 Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) Encapsulated in Large Packets

Abstract

   The Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol is commonly
   used to verify connectivity between two systems.  BFD packets are
   typically very small.  It is desirable in some circumstances to know
   not only that the path between two systems is reachable, but also
   that it is capable of carrying a payload of a particular size.  This
   document specifies how to implement such a mechanism using BFD in
   Asynchronous mode.

   YANG modules for managing this mechanism are also defined in this
   document.  These YANG modules augment the existing BFD YANG modules
   defined in RFC 9314.  The YANG modules in this document conform to
   the Network Management Datastore Architecture (NMDA) (RFC 8342).

1.  Introduction

   The Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) [RFC5880] protocol is
   commonly used to verify connectivity between two systems.  However,
   some applications may require that the Path MTU [RFC1191] between
   those two systems meets a certain minimum criterion.  When the Path
   MTU decreases below the minimum threshold, those applications may
   wish to consider the path unusable.

   BFD may be encapsulated in a number of transport protocols.  An
   example is single-hop BFD [RFC5881].  In that case, the link MTU
   configuration is typically enough to guarantee communication between
   the two systems for that size MTU.  BFD Echo mode (Section 6.4 of
   [RFC5880]) is sufficient to permit verification of the Path MTU of
   such directly connected systems.  Previous proposals (e.g.,
   [BFD-ECHO-PATH-MTU]) have been made for testing Path MTU for such
   directly connected systems.  However, in the case of multihop BFD
   [RFC5883], this guarantee does not hold.

   The encapsulation of BFD in multihop sessions is a simple UDP packet.
   The BFD elements of procedure (Section 6.8.6 of [RFC5880]) cover
   validating the BFD payload.  However, the specification is silent on
   the length of the encapsulation that is carrying the BFD PDU.  While
   it is most common that the transport protocol payload (i.e., UDP)
   length is the exact size of the BFD PDU, this is not required by the
   elements of procedure.  This leads to the possibility that the
   transport protocol length may be larger than the contained BFD PDU.

2.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

3.  BFD Encapsulated in Large Packets

   Support for BFD between two systems is typically configured, even if
   the actual session may be dynamically created by a client protocol.
   A new BFD variable is defined in this document:

   bfd.PaddedPduSize
      The BFD transport protocol payload size (in bytes) is increased to
      this value.  The contents of this additional payload MUST be zero.
      The contents of this additional payload SHOULD NOT be validated by
      the receiver.  The minimum size of this variable MUST NOT be
      smaller than 24 or 26 bytes, as permitted by the element of BFD
      procedure; see Section 6.8.6 of [RFC5880].

   The Don't Fragment bit (Section 2.3 of [RFC0791]) of the IP payload,
   when using IPv4 encapsulation, MUST be set.

4.  Implementation and Deployment Considerations

4.1.  Implementations That Do Not Support Large BFD Packets

   While this document proposes no change to the BFD protocol,
   implementations may not permit arbitrarily padded transport PDUs to
   carry BFD packets.  While Section 6 of [RFC5880] warns against
   excessive pedantry, implementations may not work with this mechanism
   without additional support.

   Section 6.8.6 of [RFC5880] discusses the procedures for receiving BFD
   Control packets.  The length of the BFD Control packet is validated
   to be less than or equal to the payload of the encapsulating
   protocol.  When a receiving implementation is incapable of processing
   large BFD packets, it could manifest in one of two possible ways:

   *  A receiving BFD implementation is incapable of accepting large BFD
      packets.  This is identical to the packet being discarded.

   *  A receiving BFD implementation is capable of accepting large BFD
      packets, but the Control packet is improperly rejected during
      validation procedures.  This is identical to the packet being
      discarded.

   In each of these cases, the BFD state machine would behave as if it
   were not receiving Control packets, and the receiving implementation
   would follow normal BFD procedures regarding not having received
   Control packets.

   If large BFD packets is enabled on a session that is already in the
   Up state and the remote BFD system does not (or cannot) support
   receiving the padded BFD control packets, the session will go Down.

4.2.  Selecting MTU Size To Be Detected

   Since the consideration is Path MTU, BFD sessions using this feature
   only need to use an appropriate value of bfd.PaddedPduSize to
   exercise the Path MTU for the desired application.  This may be
   significantly smaller than the system's link MTU, e.g., desired Path
   MTU is 1512 bytes, while the interface MTU that BFD with large
   packets is running on is 9000 bytes.

   In the case multiple BFD clients desire to test the same BFD
   endpoints using different bfd.PaddedPduSize parameters,
   implementations SHOULD select the largest bfd.PaddedPduSize parameter
   from the configured sessions.  This is similar to how implementations
   of BFD select the most aggressive timing parameters for multiple
   sessions to the same endpoint.  Failure to select the largest size
   will result in BFD sessions going to the Up state and dependent
   applications not having their MTU requirements satisfied.

4.3.  Detecting MTU Mismatches

   The accepted MTU for an interface is impacted by packet encapsulation
   considerations at a given layer, e.g., Layer 2, Layer 3, tunnel, etc.
   A common misconfiguration of interface parameters is inconsistent
   MTU.  In the presence of inconsistent MTU, it is possible for
   applications to have unidirectional connectivity.

   When it is necessary for an application using BFD with Large Packets
   to test the bidirectional Path MTU, it is necessary to configure the
   bfd.PaddedPduSize parameter on each side of the BFD session.  For
   example, if the desire is to verify a 1512-byte MTU in both
   directions on an Ethernet or point-to-point link, each side of the
   BFD session must have bfd.PaddedPduSize set to 1512.  In the absence
   of such consistent configuration, BFD with Large Packets may
   correctly determine unidirectional connectivity at the tested MTU,
   but bidirectional MTU may not be properly validated.

