RFC 8518                 LFA Selection for MHPs               March 20191.  Introduction   A framework for the development of IP Fast Reroute (FRR) mechanisms   is detailed in [RFC5714].  The use of LFAs for IP FRR is specified in   [RFC5286].  If a prefix is advertised by more than one router, that   prefix is called a "multi-homed prefix (MHP)".  MHPs generally occur   for prefixes obtained from outside the routing domain by multiple   routers, for subnets on links where the subnet is announced from   multiple ends of the link, and for prefixes advertised by multiple   routers to provide resiliency.Section 6.1 of [RFC5286] describes a method to determine LFAs for   MHPs.  This document describes a procedure using explicit   inequalities that can be used by a computing router to evaluate a   neighbor as a potential alternate for an MHP.  The results obtained   are equivalent to those obtained using the method described inSection 6.1 of [RFC5286].Section 6.3 of [RFC5286] discusses complications associated with   computing LFAs for MHPs in OSPF.  This document provides detailed   criteria for evaluating potential alternates for external prefixes   advertised by OSPF ASBRs, as well as explicit inequalities.   This document also provides clarifications and additional   considerations to [RFC5286] to address a few coverage and operational   observations.  These observations are concerned with 1) the IS-IS ATT   (attach) bit in the Level 1 (L1) area, 2) links provisioned with   MAX_METRIC (seeSection 5.1) for traffic engineering (TE) purposes,   and 3) multi-topology (MT) IGP deployments.  These are elaborated in   detail in Sections3.2 and5.   This specification uses the same terminology introduced in [RFC5714]   to represent LFA and builds on the notation for inequalities used in   [RFC5286] to compute LFAs for MHPs.Sarkar, et al.

LFA Inequalities for MHPs   This document proposes the following set of LFA inequalities for   selecting the most appropriate LFAs for MHPs.  Distance_opt(X,Y)   (called "D_opt(X,Y)" in this document) is defined in [RFC5714] and is   nothing but the metric sum of the shortest path from X to Y.   Cost(X,Y), introduced in this document, is defined as the metric   value of prefix Y from the prefix advertising node X.  These LFAs can   be derived from the inequalities in [RFC5286] combined with the   observation that D_opt(N,P) = Min (D_opt(N,PO_i) + Cost(PO_i,P)) over   all PO_i.Sarkar, et al.

RFC 8518                 LFA Selection for MHPs               March 2019   Link-Protecting LFAs:      A neighbor N can provide an LFA if and only if      D_opt(N,PO_i)+ Cost(PO_i,P) < D_opt(N,S) +                                    D_opt(S,PO_best) + Cost(PO_best,P)   Link-Protecting + Downstream-paths-only LFAs:      A subset of loop-free alternates are downstream paths that must      meet a more restrictive condition that is applicable to more      complex failure scenarios.

In other words, N's path to MHP P must not go      through E (where N is the neighbor providing a loop-free      alternate).      D_opt(N,PO_i)+ Cost(PO_i,P) < D_opt(N,E) +                                    D_opt(E,PO_best) + Cost(PO_best,P)      Where:      P           -  The MHP being evaluated for computing alternates      S           -  The computing router      N           -  The alternate router being evaluated      E           -  The primary next hop on the shortest path from S to                     prefix P      PO_i        -  The specific prefix-originating router being                     evaluated      PO_best     -  The prefix-originating router on the shortest path                     from the computing router S to prefix P      Cost(X,P)   -  The cost of reaching the prefix P from prefix                     originating node X      D_opt(X,Y)  -  The distance on the shortest path from node X to                     node YSarkar, et al.

