection Type, "Shared Mesh Protection", for
the LSP Flags field [RFC4872] of the PROTECTION object (see
Section 6.1),
* updates the definitions of the Notification (N) and Operational
(O) fields [RFC4872] of the PROTECTION object to take the new SMP
type into account (see Section 6.2), and
* updates the definition of the 16-bit Reserved field [RFC4873] of
the PROTECTION object to allocate 8 bits to signal the SMP
preemption priority (see Section 6.3).
Only the generic aspects for signaling SMP are addressed by this
document. The technology-specific aspects are expected to be
addressed by other documents.
RFC 8776 [RFC8776] defines a collection of common YANG data types for
Traffic Engineering (TE) configuration and state capabilities. It
defines several identities for LSP Protection Types. As this
document introduces a new LSP Protection Type, [RFC8776] is expected
to be updated to support the SMP mechanism specified in this
document. [YANG-TE] defines a YANG data model for the provisioning
and management of TE tunnels, LSPs, and interfaces. It includes some
protection and restoration data nodes relevant to this document.
Management aspects of the SMP mechanism are outside the scope of this
document, and they are expected to be addressed by other documents.

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

In addition, the reader is assumed to be familiar with the
terminology used in [RFC4872], RFC 4426 [RFC4426], and RFC 6372
[RFC6372].
3. SMP Definition
[G808.3] defines the generic aspects of an SMP mechanism. [G873.3]
defines the protection switching operation and associated protocol
for SMP at the ODU layer. [RFC7412] provides requirements for any
mechanism that would be used to implement SMP in an MPLS-TP network.
The SMP mechanism is based on precomputed protecting LSPs that are
preconfigured into the network elements. Preconfiguration here means
pre-reserving resources for the protecting LSPs without activating a
particular protecting LSP (e.g., in circuit networks, the cross-
connects in the intermediate nodes of the protecting LSP are not
preestablished). Preconfiguring but not activating protecting LSPs
allows link and node resources to be shared by the protecting LSPs of
multiple working LSPs (which are themselves disjoint and thus
unlikely to fail simultaneously). Protecting LSPs are activated in
response to failures of working LSPs or operator commands by means of
the APS protocol, which operates in the data plane. The APS protocol
messages are exchanged along the protecting LSP. SMP is always
revertive.
SMP is very similar to SMR, except that activation in the case of SMR
is achieved by control plane signaling during the recovery operation,
while the same is done for SMP by the APS protocol in the data plane.
4. Operation of SMP with GMPLS Signaling Extensions
Consider the network topology shown in Figure 1:
A---B---C---D
\ /
E---F---G
/ \
H---I---J---K
Figure 1: An Example of an SMP Topology
The working LSPs [A,B,C,D] and [H,I,J,K] could be protected by the
protecting LSPs [A,E,F,G,D] and [H,E,F,G,K], respectively. Per RFC
3209 [RFC3209], in order to achieve resource sharing during the
signaling of these protecting LSPs, they have the same Tunnel
Endpoint Address (as part of their SESSION object). However, these
addresses are not the same in this example. Similar to SMR, this
document defines a new LSP Protection Type of the secondary LSP as
"Shared Mesh Protection" (see Section 6.1) to allow resource sharing
along nodes E, F, and G. Examples of shared resources include the
capacity of a link and the cross-connects in a node. In this case,
the protecting LSPs are not merged (which is useful, since the paths
diverge at G), but the resources along E, F, and G can be shared.
When a failure, such as Signal Fail (SF) or Signal Degrade (SD),
occurs on one of the working LSPs (say, working LSP [A,B,C,D]), the
end node (say, node A) that detects the failure initiates the
protection switching operation. End node A will send a protection
switching request APS message (for example, SF) to its adjacent
(downstream) intermediate node (say, node E) to activate the
corresponding protecting LSP and will wait for a confirmation message
from node E.
