Overview Segment Routing (SR) [RFC8402] allows source nodes to steer packets through SR paths. It can be implemented over IPv6 [RFC8200] or MPLS [RFC3031]. When SR is implemented over IPv6, it is called SRv6 [RFC8986]. This document describes three new SRv6 end-point behaviors, called END.REPLACE, END.REPLACEB6 and END.DB6. These behaviors are used to build paths across SRv6 domains. They also facilitate end-to-end SRv6 intent-based path stitching. 2. 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.

Usecases 3.1. usecase 1 This use-case is mentioned in Section 4.1.1 of [I-D.hegde-spring-mpls-seamless-sr]. ---IBGP------EBGP----IBGP------EBGP-----IBGP--- | | | | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | | | | | ASBR1+--+ASBR2 ASBR3+--+ASBR4 | PE1+ AS1 | X | AS2 | X | AS3 +PE2 | ASBR5+--+ASBR6 ASBR7+--+ASBR8 | | | | | | | +-----+-----+ +-----------+ +-----------+ PE3 |---SRv6---| |---SRv6---| |---SRv6---| Figure 1: Multiple ASes connected with E-BGP Figure 1 depicts three ASes (AS1, AS2 and AS3). All the three domains deploy SRv6. Inter-provider Option C[RFC4364] connectivity is maintained from PE1 to PE2. 3.2. usecase 2 +-----------+ +------------+ / \ / \ | ABR1 | | | | PE1+ AS1 + AS1 +PE2 | | | | ABR2 | \ /\ / +------------+ +-----------+ Figure 2: Singe AS with different IGP domains Rajesh, et al. Expires 11 April 2025 [Page 3] Internet-Draft SRv6 interdomain SIDs October 2024 The above diagram Figure 2 shows two different SRv6 IGP domains. Services are running between PE1 and PE2 in option B [RFC4364] style. The requirement here is to avoid service route lookup on ABR1 and ABR2 to provide option B style end to end connectivity 4. SRv6 SID Behaviors 4.1. END.REPLACE The END.REPLACE behavior is applicable in the Multiple ASes Connected With E-BGP (Section 3.1) use-case. The End.REPLACE SID cannot be the last segment in SRH or SR Policy. Any SID instance of this behavior is associated with a set, J, of one or more L3 adjacencies of immediate BGP neighbors When Node N receives a packet destined to S and S is a locally instantiated End.REPLACE SID, Node N executes the following procedure: S01. When an SRH is processed { S02. If (Segments Left == 0) { S03. Stop processing the SRH, and proceed to process the next header in the packet, whose type is identified by the Next Header field in the routing header. Procedure is as per Section 4.1.1 of [RFC8986]. S04. } S05. If (IPv6 Hop Limit <= 1) { S06. Send an ICMP Time Exceeded message to the Source Address with Code 0 (Hop limit exceeded in transit), interrupt packet processing, and discard packet S07. } S08. Decrement IPv6 Hop Limit by 1 S09. Update IPv6 DA with new destination address(SID) mapped with END.REPLACE SID. S10. Submit the packet to the IPv6 module for transmission to the new destination via a member of J. S11. } 4.2. END.REPLACEB6 The END.REPLACEB6 behavior is applicable in the Multiple ASes Connected With E-BGP (Section 3.1) use-case. The End.REPLACEB6 SID cannot be the last segment in a SRH or SR Policy. Rajesh, et al. Expires 11 April 2025 [Page 4] Internet-Draft SRv6 interdomain SIDs October 2024 Node N is configured with an IPv6 address T (e.g., assigned to its loopback). When Node N receives a packet destined to S and S is a locally instantiated End.REPLACEB6 SID, Node N executes the following procedure: S01. When an SRH is processed { S02. If (Segments Left == 0) { S03. Stop processing the SRH, and proceed to process the next header in the packet, whose type is identified by the Next Header field in the routing header. Procedure is as per Section 4.1.1 of [RFC8986]. S04. } S05. If (IPv6 Hop Limit <= 1) { S06. Send an ICMP Time Exceeded message to the Source Address with Code 0 (Hop limit exceeded in transit),interrupt packet processing, and discard packet S07. } S08. Decrement IPv6 Hop Limit by 1 S09. Update IPv6 DA with new destination address(SID) mapped with END.REPLACEB6. S10. Push an IPv6 header with an SRH. S11. Set outer IPv6 SA = T and outer IPv6 DA to the first SID in the segment list S12. Set outer Payload Length, Traffic Class, Hop Limit, and Flow Label fields S13. Set the outer Next Header value S14. Submit the packet to the IPv6 module for transmission to the First SID. S15. } Note : S10 - S13. Implemetation may choose to avoid outer encapsulation for flex-algo and best effort based SRv6 transport tunnels. S12. The Payload Length, Traffic Class, Hop Limit, and Next Header fields are set as per [RFC2473]. The Flow Label is computed as per [RFC6437]. 