- Abstract
-
- This memo discusses Flow Attribute Notification Protocol (FANP),
- which is a protocol between neighbor nodes for the management of
- cut-through packet forwarding functionalities. In cut-through packet
- forwarding, a router doesn't have to perform conventional IP packet
- processing for received packets. FANP indicates mapping information
- between a datalink connection and a packet flow to the neighbor node
- and helps a pair of nodes manage the mapping information. By using
- FANP, routers (e.g., CSR; Cell Switch Router) can forward incoming
- packets based on their datalink-level connection identifiers,
- bypassing usual IP packet processing. The design policy of the FANP
- is;
-
- (1) soft-state cut-through path (Dedicated-VC) management
- (2) protocol between neighbor nodes instead of end-to-end
- (3) applicable to any connection oriented datalink platform
-
- 1. Background
-
- Due to the scalability requirement, connection oriented (CO) datalink
- platforms, e.g., ATM and Frame Relay, are going to be used as well as
- connection less (CL) datalink platforms, e.g., Ethernet and FDDI.
- One of the important features of the CO datalink is the presence of a
- datalink-level connection identifier. In the CO datalink, we can
- establish multiple virtual connections (VCs) with their VC
- identifiers among the nodes. When we aggregate packets that have the
- same direction (e.g., having the same destination IP address) into a
- single VC, we can forward the packets in the VC without IP
-

-
-
- processing. With this configuration, routers can decide which node
- is the next-hop for the packets based on the VC identifier. CSRs [1]
- can forward the incoming packets using an ATM switch engine bypassing
- the conventional IP processing. According to the ingress VPI/VCI
- value with ingress interface information, CSR determines the egress
- interface and egress VPI/VCI value.
-
- In order to configure the cut-through packet forwarding state, a pair
- of neighbor nodes have to share the mapping information between the
- packet flow and the datalink VC. FANP (Flow Attribute Notification
- Protocol) described in this memo is the protocol to configure and
- manage the cut-through packet forwarding state.
-
- 2. Protocol Requirements and Future Enhancement
-
- 2.1 Protocol Requirements
-
- The followings are the protocol requirements for FANP.
-
- (1) Applicable to various types of CO datalink platforms
-
- (2) Available with various connection types (i.e., SVC, PVC, VP)
-
- (3) Robust operation
- The system should operate correctly even under the following
- conditions.
-
- (a) VC failure
- Some systems can detect VC failure as the function of
- datalink (e.g., OAM function in the ATM). However, we can
- not assume all nodes in the system can detect VC failure.
- The system has to operate correctly, assuming that every
- node can not detect VC failure.
-
- (b) Message loss
- Control messages in the FANP may be lost. The system has to
- operate correctly, even when some control messages are lost.
-
- (c Node failure
- A node may be down without any explicit notification to its
- neighbors. The system has to operate correctly, even with
- node failure.
-
- Though FANP is not the protocol only for ATM, the following
- discussion assumes that the datalink is an ATM network.

