Overview of Link-State Information in Border Gateway Protocol

In a number of environments, a component external to a network is called upon to perform computations based on the network topology and current state of the connections within the network, including Traffic Engineering (TE) information. This information is typically distributed by interior gateway protocol (IGP) routing protocols within the network.

This module describes a mechanism by which link-state (LS) and Traffic Engineering (TE) information from IGPs are collected from networks and shared with external components using the BGP routing protocol, which uses a new BGP Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) encoding format. This mechanism is applicable to both physical and virtual links. Applications of this technique include Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) servers and Path Computation Elements (PCEs), which are outside the network, but requires real-time information of the state of the network. For example, the link-state database information of each IGP node (OSPF or IS-IS) from the entire network.

In order to address the need for applications that require topological visibility across IGP areas, or even across Autonomous Systems (AS), the BGP-LS address-family or a sub-address-family have been defined to allow BGP to carry link-state information. The identifying key of each link-state object, for example, a node, link, or prefix, is encoded in the NLRI and the properties of the object are encoded in the BGP-LS attribute.

The below figure describes a typical deployment scenario of a network that utilizes BGP-LS. In each IGP area, one or more nodes are configured with BGP-LS. These BGP speakers form an IBGP mesh by connecting to one or more route- reflectors. This way, all BGP speakers (specifically the route- reflectors (RR)) obtain link-state information from all IGP areas (and from other ASes from EBGP peers). An external component connects to the route-reflector to obtain this information (perhaps moderated by a policy regarding what information is or is not advertised to the external component). An external component (for example, a controller) then can collect these information in the "northbound" direction across IGP areas or ASes and construct the end-to-end path (with its associated SIDs) that are applied to an incoming packet for end-to-end forwarding.

Carrying Link-State Information in Border Gateway Protocol

Carrying link-state information contains two parts:

Definition of a new BGP NLRI that describes links, nodes, and prefixes comprises of IGP link-state information.
Definition of a new BGP-LS attribute that carries link, node, and prefix properties and attributes, such as the link and prefix metric or auxiliary Router IDs of nodes, and so on.

TLV Format

Information in the new Link-State NLRIs and attributes is encoded in Type/Length/Value (TLV) triplets. The TLV format is shown in the below figure.

0                   1                   2                   3
      0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
     |              Type             |             Length            |
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
     //                        Value (variable)                     //
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

The Length field defines the length of the value portion in octets (thus, a TLV with no value portion would have a length of zero).

Link-State NLRI

The MP_REACH_NLRI and MP_UNREACH_NLRI attributes are BGP's containers for carrying opaque information. Each Link-State Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) describes either a node, a link, or a prefix. NLRI body is a set of Type/Length/Value triplets (TLV) and contains the data that identifies an object.

     //                  Link-State NLRI (variable)                 //
     |                                                               |
     +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

NLRI Types

The Total NLRI length field contains the cumulative length, in octets, of the rest of the NLRI, not including the NLRI Type field or itself.

           +------+---------------------------+
                   | Type | NLRI Type                 |

Node Descriptors

Each link is anchored by a pair of Router-IDs that are used by the underlying IGP, namely, a 48-bit ISO System-ID for IS-IS and a 32-bit Router-ID for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. An IGP may use one or more additional auxiliary Router-IDs, mainly for traffic engineering purposes. For example, IS-IS may have one or more IPv4 and IPv6 TE Router-IDs. These auxiliary Router-IDs must be included in the link attribute.

Link Descriptors

The Link Descriptor field is a set of Type/Length/Value (TLV) triplets. The link descriptor TLVs uniquely identify a link among multiple parallel links between a pair of anchor routers. A link described by the link descriptor TLVs actually is a "half-link", a unidirectional representation of a logical link. In order to fully describe a single logical link, two originating routers advertise a half-link each, that is, two Link NLRIs are advertised for a given point-to-point link.

Prefix Descriptors

The Prefix Descriptor field is a set of Type/Length/Value (TLV) triplets. Prefix Descriptor TLVs uniquely identify an IPv4 or IPv6 prefix originated by a node.

BGP-LS Attribute

The BGP-LS attribute is an optional, non-transitive BGP attribute that is used to carry link, node, and prefix parameters and attributes. It is defined as a set of Type/Length/Value (TLV) triplets. This attribute should only be included with Link-State NLRIs. This attribute must be ignored for all other address families.

How to Configure OSPF With Border Gateway Protocol Link-State

OSPF is one of the IGP protocols that feeds its topology into BGP into the LS cache. Link state information can be passed to BGP in two ways:

When new communications between OSPF and BGP has been established, or when BGP-LS functionality has been initially enabled under OSPF, then all LSA information is downloaded to BGP via the LS library.
As new LSA information is being processed or received from remote OSPF nodes, this information is added or updated in BGP.

Configuring Border Gateway Protocol Link-State With OSPF

Perform the following steps to configure OSPF with BGP-LS:

Enable the OSPF routing protocol and enter router configuration mode.
```
router ospf
```
For example,
```
Device(config-router)# router ospf 10
```

Distribute BGP link-state.

 distribute link-state

For example,

Device(config-router)# distribute link-state instance-id <instid>

Device(config-router)# distribute link-state throttle <time>

instance-id (optional): Sets instance ID for LS distribution. Default Value is 0. Range: 32 to 2^32-1.

throttle (optional): Sets throttle time to process LS distribution queue. Default value is 5 seconds. Range: 1 to 3600 seconds.

Note

In the scenarios where any area gets deleted, throttle timer does not get honored. Queue is walked by OSPF completely and updates to all the areas are sent to BGP.

If you do not specify any value for instance ID and throttle, default values are taken.

Example:

#show run | sec router ospf
router ospf 10
distribute link-state instance-id 33 throttle 6

Note

You should not be using the same instance ID for two OSPF instances. It throws an instance ID already in use error.

How to Configure IS-IS With Border Gateway Protocol Link-State

IS-IS distributes routing information into BGP. IS-IS processes the routing information in it's LSP database and extract the relevant objects. It advertises IS-IS nodes, links, and prefix information and their attributes into BGP. This update from IS-IS into BGP only happens when there is a change in the LSP fragments, either belonging to the local router or any remote routers.

Configuring IS-IS With Border Gateway Protocol Link-State

Perform the following steps to configure IS-IS with BGP-LS:

Enable the IS-IS routing protocol and enter router configuration mode.
```
router isis
```
For example,
```
Device(config-router)# router isis
```
Distribute BGP link-state.
```
 distribute link-state
```
For example,
```
Device(config-router)# distribute link-state instance-id <instid> 
```
```
Device(config-router)# distribute link-state throttle <time> 
```
instance-id (optional): Sets instance ID for LS distribution. The range is from 32-4294967294.

throttle (optional): Sets throttle time to process LS distribution queue. The range is from 5-20 seconds.

Configuring BGP

Perform the following steps to configure BGP with BGP-LS:

Enable the BGP routing protocol and enter router configuration mode.
```
router bgp
```
For example,
```
Device(config-if)# router bgp 100
```

Configure the address-family link-state.

address-family link-state link-state

For example,

Device(config-router)# address-family link-state link-state

Exit the address-family.
```
exit-address-family
```
For example,
```
Device(config-router)# exit-address-family
```
