IP L3VPN over SRv6 uses SRv6 tunnels to carry IP L3VPN services. This technology establishes SRv6 tunnels among geographically dispersed customer sites over an IPv6 network and transparently forwards Layer 3 customer traffic to remote sites over the IPv6 network through the tunnels.

Basic principle

Figure 1 shows a typical IP L3VPN over SRv6 network.

· PE 1 and PE 2 use BGP to advertise IPv4 or IPv6 VPN routes to each other over the IPv6 backbone network. The VPN routes contain private network routing information and SID information.

· The PEs have a single-hop SRv6 tunnel between them and they use the SRv6 tunnel to forward VPN traffic across sites.

· The devices in the IPv6 backbone network forward the SRv6-encapsulated VPN traffic through the optimal path calculated by IGP.

IP L3VPN over SRv6 connects geographically dispersed sites that belong to the same VPN over the IPv6 backbone network.

Route advertisement

The route advertisement process of IPv4 L3VPN over SRv6 is similar to that of IPv6 L3VPN over SRv6. This section uses IPv4 L3VPN over SRv6 to illustrate the process.

As shown in Figure 1, local routes of CE 1 are advertised to CE 2 by using the following process:

1. CE 1 uses static routing, RIP, OSPF, IS-IS, EBGP, or IBGP to advertise routes of the local site to PE 1.

2. After learning the route information of CE 1, PE 1 stores the private routes to the routing table of the VPN instance. In this example, VPN instance 1 is used. Then, PE 1 converts the routes to BGP VPNv4 routes and advertises the BGP VPNv4 routes to PE 2 by using MP-BGP. The BGP VPNv4 routes carry the RD, RT, and SID attributes (the SID attribute is used as the private network label).

¡ If next hop-based dynamic SID allocation is not used, all private network routes of the VPN instance are allocated the same End.DT4 or End.DT46 SID.

¡ If next hop-based dynamic SID allocation is used, private network routes with the same next hop are allocated the same End.DX4 SID in the VPN instance.

3. When PE 2 receives the VPNv4 routes advertised by PE 1, it performs the following operations:

a. Adds the routes to the routing table of VPN 1.

b. Converts the routes to IPv4 routes.

c. Advertises the IPv4 routes to CE 2.

4. By adding the received IPv4 routes to the routing table, CE 2 learns the private network routes of CE 1.

Packet forwarding

IP L3VPN over SRv6 supports the following route recursion modes:

· SRv6-BE mode.

· SRv6-TE mode.

· SRv6-TE and SRv6-BE hybrid mode.

· SRv6-TE and SRv6-BE FRR mode.

The packet forwarding process differs by the route recursion mode in use.

SRv6-BE mode

This mode is also called SID-based forwarding mode. In this mode, a PE forwards an SRv6 packet by searching the IPv6 routing table based on the SRv6 SID encapsulated in the packet.

The packet forwarding process is similar for IPv4 L3VPN over SRv6 and IPv6 L3VPN over SRv6. This section uses IPv4 L3VPN over SRv6 to illustrate the process.

As shown in Figure 1, CE 2 forwards an IPv4 packet to CE 1 as follows:

1. CE 2 sends the IPv4 packet to PE 2.

2. PE 2 receives the packet on an interface associated with VPN 1. PE 2 searches for a route that matches the destination IPv4 address of the packet in the routing table of VPN 1. The corresponding End.DT4, End.DT46, or End.DX4 SID is found. Then, PE 2 encapsulates an outer IPv6 header for the packet. The End.DT4, End.DT46, or End.DX4 SID is encapsulated in the outer IPv6 header as the destination address.

3. PE 2 searches the IPv6 routing table based on the End.DT4, End.DT46, or End.DX4 SID for the optimal IGP route and forwards the packet to P through the route.

4. P searches the IPv6 routing table based on the End.DT4, End.DT46, or End.DX4 SID for the optimal IGP route and forwards the packet to PE 1 through the route.

