Introduction [RIFT] is a protocol that focuses heavily on operational simplicity. It natively supports Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) functionality that allows each node to automatically derive its place in the topology and configure itself accordingly when properly cabled as a Clos, Fat- Tree, or other similarly structured variant. Head, et al. Expires 29 December 2022 [Page 2] Internet-Draft RIFT Auto-FR June 2022 IS-IS Flood Reflection [IS-IS-FR] is a mechanism that enables flat single-area Level 2 IS-IS topologies to scale well beyond their typical properties when deployed in similar topological structures by: 1. Reducing the number of required links and adjacencies. 2. Reducing the size of the Link-State Database. 3. Reducing the amount of flooding. 4. Reducing the number of SPF computations. 5. Reducing the maximum SPF computation time. RIFT Auto-Flood Reflection (Auto-FR) combines these technologies by using RIFT's ZTP functionality in order to automatically provision IS-IS Flood Reflection topologies in a completely distributed fashion. 1.1. Requirements Language The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. 2. Design Considerations IS-IS Flood Reflection operates using Flood Reflectors at the top of the fabric and Flood Reflector Clients at the bottom of the fabric. Any nodes in the middle are not required to support Flood Reflection functionality, nor do they need to support Auto-FR. Nodes in a Flood Reflection topology require specific variables for deployment. For example, a Cluster ID that is unique to the particular fabric or loopback addresses that are unique to a particular node. RIFT has enough topological information to derive these variables with the appropriate scope in a distributed fashion automatically. Once the Flood Reflection topology is built, RIFT Key-Value TIEs can be used to distribute operational state information to allow for cluster-wide validation without any additional tooling. Head, et al. Expires 29 December 2022 [Page 3] Internet-Draft RIFT Auto-FR June 2022 3. Auto-FR Device Roles Auto-FR requires that each node understands its given role within the scope of the Flood Reflection deployment, so each node derives the necessary variables and resulting configuration. 3.1. All Participating Nodes Not all nodes have to participate in Auto-FR, however, if a node does assume an Auto-FR role, it MUST derive the following variables: *Flood Reflection Cluster ID* The Flood Reflection Cluster ID us to distinguish reflection domains (similar to the Cluster ID use in BGP Route Reflection). *IPv6 Loopback Address* Unique IPv6 loopback address. *IS-IS System ID* The IS-IS System Identifier used in deriving the IS-IS NET Address. *IS-IS NET Address* The IS-IS NET Address used to uniquely identify an IS-IS node. 3.2. Flood Reflectors This section defines an Auto-FR role whereby some ToF (Top-of-Fabric) nodes act as IS-IS Flood Reflectors. It is expected that Flood Reflectors will establish Level 2 IS-IS adjacencies with Flood Reflector Clients in the same area, in the same fabric. The typical Flood Reflector requirements do not change, however, determining which specific values to use requires further consideration. ToF nodes performing Flood Reflector functionality MUST derive the following variables: *IPv6 Flood Reflector Loopback Address* Unique IPv6 loopback address. 3.3. Flood Reflectors Clients Although no specific variables for Flood Reflector Clients are described at this time, the generic role is specified as a placeholder for future enhancements. Head, et al. Expires 29 December 2022 [Page 4] Internet-Draft RIFT Auto-FR June 2022 *Future Consideration* Future Consideration 4. Auto-FR Variable Derivation As previously mentioned, not all nodes are required to derive all variables in a network. For example, spine nodes may only be required for transit traffic and not need to support Auto-FR at all. All variables are derived from RIFT's FSM or ZTP mechanism, so no additional flooding other than RIFT's typical flooding is required. It is also important to mention that all variable derivation is in some way based on the RIFT System ID and/or Cluster ID and MUST comply precisely with calculation methods specified in the Auto-FR Variable Derivation section to allow interoperability between different implementations. All necessary foundational code elements are also mentioned there. 4.1. RIFT System ID The 64-bit RIFT System ID that uniquely identifies a node as defined in [RIFT]. This not derived specifically for Auto-FR, but for all RIFT nodes and is used in the derivation procedures described in this section. 