All Rights Reserved.Abstract   This memo presents an approach for building core Virtual Private   Network (VPN) services in a service provider's MPLS backbone.  This   approach uses Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) running in the   backbone to provide premium services in addition to best effort   services. The central vision is for the service provider to provide a   virtual router service to their customers. The keystones of this   architecture are ease of configuration, user security, network   security, dynamic neighbor discovery, scaling and the use of existing   routing protocols as they exist today without any modifications.1.

RFC 2917                       Core VPNs                  September 20002. Introduction   This memo describes an approach for building IP VPN services out of   the backbone of the SP's network. Broadly speaking, two possible   approaches present themselves: the overlay model and the virtual   router approach. The overlay model is based on overloading some   semantic(s) of existing routing protocols to carry reachability   information.  In this document, we focus on the virtual router   service.   The approach presented here does not depend on any modifications of   any existing routing protocols. Neighbor discovery is aided by the   use of  an emulated LAN and is achieved by the use of ARP. This memo   makes a concerted effort to draw the line between the SP and the PNA:   the SP owns and manages layer 1 and layer 2 services while layer 3   services belong to and are manageable by the PNA. By the provisioning   of fully logically independent routing domains, the PNA has been   given the flexibility to use private and unregistered addresses. Due   to the use of private LSPs and the use of VPNID encapsulation using   label stacks over shared LSPs, data security is not an issue.   The approach espoused in this memo differs from that described inRFC2547 [Rosen1] in that no specific routing protocol has been   overloaded to carry VPN routes.RFC 2547 specifies a way to modify   BGP to carry VPN unicast routes across the SP's backbone. To carry   multicast routes, further architectural work will be necessary.3. Virtual Routers   A virtual router is a collection of threads, either static or   dynamic, in a routing device, that provides routing and forwarding   services much like physical routers. A virtual router need not be a   separate operating system process (although it could be); it simply   has to provide the illusion that a dedicated router is available to   satisfy the needs of the network(s) to which it is connected. A   virtual router, like its physical counterpart, is an element in a   routing domain. The other routers in this domain could be physical or   virtual routers themselves. Given that the virtual router connects to   a specific (logically discrete) routing domain and that a physical   router can support multiple virtual routers, it follows that a   physical router supports multiple (logically discreet) routing   domains.   From the user (VPN customer) standpoint, it is imperative that the   virtual router be as equivalent to a physical router as possible. In   other words, with very minor and very few exceptions, the virtual   router should appear for all purposes (configuration, management,   monitoring and troubleshooting) like a dedicated physical router. TheMuthukrishnan & Malis        Informational                      [Page 2]

RFC 2917                       Core VPNs                  September 2000   main motivation behind this requirement is to avoid upgrading or re-   configuring the large installed base of routers and to avoid   retraining of network administrators.   The aspects of a router that a virtual router needs to emulate are:   1. Configuration of any combination of routing protocols   2. Monitoring of the network   3. Troubleshooting.   Every VPN has a logically independent routing domain. This enhances   the SP's ability to offer a fully flexible virtual router service   that can fully serve the SP's customer without requiring physical   per-VPN routers. This means that the SP's "hardware" investments,   namely routers and links between them, can be re-used by multiple   customers.4. Objectives   1. Easy, scalable configuration of VPN endpoints in the service      provider network. At most, one piece of configuration should be      necessary when a CE is added.   2. No use of SP resources that are globally unique and hard to get      such as IP addresses and subnets.   3. Dynamic discovery of VRs (Virtual Routers) in the SP's cloud. This      is an optional, but extremely valuable "keep it simple" goal.   4. Virtual Routers should be fully configurable and monitorable by      the VPN network administrator. This provides the PNA with the      flexibility to either configure the VPN themselves or outsource      configuration tasks to the SP.   5. Quality of data forwarding should be configurable on a VPN-by-VPN      basis.  This should translate to continuous (but perhaps discrete)      grades of service.  Some examples include best effort, dedicated      bandwidth, QOS, and policy based forwarding services.   6. Differentiated services should be configurable on a VPN-by-VPN      basis, perhaps based on LSPs set up for exclusive use for      forwarding data traffic in the VPN.Muthukrishnan & Malis        Informational                      [Page 3]