5. When PE 1 receives the packet, it processes the packet as follows:

¡ If the packet header contains an End.DT4 or End.DT46 SID, PE 1 searches the local SID forwarding table for the SID and removes the outer IPv6 header. Then, PE 1 matches the packet to VPN 1 based on the SID, searches the routing table of VPN 1 for the optimal route, and forwards the packet to CE 1.

¡ If the packet header contains an End.DX4 SID, PE 1 searches the local SID forwarding table for the SID and removes the outer IPv6 header. Then, PE 1 forwards the packet to CE 1 according to the next hop and output interface bound to the SID.

SRv6-TE mode

This mode is also called SRv6 TE policy-based forwarding mode. In this mode, when a PE forwards a customer packet, it first searches for a matching SRv6 TE policy based on the packet attributes. Then, the PE adds an SRH to the packet. The SRH includes the destination SRv6 SID and the SID list of the SRv6 TE policy. Finally, the PE forwards the encapsulated packet based on the SRv6 TE policy.

The following modes are available to steer traffic to an SRv6 TE policy:

· Color—The device searches for an SRv6 TE policy that has the same color and endpoint address as the color and nexthop address of a VPN route. If a matching SRv6 TE policy exists, the device recurses the VPN route to that SRv6 TE policy. When the device receives packets that match the VPN route, it forwards the packets through the SRv6 TE policy.

· Tunnel policy—The device searches the tunnel policies for a matching SRv6 TE policy based on the next hop of a matching route. Configure a preferred tunnel or load sharing tunnel policy that uses the SRv6 TE policy. In this way, the SRv6 TE policy will be used as the public tunnel to forward the packets of private network packets.

For more information about tunnel policies, see MPLS Configuration Guide. For more information about SRv6 TE policies, see "Configuring SRv6 TE policies."

SRv6-TE and SRv6-BE hybrid mode

In this mode, the PE preferentially uses the SRv6-TE mode to forward a packet. If no SRv6 TE policy is available for the packet, the PE forwards the packet in SRv6-BE mode.

SRv6-TE and SRv6-BE FRR mode

This mode implements FRR by using the SRv6-TE path (primary path) and SRv6-BE path (backup path). If the SRv6-TE path fails or does not exist, traffic is immediately switched to the SRv6-BE path to ensure service continuity.

Intercommunication between SRv6 and MPLS networks

If the private network routes at one site must pass through both SRv6 and MPLS networks to reach another site, ensure that the SRv6 and MPLS networks can communicate with each other. For this purpose, use the following solutions:

· HoVPN.

· Inter-AS option B VPN.

HoVPN

Hierarchy of VPN (HoVPN), also called Hierarchy of PE (HoPE), prevents PEs from being bottlenecks and is applicable to large-scale VPN deployment.

HoVPN divides PEs into underlayer PEs (UPEs) or user-end PEs, middle-level PEs (MPEs), and superstratum PEs (SPEs) or service provider-end PEs. UPEs, MPEs, and SPEs have different functions and comprise a hierarchical PE. The HoPE and common PEs can coexist in a network.

UPEs, MPEs, and SPEs play the following different roles:

· A UPE is directly connected to CEs. It provides user access.

· An MPE is connected to UPEs and SPEs. It manages route information advertised by UPEs.

· An SPE resides inside the service provider network. It manages and advertises VPN routes.

As shown in Figure 2, in an HoVPN network, the UPE, MPE, and SPE are connected through MPLS and SRv6 networks. L3VPN data is transmitted over the backbone network in the following scenarios:

· L3VPN over MPLS-to-SRv6.

· L3VPN over SRv6-to-MPLS.

Figure 2 Basic architecture of HoVPN

‌

As shown in Figure 2, the MPE connects the MPLS network and SRv6 network. Configure the MPE to reoriginate routes and advertise the optimal routes.