-
-
- 2.2 Future Enhancement
-
- The followings are the future enhancements to be done.
-
- (1) Aggregated flow
-
- In this memo, we define the flow which contain source and
- destination IP address. As this may require many VC
- resources, we also need a new definition of aggregated flow
- which includes several end-to-end flows. The concrete
- definition of the aggregated flow is for future study.
-
- (2) Providing multicast service
- (3) Supporting IP level QOS signaling like RSVP
- (4) Supporting IPv6
-
- 3. Terminology and Definition
-
- o VCID (Virtual Connection IDentifier)
- Since VPI/VCI values at the origination and the termination points
- of a VC (and VP) may not be the same, we need an identifier to
- uniquely identify the datalink connection between neighbor nodes.
- We define this identifier as a VCID. Currently, only one type of
- VCID is defined. This VCID contains the ESI (End System
- Identifier) of a source node and the unique identifier within a
- source node.
-
- o Flow ID (Flow IDentifier)
- IP level packet flow is identified by some parameters in a packet.
- Currently, only one type of flow ID is defined. This flow ID
- contains a source IP address and a destination IP address. Note
- that flow ID used in this specification is not the same as the
- flow-id specified in IPv6.
-
- o Cut-through packet forwarding
- Packets are forwarded without any IP processing at the router
- using the datalink level information (e.g.,VPI/VCI).
- Internetworking level information (e.g., destination IP address)
- is mapped to the corresponding datalink-level identifier by using
- the FANP.
-
- o Hop-by-Hop packet forwarding
- Packets are forwarded using IP level information like conventional
- routers. In ATM, cells are re-assembled into packets at the
- router to analyze the IP header.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Nagami, et. al. Informational [Page 3]
-
- RFC 2129 FANP Specification April 1997
-
-
- o Default-VC
- Default-VC is used for hop-by-hop packet forwarding. Cells
- received from the Default-VC are reassembled into IP packets.
- Conventional IP processing is performed for these packets. The
- encapsulation over the Default-VC is LLC for routed non-ISO
- protocols defined by RFC1483 [3].
-
- o Dedicated-VC
- Dedicated-VC is used for the specific IP packet flow identified by
- the flow-ID. When the flow-ID for an incoming VC and an outgoing
- VC are the same at a CSR, it can forward the packets belonging to
- the flow through the cut-through packet forwarding. The
- encapsulation over the Dedicated-VC is LLC for routed non-ISO
- protocols defined by RFC1483 [3].
-
- o Cut-through trigger
- When a FANP capable node receives a trigger packet, it tries to
- establish Dedicated-VC and to notify the mapping information
- between the Dedicated-VC and the IP packet flow which the received
- trigger packet belongs to. Trigger packets are defined by the
- port-ID of TCP/UDP with the local policy of each FANP capable
- node. In general, they would be the port-ID's of sessions with a
- long life-time and/or with large amount of packets; e.g., http,
- ftp and nntp. Future implementation will include other triggers
- such as an arrival of resource reservation request.
-
- 4. Protocol Overview
-
- Figure 1 shows an operational overview of FANP. In the figure, a
- cut-through packet forwarding path is established from host 1 (H1) to
- host 2 (H2) using two Dedicated-VCs. H1 and H2 are connected to
- Ethernets, and R1, R2 and R3 are routers which can speak FANP. R1
- and R3 have both an ATM interface and an Ethernet interface. R2 has
- two ATM interfaces.
-
- When R1 receives an IP packet from H1, R1 analyzes the payload of the
- received IP packet whether it is a trigger packet or not. When the
- received packet is a trigger packet, R1 fetches a Dedicated-VC to its
- downstream neighbor(R2) and sends FANP messages. FANP is effective
- between the neighboring nodes only. The same procedure would be
- performed between R2 and R3 independently from the procedure between
- R1 and R2. The flow-ID of the packet flow from H1 to H2 is
- represented as id(H1,H2). Here, id(H1,H2) is the set of the IP
- address of H1 and that of H2.

-
-
- The Dedicated-VC is released when no packet is transferred on it for
- a given period. We do not need to explicitly indicate release of the
- Dedicated-VC to the neighbor node, since the state management in FANP
- is of soft-state, rather than of hard-state.

