Eastlake, et al [Page 2] INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL: Fine-Grained Labeling 1. Introduction The IETF has standardized the TRILL (TRansparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) protocol [RFC6325]. TRILL switches provide a solution for least cost transparent routing in multi-hop networks with arbitrary topologies and link technologies, using [IS-IS] [RFC6165] [RFC6326bis] link-state routing and encapsulation with a hop count. They address the problems outlined in [RFC5556]. TRILL switches are sometimes called RBridges (Routing Bridges). The TRILL base protocol standard supports labeling of TRILL data with up to 4K IDs. However, there are applications that require more fine- grained labeling of data for configurable isolation based on different tenants, service instances, or the like. This document updates [RFC6325] and [RFC6327] by specifying extensions to the TRILL base protocol to safely accomplish this. Familiarity with [RFC6325] and [RFC6326bis] is assumed in this document. 1.1 Terminology The terminology and acronyms of [RFC6325] are used in this document with the additions listed below. DEI - Drop Eligibility Indicator [802.1Q] FGL - Fine-Grained Labeling or Fine-Grained Labeled or Fine- Grained Label FGL RBridge - A TRILL switch that support both FGL and VL Edge RBridge - A TRILL switch announcing VL or FGL connectivity in its LSP TRILL Switch - Alternative name for an RBridge VL - VLAN Labeling or VLAN Labeled or VLAN Label VL RBridge - A TRILL switch that supports VL but does not support FGL 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]. D. Eastlake, et al [Page 3] INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL: Fine-Grained Labeling 1.2 Contributors Thanks for the contributions of the following: Tissa Senevirathne D. Eastlake, et al [Page 4] INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL: Fine-Grained Labeling 2. Fine-Grained Labeling The essence of Fine-Grained Labeling (FGL) is that (a) when TRILL Data frames are ingressed or created they may incorporate a label from a set consisting of significantly more than 4K labels, (b) TRILL switch (RBridge) ports can be labeled with a set of such labels, and (c) an FGL TRILL Data frame cannot be egressed through an RBridge port unless its fine-grained label (FGL) matches one of the labels of the port. Section 2.1 lists FGL goals. Section 2.2 briefly outlines the more coarse TRILL base protocol standard [RFC6325] data labeling. And Section 2.3 outlines a method of FGL of TRILL Data frames. 2.1 Goals There are several goals that should be met by FGL in TRILL. They are briefly described in the list below in approximate order by priority with the most important first. 1. Fine-Grained Some networks have a large number of entities that need configurable isolation, whether those entities are independent customers, applications, or branches of a single endeavor or some combination of these or other entities. The labeling supported by [RFC6325] provides for only ( 2**12 - 2 ) valid identifiers or labels. A substantially larger number is required. 2. Silicon Considerations Fine-grained labeling (FGL) should, to the extent practical, use existing features, processing, and fields that are already supported in at least some fast path silicon implementations that currently support the TRILL base protocol. 3. Base RBridge Compatibility To support some incremental conversion scenarios, it is desirable that not all RBridges in a campus using FGL be required to be FGL aware. That is, it is desirable that RBridges not implementing the FGL feature and performing at least the transit forwarding function can usefully process TRILL Data frames that incorporate FGL. D. Eastlake, et al [Page 5] INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL: Fine-Grained Labeling 4. Alternate Priority It would be desirable for an ingress TRILL Switch to be able to assign a different priority to an FGL TRILL Data frame for its ingress-to-egress propagation from the priority of the original native frame. The original priority should be restored on egress. 2.2 Base Protocol TRILL Data Labeling This section provides a brief review of the [RFC6325] TRILL Data frame internal VL Labeling and changes the description of the TRILL Header by moving its end point. This description change does not involve any change in the bits on the wire or in the behavior of existing [RFC6325] RBridges. Currently TRILL Data frames have the VL structure shown below: +-------------------------------------------+ | Link Header (depends on link technology) | | (if link is an Ethernet link the link | | header may include an Outer.VLAN tag) | +-------------------------------------------+ | TRILL Header | | +---------------------------------------+ | | | Initial Fields and Options | | | +---------------------------------------+ | | | Inner.MacDA | (6 bytes) | | +-----------------------------+ | | | Inner.MacSA | (6 bytes) | | +-----------------------+-----+ | | | Ethertype 0x8100 | (2 bytes) | | +-----------------------+ | | | Inner.VLAN Label | (2 bytes) | | +-----------------------+ | +-------------------------------------------+ | Native Payload | +-------------------------------------------+ | Link Trailer (depends on link technology) | +-------------------------------------------+ Figure 1. TRILL Data with VL In the base protocol as specified in [RFC6325] the 0x8100 value is always present and is followed by the Inner.VLAN field which includes the 12-bit VL. D. Eastlake, et al [Page 6] INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL: Fine-Grained Labeling 2.3 Fine-Grained Labeling (FGL) FGL expands the data label available under the TRILL base protocol standard to a fine-grained label (FGL) with a 12-bit high order part and a 12-bit low order part. In this document, FGLs are usually denoted as "(X.Y)" where X is the high order part and Y is the low order part of the FGL. The FGL information appears in the TRILL Header as shown below. +-------------------------------------------+ | Link Header (depends on link technology) | | (if link is an Ethernet link the link | | header may include an Outer.VLAN tag) | +-------------------------------------------+ | TRILL Header | | +---------------------------------------+ | | | Initial Fields and Options | | | +---------------------------------------+ | | | Inner.MacDA | (6 bytes) | | +-----------------------------+ | | | Inner.MacSA | (6 bytes) | | +-----------------------+-----+ | | | Ethertype 0x893B | (2 bytes) | | +-----------------------+ | | | Inner.Label High Part | (2 bytes) | | +-----------------------+ | | | Ethertype 0x893B | (2 bytes) | | +-----------------------+ | | | Inner.Label Low Part | (2 bytes) | | +-----------------------+ | +-------------------------------------------+ | Native Payload | +-------------------------------------------+ | Link Trailer (depends on link technology) | +-------------------------------------------+ Figure 2. TRILL Data with FGL For FGL frames, the inner MAC address fields are followed by the FGL information using 0x893B. The two bytes following each 0x893B have, in their low order 12 bits, fine-grained label information. The upper 4 bits of those two bytes are used for a 3-bit priority field and one drop eligibility indicator (DEI) bit. The priority field of the Inner.Label High Part is the priority used for frame transport across the TRILL campus from ingress to egress. The label bits in the Inner.Label High Part are the high order part of the FGL and those bits in the Inner.Label Low Part are the low D. Eastlake, et al [Page 7] INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL: Fine-Grained Labeling order part of the FGL. The appropriate FGL value for an ingressed native frame is determined by the ingress RBridge port as specified in Section 5.1. Ports of TRILL switches supporting FGL also have capabilities to transmit frames being forwarded or egressed as untagged or VL as specified in Section 5.3. D. Eastlake, et al [Page 8] INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL: Fine-Grained Labeling 3. Campus Wide VL versus FGL Semantic Differences There are differences between the semantics across a TRILL campus for VL and FGL labeled TRILL Data frames. With VL, data label IDs have the same meaning throughout the campus and are from the same label space as the VLAN IDs used on Ethernet links to end stations. With TRILL FGL, many things remain the same. Ports of FGL TRILL switches, up through the usual VLAN and priority processing, act as they do for VL TRILL switches: Ethernet links between FGL TRILL switches still have only C-VLAN tagging on them and TRILL switch ports provide a VLAN ID for an incoming frame and accepts a VLAN ID for a frame being queued for output. Appointed Forwarders [RFC6439] on a link are still appointed for a C-VLAN. The Designated VLAN for an Ethernet link is still a C-VLAN. The larger FGL space is a different space from the VL data label space. For ports configured for FGL, the C-VLAN on an ingressed native frame is mapped to the FGL data label space with a potentially different mapping for each port. A similar FGL to C-VLAN mapping occurs per port on egress. Thus, for ports configured for FGL, the native frame C-VLAN on one link corresponding to an FGL can be different from the native frame C-VLAN corresponding to that same FGL on a different link elsewhere in the campus or even a different link attached to the same RBridge. The FGL label space is flat and does not hierarchically encode any particular number of native frame C- VLAN bits or the like. FGLs in TRILL Data frames appear only inside the TRILL Header after the inner MAC addresses. They are only seen by TRILL aware devices. FGL RBridge ports can be configured for FGL or VL with VL being the default. As with a base protocol [RFC6325] RBridge, an unconfigured FGL TRILL switch port reports an untagged frame it receives as being in VLAN 1. D. Eastlake, et al [Page 9] INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL: Fine-Grained Labeling 4. Interaction with VL TRILL Switches It