support. This document provides an expansion of the basic
requirements presented in RFC 5654 ("Requirements of an MPLS
Transport Profile") and RFC 6372 ("MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP)
Survivability Framework"). This document provides requirements for
any mechanism that would be used to implement SMP for MPLS-TP data
paths, in networks that delegate protection switch coordination to
the data plane.

RFC 7412 MPLS SMP Requirements December 2014
1. Introduction
The MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) is described in [RFC5921].
[RFC6372] provides a survivability framework for MPLS-TP and is the
foundation for this document.
Terminology for recovery of connectivity in networks is provided in
[RFC4427] and includes the concept of surviving network faults
(survivability) through the use of re-established connections
(restoration) and switching of traffic to pre-established backup
paths (protection). MPLS provides control-plane tools to support
various survivability schemes, some of which are identified in
[RFC4426]. In addition, recent efforts in the IETF have started
providing for data-plane tools to address aspects of data protection.
In particular, [RFC6378] and [RFC7271] define a set of triggers and
coordination protocols for 1:1 and 1+1 linear protection of point-to-
point paths.
When considering a full-mesh network and the protection of different
paths that traverse the mesh, it is possible to provide an acceptable
level of protection while conserving the amount of protection
resources needed to protect the different data paths. As pointed out
in [RFC6372] and [RFC4427], applying 1+1 protection requires that
resources are allocated for use by both the working and protection
paths. Applying 1:1 protection requires that the same resources are
allocated but allows the resources of the protection path to be
utilized for preemptible extra traffic. Extending this to 1:n or m:n
protection allows the resources of the protection path to be shared
in the protection of several working paths. However, 1:n or m:n
protection architecture is limited by the restriction that all of the
n+1 or m+n paths must have the same endpoints. m:n protection
architecture provides m protection paths to protect n working paths,
where m or n can be 1.
This document provides requirements for any mechanism that would be
used to implement SMP for MPLS-TP data paths, in networks that
delegate protection switch coordination to the data plane.
2. Terminology and Notation
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
Although this document is not a protocol specification, the use of
this language clarifies the instructions to protocol designers
producing solutions that satisfy the requirements set out in this
document.
Weingarten, et al. Informational [Page 3]
RFC 7412 MPLS SMP Requirements December 2014
The terminology used in this document is based on the terminology
defined in the MPLS-TP Survivability Framework document [RFC6372],
which in turn is based on [RFC4427].
2.1. Acronyms and Terminology
This document uses the following acronyms:
LSP Label Switched Path
SLA Service Level Agreement
SMP Shared Mesh Protection
SRLG Shared Risk Link Group
This document defines the following term:
SMP Protection Group: the set of different protection paths that
share a common segment.
3. Shared Mesh Protection Reference Model
As described in [RFC6372], SMP supports the sharing of protection
resources, while providing protection for multiple working paths that
need not have common endpoints and do not share common points of
failure. Note that some protection resources may be shared, while
some others may not be. An example of data paths that employ SMP is
shown in Figure 1. It shows two working paths -- <ABCDE> and <VWXYZ>
-- that are protected employing 1:1 linear protection by protection
paths <APQRE> and <VPQRZ>, respectively. The two protection paths
that traverse segment <PQR> share the protection resources on this
segment.

RFC 7412 MPLS SMP Requirements December 2014
3.1. Protection or Restoration
[RFC6372], based upon the definitions in [RFC4427], differentiates
between "protection" and "restoration", depending on the dynamism of
the resource allocation. The same distinction is used in [RFC3945],
[RFC4426], and [RFC4428].
This document also uses the same distinction between protection and
restoration as the distinction stated in [RFC6372].
3.2. Scope of Document
[RFC5654] establishes that MPLS-TP SHOULD support shared protection
(Requirement 68) and that MPLS-TP MUST support sharing of protection
resources (Requirement 69). This document presents the network
objectives and a framework for applying SMP within an MPLS network,
without the use of control-plane protocols. Although there are
existing control-plane solutions for SMP within MPLS, a data-plane
solution is required for networks that do not employ a full control-
plane operation for some reason (e.g., service provider preferences
or limitations) or require service restoration faster than is
achievable with control-plane mechanisms.