- 5. Protocol Sequence
-
- FANP has the following five procedures, that are (1) Dedicated-VC
- selection, (2) VCID negotiation, (3) flow-ID notification, (4)
- Dedicated-VC refresh and (5) Dedicated-VC release. Procedures (2),
- (3) and (4) have nothing to do with the kind of the Dedicated-
- VC;i.e.,SVC,PVC or VP. On the contrary, the procedures (1) and (5)
- with SVC are different from the procedures with PVC and with VP.
-
- The detailed procedures are described in the following subsections.
-
- 5.1 Dedicated-VC Selection Procedure
-
- A VC is picked up in order to use as a Dedicated-VC. The ways of
- picking up the Dedicated-VC is either of the followings.
-
- (1) A number of VCs are prepared in advance, and registered into an
- un-used VC list. When a Dedicated-VC is needed, one of them is
- picked up from the un-used VC list.
-
- (2) A new VC is established through ATM signaling on demand.
-
- With ATM PVC/VP configuration, a Dedicated-VC is activated by the
- procedure (1).
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Nagami, et. al. Informational [Page 5]
-
- RFC 2129 FANP Specification April 1997
-
-
- With ATM SVC configuration, a Dedicated-VC is activated by the
- procedure (1) or (2). When the procedure (1) is used, some number of
- VCs are prepared in advance through ATM signaling. These VCs are
- registered into the un-used VC list. When a Dedicated-VC is needed,
- a VC is picked up from the un-used VC list. When the procedure (2)
- is used, a Dedicated-VC is established through ATM signaling each
- time it is required.
-
- The procedure (1) can decrease a time to activate a Dedicated-VC.
- But the necessary VC resource will increase as it need to prepare
- additional VCs. Which procedure should be applied to is a matter of
- local decision in each node, taking the economical requirement and
- the system responsiveness into account.
-
- A Dedicated-VC is used as a uni-directional VC, although it is
- generally bi-directional. This means that packets are transferred
- only from upstream node to downstream node in the Dedicated-VC. The
- packets from downstream node to upstream node are transferred through
- the Default-VC or through another Dedicated-VC.
-
- 5.2 VCID Negotiation Procedure
-
- After the Dedicated-VC selection procedure, the upstream node
- transmits the PROPOSE message to the downstream node through the
- Dedicated-VC. The PROPOSE message contains a VCID for the
- Dedicated-VC and IP address (target IP address) of downstream node.
- When the downstream node accepts the PROPOSE message, it transmits
- the PROPOSE ACK message to the upstream node through the Default-VC.
- With this procedure, the upstream and the downstream nodes (both
- end-points of the Dedicated-VC) can share the same indicator "VCID"
- for the Dedicated-VC. When the downstream node can not accept the
- proposal from the upstream node with some reason (e.g., policy), the
- downstream node sends an ERROR message to the upstream node through
- the Default-VC.
-
- The procedure at the downstream node which has received PROPOSE
- message is;
-
- 1. if(Target IP address of the PROPOSE message isn't equal to my IP
- address)
- then Goto end.
-
- 2. if(The PROPOSE message should be refused)
- then Send an ERROR(refuse by policy) message. Go to end.
-
- 3. if(VCID Type in the PROPOSE message isn't known)
- then Send an ERROR(unknown VCID Type) message. Go to end.
-
-
-
-
- Nagami, et. al. Informational [Page 6]
-
- RFC 2129 FANP Specification April 1997
-
-
- 4. if(The VCID in the PROPOSE message is the same as the VCID which
- has already been registered for another Dedicated-VC in the node)
- then Delete the registered VCID.
- Release the old Dedicated-VC.
-
- 5. if(A VCID is registered for the Dedicated-VC which has received
- the PROPOSE message)
- then Delete the registered VCID.
-
- 6. Register the mapping between VCID and I/F, VPI, VCI for the
- Dedicated-VC.
-
- 7. if(The mapping is successful)
- then Send a PROPOSE ACK.
- else Send an ERROR(resource unavailable).
-
- The upstream node retransmits the PROPOSE message when it neither
- receive PROPOSE ACK message nor ERROR message. When the upstream
- node has received neither of the messages even with five
- retransmissions of the PROPOSE message, the Dedicated-VC picked up
- through the Dedicated-VC selection procedure should be released.
- Here, the number of retransmissions (five in this specification)is
- recommended value and can be modified in the future.
-
- The purpose of the VCID negotiation procedure is not only to share
- the VCID information regarding the Dedicated-VC, but also to confirm
- whether the Dedicated-VC is available and whether the neighbor node
- operates correctly.
-
- If the VCID negotiation procedure with a neighbor node always fails,
- it is considered that the node may not be FANP-capable node.
- Therefore the upstream node should not try the VCID negotiation
- procedure to that node for a certain time period.
-
- 5.3 Flow-ID Notification Procedure
-
- After the VCID negotiation procedure, the upstream node transmits an
- OFFER message to the downstream node through the Default-VC. The
- OFFER message contains the VCID of the Dedicated-VC, the flow-ID of
- the packet flow transferred through the Dedicated-VC and the refresh
- interval of a READY message.
-
- When the downstream node receives the OFFER message from the upstream
- node, it transmits the READY message to the upstream node through the
- Default-VC in order to indicate that the OFFER message issued by the
- upstream node is accepted. By the reception of the READY message,
- the upstream node realizes that the downstream node can receive IP
- packets transferred through the Dedicated-VC.
-
-
-
- Nagami, et. al. Informational [Page 7]
-
- RFC 2129 FANP Specification April 1997
-
-
- The upstream node retransmits the OFFER message when it does not
- receive a READY message from the downstream node. When the upstream
- node has not receive a READY message even with five retransmissions,
- the Dedicated-VC should be released. Here, the number of
- retransmissions (i.e., five in this specification) is a recommended
- value and may be modified in the future.
-
- The node transmits an ERROR message to its neighbor in the following
- cases. When the node receives the ERROR message, the Dedicated-VC
- should be released.
-
- (a) unknown VCID: The VCID in the message is unknown.
- (b) unknown VCID Type: The VCID Type is unknown.
- (c) unknown flow-ID Type: the flow-ID Type is unknown.
-
- When the downstream node accepts the OFFER message from the upstream
- node, it must send a READY message to the upstream node within the
- refresh interval offered by the upstream node. If it can not, the
- downstream node sends the ERROR message (this refresh interval is not
- supported) to the upstream node. The downstream node should accept
- the refresh interval larger than 120 seconds. Therefore the
- downstream node shouldn't send the ERROR message (this refresh
- interval is not supported) when the refresh interval in the OFFER
- message is larger than 120 seconds.
-
- The following describes the procedure of the node which has received
- an OFFER message.
-
- 1. if(unknown version in the OFFER message)
- then Discard the message. Goto end.
-
- 2. if(unknown VCID Type in the OFFER message)
- then Send an ERROR (unknown VCID Type) message. Goto end.
-
- 3. if(VCID in the OFFER message has not been registered)
- then Send an ERROR (unknown VCID) message. Goto end.
-
- 4. if(unknown Flow ID Type in the OFFER message)
- then Send an ERROR (unknown Flow ID Type) message. Goto end.
-
- 5. if(refuse Flow ID in the OFFER message)
- then Send an ERROR (refused by policy) message. Goto end.
-
- 6. if(refuse refresh interval in the OFFER message)
- then Send an ERROR(This refresh interval is not supported)
- message. Goto end.
-

