Abstract 
   
  This document provides a solution to extend LDP signaling in order to 
  allow set up and maintenance of Point-to-Multipoint Pseudowire (P2MP 
  PW). Such an extension of existing point to point Pseudowire is made 
  necessary by new applications. The document deals with the leaf-
  initiated P2MP PW setup and maintenance. The processing for setting 
  up a P2MP MS-PW is built on the processing for setting up a P2MP LSP 
  with LDP.

Internet Draft       Leaf-initiated P2MP PW Setup        February 2007 
                                     

1. Terminology 
   
  This document uses acronyms and terminologies defined in [RFC3036], 
  [RFC3985], [P2MP PW REQ] and [MS-PW REQ]. 
   
2. Preliminary Notes 
   
  The current version of the document does not cover: 
   
  - Source-initiated unidirectional P2MP PW setup, Source-initiated 
  grafting/pruning. This mode is described in a separate document 
  [SOURCE INIT P2MP PW]. 
   
  - The mechanism for the leaves to discover the P2MP FEC identifying 
  the P2MP MS-PW is out of the scope of this document. 
   
  - The P2MP PW Upstream Label Assignment required when the underlying 
  layer is a P2MP LSP. This mode and detailed procedures will be 
  described in a future version. This document describes LDP extensions 
  for setting up P2MP MS-PW where the PW segments are supported over 
  P2P PSN tunnels. 
   
  The Working Group feedback is required on the points described above. 
   
3. Introduction 
   
  [P2MP PW REQ] describes a set of requirements for setting up a P2MP 
  PW setup. In the MS-PW architecture, the underlying layer which 
  supports a PW segment belonging to the PW tree may be either a P2P or 
  a P2MP PSN tunnel.  
   
  This document describes LDP extensions for setting up P2MP MS-PW 
  where the PW segments are supported over P2P PSN tunnels.  
   
  For that purpose a new P2MP GID FEC element is defined to encode MS-
  PW parameters. The procedures for setting up a P2MP MS-PW are built 
  on LDP mechanisms for setting P2MP LSP [MLDP], where hops are here S-
  PEs and T-PEs. Therefore a leaf can join the tree by sending a Label 
  Map associated to this FEC towards the root.  
   
  The support of the underlying P2MP PSN tunnels will be described in a 
  future version. 
   
   
4. P2MP SS-PW Setup Mechanism 
   
  This section will be described in a future version.

         Figure 1 P2MP MS-PW over P2P PSN tunnels Reference Model 
   
  Figure 1 describes the P2MP MS-PW reference model which is extracted 
  from [P2MP PW REQ] where the PW segments are supported over 
  individual P2P PSN tunnels. Here in a P2MP MS-PW configuration the S-
  PE is responsible for switching a MS-PW from one input P2P segment to 
  one or several output P2P segments.  
   
  Referring to Figure 1 T-PE1 is the Ingress T-PE and T-PE2, T-PE3, T-
  PE4 and T-PE5 are the Egress T-PEs. The S-PE S-PE1 and S-PE2 play the 
  role of branch S-PE since they are in charge of switching the input 
  P2P PW1 and the P2P PW2 segment to respectively the output P2P PW3,4 
  and the output P2P PW5,6 segments.  
   
  Note that a P2MP MS-PW may obviously transit trough more than one S-
  PE along its path.

Internet Draft       Leaf-initiated P2MP PW Setup        February 2007 
                                     

5.2. Overview of the P2MP MS-PW Setup 
   
  The P2MP MS-PW setup relies on the use of the P2MP GID FEC Element 
  defined also in [SOURCE INIT P2MP PW]. The solution aims at setting 
  up a unidirectional P2MP MS-PW. 
   
  The principle proposed here relies on a leaf-initiated P2MP MS-PW 
  setup. In the proposed approach the leaf is assumed to know the P2MP 
  PW FEC which contains the source AII address and the P2MP Identifier. 
  The procedure used for the P2MP GID FEC discovery by the leaves is 
  out of scope of this document.  
   
  The document describes the solution to setup the P2MP MS-PW in the 
  case the PW segments are supported individually over a P2P PSN 
  tunnel. After a negotiation procedure between Ingress T-PE/S-PE and 
  S-PE/Egress T-PEs to verify their P2MP PW FEC capability, the Egress 
  T-PE sends a Label Map to its upstream PE selected to reach the SAII 
  specified in the P2MP GID FEC. At turn the S-PE carries on the 
  signalling procedure by sending if required a new Label Map towards 
  its next hop to reach the source SAII. In the MS-PW architecture, the 
  hop consists either in a branch S-PE or the Ingress T-PE. Each PE 
  receiving the P2MP FEC installs a forwarding state to map traffic 
  into the P2MP MS-PW. 
   
