Hudson Brocade February 2016Coordinated Multicast Trees (CMT)for Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL)Abstract TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links) facilitates loop-free connectivity to non-TRILL networks via a choice of an Appointed Forwarder for a set of VLANs. Appointed Forwarders provide VLAN-based load sharing with an active-standby model. High- performance applications require an active-active load-sharing model. The active-active load-sharing model can be accomplished by representing any given non-TRILL network with a single virtual RBridge (also referred to as a virtual Routing Bridge or virtual TRILL switch). Virtual representation of the non-TRILL network with a single RBridge poses serious challenges in multi-destination RPF (Reverse Path Forwarding) check calculations.

RFC 7783 Coordinated Multicast Trees for TRILL February 20161. Introduction TRILL (Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links), as presented in [RFC6325] and other related documents, provides methods of utilizing all available paths for active forwarding, with minimum configuration. TRILL utilizes IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System) [IS-IS] as its control plane and uses a TRILL Header that includes a Hop Count. [RFC6325], [RFC7177], and [RFC6439] provide methods for interoperability between TRILL and Ethernet end stations and bridged networks. [RFC6439] provides an active-standby solution, where only one of the RBridges (aka Routing Bridges or TRILL switches) on a link with end stations is in the active forwarding state for end-station traffic for any given VLAN. That RBridge is referred to as the Appointed Forwarder (AF). All frames ingressed into a TRILL network via the AF are encapsulated with the TRILL Header with a nickname held by the ingress AF RBridge. Due to failures, reconfigurations, and other network dynamics, the AF for any set of VLANs may change. RBridges maintain forwarding tables that contain bindings for destination Media Access Control (MAC) addresses and Data Labels (VLAN or Fine-Grained Labels (FGLs)) to egress RBridges. In the event of an AF change, forwarding tables of remote RBridges may continue to forward traffic to the previous AF. That traffic may get discarded at the egress, causing traffic disruption. High-performance applications require resiliency during failover. The active-active forwarding model minimizes impact during failures and maximizes the available network bandwidth. A typical deployment scenario, depicted in Figure 1, may have end stations and/or bridges attached to the RBridges. These devices typically are multi-homed to several RBridges and treat all of the uplinks independently using a Local Active-Active Link Protocol (LAALP) [RFC7379], such as a single Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MC-LAG) bundle or Distributed Resilient Network Interconnect [802.1AX]. The AF designation presented in [RFC6439] requires each of the edge RBridges to exchange TRILL Hello packets. By design, an LAALP does not forward packets received on one of the member ports of the MC-LAG to other member ports of the same MC-LAG. As a result, the AF designation methods presented in [RFC6439] cannot be applied to the deployment scenario depicted in Figure 1. An active-active load-sharing model can be implemented by representing the edge of the network connected to a specific edge group of RBridges by a single virtual RBridge. Each virtual RBridge MUST have a nickname unique within its TRILL campus. In addition to an active-active forwarding model, there may be other applications that may require similar representations.Senevirathne, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 7783 Coordinated Multicast Trees for TRILL February 2016 Sections4.5.1 and4.5.2 of [RFC6325], as updated by [RFC7780], specify distribution tree calculation and RPF (Reverse Path Forwarding) check calculation algorithms for multi-destination forwarding. These algorithms strictly depend on link cost and parent RBridge priority. As a result, based on the network topology, it may be possible that a given edge RBridge, if it is forwarding on behalf of the virtual RBridge, may not have a candidate multicast tree on which it (the edge RBridge) can forward traffic, because there is no tree for which the virtual RBridge is a leaf node from the edge RBridge. In this document, we present a method that allows RBridges to specify the path of association for real or virtual child nodes to distribution trees. Remote RBridges calculate their forwarding tables and derive the RPF for distribution trees based on the distribution tree association advertisements. In the absence of distribution tree association advertisements, remote