· When the MPE receives VPNv4 or VPNv6 routes from the MPLS L3VPN network, it compares the export targets of the routes with the local import targets of the VPN instance. If they match, the MPE modifies the RD and route target attributes in the routes, assigns them SRv6 SIDs, and associate the SRv6 SID and private label of each route. Then, the MPE advertises the reoriginated routes to the SRv6 network. The supported SRv6 SIDs include End.DT4, End.DT6, End.DT46, End.DX4, and End.DX6 SIDs.

· When the MPE receives VPNv4 or VPNv6 routes from the SRv6 network, it compares the export targets of the routes with the local import targets of the VPN instance. If they match, the MPE modifies the RD and route target attributes in the routes, assign them private labels, and associate the private label and SRv6 SID of each route. Then, the MPE advertises the reoriginated routes to the MPLS L3VPN network.

When the UPE and SPE learn the reoriginated optimal routes, they forward traffic according to the route information. For example, in the L3VPN over MPLS-to-SRv6 scenario, packets are forwarded as follows:

1. When the UPE receives a packet from CE 1, it encapsulates MPLS labels to the packet and forwards the packet to the MPE.

2. When the MPE receives the packet, it removes the private label from the packet and encapsulates an SRv6 SID to the packet according to the private label-SRv6 SID mapping. Then, the MPE forwards the packet to the SPE in SRv6-BE or SRv6-TE mode.

3. When the SPE receives the packet, it decapsulates the packet based on the SRv6 SID and forwards the packet to CE 2.

Inter-AS option B VPN

As shown in Figure 3, an MPLS network and an SRv6 network are in different ASs. For inter-AS communication, the devices must support SRv6 SID and MPLS label exchange.

Figure 3 Inter-AS option B VPN network diagram

‌

End.T SID

The ASBR in the SRv6 network allocates End.T SIDs based on FECs and advertises the SIDs to other SRv6 nodes through an IGP. An FEC is a destination IP address/mask or destination IPv6 address/prefix length.

The function of an End.T SID is removing the outer IPv6 header and looking up the IPv6 FIB table based on the End.T SID to forward packets.

The ASBR in the SRv6 network encapsulates an End.T SID to the packets forwarded from the SRv6 network to the MPLS network.

Route advertisement

As shown in Figure 3, the route of CE 1 is advertised to CE 2 in the following process:

1. After PE 1 learns the private network route of CE 1, it assigns MPLS label L1 to the private network route. Then, PE 1 advertises the route to ASBR 1 through MP-IBGP.

2. ASBR 1 receives the VPNv4 route from PE 1 and reoriginates the route. ASBR 1 changes the next hop address of the route to its address, assign MPLS label L2 to the route, and maps MPLS label L2 and MPLS label L1. Then, the ASBR advertises the VPNv4 route to ASBR 2 through MP-EBGP.

3. ASBR 2 receives the VPNv4 route from ASBR 1 and reoriginates the route. ASBR 2 changes the next hop address of the route to its address, allocates an End.T SID to the route, and maps the End.T SID and MPLS label L2. Then, the ASBR advertises the route to PE 2 through MP-IBGP.

4. PE 2 advertises the route to CE 2.

As shown in Figure 3, the route of CE 2 is advertised to CE 1 in the following process:

1. After PE 2 learns the private network route of CE 2, it assigns an SRv6 SID to the private network route. Then, PE 2 advertises the route to ASBR 2 through MP-IBGP. The supported SRv6 SIDs include End.DT4, End.DT6, End.DT46, End.DX4, and End.DX6 SIDs.

2. ASBR 2 receives the VPNv4 route from PE 2 and reoriginates the route. ASBR 2 changes the next hop address of the route to its address, assign MPLS label L2 to the route, and maps MPLS label L2 and the SRv6 SID. Then, the ASBR advertises the VPNv4 route to ASBR 1 through MP-EBGP.

