Configuring SR-MPLS

About SR-MPLS

Segment Routing (SR) is a source routing technology. The source node selects a path for the

packets, and then encodes the path in the packet header as an ordered list of segments. Each

segment is identified by a label called a segment identifier (SID). The SR nodes along the path

forward the packets based on the SIDs in the packets. Only the source node needs to maintain the

path status.

SR can operate with MPLS. In an MPLS network, SR uses MPLS labels as SIDs to forward packets

on an LSP.

SR-MPLS characteristics

SR-MPLS has the following characteristics:

•

SR-MPLS forwards packets based on the existing MPLS infrastructure. No infrastructure

modifications are needed to implement SR on an MPLS network. For more information about

the MPLS infrastructure, see MPLS basics configuration in MPLS Configuration Guide.

•

SR-MPLS expands and optimizes existing IGPs and BGP and uses the IGPs and BGP to

distribute labels.

•

SR-MPLS implements network features such as MPLS TE in a simpler way, eliminating issues

such as heavy and complicated routing protocol deployment.

Basic concepts

•

SR node—A node enabled with the SR-MPLS feature. The ingress node (source node) adds

labels to packets. The transit nodes forward packets based on labels. The egress node

(endpoint node) removes labels and forwards packets to the destination networks. SR nodes

form an SR domain.

•

Segment—An instruction an SR node executes on the incoming packet.

•

SID—Segment ID, which is MPLS label in SR-MPLS.

•

Segment type—The following types of segments are available:

 Prefix segment—SIDs are assigned to nodes based on destination address prefix. The

nodes create prefix-specific forwarding entries.

 Adjacency segment—SIDs are assigned to nodes based on adjacency.

•

SRLSP—Segment routing label switched path, an LSP along which SR uses MPLS labels as

SIDs to forward packets.

•

SRGB—Segment routing global block, a range of global labels dedicated for SR-MPLS prefix

SIDs. Different nodes can have different SRGBs. The minimum label value of an SRGB label

range is referred to as the base value of the SRGB.

•

SRLB—Segment routing local block, a range of local labels dedicated for SR-MPLS adjacency

SIDs. All nodes share the same SRLB. The minimum label value of the SRLB label range is

referred to as the base value of the SRLB.

How SR-MPLS works

SR-MPLS involves the following steps:

2

1. Label allocation for all nodes and links along the packet forwarding paths.

The following methods are available:

 Static segment configuration

 Dynamic SID allocation through an IGP

2. Label forwarding entry installation based on SIDs. All SR-MPLS devices in the SR domain use

the allocated labels to create label forwarding entries.

3. SRLSP setup. You can manually configure SRLSPs, or use an IGP, BGP, or a controller to

dynamically create SRLSPs.

When the ingress node of an SRLSP receives a packet, it adds labels to the packet and forwards the

packet to the egress node through the SRLSP. After receiving a packet from the SRLSP, the egress

node removes the label and forwards the packet based on the routing table.

You can bind a higher layer application (for example, MPLS TE) to an SRLSP to forward traffic of the

application through the SRLSP.

Traffic steering to an SR-MPLS tunnel

SR-MPLS tunnels include SR-MPLS BE tunnels and SR-MPLS TE tunnels.

After an SR-MPLS BE or SR-MPLS TE tunnel is established, traffic cannot be forwarded

automatically through the tunnel. You can use the following methods to steer traffic to an SR-MPLS

BE or SR-MPLS TE tunnel:

Static route

The static route method is a simple, direct method for steering traffic to an SR-MPLS TE tunnel.

This method configures a static route destined for the destination address through the tunnel

interface and allows the static route to recurse to LSP tunnels established by SR-MPLS TE. For

more information about static route recursion to LSP tunnels, see static route configuration in Layer

3—IP Routing Configuration Guide.

Tunnel policy

When traffic of a VPN is forwarded through a tunnel, the traffic is forwarded through an LDP LSP

tunnel by default. To direct the traffic to an SR-MPLS BE or SR-MPLS TE tunnel, you can apply a

tunnel policy or tunnel selector to the VPN.

Based on the service requirements, you can configure one of the following types of tunnel policy to

direct traffic of a VPN to an SR-MPLS BE or SR-MPLS TE tunnel:

•

Tunnel binding—Bind a destination IP address to a tunnel in a tunnel policy. After the tunnel

policy is applied to a VPN, the VPN traffic to the destination IP address will be forwarded by the

bound tunnel.