RFC 8518                 LFA Selection for MHPs               March 20193.  LFA Selection for MHPs   To compute a valid LFA for a given MHP P, a computing router S MUST,   for each alternate neighbor N, follow one of the appropriate   procedures below once for each remote node that originated the prefix   P.   Link-Protecting LFAs:   1.  If, in addition to being an alternate neighbor, N is also a       prefix originator of P,       A.  Select N as an LFA for prefix P (irrespective of the metric           advertised by N for the prefix P).   2.  Else, evaluate the link-protecting LFA inequality for P with N as       the alternate neighbor.       A.  If the LFA inequality condition is met, select N as an LFA           for prefix P.       B.  Else, N is not an LFA for prefix P.   Link-Protecting + Downstream-paths-only LFAs:   1.  Evaluate the link-protecting + downstream-paths-only LFA       inequality for P with N as the alternate neighbor.       A.  If the LFA inequality condition is met, select N as an LFA           for prefix P.       B.  Else, N is not an LFA for prefix P.   Node-Protecting LFAs:   1.  If, in addition to being an alternate neighbor, N is also a       prefix originator of P,       A.  Select N as an LFA for prefix P (irrespective of the metric           advertised by N for the prefix P).   2.  Else, evaluate the appropriate node-protecting LFA inequality for       P with N as the alternate neighbor.       A.  If the LFA inequality condition is met, select N as an LFA           for prefix P.       B.  Else, N is not an LFA for prefix P.Sarkar, et al.

RFC 8518                 LFA Selection for MHPs               March 2019   If an alternate neighbor N is also one of the prefix originators of   prefix P, it is guaranteed that N will not loop back packets destined   for prefix P to computing router S.  Therefore, N MUST be chosen as a   valid LFA for prefix P without evaluating any of the inequalities inSection 2 as long as a downstream-paths-only LFA is not desired.  To   ensure such a neighbor N also provides a downstream-paths-only LFA,   router S MUST also evaluate the downstream-paths-only LFA inequality   specified inSection 2 for neighbor N and ensure router N satisfies   the inequality.   However, if N is not a prefix originator of P, the computing router   MUST evaluate one of the corresponding LFA inequalities defined inSection 2 once for each remote node that originated the prefix.  If   the inequality is satisfied by the neighbor N, router S MUST choose   neighbor N as one of the valid LFAs for the prefix P.   For more specific rules, please refer toSection 4.3.1.  Improved Coverage with Simplified Approach to MHPsSection 6.1 of the LFA base specification [RFC5286] recommends that a   router computes the alternate next hop for an IGP MHP by considering   alternate paths via all routers that have announced that prefix.  The   same has been elaborated with appropriate inequalities in the   previous section.  However,Section 6.1 of [RFC5286] also allows for   the router to simplify the MHP calculation by assuming that the MHP   is solely attached to the router that was its pre-failure optimal   point of attachment, at the expense of potentially lower coverage.   If an implementation chooses to simplify the MHP calculation by   assuming that the MHP is solely attached to the router that was its   pre-failure optimal point of attachment, the procedure described in   this memo can potentially improve coverage for ECMP MHPs without   incurring extra computational cost.   This document improves the above approach to provide loop-free   alternatives without any additional cost for ECMP MHPs as described   in the example network presented in Figure 1.  The approach specified   here may also be applicable for handling default routes as explained   inSection 3.2.Sarkar, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 7]

With a simplified approach taken as specified inSection 6.1 of   [RFC5286], prefix P will get only a link-protecting LFA through the   neighbor C while a node-protection path is available through neighbor   A.  In this scenario, E and F both are pre-failure optimal points of   attachment and share the same primary next hop.  Hence, an   implementation MAY compare the kind of protection A provides to F   (link and node protection) with the kind of protection C provides to   E (link protection) and inherit the better alternative to prefix P.   In this case, the better alternative is A.   However, in the example network presented in Figure 2, prefix P has   an ECMP through both node E and node F with cost 20.  Though it has   two pre-failure optimal points of attachment, the primary next hop to   each pre-failure optimal point of attachment is different.  In this   case, prefix P MUST inherit the corresponding LFAs of each primary   next hop calculated for the router advertising the same.  In   Figure 2, that would be the LFA for node E and node F, i.e., node N1   and node N2, respectively.Sarkar, et al.               Standards Track                    [Page 8]