RBridges derive the SPF (Shortest Path First) based on the algorithm specified inSection 4.5.1 of [RFC6325], as updated by [RFC7780]. This document updates [RFC6325] by changing, when Coordinated Multicast Trees (CMT) sub-TLVs are present, [RFC6325] mandatory provisions as to how distribution trees are constructed. In addition to the above-mentioned active-active forwarding model, other applications may utilize the distribution tree association framework presented in this document to associate to distribution trees through a preferred path. This proposal requires (1) the presence of multiple multi-destination trees within the TRILL campus and (2) that all the RBridges in the network be updated to support the new Affinity sub-TLV (Section 3). It is expected that both of these requirements will be met, as they are control-plane changes and will be common deployment scenarios. In case either of the above two conditions is not met, RBridges MUST support a fallback option for interoperability. Since the fallback is expected to be a temporary phenomenon until all RBridges are upgraded, this proposal gives guidelines for such fallbacks and does not mandate or specify any specific set of fallback options.1.1. Scope and Applicability This document specifies an Affinity sub-TLV to solve RPF issues at the active-active edge. Specific methods in this document for making use of the Affinity sub-TLV are applicable where a virtual RBridge is used to represent multiple RBridges connected to an edge Customer Equipment (CE) device through an LAALP, such as MC-LAG or some similar arrangement where the RBridges cannot see each other's Hellos.Senevirathne, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 7783 Coordinated Multicast Trees for TRILL February 2016 This document does not provide other required operational elements to implement an active-active edge solution, such as MC-LAG methods. Solution-specific operational elements are outside the scope of this document and will be covered in other documents. (See, for example, [RFC7781].) Examples provided in this document are for illustration purposes only.2. Conventions Used in This Document The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. In this document, these words will appear with that interpretation only when in ALL CAPS. Lowercase uses of these words are not to be interpreted as carrying [RFC2119] significance.2.1. Acronyms and Phrases The following acronyms and phrases are used in this document: AF: Appointed Forwarder [RFC6439]. CE: Customer Equipment device, that is, a device that performs forwarding based on 802.1Q bridging. This also can be an end station or a server. Data Label: VLAN or FGL. FGL: Fine-Grained Label [RFC7172]. LAALP: Local Active-Active Link Protocol [RFC7379]. MC-LAG: Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation. A proprietary extension to [802.1AX] that facilitates connecting a group of links from an originating device (A) to a group of discrete devices (B). Device (A) treats all of the links in a given MC-LAG bundle as a single logical interface and treats all devices in Group (B) as a single logical device for all forwarding purposes. Device (A) does not forward packets received on the multi-chassis link bundle out of the same multi-chassis link bundle. Figure 1 depicts a specific use case example.Senevirathne, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 7783 Coordinated Multicast Trees for TRILL February 2016 RPF: Reverse Path Forwarding. SeeSection 4.5.2 of [RFC6325]. Virtual RBridge: A purely conceptual RBridge that represents an active-active edge group and is in turn represented by a nickname. For example, see [RFC7781].3. The Affinity Sub-TLV Association of an RBridge to a multi-destination distribution tree through a specific path is accomplished by using a new IS-IS sub-TLV, the Affinity sub-TLV. The Affinity sub-TLV appears in Router Capability TLVs or MT Capability TLVs that are within Link State PDUs (LSPs), as described in [RFC7176]. [RFC7176] specifies the code point and data structure for the Affinity sub-TLV.4. Multicast Tree Construction and Use of Affinity Sub-TLV Figures 1 and 2 below show the reference topology and a logical topology using CMT to provide active-active service. -------------------- / \ | | | TRILL Campus | | | \ / -------------------- | | | ----- | -------- | | | +------+ +------+ +------+ | | | | | | |(RB1) | |(RB2) | | (RBk)| +------+ +------+ +------+ |..| |..| |..| | +----+ | | | | | +---|-----|--|----------+ | | +-|---|-----+ +-----------+ | | | | +------------------+ | | (| | |) <-- MC-LAG (| | |) <-- MC-LAG +-------+ . . . +-------+ | CE1 | | CEn | | | | | +-------+ +-------+ Figure 1: Reference TopologySenevirathne, et al.