The network objectives will also address possible additional
restrictions on the behavior of SMP in networks that delegate
protection switching for resiliency to the data plane. Definitions
of logic and specific protocol messaging are out of scope for this
document.
3.2.1. Relationship to MPLS
While some of the restrictions presented by this document originate
from the properties of transport networks, nothing prevents the
information presented here from being applied to MPLS networks
outside the scope of the Transport Profile of MPLS.

4. SMP Architecture
Figure 1 shows a very basic configuration of working and protection
paths that may employ SMP. We may consider a slightly more complex
configuration, such as the one in Figure 2 in order to illustrate
characteristics of a mesh network that implements SMP.

Figure 2: Example of a Larger SMP Architecture
Consider the network presented in Figure 2. There are five working
paths:
- <ABCDE>
- <MDEN>
- <FGH>
- <JKL>
- <VWXYZ>
Each of these has a corresponding protection path:
- <APQRE> (p1)
- <MSTN> (p2)
- <FPQH> (p3)
- <JRSL> (p4)
- <VPQRSTZ> (p5)
Weingarten, et al. Informational [Page 6]
RFC 7412 MPLS SMP Requirements December 2014
The following segments are shared by two or more of the protection
paths -- <PQ> is shared by p1, p3, and p5; <QR> is shared by p1 and
p5; <RS> is shared by p4 and p5; and <ST> is shared by p2 and p5. In
Figure 2, we have the following SMP Protection Groups -- {p1, p3, p5}
for <PQ>, {p1, p5} for <QR>, {p4, p5} for <RS>, and {p2, p5}
for <ST>.
We assume that the available protection resources for these shared
segments are not sufficient to support the complete traffic capacity
of the respective working paths that may use the protection paths.
We can further observe that with a method of coordinating sharing and
preemption, there are no co-routing constraints on shared components
at the segment level.
The use of preemption in the network is typically a business or
policy decision such that when protection resources are contested,
priority can be applied to determine which parties utilize the
protection resources.
As opposed to the case of simple linear protection, where the
relationship between the working and protection paths is defined and
the resources for the protection path are fully dedicated, the
protection path in the case of SMP consists of segments that are used
for the protection of the related working path and also segments that
are shared with other protection paths such that typically the
protection resources are oversubscribed to support working paths that
do not share common points of failure. What is required is a
preemption mechanism to implement business priority when multiple
failure scenarios occur. As such, the protection resources may be
allocated but would not be utilized until requested and resolved in
relation to other members of the SMP Protection Group as part of a
protection switchover.
[RFC6372] defines two types of preemption that can be considered for
how the resources of SMP Protection Groups are shared: "soft
preemption", where traffic of lower-priority paths is degraded; and
"hard preemption", where traffic of lower-priority paths is
completely blocked. The traffic of lower-priority paths in this
document can be viewed as the extra traffic being preempted, as
described in [RFC6372]. "Hard preemption" requires the programming
of selectors at the ingress of each shared segment to specify the
priorities of backup paths, so that traffic of lower-priority paths
can be preempted. When any protection mechanism where the protection
endpoint may have a choice of protection paths (e.g., m:n or m:1) is
deployed, the shared segment selectors require coordination with the
protection endpoints as well.
Weingarten, et al. Informational [Page 7]
RFC 7412 MPLS SMP Requirements December 2014
Typical deployment of services that use SMP requires various network
planning activities. These include the following:
o Determining the number of working and protection paths required to
achieve resiliency targets for the service.
o Reviewing network topology to determine which working or
protection paths are required to be disjoint from each other, and
excluding specified resources such as links, nodes, or shared risk
link groups (SRLGs).
o Determining the size (bandwidth) of the shared resource.
4.1. Coordination of Resources
When a protection switch is triggered, the SMP network performs two
operations -- switching data traffic over to a protection path and
coordinating the utilization of the associated shared resources.
Both operations should occur at the same time, or as close together
as possible, to provide fast protection. The resource utilization
coordination is dependent upon their availability at each of the
shared segments.
When the reserved resources of the shared segments are utilized by a
particular protection path, there may not be sufficient resources
available for an additional protection path. This then implies that
if another working path of the SMP domain triggers a protection
switch, the resource utilization coordination may fail. The
different working paths in the SMP network are involved in the
resource utilization coordination, which is a part of a whole SMP
protection switching coordination.