-
- RFC 2129 FANP Specification April 1997
-
-
- 7. if(the mapping between Flow ID and VCID already exists and
- Flow ID in the OFFER message is different from the registered
- Flow ID for the corresponding VCID)
- then Do Flow-ID removal procedure. Goto end.
-
- 8. Do the procedure of receiving the OFFER message.
-
- 7. if(successful)
- then Send a READY message.
- else Send an ERROR (resource unavailable) message.
-
- 8. end.
-
- The procedure of the node which has received a READY message is
- described.
-
- 1. if(unknown version in the READY message)
- then Discard the message. Goto end.
-
- 2. if(unknown VCID Type in the READY message)
- then Send an ERROR (unknown VCID Type) message. Goto end.
-
- 3. if(VCID in the READY message has not been registered)
- then Send an ERROR (unknown VCID) message. Goto end.
-
- 4. if(unknown Flow ID Type in the READY message)
- then Send an ERROR (unknown Flow ID Type) message. Goto end.
-
- 5. if((the mapping between Flow ID and VCID doesn't exist)||
- (the mapping between Flow ID and VCID already exists and
- Flow ID in the READY message is different from registered Flow
- ID for the corresponding VCID))
- then Send an ERROR (unknown VCID) message. Goto end.
-
- 6. Do the procedure of receiving the READY message.
-
- 7. end.
-
- 5.4 Flow ID Refresh Procedure
-
- While the downstream node receives IP packets through the Dedicated-
- VC, it should periodically (with a refresh interval) send the READY
- message to the upstream node. When the downstream node does not
- receive any IP packet during the refresh interval, it does not send
- the READY message to the upstream node.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Nagami, et. al. Informational [Page 9]
-
- RFC 2129 FANP Specification April 1997
-
-
- While the upstream node continues to receive READY messages, it
- realizes that it can transmit the IP packets through the Dedicated-
- VC. When it does not receive a READY message at all for a
- predetermined period (dead interval), it removes the mapping between
- the Flow IP and VCID. The dead interval is defined below.
-
- When the upstream node falls into failure without the Flow ID removal
- procedure for a Dedicated-VC, its mapping must be removed by the
- downstream node. The downstream node removes the mapping between the
- Flow ID and VCID for the Dedicated-VC when it does not receive any IP
- packet for a "removal period" (=refresh interval times m).
-
- The refresh interval, the dead interval and the removal period should
- satisfy the following equation.
-
- refresh interval < dead interval < removal period (=refresh
- interval times m)
-
- The recommended values are:
- refresh interval = 2 minutes
- dead interval = 6 minutes (=refresh interval x 3)
- removal period = 20 minutes (=refresh interval x 10)
-
- 5.5 Flow ID Removal Procedure
-
- When the upstream node realizes that the Dedicated-VC is not used, it
- performs a Flow ID removal procedure.
-
- The Flow ID removal procedure differs between the case of PVC/VP
- configuration and the case of SVC configuration.
-
- With the PVC/VP configuration, the upstream node issues a REMOVE
- message to the downstream node, and the downstream node sends back a
- REMOVE ACK message to the upstream node. The upstream node
- retransmits REMOVE messages when it does not receive a REMOVE ACK
- message. The upstream node assumes that the downstream node is in
- failure state when it dose not receive any REMOVE ACK message from
- the downstream node even with five REMOVE message retransmissions.

