OSPF P. Pillay-Esnault Internet-Draft Huawei Technologies Intended status: Standards Track D. Yeung Expires: January 8, 2017 Cisco Systems B. Pithawala July 7, 2016 Service Distribution using OSPF draft-pillay-esnault-ospf-service-distribution-03 Abstract The Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol is used to carry data on behalf of other services using the Opaque Link State Advertisements. The protocol's flooding mechanism is well suited to cover the data propagation requirements of services such as Traffic Engineering. However, the current mechanism cannot scale for a large number of services nor satisfy some of their new set of requirements. This document describes a new mechanism in OSPF to support service and data distribution for a large number of services, computation of preferred service access points and a controlled service data exchange.

Introduction Originally, routing protocols were designed to propagate routing related information only. With the advent of Traffic Engineering, the IGPs started to be used as a transport mechanism. Most of the applications using IGPs as transport are still very much limited and confined to routing applications with similar requirements. Today, OSPF can carry data for applications using Opaque LSAs. These Opaque LSAs are an integral part of the OSPF database and will be Pillay-Esnault, et al. Expires January 8, 2017 [Page 2] Internet-Draft Service Distribution using OSPF July 2016 flooded, synchronized and updated just as any other LSA. However, they do not contribute directly to any routes or trigger an SPF. Opaque LSAs will need to be flooded across all the OSPF area or domain and neighbor adjacencies to FULL state will depend on successful exchange of these LSAs. The Link State IGPs are limited on the size of payload information they can carry as it will be flooded and stored in every single router all across their areas or domain regardless whether it is of interest or not. This document describes a new mechanism in OSPF to support service and data distribution for a large number of services, computation of preferred service access points and controlled distribution of service data. 2. Requirements Language 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] only when they appear in all upper case. They may also appear in lower or mixed case as English words, without any normative meaning. 3. Requirements for service data propagation Services requirements differ from the traditional routing information dissemination model. The service data may be unrelated to routing or be of interest only to some routers. The new set of requirements for using OSPF as Service Distribution Router (SDR) is as follows Scale to a large number of services No assumption regarding size, format or nature of the data No assumption regarding topology Routing and service data separated and independent Must support cases where minimal number of routers only may be upgraded Must support dynamic events Routers only store and process data of interest Pillay-Esnault, et al. Expires January 8, 2017 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Service Distribution using OSPF July 2016 Ability to compute the shortest path to a producer or consumer of a service per IGP metrics or service metrics. There is no assumptions regarding producers and consumers of services, their location or uniqueness. Secured data may reside only on some routers. In addition the routing requirements for OSPF as Service data distribution are Backward compatible with Open Standard OSPF Minimal/No impact on routing convergence and performance 4. Typical Scenario for Services Distribution Router A SDR is typically reachable by multiple consumers or producers of data. The router itself may not be connected directly to any other router with Service Distribution Capability. The intermediate routers may have limited storage capability or cannot store the data for security reasons. The SDR is aware of the topological information of the other service routers and can compute paths to the preferred Producer SDR (PSDR) or the Consumers SDR (CSDR) of a service.The SDR will implement tables of producers and consumers for services. The SDR ensures that interested subscribers to a service are notified with the latest updates. Producers or consumers can join or leave a service at any time using APIs. The SDR receiving the notification of "registration" or "de- registration" flood the change of state to all the known SDRs in its topology. Therefore, all SDR have the same view of the producers and consumers in the topology. 5. OSPF Service Distribution Router A SDR leverages OSPF's capability to store and flood the topology and other attributes of SDR capable routers. SDRs form an overlay and do not require to be directly connected to each other. SDRs do not need to maintain adjacency between them other than the normal OSPF adjacency for routing purposes. The SDRs rely on the OSPF underlying network for reachability to other SDR routers. SDRs advertise a directory of producers and consumers of services and are capable to compute preferred producers. The SDRs delegate data Pillay-Esnault, et al. Expires January 8, 2017 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Service Distribution using OSPF July 2016 exchange processing to remote SDRs to an external agent. The implementation detail of the agent is outside the scope of this document. The OSPF Opaque LSAs is used to carry relevant and interesting information for reachability and nature of SDR capable routers. In order to limit the service data dissemination costs (storage, bandwidth, security, ..), SDRs may store only limited data of interest. Pillay-Esnault, et al.

