BGP Flow Specification Version 2

Version 2 of BGP flow specification was original defined in (denoted FSv2). However, the full FSv2 specification contains more than initial implementers desired. Therefore, this original FSv2 draft remains an WG draft, but the content will be split out into functions that implementers can manage. Section 1.4 contains the list of documents intended to be the split of the original FSv2 documents. FSv2 specifies new user-ordered filters that will be used with the IPv4 (AFI=1) and IPv6 (AFI=2) 2 new SAFIs (TBD1, TBD2) for FSv2 to be used with 5 AFIs (1, 2, 6, 25, and 31) to allow user-ordered lists of traffic match filters for user-ordered traffic match actions encoded in Communities (Wide or Extended). This draft specifies defines extensions to the FSv2 Basic IP package to support additional IP filters for IP packet and payload. The filters are passed in the Extended IP Filters (type 2) of the subTLVs. This filter form contains a filter version number so filters can be added easily. BGP Flow Specifiction version 1 (FSv1) as defined in , , and specified 2 SAFIs (133, 134) to be used with IPv4 AFI (AFI = 1) and IPv6 AFI (AFI=2). FSV2 specifies 2 new SAFIs (TBD1, TBD2) for FSv2 to be used with 5 AFIs (1, 2, 6, 25, and 31) to allow user-ordered lists of traffic match filters for user-ordered traffic match actions encoded in Communities (Wide or Extended). The first SAFI (TBD1) will be used for IP forwarding, and the second SAFI (TBD2) will be used with VPNs. The supported AFI/SAFI combinations in FSV2 are: IPV4 (AFI=1, SAFI=TBD1), IPv6 (AFI=2, SAFI=TBD1), L2 (AFI=6, SAFI=TBD1), SFC (AFI=31, SAFI=TBD1), BGP/MPLS IPv4 VPN (AFI=1, SAFI=TBD2), BGP/MPLS IPV6 VPN (AFI=2, SAFI=TBD2), BGP/MPLS L2VPN (AFI=25, SAFI=TBD2), and SFC VPN (AFI=31, SAFI=TBD2) FSv2 specifies new IP filter that will be used with the IPv4 (AFI=1) and IPv6 (AFI=2) 2 new SAFIs (TBD1, TBD2) for FSv2 to be used with 5 AFIs (1, 2, 6, 25, and 31) to allow user-ordered lists of traffic match filters for user-ordered traffic match actions encoded in Communities (Wide or Extended). This document specifies IP filters used with IPvr (AFI=1) and IPv6 (AFI=2). FSv1 and FSv2 use different AFI/SAFIs to send flow specification filters. Since BGP route selection is performed per AFI/SAFI, this approach can be termed “ships in the night” based on AFI/SAFI. Section 2 contains a description of the format of the FSv2 NLRI for the the Extended IP Filters type (type 2). Section 3 provides three new Filters approved in IDR WG drafts. Section 4 provides potential filters from individual drafts.

AFI - Address Family Identifier AS - Autonomous System BGPSEC - secure BGP updated by BGP Session ephemeral state - state which does not survive the loss of BGP peer session. Configuration state - state which persist across a reboot of software module within a routing system or a reboot of a hardware routing device. DDOs - Distributed Denial of Service. Ephemeral state - state which does not survive the reboot of a software module, or a hardware reboot. Ephemeral state can be ephemeral configuration state or operational state. FSv1 - Flow Specification version 1 [RFC8955] [RFC8956] FSv2 - Flow Specification version 2 (this document) NETCONF - The Network Configuration Protocol . RESTCONF - The RESTCONF configuration Protocol RIB - Routing Information Base. ROA - Route Origin Authentication RR - Route Reflector. SAFI – Subsequent Address Family Identifier

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 BCP 14 when, and only when, they appear in all capitals as shown here.