RFC 2917                       Core VPNs                  September 2000   7. Security of internet routers extended to virtual routers. This      means that the virtual router's data forwarding and routing      functions should be as secure as a dedicated, private physical      router.  There should be no unintended leak of information (user      data and reachability information) from one routing domain to      another.   8. Specific routing protocols should not be mandated between virtual      routers. This is critical to ensuring the VPN customer can setup      the network and policies as the customer sees fit. For example,      some protocols are strong in filtering, while others are strong in      traffic engineering. The VPN customer might want to exploit both      to achieve "best of breed" network quality.   9. No special extensions to existing routing protocols such as BGP,      RIP, OSPF, ISIS etc. This is critical to allowing the future      addition of other services such as NHRP and multicast. In      addition, as advances and addenda are made to existing protocols      (such as traffic engineering extensions to ISIS and OSPF), they      can be easily incorporated into the VPN implementation.5. Architectural Requirements   The service provider network must run some form of multicast routing   to all nodes that will have VPN connections and to nodes that must   forward multicast datagrams for virtual router discovery. A specific   multicast routing protocol is not mandated. An SP may run MOSPF or   DVMRP or any other protocol.6. Architectural Outline   1.  Every VPN is assigned a VPNID which is unique within the SP's       network.  This identifier unambiguously identifies the VPN with       which a packet or connection is associated. The VPNID of zero is       reserved; it is associated with and represents the public       internet.  It is recommended, but not required that these VPN       identifiers will be compliant withRFC 2685 [Fox].   2.  The VPN service is offered in the form of a Virtual Router       service.  These VRs reside in the SPED and are as such confined       to the edge of the SP's cloud. The VRs will use the SP's network       for data and control packet forwarding but are otherwise       invisible outside the SPEDs.   3.  The "size" of the VR contracted to the VPN in a given SPED is       expressed by the quantity of IP resources such as routing       interfaces, route filters, routing entries etc. This is entirely       under the control of the SP and provides the fine granularityMuthukrishnan & Malis        Informational                      [Page 4]

RFC 2917                       Core VPNs                  September 2000       that the SP requires to offer virtually infinite grades of VR       service on a per-SPED level. [Example: one SPED may be the       aggregating point (say headquarters of the corporation) for a       given VPN and a number of other SPEDs may be access points       (branch offices). In this case, the SPED connected to the       headquarters may be contracted to provide a large VR while the       SPEDs connected to the branch offices may house small, perhaps       stub VRs]. This provision also allows the SP to design the       network with an end goal of distributing the load among the       routers in the network.   4.  One indicator of the VPN size is the number of SPEDs in the SP's       network that have connections to CPE routers in that VPN.  In       this respect, a VPN with many sites that need to be connected is       a "large" VPN whereas one with a few sites is a "small" VPN.       Also, it is conceivable that a VPN grows or shrinks in size over       time. VPNs may even merge due to corporate mergers, acquisitions       and partnering agreements. These changes are easy to accommodate       in this architecture, as globally unique IP resources do not have       to be dedicated or assigned to VPNs. The number of SPEDs is not       limited by any artificial configuration limits.   5.  The SP owns and manages Layer 1 and Layer 2 entities. To be       specific, the SP controls physical switches or routers, physical       links, logical layer 2 connections (such as DLCI in Frame Relay       and VPI/VCI in ATM) and LSPs (and their assignment to specific       VPNs).  In the context of VPNs, it is the SP's responsibility to       contract and assign layer 2 entities to specific VPNs.   6.  Layer 3 entities belong to and are manageable by the PNA.       Examples of these entities include IP interfaces, choice of       dynamic routing protocols or static routes, and routing       interfaces. Note that although Layer 3 configuration logically       falls under the PNA's area of responsibility, it is not necessary       for the PNA to execute it.  It is quite viable for the PNA to       outsource the IP administration of the virtual routers to the       Service Provider.  Regardless of who assumes responsibility for       configuration and monitoring, this approach provides a full       routing domain view to the PNA and empowers the PNA to design the       network to achieve intranet, extranet and traffic engineering       goals.   7.  The VPNs can be managed as if physical routers rather than VRs       were deployed.  Therefore, management may be performed using SNMP       or other similar methods or directly at the VR console (VRC).Muthukrishnan & Malis        Informational                      [Page 5]

