Hi Jeffrey, Please see Dfh4> below.
Thanks. Fanghong From: Jeffrey (Zhaohui) Zhang [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, June 18, 2022 6:36 AM To: duanfanghong <[email protected]>; [email protected] Subject: RE: [bess] A new draft for MVPN in IPv6-only network. HI Fanghong, Let me pull up the points up here at the top. Dfh3> I think you were making a mistake, RT-constrain is an extra procedure and cannot run without obsoleting the propagating-along-reverse-path-of-I-PMSI procedure. So, I think the solution you considered is with too many limitation, only applicable in some specific cases with distinct RDs of <MVPN,PE> tuple and with obsoleting the propagating-along-reverse-path-of-I-PMSI procedure in regular MVPN, and may leave the complication/limitation to deployment. Regardless of whether RDs are different or not, the solution in draft-zzhang-bess-mvpn-evpn-cmcast-enhancements (draft-zzhang) works for “non-segmented provider tunnel in IPv6-only network”. Dfh4> I don’t think so. If two ingress PEs are with a same RD, Leaf PEs are difficult to perform SFS even if [ADD-PTAH] is enabled on RRs as described in RFC7716, resulting in which two Leaf PEs selecting different ingress PE send C-multicast routes carrying different RT extended community (The global administrator fields are with different originator IP addresses of corresponding ingress PE) but with a same NLRI key because you set the “Source AS” filed to 0 in that document, causing that only one route is selected on RRs / ASBRs and the other one cannot be targeted to the corresponding ingress PE. Dfh4> If the RDs are different, your solution is less optimal as you described in that document if RT-constrain is not available. RT-constrain is a well-deployed feature. The propagating-along-reverse-path-of-I-PMSI procedures does not need to be “obsoleted” (or a better way to say is that existing code will work with RT-constrain for “non-segmented tunnels in IPv6 provider network”). Simply put, non-segmented tunnels in IPv6 provider network” works once you use RT-constrain. No new code is needed. Dfh4> I don’t think so. The code of C-multicast propagating control in ASBRs must also be modified to do not check the existence of Intra-AS AD if “Source AS” filed is zero according to your solution, otherwise the procedure of your solution cannot run even if RT-constrain is available, because RT-constrain is an extra procedure and before it takes part the routes must complete corresponding processing of MVPN process in which your zero “Source AS” C-multicast routes are processed as invalid routes in regular MVPN because no corresponding Intra-AS AD is found. Dfh3> So, This is the reason why I consider two ingress PE with a same RD is a different scenarios, especially in some real deployment cases, same RD may be needed and important… Our solution is aiming at those cases and helps providing a reliable Single Forward Selection. Indeed, the RD discussion is for a different issue that is not IPv6 specific. I had acknowledged that very early in this email thread. However, the following solution in your draft does *not* provide “a reliable Single Forward Selection”: 3. If the Originating Router's IP Address field of the found Intra- AS I-PMSI A-D route is an IPv6 address and the root PE and leaf PE are in the different ASs, a four bytes distinct value MUST be assigned by leaf PE for each root PE, the Root Distinguisher field in C-Multicast NLRI is filled with this value and a distinct C-multicast route will be send to individual upstream root PE. The only way to provide “a reliable Single Forward Selection” is for the UMH routes to carry distinct RDs. I assume that the above is intended to address the following: In [RFC7716<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7716>], zero RD is introduced in BGP MVPN NLRIs to enable Global Table Multicast service in provider's networks. In IPv6 infrastructure networks, Leaf PEs cannot send two distinct C-multicast route to two individual upstream root PEs for selctive forwarding, because the RD of the two roots is the same. Dfh4> In the early part of this discussion, I agreed with you that the RD issue is not specified for IPv6. I think it more critical than IPv4 because the source AS field cannot hold a IPv6 address, this is why I listed it in this document. Dfh4> I think the main points of what we are discussing are how to send distinct C-multicast routes to different ingress PEs and how to provide “a reliable Single Forward Selection”. Dfh4> 1. To carry distinct RDs which is recommended in RFC 6514 is certainly a way (not the only one) to achieve the two points, however I think it is no need to obsolete the propagating-along-the-reverse-path-of-I-PMSI procedure and only rely on RT-constrain, because the propagating-along-the-reverse-path-of-I-PMSI