•

Preferred tunnel—Specify an SR-MPLS TE tunnel as a preferred tunnel in a tunnel policy.

After the tunnel policy is applied to a VPN, the VPN traffic will be forwarded by the preferred

tunnel. This method explicitly specifies a tunnel for a VPN, facilitating traffic planning.

•

Load sharing—Specify the tunnel types (SR-MPLS BE or SR-MPLS TE tunnels) and selection

order and the number of tunnels for load sharing in a tunnel policy.

For more information about tunnel policies, see MPLS Configuration Guide.

PBR

The policy-based routing (PBR) method defines a PBR policy to specify the output interface for

packets that match an ACL as an SR-MPLS TE tunnel interface, and then applies the PBR policy to

the incoming interface of packets. In this way, traffic is redirected to the SR-MPLS TE tunnel.

The PBR method can match the packets to be forwarded by a tunnel interface by packet destination

IP address, source IP address, and protocol type. Compared with the static route method, the PBR

3

method is more flexible but its configuration is more complicated. For more information about PBR,

see policy-based routing configuration in Layer 3—IP Routing Configuration Guide.

Automatic route advertisement

Automatic route advertisement distributes the SR-MPLS TE tunnel to the IGP (OSPF or IS-IS), so

the SR-MPLS TE tunnel can participate in IGP routing calculation.

Automatic route advertisement can be implemented by using the following methods:

•

IGP shortcut—Also known as AutoRoute Announce. It considers the SR-MPLS TE tunnel as a

link that directly connects the tunnel ingress node (source node) and the egress node (endpoint

node). Only the ingress node uses the SR-MPLS TE tunnel during IGP route calculation.

•

Forwarding adjacency—Considers the SR-MPLS TE tunnel as a link that directly connects

the tunnel ingress node and the egress node, and advertises the link to the network through an

IGP. Every node in the network uses the SR-MPLS TE tunnel during IGP route calculation.

As shown in Figure 1, an SR-MPLS TE tunnel exists from Device D to Device C. IGP shortcut

enables only the ingress node Device D to use the SR-MPLS TE tunnel in the IGP route calculation.

Device A cannot use this tunnel to reach Device C. With forwarding adjacency enabled, Device A can

learn this SR-MPLS TE tunnel and transfer traffic to Device C by forwarding the traffic to Device D.

Figure 1 IGP shortcut and forwarding adjacency

Static segment configuration

Static SR-MPLS provides the following methods for configuring static segments for a destination:

•

Prefix segment method—Manually configure the incoming label, outgoing label, and next hop

for the destination address prefix on each SR node.

•

Adjacency segment method—Manually configure the incoming label and next hop for the

adjacency to the neighbor on each SR node.

Dynamic SID allocation through an IGP

SR-MPLS expands IGP protocols such as IS-IS and OSPF to advertise SIDs in IGP protocol packets.

SR-MPLS provides the following methods for dynamically allocating and advertising SIDs:

•

Prefix SID.

•

Adjacency SID.

Prefix SID

After you configure an SID for the loopback address on each SR node, the SIDs uniquely identify the

SR nodes. All SR nodes in the SR domain use an IGP to advertise their own prefix SIDs. After

receiving advertised prefix SIDs, each SR node calculates the prefix SIDs to the advertisers.

The prefix SID advertisement can be one of the following types:

•

Absolute value advertisement—Each SR node advertises the prefix SID absolute value and

the SRGB.

•

Index value advertisement—Each SR node advertises the prefix SID index and the SRGB.

Each SR node is assigned a globally unique index value for the node's prefix. The prefix SID an SR

node allocates to a prefix equals the SRGB base of the SR node plus the index for that prefix.

NOTE:

The device supports only the index value advertisement in the current software release.

Adjacency SID

SR nodes use an IGP to advertise SIDs allocated to the IGP adjacencies (that is, the links to its IGP

neighbors). The SIDs are used to identify the links.

The adjacency SIDs can be allocated automatically or manually.

•

Automatic adjacency SID allocation—SR nodes allocate labels in SRLBs to the IGP

adjacencies as SIDs.

•

Manual adjacency SID allocation—You can assign adjacency SID by using absolute values

or index values. If you use index values, the adjacency SID of a link is the base value of the

SRLB plus the index value for the link.

