Re: [bess] A question on using EVPN label and Alias label in load balancing

2019-02-18 Thread Rabadan, Jorge (Nokia - US/Mountain View)
Ok, let me elaborate.

A remote PE sending known unicast traffic to any PE attached to the all-active 
Ethernet Segment (non-DF or DF, it’s irrelevant here!), has to use a label that 
identifies the Broadcast Domain at the egress PE for a MAC lookup (if MAC-based 
forwarding) or a label that identifies the egress ES (MPLS-based forwarding 
model).



Either way, it may happen that the ingress aliasing hash for a flow to MAC1, 
decides to send the unicast packet to a PE, PE2 that never advertised MAC1, but 
it is attached to the same ES; hence the only label available is the A-D per 
EVI route label.

If there is a MAC/IP route _and_ an A-D per-EVI route for the same ES and 
next-hop, the label should be the same anyway in case of MAC-based forwarding, 
and even in case of MPLS-based forwarding with label per ES. I can only see 
different labels if the egress PE forwarding model was label per MAC, which I 
don’t think there is any implementation like that out there. Bottom line, I 
would use the label from the A-D per-EVI route since, there might not be MAC/IP 
route for all the next-hops in the ES.

Subject: Re: [bess] A question on using EVPN label and Alias label in load

Believe Jaikumar's question is, whether it is allowed per RFC 7432 to send 
known unicast traffic to a non-DF PE (for load balancing in all active 
multihoming scenario) using alias label when the non-DF PE has advertised a 
MAC/IP route with an EVPN label for the destination MAC. In other words, would 
sending known unicast traffic using alias label when there is a MAC/IP route 
for the destination MAC be a violation of RFC 7432 in the above scenario and is 
expected to cause any interop. issue?

Hi Jaikumar,



You need to make a distinction between Alias label and several other EVPN

encoding and their different usage/function.



As detailed in my previous email, alias label is a "hint" to the remote PE to 
load balance traffic, they are not used to do the actual traffic load balance.

Subject: Re: [bess] A question on using EVPN label and Alias label in load

Hi Jaikumar,



As per the rfc, aliasing is define as the ability of a PE to signal that it has 
reachability to an EVPN instance on a given ES even when it has learned no MAC 
addresses from that EVI/ES. It is advertised with Ethernet A-D per EVI type 1 
routes..



Aliasing improves load-balancing by allowing remote VNEs to continue to 
load-balance traffic evenly though they have only received a single MAC/IP from 
a single ingress VNE. Meaning a remote PE that receives a MAC/IP Advertisement 
route (type 2 route) with a non-reserved ESI would consider the advertised MAC 
address to be reachable via all PEs that have advertised reachability to that 
MAC address EVI/ES via the Ethernet A-D per EVI route.



In your example, it would mean that if MAC1 is only learned by PE3 from PE1, 
but because PE3 has received Ethernet A-D per EVI type 1 route with aliasing 
label from PE2, it would consider that MAC1 is also reacheable via PE2 and 
would load balance traffic destined for MAC1 to both PE1 and PE2.



For cases where the MAC1 is learnt from PE1 and PE2 by PE3, then aliasing 
should not come into play.

[Jai] Any reason why we should not use Alias label to reach any of PE1 or PE2. 
I see the only difference between EPN label and Alias label is that Mac look up 
will happen but Alias label does not expect the MAC entry to be present and so 
no MAC lookup is required

and simply forward it on the ESI port/link. Please correct me if something is 
not right.





There are some optimization done

There are some optimization done by some vendor using proxy advertisement via

Let’s say CE1 is connected to PE1 and PE2 (all-active case)

and PE1 and PE2 learn same MAC1 entry (say different destination)

PE3 will learn MAC1 from both PE1 and PE2 with their respective

EVPN label (Assume BGP ECMP is enabled). As part of load balancing,

should PE3 always use EVPN label to send the frame destined to MAC1

or can Alias label also be used? what is the need of using EVPN label?

2019-02-18 Thread Jide Akintola
Hi Jaikumar,
You need to make a distinction between Alias label and several other EVPN 
routes labels defined in the RFC7432. Kindly check that RFC for the route 
encoding and their different usage/function.
As detailed in my previous email, alias label is a "hint" to the remote PE to 
load balance traffic, they are not used to do the actual traffic load balance.


Many thanks. 
 
Cheers,

There are some optimization done by some vendor using proxy advertisement via

Thanks for confirming, that makes me very comfortable with the readability of

I'd like to request the addition of the following text (or similar, feel free 
to edit for readability and/or correctness), after which I'll be happy to 
support publication of the draft.


7.8 Support for MPLS-Encapsulated NSH Packets

[I-D.ietf-mpls-sfc-encapsulation] describes how to transport SFC packets using 
the NSH over an MPLS transport network. Signaling MPLS encapsulation of SFC 
packets using the NSH is also supported by this document by using the "BGP 
Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute Sub-TLV" with the codepoint 10 (representing 
"MPLS Label Stack") from the "BGP Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute Sub-TLVs" 
registry defined in [I-D.ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps], and also using the "SFP 
Traversal With MPLS Label Stack TLV" and the "SPI/SI Representation sub-TLV" 
with bit 0 set and bit 1 cleared.


BTW, draft-ietf-mpls-sfc-encapsulation has already been submitted to the IESG 
for publication, so adding the reference won't add any delay to this draft.

Thanks again,
Andy

So, in order to support draft-ietf-mpls-sfc-encapsulation, looking at 
draft-ietf-idr-tunnel-encaps, you would use the value 10 from the "BGP Tunnel

The subject draft was designed w/ NSH in mind.  We added an MPLS representation 
of the NSH later, which is the subject of the first draft you referenced, below.

The way the subject draft is written, the representation of the NSH  and the 
type of transport tunnel can change on a hop-by-hop basis at the discretion of 
the selected next-hop SFF.  This is through the use of the encapsulation 
attribute, which gives us a very open-ended framework in which to work.

I think the latter two drafts you referenced, below, are actually supported 
already but what needs to be written down is exactly what an SFF needs to 
advertise in the encapsulation attribute in order to support them.

I would be happy to work on this w/ anyone else who is interested.

Yours Irrespectively,

John

I need to get into more details, but the current draft is written with 
draft-ietf-mpls-sfc-04 dataplane in mind. I believe that the draft can be 
useful with other dataplanes like: draft-ietf-mpls-sfc-encapsulation and 
draft-guichard-spring-nsh-s
So
