1. Introduction
IGP Flex Algorithm [I-D.ietf-lsr-flex-algo] proposes a solution that
allows IGPs themselves to compute constraint based paths over the
network, and it also specifies a way of using Segment Routing (SR)
Prefix-SIDs and SRv6 locators to steer packets along the constraint-
based paths. It specifies a set of extensions to ISIS, OSPFv2 and
OSPFv3 that enable a router to send TLVs that identify (a)
calculation-type, (b) specify a metric-type, and (c )describe a set
of constraints on the topology, that are to be used to compute the
best paths along the constrained topology. A given combination of
calculation-type, metric-type, and constraints is known as an FAD
(Flexible Algorithm Definition).
[I-D.peng-teas-network-slicing] proposes a solution to extend the
control plane of transport network to instantiate the Network Slice
Instance (NSI) in transport network. A new identifier, AII, instead
of existing TE affinity or other identifiers, is introduced to
represent a TN-slice and specify the dedicated resource for the TN-
slice.
This document extends the FAD of IGP Flex Algorithm to let IGPs
compute constraint based paths limited in specific TN-slice.

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. SR Policy Using Slice-based Resources
[I-D.ietf-spring-segment-routing-policy] details the concepts of SR
Policy and steering into an SR Policy. These apply equally to the
MPLS and IPv6 (known as SRv6) data plane instantiations of Segment
Routing with their respective representations of segments as SR-MPLS
SID and SRv6 SID as described in [RFC8402]. The color of SR policy
defines a TE purpose, which includes a set of constraints such as
bandwidth, delay, TE metric, etc.
The overlay service can select underlay SR policy according to a
meaningful color value. From the perspective of service, color is
the key to get the expected SLA, and it is a global administrative
configuration or setting that could be exchangeable between two
devices for SR policy on-demand next-hop triggering. The service
never concern whether the underlay network has been partitioned as
multi-domains, or multi-topologies. That is, color has not semantic
local within one domain, or one topology. Instead, any type of
resources such as topology, computation, storage could be selected by
the color template. In this sense, TN-slices are also high-level
resouces that could be selected by color template. A simple way to
achieve this is to contain the specific AII information in the color
template, to restrict the TE path to the corresponding TN-slice.
4. SR Policy Optimaztion with IGP Flex-algo
Indeed, FA-id defined in [I-D.ietf-lsr-flex-algo] is a short mapping
of SR policy color to optimaze segment stack depth for the IGP area
partial of the entire SR policy. The overlay service that want to be
carried over a particual SR-FA path must firstly let the SR policy
supplier know that requirement. There are two possible ways to map a
color to an FA-id. One is explicit mapping configuration within
color template, the other is dynamic to replace a long segment list
to short FA segment by headend or controller once the creterias
contained in the color-template equal to that contained in FAD.
[I-D.ietf-lsr-flex-algo] described that Application specific Flex-
Algorithm participation advertisements MAY be topology specific or
MAY be topology independent, and also emphasize that Segment Routing
Flex-Algorithm participation advertisement is topology independent,
Shaofu, et al. Expires May 30, 2020 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft IGP FA Opt Slicing November 2019
i.e., when a router advertises participation in an SR-Algorithm, the
participation applies to all topologies in which the advertising node
participates. Here the topology means Multi-Topology Routing (MTR)
described in [RFC5120], [RFC4915], [RFC5340]. [RFC8402] also
mentioned that multiple SIDs MAY be allocated to the same prefix so
long as the tuple <prefix, topology, algorithm> is unique. In fact,
this will lead to many forwarding tables, such as table per topology,
table per each combined tuple <topology, algorithm>.
According to [I-D.peng-teas-network-slicing], we donot use MTR to
identify the TN-slice and partition the virtual topology for the TN-
slice. Instead, a slice-based identifier AII is introduced to
represent a TN-slice, and the first feature of AII is a TE criteria
for TE service just like AG/EAG. In order to make the contents of
the color template and mapping FAD consistent, AII is also necessary
put into FAD.
Although the network operator may change the AII information within
the FAD for the specific FA-id, there is only one forwarding table
with constant table ID, i.e., FA-id. Note that there are also
independent forwarding tables per AII, but not those per tuple <AII,
FA-id>. That is, FA-id has not semantic local within AII, as the
same as color.
5. IGP Flex-algo Enhancement with AII
FAD that contains AII information will enhance the capability of
Flex-algo to support network slicing. For example, Loop Free
Alternate (LFA) paths for a given Flex-Algorithm can include Prefix-
SIDs advertised specifically for the given algorithm, and especially
Adjacency-SIDs for the specific AII. When different FA planes share
the same link resouce, Adjacency-SID per AII (according to
[I-D.peng-teas-network-slicing]) can distinguish the flow of
different slices well and provide different treatment.
The following figure shows an example of Flex-algo enhancement with
AII.

Suppose that node S1, A, B, D and their inter-connected links belongs
to FA-id 128 plane as well as AII-1, and S2, B, C, D and their inter-
connected links belongs to FA-id 129 plane as well as AII-2. The IGP
metric of link B-D is 100, and all other links have IGP metric 1. In
FA-id 128 plane, from S1 to destination D, the primary path is S1-D,
and the TI-LFA backup path is segment list {node(B), adjacency(B-D)}.
Similarly, In FA-id 129 plane, from S2 to destination D, the primary
path is S2-D, and the TI-LFA backup path is segment list {node(B),
adjacency(B-D)}. With the help of AII parameter contained in the FAD,
the above TI-LFA path of FA-id 128 plane will be translated to {node-
SID(B)@FA-id128, adjacency-SID(B-D)@AII-1}, and TI-LFA path of FA-id
129 plane will be translate to {node-SID(B)@FA-id129, adjacency-
SID(B-D)@AII-2}. So that node B can distinguish the flow of FA-id 128
and FA-id 129 with different treatment (e.g., QoS) and send to the
same outgoing link B-D.
For inter-domain case, different domain can config different FA-id
independently, but they can contain the same AII to construct an E2E
slice-based SR policy. IGP flex-algo is responsible for creating
constraint based paths within the domain according to FAD including
AII parameter, and BGP-LU or SDN controller is responsible for
selecting inter-domain links according to color template including
AII parameter. AII is easy to address the requirement of E2E Slicing
view.
