[GROW] Last Call: (BMP Peer Up Message Namespace) to Proposed Standard
The IESG has received a request from the Global Routing Operations WG (grow) to consider the following document: - 'BMP Peer Up Message Namespace' as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the last-c...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2024-09-17. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract RFC 7854, BMP, uses different message types for different purposes. Most of these are Type, Length, Value (TLV) structured. One message type, the Peer Up message, lacks a set of TLVs defined for its use, instead sharing a namespace with the Initiation message. Subsequent experience has shown that this namespace sharing was a mistake, as it hampers the extension of the protocol. This document updates RFC 7854 by creating an independent namespace for the Peer Up message. It also updates RFC 8671 and RFC 9069 by moving the defined codepoints in the newly introduced registry. The changes in this document are formal only, compliant implementations of RFC 7854, RFC 8671 and RFC 9069 also comply with this specification.

The Loc-RIB contains the routes that have been selected by the local BGP speaker's Decision Process. Working Group Summary There was some discussion on what exactly constitutes the Loc-RIB, various vendors have slightly different interpretations of this abstract concept. This has been resolved in Section 3 (“definitions”) which clarifies the contents of the Loc-RIB as received via the BMP protocol potentially are different from what is stored on a BGP node in its local interpretation of Loc-RIB. Document Quality BMP Local RIB has been implemented on the receiver side in Pmacct and OpenBMP, both are widely deployed collectors. On the BMP export side Cisco, Huawei, and Juniper implemented support for Loc-RIB. This indicates broad support and a need for standardization. Personnel Warren Kumari is RAD!

The IESG contact persons are Warren Kumari and Ignas Bagdonas. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-grow-wkc-behavior/ Technical Summary Popular BGP implementations manipulate Well-known Communities differently from one another.

The IESG contact persons are Warren Kumari and Benoit Claise. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-grow-bgp-reject/ Technical Summary This document defines the default behavior of a BGP speaker when there is no import or export policy associated with an External BGP session. Working Group Summary This document describes a change in default (or a standardization of a default) behavior; no changes in protocols expected. Basically this says that implementations MUST consider a deny-all policy if nothing is explicitly configured / act as though the peer is not fully configured until policy is applied. Document Quality Cisco IOS-XR already has this as the default behavior. Nokia is planning on making this the default. Patches have been submitted to various open-source implementations. This document is a product of the GROW WG. During the IETF LC, Alvaro Retana (RTG AD) noted that this could be interpreted as updating RFC4271, and so IDR should be explicitly included in the LC. IDR was notified, and the IETF LC extended to allow for additional review. A significant discussion (~200 email) then occurred on the IDR list. John Scudder (one of the IDR chairs) provided a useful summary here: https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/idr/current/msg18093.html - this summary confirmed Warren Kumari (OpsAD)'s judgment of consensus (and double-checked by Alvaro, IDR / BESS AD). The authors have updated the document in response to the discussions; Updates: 4271 (if approved), includes a Transition Considerations appendix, has an improved Security Considerations section and multiple other edits.

[GROW] Document Action: 'Problem Definition and Classification of BGP Route Leaks' to Informational RFC (draft-ietf-grow-route-leak-problem-definition-06.txt)
The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Problem Definition and Classification of BGP Route Leaks' (draft-ietf-grow-route-leak-problem-definition-06.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Global Routing Operations Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Benoit Claise and Joel Jaeggli. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-grow-route-leak-problem-definition/ Technical Summary A systemic vulnerability of the Border Gateway Protocol routing system, known as 'route leaks', has received significant attention in recent years. Frequent incidents that result in significant disruptions to Internet routing are labeled "route leaks", but to date we have lacked a common definition of the term. In this document, we provide a working definition of route leaks, keeping in mind the real occurrences that have received significant attention. Further, we attempt to enumerate (though not exhaustively) different types of route leaks based on observed events on the Internet. We aim to provide a taxonomy that covers several forms of route leaks that have been observed and are of concern to Internet user community as well as the network operator community. Working Group Summary This draft got significant review/discussion in the WG, with 5 revisions and agreement in the group on the focus and direction/content of the draft. Document Quality There are no implementations of a protocol for this, this document is a taxonomy of route leak types/causes/etc. Personnel Shepherd: Chris Morrow AD: Joel Jaeggli ___ GROW mailing list GROW@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/grow
[GROW] Protocol Action: 'BGP Monitoring Protocol' to Proposed Standard (draft-ietf-grow-bmp-17.txt)
The IESG has approved the following document: - 'BGP Monitoring Protocol' (draft-ietf-grow-bmp-17.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Global Routing Operations Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Benoit Claise and Joel Jaeggli. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-grow-bmp/ Technical Summary This document defines a protocol, BMP, that can be used to monitor BGP sessions. BMP is intended to provide a convenient interface for obtaining route views. Prior to introduction of BMP, screen-scraping was the most commonly-used approach to obtaining such views. The design goals are to keep BMP simple, useful, easily implemented, and minimally service-affecting. BMP is not suitable for use as a routing protocol. The BMP protocol provides access to the Adj-RIB-In of a peer on an ongoing basis and a periodic dump of certain statistics the monitoring station can use for further analysis. From a high level, BMP can be thought of as the result of multiplexing together the messages received on the various monitored BGP sessions. Working Group Summary The BMP protocol has been a GROW document for quite sometime. The length of time has allowed the document to have multiple implementations completed, along with incorporating working group feedback into the spec and polishing the document. There is strong support in the working group and the community/industry for the protocol. The work has been relatively smooth, with active positive contribution from the community. Document Quality Because of the strong interest in the protocol, the document has been actively reviewed by numerious people. With the age of the document at least two implementations have been completed in router software, along with software for the monitoring station.

