L2VPN Services over Segment Routing Traffic Engineering Tunnel

Segment Routing (SR) is a flexible and scalable way of performing source routing. The source device selects a path and encodes it in the packet header as an ordered list of segments. Segments are identifiers for any type of instruction.

Segment routing for traffic engineering (SR-TE) takes place through a tunnel between a source and destination pair. SR-TE uses the concept of source routing, where the source calculates the path and encodes it in the packet header as a segment. In SR-TE preferred path, each segment is an end-to-end path from the source to the destination, and instructs the routers in the provider core network to follow the specified path instead of the shortest path calculated by the IGP. The destination is unaware of the presence of the tunnel.

The user can achieve better resilience and convergence for the network traffic, by transporting MPLS L2VPN services using segment routing, instead of MPLS LDP. Segment routing can be directly applied to the MPLS architecture without changing the forwarding plane. In a segment-routing network that uses the MPLS data plane, LDP or other signaling protocol is not required; instead label distribution is performed by IGP. Removing protocols from the network simplifies its operation and makes it more robust and stable by eliminating the need for protocol interaction. Segment routing utilizes the network bandwidth more effectively than traditional MPLS networks and offers lower latency.

Preferred tunnel path functionality allows you to map pseudowires to specific traffic-engineering tunnel paths. Attachment circuits are cross-connected to specific SR traffic engineering tunnel interfaces instead of remote PE router IP addresses reachable using IGP or LDP. Using preferred tunnel path, the traffic engineering tunnel transports traffic from the source to destination PE routers. A path is selected for an SR Policy when the path is valid and its preference is the best (highest value) among all the candidate paths of the SR Policy.

L2VPN Preferred path

L2VPN preferred-path configuration allows you to steer pseudowire (PW) traffic over an SR-TE tunnel at the granularity of per PW level. It is recommended to use preferred-path configuration together with statically configured SR policy. EVPN ODN configuration allows you to steer PW traffic over an SR-TE tunnel at the granularity of per EVPN instance (EVI) level. When both the preferred-path and EVPN ODN configurations are used on a PW, preferred-path configuration takes precedence.

Feature Description

VPWS over SR-TE Policy

Release 7.7.1

Using the SR-TE policy, you can now set the preferred path between two endpoints for Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS). This gives you the advantage of a reduced number of dedicated networks to provision IP and VPN services across SR-TE tunnels.

The VPWS is a method to provide Ethernet-based point to point communication over MPLS or IP networks.

VPWS connects two locations via a pseudowire (PW). PW traffic is encapsulated within an MPLS label stack that is used to route the traffic.

SR-TE uses SR policies to control the path the PW takes through the network, as opposed to using Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) to distribute labels.


Note
For more information on SR-TE policy, see the Configure SR-TE Policies section in the Segment Routing Configuration Guide for Cisco 8000 Series Routers, IOS XR.

Cisco 8000 series routers provide the following methods of implementing VPWS:

  • EVPN VPWS

  • LDP VPWS

  • EVPN VPWS On-Demand Nexthop

Figure 1. VPWS over SR-TE

The image shows a PW between the routers R1 and R3. By default, the PW takes the direct path from R1 to R3.

You can configure an SR-TE policy with preferred path to steer the traffic to pass through R2.

VPWS PW over Preferred SR-TE using Statically Configured SR Policy

This feature allows you to set the preferred path between the two endpoints for EVPN VPWS PW or LDP VPWS PW using statically configured policy. This feature is supported on bundle attachment circuit (AC) and physical AC.

Restrictions

  • EVPN VPWS SR policy is not supported on EVPN VPWS dual homing.

  • EVPN validates if the route is for a single home nexthop, otherwise it issues an error message about a dangling SR TE policy, and continues to set up EVPN-VPWS without it. EVPN relies on ESI value being zero to determine if this is a single home or not. If the AC is a Bundle-Ether interface running LACP then you must manually configure the ESI value to zero to overwrite the auto-sense ESI as EVPN VPWS multihoming is not supported.

    To disable EVPN dual homing, configure bundle-Ether AC with ESI value set to zero.

EVPN VPWS PW over Preferred SR-TE using On-Demand Nexthop SR Policy

This feature enables you to fetch the best path to send traffic from the source to destination in a point-to-point service using IOS XR Traffic Controller (XTC). On-Demand Nexthop (ODN) with SR-TE is supported on EVPN VPWS.

When redistributing routing information across domains, provisioning of multi-domain services (Layer2 VPN and Layer 3 VPN) poses complexity and scalability issues. ODN with SR-TE feature delegates computation of an end-to-end Label Switched Path (LSP) to a path computation element (PCE). This PCE includes constraints and policies without any redistribution. It then installs the reapplied multi-domain LSP for the duration of the service into the local forwarding information base(FIB).

ODN uses BGP dynamic SR-TE capabilities and adds the path to the PCE. The PCE has the ability to find and download the end-to-end path based on the requirements. ODN triggers an SR-TE auto-tunnel based on the defined BGP policy. The PCE learns real-time topologies through BGP and/or IGP.

IOS XR Traffic Controller (XTC)

The path computation element (PCE) describes a set of procedures by which a path computation client (PCC) reports and delegates control of head-end tunnels sourced from the PCC to a PCE peer. The PCE peer requests the PCC to update and modify parameters of LSPs it controls. It also enables a PCC to allow the PCE to initiate computations and to perform network-wide orchestration.

Restrictions

  • Maximum number of auto-provisioned SR-TE policies is 1000.

  • EVPN VPWS SR policy is not supported on EVPN VPWS dual homing.

    EVPN validates if the route is for a single home nexthop, otherwise it issues an error message about a dangling SR-TE policy, and continue to setup EVPN-VPWS without it. EVPN relies on ESI value being zero to determine if this is a single home or not. If the AC is a Bundle-Ether interface running LACP then you need to manually configure the ESI value to zero to overwrite the auto-sense ESI as EVPN VPWS multihoming is not supported.

    To disable EVPN dual homing, configure bundle-Ether AC with ESI value set to zero.
