Example: Configuring Next-Hop-Based MPLS-Over-UDP Dynamic Tunnels
This example shows how to configure a dynamic MPLS-over-UDP tunnel that includes a tunnel composite next hop. The MPLS-over-UDP feature provides a scaling advantage on the number of IP tunnels supported on a device.
Starting in Junos OS Release 18.3R1,
MPLS-over-UDP tunnels are supported on PTX Series routers and QFX Series switches. For
every dynamic tunnel configured on a PTX router or a QFX switch, a tunnel composite next
hop, an indirect next hop, and a forwarding next hop is created to resolve the tunnel
destination route. You can also use policy control to resolve the dynamic tunnel over
select prefixes by including the forwarding-rib configuration statement at the [edit routing-options
dynamic-tunnels]
hierarchy level.
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
-
Five MX Series routers with MPCs and MICs.
-
Junos OS Release 16.2 or later running on the provider edge (PE) routers.
Before you begin:
-
Configure the device interfaces, including the loopback interface.
-
Configure the router ID and autonmous system number for the device.
-
Establish an internal BGP (IBGP) session with the remote PE device.
-
Establish OSPF peering among the devices.
Overview
Starting with Junos OS Release 16.2, a dynamic UDP tunnel supports the creation of a tunnel composite next hop for every UDP tunnel configured. These next-hop-based dynamic UDP tunnels are referred to as MPLS-over-UDP tunnels. The tunnel composite next hop are enabled by default for the MPLS-over-UDP tunnels.
MPLS-over-UDP tunnels can be bidirectional or unidirectional in nature.
-
Bidirectional—When the PE devices are connected over MPLS-over-UDP tunnels in both directions, it is called a bidirectional MPLS-over-UDP tunnel.
-
Unidirectional—When two PE devices are connected over MPLS-over-UDP tunnel in one direction, and over MPLS/IGP in the other direction, it is called an unidirectional MPLS-over-UDP tunnel.
Unidirectional MPLS-over-UDP tunnels are used in migration scenarios, or in cases where two PE devices provide connectivity to each other over two disjoint networks. Because reverse direction tunnel does not exist for unidirectional MPLS-over-UDP tunnels, you must configure a filter-based MPLS-over-UDP decapsulation on the remote PE device for forwarding the traffic.
Starting in Junos OS Release 18.2R1, on PTX series routers and QFX10000 with unidirectional MPLS-over-UDP tunnels, you must configure the remote PE device with an input filter for MPLS-over-UDP packets, and an action for decapsulating the IP and UDP headers for forwarding the packets in the reverse tunnel direction.
For example, on the remote PE device, Device PE2, the following configuration is required for unidirectional MPLS-over-UDP tunnels:
PE2
[edit firewall filter] user@host# set Decap_Filter term udp_decap from protocol udp user@host# set Decap_Filter term udp_decap from destination-port 6635 user@host# set Decap_Filter term udp_decap then count UDP_PKTS user@host# set Decap_Filter term udp_decap then decapsulate mpls-in-udp user@host# set Decap_Filter term def then count def_pkt user@host# set Decap_Filter term def then accept
In the above sample configuration, Decap_Filter is the name of the firewall filter used for MPLS-over-UDP decapsulation. The term udp_decap is the input filter for accepting UDP packets on the core-facing interface of Device PE2, and then decapsulate the MPLS-over-UDP packets to MPLS-over-IP packets for forwarding.
You can use the existing firewall operational mode commands, such as show
firewall filter
to view the filter-based MPLS-over-UDP
decapsulation.
For example:
user@host >show firewall filter Decap_Filter Filter: Decap_Filter Counters: Name Bytes Packets UDP_PKTS 16744 149 def_pkt 13049 136
For unidirectional MPLS-over-UDP tunnels:
-
Only IPv4 address is supported as the outer header. Filter-based MPLS-over-UDP decapsulation does not support IPv6 address in the outer header.
-
Only the default routing instance is supported after decapsulation.
Starting in Junos OS Release 17.1, on MX Series routers with MPCs and MICs, the scaling limit of MPLS-over-UDP tunnels is increased.
