[Idr] update proposal to draft-ietf-idr-rfc5575bis-14

[ERCIN TORUN <[e-mail]>]

Hello All,

My name is Ercin TORUN<https://tr.linkedin.com/in/ercintorun> and I’m working in Turkcell Turkey (35M-mobile/2M-fixed customer, +digital services) as an IP/MPLS Network Planning Engineer.  I would like to propose an update to draft-ietf-idr-rfc5575bis-14<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idr-rfc5575bis-14>.

By default all flowspec entries (filters..) are applied to all routers, and unnecessary application of many filters can easily owerwhelm the capacity of routers resources (e.g. TCAM). We are pushing layer3 to the edges with solutions like seamless-mpls or leaf-spine next-generation DC topologies which widens the layer3 domain easily over thousands of devices. It is best to filter “dirty” traffic where it first enters a network. There are ways to accept BGP announcements only on the targeted router, like defining a community for each router and configuring policies, but an automated way would be much more easier and less error-prone. Our idea is using a route-taget to match with BGP Identifier so that only the targeted router might accept the announcement.

All in all, I propose to add below text to draft-ietf-idr-rfc5575bis-14<https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-idr-rfc5575bis-14>

“   In a common use case, it is necessary to apply a filter to one or a few
   routers and to apply many different filters to many different routers.
   By default, all filters are applied to all routers. In this use case,
   the unnecessary application of the many filters can easily overwhelm
   the capacity of the routers. To simplify this use case,
   route-targets may be used to apply the filters to only the needed routers:

   If one or more IPv4-Address-Specific route-targets are present, then
   the IPv4 address of at least one route-
   target MUST match one of the BGP Identifiers of the receiver in order
   for the update to be accepted.
“

Regards
Erçin TORUN