procedure is a propagating control of MVPN itself and RT-constrain is an extra procedure and not mandatory in deployment. In the propagating control part of my document, it described the solution that using the global administrator fields of RT extended community (it is a new type of RT extended community with both the function of targeting C-multicast routes on ingress PEs and propagating control between ASBRs) instead of the source AS field to control the C-multicast routes propagation between ASBRs, which can apply in both IPv4 and IPv6 infrastructure scenarios. I will add some description in my document for the cases of ingress PE with distinct RD. Dfh4> 2. In the scenarios of ingress PE with a same RD, the source AS field is used to distinguish C-multicast routes. To provide “a reliable Single Forward Selection”, I explained at the early part that I’ll publish a better solution without relying on [ADD-PATH]. Dfh4> To deploy distinct RDs or not is determined by scenarios, a protocol design of MVPN cannot rely on only one option of them. However, it has the following issues: 1. The problem you wanted to address is not specific to IPv6 or Inter-AS or tunnel segmentation, yet the proposal above is IPv6 specific. Dfh4> I have explained in the above. 2. The above solution, even after made IPv6-agnostic, does not work for inter-AS segmentation if we still depend on propagating-along-the-reverse-path-of-I-PMSI. Dfh4> In my document, it also considered the compatibility of inter-AS segmentation scenarios, with no modification of the regular MVPN procedure for inter-AS segmentation propagating. 3. Just that each egress PE generates distinct values for different ingress PEs is not enough. Say egress PE3 generate 100/200 for ingress PE1/2 respectively, but egress PE4 generates 200/300 for ingress PE1/2 respectively, then PE3’s c-multicast route for PE2 and PE4’s c-multicast route for PE1 would get mixed up. Dfh4> What I meant in my document is that each Leaf PE use a same well-known (or configured) hash algorithm to transform the IPv6 root IP to 4-bytes distinct value for each ingress PE, or a provisioning method is used to globally assign different 4-bytes IDs for each ingress PE’s IPv6 address. I’ll detail this in later version. While the third issue can be easily solved, once the distinct value is generated, it does not need to go into the “source-as” field. It can simply be put into the RD field. The RD field is really just an opaque field when propagating-along-the-reverse-path-of-I-PMSI is not used. When consider all the factors, here are my observations: a. We could really move away from propagating-along-the-reverse-path-of-I-PMSI and just rely on rt-constrain. That will work for “non-segmented tunnels in IPv6” as well. b. Regardless whether propagating-along-the-reverse-path-of-I-PMSI is used, it is best to tie the RD to the ingress PEs if you need to target redundant c-multicast routes to different ingress PEs. There are ways to do that even for GTM. Thanks.

[External Email. Be cautious of content] Hi Jeffrey, In the draft I published, we focus on the problems and solutions of MVPN in IPv6-only infrastructure and dual-stack infrastructure. Although the "source-as" field length problem overlaps with the one mentioned in your draft, I think it does not prevent moving our draft forward. 1． In our draft, we introduce a solution to do precise control of C-multicast routes propagation between ASBRs, not a less optimal one (In your draft, it is mentioned that the solution for this problem is less optimal) than regular solution in RFC6514. Zzh> It mentioned “less optimal” only in the context of not using RT Constrain (RFC 4684). If RFC 4684 procedure is used, then there is no issue at all. Dfh> Yes, if RT Constrain (RFC 4684) is used, both solutions can reach the same level of propagation control. Zzh> The procedure of propagating C-multicast routes in the reverse path of I-PMSI routes is complicated. We can get away with not using it at all. Dfh> In some real deployment, operators may not select RT Constrain as a mandatory option. In that case, a precise control is needed. 