Starting in Junos Release 19.2R1, on MX Series routers with MPCs and MICs, carrier supporting carrier (CSC) architecture can be deployed with MPLS-over-UDP tunnels carrying MPLS traffic over dynamic IPv4 UDP tunnels that are established between supporting carrier's PE devices. With this enhancement, the scaling advantage that the MPLS-over-UDP tunnels provided is further increased. The CSC support with MPLS-over-UDP tunnel is not supported for IPv6 UDP tunnel.
The existing dynamic tunnel feature requires complete static configuration. Currently, the tunnel information received from peer devices in advertised routes is ignored. Starting in Junos OS Release 17.4R1, on MX Series routers, the next-hop-based dynamic MPLS-over-UDP tunnels are signaled using BGP encapsulation extended community. BGP export policy is used to specify the tunnel types, advertise the sender side tunnel information, and parse and convey the receiver side tunnel information. A tunnel is created according to the received type tunnel community.
Multiple tunnel encapsulations are supported by BGP. On receiving multiple capability, the next-hop-based dynamic tunnel is created based on the configured BGP policy and tunnel preference. The tunnel preference should be consistent across both the tunnel ends for the tunnel to be set up. By default, MPLS-over-UDP tunnel is preferred over GRE tunnels. If dynamic tunnel configuration exists, it takes precedence over received tunnel community.
When configuring a next-hop-based dynamic MPLS-over-UDP tunnel, be aware of the following considerations:
-
An IBGP session must be configured between the PE devices.
-
A switchover between the next-hop-based dynamic tunnel encapsulations (UDP and GRE) is allowed, and this can impact network performance in terms of the supported IP tunnel scaling values in each mode.
-
Having both GRE and UDP next-hop-based dynamic tunnel encapsulation types for the same tunnel destination leads to a commit failure.
-
For unidirectional MPLS-over-UDP tunnels, you must explicitly configure filter-based MPLS-over-UDP decapsulation on the remote PE device for the packets to be forwarded.
-
Graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) is supported with MPLS-over-UDP, and the MPLS-over-UDP tunnel type flags are unified ISSU and NSR compliant.
-
MPLS-over-UDP tunnels are supported on virtual MX (vMX) in Lite mode.
-
MPLS-over-UDP tunnels support dynamic GRE tunnel creation based upon new IPv4-mapped-IPv6 next hops.
-
MPLS-over-UDP tunnel are supported in interoperability with contrail, wherein the MPLS-over-UDP tunnels are created from the contrail vRouter to an MX gateway. To enable this, the following community is required to be advertised in the route from the MX Series router to the contrail vRouter:
[edit policy-options community] udp members 0x030c:64512:13;
At a given point in time, only one tunnel type is supported on the contrail vRouter—next-hop-based dynamic GRE tunnels, MPLS-over-UDP tunnels, or VXLAN.
-
The following features are not supported with the next-hop-based dynamic MPLS-over-UDP tunnel configuration:
-
RSVP automatic mesh
-
Plain IPV6 GRE and UDP tunnel configuration
-
Logical systems
-
Topology
Figure 1 illustrates a Layer 3 VPN scenario over dynamic MPLS-over-UDP tunnels. The customer edge (CE) devices, CE1 and CE2, connect to provider edge (PE) devices, PE1 and PE2, respectively. The PE devices are connected to a provider device (Device P1), and an internal BGP (IBGP) session interconnects the two PE devices. A dynamic next-hop-based bidirectional MPL-over-UDP tunnel is configured between the PE devices.
The MPLS-over-UDP tunnel is handled as follows:
-
After a MPLS-over-UDP tunnel is configured, a tunnel destination mask route with a tunnel composite next hop is created for the tunnel in the inet.3 routing table. This IP tunnel route is withdrawn only when the dynamic tunnel configuration is deleted.
The tunnel composite next-hop attributes include the following:
-
When Layer 3 VPN composite next hop is disabled—Source and destination address, encapsulation string, and VPN label.
-
When Layer 3 VPN composite next hop and per-prefix VPN label allocation are enabled—Source address, destination address, and encapsulation string.
-
When Layer 3 VPN composite next hop is enabled and per-prefix VPN label allocation is disabled—Source address, destination address, and encapsulation string. The route in this case is added to the other virtual routing and forwarding instance table with a secondary route.
