Where exactly are large communities tied to AFIs?

So, answering your question - you'd use the same large community values
as for an IPv4 prefix that you only want to be distributed to the same
client ASNs...

The intention is not to instanciate magic handling of such in the receiving
routers - it's to permit an informed choice by the receiving operator
(like, "do not force your usual local-policy settings here, as it will have
negative effect").

Which effects this community has - or not - is up to the receiving network.

These are two points, though related... and we're running into this

This is a bit of "my network, my rules" thing - this is all very strongly
recommended, so SHOULD, but there might be good reason why a particular
recommendation can not be followed ("something mumble mumble vendor 
mumble mumble not working").

Having been bitten by a vendor that honours GSHUT on iBGP (and lowers
local-pref to 0), which causes persistent loops when other vendors in
the same iBGP mesh do not do this, indeed, a few words on "SHOULD not mess
with priorities on iBGP" would be good - though less an "BGP security"
topic, more a "robust operations" thing. 

No time yet to read through all the rest.

Support adoption.

I find this a useful feature, being able to look at a prefix and see
if the originating AS intended this to be anycast or not, and a standard
community makes this easier than having to look up per-AS documentation.

(Our routing policy is simple enough that I might not actually have our
routers *act* on it, but it's still useful when looking at BGP announcements
when troubleshooting)

Nick might remember where the push came from that made "RIPE" (the

It totally wrecked my nice AS3.3 into an ugly large number, but there

I'm far from understanding all the potential implications, but for the
usage scenario "I want to use RPKI to build IRR-like filters towards
my customers' BGP sessions" this seems to provide me the tools.

As in:

  - query customer policy object for as-cone
  - (recursively) gather ASes from as-cone object(s)
  - query AS policy objects to see whether the announcement is supposed
to travel towards $customer->$me at all
  - build filter that is much more precise than "grab AS-Set from IRRDB
which can contain anything"

(yes, the AS-Cone can also "contain anything", so it needs to go hand in 
hand with the policy object to be more useful than the AS-Set RPSL object)

This assumes that this is a LAG of which only *some* of the ports would
be affected by a planned maintenance, right?

Like, customer has 4x 10GE, and you reboot one of the switches that 
has 2 of these, so 20 GE remain and the customer traffic could just use
these, with reduced bandwidth.


So, if my reading of the scenario is right, your proposal makes sense -
let customers decide what minimum bandwidth they need, and if the "4x 10GE"
customer says "less than 30GE is not useful for me!", cull his sessions
as well, even if he could go on.

thanks for bringing this up,

Not sure about that.  IXP participants know where the route is coming
from, and why should it be of anyone else's concern whether I have a
direct peering with you, or use a RS for it?

> Gert, do you think it would affect your operations if the route server

Yes.  BGP works by comparing AS path lengths, you know :-) - and that
would cause significant work as direct peerings would automatically
have shorter AS paths than via-route-server peerings.

Thus, traffic shift, which needs to compensated - like, by adding 
extra prepends to direct peerings - which would have consequences for
the AS path lenghts seen by our customers.

In other words: we asked for AS-Path transparent RSes 15 years ago, and 
this is still what we want today.

To emphasize some aspect of this for the non-operators on this list: the
technical bits of this are manageable.  Talking to 500 other ISPs that
are not responding to e-mail, do not have anyone in the same time zone,
generally lack understanding of BGP, etc. - this is what really costs,
and where a well-maintained route server really shines.

(And then, there's "poor BGP implementations that just do not scale
properly with 600+ peers on the same router"...  like, "most of them")

If there were only 10 other ISPs at the IXPs we connect to, we could
do without route servers :-)

Economies of scale.  DECIX has over 600 active participants, and I have
little interest in talking to about 550 of them - but my routers would
appreciate having direct routes to the networks behind them.

So, route servers are a very (very!) welcome feature.

Which is an implementation detail, really.

If I configure 100 neighbours and one BMP exporter to be in "the same
peer-group" (with the same export policy), I expect them to see the same 
prefixes, in general - except for those that are down, slow, and what
other per-peer things might happen that shoves one of them into a different
update groups.

If they have different export policies, I might want one "BMP exporter" per
export policy - or inheritance group, or neighbour-group, or whatever.

("100" is not an arbitrarily high number, it might actually be low, when
talking about peers at major IXPs, that - with a few exceptions - all 
have the same export policy today, namely "our customer cone, except if
the no-export-to-IXP community is set, prepend if prepend-to-IXP community
is set")

The use case I have is "I want to see how routes from customer  end
up being sent to DECIX" - which technically is a peer-group with 100+
peers in.

Monitoring a given peer is not really useful here (that peer could be 
down) - monitoring *all* peers will give way more data than I want (I can
collapse it again afterwards, but why eat up CPU etc. for no benefit).

So "peer group" is exactly matching my use case.