If the protection resource is available, node E will send the
confirmation APS message to the end node (node A) and forward the
switching request APS message to its adjacent (downstream) node (say,
node F). When the confirmation APS message is received by node A,
the cross-connection on node A is established. At this time, traffic
is bridged to and selected from the protecting LSP at node A. After
forwarding the switching request APS message, node E will wait for a
confirmation APS message from node F, which triggers node E to set up
the cross-connection for the protecting LSP being activated.
If the protection resource is not available (due to failure or being
used by higher-priority connections), the switching will not be
successful; the intermediate node (node E) MUST send a message to
notify the end node (node A) (see Section 5.5). If the resource is
in use by a lower-priority protecting LSP, the lower-priority service
will be removed, and the intermediate node will then follow the
procedure as described for the case when the protection resource is
available for the higher-priority protecting LSP.
If node E fails to allocate the protection resource, it MUST send a
message to notify node A (see Section 5.5). Then, node A will stop
bridging and selecting traffic to/from the protecting LSP and proceed
with the procedure of removing the protection allocation according to
the APS protocol.
5. GMPLS Signaling Extensions for SMP
The following subsections detail how LSPs using SMP can be signaled
in an interoperable fashion using GMPLS RSVP-TE extensions (see RFC
3473 [RFC3473]). This signaling enables:
(1) the ability to identify a "secondary protecting LSP" (LSP
[A,E,F,G,D] or LSP [H,E,F,G,K] from Figure 1, here called the
"secondary LSP") used to recover another "primary working LSP"
(LSP [A,B,C,D] or LSP [H,I,J,K] from Figure 1, here called the
"protected LSP"),
(2) the ability to associate the secondary LSP with the protected
LSP,
(3) the capability to include information about the resources used
by the protected LSP while instantiating the secondary LSP,
(4) the capability to instantiate several secondary LSPs efficiently
during the provisioning phase, and
(5) the capability to support activation of a secondary LSP via the
APS protocol in the data plane if a failure occurs.
5.1. Identifiers
To simplify association operations, both LSPs (i.e., the protected
LSP and the secondary LSP) belong to the same session. Thus, the
SESSION object MUST be the same for both LSPs. The LSP ID, however,
MUST be different to distinguish between the protected LSP and the
secondary LSP.
A new LSP Protection Type, "Shared Mesh Protection", is defined (see
Section 6.1) for the LSP Flags field of the PROTECTION object (see
[RFC4872]) to set up the two LSPs. This LSP Protection Type value is
only applicable to bidirectional LSPs as required in [G808.3].
5.2. Signaling Primary LSPs
The PROTECTION object (see [RFC4872]) is included in the Path message
during signaling of the primary working LSPs, with the LSP Protection
Type value set to "Shared Mesh Protection".
Primary working LSPs are signaled by setting in the PROTECTION object
the S bit to 0, the P bit to 0, and the N bit to 1; and setting in
the ASSOCIATION object the Association ID to the associated secondary
protecting LSP_ID.
| Note: The N bit is set to indicate that the protection
| switching signaling is done via the data plane.
5.3. Signaling Secondary LSPs
The PROTECTION object (see [RFC4872]) is included in the Path message
during signaling of the secondary protecting LSPs, with the LSP
Protection Type value set to "Shared Mesh Protection".
Secondary protecting LSPs are signaled by setting in the PROTECTION
object the S bit, the P bit, and the N bit to 1; and setting in the
ASSOCIATION object the Association ID to the associated primary
working LSP_ID, which MUST be known before signaling of the secondary
LSP. Moreover, the Path message used to instantiate the secondary
LSP MUST include at least one PRIMARY_PATH_ROUTE object (see
[RFC4872]) that further allows for recovery resource sharing at each
intermediate node along the secondary path.
With this setting, the resources for the secondary LSP MUST be pre-
reserved but not committed at the data plane level, meaning that the
internals of the switch need not be established until explicit action
is taken to activate this LSP. Activation of a secondary LSP and
protection switching to the activated protecting LSP is done using
the APS protocol in the data plane.
After protection switching completes, the protecting LSP MUST be
signaled by setting the S bit to 0 and the O bit to 1 in the
PROTECTION object. At this point, the link and node resources MUST
be allocated for this LSP, which becomes a primary LSP (ready to
carry traffic). The formerly working LSP MAY be signaled with the A
bit set in the ADMIN_STATUS object (see [RFC3473]).
