        Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) for Network
                      Resource Partition (NRP) in SR



                     draft-gong-teas-spring-nrp-oam-00


Abstract

   A Network Resource Partition (NRP) represents a subset of network
   resources and associated policies within the underlay network.

   This document describes the implementation of the Operations,
   Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) mechanism for NRPs in Segment
   Routing (SR) networks. By extending existing OAM mechanisms such as
   ping, traceroute, Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD), and
   Simple Two-way Active Measurement Protocol (STAMP), the proposed
   solution enables comprehensive NRP support in SR networks.

   1. Introduction

   [RFC9543] provides the definition of IETF network slice for use
   within the IETF and discusses the general framework for requesting
   and operating IETF Network Slices, their characteristics, and the
   necessary system components and interfaces. It also introduces the
   concept Network Resource Partition (NRP), which is a subset of the
   resources and associated policies in the underlay network.

Internet-Draft          OAM for NRP in SR Network           March 2025


   Using OAM tools enables real-time monitoring of the operational
   status of network slices, allowing for quick detection and
   localization of faults. When a node or link within a network slice
   experiences a failure, OAM tools can promptly issue alerts,
   assisting network administrators in taking swift corrective action
   to minimize service downtime. Therefore, the use of OAM tools in an
   NRP network is crucial for ensuring the availability and performance
   of network slice resources. This not only enhances user experience
   but also improves the overall efficiency and stability of the
   network.

   [RFC8402] describes Segment Routing Architecture and its
   instantiation in two data planes: MPLS and IPv6.

   For different data plane types, existing OAM tools can be utilized
   for inspection. Existing OAM tools typically include Ping,
   Traceroute, BFD, and STAMP. [RFC9259] explains how to perform OAM
   when the underlying network uses SRv6. [RFC8029] describes how to
   Detect MPLS Data-Plane Failures in MPLS networks.

   This document continues to employ these existing OAM mechanisms to
   monitor NRP resources. Specifically, it describes the OAM mechanisms
   for inspecting NRP resources in scenarios where the data plane is
   based on MPLS networks and SRv6 networks. However, the OAM methods
   for inspecting NRP resources outlined in this document are not
   limited to these specific data plane types.

   This document outlines how to utilize existing OAM tools to monitor
   the operational status of NRP resources and quickly detect and
   pinpoint faults within NRP resources.

1.1. Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.



   2. OAM Mechanisms

   During the process of using existing OAM mechanisms to check the
   operational status of NRP resources, the OAM initiator needs to
   carry the NRP-ID in the data plane of the inspection packets.

Internet-Draft          OAM for NRP in SR Network           March 2025


   Intermediate equipment and OAM End Points need to check the
   availability of NRP resources when receiving OAM packets with an
   NRP-ID. If the NRP resources are unavailable, they should respond to
   the OAM initiator with an error message, indicating that the NRP
   resources are unavailable.

   This document adopts these existing methods of carrying the NRP-ID
   in the data plane to perform OAM operations within NRP networks. The
   specific mechanisms for carrying the NRP-ID in the data plane are
   outside the scope of this document. Based on different underlying
   networks, this document describes how to use OAM tools to monitor
   NRP resources by carrying the NRP-ID during OAM operations.

   Building on the aforementioned aspects, using existing OAM
   mechanisms for underlay network operations and existing mechanisms
   for carrying the NRP-ID in the data plane, this document will
   describe how to use OAM tools to monitor the operational status of
   NRP resources within NRP networks.

2.1. PING

   When performing a PING operation, the initiator sends a PING
   request. To support the probing of NRP resources, NRP information is
   carried in the data layer. Intermediate nodes inspect the NRP
   resources. If the request packet can be forwarded to the control
   plane, the response packet can include an error code to notify the
   initiator of an "NRP resource unavailable" error. However, if the
   packet cannot be forwarded to the control plane, the request packet
   is simply dropped, and the initiator cannot obtain specific error
   information.

Internet-Draft          OAM for NRP in SR Network           March 2025


   1) The initiator of the PING request includes the NRP-ID in the data
      layer when sending the PING request.