Dynamic SID allocation through BGP

SR-MPLS expands BGP to advertise prefix SIDs in BGP protocol packets. BGP uses routing policies

to assign SIDs to prefixes when redistributing routes. The SIDs uniquely identify the SR nodes. All

SR nodes in the SR domain use BGP to advertise their own prefix SIDs, including the SIDs and SID

index values. From received advertisement packets, each SR node derives the prefix SIDs for the

advertisers.

BGP prefix SIDs can be exchanged between BGP peers only through IPv4 unicast routes.

Dynamic SID allocation through BGP applies to MPLS VPN inter-AS option C networks.

SID allocation through BGP EPE

The BGP Egress Peer Engineering (BGP EPE) feature assigns labels to BGP peers to steer traffic

across ASs to specific BGP neighbors or links.

After you configure BGP EPE on a device, the device assigns SIDs to connected BGP peers or peer

groups to identify the BGP neighbors or links. These SIDs are called BGP peering SIDs or BGP

peering segments.

BGP peering segments or SIDs fall into the following types:

•

Peer Node Segment (Peer Node SID)—Node type, typically assigned to a BGP neighbor that

has used a directly connected interface to establish a BGP session with the device.

•

Peer Adjacency Segment (Peer Adjacency SID)—Adjacency type, typically assigned to a

BGP neighbor that uses a loopback interface to establish a BGP session with the device.

•

Peer Set Segment (Peer Set SID)—Set type, typically assigned to links when multiple equal

cost multi-path (ECMP) paths exist between the device and a BGP neighbor.

5

SIDs that BGP EPE assigns are locally significant. These SIDs are not advertised to other devices

and are not affected by route types exchanged between BGP peers.

SID allocation through BGP EPE is typically used for MPLS VPN inter-AS option B.

Label forwarding entry installation based on SIDs

Label forwarding entry installation based on IGP prefix SIDs

Label forwarding entries based on prefix SIDs can be static or dynamic.

•

Static label forwarding entries—The device creates local label forwarding entries based on

manually configured incoming labels, outgoing labels, and next hops.

•

Dynamic label forwarding entries—The device uses the IGP to flood in the SR domain the

local SRGB and the index of the prefix SID for the local loopback interface. Based on the

flooded information, the other devices in the domain calculates their local label forwarding

entries by using the following rules:

 Incoming label = Local SRGB base value + Index

 Outgoing label = SRGB base value of the next hop + Index

Figure 2 Creating label forwarding entries based on IGP prefix SIDs

Figure 2 shows how dynamic label forwarding entries are created. After you assign index value 201

to loopback address 1.1.1.1/32 on Device C, Device C uses an IGP packet to advertise the index

value and its local SRGB. Then, the devices calculate incoming and outgoing labels according to the

previously mentioned label calculation rules.

•

Devices C calculates its incoming label, which is 16201.

•

Device B calculates its incoming label and outgoing label and creates a label forwarding entry.

The incoming label is 16201. The outgoing label is 16201. The next hop is Device C.

•

Device A calculates its incoming label and outgoing label and creates a label forwarding entry.

The incoming label is 16201. The outgoing label is 16201. The next hop is Device B.

Label forwarding entry installation based on BGP prefix SIDs

The device redistributes routes to BGP and assigns prefix SIDs to redistributed routes based on

routing policies. Then, the device uses BGP to flood in the SR domain the prefix SIDs and the

indexes of the prefix SIDs. Based on the flooded information, the other devices in the domain

calculates their local label forwarding entries by using the following rules:

•

Incoming label = Local SRGB base value + Index

•

Outgoing label = Received SID

Figure 3 Creating label forwarding entries based on BGP prefix SIDs

Figure 3 shows how label forwarding entries are created. After you assign index value 201 to

loopback address 1.1.1.1/32 on Device D, Device D redistributes the route of the address and

assigns it an SID (16201 in this example). Then, the device uses a BGP packet to advertise the SID

and index value. The devices in the SR domain calculate incoming and outgoing labels according to

the previously mentioned label calculation rules and create label forwarding entries.

•

Devices D calculates its incoming label, which is 16201.

•

Device C calculates its incoming label and outgoing label and creates a label forwarding entry.

The incoming label is 16201. The outgoing label is 16201. The next hop is Device D.

•

Device B calculates its incoming label and outgoing label and creates a label forwarding entry.

The incoming label is 16201. The outgoing label is 16201. The next hop is Device C.

•

Device A calculates its incoming label and outgoing label and creates a label forwarding entry.