Support for extra traffic in SMP is left for further study.
Therefore, mechanisms to set up LSPs for extra traffic are outside
the scope of this document.
5.4. SMP Preemption Priority
The SMP preemption priority of a protecting LSP is used by the APS
protocol to resolve competition for shared resources among multiple
protecting LSPs and is indicated in the Preemption Priority field of
the PROTECTION object in the Path message of the protecting LSP.
The Setup and Holding priorities in the SESSION_ATTRIBUTE object can
be used by GMPLS to control LSP preemption, but they are not used by
the APS to resolve competition among multiple protecting LSPs. This
avoids the need to define a complex policy for defining Setup and
Holding priorities when used for both GMPLS control plane LSP
preemption and SMP shared resource competition resolution.
When an intermediate node on the protecting LSP receives the Path
message, the priority value in the Preemption Priority field MUST be
stored for that protecting LSP. When resource competition among
multiple protecting LSPs occurs, the APS protocol will use their
priority values to resolve this competition. A lower value has a
higher priority.
In SMP, a preempted LSP MUST NOT be terminated even after its
resources have been deallocated. Once the working LSP and the
protecting LSP are configured or preconfigured, the end node MUST
keep refreshing both working and protecting LSPs, regardless of
failure or preemption status.
5.5. Availability of Shared Resources: The Notify Message
When a lower-priority protecting LSP is preempted, the intermediate
node that performed the preemption MUST send a Notify message with
error code "Notify Error" (25) (see [RFC4872]) and error sub-code
"Shared resources unavailable" (17) to the end nodes of that
protecting LSP. Upon receipt of this Notify message, the end node
MUST stop sending and selecting traffic to/from its protecting LSP
and try switching the traffic to another protecting LSP, if
available.
When a protecting LSP occupies the shared resources and they become
unavailable, the same Notify message MUST be generated by the
intermediate node to all the end nodes of the protecting LSPs that
have lower SMP preemption priorities than the one that has occupied
the shared resources. If the shared resources become unavailable due
to a failure in the shared resources, the same Notify message MUST be
generated by the intermediate node to all the end nodes of the
protecting LSPs that have been configured to use the shared
resources. In the case of a failure of the working LSP, these end
nodes MUST avoid trying to switch traffic to these protecting LSPs
that have been configured to use the shared resources and try
switching the traffic to other protecting LSPs, if available.
When the shared resources become available, a Notify message with
error code "Notify Error" (25) and error sub-code "Shared resources
available" (18) MUST be generated by the intermediate node. The
recipients of this Notify message are the end nodes of the lower-
priority protecting LSPs that have been preempted and/or all the end
nodes of the protecting LSPs that have lower SMP preemption
priorities than the one that does not need the shared resources
anymore. Upon receipt of this Notify message, the end node is
allowed to reinitiate the protection switching operation as described
in Section 4, if it still needs the protection resource.
5.6. SMP APS Configuration
SMP relies on APS protocol messages being exchanged between the nodes
along the path to activate a protecting LSP.
In order to allow the exchange of APS protocol messages, an APS
channel has to be configured between adjacent nodes along the path of
the protecting LSP. This is done by means other than GMPLS
signaling, before any protecting LSP has been set up. Therefore,
there are likely additional requirements for APS configuration that
are outside the scope of this document.
Depending on the APS protocol message format, the APS protocol may
use different identifiers than GMPLS signaling to identify the
protecting LSP.
Since the APS protocol is left for further study per [G808.3], it can
be assumed that the APS message format and identifiers are technology
specific and/or vendor specific. Therefore, additional requirements
for APS configuration are outside the scope of this document.
6. Updates to PROTECTION Object
GMPLS extension requirements for SMP introduce several updates to the
PROTECTION object (see [RFC4872]), as detailed below.
6.1. New Protection Type
A new LSP Protection Type, "Shared Mesh Protection", is added in the
PROTECTION object. This LSP Protection Type value is only applicable
to bidirectional LSPs.
