Introduction   The Hello message for the Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) has   been defined to establish and maintain basic signaling node   adjacencies for Label Switching Routers (LSRs) participating in a   Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) traffic-engineered (TE) network   [RFC3209].  The Hello message has been extended for use in   Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) networks for state recovery of control   channel or nodal faults through the exchange of the Restart_Cap   Object [RFC3473].   The GMPLS protocol definitions for RSVP [RFC3473] also allow a   restarting node to learn which label it previously allocated for use   on a Label Switched Path (LSP) through the Recovery_Label Object   carried on a Path message sent to a restarting node from its upstream   neighbor.   Further RSVP protocol extensions have been defined [RFC5063] to   perform graceful restart and to enable a restarting node to recover   full control plane state by exchanging RSVP messages with its   upstream and downstream neighbors.  State previously transmitted to   the upstream neighbor (principally, the downstream label) is   recovered from the upstream neighbor on a Path message (using theLi, et al.                   Informational                      [Page 3]

RFC 5495          RSVP-TE Graceful Restart Procedures      February 2009   Recovery_Label Object as described in [RFC3473]).  State previously   transmitted to the downstream neighbor (including the upstream label,   interface identifiers, and the explicit route) is recovered from the   downstream neighbor using a RecoveryPath message.   [RFC5063] also extends the Hello message to exchange information   about the ability to support the RecoveryPath message.   The examples and procedures in [RFC3473] and [RFC5063] focus on the   description of a single node restart when adjacent network nodes are   operative.  Although the procedures are equally applicable to multi-   node restarts, no detailed explanation is provided for such a case.   This document provides an informational clarification of the control   plane procedures for a GMPLS network when there are multiple node   failures, and describes how full control plane state can be recovered   in different scenarios where the order in which the nodes restart is   different.   This document does not define any new processes or procedures.  All   protocol mechanisms already defined in [RFC3473] and [RFC5063] are   definitive.2.  Existing Procedures for Single Node Restart   This section documents for information the existing procedures   defined in [RFC3473] and [RFC5063].  Those documents are definitive,   and the description here is non-normative.  It is provided for   informational clarification only.2.1.  Procedures Defined inRFC 3473   In the case of nodal faults, the procedures for the restarting node   and the procedures for the neighbor of a restarting node are applied   to the corresponding nodes.  These procedures, described in   [RFC3473], are summarized as follows:   For the Restarting Node:   1) Tells its neighbors that state recovery is supported using the      Hello message.   2) Recovers its RSVP state with the help of a Path message, received      from its upstream neighbor, that carries the Recovery_Label      Object.   3) For bidirectional LSPs, uses the Upstream_Label Object on the      received Path message to recover the corresponding RSVP state.Li, et al.                   Informational                      [Page 4]

RFC 5495          RSVP-TE Graceful Restart Procedures      February 2009   4) If the corresponding forwarding state in the data plane does not      exist, the node treats this as a setup for a new LSP.  If the      forwarding state in the data plane does exist, the forwarding      state is bound to the LSP associated with the message, and the      related forwarding state should be considered as valid and      refreshed.  In addition, if the node is not the tail-end of the      LSP, the incoming label on the downstream interface is retrieved      from the forwarding state on the restarting node and set in the      Upstream_Label Object in the Path message sent to the downstream      neighbor.   For the Neighbor of a Restarting Node:   1) Sends a Path message with the Recovery_Label Object containing a      label value corresponding to the label value received in the most      recently received corresponding Resv message.   2) Resumes refreshing Path state with the restarting node.   3) Resumes refreshing Resv state with the restarting node.2.2.  Procedures Defined inRFC 5063   A new message is introduced in [RFC5063] called the RecoveryPath   message.  This message is sent by the downstream neighbor of a   restarting node to convey the contents of the last received Path   message back to the restarting node.   The restarting node will receive the Path message with the   Recovery_Label Object from its upstream neighbor and/or the   RecoveryPath message from its downstream neighbor.  The full RSVP   state of the restarting node can be recovered from these two   messages.   The following state can be recovered from the received Path message:   o Upstream data interface (from RSVP_Hop Object)   o Label on the upstream data interface (from Recovery_Label Object)   o Upstream label for bidirectional LSP (from Upstream_Label Object)   The following state can be recovered from the received RecoveryPath   message:   o Downstream data interface (from RSVP_Hop Object)   o Label on the downstream data interface (from Recovery_Label Object)Li, et al.