is not possible for VL TRILL switches to handle FGL frames even if the VL TRILL switch is only acting in the transit capacity. This is because VL frames are required to have 0x8100 at the beginning of the data label where FGL TRILL switches have 0x893B. VL-only TRILL switches conformant to [RFC6325] should discard frames with this new value after the inner MAC addresses and, if they do not discard such frames, they will be confused (see Section 9 below). If there are FGL TRILL switches in a campus, it is assumed that the intent is for all TRILL switches in that campus to support FGL. Any VL TRILL switches present are isolated by FGL TRILL switches as follows: FGL RBridges will report their FGL capability in LSPs. Thus FGL TRILL switches (and any management system with access to the link state database) will be able to detect the existence of TRILL switches in the campus that do not support FGL. If any such VL TRILL switches are present on a link then, although all other aspects of the adjacency machinery work as normal [RFC6327], any FGL TRILL switches on the link will not create a pseudo node for the link if they are DRB and do not announce any adjacencies they have on the link. As a result, although adjacencies between two or more VL RBridge ports on the link could become part of the campus topology and pass TRILL Data frames, no adjacency from an FGL RBridge port to a VL RBridge port or to a pseudonode will be reported for such a mixed FGL/VL link. Since an adjacency must be reported up by both ends before it becomes part of the campus topology, even though adjacencies to an FGL RBridge might be reported by a VL RBridge, no TRILL Data can flow between an FGL RBridge port and a VL RBridge port. The usual DRB election operates on a link with mixed FLG and VL ports. If an FGL RBridge port is DRB, it MUST handle all native traffic or appoint only other FGL ports as forwarder for one or more VLANs, so that all end stations will get service to the FGL campus. If a VL RBridge port is DRB, it will not understand that FGL RBridge ports are different. To the extent that a VL DRB handles native frames or appoints other VL ports on a link to handle native frames for one or more VLANs, the end stations sending and receiving those native frames will be isolated from the FGL campus. To the extent that a VL DRB happens to appoint an FGL port as Appointed Forwarder for one or more VLANs, the end stations sending and receiving native frames in those VLANs will get service to the FGL campus. This somewhat odd corner case behavior is considered acceptable because it is assumed that VL TRILL switches in an FGL campus are infrequent misconfigurations. For links configured as point-to-point, if the TRILL switches at each end are both VL or both FGL, a bi-directional adjacency can be formed by the usual mechanisms. If one is VL and one is FGL but the point- D. Eastlake, et al [Page 10] INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL: Fine-Grained Labeling to-point link is otherwise correctly configured, the VL TRILL switch will report an adjacency but the LFG one will not. As a result, the link will not become part of the topology and TRILL Data cannot flow over the link, isolating the VL TRILL switch. D. Eastlake, et al [Page 11] INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL: Fine-Grained Labeling 5. Fine-Grained Labeling Details This section specifies ingress, transit, egress, and other processing of TRILL Data frames with regard to FGLs. A transit or egress FGL TRILL switch determines that a TRILL Data frame is FGL by detecting that the inner MAC address fields are followed by 0x893B. 5.1 Ingress Processing An FGL RBridge MAY be configured, on one or more ports, to ingress native frames as FGL. Any ports not so configured that accepts a native frame perform the previously specified VL ingress processing on native frames [RFC6325]. There is no change in Appointed Forwarder logic (see Section 5.4). FGL TRILL switches MUST support configurable per port mapping from the VL of a native frame, as reported by the ingress port, to an FGL. FGL TRILL switches MAY support other methods to determine the FGL of an incoming native frame, such as based on the protocol of the native frame or local knowledge. The FGL ingress process MUST place the priority and DEI associated with an ingressed native frame in upper 4 bits of the Inner.Label Low Order part. It SHOULD also associate a possibly different mapped priority and DEI with an ingressed frame. The mapped priority is placed in the Inner.Label High Part. If such mapping is not supported then the original priority and DEI MUST be placed in the Inner.Label High Part. An FGL ingress RBridge MAY serially TRILL unicast a multi-destination TRILL Data frame to the relevant egress TRILL switches after encapsulating it as a TRILL known unicast data frame (M=0) and SHOULD unicast such a multi-destination TRILL Data frame if there is only one relevant egress FGL RBridge. For FGL RBridges, this permits serial unicast of multi-destination frames by the ingress as an alternative to the use of a distribution tree. The relevant egress TRILL switches are determined by starting with those announcing connectivity to the frame's (X.Y) label. That set SHOULD be further filtered based on multicast listener and multicast router connectivity if the native frame was a multicast frame. 