Route consistency

High availability features such as packaging, restartability, and Out of Resource (OOR) handling

Benefits of CEF

CEF offers the following benefits:

Improved performance—CEF is less CPU-intensive than fast-switching route caching. More CPU processing power can be dedicated to Layer 3 services such as quality of service (QoS) and encryption.

Scalability—CEF offers full switching capacity at each modular services card (MSC).

Resilience—CEF offers an unprecedented level of switching consistency and stability in large dynamic networks. In dynamic networks, fast-switched cache entries are frequently invalidated due to routing changes. These changes can cause traffic to be process switched using the routing table, rather than fast switched using the route cache. Because the Forwarding Information Base (FIB) lookup table contains all known routes that exist in the routing table, it eliminates route cache maintenance and the fast-switch or process-switch forwarding scenario. CEF can switch traffic more efficiently than typical demand caching schemes.

CEF Components

Cisco IOS XR CEF always operates in CEF mode with two distinct components: a Forwarding Information Base (FIB) database and adjacency table—a protocol-independent adjacency information base (AIB).

CEF is a primary IP packet-forwarding database for Cisco IOS XR software. CEF is responsible for the following functions:

Software switching path

Maintaining forwarding table and adjacency tables (which are maintained by the AIB) for software and hardware forwarding engines

The following CEF forwarding tables are maintained in Cisco IOS XR software:

IPv4 CEF database

IPv6 CEF database

MPLS LFD database

Multicast Forwarding Table (MFD)

The protocol-dependent FIB process maintains the forwarding tables for IPv4 and IPv6 unicast in the route processor (RP) and each MSC.

The FIB on each node processes Routing Information Base (RIB) updates, performing route resolution and maintaining FIB tables independently in the RP and each MSC. FIB tables on each node can be slightly different. Adjacency FIB entries are maintained only on a local node, and adjacency entries linked to FIB entries could be different.

CEF Nonrecursive Accounting

CEF nonrecursive accounting aggregates packet and byte statistics for routes.

The per-load information counters are associated with each Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) or Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) next hop, and account for traffic flowing through a specific IGP prefix to different destinations. The IGP prefixes are the advertised next hops to which traffic is forwarded from the router. Traffic is sent to the different BGP destinations that claim the IGP prefix as their next hop.

BGP Policy Accounting

BGP policy accounting measures and classifies IP traffic that is sent to, or received from, different peers. Policy accounting is enabled on an individual input or output interface basis, and counters based on parameters such as community list, autonomous system number, or autonomous system path are assigned to identify the IP traffic.


Note There are two types of route policies. The first type (regular BGP route policies) is used to filter the BGP routes advertised into or out from the BGP links. This type of route policy is applied to the specific BGP neighbor. The second type (specific route policy) is used to set up a traffic index for the BGP prefixes. This route policy is applied to the global BGP IPv4 address family to set up the traffic index when the BGP routes are inserted into the RIB table. BGP policy accounting uses the second type of route policy.


Using BGP policy accounting, you can account for traffic according to the route it traverses. Service providers can identify and account for all traffic by customer and bill accordingly. In Figure 1, BGP policy accounting can be implemented in Router A to measure packet and byte volumes in autonomous system buckets. Customers are billed appropriately for traffic that is routed from a domestic, international, or satellite source.


Note BGP policy accounting measures and classifies IP traffic for BGP prefixes only.


Figure 1 Sample Topology for BGP Policy Accounting

Based on the specified routing policy, BGP policy accounting assigns each prefix a traffic index (bucket) associated with an interface. BGP prefixes are downloaded from the Routing Information Base (RIB) to the FIB along with the traffic index.

There are a total of 63 (1 to 63) traffic indexes (bucket numbers) that can be assigned for BGP prefixes. Internally, there is an accounting table associated with the traffic indexes to be created for each input (ingress) and output (egress) interface. The traffic indexes allow you to account for the IP traffic, where the source IP address, the destination IP address, or both are BGP prefixes.


Note Traffic index 0 contains the packet count using Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) routes.


Reverse Path Forwarding (Strict and Loose)

Unicast IPv4 and IPv6 Reverse Path Forwarding (uRPF), both strict and loose modes, help mitigate problems caused by the introduction of malformed or spoofed IP source addresses into a network by discarding IP packets that lack a verifiable IP source address.

When strict uRPF is enabled, the source address of the packet is checked in the FIB. If the packet is received on the same interface that would be used to forward the traffic to the source of the packet, the packet passes the check and is further processed; otherwise, it is dropped.

When loose uRPF is enabled, the source address of the packet is checked in the FIB. If it exists and matches a valid forwarding entry, the packet passes the check and is further processed; otherwise, it is dropped. Loose and strict uRPF supports two options: allow self-ping and allow default. Self-ping allows the source of the packet to ping itself. Allow default allows the lookup result to match a default routing entry.

Route Processor Management Ethernet Forwarding

Forwarding from the MSC interface to the RP Management Ethernet is disabled by default. The rp mgmtethernet forwarding command is used to enable forwarding from the MSC interface to RP Management Ethernet.

Forwarding from the RP Management Ethernet to the MSC interface, and from the RP Management Ethernet to RP Management Ethernet, is enabled by default.