The incoming label is 16201. The outgoing label is 16201. The next hop is Device B.

Label forwarding entry installation based on BGP EPE

Configure BGP EPE on border devices to assign SIDs to specific peers or peer groups.

Figure 4 Creating label forwarding entries by using BGP EPE

As shown in Figure 4, you can configure BGP EPE on Device B to assign BGP peering SIDs to

EBGP neighbors Device C and Device D. BGP peering SIDs are locally significant and are not

advertised to neighbors.

Label forwarding entry installation based on adjacency SIDs

When using adjacency SIDs, each device allocates a static or dynamic incoming label to the link to

its neighbor. The label has local significance. Multiple devices can use the same adjacency SID.

Figure 5 Creating label forwarding entries based on adjacency SIDs

As shown in Figure 5, the devices are running the same IGP. After IGP adjacencies are established

between the devices, Device A, Device B, and Device C allocates labels and creates label

forwarding entries as follows:

•

Device A allocates label 203 to the link to its neighbor Device B.

•

Device B allocates label 202 to the link to its neighbor Device C.

•

Device C allocates label 201 to the link to its neighbor Device D.

•

Device A creates a label forwarding entry with incoming label 203 and next hop Device B.

•

Device B creates a label forwarding entry with incoming label 202 and next hop Device C.

•

Device C creates a label forwarding entry with incoming label 201 and next hop Device D.

SRLSP setup

You can use the following methods to create SRLSPs:

•

Manually configure an SRLSP.

To configure an SRLSP, you must specify the label stack for packets to be forwarded along the

SRLSP on the ingress node. Each label in the stack corresponds to a prefix SID or adjacency

SID. The system can look for the outgoing label and next hop based on the prefix SID or

adjacency SID.

•

Configure SR nodes to use BGP or an IGP to dynamically establish an SRLSP.

SR nodes follow these steps to establish SRLSPs:

a. Use BGP or an IGP to collect prefix SID information from the SR-MPLS network.

b. Calculate the shortest paths to other SR nodes based on the collected prefix SID

information and the BGP or IGP network topology.

c. Establish SRLSPs based on the shortest paths.

•

Configure a controller to deploy SRLSP configuration to the device so the device creates

SRLSPs.

For more information about controller configuration, see the user guide for the controller.

Packet forwarding in SR-MPLS

Based on the SID allocation method, SR-MPLS uses one of the following packet forwarding

methods:

•

Prefix SID-based packet forwarding—The ingress node encapsulates the prefix SID for the

egress node to a packet. The transit nodes forward the packet based on label forwarding

entries.

•

Adjacency SID-based packet forwarding—The ingress node encapsulates the label stack

that contains the adjacency SIDs of all links along the forwarding path to a packet. Each transit

node uses the top label in the label stack to determine the next hop and pops the top label

before forwarding the packet to the next hop.

•

Prefix and adjacency SID-based packet forwarding—The nodes use prefix SID-based

packet forwarding in combination with adjacency-based packet forwarding.

Prefix SID-based packet forwarding within the same AS

Figure 6 shows how a packet is forwarded along the SRLSP from Device A to Device E based on

prefix SIDs. In this example, the outgoing label for the packet is 16201 on Device A.

1. Ingress node Device A searches for a forwarding entry for label 16201, adds outgoing label

16201 to the packet and sends the packet to the next hop (Device B).

2. When transit node Device B receives the packet, it searches for a label forwarding entry that

matches the label in the packet. Then, Device B uses the outgoing label of the matched entry

(16201) to replace the label in the packet and forwards the packet to the next hop (Device C).

3. Transit nodes Device C and Device D process the packet in the same way Device B does.

4. When egress node Device E receives the packet, it removes the label and forwards the packet

by IP address.

Figure 7 shows how a packet is forwarded along the SRLSP from Device A to Device D based on

prefix SIDs. In this example, the outgoing label for the packet is 16201 on Device A.

1. Ingress node Device A searches for a forwarding entry for label 16201, adds outgoing label

16201 to the packet, and sends the packet to the next hop (Device B).

2. When transit node Device B receives the packet, it searches for a label forwarding entry that

matches the label in the packet (16201). Then, Device B uses the outgoing label of the matched

entry (16201) to replace the label in the packet and forwards the packet to the next hop (Device

C).

3. Transit nodes Device C processes the packet in the same way Device B does.

4. When egress node Device D receives the packet, it removes the label and forwards the packet

by IP address.