2． To configure distinct RDs for each ingress PEs, it is not applicable for some real deployment scenario because of some provision reason. It does exist this problem even in IPv4 infrastructure and become more critical in IPv6 infrastructure because of above "source-as" field length problem. Our solution does not try to solve all the problems of ADD-PATH, but it is effective for most scenarios when the ingress PEs carries the same RD. Zzh> Is it that 0:0 RD issue is independent of IPv6 and “source-as” field length issue, and the latter already has a (better, simpler and more general) solution? Dfh> The issue for 0:0 RD or two ingress PE with a same RD is not a specific problem for IPv6 infrastructure, it seems more crucial than IPv4 together with the issue of “source-as” field length. I’m writing a better solution (without enabling ADD-PATH on RRs or carrying different RDs in UMH routes) to update another draft “https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-wang-bess-mvpn-upstream-df-selection-00.txt<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-wang-bess-mvpn-upstream-df-selection-00.txt__;!!NEt6yMaO-gk!E0cAwbF2FJZ4JBNFtUmdWW8losqIPKA6JoEjREF7yrPtn6CnEcKs788GchHxAQy4znjVDKqH3VvwxKqP5WBFjAsTT6ZM7LJg$>”, which a new version will be published before IETF 114. zzh> BTW, I think you missed mentioning that now the C-multicast routes need carry an “IPv6 VRF Route Import Extended Community” that is copied from the UMH route, in addition to RTs (one of which matches but is not the same as the “IPv6 VRF Route Import Extended Community”). Dfh> I think only one “IPv6 VRF Route Import Extended Community” is needed. In our solution, Leaf PEs sent distinct C-multicast routes for each ingress PE, each C-multicast route carried a “IPv6 VRF Route Import Extended Community” copied from the UMH route sent by the corresponding ingress PE. This procedure is using what described in RFC 6515 & RFC 6514, so we did not emphasize it. Zzh2> C-multicast routes don’t just copy “VRF Route Import Extended Community” from the UH route. It uses that to construct a RT Extended Community �C the two are different. Dfh2> What I was saying is that the main part of the RT Extended Community is constructed from VRF Route Import Extended Community. Zzh2> More importantly, there is just no advantage of using the flawed/complicated procedure (of following reverse path of I-PMSI or (*,*) S-PMSI route), when the RT-constrain based propagation works well (and that should be widely deployed). Dfh2> In your sentence of ‘that should be widely deployed’, I think you were making a mistake to use the key word ‘SHOULD’ which should be instead of the key word ‘MUST’. In your considerations, ingress PEs also ‘MUST’ be configured with a distinct RDs and the propagation procedures of C-multicast routes in RFC 6514 also ‘MUST’ be obsoleted, otherwise the RT-constrained procedure also cannot work. Zzh3> By “that should be widely deployed” I meant to state an opinion that RT-constrain based VPN-IP (not C-multicast) route propagation is now already widely deployed (so using it for C-multicast route propagation is natural and simple). Zzh3> RFC6514 itself actually does depend on that all PEs use different RDs (even for the same VPN). That is what I learned from Eric Rosen some time after getting into BGP-MVPN. Configuration different RDs is also a common practice even for unicast. Zzh3> If they don’t use different RDs, then Single Forward Selection won’t work reliably (even for true VPN vs. GTM) as explained in the GTM RFC. Even for the other way of determining upstream PE (based on unicast route), you may not get desired result because an egress PE may not get the UMH route advertised by the ingress PE closest to it (a RR in the path may re-reflect a route from an ingress PE further away from this egress PE). Dfh3> So, This is the reason why I consider two ingress PE with a same RD is a different scenarios, especially in some real deployment cases, same RD may be needed and important… Our solution is aiming at those cases and helps providing a reliable Single Forward Selection. Zzh3> With RT-constrain procedure, because the C-multicast route contains a RT for the ingress PE, no matter what the ASBRs do, the route will be propagated to the ingress PE because of the RT-constrain procedure. Even if “obsoleting” is needed (to go with the rt-constrain approach), it is easier/better to obsolete the propagating-along-reverse-path-of-I-PMSI procedure that is flawed and complicated instead of patching it up. Dfh3> I think you were making a mistake, RT-constrain is an extra procedure and cannot run without obsoleting the propagating-along-reverse-path-of-I-PMSI procedure. So, I think the solution you considered is with too many limitation, only applicable in some specific cases with distinct RDs of <MVPN,PE> tuple and with obsoleting the propagating-along-reverse-path-of-I-PMSI procedure in regular MVPN, and may leave the complication/limitation to deployment. Dfh2> It seems that our discussion returns to the first step, which you insisted that the RDs of ingress PEs are always different while I considered the scenarios of real deployments with a same RD and proposed a more flexible solution for these cases. So, I think we can reach a conclusion that scenarios of what we discussed are different. Zzh3> Please see above, and