-
-
The PE devices are interconnected using an IBGP session. The IBGP route next hop to a remote BGP neighbor is the protocol next hop, which is resolved using the tunnel mask route with the tunnel next hop.
-
After the protocol next hop is resolved over the tunnel composite next hop, indirect next hops with forwarding next hops are created.
-
The tunnel composite next hop is used to forward the next hops of the indirect next hops.

Anti-Spoofing Protection for Next-Hop-Based Dynamic Tunnels Overview
With the rise in deployment of high-scale IP tunnels in data centers, there is a need to add security measures that allow users to limit malicious traffic from compromised virtual machines (VMs). One possible attack is the injecting of traffic into an arbitrary customer VPN from a compromised server through the gateway router. In such cases, anti-spoofing checks on IP tunnels ensure that only legitimate sources are injecting traffic into data centers from their designated IP tunnels.
Next-hop-based dynamic IP tunnels create a tunnel composite next hop for every dynamic tunnel created on the device. Because next-hop-based dynamic tunnels remove the dependency on physical interfaces for every new dynamic tunnel configured, configuring next-hop-based dynamic tunnels provides a scaling advantage over the number of dynamic tunnels that can be created on a device. Starting in Junos OS Release 17.1, anti-spoofing capabilities for next-hop-based dynamic IP tunnels is provided for next-hop-based dynamic tunnels. With this enhancement, a security measure is implemented to prevent injecting of traffic into an arbitrary customer VPN from a compromised server through the gateway router.
Anti-spoofing is implemented using reverse path forwarding checks in the Packet Forwarding Engine. The checks are implemented for the traffic coming through the tunnel to the routing instance. Currently, when the gateway router receives traffic from a tunnel, only the destination lookup us done and the packet is forwarded accordingly. When anti-spoofing protection is enabled, the gateway router also does a source address lookup of the encapsulation packet IP header in the VPN, in addition to the tunnel destination lookup. This ensures that legitimate sources are injecting traffic through their designated IP tunnels. As a result, anti-spoofing protection ensures that the tunnel traffic is received from a legitimate source on the designated tunnels.
Figure 2 illustrates a sample topology with the requirements for anti-spoofing protection.
In this example, the gateway router is Router G. Router G has two VPNs—Green and Blue. The two servers, Server A and Server B, can reach the Green and Blue VPNs on Router G through the next-hop-based dynamic tunnels T1 and T2, respectively. Several hosts and virtual machines (P, Q, R, S, and T) connected to the servers can reach the VPNs through the gateway router, Router G. Router G has the virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) tables for Green and Blue VPNs, each populated with the reachability information for the virtual machines in those VPNs.
For example, in VPN Green, Router G uses tunnel T1 to reach host P, tunnel T2 to reach hosts R and S, and load balancing is done between tunnels T1 and T2 to reach the multihomed host Q. In VPN Blue, Router G uses tunnel T1 to reach hosts P and R, and tunnel T2 to reach hosts Q and T.
The check passes for reverse path forwarding when:
A packet comes from a legitimate source on its designated tunnel.
Host P in VPN Green sends a packet to host X using tunnel T1. Because Router G can reach host P through tunnel T1, it allows the packet to pass and forwards the packet to host X.
A packet comes from a multihomed source on its designated tunnels.
Host Q in VPN Green is multihomed on servers A and B, and can reach Router G through tunnels T1 and T2. Host Q sends a packet to host Y using tunnel T1, and a packet to host X using tunnel T2. Because Router G can reach host Q through tunnels T1 and T2, it allows the packets to pass and forwards them to hosts Y and X, respectively.
Layer 3 VPNs do not have anti-spoofing protection enabled by
default. To enable anti-spoofing for next-hop-based dynamic tunnels,
include the ip-tunnel-rpf-check
statement at the [edit
routing-instances routing-instance-name routing-options
forwarding-table]
hierarchy level. The reverse path forwarding
check is applied to the VRF routing instance only. The default mode
is set to strict
, where the packet that comes from a source
on a nondesignated tunnel does not pass the check. The ip-tunnel-rpf-check
mode can be set as loose
, where the reverse path forwarding
check fails when the packet comes from a nonexistent source. An optional
firewall filter can be configured under the ip-tunnel-rpf-check
statement to count and log the packets that failed the reverse path
forwarding check.