IS-IS ATT Bit Considerations   Per [RFC1195], a default route needs to be added in the Level 1 (L1)   router to the closest reachable Level 1 / Level 2 (L1/L2) router in   the network advertising the ATT (attach) bit in its LSP-0 fragment.   All L1 routers in the area would do this during the decision process   with the next hop of the default route set to the adjacent router   through which the closest L1/L2 router is reachable.  The LFA base   specification [RFC5286] does not specify any procedure for computing   LFA for a default route in the IS-IS L1 area.  This document   specifies that a node can consider a default route is being   advertised from the border L1/L2 router where the ATT bit is set and   can do LFA computation for that default route.  But, when multiple   ECMP L1/L2 routers are reachable in an L1 area, corresponding best   LFAs SHOULD be computed for each primary next hop associated with the   default route as this would be similar to the ECMP MHP example   described inSection 3.1.  Considerations specified in Sections3 and   3.1 are applicable for default routes if the default route is   considered an ECMP MHP.  Note that this document doesn't alter any   ECMP handling rules or computation of LFAs for ECMP in general as   laid out in [RFC5286].Sarkar, et al.

RFC 8518                 LFA Selection for MHPs               March 20194.  LFA Selection for Multi-Homed External Prefixes   Redistribution of external routes into IGP is required 1) when two   different networks get merged into one or 2) during protocol   migrations.   During LFA calculation, alternate LFA next hops to reach the best   ASBR could be used as LFA for the routes redistributed via that ASBR.   When there is no LFA available to the best ASBR, it may be desirable   to consider the other ASBRs (referred to as "alternate ASBRs"   hereafter) redistributing the external routes for LFA selection as   defined in [RFC5286] and leverage the advantage of having multiple   redistributing nodes in the network.4.1.  IS-IS   LFA evaluation for multi-homed external prefixes in IS-IS is the same   as the multi-homed internal prefixes.  Inequalities described inSection 2 would also apply to multi-homed external prefixes.4.2.  OSPF   The LFA base specification [RFC5286] describes mechanisms to apply   inequalities to find the loop-free alternate neighbor.  Additional   rules have to be applied in selecting the alternate ASBR for LFA   consideration due to the external route calculation rules imposed by   [RFC2328].   This document defines inequalities specifically for alternate loop-   free ASBR evaluation.  These inequalities are based on those in   [RFC5286].4.2.1.  Rules to Select Alternate ASBRs   The process to select an alternate ASBR is best explained using the   rules below.  The process below is applied when a primary ASBR for   the concerned prefix is chosen and there is an alternate ASBR   originating the same prefix.   1.  If RFC1583Compatibility is disabled:       A.  If primary ASBR and alternate ASBR belong to intra-area           non-backbone, go to step 2.       B.  If primary ASBR and alternate ASBR belong to intra-area           backbone and/or inter-area path, go to step 2.Sarkar, et al.               Standards Track                   [Page 10]

Compare cost types (type 1 / type 2) advertised by alternate ASBR       and primary ASBR:       A.  If not the same type, skip alternate ASBR and consider next           ASBR.       B.  If the same, proceed to step 3.   3.  If cost types are type 1, compare costs advertised by alternate       ASBR and primary ASBR:       A.  If costs are the same, then program ECMP FRR and return.       B.  Else, go to step 5.   4.  If cost types are type 2, compare costs advertised by alternate       ASBR and primary ASBR:       A.  If costs are different, skip alternate ASBR and consider next           ASBR.       B.  If costs are the same, proceed to step 4C to compare costs to           reach ASBR/forwarding address.       C.  If costs to reach ASBR/forwarding address are also the same,           program ECMP FRR and return.       D.  If costs to reach ASBR/forwarding address are different, go           to step 5.   5.  Compare route types (type 5 and type 7) for alternate ASBR and       primary ASBR:       A.  If route types are the same, check if route p-bit and           forwarding address field for routes from both ASBRs match.           If p-bit and forwarding address match, proceed to step 6.  If           not, skip this alternate ASBR and consider next ASBR.       B.  If route types are not the same, skip this alternate ASBR and           consider next alternate ASBR.   6.  Apply inequality on alternate ASBR.Sarkar, et al.               Standards Track                   [Page 11]