https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-zzhang-bess-mvpn-evpn-cmcast-enhancements-01#section-1.2.2<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-zzhang-bess-mvpn-evpn-cmcast-enhancements-01*section-1.2.2__;Iw!!NEt6yMaO-gk!DnFIzEL2EAnQWk8qFCKO124ZBhg79kDevkNtZBMumkf5b2Q8Kw9jeuX6Ihfs7r50luNdOsg31qgxIrsADKu3Krhz_gyARWcj$>, https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-zzhang-bess-mvpn-evpn-cmcast-enhancements-01#section-1.2.1<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-zzhang-bess-mvpn-evpn-cmcast-enhancements-01*section-1.2.1__;Iw!!NEt6yMaO-gk!DnFIzEL2EAnQWk8qFCKO124ZBhg79kDevkNtZBMumkf5b2Q8Kw9jeuX6Ihfs7r50luNdOsg31qgxIrsADKu3Krhz_ltaW5L8$>. Dfh2> Anymore, I think that to limit the configuration or deployment is not always a good principle for protocol design, which may leave the complication to operators. Zzh3> I would consider the existing propagating-along-reverse-path-of-I-PMSI procedure is not a good protocol design (at least for the non-segmented tunnel case) because it is complicated and not needed. Dfh3> I cannot agree with you. Propagating-along-reverse-path-of-I-PMSI procedure is a propagating control of MVPN itself and do not rely on any other protocol / SAFI. Dfh3> Fanghong. Zzh3> Jeffrey 3. In addition, we also mentioned the IPv4 to IPv6 migration problems, and listed some suggestions to control the explosion of MVPN route’s PATHs. Zzh> Is this an information/BCP kind of document? Dfh> In this document, it redefined the ‘source-as’ field to ‘root-distinguisher’ filed, introduced a new procedure to deal with the new field, and addressed the IPv4 to IPv6 migration problems, so it is a protocol specification and with a intended status of ‘Standards Track’. Zzh2> I was referring to the optimization of route propagation on the dual sessions, not referring to redefining root-distinguisher field. Dfh2> Both of the procedure are with a intended status of ‘Standards Track’. Zzh> BTW, is it ok to for a RR to just reflect routes received on v4 sessions to other v4 sessions, and reflect routes received on v6 sessions to other v6 sessions? Dfh> In the IPv4 to IPv6 migration scenario, IPv4 BGP sessions and IPv6 BGP sessions are parallel everywhere and a BGP speaker can detect whether the two type of BGP sessions are parallel or not, so when a PE originated / received a MVPN route and decide to send it to neighbors, it is reasonable to determine which address type of BGP sessions to be sent to by using the infrastructure address type of the sending MVPN route, this solution can help control / reduce the explosion of MVPN route’s PATHs. Zzh2> I was asking that if a RR “just reflect routes received on v4 sessions to other v4 sessions, and reflect routes received on v6 sessions to other v6 sessions”, would that solve the problem? Is it that during incremental update there could be single-session situations? Dfh2> Yes, I think it will works well. Without the proposed procedure, the number of PATHs of MVPN routes will be doubled by each RR because of the parallel BGP sessions between the RR and other devices. Dfh2> As I explained before, the single-session situations can be detected and without using the proposed procedure. Dfh2> Thanks. Dfh2> Fanghong. Zzh2> Thanks. Zzh2> Jeffrey Zzh> Jeffrey Thanks.

Hi Fanghong, My understanding of the main problem that is pointed out in your draft is that the “source-as” field cannot hold an IPv6 address that is required for non-segmented tunnels in case of IPv6 infrastructure. The draft I referred to also pointed out that problem, and gave a solution (that also has other benefits) that obsoletes the requirement of encoding that IPv6 address. That’s why I think the (main) problem in your draft is already (better) addressed. Upon further reading of your draft, I realized you also talked about another problem: In [RFC7716<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc7716__;!!NEt6yMaO-gk!CRxUJ5O7pnF1DFfZilrqRplvWUQ4cTP-OWfCGpmEJ_Ra41xbWykb_9Wk5Ccw98vCC_KCVJqqZea37vSGBHoG1qLOkPgHB1MG$>], zero RD is introduced in BGP MVPN NLRIs to enable Global Table Multicast service in provider's networks. In IPv6 infrastructure networks, Leaf PEs cannot send two distinct C-multicast route to two individual upstream root PEs for selctive forwarding, because the RD of the two roots is the same. That does not seem to be specific to IP6 though �C we have the same problem with IPv4, and that’s why RFC 7716 has “2.3.4. Why SFS Does Not Apply to GTM”. The simple solution to that problem is not using SFS, and if it is desired to target c-multicast routes to different upstream PEs (e.g. for live-live redundance), we could enhance the 7716 procedures to allow non-zero RDs even for GTM. That does not need to change the c-mcast format (as RD is supposed to be treated as opaque info). You mentioned problem with ADD-PATH. Not sure if why ADD-PATH came into the picture at all. RFC 7716 mentioned ADD-PATH but it is meant to say that even ADD-PATH would not solve the SFS problem. Thanks.