The following sample output shows an anti-spoofing configuration:
[edit routing-instances routing-instance-name routing-options forwarding-table] ip-tunnel-rpf-check { mode loose; fail-filter filter-name; }
Take the following guidelines under consideration when configuring anti-spoofing protection for next-hop-based dynamic tunnels:
Anti-spoofing protection can be enabled for IPv4 tunnels and IPv4 data traffic only. The anti-spoofing capabilities are not supported on IPv6 tunnels and IPv6 data traffic.
Anti-spoofing for next-hop-based dynamic tunnels can detect and prevent a compromised virtual machine (inner source reverse path forwarding check) but not a compromised server that is label-spoofing.
The next-hop-based IP tunnels can originate and terminate on an inet.0 routing table.
Anti-spoofing protection is effective when the VRF routing instance has label-switched interfaces (LSIs) (using the
vrf-table-label
), or virtual tunnel (VT) interfaces. Withper-next-hop
label on the VRF routing instance, anti-spoofing protection is not supported.The
rpf fail-filter
is applicable only to the inner IP packet.Enabling anti-spoofing checks does not affect the scaling limit of the next-hop-based dynamic tunnels on a device.
The system resource utilization with anti-spoofing protection enabled for the VRF routing instance is slightly higher than the utilization of next-hop-based dynamic tunnels without the anti-spoofing protection enabled.
Anti-spoofing protection requires additional source IP address checks, which has minimal impact on network performance.
Graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) and in-service software upgrade (ISSU) are supported with anti-spoofing protection.
Example: Configuring Anti-Spoofing Protection for Next-Hop-Based Dynamic Tunnels
This example shows how to configure reverse path forwarding checks for the virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) routing instance to enable anti-spoofing protection for next-hop-based dynamic tunnels. The checks ensure that legitimate sources are injecting traffic through their designated IP tunnels.
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
Three MX Series Routers with MICs, each connected to a host device.
Junos OS Release 17.1 or later running on one or all the routers.
Before you begin:
Enable tunnel services configuration on the Flexible PIC Concentrator.
Configure the router interfaces.
Configure the router-ID and assign an autonomous system number for the router.
Establish an internal BGP (IBGP) session with the tunnel endpoints.
Configure RSVP on all the routers.
Configure OSPF or any other interior gateway protocol on all the routers.
Configure two dynamic next-hop-based IP tunnels between the two routers.
Configure a VRF routing instance for every router-to-host connection.
Overview
Starting in Junos OS Release 17.1, anti-spoofing capabilities are added to next-hop-based dynamic IP tunnels, where checks are implemented for the traffic coming through the tunnel to the routing instance using reverse path forwarding in the Packet Forwarding Engine.
Currently, when the gateway router receives traffic from a tunnel, only the destination address lookup is done before forwarding. With anti-spoofing protection, the gateway router does a source address lookup of the encapsulation packet IP header in the VPN to ensure that legitimate sources are injecting traffic through their designated IP tunnels. This is called the strict mode and is the default behavior of anti-spoofing protection. To pass traffic from nondesignated tunnels, the reverse path forwarding check is enabled in the lose mode. For traffic received from nonexistent sources, the reverse path forwarding check fails for both the strict and loose modes.
Anti-spoofing is supported on VRF routing instances. To enable
anti-spoofing for dynamic tunnels, include the ip-tunnel-rpf-check
statement at the [edit routing-instances routing-instance-name
routing-options forwarding-table]
hierarchy level.
Topology
Figure 3 illustrates a sample network topology enabled with anti-spoofing protection. Routers R0, R1 and R2 are each connected to hosts Host0, Host1, and Host2, respectively. Two generic routing encapsulation (GRE) next-hop-based dynamic tunnels, Tunnel 1 and Tunnel 2 – connect Router R0 with Routers R1 and R2, respectively. The VRF routing instance is running between each router and its connected host devices.
Taking as an example, three packets (Packets A, B, and C) are received on Router 0 from Router R2 through the next-hop-based dynamic GRE tunnel (Tunnel 2). The source IP address of these packets are 172.17.0.2 (Packet A), 172.18.0.2 (Packet B), and 172.20.0.2 (Packet C).
