Implementing UCMP

The unequal cost multipath (UCMP) load-balancing provides the capability to load balance traffic proportionally across multiple paths, with different cost. Generally, higher bandwidth paths have lower Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) metrics configured, so that they form the shortest IGP paths.

With the UCMP load-balancing enabled, protocols can use even lower bandwidth paths or higher cost paths for traffic, and can install these paths to the forwarding information base (FIB). These protocols still install multiple paths to the same destination in FIB, but each path will have a 'load metric/weight' associated with it. FIB uses this load metric/weight to decide the amount of traffic that needs to be sent on a higher bandwidth path and the amount of traffic that needs to be sent on a lower bandwidth path.

In the following example, there are 3 paths to get to Network X as follows:

Figure 1. Topology for UCMP

Paths

Cost from Router E to Net -X

E-B-A

40

E-C-A

50

E-D-A

40

IGP selects the lowest path links, i.e E-B-A and E-D-A. The path E-C-A is not considered for load balancing because of higher cost. The lowest path link E-D (5) is not a tie breaker, as the end to end cost to the Network X is considered.

More than 32 ECMP and UCMP paths are not supported for these features:

  • LI

  • GRE

  • BVI

  • NetFlow

  • Satellite

  • MCAST

  • SPAN

  • PWHE

  • ABF

  • P2MP

  • MVPN

  • VPLS

  • L2TPv3

  • LISP

  • VIDMON

  • PBR

ECMP vs. UCMP Load Balancing

Load balancing is a forwarding mechanism that distributes traffic over multiple links based on certain parameters. Equal Cost Multi Path (ECMP) is a forwarding mechanism for routing packets along multiple paths of equal cost with the goal to achieve almost equally distributed link load sharing. This significantly impacts a router's next-hop (path) decision.

In ECMP, it is assumed that all links available are of similar speed which inherently means that the hash values that are computed are equally shared over the multiple paths available.

For instance, if we have two paths available, the buckets (which in the end identify the links to be chosen) will be assigned in a 50% / 50% loadsharing. This can be problematic when one path is say a 10G link and the other link is a 1G link. In this case, you probably want to assign a (near) 90/10 type deviation, but considering that BGP is not bandwidth aware, the 10G path is still chosen 50% of the time as much as the 1G link. In this scenario, not all paths are of equal cost path.

What UCMP does in this case is apply a weight to a path which means that we are giving more hash buckets to one path that has a higher weight. The weight applied is static in the sense that it is derived by the DMZ bandwidth extended community either assigned to a peer or as configured via the Route Policy Language (RPL) route manipulation functionality.

In general, a routing protocol decides a best path to a destination based on a metric. This metric is generally driven by the bandwidth of the circuit. When we have 3 paths available, say 1G/10G/100G, routing protocols generally discard the 1G/10G paths available. In defined cases, one may want to spread the load over the circuits based on the load they can carry. In this example, one may want to distribute traffic in a 1%/10%/89% fashion over the 1G/10G/100G paths available.

UCMP Minimum Integer Ratio

The UCMP Minimum Integer Ratio feature saves hardware resources when programming UCMP, by using optimized number of buckets.

To calculate the UCMP minimum integer ratio, find the greatest common divisor (GCD) and divide all the calculated normalized weights.

In the following Figure, we have three configured weights 40, 50, and 40, with GCD as 10. To calculate the normalized weight, divide the configured weight by GCD. In this example, we need to divide 40 by 10, 50 by 10, and 40 by 10, which is 4, 5, and 4 respectively. Therefore 4, 5, and 4 are the new normalized weights.

New normalized weights are: 40/10 = 4, 50/10 = 5, and 40/10 = 4

If GCD is 1, then Normalized Weight = (Path weight/Total weight) * Maximum bucket size

Configuring OSPF UCMP with Cost

The following example shows how to configure UCMP under OSPF default vrf with IPv4. The same can be done with IPv6.

R5 is advertising its two loopbacks with IP addresses 10.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.1 into OSPF. R1 learns these loopbacks through three directly connected next hops, R2, R3, and R4.