Note from Editor: This review section is here for the initial drafts to help with interim. It will be deleted as it is in . A BGP Flow Specification (version 1 or version 2) is an n-tuple containing one or more match criteria that can be applied to IP traffic, traffic encapsulated in IP traffic or traffic associated with IP traffic. The following are examples of such traffic: IP packet or an IP packet inside a L2 packet (Ethernet), an MPLS packet, and SFC flow. Flow Specification NLRI may be associated with a set of path attributes depending on the particular application to determine what happens upon matching the data flow filter. FSv1 and FSv2 support specifying the Extended Community specify a set of actions with a default order and known interactions. FSv2 also supports the ability to have user ordered actions by using the FSv2 type of Community BGP Path Attribute. A particular application is identified by a specific AFI/SAFI (Address Family Identifier/Subsequent Address Family Identifier) and corresponds to a distinct set of RIBs. Those RIBs should be treated independently of each other in order to assure noninterference between distinct applications. FSv1 data is sent in a different NLRI than FSv2 NLRI. BGP processing treats the NLRI as a key to entries in AFI/SAFI BGP databases. Entries that are placed in the Loc-RIB are then associated with a given set of semantics which are application dependent. Standard BGP mechanisms such as update filtering by NLRI or by attributes such as AS_PATH or large communities apply to the BGP Flow Specification defined NLRI-types. Network operators can control the propagation of BGP routes by enabling or disabling the exchange of routes for a particular AFI/SAFI pair on a particular peering session. As such, the Flow Specification may be distributed to only a portion of the BGP infrastructure. Flow Specification v2 allows the user to order the flow specification rules and the actions associated with a rule. Each FSv2 rule may have one or more match conditions and one or more associated actions. The IDR WG draft contains the complete solution for FSv2. However, this complete solution makes implementation of these features a large task so, please see the next section on how the complete solution is broken into a series of solutions. This section describres the complete solution. This FSv2 specification supports the components and actions for the following: IPv4 (AFI=1, SAFI=TBD1) [defined in FSv2-DDOS], IPv6 (AFI=2, SAFI=TBD2) [defined in FSv2-DDOS], L2 (AFI=6, SAFI=TDB1) [defined in FSv2-L2], BGP/MPLS IPv4 VPN: (AFI=1, SAFI=TBD2), BGP/MPLS IPv6 VPN: (AFI=2, SAFI=TBD2), BGP/MPLS L2VPN (AFI=25, SAFI=TDB2) [defined in FSv2-L2], SFC: (AFI=31, SAFI=TBD1) [defined in FSv2-SFC], and SFC VPN (AFI=31, SAFI=TBD2) [defined in FSv2-SFC]. The FSv2 specification for tunnel traffic is outside the scope of this specification. The FSv1 specification for tunneled traffic is in . The FSv2 tunnel traffic for FSv2 will be added to this list. FSv2 operates in the ships-in-the night model with FSv1 so network operators can manipulate which the distribution of FSv2 and FSv1 using configuration parameters. Since the lack of deterministic ordering was an FSv1 problem, this specification provides rules and protocol features to keep filters in a deterministic order between FSv1 and FSv2. The basic principles regarding ordering of flow specification filter rules are: 1) Rule-0 (zero) is defined to be 0/0 with the “permit-all” action. 2) FSv2 rules are ordered based on user-specified order. The user-specified order is carried in the FSv2 NLRI and a numerical lower value takes precedence over a numerically higher value. For rules received with the same order value, the FSv1 rules apply (order by component type and then by value of the components). 3) FSv2 rules are added starting with Rule 1 and FSv1 rules are added after FSv2 rules For example, BGP Peer A has FSv2 data base with 10 FSv2 rules (1-10). FSv1 user number is configured to start at 301 so 10 FSv1 rules are added at 301-310. 4) An FSv2 peer may receive BGP NLRI routes from a FSv1 peer or a BGP peer that does not support FSv1 or FSv2. The capabilities sent by a BGP peer indicate whether the AFI/SAFI can be received (FSv1 NLRI or FSv2 NLRI). 5) Associate a chain of actions to rules based on user-defined action number (1-n). (optional) If no actions are associated with a filter rule, the default is to drop traffic the filter rules match An action chain of 1-n actions can be associated with a set of filter rules can via Extended Communities or Wide Communities. Only Wide Communities can associate a user-defined order for the actions. Extended Community actions occur after actions with a user specified order (see section 5.2 for details). Figure 2-2 provides a logical diagram of the FSv2 structure

The full FSV2 information is contained in . Feedback from the implementers indicate that the Flow Specification v2 needs to broken into drafts based on the use cases the technology supports. These include IPv4/IPv6 IP Basic Filters for DDOS, IPv4/IPv6 filters beyond DDOS, BGP/MPLS IPv4 VPN, BGP/MPLS IPv6 VPN, BGP/MPLS L2VPN, Segment routing (SRMPLS, SRv6), SFC, SFC VPN, L2, L2 VPNs, and tunneled traffic (e.g., nv03 WG tunnels). The following is the list of planned drafts: FSv2 IP Basic () FSv2 More IP Filters () FSv2 More IP Actions () FSv2 Non-IP Filters (draft-hares-idr-fsv2-non-ip-Filters) FSv2 Non-IP Actions (draft-hares-idr-fsv2-non-ip-actions) has a description of each draft. The original FSV2 information is contained in .

The format of the FSv2 NLRI field for IP Filters is defined in the original FSv2 draft and in the first of the FSv2 series drafts . As a review, the FSv2 NLRI with The format of the NLRI for Basic IP Filters (type 1) is also defined in . This document defines the format of NLRI for the FSv2 Extended IP Filter type (type 2). Figure 3-1 provides the general header and Figure 3-2 provides the definition of the "value" portion. Figure 3-3 provides a diagram of the component types. The key differences is that the extended IP filter types starts with a IP Filters identifier before SubTLVs with the filter components.

If the SubTLV types are the same, then the value fields are compared using mechanisms defined in and and MUST be in ascending order. NLRIs having TLVs which do not follow the above ordering rules MUST be considered as malformed by a BGP FSv2 propagator. This rule prevents any ambiguities that arise from the multiple copies of the same NLRI from multiple BGP FSv2 propagators. A BGP implementation SHOULD treat such malformed NLRIs as "Treat-as-withdraw" . See , , and . for specific details.

FSv2 Component: Parts of SID Filter: defines a list of match bit match criteria for some combinations of the LOC (location), FUNCT (function) and ARG (arguments) fields in the SID or or whole SID. Length: variable Component Value format: [type, LOC-Len, FUNCT-Len, ARG-Len, [op, value]+] where: type (1 octet): This indicates the new component type (TBD1, which is to be assigned by IANA). LOC-Len (1 octet): This indicates the length in bits of LOC in SID. FUNCT-Len (1 octet): This indicates the length in bits of FUNCT in SID. ARG-Len (1 octet): This indicates the length in bits of ARG in SID. [op, value]+: This contains a list of {operator, value} pairs that are used to match some parts of SID. The total of three lengths (i.e., LOC length + FUNCT length + ARG length) MUST NOT be greater than 128. If it is greater than 128, an error occurs and it is treated as a withdrawal [RFC7606] and [RFC4760]. The operator (op) byte is encoded as:

The use of ROA improves on by checking to see of the route origination. This check can improve the validation sequence for a multiple-AS environment. >The use of BGPSEC to secure the packet can increase security of BGP flow specification information sent in the packet. The use of the reduced validation within an AS can provide adequate validation for distribution of flow specification within a single autonomous system for prevention of DDoS. Distribution of flow filters may provide insight into traffic being sent within an AS, but this information should be composite information that does not reveal the traffic patterns of individuals.