"per peer group" would actually match our use-case for rib-out much
better than "per individual peer".  So, support for that idea.

On the actual implementation, I abstain, as I haven't read up on the
technical details enough to make a qualified comment.

In a topology "Upstream1<->customer<->Upstream2" the filtering, aka 
the "turning on of the new feature" needs to happen at both upstreams -
both need to send the new attribute downstream, and filter prefixes 
coming in from their customer with the new attribute.

If either upstream doesn't turn this on on their session to "cutomer", 
the mechanism will not work (and you can't make it default, as it
would break upstream/peering sessions).

Please explain to me how this is going to work if "lazy upstream ISP" 
keeps being lazy, and does nothing.

It does not really matter if this is a well-known community or a new
transitive attribute.

If ISPs do not turn this *on* on their customer connections, it will not
do anything - and given that those ISPs that *need* to turn this on are
the ones that are not caring today, I'm still not seeing why they would
turn this on tomorrow.

So you're adding implementation complexity which will not help anything.

I'm not sure it will do any good.

Those ISPs that care about the garbage their customers try to inject
already do prefix/as-path filtering.

Those ISPs that do not care today will not add bother to add a filter on
this well-known community value (... and most likely, the customer
router sending out unfiltered garbage won't have "send-community"

You're taking this out of context.  We disagreed to having a fixed format
and fixed rules what to do with large communities.

Nobody objected to having a set of well-known communities for a well-known
purpose (as can be seen by the consensus on 7999).  But this is not what
was discussed in large community context.

Indeed, for a direct ISP-ISP link, and the maintenance being controlled
by one of the peering parties, gshut would be a useful approach (if
it's known that the other party has deployed it).

Since the title of the draft is "session-culling" it feels somewhat
out of scope to go more into detail on gshut, but a reference might
be useful.

Right.  Speaking for ourselves: until not so long ago, our routers
were just not capable of sustaining 100+ BFD sessions with usefully
short timers - we now have better peering boxes, so maybe it's time
to start talking to peers and spread the word.

That's the other part - knowledge of the peer operators at a typical
IXP is reaching new all-time lows every year, so having something that
will do the right thing on the fabric operators's side is much less work
than negotiating anything exceeding basic BGP setup with 100+ peers...

I like the concept.

Wording-wise, there is room for misunderstanding in the current version,
2.2.1:


2.2.1.  Packet Filter Considerations

   The packet filter should be designed and specified in a way that:

   o  only affect link-local BGP traffic i.e. forming part of the
  control plane of the system described, rather than multihop BGP
  which merely transits


it says "link-local", but what it wants is not "fe80::" but "the prefixes
the intermediate network uses for on-link peering" (plus, maybe, fe80::).

So maybe "only affect *on-link* BGP traffic"?

This, actually, is not "the usual uRPF check".

Having implementations that could tack arbitrary "RPF lists" to an 
interface would be very nice, but this is more like "auto-generate ACLs
based on prefix info" than "RPF" which stands for "reverse path filter"
(not sure about the "filter" bit, though)

This is nice to have, and having a recommendation document that
shows operators "look, these are what people *typically* have been
doing with communities, and *that* is how to set the community
values to achieve things" would be a great help when building a new
policy framework.

Having this hard-coded in RFCs and code in routers is both far too 
complex to implement, and far too limited at the same time (what if
I only want "North Chile" but that isn't in the implementation?) - 
which is why I'm opting for the most simple approach: an opaque string
of bytes of a fixed length, displayed in 4:4:4 format, and all the
"what do I want to do with these?" flexibility and complexity goes
into the routing policy specified by the operator in their router
config.

We (AS5539) use about ~20 community values under 5539: today, and
we do not see any need for much more complex policies (we're a fairly
leafish AS and only limited regional coverage) - so, I see no need to
ask my vendors for a wide list of automatic and all-encompassing features
in their automatic community / policy handling.  I want something they
can implement easily, and give me a if/match/set language to achieve
my policy, in a way that it works with 32bit ASes.

OTOH, my upstreams (2914) use a very complex and strongly regionalized 
framework ("blackhole outside the country that this route was 
received in"), and they seem to be happy with 4:4:4 as well and
not having "everything built-in and applied automatically", so the
-large draft seems to work for make small and large network operators
alike.

Well, the example was not ideal.  The action would have to be part of
the 3rd field, so the match would be more along the lines of 

  if ( community in ( MYAS:PEERAS:1000([1-9]) ) ) then
  set as-path prepend MYAS times $1

  if ( community in ( MYAS:PEERAS:20([0-9][0-9][0-9]) ) ) then

This is what I've heard how people consider to use this, yes.

Well, since MYAS and PEERAS are the same for a given combination of 
"my AS" and "my peer AS", bits from the (vast!) 32 bit number space
in field 3 would be needed.