The source IP address of Packets A and B belong to Host 2 and Host 1, respectively. Packet C is a nonexistent source tunnel. The designated tunnel in this example is Tunnel 2, and the nondesignated tunnel is Tunnel 1. Therefore, the packets are processed as follows:
Packet A—Because the source is coming from a designated tunnel (Tunnel 2), Packet A passes the reverse path forwarding check and is processed for forwarding through Tunnel 2.
Packet B—Because the source is coming from Tunnel 1, which is a nondesinated tunnel, by default, Packet B fails the reverse path forwarding check in the strict mode. If loose mode is enabled, Packet B is allowed for forwarding.
Packet C—Because the source is a nonexistent tunnel source, Packet C fails the reverse path forwarding check, and the packet is not forwarded.

Next-Hop-Based Dynamic Tunnel Localization Overview
Next-hop-based dynamic tunnels include generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnels and MPLS-over-UDP tunnels. These tunnels provide a scaling advantage over the interface-based tunnels. However, unlike the interface-based tunnels, the next-hop-based dynamic tunnels are anchorless in nature, where the forwarding information of the tunnels is distributed to the Packet Forwarding Engines (PFEs) on every line card on the device. This limits the maximum number of tunnels supported on the device to the tunnel capacity of a single line card. With the support for localization, you can configure next-hop-based dynamic tunnel localization to create the forwarding information only on the PFE of a line card that is designated as the anchor PFE. The PFEs on the other line cards on the device have state forwarding information to steer the packets to the anchor PFE. This provides a scaling advantage by increasing the maximum number of tunnels supported on a device.

Benefits of Next-Hop-Based Dynamic Tunnel Localization
Provides a scaling advantage by increasing the maximum number of tunnels supported on a device.
Use Cases for Next-Hop-Based Dynamic Tunnel Localization
The IPsec gateway devices that host a number of MS-MPC are used to terminate IPSec tunnels and are required to support moderate load. This support is affected with the use of next-hop-based dynamic tunnels when the scaling limit of the device is reached. With the localization of next-hop-based dynamic tunnels, the maximum number of the tunnels supported is increased, allowing the device to accommodate more tunnels at the cost of an extra fabric hop.
For Internet or VPN gateway devices, such as a virtual public cloud data center, there is a need for the gateway devices to communicate with a large number of servers. The data center servers are reachable through next-hop-based dynamic tunnels. The anchorless property of the dynamic tunnels limits the overall scaling numbers of the device. The gateway devices host multiple MPCs, with increased traffic demands. With the localization of the next-hop-based dynamic tunnels, the tunnels can be spread across the MPCs, thereby facilitating an increase in the tunnel scaling numbers.
Traffic Handling with Localization of Next-Hop-Based Dynamic Tunnels
With support for localization, the next-hop-based dynamic tunnel state is localized to an anchor Packet Forwarding Engine, and the other Packet Forwarding Engine has the tunnel state for steering traffic to the tunnel anchor.
Figure 4 illustrates the forwarding path of next-hop-based dynamic tunnels without localization.
Figure 5 illustrates the forwarding path of next-hop-based dynamic tunnels with localization.
Configuring Next-Hop-Based Dynamic Tunnels Localization
Localization support can be configured for newly created next-hop-based dynamic tunnels, or for existing non-local dynamic tunnels.

- Configuring Localization for Existing Next-Hop-Based Dynamic Tunnels
Configuring Localization for New Next-Hop-Based Dynamic Tunnels
The localization of next-hop-based dynamic tunnels uses a policy-based approach to specify prefix groups. In other words, route policies are used to apply the localization properties to the next-hop-based dynamic tunnels. Dynamic tunnel attribute profiles are created and configured under routing options for association with the prefix group using the policy.
Creating dynamic tunnel profiles.
The dynamic tunnel profile specifies the tunnel type and the anchor Packet Forwarding Engine information. Multiple dynamic tunnel profiles can be created for localization of the dynamic tunnels. The values for the dynamic tunnel type can be GRE, UDP, or BGP-SIGNAL.
