Proxy for Congestion Notification
draft-xiao-rtgwg-proxy-congestion-notification-01
Abstract
This document describes the necessity and feasibility to introduce a
proxy network node between the congested network node and the traffic
sender. The proxy network node is used to translate the congestion
notification. The congested network node sends the congestion
notification to the proxy network node in a format defined in this
document, and then the proxy network node translates the received
congestion notification to a format known by the traffic sender and
resends the translated congestion notification to the traffic sender.

1. Introduction
[I-D.xiao-rtgwg-rocev2-fast-cnp] describes a congestion notification
message called Fast Congestion Notification Packet (Fast CNP), which
can be sent by a congested network node to the traffic sender
directly. Fast CNP extends the CNP [IBTA-SPEC] consumed by the
traffic sender supporting Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) over
Converged Ethernet version 2 (RoCEv2).
Min Expires 22 March 2026 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft Proxy for Congestion Notification September 2025
RoCEv2 has already been widely deployed, and it runs the InfiniBand
transport layer over UDP and IP protocols on an Ethernet network,
bringing many of the advantages of InfiniBand to Ethernet networks.
For a traffic sender supporting RoCEv2, congestion control is
important, and the RoCEv2 CNP or RoCEv2 Fast CNP must be used to
alert the sender slowing down the transmission rate. For a traffic
sender not supporting RoCEv2, congestion control is still important,
and the corresponding congestion notification message supported by
the sender must be used to alert the sender slowing down the
transmission rate.
Considering there are multiple different congestion notification
messages existing for the traffic sender, if a congested network node
would send a congestion notification message to the traffic sender
directly, there is a prerequisite for the congested network node to
know what kind of congestion notification message is supported by
each specific traffic sender; Secondly, when the congested network
node is a VPN Provider (P) router, it's difficult for the congested
network node to send a congestion notification message to the traffic
sender directly, because there are different routing domains for the
VPN P router and VPN Customer Edge (CE) router; Thirdly, when the
traffic sender supports RoCEv2, it's difficult for the congested
network node to construct a standard RoCEv2 CNP (please refer to
Section 3 of [I-D.xiao-rtgwg-rocev2-fast-cnp]).
A proxy network node between the congested network node and the
traffic sender can help to resolve the problems described above,
being independent of the extension proposed in
[I-D.xiao-rtgwg-rocev2-fast-cnp]. The congested network node sends a
congestion notification message to a proxy network node first, and
then the proxy network node notifies the traffic sender about the
congestion using a congestion notification message known by the
traffic sender (e.g., the standard RoCEv2 CNP). For the selection of
the proxy network node, there are at least three rules. First one,
the selected proxy network node must know what kind of congestion
notification message is supported by the traffic sender; Second one,
the selected proxy network node and the congested network node must
be within the same routing domain; Third one, for RoCEv2 network, the
selected proxy network node must be able to learn the mapping table
between Source Queue Pair and Destination Queue Pair through data
traffic, which means the selected proxy network node must be located
where both the forward direction traffic and the backward direction
traffic need to traverse. How to select a proxy network node for a
specific traffic sender is deployment specific and beyond the scope
of this document.

3. Congestion Notification Mechanisms
In the field of congestion control, there are at least three kinds of
referenced congestion notification mechanisms. This document
introduces the fourth congestion notification mechanism called "Fast
Congestion Notification with Proxy".
Min Expires 22 March 2026 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Proxy for Congestion Notification September 2025
The first congestion notification mechanism is referred to as
classical congestion notification without dedicated packet, as shown
in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Classical Congestion Notification without Dedicated Packet
With this congestion notification mechanism, the traffic sender
indicates that it supports the congestion notification from the
traffic receiver by a specific Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN)
marking within the IP header of the data packet, and the congested
network node (Netwok Node 3 in Figure 1) notifies the traffic
receiver about the congestion by a specific ECN marking. After
receiving a data packet with the specific ECN marking, the traffic
receiver would notify congestion to the traffic sender by a specific
TCP marking within the TCP header of the data packet. [RFC3168]
details how this kind of congestion notification mechanism works.
The second congestion notification mechanism is referred to as
classical congestion notification with dedicated packet, as shown in
Figure 2.

With this congestion notification mechanism, the traffic sender
indicates that it supports the congestion notification from the
traffic receiver by a specific ECN marking within the IP header of
the data packet, and the congested network node (Netwok Node 3 in
Figure 2) notifies the traffic receiver about the congestion by a
specific ECN marking. After receiving a data packet with the
specific ECN marking, the traffic receiver would notify congestion to
the traffic sender by a dedicated congestion notification packet.
[IBTA-SPEC] details an example on how this kind of congestion
notification mechanism works.
The third congestion notification mechanism is referred to as fast
congestion notification without proxy, as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 4: Fast Congestion Notification with Proxy
With this congestion notification mechanism, the congested network
node (Netwok Node 3 in Figure 4) notifies the proxy network node
about the congestion by a dedicated congestion notification packet,
and then the proxy network node notifies the traffic sender about the
congestion by a congestion notification message supported by the
traffic sender. This document details how this kind of congestion
notification mechanism works, except that the specific congestion
notification message between the proxy network node and the traffic
sender is beyond the scope of this document.
4. Congestion Notification to the Proxy Node
The congestion notification message sent from the congested network
node to the proxy network node can be a UDP message or an ICMP
message, if a UDP message it's formatted as follows:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