Update toRFC 6325 This document updatesSection 4.5.1 of [RFC6325] and changes the calculation of distribution trees, as specified below: Each RBridge that desires to be the parent RBridge for a child RBridge (RBy) in a multi-destination distribution tree (Tree x) announces the desired association using an Affinity sub-TLV. The child is specified by its nickname. If an RBridge (RB1) advertises an Affinity sub-TLV designating one of its own nicknames (N1) as its "child" in some distribution tree, the effect is that nickname N1 is ignored when constructing other distribution trees. Thus, the RPF check will enforce the rule that only RB1 can use nickname N1 to do ingress/egress on Tree x. (This has no effect on least-cost path calculations for unicast traffic.) When such an Affinity sub-TLV is present, the association specified by the Affinity sub-TLV MUST be used when constructing the multi-destination distribution tree, except in the case of aSenevirathne, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 7783 Coordinated Multicast Trees for TRILL February 2016 conflicting Affinity sub-TLV; such cases are resolved as specified inSection 5.3. In the absence of such an Affinity sub-TLV, or if there are any RBridges in the campus that do not support the Affinity sub-TLV, distribution trees are calculated as specified inSection 4.5.1 of [RFC6325], as updated by [RFC7780].Section 4.3 below specifies how to identify RBridges that support the Affinity sub-TLV.4.2. Announcing Virtual RBridge Nickname Each edge RBridge (RB1 to RBk) advertises its LSP virtual RBridge nickname (RBv) by using the Nickname sub-TLV (6) [RFC7176], along with their regular nickname or nicknames. It will be possible for any RBridge to determine that RBv is a virtual RBridge, because each RBridge (RB1 to RBk) that appears to be advertising that it is holding RBv is also advertising an Affinity sub-TLV asking that RBv be its child in one or more trees. Virtual RBridges are ignored when determining the distribution tree roots for the campus. All RBridges outside the edge group assume that multi-destination packets with their TRILL Header Ingress Nickname field set to RBv might use any of the distribution trees that any member of the edge group advertises that it might use.4.3. Affinity Sub-TLV Capability RBridges that announce the TRILL Version sub-TLV [RFC7176] and set the Affinity capability bit (Section 7) support the Affinity sub-TLV, calculation of multi-destination distribution trees, and RPF checks, as specified herein.5. Theory of Operation5.1. Distribution Tree Assignment Let's assume that there are n distribution trees and k edge RBridges in the edge group of interest. If n >= k Let's assume that edge RBridges are sorted in numerically ascending order by IS-IS System ID such that RB1 < RB2 < RBk. Each RBridge in the numerically sorted list is assigned a monotonically increasing number j such that RB1 = 0, RB2 = 1,Senevirathne, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 7783 Coordinated Multicast Trees for TRILL February 2016 RBi = j, and RBi + 1 = j + 1. (SeeSection 4.5 of [RFC6325], as updated bySection 3.4 of [RFC7780], for how tree numbers are determined.) Assign each tree to RBi such that tree number (((tree_number) % k) + 1) is assigned to edge group RBridge i for tree_number from 1 to n, where n is the number of trees, k is the number of edge group RBridges considered for tree allocation, and "%" is the integer division remainder operation. If n < k Distribution trees are assigned to edge group RBridges RB1 to RBn, using the same algorithm as the n >= k case. RBridges RBn + 1 to RBk do not participate in the active-active forwarding process on behalf of RBv.5.2. Affinity Sub-TLV Advertisement Each RBridge in the RB1 through RBk domain advertises an Affinity sub-TLV for RBv to be its child. As an example, let's assume that RB1 has chosen Trees t1 and tk + 1 on behalf of RBv. RB1 advertises the Affinity sub-TLV; {RBv, Num of Trees = 2, t1, tk + 1}. Other RBridges in the RB1 through RBk edge group follow the same procedure.5.3. Affinity Sub-TLV Conflict Resolution In TRILL, multi-destination distribution trees are built outward from the root by each RBridge so that they all derive the same set of distribution trees [RFC6325]. If RBridge RB1 advertises an Affinity sub-TLV with an AFFINITY RECORD that asks for RBridge RBroot to be its child in a tree rooted at RBroot, that AFFINITY RECORD is in conflict with TRILL distribution tree root determination and MUST be ignored. If RBridge RB1 advertises an Affinity sub-TLV with an AFFINITY RECORD that asks for nickname RBn to be its child in any tree and RB1 is not adjacent to RBn nor does nickname RBn identify RB1 itself, that AFFINITY RECORD is in conflict with the campus topology and MUST be ignored.Senevirathne, et al. Standards Track [Page 9]