4.2. Auto-FR Version This section describes extensions to both the RIFT LIE and Node-TIE packet schemas in the form of a 16-bit value that identifies the Auto-FR Version. Auto-FR capable nodes MUST support this extension, but MAY choose not to advertise it in LIEs and Node-TIEs when Auto-FR is not being utilized. The complete encoding.thrift schema documented in [RIFT] describes both major and minor protocol/schema versions. Auto-FR Version calculation is done by multiiplying a static value of 256 by the major version then adding the minor version, that is to say - 256 * MAJOR + MINOR. This section also describes an extension to the NodeCapabilities schema indicating whether or not a node supports Auto-FR. The appendix (Appendix A) details necessary changes to the LIEPacket, NodeTIEElement, and NodeCapabilities Thrift schemas. Head, et al. Expires 29 December 2022 [Page 5] Internet-Draft RIFT Auto-FR June 2022 4.3. Flood Reflection Cluster ID This section describes extensions to both the RIFT LIE and Node-TIE packet schemas in the form of a 32-bit value that identifies the Auto-FR Cluster ID. Auto-FR capable nodes MUST support this extension, but MAY choose not to advertise it in LIEs and Node-TIEs when Auto-FR is not being utilized. Deployments using more than one Auto-FR cluster MUST use different Cluster IDs. Failure to do so may cause sub-optimal routing as L1/L2 nodes from different clusters would belong to the same subnet. A Cluster ID with a value of 0 is considered invalid and MUST NOT be used for any purpose. The appendix (Appendix A) details necessary changes to the LIEPacket and NodeTIEElement Thrift schemas. 4.4. Flood Reflection Preference This section describes extensions to the Node-TIE packet schema in the form of a 32-bit value that indicates a Flood Reflection Preference value to be used during Flood Reflector election procedures with the higher value being preferred. Auto-FR capable nodes MUST support this extension. The appendix (Appendix A) details necessary changes to the NodeTIEElement Thrift schemas. 4.5. IS-IS System ID Auto-FR nodes MUST derive a unique 8-byte IS-IS System ID for use in deriving the IS-IS NET Address. Calculation is done using the 8-byte RIFT System ID and 4-byte Cluster ID. In order for nodes to derive an IS-IS System ID, the following algorithms are required - auto_fr_cidsid2isissid (Figure 9) and auto_fr_v6hash (Figure 14). 4.6. IS-IS NET Address Auto-FR nodes MUST derive a unique 10-byte IS-IS NET (Network Entity Title) Address to uniquely identify itself within the Flood Reflection topology. The 1st byte (which indicates the AFI) MUST have a value of "49". The last byte (i.e. the NSEL) MUST have a value of 0. Remaining calculation is done using the 8-byte RIFT System ID and 4-byte Cluster ID. Head, et al. Expires 29 December 2022 [Page 6] Internet-Draft RIFT Auto-FR June 2022 In order for nodes to derive an IS-IS NET Address, the following algorithms are required - auto_fr_cidsid2isisnet (Figure 8) and auto_fr_cidsid2isissid (Figure 9). 4.7. Loopback Address Auto-FR nodes MUST derive a ULA-scoped IPv6 loopback address to be used in IS-IS. Calculation is done using the 6-bytes of reserved ULA space, the 4-byte Cluster ID, and the node's 8-byte RIFT System ID. Derivation of the IS-IS System ID varies slightly depending upon the node's location/role in the fabric and will be described in subsequent sections. 4.7.1. Leaf Nodes as Flood Reflector Clients Leaf Nodes acting as Flood Reflector Clients MUST derive their loopback address according to the specific section describing the algorithm. Calculation is done using the 6-bytes of reserved ULA space, the 4-byte Cluster ID, and the 8-byte RIFT System ID. In order for leaf nodes to derive IPv6 loopbacks, the following algorithms are required - auto_fr_cidsidv6loopback (Figure 11) and auto_fr_v6prefixcidsid2loopback (Figure 15). IPv4 addresses MAY be supported, but it should be noted that they have a higher likelihood of collision. The appendix contains the required auto_fr_cidsid2v4loopback (Figure 10) algorithm to support IPv4 loopback derivation. 4.7.2. ToF Nodes as Flood Reflectors ToF nodes acting as Flood Reflectors MUST derive their loopback address according to the specific section describing the algorithm. Calculation is done using the 6-bytes of reserved ULA space, the 4-byte Cluster ID, and the 8-byte RIFT System ID. In order for ToF nodes to derive IPv6 loopbacks, the following algorithms are required - auto_fr_cidsidv6loopback (Figure 11), auto_fr_v6prefixcidsid2loopback (Figure 15), and auto_fr_cidfrpref2frloopback (Figure 7). IPv4 addresses MAY be supported, but it should be noted that they have a higher likelihood of collision. The appendix contains the required auto_fr_cidsid2v4loopback (Figure 10) algorithm to support IPv4 loopback derivation. Head, et al. Expires 29 December 2022 [Page 7] Internet-Draft RIFT Auto-FR June 2022 4.7.2.1. Flood Reflector Election Procedures Each ToF performs the election independently based on the RIFT System IDs and a Flood Reflection preference value of other ToF nodes in the fabric obtained via southbound reflection. The Flood Reflector election procedures are defined as follows: 1. Highest System ID with the highest preference. 