Although BGP-SIGNAL is not a valid tunnel type, on assigning BGP-SIGNAL as the tunnel type, the tunnels created from the BGP-signalled attributes are localized. When using BGP-SIGNAL, the tunnel type is decided based on the type advertised by BGP in its TLV. BGP-SIGNAL tunnels are always next-hop-based tunnels. The GRE tunnels created dynamically by BGP-SIGNAL are always next-hop-based, even if the user has manually configured tunnels created by GRE to use IFLs.
The anchor Packet Forwarding Engine value is the line card of the anchor Packet Forwarding Engine, for example, pfe-x/y/0. This information can be viewed from the
show interfaces terse pfe*
command output.Sample Configuration:
[edit routing-options] dynamic-tunnels { dynamic-tunnel-attributes attribute-1 { dynamic-tunnel-type <GRE | UDP | BGP-SIGNAL>; dynamic-tunnel-anchor-pfe pfe-1/0/0; } }
Associating dynamic tunnel profile to prefix list.
Configuring a policy with
dynamic-tunnel-attributes
as the action associates the dynamic tunnel to the prefix list. The policyfrom
action allows the creation of tunnel with specified attributes for any matching condition, such as a prefix range, community, or source address of BGP routes, and so on.Sample configuration:
[edit policy-options] policy-statement policy-name { term term { from { <route-filter | next-hop | community>>; } then { dynamic-tunnel-attributes <attribute-name>; } } }
Including the tunnel policy under the forwarding table export policy.
After the policy is configured, it is included in the forwarding table export policy for the parsing of the policy.
Using the export-policy, the tunnel attributes get associated with the route. Whenever a route from BGP is queued for resolution, the forwarding table export policy is evaluated, and the tunnel attributes are obtained from the policy module based on the applied filters. The obtained tunnel attributes are then attached to the next hop in form of a tunnel composite next hop. The corresponding anchor forwarding structures, based on the Packet Forwarding Engine name and tunnel type, are created and sent to the forwarding table before a tunnel composite next hop is sent. However, if none of the attributes map to the tunnel composite next hop, then the forwarding structure is created on every Packet Forwarding Engine, similar to the non-localized dynamic tunnels.
Sample configuration:
[edit routing-options] forwarding-table { export dynamic-tunnel; }
Configuring Localization for Existing Next-Hop-Based Dynamic Tunnels
Making on the fly changes to dynamic tunnel attributes can result in an FPC crash due to high memory utilization. Hence, we recommend deactivating the dynamic-tunnels configuration before configuring localization.
To update tunnel attributes for existing next-hop-based dynamic tunnels, the following should be performed:
Deactivate
dynamic-tunnels
configuration under the[edit routing-options]
hierarchy level.Sample configuration:
[edit routing-options] user@host# deactivate dynamic-tunnels user@host# commit
Change tunnel attributes as required.

Troubleshooting Localized Next-Hop-Based Dynamic Tunnels
With localization of next-hop-based dynamic tunnels, the tunnel
composite next hops are associated with anchor Packet Forwarding Engine
IDs. The following traceroute configuration statements at the [edit routing-options]
hierarchy level help in troubleshooting
the localized dynamic tunnels:
dynamic-tunnels traceoptions flag all
—Tracking creation and deletion of tunnel in DTM.resolution traceoptions flag tunnel
—Tracking resolver operations on BGP route.forwarding-table traceoptions flag all
—Tracking tunnels sent to the kernel.traceoptions flag all
—Tracking of route learning process.
The following commands can be used to check if a route is using a localized next-hop-based dynamic tunnel:
show route prefix extensive—To obtain the indirect next hop.
For example:
user@host> show route 1.2.3.4 extensive MPLS-over-UDP-PE1.inet.0: 24 destinations, 26 routes (24 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden) 1.2.3.4/32 (1 entry, 1 announced) TSI: KRT in-kernel 1.2.3.4/32 -> {indirect(1048577)} Page 0 idx 1, (group pe1-ce1 type External) Type 1 val 0xb209a78 (adv_entry) Advertised metrics: Nexthop: Self AS path: [100] I Communities: target:600:1 encapsulation:mpls-in-udp(0xd)
show krt indirect-next-hop index indirect-next-hop detail—To check for anchor Packet Forwarding Engine field in the detailed output of the indirect next hop.
