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 1 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.
Configuration
CLI Quick Configuration
To quickly configure this example, copy the following commands, paste them into a text file, remove any line breaks, change any details necessary to match your network configuration, and then copy and paste the commands into the CLI at the [edit] hierarchy level.

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.