5.2 Transit Processing TRILL Data frame transit processing is fairly straightforward as described in Section 5.2.1 for known unicast TRILL Data frames and in Section 5.2.2 for multi-destination TRILL Data frames. D. Eastlake, et al [Page 12] INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL: Fine-Grained Labeling 5.2.1 Unicast Transit Processing There is very little change in TRILL Data frame unicast transit processing. A transit TRILL switch forwards any unicast TRILL Data frame to the next hop towards the egress RBridge as specified in the TRILL Header. All transit TRILL switches, whether VL or FGL, MUST take the priority and DEI used to forward a frame from the Inner.VLAN label or the FGL Inner.Label High Part. These bits are in the same place in the frame. 5.2.2 Multi-Destination Transit Processing Multi-destination TRILL Data frames are forwarded on a distribution tree selected by the ingress TRILL switch except that an FGL ingress RBridge MAY choose to TRILL unicast such a frame to all relevant egress TRILL switches. The distribution trees do not distinguish between FGL and VL multi-destination frames except, possibly, in pruning behavior. All distribution trees are calculated as provided for in the TRILL base protocol standard [RFC6325]. There is no change in the Reverse Path Forwarding Check. An FGL RBridge, say RB1, having an FGL multi-destination frame for label (X.Y) to forward on a distribution tree, SHOULD prune that tree based on whether there are any edge TRILL switches on a tree branch that are advertising connectivity to label (X.Y). In addition, RB1 SHOULD prune multicast frames based on reported multicast listener and multicast router attachment in (X.Y). Pruning is an optimization. If a transit TRILL switch does less pruning than it could, there may be greater link utilization than strictly necessary but the campus will still operate correctly. For example, a transit TRILL switch could prune based on only part of the FGL such as only the High Part or only the Low Part. 5.3 Egress Processing Egress processing is generally the reverse of ingress progressing described in Section 5.1. An FGL RBridge MUST be able to configurably convert the FGL in an FGL TRILL Data frame it is egressing to a VLAN ID for the resulting native frame on a per port basis. A port MAY be configured to strip output VLAN tagging. It is the responsibility of the network manager to properly configure the TRILL switches in the campus to obtain the desired mappings. D. Eastlake, et al [Page 13] INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL: Fine-Grained Labeling The priority and DEI of the egressed native frame are taken from the Inner.Label Low Order Part. An FGL RBridge egresses FGL frames similarly to the egressing of VL frames, as follows: 1. A known unicast FGL frame is egressed to the FGL port matching its fine-grained label and Inner.MacDA. If there is no such port, it is flooded out all FGL ports that have its FGL unless the TRILL switch has knowledge that the frame's Inner.MacDA cannot be out that port. 2. A multi-destination FGL frame is decapsulated and flooded out all ports with its FGL, subject to multicast pruning. FGL RBridges MUST accept multi-destination encapsulated frames that are sent to them as TRILL unicast frames, that is, frames that may have a multicast or broadcast Inner.MacDA (or are being sent to an unknown unicast Inner.MacDA) and the TRILL Header M bit = 0. They locally egress such frames, if appropriate, but MUST NOT forward them (other than egressing them as native frames on their local links). 5.4 Appointed Forwarders and the DRB There is no change in Adjacency [RFC6327] or Appointed Forwarder logic [RFC6439] on a link regardless of whether some or all the ports on the link are for FGL RBridges except as described in Section 4 above. 5.5 Address Learning An FGL TRILL switch learns addresses on FGL ports based on the fine- grained label rather than the native frame's VLAN. Addresses learned from ingressed native frames on FGL ports are logically represented by { MAC address, fine-grained label, port, confidence, timer } while remote addresses learned from egressing FGL frames are logically represented by { MAC address, fine-grained label, remote TRILL switch nickname, confidence, timer }. 