4.3. END.DB6 For the use-case mentioned under Section 3.2 END.DB6 SID is applicable. The End.DB6 SID MUST be the last segment in SRH or SR Policy. Rajesh, et al. Expires 11 April 2025 [Page 5] Internet-Draft SRv6 interdomain SIDs October 2024 Node N is configured with an IPv6 address T (e.g., assigned to its loopback). When Node N receives a packet destined to S and S is a locally instantiated End.DB6 SID, Node N executes the following procedure: S01. When an SRH is processed { S02. If (Segments Left != 0) { S03. Send an ICMP Parameter Problem to the Source Address, Code 0 (Erroneous header field encountered), Pointer set to the Segments Left field, interrupt packet processing and discard the packet. S04. } S05. If (Upper-Layer header type == 4(IPv4) OR Upper-Layer header type == 41(IPv6) OR Upper-Layer header type == 143(Ethernet)) { S06. Remove the outer IPv6 header with all its extension headers. S07. Push the new IPv6 header with the SRv6 SIDs associated with the END.DB6 sid in an SRH. S08. Set outer IPv6 SA = T and outer IPv6 DA to the first SID in the segment list. S09. Set outer Payload Length, Traffic Class, Hop Limit, and Flow Label fields S10. Set the outer Next Header value S11. Submit the packet to the IPv6 module for transmission to First SID. S12. } else { S13. Process as per Section 4.1.1 of [RFC8986]. S14. } S15. } Note : S09. The Payload Length, Traffic Class, Hop Limit, and Next Header fields are set as per [RFC2473]. The Flow Label is computed as per [RFC6437]. 5. Interworking Procedures Here we will describe the control plane and data plane procedures by taking examples. Node n has a classic IPv6 loopback address An::1/128. One of the SID at node n with locator block B and function F is represented by B:n:F::sid_num. A SID list is represented as Rajesh, et al. Expires 11 April 2025 [Page 6] Internet-Draft SRv6 interdomain SIDs October 2024 where S1 is the first SID to visit, S2 is the second SID to visit and S3 is the last SID to visit along the SR path. 5.1. Option C Transport Interworking Here we will discuss the use-case mentioned under Section 3.1 ---IBGP----------EBGP--------IBGP--------EBGP-------IBGP------- | | | | | | +-----[2]------+ +-----[8]-----+ +------[14]-----+ | | | | | | | [4] +---+ [6] [10]+----+[12] | [1] AS1 | X | AS2 | X | AS3 [16] | [5] +---+ [7] [11]+----+[13] | | | | | | | +-----[3]-----+ +-----[9]-----+ +------[15]-----+ PE3 |---SRv6---| |---SRv6---| |---SRv6---| Figure 3: Option C Style Interworking Node [1] acts as ingress PE and Node [16] acts as egress PE. Nodes [2], [3], [8], [9], [14] and [15] are P routers. Nodes [4], [5], [6], [7], [10], [11], [12] and [13] are ASBR routers. A VPN route is advertised via service RRs between an egress PE(node 16) and an ingress PE (node 1). The example below shows IBGP-CT connection between border routers in each domain and single hop EBGP- CT for inter-domain connections. However the forwarding procedure for the sids remains the same irrespective of the the various inter- domain protocol extensions used to advertise the sids. AS1, AS2 and AS3 has SRTE policy for the required intent paths. Control plane example: For simplicity only one path is tracked. For a route if the next hop is one hop away then while advertising use END.REPLACE SID. For a route if the next hop is multi hop away then while advertising use END.REPLACEB6 SID. For single hop neighbor case, no encap required as it is just Rajesh, et al. Expires 11 April 