RFC 2917                       Core VPNs                  September 2000   8.  Industry-standard troubleshooting tools such as 'ping,'       'traceroute,' in a routing domain domain comprised exclusively of       dedicated physical routers.  Therefore, monitoring and .bp       troubleshooting may be performed using SNMP or similar methods,       but may also include the use of these standard tools. Again, the       VRC may be used for these purposes just like any physical router.   9.  Since the VRC is visible to the user, router specific security       checks need to be put in place to make sure the VPN user is       allowed access to Layer 3 resources in that VPN only and is       disallowed from accessing physical resources in the router.  Most       routers achieve this through the use of database views.   10. The VRC is available to the SP as well. If configuration and       monitoring has been outsourced to the SP, the SP may use the VRC       to accomplish these tasks as if it were the PNA.   11. The VRs in the SPEDs form the VPN in the SP's network. Together,       they represent a virtual routing domain. They dynamically       discover each other by utilizing an emulated LAN resident in the       SP's network.   Each VPN in the SP's network is assigned one and only one multicast   address. This address is chosen from the administratively scoped   range (239.192/14) [Meyer] and the only requirement is that the   multicast address can be uniquely mapped to a specific VPN. This is   easily automated by routers by the use of a simple function to   unambiguously map a VPNid to the multicast address.  Subscription to   this multicast address allows a VR to discover and be discovered by   other VRs. It is important to note that the multicast address does   not have to be configured.   12. Data forwarding may be done in one of several ways:      1. An LSP with best-effort characteristics that all VPNS can use.      2. An LSP dedicated to a VPN and traffic engineered by the VPN         customer.      3. A private LSP with differentiated characteristics.      4. Policy based forwarding on a dedicated L2 Virtual Circuit   The choice of the preferred method is negotiable between the SP and   the VPN customer, perhaps constituting part of the SLA between them.   This allows the SP to offer different grades of service to different   VPN customers.Muthukrishnan & Malis        Informational                      [Page 6]

RFC 2917                       Core VPNs                  September 2000   Of course, hop-by-hop forwarding is also available to forward routing   packets and to forward user data packets during periods of LSP   establishment and failure.   13. This approach does not mandate that separate operating system       tasks for each of the routing protocols be run for each VR that       the SPED houses. Specific implementations may be tailored to the       particular SPED in use. Maintaining separate routing databases       and forwarding tables, one per VR, is one way to get the highest       performance for a given SPED.7. Scalable Configuration   A typical VPN is expected to have 100s to 1000s of endpoints within   the SP cloud.  Therefore, configuration should scale (at most)   linearly with the number of end points. To be specific, the   administrator should have to add a couple of configuration items when   a new customer site joins the set of VRs constituting a specific VPN.   Anything worse will make this task too daunting for the service   provider.  In this architecture, all that the service provider needs   to allocate and configure is the ingress/egress physical link (e.g.   Frame Relay DLCI or ATM VPI/VCI) and the virtual connection between   the VR and the emulated LAN.8. Dynamic Neighbor Discovery   The VRs in a given VPN reside in a number of SPEDs in the network.   These VRs need to learn about each other and be connected.   One way to do this is to require the manual configuration of   neighbors.  As an example, when a new site is added to a VPN, this   would require the configuration of all the other VRs as neighbors.   This is obviously not scalable from a configuration and network   resource standpoint.   The need then arises to allow these VRs to dynamically discover each   other.  Neighbor discovery is facilitated by providing each VPN with   a limited emulated LAN. This emulated LAN is used in several ways:   1. Address resolution uses this LAN to resolve next-hop (private) IP      addresses associated with the other VRs.   2. Routing protocols such as RIP and OSPF use this limited emulated      LAN for neighbor discovery and to send routing updates.   The per-VPN LAN is emulated using an IP multicast address.  In the   interest of conserving public address space and because this   multicast address needs to be visible only in the SP network space,Muthukrishnan & Malis        Informational                      [Page 7]

RFC 2917                       Core VPNs                  September 2000   we would use an address from the Organizationally scoped multicast   addresses (239.192/14) as described in [Meyer]. Each VPN is allocated   an address from this range.  To completely eliminate configuration in   this regard, this address is computed from the VPNID.9.

Of course, the SP limits the resources that   this Virtual Router may consume on a SPED-by-SPED basis. Each VPN has   a number of physical connections (to CPE routers) and a number of   logical connections (to the emulated LAN). Each connection is IP-   capable and can be configured to utilize any combination of the   standard routing protocols and routing policies to achieve specific   corporate network goals.   To illustrate, in Figure 1, 3 VRs reside on 3 SPEDs in VPN 1. Router   'A' houses VR-A, router 'B' houses VR-B and router 'C' houses VR-C.   VR-C and VR-B have a physical connection to CPE equipment, while VR-A   has 2 physical connections. Each of the VRs has a fully IP-capable   logical connection to the emulated LAN.  VR-A has the (physical)   connections to the headquarters of the company and runs OSPF over   those connections. Therefore, it can route packets to 172.150.0/18   and 172.150.128/18. VR-B runs RIP in the branch office (over the   physical connection) and uses RIP (over the logical connection) to   export 172.150.64/18 to VR-A. VR-A advertises a default route to VR-B   over the logical connection.  Vendors use VR-C as the extranet   connection to connect to the parts database at 172.150.128.1. Hence,   VR-C advertises a default route to VR-A over the logical connection.   VR-A exports only 175.150.128.1 to VR-C. This keeps the rest of the   corporate network from a security problem.Muthukrishnan & Malis        Informational                      [Page 9]