But the point is: this can be *signalled* using 32:32:32 just fine,
and how easy it is to make policy statements out of this is a matter of
flexibility of the vendors's route policy language.

Seconded.  Flapping sessions due to no policy configured is counterintuitive.

I could see "sessions will not be established until a policy is configured"
(so it would never come up, and when queried the router would tell 
something akin to "PfxCt" to clearly display why it's refusing to bring
up the session...) - but it shouldn't flap.  That will cause operational
people to go debug in all the wrong places.

"Neither send nor receive prefixes" or "not bring up the session at all"
are workable alternatives from an operational PoV.

While the general recommendation is valid, I'm not seeing why it is
particularily relevant to this draft - whether or not a neighbouring
BGP session is using a well-defined or privately-agreed code point to
signal BGP black holing makes no difference wrt to attacking the local
TCP session...  (assuming that the "privately-agreed" code point is
in fact publicly documented in an IRRdb, which they usually are).

Adding a general reference to BGP security best practices won't hurt,
of course - 7454 comes to mind (which among others recommends GTSM).

source-based blackholing in remote networks is something I do not consider

source of information to customer B, so you can permit customer A to 
drop packets *to A*, but not "from X, no matter if destined to A or B"
(in some case the network provider might decide "I drop all traffic from
X, because it's causing problems to my infrastructure", but even then,
his upstreams will not permit to do this transitively)

I do not think the draft needs to be extended to say so - we only
define a code point, not define a new mechanism for blackholing.

This is what DECIX is doing: a special next-hop IP which ARPs to a special
MAC address which is MAC-ACL-filtered at all ingress ports to the fabric -
so the nice effect is "fabric not full" (plus "participant interface not
full").

Well, the intention *is* that "if the IXP supports black-holing, please do".

In implementations like DECIX', the neighbouring IXP participant does not
have to do anything in particular, except "accept the prefix with the
black-hole nexthop".


Maybe more along the lines of

  This well-known advisory transitive BGP
community, namely BLACKHOLE, allows an origin AS to specify that a
neighboring IP network or IXP that has appropriate mechanisms in place
is requested to blackhole a specific IP prefix.

BCPs for operators exist (RFC7454 for a start).  

Implementations need to change, to "fail safe" - if not configured to do
so, neither accept nor send BGP prefixes on eBGP sessions.

If this is what it takes, updating 4271 sounds like a plan.

There is one item I don't understand here:

   o  Software MUST provide protection from internal failures preventing
  the advertisement and acceptance of routes

what does that mean (in other words "more verbose explanation, please")?

(All the rest is obviously the right way forward, so "support!" and "BCP!")

 1y is an interesting data point, but shouldn't form the basis for a new

has a breakdown last year and last 5 years of LIR exact, LIR 
more-specific, non-LIR (=PI), non-LIR more-specifics - look for
the heading Routing Table by Class of Prefix.

The LIR exact curve is fairly linear, while the more specific curve
is growing stronger than linear.  No predictions here, though.

  A strong message to that extent would be good :-) - coupled with

  could be solved.
 
 ok, perhaps iljitsch can drop some text into a document so we can get
 a good read going and decide whether or not GROW wants to spend cycles
 on it?

That would be nice (as I see the problem but have no cycles to write
something useful).

 The problem exists in v4 and v6 and likely will persist in whatever
 comes next. It's directly related to routing operations work on the
 global intertubes, so it SEEMS like GROW is the 'right place' to
 discuss this... we can't go anywhere without text and a draft though.

It seems to be made worse by the fact that this can be done more
easily with IPv6, as you just can't get enough v4 space to subdivide
it into 5000 globally visible prefixes today - and those entities that
discover the must have reliability!  must have independence! mantra
*now* will hit the v6 space...  (given that I see this argument in this
dimension more often from governmental structures who have been hiding
behind single-IPv4-NAT so far).

  I get that question fairly often from largish networks, and so far,
  I always have to answer there is no routing police, so it's hard to
  say what is allowed on the Internet and what not - which is a humorous
  way to say there is no consensus here what consists 'good' and
  'responsible'...
 
 I sort of don't want there to be 'routing police' though :( In a way
 this whole debate sounds like something a 'cisco training class' (or
 other example) would have covered, or should cover. I suppose it's
 fairly experiential at this point though.

I *do* want a routing police, in the sense that the operator community
agrees on what is considered good and bad behaviour, so end users
can ask someone (me, Iljitsch, ...) what to do in their network planning,
and we can tell them

  - if you do *this*, it's guaranteed to work
  - if you do *that*, you can be sure that you will be filtered

while today, I have to tell them

  - well, today it is likely to work, but it might stop working tomorrow,
and there is no document that you could show around to those that
break your connectivity to show them that you are doing the right thing

ISPs develop their own guidelines on prefix-length filtering, some with
better understanding on what they want to achieve, others by using 10 year
old example documents for never-updated filters...

So, yes, guidance, please :-)