5.3. P2MP FEC Element for MS-PW Setup

  When the Egress T-PE sends Label Map message, it MAY optionally add 
  the TAII Leaf sub-TLV to carry the information regarding the leaves 
  which initiates the message. The leaves are the TAII configured on 
  this Egress T-PE. 
   
5.4. Configuration 
   
  After configuring on each T-PE the attached AIIs, it is assumed that 
  all the PEs (Ingress/Egress T-PEs and all S-PEs) maintain an AII PW 
  routing table which gives for each AII as entry the "next hop" to 
  reach that AII. This AII routing table can be filled manually or 
  updated dynamically by means of some extended routing protocol like 
  proposed in [DYN MS-PW]. The construction of the table is out of 
  scope of the present document. 
   
  Each PE relies on its AII PW routing table to select the next hop PE 
  (S-PE or T-PE) to reach a given AII. 
   
5.5. Capability Negotiation Procedure 
   
  To achieve the capability negotiation the solution MUST follow the 
  LDP capability advertisement mechanism described in [LDP CAPA]. New 
  code points are required and MUST be defined.

Internet Draft       Leaf-initiated P2MP PW Setup        February 2007 
                                     

  The PEs belonging to a given P2MP MS-PW MUST support the P2MP GID FEC 
  Element used by LDP to setup the P2MP MS-PW. 
   
  The PEs MUST also negotiate with their remote PEs the capability of 
  supporting the PW status TLV. This negotiation is a key element in 
  order to allow these PEs to announce some status information later 
  on. 
   
5.6. Signaling for P2MP MS-PW 
   
   
  This section is directly extracted from [MLDP] and adapted to the 
  setup of MS-PW. 
   
  It defines the rules for the processing and propagation of the P2MP 
  FEC Element for the Leaf-initiated P2MP MS-PW setup. The following 
  notation is derived from [MLDP] and is used in the processing rules: 
   
  1.  P2MP GID FEC Element <X, Y, Y'>: a FEC Element with SAII X, AGI Y 
  and P2MP Id Y'. 
   
  2.  P2MP PW Label Map <X, Y, Y', L>: a Label Map message with a FEC 
  TLV with a single P2MP GID FEC Element <X, Y, Y'> and Label TLV with 
  label L. 
   
  3.  P2MP PW Label Withdraw <X, Y, Y', L>: a Label Withdraw message 
  with a FEC TLV with a single P2MP GID FEC Element <X, Y, Y'> and 
  Label TLV with label L. 
   
  4.  P2MP MS-PW <X, Y, Y'> (or simply <X, Y, Y'>): a P2MP MS-PW with 
  SAII X, AGI Y and P2MP Id Y'. 
   
  5.  The notation L' -> {<I1, L1> <I2, L2> ..., <In, Ln>} on branch S-
  PE S means that on receiving a packet with label L', S makes n copies 
  of the packet.  For copy i of the packet, S swaps L' with Li and 
  sends it out over interface Ii. 
   
  The procedures below are organized by the role which the PE plays in 
  the P2MP MS-PW. T-PE Z knows that it is an Egress T-PE by a discovery 
  process which is outside the scope of this document. A T-PE is 
  defined as an Egress T-PE if one or several leaf AIIs are configured. 
  During the course of protocol operation, the Ingress T-PE recognizes 
  its role because it owns the SAII of the PW tree. 
   
5.6.1. Label Map 
   
  The following lists procedures for generating and processing P2MP 
  Label Map messages for PEs participating in a P2MP MS-PW.  
    
  For the approach described here we use downstream assigned labels.

Internet Draft       Leaf-initiated P2MP PW Setup        February 2007 
                                     

5.6.1.1. Determining one's 'upstream PE' 
   
  A PE Z that is part of P2MP MS-PW <X, Y, Y'> determines the T-LDP 
  peer U which lies on the best path from Z to the SAII. The path 
  selection is achieved by means of the AII PW routing table.  U is Z's 
  "Upstream PE" for <X, Y, Y'>. 
   
   
5.6.1.2. Egress T-PE Operation 
   
  An Egress T-PE Z of P2MP MS-PW <X, Y, Y'> determines its upstream PE 
  U for <X, Y, Y'>, allocates a label L, and sends a P2MP PW Label Map 
  <X, Y, Y', L> to U. 
   
   
5.6.1.3. Branch S-PE Operation 
   
  Suppose a branch S-PE Z receives a P2MP PW Label Map <X, Y, Y', L> 
  from LDP peer T. Z checks whether it already has state for <X, Y, 
  Y'>.  If not, Z allocates a label L', and installs state to swap L' 
  with L over interface I associated with peer T. Z also determines its 
  upstream PE U for <X, Y, Y'> and sends a P2MP PW Label Map <X, Y, L'> 
  to U. 
   