RFC 5495          RSVP-TE Graceful Restart Procedures      February 2009   o Upstream direction label for bidirectional LSP (from Upstream_Label     Object)   The other objects originally exchanged on Path and Resv messages can   be recovered from the regular Path and Resv refresh messages, or from   the RecoveryPath.3.  Multiple Node Restart Scenarios   We define the following terms for the different node types:   Restarting - The node has restarted.  Communication with its neighbor      nodes is restored, and its RSVP state is under recovery.   Delayed Restarting - The node has restarted, but the communication      with a neighbor node is interrupted (for example, the neighbor      node needs to restart).   Normal - The normal node is the fully operational neighbor of a      restarting or delayed restarting node.   There are five scenarios for multi-node restart.  We will focus on   the different positions of a restarting node.  As shown in Figure 1,   an LSP starts from Node A, traverses Nodes B and C, and ends at Node   D.          +-----+  Path  +-----+  Path  +-----+  Path  +-----+          | PSB |------->| PSB |------->| PSB |------->| PSB |          |     |        |     |        |     |        |     |          | RSB |<-------| RSB |<-------| RSB |<-------| RSB |          +-----+  Resv  +-----+  Resv  +-----+  Resv  +-----+          Node A         Node B         Node C         Node D                   Figure 1: Two Neighbor Nodes Restart   1) A restarting node with downstream delayed restarting node.  For      example, in Figure 1, Nodes A and D are normal nodes, Node B is a      restarting node, and Node C is a delayed restarting node.   2) A restarting node with upstream delayed restarting node.  For      example, in Figure 1, Nodes A and D are normal nodes, Node B is a      delayed restarting node, and Node C is a restarting node.   3) A restarting node with downstream and upstream delayed restarting      nodes.  For example, in Figure 1, Node A is a normal node, Nodes B      and D are delayed restarting nodes, and Node C is a restarting      node.Li, et al.                   Informational                      [Page 6]

RFC 5495          RSVP-TE Graceful Restart Procedures      February 2009   4) A restarting ingress node with downstream delayed restarting node.      For example, in Figure 1, Node A is a restarting node and Node B      is a delayed restarting node.  Nodes C and D are normal nodes.   5) A restarting egress node with upstream delayed restarting node.      For example, in Figure 1, Nodes A and B are normal nodes, Node C      is a delayed restarting node, and Node D is a restarting node.   If the communication between two nodes is interrupted, the upstream   node may think the downstream node is a delayed restarting node, or   vice versa.   Note that if multiple nodes that are not neighbors are restarted, the   restart procedures could be applied as multiple separated restart   procedures that are exactly the same as the procedures described in   [RFC3473] and [RFC5063].  Therefore, these scenarios are not   described in this document.  For example, in Figure 1, Node A and   Node C are normal nodes, and Node B and Node D are restarting nodes;   therefore, Node B could be restarted through Node A and Node C, while   Node D could be restarted through Node C separately.4.  RSVP State   For each scenario, the RSVP state that needs to be recovered at the   restarting nodes are the Path State Block (PSB) and Resv State Block   (RSB), which are created when the node receives the corresponding   Path message and Resv message.   According to [RFC2209], how to construct the PSB and RSB is really an   implementation issue.  In fact, there is no requirement to maintain   separate PSB and RSB data structures.  In GMPLS, there is a much   closer tie between Path and Resv state so it is possible to combine   the information into a single state block (the LSP state block).  On   the other hand, if point-to-multipoint is supported, it may be   convenient to maintain separate upstream and downstream state.  Note   that the PSB and RSB are not upstream and downstream state since the   PSB is responsible for receiving a Path from upstream and sending a   Path to downstream.   Regardless of how the RSVP state is implemented, on recovery there   are two logical pieces of state to be recovered and these correspond   to the PSB and RSB.5.  Procedures for Multiple Node Restart   In this document, all the nodes are assumed to have the graceful   restart capabilities that are described in [RFC3473] and [RFC5063].Li, et al.