For example:
user@host> show krt indirect-next-hop index 1048577 detail Indirect Nexthop detail: Index: 1048577 Protocol next-hop address: 1.1.1.6 RIB Table: bgp.l3vpn.0 Label: Push 299808 Policy Version: 2 References: 11 Locks: 3 0xb227980 Flags: 0x0 INH Session ID: 0x0 Ref RIB Table: unknown Export policy detail: (Dynamic tunnel hash : 309985522) Tunnel type: UDP, Reference count: 4, nhid: 1016 Destination address: 1.1.1.6, Source address: 1.1.1.2 Anchored-PFE: pfe-1/0/0 VPN Label: Push 299808, TTL action: prop-ttl IGP FRR Interesting proto count : 11 Chain IGP FRR Node Num : 1 IGP Resolver node(hex) : 0xc838b94 IGP Route handle(hex) : 0xb1d7674 IGP rt_entry protocol : Tunnel IGP Actual Route handle(hex) : 0x0 IGP Actual rt_entry protocol : Any
Unsupported Features for Next-Hop-Based Dynamic Tunnels Localization
Junos OS does not support the following functionality with localization for next-hop-based dynamic tunnels:
Chained composite next hops at the
[edit routing-options forwarding-table chained-composite-next-hop ingress l3vpn]
hierarchy level.Anchor Packet Forwarding Engine resiliency.
There is no resiliency support for next-hop-based dynamic tunnels with localization. After localization of the next-hop-based dynamic tunnels, the anchor Packer Forwarding Engine becomes the single entity for processing any given tunnel on the device. Although anchor Packer Forwarding Engine resiliency is not supported, for gateway devices, redundancy at the gateway device ensures that when the Packer Forwarding Engine to which the tunnel composite next hop is delegated goes down, the traffic must be rerouted to the redundant gateway device. The routing protocol process monitors the state of the Packer Forwarding Engine, and withdraws BGP advertisement of all the routes pointing to the tunnel composite next hops anchored on that Packer Forwarding Engine.
Only the anchored Packet Forwarding Engine has the full-fledged tunnel composite next hop and all the other Packet Forwarding Engines have only steering entries to forward traffic to the anchor Packet Forwarding Engine. These steering entries are not withdrawn, when an anchor FPC goes down.
Localization of next-hop-based dynamic tunnels is not supported on logical systems.
IPv6 is not supported with localization of next-hop-based dynamic tunnels.
With localization, the
show dynamic-tunnels database summary
command does not display accurate tunnels summary when the state of the anchor Packet Forwarding Engine line card is not up. As a workaround, use theshow dynamic-tunnels database
andshow dynamic-tunnels database terse
command output.
Overview of Next-Hop-Based Dynamic Tunneling Using IP-Over-IP Encapsulation
Benefits
IP-over-IP tunneling provides the following benefits:
-
Alternative to MPLS over UDP—Can be used as an alternative to MPLS-over-UDP tunneling to provide IP service wherein there is a dedicated device per service.
-
Ability to steer specific traffic—Enables smooth migration when MPLS and IP networks co-exist because routes can be filtered to steer specific traffic over IP tunnels as opposed to MPLS tunnels.
-
Ability to support tunnels at increasing scale—Dynamic tunnel creation using BGP control plane can facilitate tunnel creation at scale.
What is IP-over-IP Dynamic Next Hop-based Tunneling?
An IP network contains edge devices and core devices. To achieve higher scale and reliability among these devices, you need to logically isolate the core network from the external network that the edge devices interact with, by using an overlay encapsulation.
Starting in Junos OS Release 20.3R1, we support an IP-over-IP encapsulation to facilitate IP overlay construction over IP transport network. IP over IP relies on a next hop-based infrastructure to support a higher scale. The feature supports IPv4 encapsulation of IPv6 and IPv4 payload. Among the other overlay encapsulations supported, IP-over-IP encapsulation is the only kind that allows:
-
transit devices to parse the inner payload and use inner packet fields for hash computation
-
customer edge devices to route traffic into and out of the tunnel without any throughput reduction
On MX Series routers, routing protocol daemon (RPD) sends the encapsulation header with tunnel composite nexthop and the Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE) finds the tunnel destination address and forwards the packet. On PTX Series routers and QFX10000 switches, RPD sends fully resolved next hop-based tunnel to the Packet Forwarding Engine. BGP protocol is used to distribute routes and signal dynamic tunnels.