  If Z already has state for <X, Y, Y'>, then Z does not send a Label 
  Map message for P2MP MS-PW <X, Y, Y'>.  All that Z needs to do in 
  this case is to update its forwarding state.  Assuming its old 
  forwarding state was L'-> {<I1, L1> <I2, L2> ..., <In, Ln>}, its new 
  forwarding state becomes L'-> {<I1, L1> <I2, L2> ..., <In, Ln>, <I, 
  L>}. 
   
5.6.1.4. Ingress T-PE Operation 
   
  Suppose the Ingress T-PE Z receives a P2MP Label Map <X, Y, Y', L> 
  from peer T. Z checks whether it already has forwarding state for <X, 
  Y, Y'>.  If not, Z creates forwarding state to push label L onto the 
  traffic that Z wants to forward over the P2MP MS-PW. 
   
  If Z already has forwarding state for <X, Y, Y'>, then Z adds "push 
  label L, send over interface I" to the nexthop, where I is the 
  interface associated with peer T. 
   
5.6.2. Label Withdraw 
   
  The following lists procedures for generating and processing P2MP PW 
  Label Withdraw messages for PEs that participate in a P2MP MS-PW.   
   
5.6.2.1. Egress T-PE Operation 
   
   
  If an Egress T-PE Z discovers that it has no longer leaves AII 
  belonging to the P2MP MS-PW, it SHOULD send a P2MP PW Label Withdraw

  <X, Y, Y', L> to its upstream PE U for <X, Y, Y'>, where L is the 
  label it had previously advertised to U for <X, Y, Y'>. 
   
5.6.2.2. Branch S-PE Operation 
   
  If a branch S-PE Z receives a P2MP PW Label Withdraw message <X, Y, 
  L> from a node W, it deletes label L from its forwarding state, and 
  sends a P2MP PW Label Release message with label L to W. 
   
  If deleting L from Z's forwarding state for P2MP MS-PW <X, Y, Y'> 
  results in no state remaining for <X, Y, Y'>, then Z propagates the 
  P2MP PW Label Withdraw for <X, Y, Y'>, to its upstream T, by sending 
  a P2MP PW Label Withdraw <X, Y, Y', L1> where L1 is the label Z had 
  previously advertised to T for <X, Y, Y'>. 
   
5.6.2.3. Ingress T-PE Operation 
   
  The procedure when the Ingress T-PE of a P2MP MS-PW receives a P2MP 
  PW Label Withdraw message are the same as for branch S-PE, except 
  that it would not propagate the P2MP PW Label Withdraw upstream (as 
  it has no upstream). 
   
5.6.2.4. Upstream PE Change 
   
  If, for a given PE Z participating in a P2MP MS-PW <X, Y, Y'>, the 
  upstream PE changes, say from U to U', then Z MUST update its 
  forwarding state by deleting the state for label L, allocating a new 
  label, L', for <X,Y, Y'>, and installing the forwarding state for L'. 
  In addition Z MUST send a P2MP PW Label Map <X, Y, Y', L'> to U' and 
  send a P2MP PW Label Withdraw <X, Y, Y', L> to U.  
   
   
5.7. Using TAII Leaf Sub-TLV 
   
  Section TBD 
   
  The TAII Leaf sub-TLV MAY be optionally used when a leaf joins the PW 
  tree to announce to the source that it is part from the PW tree. If 
  this option is chosen, the Egress T-PE adds to the FEC Element this 
  TAII sub-TLV in the Label Map message. As soon as in the source 
  direction a Label Map is not required since for instance a S-PE 
  already maintains a state for this MS-PW tree, the information 
  related to the Leaf TAIIs is retrieved from the TAII Leaf sub-TLV and 
  is propagated by means of a LDP Notification message up to the 
  corresponding Ingress T-PE.   
   
6. Security Considerations 
   
  This section will be added in a future version.

7. IANA Considerations 
   
7.1. LDP FEC Type 
   
  This document uses a new FEC element type FEC P2MP GID , from the 
  "FEC Type Name Space" for the label Distribution Protocol (LDP RFC 
  3036). 
   
  The following values are suggested for assignment: 
   
  FEC P2MP GID : 0x83 
   
7.2. LDP TLV Type 
   
  This document uses several new LDP TLV types; IANA already maintains 
  a registry of name "TLV TYPE NAME SPACE" defined by [RFC3036]. The 
  following values are suggested for assignment: 
   
  Sub-TLV Leaf TAII 
   
   
7.3. LDP Status Codes 
   
  This document uses several new LDP status codes; IANA already 
  maintains a registry of name "STATUS CODE NAME SPACE" defined by 
  RFC3036. The following values are suggested for assignment: 
   
     Range/Value     E     Description                       Reference 
     ------------- -----   ----------------------            ---------
