Abstract:
Flow-spec is an extension to BGP that allows for the dissemination of
traffic flow specification rules. This has many possible
applications but the primary one for many network operators is the
distribution of traffic filtering actions for DDoS mitigation. The
flow-spec standard RFC5575 [2] defines a redirect-to-VRF action for
policy-based forwarding but this mechanism is not always sufficient,
particular if the redirected traffic needs to be steered into an
engineered path.
This document defines a new redirect-to-Path-id (32-bit or 128-bit)
flow-spec action to provide advanced redirection capabilities. When
activated, the flowspec signalled Path-id is used to identify the
next-hop redirect information within a localized to the router Path-
id redirect table. The Path-id redirect table is a table providing a
list of Path-id's and router local redirect information. This allows
a Flowspec signalled redirect towards a next-hop IP address, next-hop
local interface or next-hop (traffic engineered) tunnel interface.