RFC 5495          RSVP-TE Graceful Restart Procedures      February 20095.1.  Procedures for the Normal Node   When the downstream normal node detects its neighbor restarting, it   must send a RecoveryPath message for each LSP associated with the   restarting node for which it has previously sent a Resv message and   which has not been torn down.   When the upstream normal node detects its neighbor restarting, it   must send a Path message with a Recovery_Label Object containing a   label value corresponding to the label value received in the most   recently received corresponding Resv message.   This document does not modify the procedures for the normal node,   which are described in [RFC3473] and [RFC5063].5.2.  Procedures for the Restarting Node   This document does not modify the procedures for the restarting node,   which are described in [RFC3473] and [RFC5063].5.2.1.  Procedures for Scenario 1   After the restarting node restarts, it starts a Recovery Timer.  Any   RSVP state that has not been resynchronized when the Recovery Timer   expires should be cleared.   At the restarting node (Node B in the example), full   resynchronization with the upstream neighbor (Node A) is possible   because Node A is a normal node.  The upstream Path information is   recovered from the Path message received from Node A.  Node B also   recovers the upstream Resv information (that it had previously sent   to Node A) from the Recovery_Label Object carried in the Path message   received from Node A, but, obviously, some information (like the   Recorded_Route Object) will be missing from the new Resv message   generated by Node B and cannot be supplied until the downstream   delayed restarting node (Node C) restarts and sends a Resv.   After the upstream Path information and upstream Resv information   have been recovered by Node B, the normal refresh procedure with   upstream Node A should be started.   As per [RFC5063], the restarting node (Node B) would normally expect   to receive a RecoveryPath message from its downstream neighbor (Node   C).  It would use this to recover the downstream Path information,   and would subsequently send a Path message to its downstream neighbor   and receive a Resv message.  But in this scenario, because the   downstream neighbor has not restarted yet, Node B detects the   communication withLi, et al.                   Informational                      [Page 8]

RFC 5495          RSVP-TE Graceful Restart Procedures      February 2009   Node C is interrupted and must wait before resynchronizing with its   downstream neighbor.   In this case, the restarting node (Node B) follows the procedures inSection 9.3 of [RFC3473] and may run a Restart Timer to wait for the   downstream neighbor (Node C) to restart.  If its downstream neighbor   (Node C) has not restarted before the timer expires, the   corresponding LSPs may be torn down according to local policy   [RFC3473].  Note, however, that the Restart Time value suggested in   [RFC3473] is based on the previous Hello message exchanged with the   node that has not restarted yet (Node C).  Since this time value is   unlikely to be available to the restarting node (Node B), a   configured time value must be used if the timer is operated.   The RSVP state must be reconciled with the retained data plane state   if the cross-connect information can be retrieved from the data   plane.  In the event of any mismatches, local policy will dictate the   action that must be taken, which could include:   - reprogramming the data plane   - sending an alert to the management plane   - tearing down the control plane state for the LSP   In the case that the delayed restarting node never comes back and a   Restart Timer is not used to automatically tear down LSPs, the LSPs   can be tidied up through the control plane using a PathTear from the   upstream node (Node A).  Note that if Node C restarts after this   operation, the RecoveryPath message that it sends to Node B will not   be matched with any state on Node B and will receive a PathTear as   its response, resulting in the teardown of the LSP at all downstream   nodes.5.2.2.  Procedures for Scenario 2   In this case, the restarting node (Node C) can recover full   downstream state from its downstream neighbor (Node D), which is a   normal node.  The downstream Path state can be recovered from the   RecoveryPath message, which is sent by Node D.  This allows Node C to   send a Path refresh message to Node D, and Node D will respond with a   Resv message from which Node C can reconstruct the downstream Resv   state.   After the downstream Path information and downstream Resv information   have been recovered in Node C, the normal refresh procedure with   downstream Node D should be started.Li, et al.                   Informational                      [Page 9]

