RSVP Fast Local Repair


First Published: February 19, 2007
Last Updated: February 19, 2007

The RSVP Fast Local Repair feature provides quick adaptation to routing changes without the overhead of the refresh period to guarantee the quality of service (QoS) for data flows. With fast local repair (FLR), Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) speeds up its response to routing changes from 30 seconds to a few seconds.

Prerequisites for RSVP FLR

You must configure RSVP on one or more interfaces on at least two neighboring routers that share a link within the network.

Restrictions for RSVP FLR

RSVP FLR applies only when RSVP is used to set up resource reservations for IPv4 unicast flows; IPv4 multicast flows are not supported.

RSVP FLR does not apply to traffic engineering (TE) tunnels and, therefore, does not affect TE sessions.

RSVP FLR does not support message bundling.

Information About RSVP FLR

To use the RSVP FLR feature, you should understand the following concepts:

Feature Overview of RSVP FLR

Benefits of RSVP FLR

Feature Overview of RSVP FLR

RSVP FLR provides for dynamic adaptation when routing changes occur. When a route changes, the next PATH and RESV message refreshes establish path and reservation states along the new route. Depending on the configured refresh interval, this reroute happens in tens of seconds. However, during this time, the QoS of flows is not guaranteed because congestion may occur while data packets travel over links where reservations are not yet in place.

In order to provide faster adaptation to routing changes, without the overhead of a refresh period, RSVP registers with the routing information base (RIB) and receives notifications when routes change, thereby triggering state refreshes for the affected destinations. These triggered refreshes use the new route information and, as a result, install reservations over the new path.

When routes change, RSVP has to reroute all affected paths and reservations. Without FLR, the reroute happens when refresh timers expire for the path states. With real time applications such as VoIP and VoD, the requirement changes and the reroute must happen quickly, within three seconds from the triggering event such as link down or link up.

Figure 1 illustrates the FLR process.

Figure 1 Overview of RSVP FLR

Initial RSVP states are installed for an IPv4 unicast flow over Routers A, B, C, D, and E. Router A is the source or headend, while Router E is the destination or tailend. The data packets are destined to an address of Router E. Assume that a route change occurs, and the new path taken by the data packets is from Router A to Router B to Router F to Router D to Router E; therefore, the old and new paths differ on the segments between Routers B and D. The Router B to Router C to Router D segment is the old segment, while the Router B to Router F to Router D segment is the new segment.

A route may change because of a link or node failure, or if a better path becomes available.

RSVP at Router B detects that the route change affects the RSVP flow and initiates the FLR procedure. The node that initiates an FLR repair procedure, Router B in Figure 1, is the point of local repair (PLR). The node where the new and old segments meet, Router D in Figure 1, is the merge point (MP). The interfaces at the PLR and the MP that are part of the old segment are the old interfaces, while the interfaces that are part of the new segment are the new interfaces.

If a route has changed because of a failure, the PLR may not be the node that detects the failure. For example, it is possible that the link from Router C to Router D fails, and although Router C detects the failure, the route change at Router B is the trigger for the FLR procedure. Router C, in this case, is also referred to as the node that detects the failure.

Benefits of RSVP FLR

Faster Response Time to Routing Changes

FLR reduces the time that it takes for RSVP to determine that a physical link has gone down and that the data packets have been rerouted. Without FLR, RSVP may not recognize the link failure for 30 seconds when all of the sessions are impacted by having too much traffic for the available bandwidth. With FLR, this time can be significantly reduced to a few seconds.

After detecting the failure, RSVP recomputes the admission control across the new link. If the rerouted traffic fits on the new link, RSVP reserves the bandwidth and guarantees the QoS of the new traffic.

If admission control fails on the new route, RSVP does not explictly tear down the flow, but instead sends a RESVERROR message towards the receiver. If a proxy receiver is running, then RSVP sends a PATHERROR message towards the headend, in response to the RESVERROR message, indicating the admission failure. In both cases, with and without a proxy receiver, the application tears down the failed session either at the headend or at the final destination.

Until this happens, the data packets belonging to this session still flow over the rerouted segment although admission has failed and QoS is affected.

Usage Guidelines

Use the clear ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair statistics command to set all the RSVP FLR counters to zero. The statistics include information about FLR procedures such as the current state, the start time, and the repair rate.

Examples

The following example clears all the RSVP FLR counters being maintained in the database:

Router# clear ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair statistics

Related Commands

Command
Description

show ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair

Displays FLR-related information.


ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair notifications

To configure the number of per flow notifications that Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) processes during a fast local repair (FLR) procedure before suspending, use the ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair notifications command in global configuration mode. To set the number of notifications to its default, use the no form of this command.

ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair notifications number

no ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair notifications

Syntax Description

number

Total number of notifications to be sent. The range is 10 to 10000. The default is 1000.


Command Default

There are always notifications sent by the routing information base (RIB) and processed by RSVP. If this command is not configured, RSVP processes 1000 notifications, suspends, then resumes processing of another 1000 notifications, and so on.

Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(33)SRB

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

Upon a route change, RIB builds a list of notifications, one per affected flow, and notifies RSVP by sending an event including these notifications. Therefore, these events can contain thousands of elements depending on the number of path state blocks (PSBs) affected.

RSVP processes, by default, 1000 notifications at a time and then suspends if required, to prevent the CPU from being overwhelmed. However, you can configure this number using the ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair notifications command.

Examples

The following example configures the number of flows that are repaired before RSVP suspends to 100:

Router(config)# ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair notifications 100

Related Commands

Command
Description

ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair rate

Configures the repair rate that RSVP uses for an FLR procedure.

ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair wait-time

Configures the delay that RSVP uses to start an FLR procedure.

show ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair

Displays FLR-specific information maintained by RSVP.


ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair rate

To configure the repair rate that Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) uses for a fast local repair (FLR) procedure, use the ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair rate command in global configuration mode. To set the repair rate to its default, use the no form of this command.

ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair rate rate

no ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair rate

Syntax Description

rate

FLR rate for PATH state refresh and repair, in messages per second (msg/sec). The range is 0 to 5000. The default is 400.


Command Default

If this command is not configured, the RSVP message pacing rate is used.


Note The RSVP message pacing rate is enabled by default in Cisco IOS Release 12.2 and later.


Command Modes

Global configuration

Command History

Release
Modification

12.2(33)SRB

This command was introduced.


Usage Guidelines

The default repair rate is based on the RSVP message pacing rate.

If you configure the FLR rate by using the ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair rate command, and RSVP message pacing is enabled, the minimum between the FLR rate and the RSVP message pacing rate takes effect. If you disable the RSVP rate limit by using the no ip rsvp signalling rate-limit command, then the FLR rate is used. However, if you disable the RSVP rate limit and do not configure an FLR rate, then RSVP performs no message pacing and messages are sent back-to-back. This action is not recommended because the point of local repair (PLR) may flood the downstream node with PATH messages causing some of them to be dropped.

The repair rate is determined at notification time, and this same rate is used during the time of the repair even if you change either the RSVP message pacing rate or the FLR rate during this time.

Examples

The following example configures a repair rate of 100 messages per second:

Router(config)# ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair rate 100

Related Commands

Use the ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair wait-time command to configure the delay desired in starting an FLR procedure. If you do not configure a delay, then path refreshes are triggered immediately after RSVP receives a route change notification from the routing information base (RIB).

Examples

The following example configures a delay of 100 ms:

Router(config-if)# ip rsvp signalling fast-local-repair wait-time 100

Table 1 describes the significant fields shown in the display.

Table 1 show ip rsvp Field Descriptions 

Field
Description

RSVP: enabled or disabled

The state of RSVP.

Note This field is disabled only if an internal error occurred when registering with RIB.

Signalling

The RSVP signaling parameters in effect are as follows:

Refresh interval—Time, in milliseconds (ms), between sending refreshes for each RSVP state.

Refresh misses—Number of successive refresh messages that can be missed before RSVP considers the state expired and tears it down.

Rate Limiting: enabled or disabled

The RSVP rate-limiting parameters in effect are as follows:

Burst—Maximum number of RSVP messages allowed to be sent to a neighboring router during an interval.

Limit—Maximum number of RSVP messages to send per queue interval.

Maxsize—Maximum size of the message queue, in bytes.

Period—Length of an interval (timeframe), in milliseconds (msec).

Max rate—Maximum number of messages allowed to be sent per second.

Refresh Reduction: enabled or disabled

The RSVP refresh-reduction parameters in effect are as follows:

ACK delay (msec)—How long, in milliseconds, before the receiving router sends an acknowledgment (ACK).

Initial retransmit delay (msec)—How long, in milliseconds, before the router retransmits a message.

Local epoch—The RSVP message identifier (ID); randomly generated each time a node reboots or the RSVP process restarts.

Message IDs—The number of message IDs in use, the total number allocated, and the total number available (freed).

Neighbors

The total number of neighbors and the types of encapsulation in use including RSVP and User Datagram Protocol (UDP).

Hello

Subsequent fields describe the processes for which hello is enabled or disabled. Choices are Fast Reroute, reroute (hello for state timer), and Graceful restart for a node with restart capability.

Statistics

Status of hello statistics. Valid values are as follows:

Enabled—Statistics are configured. Hello packets are time-stamped when they arrive in the hello input queue for the purpose of recording the time it takes until they are processed.

Disabled—Hello statistics are not configured.

Shutdown—Hello statistics are configured, but not operational. The input queue is too long (that is, more than 10,000 packets are queued).

Graceful Restart: enabled or disabled

The RSVP Graceful Restart parameters in effect are as follows:

Refresh interval—Frequency, in milliseconds (msecs), with which a node sends a hello message to its neighbor.

Refresh misses—Number of missed hello messages that trigger a neighbor-down event upon which stateful switchover (SSO) procedures are started.

DSCP—Differentiated services code point (DSCP) value in the IP header of a hello message.

Advertised restart time—Time, in milliseconds (msecs), required for the sender to restart the RSVP-Traffic Engineering (TE) component and exchange hello messages after a failure.

Advertised recovery time—Time, in milliseconds (msecs), within which a recovering node wants its neighbor router to resynchronize the RSVP or Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) forwarding state after SSO. A zero value indicates that the RSVP or MPLS forwarding state is not preserved after SSO.

Maximum wait for recovery—Maximum amount of time, in milliseconds (msecs), that a router waits for a neighbor to recover.

Fast-Reroute

The Fast Reroute parameters in effect are as follows:

PSBs w/ Local protection desired—Yes means that path state blocks (PSBs) are rerouted when a tunnel goes down and packet flow is not interrupted; No means that PSBs are not rerouted.

Fast Local Repair: enabled or disabled

The Fast Local Repair parameters in effect are as follows:

Max repair rate (paths/sec)—Maximum repair rate, in paths per second.

Max processed (paths/run)—Maximum notification elements processed, in paths per run.

Local policy

The local policy currently configured.

COPS

The Common Open Policy Service (COPS) currently in effect.

Generic policy settings

Policy settings that are not specific to COPS or the local policy.

Default policy: Accept all means that all RSVP messages are accepted and forwarded. Reject all means all RSVP messages are rejected.

Preemption: Disabled means that RSVP is not prioritizing reservations and allocating bandwidth accordingly. Enabled means that RSVP is prioritizing reservations and allocating more bandwidth to those with the highest priority.