      [RFC8029]When the data layer is MPLS, the PING Request is an MPLS
      Echo Request message.

      [RFC9259]When the data layer is SRv6, the PING Request is an
      ICMPv6 message encapsulated with an SRH header.

   2) The intermediate node or End Point first checks if the NRP
      resources are available when processing a Ping Request. If they
      are not available, it responds with a Ping Response, indicating
      the Error as "NRP resources unavailable".

      For MPLS networks, it is necessary to extend the Return Codes
      carried in the MPLS Echo Reply(IANA 6.1).

      For SRv6 networks, the Error Code in the ICMPv6 Reply needs to be
      extended(IANA 6.2).

   3) If the check passes, the End Point will respond with a normal PING
      Response.

2.2. TRACEROUTE

   When performing a TRACEROUTE operation, the TRACEROUTE initiator
   sends request packets toward the destination node by incrementally
   increasing the TTL value. To support the probing of NRP resources,
   NRP information is carried in the data layer. Each intermediate node
   first checks the availability of NRP resources before inspecting the
   TTL. If the resources are unavailable, the node responds with an
   error message indicating resource unavailability. In both MPLS and
   SRv6 networks, the packets used for TRACEROUTE are the same as those
   used for PING. When NRP resources are unavailable, the error codes
   used are also identical to those used in PING operations

           Figure 2 Traceroute for NRP


   Process of Traceroute for NRP:

   1) The initiator of the Traceroute request includes the NRP-ID in the
      data layer when sending the Traceroute request.

      [RFC8029]When the data layer is MPLS, the Traceroute Request is an
      MPLS Echo Request message with TTL 1 to n increase.

      [RFC9259]When the data layer is SRv6, the Traceroute Request is an
      ICMPv6 message encapsulated with an SRH header with TTL 1 to n
      increase.

   2) The intermediate node or End Point first checks if the NRP
      resources are available when processing a Traceroute Request. If
      they are not available, it responds with a Traceroute Response,
      indicating the Error as "NRP resources unavailable". The error
      code for expansion should be the same as PING.

   3) If the check passes, the process proceeds with a normal
      Traceroute, performing hop-by-hop detection of the path to the End
      Point until the Traceroute process is completed, and the detection
      results are outputted.

2.3. BFD

   [RFC5880][RFC5881] provides a detailed description of the BFD
   protocol.

   By establishing a BFD session between the head node and the tail
   node, BFD packets are exchanged regularly to quickly detect the
   reachability of the route between these nodes.



Gong & Lin, et al.   Expires September 03, 2025               [Page 6]

Internet-Draft          OAM for NRP in SR Network           March 2025


   For NRP support, the BFD packets are encapsulated with an NRP-ID to
   probe the reachability of the corresponding route within this NRP.

   When intermediate nodes and the tail node receive a BFD packet, they
   must check the availability of NRP resources. If the resources are
   unavailable, the received BFD packet should be discarded.

   It is important to note that the identifier for a BFD session
   typically does not include the NRP-ID. Instead, it consists of [LD
   (Local Discriminator), RD (Remote Discriminator), source address,
   destination address]. When establishing BFD sessions with
   identifiers across different NRPs, it is impossible to distinguish
   between these sessions based solely on the identifiers. Therefore,
   in such cases, distinct LD and RD values must be configured for each
   NRP, enabling differentiation between BFD sessions based on [LD
   (Local Discriminator), RD (Remote Discriminator), source address,
   destination address].

           Figure 3 BFD for NRP



   Process of BFD for NRP:

   1) The session initiator includes the NRP-ID in the data layer.

   2) The responder first checks the availability of NRP resources. If
      the NRP resources are unavailable, it does not respond. Otherwise,
      it replies with a BFD detection response.

Internet-Draft          OAM for NRP in SR Network           March 2025


2.4. STAMP

   [RFC8762] describes the implementation process of the STAMP
   protocol.