RFC 2917                       Core VPNs                  September 2000   The network administrator will configure the following:   1. OSPF connections to the 172.150.0/18 and 172.150.128/18 network      in VR-A.   2. RIP connections to VR-B and VR-C on VR-A.   3. Route policies on VR-A to advertise only the default route to      VR-B.   4. Route policies on VR-A to advertise only 172.159.128.1 to VR-C.   5. RIP on VR-B to VR-A.   6. RIP on VR-C to advertise a default route to VR-A.10. Neighbor Discovery Example   In Figure #1, the SPED that houses VR-A (SPED-A) uses a public   address of 150.0.0.1/24, SPED-B uses 150.0.0.2/24 and SPED-C uses   150.0.0.3/24.  As noted, the connection between the VRs is via an   emulated LAN.  For interface addresses on the emulated LAN   connection, VR-A uses 10.0.0.1/24, VR-B uses 10.0.0.2/24 and VR-C   uses 10.0.0.3/24.   Let's take the case of VR-A sending a packet to VR-B. To get VR-B's   address (SPED-B's address), VR-A sends an ARP request packet with the   address of VR-B (10.0.0.2) as the logical address. The source logical   address is 10.0.0.1 and the hardware address is 151.0.0.1. This ARP   request is encapsulated in this VPN's multicast address and sent out.   SPED B and SPED-C receive a copy of the packet.  SPED-B recognizes   10.0.0.2 in the context of VPN 1 and responds with 152.0.0.2 as the   "hardware" address. This response is sent to the VPN multicast   address to promote the use of promiscuous ARP and the resulting   decrease in network traffic.   Manual configuration would be necessary if neighbor discovery were   not used. In this example, VR-A would be configured with a static ARP   entry for VR-B's logical address (10.0.0.1) with the "hardware"   address set to 152.0.0.2.11. Forwarding   As mentioned in the architectural outline, data forwarding may be   done in one of several ways. In all techniques except the Hop-by-Hop   technique for forwarding routing/control packets, the actual methodMuthukrishnan & Malis        Informational                     [Page 10]

RFC 2917                       Core VPNs                  September 2000   is configurable. At the high end, policy based forwarding for quick   service and at the other end best effort forwarding using public LSP   is used. The order of forwarding preference is as follows:   1. Policy based forwarding.   2. Optionally configured private LSP.   3. Best-effort public LSP.11.1  Private LSP   This LSP is optionally configured on a per-VPN basis. This LSP is   usually associated with non-zero bandwidth reservation and/or a   specific differentiated service or QOS class. If this LSP is   available, it is used for user data and for VPN private control data   forwarding.11.2 Best Effort Public LSP   VPN data packets are forwarded using this LSP if a private LSP with   specified bandwidth and/or QOS characteristics is either not   configured or not presently available. The LSP used is the one   destined for the egress router in VPN 0. The VPNID in the shim header   is used to de-multiplex data packets from various VPNs at the egress   router.12.  Differentiated Services   Configuring private LSPs for VPNs allows the SP to offer   differentiated services to paying customers. These private LSPs could   be associated with any available L2 QOS class or Diff-Serv   codepoints. In a VPN, multiple private LSPs with different service   classes could be configured with flow profiles for sorting the   packets among the LSPs. This feature, together with the ability to   size the virtual routers, allows the SP to offer truly differentiated   services to the VPN customer.13.  Security Considerations13.1  Routing Security   The use of standard routing protocols such as OSPF and BGP in their   unmodified form means that all the encryption and security methods   (such as MD5 authentication of neighbors) are fully available in VRs.   Making sure that routes are not accidentally leaked from one VPN to   another is an implementation issue. One way to achieve this is to   maintain separate routing and forwarding databases.Muthukrishnan & Malis        Informational                     [Page 11]