3. ASBR 1 receives the VPNv4 route from ASBR 2 and reoriginates the route. ASBR 1 changes the next hop address of the route to its address, allocates MPLS label L1 to the route, and maps MPLS label 1 and MPLS label L2. Then, the ASBR advertises the route to PE 1 through MP-IBGP.

4. PE 1 advertises the route to CE 1.

In the inter-AS option B VPN scenario, the ASBRs need to receive all inter-AS VPN routes. On the ASBRs, do not filter received VPNv4 routes based on route targets.

Traffic forwarding

As shown in Figure 3, packets are forwarded from CE 2 to CE 1 in the following process:

1. When PE 2 receives a packet from CE 2, it encapsulates an End.T SID to the packet and forwards the packet to ASBR 2.

2. When ASBR 2 receives the packet, it removes the outer IPv6 header and looks up the IPv6 FIB table based on the End.T SID. ASBR 2 finds that the out label is L2. Then, the ASBR reencapsulates MPLS label 2 to the packet and forwards the packet to ASBR 1. The packet includes only one layer of MPLS label.

3. ASBR 1 replaces MPLS label L2 with MPLS label L1 and adds the public label that identifies the public tunnel from ASBR 1 to PE 1 to the packet. Then, ASBR 1 forwards the packet to PE 1.

4. PE 1 removes the public and private labels from the packet and forwards the packet to CE 1.

Packets are forwarded from CE 1 to CE 2 in the following process:

1. When PE 1 receives a packet from CE 1, it encapsulates two layers of MPLS labels to the packet and forwards the packet to ASBR 1. The private label is L1 and the public label identifies the public tunnel from PE 1 to ASBR 1.

2. When ASBR 1 receives the packet, it removes the public label from the packet and replaces private label L1 with private label L2. Then, ASBR 1 forwards the packet to ASBR 2. The packet includes only one layer of MPLS label.

3. ASBR 2 replaces private label L2 with an SRv6 SID and forwards the packet to PE 2 according to the SRv6 SID.

4. PE 2 executes the function of the SRv6 SID and forwards the packet to CE 2.

IP L3VPN over SRv6 FRR

IP L3VPN over SRv6 Fast Reroute (FRR) is applicable to a dualhomed scenario, as shown in Figure 4. By using static BFD to detect the primary link, FRR enables a PE to use the backup link when the primary link fails. The PE then selects a new optimal route, and uses the new optimal route to forward traffic.

IP L3VPN over SRv6 supports VPNv4 route backup for a VPNv4 route and VPNv6 route backup for a VPNv6 route.

Figure 4 Network diagram of VPNv4 route backup for a VPNv4 route

IPv4 L3VPN over SRv6 and IPv6 L3VPN over SRv6 use the same FRR mechanism. This section uses VPNv4 route backup for a VPNv4 route as an example to illustrate the mechanism.

As shown in Figure 4, configure FRR on the ingress node PE 1, and specify the backup next hop for VPN 1 as PE 3. When PE 1 receives a VPNv4 route to CE 2 from both PE 2 and PE 3, it uses the route from PE 2 as the primary link, and the route from PE 3 as the backup link.

Configure static BFD for public tunnels on PE 1 to detect the connectivity of the public tunnel from PE 1 to PE 2. When the tunnel PE 1—PE 2 operates correctly, traffic from CE 1 to CE 2 goes through the path CE 1—PE 1—PE 2—CE 2. When the tunnel fails, the traffic goes through the path CE 1—PE 1—PE 3—CE 2.

In this scenario, PE 1 is responsible for primary link detection and traffic switchover.

For more information about static BFD, see BFD configuration in High Availability Configuration Guide.

Configuring next hop-based dynamic End.DX4 or End.DX6 SID allocation for private network routes

About this task

This task is applicable to an IP L3VPN over SRv6 network. Perform this task to forward an SRv6 decapsulated VPN packet to the next hop without looking up the routing table of the VPN instance.