RFC 5495          RSVP-TE Graceful Restart Procedures      February 2009   The restarting node would normally expect to resynchronize with its   upstream neighbor to re-learn the upstream Path and Resv state, but   in this scenario, because the upstream neighbor (Node B) has not   restarted yet, the restarting node (Node C) detects that the   communication with upstream neighbor (Node B) is interrupted.  The   restarting node (Node C) follows the procedures inSection 9.3 of   [RFC3473] and may run a Restart Timer to wait for the upstream   neighbor (Node B) to restart.  If its upstream neighbor (Node B) has   not restarted before the Restart Timer expires, the corresponding   LSPs may be torn down according to local policy [RFC3473].  Note,   however, that the Restart Time value suggested in [RFC3473] is based   on the previous Hello message exchanged with the node that has not   restarted yet (Node B).  Since this time value is unlikely to be   available to the restarting node (Node C), a configured time value   must be used if the timer is operated.   Note that no Resv message is sent to the upstream neighbor (Node B),   because it has not restarted.   The RSVP state must be reconciled with the retained data plane state   if the cross-connect information can be retrieved from the data   plane.   In the event of any mismatches, local policy will dictate the action   that must be taken, which could include:   - reprogramming the data plane   - sending an alert to the management plane   - tearing down the control plane state for the LSP   In the case that the delayed restarting node never comes back and a   Restart Timer is not used to automatically tear down LSPs, the LSPs   cannot be tidied up through the control plane using a PathTear from   the upstream node (Node A), because there is no control plane   connectivity to Node C from the upstream direction.  There are two   possibilities in [RFC3473]:   - Management action may be taken at the restarting node to tear the     LSP.  This will result in the LSP being removed from Node C and a     PathTear being sent downstream to Node D.   - Management action may be taken at any downstream node (for example,     Node D), resulting in a PathErr message with the Path_State_Removed     flag set being sent to Node C to tear the LSP state.Li, et al.                   Informational                     [Page 10]

RFC 5495          RSVP-TE Graceful Restart Procedures      February 2009   Note that if Node B restarts after this operation, the Path message   that it sends to Node C will not be matched with any state on Node C   and will be treated as a new Path message, resulting in LSP setup.   Node C should use the labels carried in the Path message (in the   Upstream_Label Object and in the Recovery_Label Object) to drive its   label allocation, but may use other labels according to normal LSP   setup rules.5.2.3.  Procedures for Scenario 3   In this example, the restarting node (Node C) is isolated.  Its   upstream and downstream neighbors have not restarted.   The restarting node (Node C) follows the procedures inSection 9.3 of   [RFC3473] and may run a Restart Timer for each of its neighbors   (Nodes B and D).  If a neighbor has not restarted before its Restart   Timer expires, the corresponding LSPs may be torn down according to   local policy [RFC3473].  Note, however, that the Restart Time values   suggested in [RFC3473] are based on the previous Hello message   exchanged with the nodes that have not restarted yet.  Since these   time values are unlikely to be available to the restarting node (Node   C), a configured time value must be used if the timer is operated.   During the Recovery Time, if the upstream delayed restarting node has   restarted, the procedure for scenario 1 can be applied.   During the Recovery Time, if the downstream delayed restarting node   has restarted, the procedure for scenario 2 can be applied.   In the case that neither delayed restarting node ever comes back and   a Restart Timer is not used to automatically tear down LSPs,   management intervention is required to tidy up the control plane and   the data plane on the node that is waiting for the failed device to   restart.   If the downstream delayed restarting node restarts after the cleanup   of LSPs at Node C, the RecoveryPath message from Node D will be   responded to with a PathTear message.  If the upstream delayed   restarting node restarts after the cleanup of LSPs at Node C, the   Path message from Node B will be treated as a new LSP setup request,   but the setup will fail because Node D cannot be reached; Node C will   respond with a PathErr message.  Since this happens to Node B during   its restart processing, it should follow the rules of [RFC5063] and   tear down the LSP.Li, et al.                   Informational                     [Page 11]