RFC 2917                       Core VPNs                  September 200013.2  Data Security   This allows the SP to assure the VPN customer that data packets in   one VPN never have the opportunity to wander into another. From a   routing standpoint, this could be achieved by maintaining separate   routing databases for each virtual router. From a data forwarding   standpoint, the use of label stacks in the case of shared LSPs   [Rosen2] [Callon] or the use of private LSPs guarantees data privacy.   Packet filters may also be configured to help ease the problem.13.3  Configuration Security   Virtual routers appear as physical routers to the PNA. This means   that they may be configured by the PNA to achieve connectivity   between offices of a corporation. Obviously, the SP has to guarantee   that the PNA and the PNA's designees are the only ones who have   access to the VRs on the SPEDs the private network has connections   to. Since the virtual router console is functionally equivalent to a   physical router, all of the authentication methods available on a   physical console such as password, RADIUS, etc. are available to the   PNA.13.4 Physical Network Security   When a PNA logs in to a SPED to configure or monitor the VPN, the PNA   is logged into the VR for the VPN. The PNA has only layer 3   configuration and monitoring privileges for the VR. Specifically, the   PNA has no configuration privileges for the physical network. This   provides the guarantee to the SP that a VPN administrator will not be   able to inadvertently or otherwise adversely affect the SP's network.14.  Virtual Router Monitoring   All of the router monitoring features available on a physical router   are available on the virtual router. This includes utilities such as   "ping" and "traceroute". In addition, the ability to display private   routing tables, link state databases, etc. are available.15. Performance Considerations   For the purposes of discussing performance and scaling issues,   today's routers can be split into two planes: the routing (control)   plane and the forwarding plane.   In looking at the routing plane, most modern-day routing protocols   use some form of optimized calculation methodologies to calculate the   shortest path(s) to end stations. For instance, OSPF and ISIS use the   Djikstra algorithm while BGP uses the "Decision Process". TheseMuthukrishnan & Malis        Informational                     [Page 12]

RFC 2917                       Core VPNs                  September 2000   algorithms are based on parsing the routing database and computing   the best paths to end stations. The performance characteristics of   any of these algorithms is based on either topological   characteristics (ISIS and OSPF) or the number of ASs in the path to   the destinations (BGP). But it is important to note that the overhead   in setting up and beginning these calculations is very little for   most any modern day router. This is because, although we refer to   routing calculation input as "databases", these are memory resident   data structures.   Therefore, the following conclusions can be drawn:   1. Beginning a routing calculation for a routing domain is nothing      more than setting up some registers to point to the right database      objects.   2. Based on 1, the performance of a given algorithm is not      significantly worsened by the overhead required to set it up.   3. Based on 2, it follows that, when a number of routing calculations      for a number of virtual routers has to be performed by a physical      router, the complexity of the resulting routing calculation is      nothing more than the sum of the complexities of the routing      calculations of the individual virtual routers.   4. Based on 3, it follows that whether an overlay model is used or a      virtual routing model is employed, the performance characteristics      of a router are dependent purely on its hardware capabilities and      the choice of data structures and algorithms.   To illustrate, let's say a physical router houses N VPNs, all running   some routing protocol say RP. Let's also suppose that the average   performance of RP's routing calculation algorithm is  f(X,Y) where x   and y are parameters that determine performance of the algorithm for   that routing protocol. As an example, for Djikstra algorithm users   such as OSPF, X could be the number of nodes in the area while Y   could be the number of links. The performance of an arbitrary VPN n   is f (Xn, Yn). The performance of the (physical) router is the sum of   f(Xi, Yi) for all values of i in 0 <= i <= N. This conclusion is   independent of the chosen VPN approach (virtual router or overlay   model).   In the usual case, the forwarding plane has two inputs: the   forwarding table and the packet header. The main performance   parameter is the lookup algorithm. The very best performance one can   get for a IP routing table lookup is by organizing the table as some   form of a tree and use binary search methods to do the actual lookup.   The performance of this algorithm is O(log n).Muthukrishnan & Malis        Informational                     [Page 13]

RFC 2917                       Core VPNs                  September 2000   Hence, as long as the virtual routers' routing tables are distinct   from each other, the lookup cost is constant for finding the routing   table and O(log n) to find the entry. This is no worse or different   from any router and no different from a router that employs overlay   techniques to deliver VPN services. However, when the overlay router   utilizes integration of multiple VPNs' routing tables, the   performance is O(log m*n) where 'm' is the number of VPNs that the   routing table holds routes for.16.