RFC 8518                 LFA Selection for MHPs               March 20194.2.1.1.  Multiple ASBRs Belonging to Different Areas   When RFC1583Compatibility is set to "disabled", OSPF [RFC2328]   defines certain rules of preference to choose the ASBRs.  While   selecting an alternate ASBR for loop evaluation for LFA, these rules   should be applied to ensure that the alternate neighbor does not   cause looping.   When there are multiple ASBRs belonging to different areas   advertising the same prefix, pruning rules as defined inSection 16.4   of [RFC2328] are applied.  The alternate ASBRs pruned using these   rules are not considered for LFA evaluation.4.2.1.2.  Type 1 and Type 2 Costs   If there are multiple ASBRs not pruned via the rules described inSection 4.2.1.1, the cost type advertised by the ASBRs is compared.   ASBRs advertising type 1 costs are preferred, and the type 2 costs   are pruned.  If two ASBRs advertise the same type 2 cost, the   alternate ASBRs are considered along with their cost to reach the   ASBR/forwarding address for evaluation.  If the two ASBRs have the   same type 2 cost as well as the same cost to reach the ASBR, ECMP FRR   is programmed.  When there are multiple ASBRs advertising the same   type 2 cost for the prefix, primary Autonomous System (AS) external   route calculation, as described inSection 16.4.1 of [RFC2328],   selects the route with the lowest type 2 cost.  ASBRs advertising a   different type 2 cost (higher cost) are not considered for LFA   evaluation.  Alternate ASBRs advertising a type 2 cost for the prefix   but not chosen as primary due to a higher cost to reach ASBR are   considered for LFA evaluation.  The inequalities for evaluating   alternate ASBR for type 1 and type 2 costs are same, as the alternate   ASBRs with different type 2 costs are pruned and the evaluation is   based on ASBRS with equal type 2 costs.4.2.1.3.  RFC1583Compatibility is Set to "Enabled"   When RFC1583Compatibility is set to "enabled", multiple ASBRs   belonging to different areas advertising the same prefix are chosen   based on cost and hence are valid alternate ASBRs for the LFA   evaluation.  The inequalities described inSection 4.2.2 are   applicable based on forwarding address and cost type advertised in   the external Link State Advertisement (LSA).Sarkar, et al.

RFC 8518                 LFA Selection for MHPs               March 20194.2.1.4.  Type 7 Routes   Type 5 routes always get preference over type 7, and the alternate   ASBRs chosen for LFA calculation should belong to the same type.   Among type 7 routes, routes with the p-bit and forwarding address set   have a higher preference than routes without these attributes.   Alternate ASBRs selected for LFA comparison should have the same   p-bit and forwarding address attributes.4.2.2.  Inequalities to Be Applied for Alternate ASBR Selection   The alternate ASBRs selected using the mechanism described inSection 4.2.1 are evaluated for loop-free criteria using the   inequalities below.4.2.2.1.