In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract The popularity of Internet exchange points (IXPs) brings new challenges to interconnecting networks. While bilateral eBGP sessions between exchange participants were historically the most common means of exchanging reachability information over an IXP, the overhead associated with this interconnection method causes serious operational and administrative scaling problems for IXP participants. Multilateral interconnection using Internet route servers can dramatically reduce the administrative and operational overhead of IXP participation and these systems used by many IXP participants as a preferred means of exchanging routing information.

Please send substantive comments to the i...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-09-13. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract BGP-4 is utilised as a key intra- and inter-Autonomous System routing protocol in modern IP networks. The failure modes as defined by the original protocol standards are based on a number of assumptions around the impact of session failure. Numerous incidents both in the global Internet routing table and within Service Provider networks have been caused by strict handling of a single invalid UPDATE message causing large-scale failures in one or more Autonomous Systems. This memo describes the current use of BGP-4 within Service Provider networks, and outlines a set of requirements for further work to enhance the mechanisms available to a BGP-4 implementation when erroneous data is detected. Whilst this document does not provide specification of any standard, it is intended as an overview of a set of enhancements to BGP-4 to improve the protocol's robustness to suit its current deployment.

The IESG contact persons are Ronald Bonica and Benoit Claise. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-grow-diverse-bgp-path-dist/ Technical Summary The BGP4 protocol specifies the selection and propagation of a single best path for each prefix. As defined and widely deployed today BGP has no mechanisms to distribute alternate paths which are not considered best path between its speakers. This behaviour results in number of disadvantages for new applications and services. This document presents an alternative mechanism for solving the problem based on the concept of parallel route reflector planes. Such planes can be built in parallel or they can co-exist on the current route reflection platforms. Document also compares existing solutions and proposed ideas that enable distribution of more paths than just the best path. This proposal does not specify any changes to the BGP protocol definition. It does not require upgrades to provider edge or core routers nor does it need network wide upgrades. Working Group Summary The draft was well supported in the working group, with active conversation on the mailing list. Numerous people contributed and commented on the draft as part of the process.

The IESG contact persons are Ronald Bonica and Benoit Claise. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-grow-simple-va/ Technical Summary The continued growth in the Default Free Routing Table (DFRT) stresses the global routing system in a number of ways. One of the most costly stresses is FIB size: ISPs often must upgrade router hardware simply because the FIB has run out of space, and router vendors must design routers that have adequate FIB. FIB suppression is an approach to relieving stress on the FIB by NOT loading selected RIB entries into the FIB. Simple Virtual Aggregation (S-VA) is a simple form of Virtual Aggregation (VA) that allows any and all edge routers to shrink their RIB and FIB requirements substantially and therefore increase their useful lifetime. S-VA does not increase FIB requirements for core routers. S-VA is extremely easy to configure considerably more so than the various tricks done today to extend the life of edge routers. S-VA can be deployed autonomously by an ISP (cooperation between ISPs is not required), and can co-exist with legacy routers in the ISP.

For example, was there controversy about particular points or were there decisions where the consensus was particularly rough? Nothing worth noting. Document Quality Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a significant number of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? Are there any reviewers that merit special mention as having done a thorough review, e.g., one that resulted in important changes or a conclusion that the document had no substantive issues? If there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type or other expert review, what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type review, on what date was the request posted? I don't believe there are implementations already in existence, this draft would extend existing MRT implementations, however. Personell Chris Morrow is shepherd for this draft. ___ GROW mailing list GROW@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/grow
[GROW] Protocol Action: 'MRT routing information export format' to Proposed Standard (draft-ietf-grow-mrt-17.txt)
The IESG has approved the following document: - 'MRT routing information export format' (draft-ietf-grow-mrt-17.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Global Routing Operations Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ron Bonica and Dan Romascanu. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-grow-mrt/ Technical Summary This document describes the MRT format for routing information export. This format was developed in concert with the Multi-threaded Routing Toolkit (MRT) from whence the format takes it name. The format can be used to export routing protocol messages, state changes, and routing information base contents. Working Group Summary The working group spent a significant amount of time looking at and reviewing this document. Updates where made based on working group review, and requests for clarification. There was consensus from the working group at last call. Document Quality Several existing implements exist for this document. A new implementation was written during the review process of the draft. Specificly Geoff Huston, attempted to write code based on the draft, and drove some clarifications, and issues based on his work. The industry currently uses the protocol for export of the routing information. In addition different users are using the exported data as input for specific applications. Personnel The document has been reviewed by Peter Schoenmaker (WG co-chair.) Ron Bonica and Dan Romascanu are the ops area directors. ___ GROW mailing list GROW@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/grow
[GROW] Protocol Action: 'Unique Per-Node Origin ASNs for Globally Anycasted Services' to BCP (draft-ietf-grow-unique-origin-as-01.txt)
The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Unique Per-Node Origin ASNs for Globally Anycasted Services' (draft-ietf-grow-unique-origin-as-01.txt) as a BCP This document is the product of the Global Routing Operations Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ron Bonica and Dan Romascanu. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-grow-unique-origin-as/ Technical Summary This document makes recommendations regarding the use of per-node unique origin ASNs for globally anycasted critical infrastructure services in order to provide routing system discriminators for a given anycasted prefix. Network managment and monitoring techniques, or other operational mechanisms may employ this new discriminator in whatever manner fits their operating environment. Working Group Summary The working group has wide support. We had many different people, especially operators which supported the document and felt the work was quite worthwhile. The document is short, and even though it is a â00â draft, comments and feedback have been incorporated in document. Document Quality The document is straightforward, and well written. It covers the requirement space succinctly. Personnel Peter Schoenmaker p...@lugs.com is the document shepherd. Ron Bonica is the AD responsible for the document.