-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Nagami, et. al. Informational [Page 10]
-
- RFC 2129 FANP Specification April 1997
-
-
- With SVC configuration, two procedures are possible. One is that the
- mapping between the Flow ID and the VCID is removed without the
- release of the ATM connection, which is the same procedure as the
- PVC/VP configuration. The other procedure is that the mapping
- between the Flow ID and the VCID is removed by releasing the VC
- through ATM signaling. The former procedure can promptly create and
- delete the mapping between Flow ID and VCID, since the ATM signaling
- does not have to be performed each time. However, an un-used ATM
- connections have to be maintained by the node. Which procedure is
- applied to is a matter of each CSR's local decision, taking the VC
- resource cost and responsiveness into account.
-
- The downstream node may want to remove the mapping between the Flow
- ID and the VCID. When the upstream node receives the REMOVE message,
- it sends a REMOVE ACK message to the downstream node.

- 6. Message Format
-
- FANP control procedure includes seven messages described from 6.2 to
- 6.8. Among them, a PROPOSE message used for VCID negotiation
- procedure uses an extended ATM ARP message format defined in RFC1577
- [2]. The other messages are encapsulated into IP packets.
-
- The destination IP address in the IP packet header signifies the
- neighbor node's IP address and the source IP address signifies
- sender's IP address. Currently, the protocol ID for these messages
- is 110(decimal). This protocol ID must be registered by IANA.
-
- The reserved field in the following packet format must be zero.

- 6.2 PROPOSE message
-
- PROPOSE message uses the extended ATM-ARP message format [2] to which
- the VCID type and the VCID field are added. Type & Length fields are
- set to zero, because the messages don't need sender/target ATM
- address. This message is transferred from the upstream node to the
- downstream node through the Dedicated-VC.
-
- PROPOSE message is transferred from the upstream node to the
- downstream node through the Dedicated-VC.

- 6.6 ERROR message
-
- ERROR message is transfered from a downstream node to an upstream
- node or from an upstream node to a downstream node. This message is
- transferred when some of the fields in the receive message is unknown
- or refused. When the receive message is the ERROR message, ERROR
- message isn't sent. VCID type ,VCID, Flow ID Type and Flow ID field
- in the ERROR message are filled with the same field in the receive
- message.
-
- The following is the message format.

-
- 6.7 REMOVE message
-
- REMOVE message is transfered from a downstream node to an upstream
- node or vice versa. This message is transferred to remove the
- mapping relationship between the flow ID and and the VCID. The node
- which receives REMOVE message must send REMOVE ACK message, even when
- VCID in the receive message isn't known .