Storage Of Service Data The service data can be stored in an independent Service Data Database(SDD). There is no assumption made here on the size, format or nature of data. The data can be stored on the disk of the router and accessible by APIs to OSPF and other applications for query and Pillay-Esnault, et al. Expires January 8, 2017 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Service Distribution using OSPF July 2016 update or an external storage outside the router. A SDD is not part of OSPF and does not participate in the bringing up of adjacencies. The SDD may be accessible through APIs to outside applications such as an SDN controller. It is desirable that the service data databases have a very flexible format to cater for a broad range of applications. The service data may be secured and encrypted with authenticated access to outside applications as well. The scope of how to implement this database is outside the scope of this document. 7. Mechanics of the OSPF Service Information Distribution Implementation 7.1. Advertising and Signaling of SDR Capability The OSPF SDR router will identify itself to the rest of the domain by advertising its capability and a routable ip address. For example, this address MAY be a loopback interface configured to uniquely identify an OSPF SDR router.

A Service Identifier may only be defined in a unique sub-tlv. This TLV is applicable both to OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. PSDR ID: A 32-bit field that indicates the PSDR for data exchange. Set to 0 if there is no producer for the service. The topological view and characteristics of the OSPF Overlay Service Distribution Routers can be used to compute preferred producer independent of IGP metrics. It is possible to have multiple LSAs for large directories however a service must be described in a unique sub-tlv for the SDR. 7.4. Service Routing Capable Router Operations The additional requirements are No assumption on topology Multiple producers may exists Multiple consumers can all have different service interest Producers/Consumers may join and leave at anytime Consumers and Producers have access to the Service Data database Pillay-Esnault, et al. Expires January 8, 2017 [Page 12] Internet-Draft Service Distribution using OSPF July 2016 The SDR capable routers advertise the consumers who subscribe to a service. The producers may connect to the SDR router to update the services/data in the Service Data database. The SDR router then builds the Opaque LSA describing the producer services which are reachable through it as well as the services its consumers are interested in. When the router has a full neighbor relationship, it now has the topological view of all SDR capable routers in the domain as well as the services they offer and are interested in. Leveraging the fact that the OSPF has already run its SPF, the reachability of overlay SDR capable routers and services offered. It is possible to calculate the preferred Producer SDR for a service by using a composite of the IGP metric, the SDR metric and the service metric. The list of preferred producers for a service can then be evaluated at each SDR. The list of Consumer SDRs interested in service can also easily be computed from the directory of consumers. 7.4.1. Operation due to Producer changes The producer service operations are New producer advertises a service Existing Producer start advertising a new service Existing Producer stops advertising a service. The router will be notified by the application regarding the new producer and the services offered. The router will then either update or create an Opaque LSA to advertise this new information and flood it to all SR routers. Upon receiving this information, remote SDR routers can recalculate the preferred PSDR. It may also need to perform some operations if it has consumers for this new service. 7.4.2. Operation due to Consumer changes The consumer service operations are A new consumer join and add subscription An existing consumer stops subscriptions Pillay-Esnault, et al. Expires January 8, 2017 [Page 13] Internet-Draft Service Distribution using OSPF July 2016 An existing consumer adds subscriptions The router will be notified by the application regarding the new consumer and the services it is interested in. The router will then either update or create an Opaque LSA to advertise this new information and flood it to all SDR routers. Upon receipt of the new Opaque LSA the remote SDR routers can then update the list of CSDRs interested in their services per latest information. 8. Calculation of Optimal Producer Leveraging OSPF capability to store and compute paths on a topology, the same mechanisms can be used to compute the Optimal PSDRs using the SPF for SDR reachable address using IGP metrics, SDR metric and the service metric. The Optimal PSDR is used in the consumer subtlv. 9. Service Router Data Operations OSPF SDR delegates the task of SDD distribution to the Data Exchange Agent. This text defines an implementation of such an agent and named it the Service Data Distribution Agent (SDDA). OSPF SDR provides SDDA information about which Consumer SDR is interested which service provided by this OSPF (Producer) SDR. The SDDA makes use of such information to setup distribution channel for SDD distribution from this OSPF Producer SDR to other OSPF Consumer SDRs. For each OSPF Consumer SDR which subscribes to at least one service provided by this OSPF Producer SDR, there will be a different distribution channel created. The distribution channel is setup when the OSPF Consumer SDR has subscribed to its first service provided by this OSPF Producer SDR. When the OSPF Consumer SDR subscribes to additional service provided by this OSPF Producer SDR, service data for the new service will be carried over the existing distribution channel. In order words, the same distribution channel can carry service data for different services. The services carried are said to be bound to the distribution channel. When a distribution channel is first setup for a service or a new service is bound to the channel, the SDDA will notify the SDD. In turn, the SDD will send the latest data for that service to the SDDA for distribution over that channel. On the other hand, whenever the SDD has new version of data for a service, the SDD will send those data to the SDDA, which will Pillay-Esnault, et al. Expires January 8, 2017 [Page 14] Internet-Draft Service Distribution using OSPF July 2016 distribute the new data to all the distribution channels which carry the service. 9.1.