RFC 7783 Coordinated Multicast Trees for TRILL February 2016 If different RBridges advertise Affinity sub-TLVs that try to associate the same virtual RBridge as their child in the same tree or trees, those Affinity sub-TLVs are in conflict with each other for those trees. The nicknames of the conflicting RBridges are compared to identify which RBridge holds the nickname that is the highest priority to be a tree root, with the System ID as the tiebreaker. The RBridge with the highest priority to be a tree root will retain the Affinity association. Other RBridges with lower priority to be a tree root MUST stop advertising their conflicting Affinity sub-TLVs, recalculate the multicast tree affinity allocation, and, if appropriate, advertise new non-conflicting Affinity sub-TLVs. Similarly, remote RBridges MUST honor the Affinity sub-TLV from the RBridge with the highest priority to be a tree root (using System ID as the tiebreaker in the event of conflicting priorities) and ignore the conflicting Affinity sub-TLV entries advertised by the RBridges with lower priorities to be tree roots.5.4. Ingress Multi-Destination Forwarding If there is at least one tree on which RBv has affinity via RBk, then RBk performs the following operations for multi-destination frames received from a CE node: 1. Flood to locally attached CE nodes subjected to VLAN and multicast pruning. 2. Ingress (by encapsulating with a TRILL Header) and set the Ingress Nickname field of the TRILL Header to RBv (the nickname of the virtual RBridge). 3. Forward to one of the distribution trees, Tree x, in which RBv is associated with RBk.5.4.1. Forwarding when n < k If there is no tree on which RBv can claim affinity via RBk (probably because the number of trees (n) built is less than the number of RBridges (k) announcing the Affinity sub-TLV), then RBk MUST fall back to one of the following: 1. This RBridge (RBk) should stop forwarding frames from the CE nodes and should mark its port towards those CE nodes as disabled. This will prevent the CE nodes from forwarding data to this RBridge. Thus, the CE nodes will only use those RBridges that have been assigned a tree.Senevirathne, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
RFC 7783 Coordinated Multicast Trees for TRILL February 2016 -OR- 2. This RBridge tunnels multi-destination frames received from attached native devices to an RBridge RBy that has an assigned tree. The tunnel destination should forward it to the TRILL network and also to its local access links. (The mechanism of tunneling and handshaking between the tunnel source and destination are out of scope for this specification and may be addressed in other documents, such as [ChannelTunnel].) The above fallback options may be specific to the active-active forwarding scenario. However, as stated above, the Affinity sub-TLV may be used in other applications. In such an event, the application SHOULD specify applicable fallback options.5.5. Egress Multi-Destination Forwarding5.5.1. Traffic Arriving on an Assigned Tree to RBk-RBv Multi-destination frames arriving at RBk on a Tree x, where RBk has announced the affinity of RBv via x, MUST be forwarded to CE members of RBv that are in the frame's VLAN. Forwarding to other end nodes and RBridges that are not part of the network represented by the virtual RBridge nickname (RBv) MUST follow the forwarding rules specified in [RFC6325].5.5.2. Traffic Arriving on Other Trees Multi-destination frames arriving at RBk on a Tree y, where RBk has not announced the affinity of RBv via y, MUST NOT be forwarded to CE members of RBv. Forwarding to other end nodes and RBridges that are not part of the network represented by the virtual RBridge nickname (RBv) MUST follow the forwarding rules specified in [RFC6325].5.6. Failure Scenarios The failure recovery algorithm below is presented only as a guideline. An active-active edge group MAY use other failure recovery algorithms; it is recommended that only one algorithm be used in an edge group at a time. Details of such algorithms are outside the scope of this document.5.6.1. Edge RBridge RBk Failure Each of the member RBridges of a given virtual RBridge edge group is aware of its member RBridges through configuration, LSP advertisements, or some other method.Senevirathne, et al. Standards Track [Page 11]