LFA Extended Procedures   This section explains additional considerations to the LFA base   specification [RFC5286].5.1.  Links with IGP MAX_METRIC   Sections3.5 and3.6 of [RFC5286] describe procedures for excluding   nodes and links from use in alternate paths based on the maximum link   metric.  If these procedures are strictly followed, there are   situations, described below, where the only potential alternate   available that satisfies the basic loop-free condition will not be   considered as alternative.  This document refers to the maximum link   metric in IGPs as the MAX_METRIC.  MAX_METRIC is called "maximum link   metric" when defined for IS-IS in [RFC5305] and "MaxLinkMetric" when   defined for OSPF in [RFC6987].                             +---+  10  +---+  10 +---+                             | S |------|N1 |-----|D1 |                             +---+      +---+     +---+                               |                    |                            10 |                 10 |                               |MAX_METRIC(N2 to S) |                               |                    |                               |       +---+        |                               +-------|N2 |--------+                                       +---+                                     10  |                                       +---+                                       |D2 |                                       +---+                    Figure 3: Link with IGP MAX_METRIC   In the simple example network in Figure 3, all the links have a cost   of 10 in both directions, except for the link between S and N2.  The   S-N2 link has a cost of 10 in the forward direction, i.e., from S to   N2, and a cost of MAX_METRIC (0xffffff /2^24 - 1 for IS-IS and 0xffff   for OSPF) in the reverse direction, i.e., from N2 to S for a specific   end-to-end TE requirement of the operator.  At node S, D1 is   reachable through N1 with a cost of 20, and D2 is reachable through   N2 with a cost of 20.  Even though neighbor N2 satisfies the basic   loop-free condition (inequality 1 of [RFC5286]) for D1, S's neighborSarkar, et al.               Standards Track                   [Page 15]

RFC 8518                 LFA Selection for MHPs               March 2019   N2 could be excluded as a potential alternative because of the   current exclusions specified in Sections3.5 and3.6 of [RFC5286].   But, the primary traffic destined to D2 continues to use the link;   hence, irrespective of the reverse metric in this case, the same link   MAY be used as a potential LFA for D1.   Alternatively, the reverse metric of the link MAY be configured with   MAX_METRIC-1 so that the link can be used as an alternative while   meeting the operator's TE requirements and without having to update   the router to fix this particular issue.5.2.  MT Considerations   Sections6.2 and6.3.2 of [RFC5286] state that multi-topology OSPF   and IS-IS are out of scope for that specification.  This memo   clarifies and describes the applicability.   In multi-topology IGP deployments, for each MT-ID, a separate   shortest path tree (SPT) is built with topology-specific adjacencies   so the LFA principles laid out in [RFC5286] are actually applicable   for MT IS-IS [RFC5120] LFA SPF.  The primary difference in this case   is identifying the eligible set of neighbors for each LFA   computation; this is done per MT-ID.  The eligible set for each MT-ID   is determined by the presence of IGP adjacency from the source to the   neighboring node on that MT-ID apart from the administrative   restrictions and other checks laid out in [RFC5286].  The same is   also applicable for MT-OSPF [RFC4915] or different AFs in multi-   instance OSPFv3 [RFC5838].   However, for MT IS-IS, if a "standard unicast topology" is used with   MT-ID #0 [RFC5120] and both IPv4 [RFC5305] and IPv6 routes/AFs   [RFC5308] are present, then the condition of network congruency is   applicable for LFA computation as well.  Network congruency here   refers to having the same address families provisioned on all the   links and all the nodes of the network with MT-ID #0.  Here, with a   single-decision process, both IPv4 and IPv6 next hops are computed   for all the prefixes in the network.  Similarly, with one LFA   computation from all eligible neighbors per [RFC5286], all potential   alternatives can be computed.6.

Security Considerations   The existing OSPF security considerations continue to apply, as do   the recommended manual key management mechanisms specified in   [RFC7474].  The existing security considerations for IS-IS also   continue to apply, as specified in [RFC5304] and [RFC5310] and   extended by [RFC7645] for Keying and Authentication for Routing   Protocols (KARP).  This document does not change any of the discussed   protocol specifications (i.e., [RFC1195], [RFC5120], [RFC2328], and   [RFC5838]); therefore, the security considerations of the LFA base   specification [RFC5286] continue to apply.8.