4.2. Control Plane or Data Plane
As stated in both [RFC6372] and [RFC4428], full control of SMP,
including both configuration and the coordination of the protection
switching, is potentially very complex. Therefore, it is suggested
that this be carried out under the control of a dynamic control plane
based on Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) [RFC3945]. Implementations for SMP
with GMPLS exist, and the general principles of its operation are
well known, if not fully documented.
However, there are operators, in particular in the transport sector,
that do not operate their MPLS-TP networks under the control of a
control plane or for other reasons have delegated executive action
for resilience to the data plane, and require the ability to utilize
Weingarten, et al. Informational [Page 8]
RFC 7412 MPLS SMP Requirements December 2014
SMP protection. For such networks, it is imperative that it be
possible to perform all required coordination of selectors and
endpoints for SMP via data-plane operations.
5. SMP Network Objectives
5.1. Resource Reservation and Coordination
SMP is based on pre-configuration of the working paths and the
corresponding protection paths. This configuration may be based on
either a control protocol or static configuration by the management
system. However, even when the configuration is performed by a
control protocol, e.g., GMPLS, the control protocol SHALL NOT be used
as the primary mechanism for detecting or reporting network failures,
or for initiating or coordinating protection switchover. That is, it
SHALL NOT be used as the primary resilience mechanism.
The protection relationship between the working and protection paths
SHOULD be configured, and the shared segments of the protection path
MUST be identified prior to use of the protection paths. Relative
priority for working paths to be used to resolve contention for
protection path usage by multiple working paths MAY also be specified
ahead of time.
When a protection switch is triggered by any fault condition or
operator command, the SMP network MUST perform two operations --
switch data traffic over to a protection path, and coordinate the
utilization of the associated shared resources. To provide fast
protection, both operations MUST occur at the same time or as close
to the same time as possible.
In the case of multiple working paths failing, the shared resource
utilization coordination SHALL be between the different working paths
in the SMP network.
5.1.1. Checking Resource Availability for Multiple Protection Paths
In a hard-preemption scenario, when an endpoint identifies a
protection switching trigger and has more than one potential action
(e.g., m:1 protection), it MUST verify that the necessary protection
resources are available on the selected protection path. The
resources may not be available because they have already been
utilized for the protection of, for example, one or more higher-
priority working paths.
Weingarten, et al. Informational [Page 9]
RFC 7412 MPLS SMP Requirements December 2014
5.2. Multiple Triggers
If more than one working path is triggering a protection switch such
that a protection segment is oversubscribed, there are two different
actions that the SMP network can choose -- soft preemption and hard
preemption [RFC6372].
5.2.1. Soft Preemption
For networks that support multiplexing packets over the shared
segments, the requirement is as follows:
o All of the protection paths MAY be allowed to share the resources
of the shared segments.
5.2.2. Hard Preemption
There are networks that require the exclusive use of the protection
resources when a protection segment is oversubscribed. Traffic of
lower-priority paths is completely blocked. These include networks
that support the requirements in [RFC5654], and in particular support
Requirement 58. For such networks, the following requirements apply:
1. Relative priority MAY be assigned to each of the working paths of
an SMP domain. If the priority is not assigned, the working paths
are assumed to have equal priority.
2. Resources of the shared segments SHALL be utilized by the
protection path according to the highest priority amongst those
requesting use of the resources.
3. If multiple protection paths of equal priority are requesting the
shared resources, the resources SHALL be utilized on a first come
first served basis. Traffic of the protection paths that request
the shared resources late SHALL be preempted. In order to cover
the situation where the first come first served principle cannot
resolve the contention among multiple equal-priority requests,
i.e., when the requests occur simultaneously, tie-breaking rules
SHALL be defined in the scope of an SMP domain.
4. If a higher-priority path requires the protection resources that
are being utilized by a lower-priority path, the resources SHALL
be utilized by the higher-priority path. Traffic with the lower
priority SHALL be preempted.
Weingarten, et al. Informational [Page 10]
RFC 7412 MPLS SMP Requirements December 2014
5. Once resources of shared segments have been successfully utilized
by a protection path, the traffic on that protection path SHALL
NOT be interrupted by any protection traffic whose priority is
equal to or lower than the protecting path currently in use.