RFC 7783 Coordinated Multicast Trees for TRILL February 2016 Member RBridges detect nodal failure of a member RBridge through IS-IS LSP advertisements or lack thereof. Upon detecting a member failure, each of the member RBridges of the RBv edge group start recovery timer T_rec for failed RBridge RBi. If the previously failed RBridge RBi has not recovered after the expiry of timer T_rec, member RBridges perform the distribution tree assignment algorithm specified inSection 5.1. Each of the member RBridges re-advertises the Affinity sub-TLV with the new tree assignment. This action causes the campus to update the tree calculation with the new assignment. RBi, upon startup, advertises its presence through IS-IS LSPs and starts a timer T_i. Other member RBridges of the edge group, detecting the presence of RBi, start a timer T_j. Upon expiry of timer T_j, other member RBridges recalculate the multi-destination tree assignment and advertise the related trees using the Affinity sub-TLV. Upon expiry of timer T_i, RBi recalculates the multi-destination tree assignment and advertises the related trees using the Affinity sub-TLV. If the new RBridge in the edge group calculates trees and starts to use one or more of them before the existing RBridges in the edge group recalculate, there could be duplication of packets (for example, more than one edge group RBridge could decapsulate and forward a multi-destination frame on links into the active-active group) or loss of packets (for example, due to the Reverse Path Forwarding check, in the rest of the campus, if two edge group RBridges are trying to forward on the same tree, those from one will be discarded). Alternatively, if the new RBridge in the edge group calculates trees and starts to use one or more of them after the existing RBridges recalculate, there could be loss of data due to frames arriving at the new RBridge being black-holed. Timers T_i and T_j should be initialized to values designed to minimize these problems, keeping in mind that, in general, duplication of packets is a more serious problem than dropped packets. It is RECOMMENDED that T_j be less than T_i, and a reasonable default is 1/2 of T_i.5.7. Backward Compatibility Implementations MUST support a backward compatibility modes to interoperate with "pre-Affinity sub-TLV" RBridges in the network. Such backward compatibility operations MAY include, but are not limited to, tunneling and/or active-standby modes of operation. It should be noted that tunneling would require silicon changes. However, CMT in itself is a software upgrade.Senevirathne, et al. Standards Track [Page 12]
RFC 7783 Coordinated Multicast Trees for TRILL February 2016 Example: Step 1. Stop using the virtual RBridge nickname for traffic ingressing from CE nodes. Step 2. Stop performing active-active forwarding. Fall back to active standby forwarding, based on locally defined policies. The definition of such policies is outside the scope of this document and may be addressed in other documents.6. Security Considerations In general, the RBridges in a campus are trusted routers, and the authenticity of their link-state information (LSPs) and link-local PDUs (e.g., Hellos) can be enforced using regular IS-IS security mechanisms [IS-IS] [RFC5310]. This includes authenticating the contents of the PDUs used to transport Affinity sub-TLVs. The particular security considerations involved with different applications of the Affinity sub-TLV will be covered in the document(s) specifying those applications. For general TRILL security considerations, see [RFC6325].7. IANA Considerations This document serves as the reference for the registration of "Affinity sub-TLV support" (bit 0) in the "TRILL-VER Sub-TLV Capability Flags" registry. This document mentions the registration of "AFFINITY" (value 17) in the "Sub-TLVs for TLV 144" registry, but it is intentionally not listed as a reference for that registration; the reference remains [RFC7176].Senevirathne, et al.