Note The rp mgmtethernet forwarding command is not supported on the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router.

Configuring BGP Policy Accounting

This task allows you to configure BGP policy accounting.


Note There are two types of route policies. BGP policy accounting uses the type that is used to set up a traffic index for the BGP prefixes. The route policy is applied to the global BGP IPv4 address family to set up the traffic index when the BGP routes are inserted into the RIB table.


BGP policy accounting enables per interface accounting for ingress and egress IP traffic based on the traffic index assigned to the source IP address (BGP prefix) and destination IP address (BGP prefix). The traffic index of BGP prefixes can be assigned according to the following parameters using Routing Policy Language (RPL):

prefix-set

AS-path-set

community-set


Note BGP policy accounting is supported on IPv4 prefixes only.


Two configuration tasks provide the ability to classify BGP prefixes that are in the RIB according to the prefix-set, AS-path-set, or the community-set parameters:

1. Use the route-policy command to define the policy for traffic index setup based on the prefix-set, AS-path-set, or community-set.

2. Use the BGP table-policy command to apply the defined route policy to the global BGP IPv4 unicast address family.

See the Cisco IOS XR Routing Command Reference for information on the route-policy and table-policy commands.

BGP policy accounting can be enabled on each interface with the following options:

Use the ipv4 bgp policy accounting command with one of the following keyword options:

input source-accounting

input destination-accounting

input source-accounting destination-accounting

Use the ipv4 bgp policy accounting command with one of the following keyword options:

output source-accounting

output destination-accounting

output source-accounting destination-accounting

Use any combination of the keywords provided for the ipv4 bgp policy accounting command.

Configure AS-path-set and prefix-set:

as-path-set as107
  ios-regex '107$'
end-set

as-path-set as108
  ios-regex '108$'
end-set

prefix-set RT-65.0

end-set

prefix-set RT-66.0
  66.0.0.0/16 ge 16 le 32
end-set

Configure the route-policy (table-policy) to set up the traffic indexes based on each prefix, AS-path-set, and prefix-set:

route-policy bpa1

  if destination in  (27.1.1.0/24) then
    set traffic-index 1
  elseif destination in  (27.1.2.0/24) then
    set traffic-index 2
  elseif destination in  (27.1.3.0/24) then
    set traffic-index 3
  elseif destination in  (27.1.4.0/24) then
    set traffic-index 4
  elseif destination in  (27.1.5.0/24) then
    set traffic-index 5
  endif

  if destination in  (28.1.1.0/24) then
    set traffic-index 6
  elseif destination in  (28.1.2.0/24) then
    set traffic-index 7
  elseif destination in  (28.1.3.0/24) then
    set traffic-index 8
  elseif destination in  (28.1.4.0/24) then
    set traffic-index 9
  elseif destination in  (28.1.5.0/24) then
    set traffic-index 10
  endif

  if as-path in as107 then
       set traffic-index 7
  elseif as-path in as108 then
       set traffic-index 8
  endif

  if destination in RT-65.0 then
     set traffic-index 15
  elseif destination in RT-66.0 then
     set traffic-index 16
  endif

end-policy

Configure the regular BGP route-policy to pass or drop all the BGP routes:

route-policy drop-all
  drop
end-policy
!
route-policy pass-all
  pass
end-policy
!

Configure the BGP router and apply the table-policy to the global ipv4 address family:

router bgp 100
 bgp router-id Loopback1
 bgp graceful-restart
 bgp as-path-loopcheck
 address-family ipv4 unicast
  table-policy bpa1
  maximum-paths 8
  bgp dampening
 !

Configure the BGP neighbor-group:

neighbor-group ebgp-peer-using-int-addr
  address-family ipv4 unicast
   policy pass-all in
   policy drop-all out
  !
 !
 neighbor-group ebgp-peer-using-int-addr-121
  remote-as 121
  address-family ipv4 unicast
   policy pass-all in
   policy drop-all out
  !
 !

  address-family ipv4 unicast
   policy pass-all in
   policy pass-all out
  !
 !

Configure BGP neighbors:

neighbor 4.1.0.2
  remote-as 107
  use neighbor-group ebgp-peer-using-int-addr
 !
 neighbor 8.1.0.2
  remote-as 108
  use neighbor-group ebgp-peer-using-int-addr
 !
 neighbor 17.1.0.2
  use neighbor-group ebgp-peer-using-int-addr-121
 !
 neighbor 17.1.1.2
  use neighbor-group ebgp-peer-using-int-addr-121
 !
neighbor 18.1.0.2
  remote-as 122
  use neighbor-group ebgp-peer-using-int-addr
 !
 neighbor 18.1.1.2
  remote-as 1221
  use neighbor-group ebgp-peer-using-int-addr
 !
end

Verifying BGP Policy Statistics: Example

The following example shows how to verify the traffic index setup for each BGP prefix and BGP Policy Accounting statistics on ingress and egress interfaces. The following traffic stream is configured for this example:

Traffic comes in from TenGigE0/2/0/4 and goes out to 5 VLAN subinterfaces under TenGigE0/2/0/2

Traffic comes in from POS0/0/08 and goes out to POS0/0/0/4