The metrics are as follows:

  • Total link metric between R1 and R5 via R2 is 40.

  • Total link metric between R1 and R5 via R3 is 50

  • Total link metric between R1 and R5 via R4 is 40

Before

Based on the metrics, R1 installs two ECMP paths via R2 and R4 only. Path via R5 is not installed due to higher cost.

Configuring OSPF UCMP with Cost Only for Certain Prefixes

The following example shows how to configure UCMP under OSPF default VRF with IPv4 only for prefixes that match an access list. Ensure to follow the same procedure with IPv6.

R5 is advertising its two loopbacks with IP addresses 10.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.1 into OSPF. R1 learns these loopbacks via three directly connected next hops, R2, R3, and R4.

The metrics are as follows:

  • Total link metric between R1 and R5 via R2 is 40

  • Total link metric between R1 and R5 via R3 is 50

  • Total link metric between R1 and R5 via R4 is 40

Before

Based on the metrics, R1 installs two ECMP paths via R2 and R4 only. Path via R5 is not installed due to higher cost.

The following example verifies CEF entry. Then, for two paths with weights of 200 and 300 respectively, and GCD of 100; the expected normalized weights are 2 and 3.

Configuring IS-IS With Metric

The following example shows IS-IS metric configuration with IPv4. The same can be done with IPv6.

Router# enable
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# router isis 1 
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-isis)# interface GigabitEthernet0/3/0/8 
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-isis-if)# address-family ipv4 unicast 
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-isis-if-af)# metric 1
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-isis)# interface GigabitEthernet0/3/0/9 
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-isis-if)# address-family ipv4 unicast 
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-isis-if-af)# metric 100

Verification

The following example verifies CEF entry, and checks for the two paths with metric values of 1 and 100, respectively. In this example, the best path route metric is 21 and the UCMP path route metric is 120. Therefore, the calculation is as follows:

The best path route metric, 21 = (1 configured + 20 added by IS-IS), weight 0xFFFFFFFF (4294967295)

The UCMP path route metric, 120 = (100 + 20), weight = (21/120) * 4294967295 = 751619276

GCD is one. So Normalized Weight is:

(4294967295 * 64) / (4294967295 + 751619276) = 54

(751619276 * 64) / (4294967295 + 751619276) = 9

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-bgp-nbr-af)# route-policy pass-all out

Verification

Step 1: Verify CEF entry:

Via 1.0.0.2: set extcommunity bandwidth (2906:45750000) – Weight = 45750000/125=366000 (125 ratio because baud)

Via 2.0.0.2: set extcommunity bandwidth (2906:47250000) – Weight = 47250000/125=378000

GCD is 6, so norm_weight = 61 and 63. Though 61 + 63 > 64.

Step 2: GCD of weights 61 and 63 is 1. Therefore, Normalised Weight = (Path weight/Total weight) * Maximum bucket size. The maximum bucket size value is 64. Total weight = 61+63 = 124.

norm_weight1 = (61/124) * 64 = 31, norm_weight2 = (63/124) * 64 = 32

You can verify the weight distribution in BGP, using the following command:

Configuring TE Tunnel With Weights

Use the load-share command on tunnel-te config to set weight. 

RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config)# interface tunnel-te1
RP/0/RSP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# load-share 8

Verification

In the following example, the weight is distributed among the five TE tunnels.

Policy-Based Tunnel Selection

Policy-Based Tunnel Selection (PBTS) provides a mechanism that lets you direct traffic into specific TE tunnels based on different criteria.

PBTS is a special case in UCMP calculation. It uses load share command to configure weight. The UCMP algorithm normalizes each class independently and it uses max_path from PD specific max_tunnels_per_class, which is 64 for ASR9K. UCMP with PBTS can have more total_paths (buckets) than the supported number of paths (buckets) for all Forwarding Classes (FCs), which is 64 for ASR9K.

All other XR platform sets 8 buckets per FC and 64 buckets for all 8 (0-7) FCs. After normalization, the total number buckets do not exceed platform limit.

Example

The show cef ipv6 command displays the PBTS class information in the following output.