2. Lowest System ID with the highest preference. 3. 2nd highest System ID with the 2nd highest preference. 4. etc. This ordering is necessary to prevent a single node with either the highest or lowest System ID from triggering changes to flood reflector loopback addresses as it would result in all IS-IS adjacencies flapping. For example, if ToF01 (System ID: 002c6af5a281c000 / FR Preference: 100) and ToF02 (System ID: 002c6bf5788fc000 / FR Preference: 1) went through the election process, ToF02 would be elected due to it having the highest System ID. If a ToF determines that it is elected as a Flood Reflector, it uses the knowledge of its position in the list to derive Flood Reflector IPv6 loopback address. A topology MUST elect at least 1 ToF node as an IS-IS Flood Reflector, but SHOULD elect 3. The election process varies depending upon whether or not the topology is comprised of a single plane or multiple planes. The multiplane election procedure will be described in a future version of this document. The algorithm shown in "auto_fr_sids2frs" (Figure 12) is required to perform the Flood Reflector election procedures. 5. RIFT Requirements 5.1. RIFT FSM / LIE Validation Requirements RIFT FSM adjacency rules MUST consider Auto-FR Version (Section 4.2) and Auto-FR Cluster ID (Section 4.3) values so that nodes that do not support Auto-FR can interoperate with nodes that do. The LIE validation is extended with the following clause and if it is not met, miscabling should be declared: Head, et al. Expires 29 December 2022 [Page 8] Internet-Draft RIFT Auto-FR June 2022 (if auto_flood_reflection_version is not advertised by either node OR if auto_flood_reflection_version is identical on both nodes) AND (auto_flood_reflection_cluster_id is not advertised by either node OR auto_flood_reflection_cluster_id is identical on both nodes) 5.2. RIFT Node-TIE Advertisements All nodes utilizing Auto-FR MUST advertise their Auto-FR Version (Section 4.2), Flood Reflection Cluster ID (Section 4.3), and Flood Reflection Preference (Section 4.4) values in at least one Node-TIE in each direction (i.e. North and South). 6. Operational Considerations To fully realize the benefits of Auto-FR, it may help to describe the high-level method. Simply put, RIFT automatically provisions the underlay and Auto-FR provisions the Flood Reflection topology. The goal of this section is to draw simple lines between general fabric concepts, RIFT, and Auto-FR and how they fit into current network designs and practices. This section also describes a set of optional Key-Value TIEs [RIFT-KV] that leverages the variables that have already been derived to provide further operational enhancement to the operator. 6.1.

Each node is named and labelled in such a way that conveys: 1. The node's generic placement within the context of the RIFT underlay Head, et al. Expires 29 December 2022 [Page 10] Internet-Draft RIFT Auto-FR June 2022 2. The node's level(s) within the IS-IS area. 3. The node's role within the IS-IS Flood Reflection topology. Table 1 should help further align these concepts. +----------------+-------------+------------------------+ | RIFT Placement | IS-IS Level | IS-IS FR Role | +================+=============+========================+ | ToF Nodes | L1/L2 | Flood Reflector | +----------------+-------------+------------------------+ | Spine Nodes | L1 | N/A | +----------------+-------------+------------------------+ | Leaf Nodes | L1/L2 | Flood Reflector Client | +----------------+-------------+------------------------+ Table 1: Role Associations Connections between various nodes can be understood in two different ways: 1. Lines between ToF and leaf nodes are Level 2 IS-IS Flood Reflection adjacencies. 2. Lines between spine and leaf are part of the physically connected underlay. 3. Lines between ToF and spine are part of the physically connected underlay. It is important to remember that Auto-FR is not altering the way in which IS-IS Flood Reflection operates in any way, it simply takes existing deployment scenarios and simplifies the provisioning process. 6.2. Auto-FR Analytics Leaf nodes MAY optionally advertise analytics information about the Auto-FR fabric to ToF nodes using RIFT Key-Value TIEs [RIFT-KV]. This may be helpful in that validation and troubleshooting activities can be performed on the ToF nodes rather than manually verifying the state separately on multiple leaf nodes. Head, et al.
