How to Configure Microloop Avoidance in OSPFv2 Segment Routing Networks
Microloops can consume the available bandwidth of the links, which impacts the efficient transmission of useful packets. Microloop avoidance can prevent forwarding of looping packets.

Benefits of Avoiding Microloops in OSPFv2 Networks with Segment Routing
-
Micro loop-free path avoids delays and traffic loss.
- Microloop avoidance can prevent forwarding of looping packets and avoid wasteful bandwidth consumption.
- Microloop avoidance path is computed only for the impacted links in case of multiple link failures. If the second link failure does not impact the computed microloop avoidance path, OSPFv2 continues to use the same microloop avoidance path.
Junos OS enables a device to defer OSPFv2 route download when an OSPFv2 link fails in order to avoid micro loops. When local links go down, the OSPFv2 protocol floods an entire area with the database. If the node connected to the local interface that has failed converges faster than the neighboring node, then the connected node redirects traffic to the converged path. This redirection can result in micro looping of traffic until the neighboring node converges. When the primary path of a protected node fails, the connected node does not need to converge quickly if the configured backup path is not impacted. In this case, traffic flow towards a converged path is deferred until the configured delay time. This time delay helps in avoiding microloops because all routers do not arrive at the post-convergence forwarding states simultaneously.
In the Figure 1, the primary path from Source to Destination is SR0R1R2R3D. When the link between R2 and R3 fails, traffic sent from S to D, is subject to transient forwarding loops while routers update their forwarding state for destination D.
• If R0 updates its forwarding state before R5, packets loop between R0 and R5
• If both R0 and R5, have updated their forwarding states, and R4 has not, packets loop between R4 and R5.
• R0 detects the link failure between R2 and R3, and temporarily steers traffic destined to Destination over SR path [NodeSID(R4), AdjSID(R4->R3), D].
• When the configured timeout elapses, R0 just uses the node-SID to D to reach the destination.
Microloop Avoidance in OSPFv2 Networks with Segment Routing
Starting in Junos OS Release 22.1R1, you can enable a post convergence path calculation on
a device to avoid microloops if a link or metric change occurs in an OSPFv2 segment routed
network. To configure microloop avoidance in an OSPFv2 segment routing network for both
local and remote network events including link down, link-up, and metric-change, include the
maximum-labelsdelay milliseconds
statement at the [edit protocols ospf spf-options microloop avoidance
post-convergence-path] hierarchy level. For effective microloop avoidance,
configure this feature on all the nodes in the network.
Micro-loop avoidance is not a replacement for local repair mechanisms like TI-LFA which detects local failure very fast and activates a pre-computed loop-free-alternative path.
Routers that implement micro-loop avoidance compute the micro-loop avoiding path only after receiving the link state update for the event. So, micro-loop avoidance mechanism is not a replacement for local repair mechanisms like TI-LFA which detects local failure very fast and activates a pre-computed loop-free-alternative path at PFE level. In the above example, if local repair mechanism is not present for the R2R3 failure, there will be a lot of traffic loss before R0 can detect the failure (through global convergence) and program a micro-loop avoiding path. Micro-loop avoidance cannot avoid traffic loss due to delayed detection of the failure. Microloop avoidance avoids traffic loss due to micro-loops only. Both local-repair mechanisms like TI-LFA and micro-loop avoidance, have to be enabled on all the nodes in the network to ensure that traffic loss is in milli-seconds range.
To avoid micro-loops, the following process is used:
1. After computing the new path to D, for a predetermined time, R installs an entry for D that steers packets to D through a loop-free segment routed path. This time should be greater than worst case delay of any router in the network.
2. After the configured time delay, R installs the post-convergence route entry for D, which is without any SIDs.
Supported and Unsupported Features
Junos OS supports microloop avoidance in the following scenarios:
-
Microloop avoidance is supported on all the Junos OS platforms that support OSPF routing protocol.
-
Microloop avoidance is supported for IPv4 networks only.
-
Microloop avoidance is supported for flexible algorithm topologies.
Junos OS does not support the following features in conjunction with microloop avoidance:
- Microloop avoidance path that needs more than 8 labels is not supported. The maximum number of labels installed for microloop avoidance path is 8. For the microloop avoidance ECMP path to be usable, the number of labels must be less than or equal to maximum labels.
- Cannot prevent traffic loss because of slow control plane convergence.
- OSPFv2 multi-topology is not supported with microloop avoidance.
- Adjacency SIDs are not supported with microloop avoidance.
- If shortcuts are available OSPFv2 does not provide a microloop avoidance path.
Configuring Segment Routing Microloop Avoidance in OSPFv2 Networks
Overview
Microloops are packet forwarding loops that occur in the network following network change events such as link down, link up, or metric change. When a network change event occurs, different routers update their forwarding states at different times. This can lead to packets getting looped between upstream and downstream routers for a transient period, resulting in packet loss, jitter, and out-of-order packets. Microloops can consume the available bandwidth of the links, which impacts the efficient transmission of useful packets.
Microloop avoidance can prevent forwarding of looping packets. The segment routing microloop avoidance detects if microloops are possible following a topology change. When a network change event is detected, the routes are programmed to take the post-convergence path, that uses a combination of node and adjacency SIDs. This ensures the routers that might not yet have converged do not loop the packets causing microloops. This behavior lasts for a configurable delay. Once the delay timer expires, routes are programmed normally by using node-SID of the destinations.
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
-
Eight MX Series routers.
-
Junos OS Release 22.1R1 or later.