5.6 ESADI Extensions The TRILL ESADI (End Station Address Distribution Information) protocol is specified in [RFC6325] as optionally transmitting MAC address connection information through TRILL Data frames between D. Eastlake, et al [Page 14] INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL: Fine-Grained Labeling participating TRILL switches over the virtual link provided by the TRILL multicast frame distribution mechanism. In [RFC6325], the VLAN to which an ESADI frame applies is indicated only by the Inner.VLAN label and no indication of that VLAN is allowed within the ESADI payload. ESADI is extended to support FGL by providing for the indication of the FGL to which an ESADI frame applies only in the Inner.Label of that frame and no indication of that FGL is allowed within the ESADI payload. D. Eastlake, et al [Page 15] INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL: Fine-Grained Labeling 6. IS-IS Extensions Extensions to the TRILL use of IS-IS are required to support FGL include the following: 1. An method for a TRILL switch to announce itself in its LSP as supporting FGL. 2. A sub-TLV analogous to Interested VLANs and Spanning Tree Roots sub-TLV of the Router Capabilities TLV but indicating FGLs rather than VLs (see Section 8.2). This is called the Interested Labels and Spanning Tree Roots sub-TLV in [rfc6326bis]. 3. Sub-TLVs analogous to the GMAC-ADDR sub-TLV of the Group Address TLV that specifies an FGL rather than a VL (see Section 8.2.). This are called the GLMAC-ADDR, GLIP-ADDR, and GLIP6 ADDR sub-TLVs in [rfc6326bis]. D. Eastlake, et al [Page 16] INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL: Fine-Grained Labeling 7. Comparison to Goals Comparing TRILL FGL, as specified in this document, with the goals given in Section 2.1, we find as follows: 1. Fine-Grained: FGL provides 2**24 labels, vastly more labels than the 4K VL labels provided in [RFC6325]. 2. Silicon Considerations: Existing TRILL fast path silicon chips can perform base TRILL Header insertion and removal to support ingress and egress. In addition, it is believed that most such silicon chips can also perform the native frame to FGL mapping and the encoding of the FGL as specified herein, as well as the inverse decoding and mapping. Some existing silicon can perform only one of these operations on a frame in the fast path and is thus not suitable to implement fast path TRILL FGL processing; however, other existing chips are believed to be able to perform both operations on the same frame in the fast path and are suitable for FGL implementation. 3. Base RBridge Compatibility: As described in Section 3, FGL is not compatible with TRILL switches conformant to the base specification RBridges [RFC6325]. 4. Alternate Priority: The encoding specified in Section 2.3 provides for a new priority and DEI in the Inner.Label First Part and a place to preserve the original user priority and DEI in the Second Part, so it can be restored on egress. D. Eastlake, et al [Page 17] INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL: Fine-Grained Labeling 8. Allocation Considerations Allocations by the IEEE Registration Authority and IANA are listed below. 8.1 IEEE Allocation Considerations The IEEE Registration Authority has assigned Ethertype 0x893B for use as the FGL Ethertype. 8.2 IANA Considerations IANA is requested to allocate capability bit TBD in the TRILL-VER sub-TLV capability bits [RFC6326bis] to indicate an RBridge is FGL- capable. D. Eastlake, et al [Page 18] INTERNET-DRAFT TRILL: Fine-Grained Labeling 9. Security Considerations See [RFC6325] for general RBridge Security Considerations. As with any communications system, end-to-end encryption and authentication should be considered for sensitive data. Confusion between a frame with VL X and FGL (X.Y) is a potential problem if a VL RBridge did not check for the occurrence of 0x8100 (see Sections 2.2 and 2.3) and discard such a frame. Possible problems with such a VL RBridge would be as follows: 1. If it received a TRILL Data frame with FGL (X.Y) it could egress it to an end station in VLAN-X. The payload of such an egressed frame would appear to begin with Ethertype 0x893B which would likely be discarded by an end station. Nevertheless, such an egress would almost certainly be a violation of security policy. 2. If it received a multi-destination TRILL Data frame with FGL (X.Y) and it pruned the distribution tree, it would incorrectly prune it on the basis of VLAN-X. This could lead to the multi-destination data frame not being delivered to all of its intended recipients. These two potential problems would only occur in the case of the misconfiguration of attaching such a VL RBridge to an FGL campus; however, there is protection against this in that FGL RBridges will not announce adjacency to VL RBridges (see Section 4). As a result, no TRILL data frames can be exchanged between VL and FGL RBridges and VL RBridges will be isolated for data puposes.

For the avoidance of doubt, each Contributor to the IETF Standards Process licenses each Contribution that he or she makes as part of the IETF Standards Process to the IETF Trust pursuant to the provisions of RFC 5378. No language to the contrary, or terms, conditions or rights that differ from or are inconsistent with the rights and licenses granted under RFC 5378, shall have any effect and shall be null and void, whether published or posted by such Contributor, or included with or in such Contribution.