6. During preemption, shared segment resources MAY be used by both
existing traffic (that is being preempted) and higher-priority
traffic.
5.3. Notification
When a working path endpoint has a protection switch triggered, it
SHOULD attempt to switch the traffic to the protection path and
request the coordination of the shared resource utilization. If the
necessary shared resources are unavailable, the endpoints of the
requesting working path SHALL be notified of protection switchover
failure, and switchover will not be completed.
Similarly, if preemption is supported and the resources currently
utilized by a particular working path are being preempted, then the
endpoints of the affected working path whose traffic is being
preempted SHALL be notified that the resources are being preempted.
As described in [RFC6372], the event of preemption may be detected by
Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) and reported as a
fault or a degradation of traffic delivery.
5.4. Reversion
When the condition that triggered the protection switch is cleared,
it is possible to either revert to using the working path resources
or continue to utilize the protection resources. Continuing the use
of protection resources allows the operator to delay the disruption
of service caused by the switchover until periods of lighter traffic.
The switchover would need to be performed via an explicit operator
command, unless the protection resources are preempted by a higher-
priority fault. Hence, both automatic and manual revertive behaviors
MUST be supported for hard preemption in an SMP domain. Normally,
the network should revert to use of the working path resources in
order to clear the protection resources for protection of other path
triggers. However, the protocol MUST support non-revertive
configurations.
5.5. Protection Switching Time
Protection switching time refers to the transfer time (Tt) defined in
[G.808.1] and recovery switching time defined in [RFC4427], and is
defined as the interval after a switching trigger is identified until
the traffic begins to be transmitted on the protection path. This
Weingarten, et al. Informational [Page 11]
RFC 7412 MPLS SMP Requirements December 2014
time does not include the time needed to initiate the protection
switching process after a failure occurred, and the time needed to
complete preemption of existing traffic on the shared segments as
described in Section 4.2. The time needed to initiate the protection
switching process, which is known as detection time or correlation
time in [RFC4427], is related to the OAM or management process, but
the time needed to complete preemption is related to the actions
within an SMP domain. Support for a protection switching time of
50 ms is dependent upon the initial switchover to the protection
path, but the preemption time SHOULD also be taken into account to
minimize total service interruption time.
When triggered, protection switching action SHOULD be initiated
immediately to minimize service interruption time.
5.6. Timers
In order to prevent multiple switching actions for a single switching
trigger, when there are multiple layers of networks, SMP SHOULD be
controlled by a hold-off timer that would allow lower-layer
mechanisms to complete their switching actions before invoking SMP
protection actions as described in [RFC6372].
In order to prevent an unstable recovering working path from invoking
intermittent switching operations, SMP SHOULD employ a
Wait-To-Restore timer during any reversion switching, as described in
[RFC6372].
5.7. Communication Channel and Fate-Sharing
SMP SHOULD provide a communication channel, along the protection
path, between the endpoints of the protection path, to support fast
protection switching.
SMP in hard-preemption mode SHOULD include support for communicating
information to coordinate the use of the shared protection resources
among multiple working paths. The message encoding and communication
channel between the nodes of the shared protection resource and the
endpoints of the protection path are out of the scope of this
document.
Bidirectional protection switching SHOULD be supported in SMP.
Weingarten, et al. Informational [Page 12]
RFC 7412 MPLS SMP Requirements December 2014
6. Manageability Considerations
The network management architecture and requirements for MPLS-TP are
specified in [RFC5951]. They derive from the generic specifications
described in ITU-T G.7710/Y.1701 [G.7710] for transport technologies.
This document does not introduce any new manageability requirements
beyond those covered in those documents.
7. Security Considerations
General security considerations for MPLS-TP are covered in [RFC5921].
The security considerations for the generic associated control
channel are described in [RFC5586].
Security considerations for any proposed solution should consider
exhaustion of resources related to preemption, especially by a
malicious actor as a threat vector against which the resources should
be protected. Protections should also be considered to prevent a
malicious actor from attempting to create an alternate path on which
to force traffic from a sensor/device, thereby enabling pervasive
monitoring [RFC7258].