By default, all BGP private network routes of a VPN instance are allocated the SID of the VPN instance. When a PE removes the SRv6 encapsulation from a received packet, it looks up the routing table of the VPN instance based on the SID for an optimal route. Then, the PE forwards the packet to a CE. To forward the packet to the next hop without looking up the routing table of the VPN instance, perform this task.

This task dynamically allocates End.DX4 or End.DX6 SIDs to all next hops of the BGP private network routes in a VPN instance based on the next hop addresses. When forwarding a packet, the PE searches for the output interface and next hop based on the End.DX4 or End.DX6 SID of the packet. Then, the PE directly forwards the packet out of the output interface to the next hop.

Restrictions and guidelines

This feature does not allocate End.DX4 or End.DX6 SIDs to direct routes.

Prerequisites

Before you perform this task in BGP-VPN IPv4 or IPv6 unicast address family view, execute the segment-routing ipv6 locator command in the same view to apply a locator to the view. This ensures successful dynamic End.DX4 or End.DX6 SID allocation.

Configuring IP L3VPN over SRv6 FRR

About this task

IP L3VPN over SRv6 FRR enables the device to calculate backup routes for all routes of a VPN instance to reduce the traffic interruption caused by link or device failures on the backbone. If the device learns two unequal-cost routes destined for the same network from different peers, the optimal route is backed up by the other route. When the optimal route becomes unavailable, the device uses the backup route to forward traffic. At the same time, the device calculates a new optimal route and then uses it to direct traffic forwarding.

Restrictions and guidelines

This feature might cause routing loops in certain conditions. Make sure you are fully aware of this feature when you use it on a live network.

Configuring a TTL processing mode for tunnels associated with a VPN instance

About this task

A tunnel associated with a VPN instance supports the following TTL processing modes:

· Pipe—When an IP or IPv6 packet enters the tunnel of the VPN instance, the ingress node adds a new header to the packet. The ingress node sets the TTL value or hop limit in the new header to 255 or the value specified by using the encapsulation source-address ip-ttl command in SRv6 view. When the packet leaves the tunnel of the VPN instance, the egress node removes the new header from the packet. The TTL value or hop limit in the original packet does not change when the packet is forwarded in the tunnel. Therefore, the public network nodes are invisible to user networks, and the tracert facility cannot show the real path in the public network.

· Uniform—When an IP or IPv6 packet enters the tunnel of the VPN instance, the ingress node adds a new header to the packet. The ingress node copies the TTL value or the hop limit of the original packet to the TTL or hop limit field of the new header. When the packet leaves the tunnel of the VPN instance, the egress node copies the remaining TTL value or hop limit in the new header back to the original packet. The TTL value or hop limit can reflect how many hops the packet has traversed in the public network. The tracert facility can show the real path along which the packet has traveled.

Restrictions and guidelines

In the current software version, you can configure a TTL processing mode only for SRv6 tunnels associated with VPN instances.

Procedure

1. Enter system view.

system-view

2. Enter VPN instance view.

ip vpn-instance vpn-instance-name [ index vpn-index ]

3. Configure a TTL processing mode for the tunnels associated with the VPN instance.

For more information about this command, see MPLS L3VPN configuration in MPLS Configuration Guide.

Display and maintenance commands for IP L3VPN over SRv6

Resetting BGP sessions

For BGP setting changes to take effect, you must reset or soft-reset BGP sessions. Soft-resetting BGP sessions updates BGP routing information without tearing down the BGP sessions. Resetting BGP sessions updates BGP routing information by tearing down and re-establishing the BGP sessions. Soft-reset requires that both the local router and the peer support ROUTE-REFRESH messages.

Execute the commands in this section in user view. For more information about the commands, see BGP in Layer 3—IP Routing Command Reference.

Example: Configuring inter-AS option B VPN

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 7, an MPLS network is deployed in AS 100 and an SRv6 network is deployed in AS 200. Configure inter-AS option B VPN to permit users in the same VPN instance to communicate with each other across the MPLS and SRv6 networks.