~ IP Five-Tuple + Congestion Level ~
| |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| As much of the invoking packet as possible |
+ without the UDP packet exceeding 576 bytes +
| in IPv4 or the minimum MTU in IPv6 |
Min Expires 22 March 2026 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Proxy for Congestion Notification September 2025
Figure 5: Congestion Notification Message Format
UDP Header: The UDP header as specified in [RFC768] includes the UDP
source port, UDP destination port, UDP length, and UDP checksum. A
well-known UDP destination port needs to be allocated for this
Congestion Notification Message.
IP Five-Tuple: The IP five-tuple as described in [RFC6438] includes
the source IP address, destination IP address, protocol number,
source port number, and destination port number. The IP five-tuple
is copied from the data packet causing congestion, and it's used to
identify a flow for which the transmission rate needs to be reduced
by the traffic sender. When the congested network node is a VPN P
router, the IP five-tuple is carried below the VPN encapsulation.
Congestion Level: This 3-bit field indicates the congestion level.
Value 0 of this field represents the lowest congestion level and
value 7 of this field represents the highest congestion level.
5. Advertising Proxy Node Capability Using IGP/BGP
Before the congested network node can send the congestion
notification message to the proxy network node, the congested network
node has to know about the IP address of the proxy network node. The
proxy network node can notify the congested network node of its IP
address by advertising its proxy capability in advance.
Even though the Proxy Node Capability (PNC) is a property of the
node, in some cases it is advantageous to associate and advertise the
PNC with a prefix. When PNC is advertised with a prefix, that means
the congested network node should send the congestion notification
packet to the proxy network node but not the traffic sender
associated with that prefix.
5.1. Advertising Proxy Node Capability Using IS-IS
Analogous to the Entropy Label Capability (ELC) Flag (E-flag) defined
in Section 3 of [RFC9088], a new bit PNC Flag (P-flag) is defined,
which is Bit 7 in the Prefix Attribute Flags [RFC7794], as shown in
Figure 6.

as a congestion notification proxy node for the prefix.
The PNC signaling MUST be preserved when a router propagates a prefix
between ISIS levels [RFC5302].
5.2. Advertising Proxy Node Capability Using OSPFv2
Analogous to the ELC Flag (E-flag) defined in Section 3.1 of
[RFC9089], a new bit PNC Flag (P-flag) is defined, which is Bit 2 in
OSPFv2 Prefix Attribute Flags field [RFC9792], as shown in Figure 7.

The PNC signaling MUST be preserved when an OSPFv2 Area Border Router
(ABR) distributes information between areas. To do so, an ABR MUST
originate an OSPFv2 Extended Prefix Opaque LSA [RFC7684] including
the received PNC setting.
5.3. Advertising Proxy Node Capability Using OSPFv3
Analogous to the ELC Flag (E-flag) defined in Section 3.2 of
[RFC9089], a new bit PNC Flag (P-flag) is defined, which is Bit 2 in
OSPFv3 Prefix Attribute Flags field [RFC9792], as shown in Figure 8.

P-Flag: PNC Flag (Bit 2)
Set for the local host prefix of the originating node if it's used
as a congestion notification proxy node for the prefix.
The PNC signaling MUST be preserved when an OSPFv3 Area Border Router
(ABR) distributes information between areas. The setting of the PNC
Flag in the Inter-Area-Prefix-LSA [RFC5340] or in the Inter-Area-
Prefix TLV [RFC8362], generated by an ABR, MUST be the same as the
value the PNC Flag associated with the prefix in the source area.
5.4. Advertising Proxy Node Capability Using BGP
Analogous to the Entropy Label Characteristic (ELCv3) TLV defined in
Section 3.1 of [I-D.ietf-idr-entropy-label], a new PNC characteristic
TLV is defined, which uses code value TBD2 in "BGP Next Hop Dependent
Characteristic Codes" registry requested by
[I-D.ietf-idr-entropy-label], as shown in Figure 9.
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

PNC TLV: code TBD2, length 0, and carries no value
Carried for the local host prefix of the originating node if it's
used as a congestion notification proxy node for the prefix.
6. Security Considerations
The congestion notification from congested network node to the proxy
network node MUST be applied in a specific controlled domain. A
limited administrative domain provides the network administrator with
the means to select, monitor, and control the access to the network,
making it a trusted domain.
To avoid potential Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, it is RECOMMENDED
that implementations apply rate-limiting policies when generating and
receiving congestion notification messages.
Min Expires 22 March 2026 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft Proxy for Congestion Notification September 2025
A deployment MUST ensure that border-filtering drops inbound
congestion notification message from outside of the domain and that
drops outbound congestion notification message leaving the domain.
A deployment MUST support the configuration option to enable or
disable the congestion notification proxy feature defined in this
document. By default, the congestion notification proxy feature MUST
be disabled.
7. IANA Considerations
This document requests the following allocations from IANA:
- A well-known UDP port number TBD1 in the "Service Name and
Transport Protocol Port Number" registry is requested to be
assigned to the Congestion Notification Message.
- Bit 7 in the "IS-IS Bit Values for Prefix Attribute Flags Sub-
TLV" registry is requested to be assigned to the PNC Flag
(P-Flag).
- Bit 2 in the "OSPFv2 Prefix Attribute Flags" registry is
requested to be assigned to the PNC Flag (P-Flag).
- Bit 2 in the "OSPFv3 Prefix Attribute Flags" registry is
requested to be assigned to the PNC Flag (P-Flag).
- Code value TBD2 in the "BGP Next Hop Dependent Characteristic
Codes" registry is requested to be assigned to the PNC
characteristic TLV.