LSP (Protection Type) Flags:
0x20: Shared Mesh Protection
The rules defined in Section 14.2 of [RFC4872] ensure that all the
nodes along an SMP LSP are SMP aware. Therefore, there are no
backward-compatibility issues.
6.2. Updates to Definitions of Notification and Operational Bits
The definitions of the N and O bits in Section 14.1 of [RFC4872] are
replaced as follows:
Notification (N): 1 bit
When set to 1, this bit indicates that the control plane message
exchange is only used for notification during protection
switching. When set to 0 (default), it indicates that the control
plane message exchanges are used for purposes of protection
switching. The N bit is only applicable when the LSP Protection
Type Flag is set to 0x04 (1:N Protection with Extra-Traffic), 0x08
(1+1 Unidirectional Protection), 0x10 (1+1 Bidirectional
Protection), or 0x20 (Shared Mesh Protection). The N bit MUST be
set to 0 in any other case. If 0x20 (SMP), the N bit MUST be set
to 1.
Operational (O): 1 bit
When set to 1, this bit indicates that the protecting LSP is
carrying traffic after protection switching. The O bit is only
applicable when (1) the P bit is set to 1 and (2) the LSP
Protection Type Flag is set to 0x04 (1:N Protection with Extra-
Traffic), 0x08 (1+1 Unidirectional Protection), 0x10 (1+1
Bidirectional Protection), or 0x20 (Shared Mesh Protection). The
O bit MUST be set to 0 in any other case.
6.3. Preemption Priority
[RFC4872] reserved a 32-bit field in the PROTECTION object header.
Subsequently, [RFC4873] allocated several bits from that field and
left the remainder of the bits reserved. This specification further
allocates the Preemption Priority field from the remaining formerly
reserved bits. The 32-bit field in the PROTECTION object as defined
in [RFC4872] and modified by [RFC4873] is updated by this document 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
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|I|R| Reserved | Seg.Flags | Reserved | Preempt Prio |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Preemption Priority (Preempt Prio): 8 bits
This field indicates the SMP preemption priority of a protecting
LSP, when the LSP Protection Type field indicates "Shared Mesh
Protection". The SMP preemption priority value is configured at
the end nodes of the protecting LSP by a network operator. A
lower value has a higher priority. The decision regarding how
many priority levels should be implemented in an SMP network is
left to network operators.
See [RFC4873] for the definitions of the other fields.
7. IANA Considerations
IANA maintains a group of registries called "Resource Reservation
Protocol (RSVP) Parameters", which includes the "Error Codes and
Globally-Defined Error Value Sub-Codes" registry. IANA has added the
following values to the "Sub-Codes - 25 Notify Error" subregistry,
which lists error value sub-codes that may be used with error code
25. IANA has allocated the following error value sub-codes (Table 1)
for use with this error code as described in this document.
+=======+==============================+===========+
| Value | Description | Reference |
+=======+==============================+===========+
| 17 | Shared resources unavailable | RFC 9270 |
+-------+------------------------------+-----------+
| 18 | Shared resources available | RFC 9270 |
+-------+------------------------------+-----------+
Table 1: New Error Sub-Codes
8. Security Considerations
Since this document makes use of the exchange of RSVP messages that
include a Notify message, the security threats discussed in [RFC4872]
also apply to this document.
Additionally, it may be possible to cause disruption to traffic on
one protecting LSP by targeting a link used by the primary LSP of
another, higher-priority LSP somewhere completely different in the
network. For example, in Figure 1, assume that the preemption
priority of LSP [A,E,F,G,D] is higher than that of LSP [H,E,F,G,K]
and the protecting LSP [H,E,F,G,K] is being used to transport
traffic. If link B-C is attacked, traffic on LSP [H,E,F,G,K] can be
disrupted. For this reason, it is important not only to use security
mechanisms as discussed in [RFC4872] but also to acknowledge that
detailed knowledge of a network's topology, including routes and
priorities of LSPs, can help an attacker better target or improve the
efficacy of an attack.