   It should be noted that some interfaces may intentionally have
   different MTUs.  Setting the bfd.PaddedPduSize appropriately for each
   side of the BFD session supports such scenarios.

4.4.  Detecting MTU Changes

   Once BFD sessions using Large Packets has reached the Up state,
   connectivity at the tested MTU(s) for the session is being validated.
   If the Path MTU tested by the BFD with Large Packets session falls
   below the tested MTU, the BFD session will go Down.

   In the opposite circumstance (where the Path MTU increases), the BFD
   session will continue without being impacted.  BFD for Large Packets
   only ensures that the minimally acceptable MTU for the session can be
   used.

4.5.  Equal-Cost Multipath (ECMP) or Other Load-Balancing Considerations

   Various mechanisms are utilized to increase throughput between two
   endpoints at various network layers.  Such features include Link
   Aggregation Groups (LAGs) or ECMP forwarding.  Such mechanisms
   balance traffic across multiple physical links while hiding the
   details of that balancing from the higher networking layers.  The
   details of that balancing are highly implementation specific.

   In the presence of such load-balancing mechanisms, it is possible to
   have member links that are not properly forwarding traffic.  In such
   circumstances, this will result in dropped traffic when traffic is
   chosen to be load balanced across those member links.

   Such load-balancing mechanisms may not permit all link members to be
   properly tested by BFD.  This is because the BFD Control packets may
   be forwarded only along links that are up.  BFD on LAG interfaces,
   [RFC7130], was developed to help cover one such scenario.  However,
   for testing forwarding over multiple hops, there is no such specified
   general-purpose BFD mechanism for exercising all links in an ECMP.
   This may result in a BFD session being in the Up state while some
   traffic may be dropped or otherwise negatively impacted along some
   component links.

   Some BFD implementations utilize their internal understanding of the
   component links and their resultant forwarding to exercise BFD in
   such a way to better test the ECMP members and to tie the BFD session
   state to the health of that ECMP.  Due to implementation-specific
   load balancing, it is not possible to standardize such additional
   mechanisms for BFD.

   Misconfiguration of some member MTUs may lead to load balancing that
   may have an inconsistent Path MTU depending on how the traffic is
   balanced.  While the intent of BFD with large packets is to verify
   Path MTU, it is subject to the same considerations above.

   This section applies to most, if not all, BFD techniques.

4.6.  S-BFD

   This mechanism also can be applied to other forms of BFD, including
   Seamless BFD (S-BFD) [RFC7880].

5.  BFD Encapsulated in Large Packets YANG Module

5.1.  Data Model Overview

   This YANG module augments the "ietf-bfd" module to add a flag
   'padding' to enable this feature.  The feature statement 'padding'
   needs to be enabled to indicate that BFD encapsulated in large
   packets is supported by the implementation.

   Further, this YANG module augments the YANG modules for single-hop,
   multihop, LAG, and MPLS to add the "pdu-size" parameter to those
   session types to configure large BFD packets.

   Finally, similar to the grouping "client-cfg-parms" defined in
   Section 2.1 of [RFC9314], this YANG module defines a grouping "bfd-
   large-common" that may be utilized by BFD clients using "client-cfg-
   params" to uniformly add support for the feature defined in this RFC.

6.  Security Considerations

   This document does not change the underlying security considerations
   of the BFD protocol or its encapsulations.

   On-path attackers that can selectively drop BFD packets, including
   those with large MTUs, can cause BFD sessions to go Down.

   The contents of the padding payload are set to zero.  This avoids
   implementation issues where the local uninitialized data may be
   leaked.

6.1.  YANG Security Considerations

   This section is modeled after the template described in Section 3.7
   of [YANG-GUIDELINES].

   The "ietf-bfd-large" YANG module defines a data model that is
   designed to be accessed via YANG-based management protocols, such as
   NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040].  These protocols have to
   use a secure transport layer (e.g., SSH [RFC4252], TLS [RFC8446], and
   QUIC [RFC9000]) and have to use mutual authentication.

   The Network Configuration Access Control Model (NACM) [RFC8341]
   provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF or
   RESTCONF users to a preconfigured subset of all available NETCONF or
   RESTCONF protocol operations and content.

   There is one data node defined in this YANG module that is
   writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., "config true", which is the
   default).  All writable data nodes are likely to be reasonably
   sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments.  Write
   operations (e.g., edit-config) and delete operations to these data
   nodes without proper protection or authentication can have a negative
   effect on network operations.  The data node has particular
   sensitivities/vulnerabilities:

   *  'pdu-size' specifies the targeted size of BFD control packets
      encapsulated according to this proposal.  Changing this value for
      a session in the Up state may cause the session to go down,
      perhaps intentionally, if the session cannot accommodate such BFD
      control packets.  Operators should be mindful that multiple BFD
      clients may rely on the status of a given BFD session when
      changing this value.

   There are no particularly sensitive readable data nodes.

   There are no particularly sensitive RPC or action operations.

   Modules that use the groupings that are defined in this document
   should identify the corresponding security considerations.  For
   example, reusing some of these groupings will expose privacy-related
   information (e.g., 'node-example').  This module defines one such
   grouping, "bfd-large-common", which contains the "pdu-size" data node
   whose security considerations are documented above.