RFC 5495          RSVP-TE Graceful Restart Procedures      February 20095.2.4.  Procedures for Scenario 4   When the ingress node (Node A) restarts, it does not know which LSPs   it caused to be created.  Usually, however, this information is   retrieved from the management plane or from the configuration   requests stored in non-volatile form in the node in order to recover   the LSP state.   Furthermore, if the downstream node (Node B) is a normal node,   according to the procedures in [RFC5063], the ingress will receive a   RecoveryPath message and will understand that it was the ingress of   the LSP.   However, in this scenario, the downstream node is a delayed   restarting node, so Node A must either rely on the information from   the management plane or stored configuration, or it must wait for   Node B to restart.   In the event that Node B never restarts, management plane   intervention is needed at Node A to clean up any LSP control plane   state restored from the management plane or from local configuration,   and to release any data plane resources.5.2.5.  Procedures for Scenario 5   In this scenario, the egress node (Node D) restarts, and its upstream   neighbor (Node C) has not restarted.  In this case, the egress node   may have no control plane state relating to the LSPs.  It has no   downstream neighbor to help it and no management plane or   configuration information, although there will be data plane state   for the LSP.  The egress node must simply wait until its upstream   neighbor restarts and gives it the information in Path messages   carrying Recovery_Label Objects.5.3.  Consideration of the Reuse of Data Plane Resources   Fundamental to the processes described above is an understanding that   data plane resources may remain in use (allocated and cross-   connected) when control plane state has not been fully resynchronized   because some control plane nodes have not restarted.   It is assumed that these data plane resources might be carrying   traffic and should not be reconfigured except through application of   operator-configured policy, or as a direct result of operator action.   In particular, new LSP setup requests from the control plane or the   management plane should not be allowed to use data plane resourcesLi, et al.                   Informational                     [Page 12]

RFC 5495          RSVP-TE Graceful Restart Procedures      February 2009   that are still in use.  Specific action must first be taken to   release the resources.5.4.  Consideration of Management Plane Intervention   The management plane must always retain the ability to control data   plane resources and to override the control plane.  In this context,   the management plane must always be able to release data plane   resources that were previously in place for use by control-plane-   established LSPs.  Further, the management plane must always be able   to instruct any control plane node to tear down any LSP.   Operators should be aware of the risks of misconnection that could be   caused by careless manipulation from the management plane of in-use   data plane resources.6.  Clarification of Restarting Node Procedure   According to the current graceful restart procedure [RFC3473], after   a node restarts its control plane, it needs its upstream node to send   a PATH message with a recovery label in order to synchronize its RSVP   state.  If the restarted control plane becomes operational quickly,   the upstream node may not detect the restarting of the downstream   node and, therefore, may send a PATH message without a recovery   label, causing errors and unwanted connection deletion.Li, et al.