2025 [Page 7] Internet-Draft SRv6 interdomain SIDs October 2024 replace and forward on specific link while in multihop case one encap will be required. Routing Protocol(RP) @16: * In ISIS advertise locator B:16::/48 and an END SID B:16::END::1. * BGP AFI=1,SAFI=128 originates a VPN route RD:V/v via A:16::1 and Prefix-SID attribute B:16:DT4::1. This route is advertised to service RR with color extended community red. * BGP originates prefix A:16::1 with color red to ASBR [12] with SRv6 SID B:16:END::1 since its the egress node. RP @12: * BGP receives the route A:16::1 over the ibgp session and readvertises with nexthop self to ASBR [10]. It advertises the SRv6 SID B:12:End.B6.Encaps::1 in the protocol extensions. As the prefix A:16::1 advertisement was received with End SID, this node allocates a End.B6.Encaps sid. RP @10: * BGP receives the route A:16::1 over the ebgp session and readvertises with nexthop self to ASBR [6]. it advertises the SRv6 SID B:10:REPLACE::1 in the protocol extensions. As the advertisement was received on a single hop e-bgp session this node allocates a REPLACE sid. RP @6: * BGP receives the route A:16::1 over the ibgp session and readvertises with nexthop self to ASBR [4].it advertises the SRv6 SID B:6:REPLACEB6::1 in the protocol extensions. As the advertisement was received on a multihop i-bgp session this node allocates a REPLACEB6 sid. RP @4: * BGP receives the route A:16::1 over the ebgp session and readvertises with nexthop self to PE [1].it advertises the SRv6 SID B:4:REPLACE::1 in the protocol extensions. As the advertisement was received on a single hop e-bgp session this node allocates a REPLACE sid. RP @1: * BGP receives the route A:16::1 with color red over the ibgp session. * BGP AFI=1, SAFI=128 learn service prefix RD:V/v, next hop A:16::1 and PrefixSID attribute TLV type 5 with SRv6 SID B:16:DT4 Rajesh, et al.

SL remains at 1. @12: IPv6 Table B:12:End.B6.Encaps::1 => Update DA with Next Segment in SRH(B:16:DT4::1) and do a fresh H.Encaps.red with SRH, where the new SIDs belong to the SR policy in AS3. @15: IPv6 Table B:15:END::1 => Update outer IPv6 packet DA with B:16:END::1 and forward towards [16]. @16: IPv6 Table B:16:END::1 => Decap the outer header and lookup the inner DA which results in B:16:DT4::1 lookup. DT4 lookup results in Decap and inner IPv4 packet DA lookup in the corresponding VRF. Note: At [1] we have optimized the solution by single Encapsulation with a SRH header.This can be supported by Most of the ASICS. Here we can even use two encapsulation, this mechanism will also work. 5.2. Option B service interworking Here we will discuss the use-case mentioned under Section 3.2 Rajesh, et al.

Node [4] is an option B style configured ABR/RR. Control Plane example: Routing Protocol(RP) @7: * BGP AFI=1,SAFI=128 originates a VPN route RD:V/v via A:7::1 and Prefix-SID attribute B:7:DT4::1. This route is advertised to service RR [4]. RP @4: * BGP receives the route over MP-IBGP/MP-EBGP session and readvertises with nexthop self to PE [1].it advertises the SRv6 SID B:4:DB6::1 in the Prefix-SID attribute TLV along with it. For all prefixes having SRv6 service SID B:7:DT4::1; the same DB6 SID B:4:DB6::1 will be reused. if a different service sid B:7:DT4::2 comes then a different DB6 SID B:4:DB6::2 will be allocated. This ensures that if the egress allocates per CE sid; the translation at border also ensure per CE sid. RP @1: * BGP AFI=1, SAFI=128 learn service prefix RD:V/v, next hop A:4::1 and PrefixSID attribute TLV type 5 with SRv6 SID B:4:DB6::1 Rajesh, et al.

IANA Considerations This document requires no IANA action. The authors will request an early allocation from the "SRv6 Endpoint Behaviors" sub-registry of the "Segment Routing Parameters" registry. 7. Security Considerations Because SR inter-working requires co-operation between inter-working domains, this document introduces no security consideration beyond those addressed in [RFC8402], [RFC8754] and [RFC8986]. 8.