Topology
In Figure 2 device R0 and device R7 are the ingress and egress routers that support devices CE1 and CE2. The devices R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 comprise an IPv4 only provider core network. All the devices belong to the same autonomous system. OSPFv2 is the interior gateway protocol in the core configured to support microloop avoidance. In this example the device R2 is configured as an IPv4 route reflector with IBGP peering sessions to both R0 and R7. No other routers speak BGP in this example. The Device R6 has the firewall filter configured to detect packets with microloops if any following a link down event.

Configuring Device R0
Step-by-Step Procedure
To configure segment routing microloop avoidance path in an OSPFv2 network, perform the following steps on the R0 device:
-
Configure the device interfaces to enable IP and MPLS transport.
[edit] user@R0#set interfaces xe-0/0/0:0 description To_R1 user@R0#set interfaces xe-0/0/0:0 unit 0 family inet address 10.10.1.1/30 uesr@R0#set interfaces xe-0/0/0:0 unit 0 family mpls user@R0#set interfaces xe-0/0/0:3 description To_R4 user@R0#set interfaces xe-0/0/0:3 unit 0 family inet address 10.10.4.1/30 uesr@R0#set interfaces xe-0/0/0:3 unit 0 family mpls user@R0#set interfaces xe-0/0/1:2 description to_CE1 user@R0#set interfaces xe-0/0/1:2 unit 1 family inet address 172.16.10.2/30 user@R0#set interfaces xe-0/0/1:2 unit 1 family mpls
-
Configure the loopback interface (lo0) addresses that is used as router ID for OSPF sessions.
[edit] user@R0#set interfaces lo0 unit 0 family inet address 192.168.255.10/32 user@R0#set interfaces lo0 unit 0 family inet address 192.168.255.18/32
-
Configure the router ID and autonomous system (AS) number to propagate routing information within a set of routing devices that belong to the same AS.
[edit] user@R0#set routing-options router-id 192.168.255.10 user@R0#set routing-options autonomous-system 65000
-
Define a policy to load balance packets and apply the per-packet policy to enable load balancing of traffic.
[edit] user@R0#set policy-options policy-statement pplb then load-balance per-packet user@R0#set routing-options forwarding-table export pplb
-
Configure R0 to advertise the loopback address. The
prefix-segment indexoption sets the base label for each router's loopback. In this example the base index is set to reflect| the router number. As a result, R0 uses 1000.[edit] user@R0#set policy-options policy-statement prefix-sid term 1 from route-filter 192.168.255.10/32 exact user@R0#set policy-options policy-statement prefix-sid term 1 then prefix-segment index 1000 user@R0#set policy-options policy-statement prefix-sid term 1 then prefix-segment node-segment user@R0#set policy-options policy-statement prefix-sid term 1 then accept
-
Configure MPLS on all interfaces excluding the management interface. Also enable traffic engineering.
[edit] user@R0#set protocols mpls interface all user@R0#set protocols mpls interface fxp0.0 disable user@R0#set protocols mpls traffic-engineering
-
Configure the MPLS label range to assign static labels for the links.
[edit] user@R0#set protocols mpls label-range static-label-range 60001 100000
-
Configure BGP peering between R0 and the route reflector R2. Configure the unicast network layer reachability information (NRLI) to allocate a unique label for each prefix on the devices.
[edit] user@R0#set protocols bgp group to-RR type internal user@R0#set protocols bgp group to-RR local-address 192.168.255.10 user@R0#set protocols bgp group to-RR neighbor 192.168.255.12 family inet unicast user@R0#set protocols bgp group to-RR neighbor 192.168.255.12 family inet-vpn unicast per-prefix-label
-
Configure TI-LFA to enable protection against link and node failures. SR using TI-LFA provides faster restoration of network connectivity by routing the traffic instantly to a backup or an alternate path if the primary path fails or becomes unavailable.
[edit] user@host#set protocols ospf backup-spf-options use-source-packet-routing
-
Configure backup shortest path first (SPF) attributes such as maximum equal-cost multipath (ECMP) as 8 and maximum number of labels as 5 for TI-LFA for the OSPFv2 protocol.
[edit] user@host#set protocols ospf backup-spf-options use-post-convergence-lfa maximum-labels 5 user@host#set protocols ospf backup-spf-options use-post-convergence-lfa maximum-backup-paths 8
-
Configure prefix segment attributes, the start label and the index range for segment routing global blocks (SRGBs) in SPRING for the OSPFv2 protocol.
[edit] user@host#set protocols ospf source-packet-routing prefix-segment prefix-sid user@host#set protocols ospf source-packet-routing node-segment ipv4-index 0 user@host#set protocols ospf source-packet-routing srgb start-label 800000 user@host#set protocols ospf source-packet-routing srgb index-range 80000
-
Configure the loopback interface as passive to ensure the protocols do not run over the loopback interface and that the loopback interface is advertised correctly throughout the network.
[edit] user@host#set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface lo0.0 passive
-
Configure OSPF area 0 on the point-to-point interface of the device R0.
[edit] user@host#set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface xe-0/0/0:0.0 interface-type p2p user@host#set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface xe-0/0/0:0.0 metric 10 user@host#set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface xe-0/0/0:3.0 interface-type p2p user@host#set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface xe-0/0/0:3.0 metric 10
-
Configure the computation and installation of a backup path that follows the post-convergence path on the given area and interface for the OSPFv2 protocol. Also enable node-link protection on the these interfaces that follow post-convergence path.
[edit] user@host#set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface xe-0/0/0:0.0 post-convergence-lfa node-protection user@host#set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface xe-0/0/0:3.0 post-convergence-lfa node-protection
-
Configure microloop avoidance that temporarily installs a post-convergence path for routes potentially affected by microloops and specify a delay time period of 60000 milliseconds for the OSPFv2 protocol. The temporary path reverts to the node SIDs of the destination after the delay timer expires.