In this sequence, N1 does not detect Hello failure and continues   sending SRefreshes, which may get NACK'ed by N2 once restart   completes because there is no Path state corresponding to the   SRefresh message.  This NACK causes a Path refresh message to be   generated, but there is no Recovery_Label because N1 does not yet   detect that N2 has restarted, as Hello exchanges have not yet   started.  The Path message is treated as "new" and fails to allocate   the resources because they are still in use.  This causes a PathErr   message to be generated, which may lead to the teardown of the LSP.   To resolve the aforementioned problem, the following procedures,   which are implicit in [RFC3473] and [RFC5063], should be followed.   These procedures work together with the recovery procedures   documented in [RFC3473].  Here, it is assumed that the restartingLi, et al.

After a node restarts its control plane, it should ignore and   silently drop all RSVP-TE messages (except Hello messages) it   receives from any neighbor to which no HELLO session has been   established.   The restarting node should follow [RFC3209] to establish Hello   sessions with its neighbors, after its control plane becomes   operational.   The restarting node resumes processing of RSVP-TE messages sent from   each neighbor to which the Hello session has been established.7.  Security Considerations   This document clarifies the procedures defined in [RFC3473] and   [RFC5063] to be performed on RSVP agents that neighbor one or more   restarting RSVP agents.  It does not introduce any new procedures   and, therefore, does not introduce any new security risks or issues.   In the case of the control plane in general, and the RSVP agent in   particular, where one or more nodes carrying one or more LSPs are   restarted due to external attacks, the procedures defined in   [RFC5063] and described in this document provide the ability for the   restarting RSVP agents to recover the RSVP state in each restarting   node corresponding to the LSPs, with the least possible perturbation   to the rest of the network.  These procedures can be considered to   provide mechanisms by which the GMPLS network can recover from   physical attacks or from attacks on remotely controlled power   supplies.   The procedures described are such that only the neighboring RSVP   agents should notice the restart of a node, and hence only they need   to perform additional processing.  This allows for a network with   active LSPs to recover LSP state gracefully from an external attack,   without perturbing the data/forwarding plane state and without   propagating the error condition in the control or data plane.  In   other words, the effect of the restart (which might be the result of   an attack) does not spread into the network.   Note that concern has been expressed about the vulnerability of a   restarting node to false messages received from its neighbors.  For   example, a restarting node might receive a false Path message with aLi, et al.                   Informational                     [Page 15]

RFC 5495          RSVP-TE Graceful Restart Procedures      February 2009   Recovery_Label Object from an upstream neighbor, or a false   RecoveryPath message from its downstream neighbor.  This situation   might arise in one of four cases:   - The message is spoofed and does not come from the neighbor at all.   - The message has been modified as it was traveling from the     neighbor.   - The neighbor is defective and has generated a message in error.   - The neighbor has been subverted and has a "rogue" RSVP agent.   The first two cases may be handled using standard RSVP authentication   and integrity procedures [RFC3209], [RFC3473].  If the operator is   particularly worried, the control plane may be operated using IPsec   [RFC4301], [RFC4302], [RFC4835], [RFC4306], and [RFC2411].   Protection against defective or rogue RSVP implementations is   generally hard-to-impossible.  Neighbor-to-neighbor authentication   and integrity validation is, by definition, ineffective in these   situations.  For example, if a neighbor node sends a Resv during   normal LSP setup, and if that message carries a Generalized_Label   Object carrying an incorrect label value, then the receiving LSR will   use the supplied value and the LSP will be set up incorrectly.   Alternatively, if a Path message is modified by an upstream LSR to   change the destination and explicit route, there is no way for the   downstream LSR to detect this, and the LSP may be set up to the wrong   destination.  Furthermore, the upstream LSR could disguise this fact   by modifying the recorded route reported in the Resv message.  Thus,   these issues are in no way specific to the restart case, do not cause   any greater or different problems from the normal case, and do not   warrant specific security measures applicable to restart scenarios.   Note that the RSVP Policy_Data Object [RFC2205] provides a scope by   which secure end-to-end checks could be applied.  However, very   little definition of the use of this object has been made to date.   See [MPLS-SEC] for a wider discussion of security in MPLS and GMPLS   networks.8.
