Introduction Path Segment is a type of SR segment, which is used to identify an SR path. Path Segment in MPLS based segment routing network is defined in [I-D.ietf-spring-mpls-path-segment]. As specified in [I-D.ietf-spring-mpls-path-segment], when a Path Segment is used, it's inserted by the ingress node of the SR path, and then processed by the egress node of the SR path. The Path Segment Label is placed within the MPLS label stack as the last segment identifier of the segment list. The Path Segment would not be popped up until it reaches the egress node, and the egress node would pop the path segment up. This document provides Target Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) stack TLV definitions for Path-SIDs. Procedures for LSP Ping as defined in [RFC8287] and [RFC8690] are applicable to Path-SIDs as well. Min, et al. Expires 7 February 2024 [Page 2] Internet-Draft LSP Ping for SR Path SID August 2023 2. Conventions 2.1. 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. 2.2. Terminology This document uses the terminology defined in [RFC8402] and [RFC8029], readers are expected to be familiar with those terms. 3. Path Segment ID Sub-TLVs Analogous to what's defined in Section 5 of [RFC8287] and Section 4 of [I-D.ietf-mpls-sr-epe-oam], three new sub-TLVs are defined for the Target FEC Stack TLV (Type 1), the Reverse-Path Target FEC Stack TLV (Type 16), and the Reply Path TLV (Type 21). Sub-Type Sub-TLV Name -------- ----------------------------- TBD1 SR Policy's Path SID TBD2 SR Candidate Path's Path SID TBD3 SR Segment List's Path SID As specified in Section 2 of [I-D.ietf-spring-mpls-path-segment], a Path Segment can be used to identify a Segment List, all the Segment lists in a Candidate path or all the Segment Lists in an SR policy, so three different Target FEC sub-TLVs need to be defined for Path Segment ID. When a Path Segment is used to identify an SR Policy, the Target FEC sub-TLV of SR Policy's Path SID would be used to validate the control plane to forwarding plane synchronization for this Path-SID; When a Path Segment is used to identify an SR Candidate Path, the Target FEC sub-TLV of SR Candidate Path's Path SID would be used to validate the control plane to forwarding plane synchronization for this Path-SID; When a Path Segment is used to identify a Segment List, the Target FEC sub-TLV of SR Segment List's Path SID would be used to validate the control plane to forwarding plane synchronization for this Path-SID. Note that the three new Target FEC sub-TLVs are mutual exclusive and they wouldn't be present in one message simultaneously. Min, et al.

The segment- list-id is a 4-octet identifier of a segment list. 4. Path-SID FEC Validation The MPLS LSP Ping procedures MAY be initiated by the headend of the Segment Routing path or a centralized topology-aware data plane monitoring system as described in [RFC8403]. For the Path-SID, the responder nodes that receive echo request and send echo reply MUST be the endpoint of the Segment Routing path. When an endpoint receives the LSP echo request packet with top FEC being the Path-SID, it SHOULD perform validity checks on the content of the Path-SID FEC sub-TLV. The basic length check should be performed on the received FEC. SR Policy's Path SID ------------------ Length = 12 or 36 SR Candidate Path's Path SID ------------------ Length = 40 or 64 SR Segment List's Path SID ------------------ Length = 44 or 68 If a malformed FEC sub-TLV is received, then a return code of 1, "Malformed echo request received" as defined in [RFC8029] SHOULD be sent. The below section augments Section 7.4 of [RFC8287]. 4a.