The following illustration depicts how IPv4 or IPv6 traffic are sent from R-1 to R-5 through an IP over IP tunnel established between R-2 and R-4:
IP-over-IP Tunnel Stitching
In Junos OS Release 21.3R1, we introduce IP-over-IP tunnel stitching on MX240, MX480, MX960, PTX1000, PTX10008, PTX10016, and QFX10002. You can use this feature to terminate an IP-over-IP tunnel on a device and initiate another tunnel on the same device. When a device receives the IP-over-IP packet, it de-encapsulates the outer packet header and inner packet lookup occurs. The inner IP packet header then points to another tunnel on the same device, where the same device encapsulates the packet again with another IP-over-IP header.

Overview
Starting in Junos OS Release 20.3R1, we support an IP-over-IP encapsulation to facilitate IP overlay construction over IP transport network. This example shows the establishment of unicast IP-over-IP tunnels between devices with a protocol next hop (PNH) through an IBGP peering between R2 and R4, which are connected over an OSPF core, to exchange routes and signal dynamic tunnels.
Topology
Figure 1 illustrates an IP-over-IP scenario with 5 devices.
In this example, we are exchanging routes from R1 to R5 and vice versa through IP-over-IP dynamic tunnels established between the R2 and R4. Routes from R1 are exported to R2 and routes from R5 are exported to R4, by using the protocol IS-IS. We configure a unicast IPIP tunnel Tunnel-01 from R2 to R4 and another tunnel Tunnel-01 from R4 to R2. Route prefixes that are generated within the network masks from the configured destination-networks of the peer device are used for creating the tunnel and traffic flows in the opposite direction of the routes in the tunnel..

Example: Configure an IPoIP Tunnel in an MPLS Environment with LDP tunnel, Resolved Through inetcolor.0 Using Static Configuration
By default, MPLS has a higher preference than IP. For example, with MPLS and LDP configured among R2, R3, and R4, wherein R2 is reachable with R4 through LDP, routes from R2 will get resolved over LDP, instead of IP-over-IP, because of the higher preference.
If you prefer to have a particular route to resolve over the IP-over-IP instead of LDP, you can do so by creating an inetcolor table, where IP-over-IP has a higher preference and setting BGP to resolve that route over inetcolor table instead of inet3 table. The following example shows you how to do so by using static configuration.
Topology
In this example, we are exchanging routes from R1 to R5 and vice versa through IP-over-IP dynamic tunnels established between the R2 and R4. Routes from R1 are exported to R2 and routes from R5 are exported to R4, by using the protocol IS-IS. We configure a unicast IPIP tunnel Tunnel-01 from R2 to R4 and another tunnel Tunnel-01 from R4 to R2. Route prefixes that are generated within the network masks from the configured destination-networks of the peer device are used for creating the tunnel and traffic flows in the opposite direction of the routes in the tunnel.

Example: Configure an IPoIP Tunnel with LDP tunnel in an MPLS Cloud, Resolved through inetcolor.0 Using BGP Signaling
In an MPLS environment with LDP enabled, BGP routes get resolved through LDP on inet.3 table because MPLS has higher preference than IP.
If you still prefer to have your routes resolved through IP-over-IP in the MPLS environment, you can do so by creating an inetcolor.0 table that assigns higher preference for IP-over-IP and resolve chosen routes through IP-over-IP. To enable this feature by using BGP, the route resolution is performed on the remote end device of the tunnel and with the export policy configured on the remote device, routes are received and advertised through BGP signaling. This example shows how to configure this by using the BGP protocol configuration.
In this example, we are exchanging routes from R1 to R5 and vice versa through IP-over-IP dynamic tunnels established between the R2 and R4. Routes from R1 are exported to R2 and routes from R5 are exported to R4, by using the protocol IS-IS. We configure a unicast IPIP tunnel Tunnel-01 from R2 to R4 and another tunnel Tunnel-01 from R4 to R2. Route prefixes that are generated within the network masks from the configured destination-networks of the peer device are used for creating the tunnel and traffic flows in the opposite direction of the routes in the tunnel.