   When sending a STAMP Request, the NRP information to be inspected is
   carried in the data layer. Intermediate nodes processing the STAMP
   Request perform an NRP resource check. If the request packet can be
   forwarded to the control plane, the STAMP response packet can
   include an error code to notify the initiator of an "NRP resource
   unavailable" error. However, if the packet cannot be forwarded to
   the control plane, the request packet is simply dropped, and the
   initiator cannot obtain specific error information.

                    1)STAMP Request with NRP-ID

                    ------------------->

                                            2)STAMP Reply

                    <-----------------------

   +----------------------+                +-------------------------+

   | STAMP Session-Sender | <--- STAMP---> | STAMP Session-Reflector |

   +----------------------+                +-------------------------+

           Figure 4 STAmp for NRP


   1) The STAMP Session-Sender transmits STAMP packets, carrying the
      NRP-ID in the data layer.

   2) The STAMP Session-Reflector first checks the availability of NRP
      resources. If the resources are unavailable, it responds with an
      "NRP resources unavailable" error. Otherwise, it proceeds to reply
      with a normal STAMP response.

   3. Round-trip path consistency

   For scenarios where OAM checks are needed for the return path of NRP
   resources, there are two methods:

   The first method involves the head node carrying the return path's
   NRP-ID in the control plane. This return NRP-ID is sent to the end-
   point via the OAM message. The end-point retrieves the return NRP-ID


Gong & Lin, et al.   Expires September 03, 2025               [Page 8]

Internet-Draft          OAM for NRP in SR Network           March 2025


   from the control plane data and uses it as the NRP-ID for the data
   plane of the response message.

   [RFC8029]When performing OAM operations in an MPLS network, the
   return path can be specified by including the Reverse-path Target
   FEC Stack TLV in Request message. Based on this, this document
   extends the Reverse-path Target FEC Stack TLV by adding a return
   NRP-ID field.

   [RFC6426]The format of the Reverse-path Target FEC Stack TLV is the
   same as that of the Target FEC Stack TLV defined in [RFC4379].A
   Target FEC Stack is a list of sub-TLVs, The new sub-TLV "NRP-ID" is
   defined in this document, the format is as follow:

   0                   1                   2                   3

   0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   |  sub-Type = TBD (NRP-ID)      |          Length = 4           |

   |                             NRP-ID                            |

   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   Sub-Type Refer to IANA 4.3.

   [RFC9503]When performing STAMP, the Return Path can be included in
   the request message to specify the return path. Based on this, this
   document extends the STAMP Return Path Sub-TLV to carry the NRP-ID
   within the Return Path.

   The format of Return NRP-ID sub-TLV in Return Path Sub-TLVs:

   0                   1                   2                   3

   0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   Sub-Type Refer to IANA 4.4.



   The second method involves pre-configuring the return NRP-ID at the
   end-point by an administrator. When the end-point receives an OAM
   message from the head point, it uses the pre-configured return NRP-
   ID as the NRP-ID for the data plane of the response message.The
   specific implementation of this method is not within the scope of
   this document.

4.1. PING in MPLS network

   An example of MPLS Ping success:

    > ping 15000 via label-stack 12000, 14000, NRP-ID: 1, Ret NRP-ID: 2

    Sending 5, 100-byte MPLS Echos to 192.168.5.2, timeout is 2 seconds:

    !!!!!

    Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 0.625
   /0.749/0.931 ms



   An example of MPLS Ping failure due to NRP resource unavailability:

    > ping 15000 via label-stack 12000, 14000, NRP-ID: 1, Ret NRP-ID: 2

   Reply to request 2 (1 ms). Return Code: 'N'

   Reply to request 3 (1 ms). Return Code: 'N'

   Reply to request 4 (1 ms). Return Code: 'N'

   Reply to request 3 (1 ms). Return Code: 'N'

   Reply to request 4 (1 ms). Return Code: 'N'

   Success rate is 0 percent (0/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/1 ms



   Error code 'N' indicates that the cause of the error is the
   unavailability of NRP resources. This explanation applies to the
   following examples as well and will not be reiterated.

4.2. TRACEROUTE in MPLS network
