+Abstract
+
+ This document specifies encoding of extensions to the IS-IS routing
+ protocol in support of Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching
+ (GMPLS).
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ This document specifies extensions to the IS-IS routing protocol in
+ support of carrying link state information for Generalized Multi-
+ Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS). The set of required enhancements
+ to IS-IS are outlined in [GMPLS-ROUTING]. Support for unnumbered
+ interfaces assumes support for the "Point-to-Point Three-Way
+ Adjacency" IS-IS Option type [ISIS-3way].
+
+ In this section we define the enhancements to the Traffic Engineering
+ (TE) properties of GMPLS TE links that can be announced in IS-IS Link
+ State Protocol Data Units.
+
+ In this document, we enhance the sub-TLVs for the extended IS
+ reachability TLV (see [ISIS-TE]) in support of GMPLS. Specifically,
+ we add the following sub-TLVs:
+
+ Sub-TLV Type Length Name
+ 4 8 Link Local/Remote Identifiers
+ 20 2 Link Protection Type
+ 21 variable Interface Switching Capability
+ Descriptor
+
+
+
+
+Kompella & Rekhter Informational [Page 1]
+
+RFC 4205 IS-IS Extensions for MPLS October 2005
+
+
+ We further add one new TLV to the TE TLVs:
+
+ TLV Type Length Name
+ 138 variable Shared Risk Link Group
+
+ The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
+ "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
+ document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
+
+1.1. Link Local/Remote Identifiers
+
+ A Link Local Interface Identifiers is a sub-TLV of the extended IS
+ reachability TLV. The type of this sub-TLV is 4, and length is eight
+ octets. The value field of this sub-TLV contains four octets of Link
+ Local Identifier followed by four octets of Link Remote Identifier
+ (see Section "Support for unnumbered links" of [GMPLS-ROUTING]). If
+ the Link Remote Identifier is unknown, it is set to 0.
+
+ The following illustrates encoding of the Value field of the Link
+ Local/Remote Identifiers sub-TLV.
+
+ 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

+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | Link Remote Identifier |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ The Link Local/Remote Identifiers sub-TLV MUST NOT occur more than
+ once within the extended IS reachability TLV. If the Link
+ Local/Remote Identifiers sub-TLV occurs more than once within the
+ extended IS reachability TLV, the receiver SHOULD ignore all these
+ sub-TLVs.
+
+1.2. Link Protection Type
+
+ The Link Protection Type is a sub-TLV (of type 20) of the extended IS
+ reachability TLV, with length two octets.
+
+ The following illustrates encoding of the Value field of the Link
+ Protection Type sub-TLV.
+

+
+RFC 4205 IS-IS Extensions for MPLS October 2005
+
+
+ The first octet is a bit vector describing the protection
+ capabilities of the link (see Section "Link Protection Type" of
+ [GMPLS-ROUTING]). They are:
+
+ 0x01 Extra Traffic
+
+ 0x02 Unprotected
+
+ 0x04 Shared
+
+ 0x08 Dedicated 1:1
+
+ 0x10 Dedicated 1+1
+
+ 0x20 Enhanced
+
+ 0x40 Reserved
+
+ 0x80 Reserved
+
+ The second octet SHOULD be set to zero by the sender, and SHOULD be
+ ignored by the receiver.
+
+ The Link Protection Type sub-TLV MUST NOT occur more than once within
+ the extended IS reachability TLV. If the Link Protection Type sub-
+ TLV occurs more than once within the extended IS reachability TLV,
+ the receiver SHOULD ignore all these sub-TLVs.
+
+1.3. Interface Switching Capability Descriptor
+
+ The Interface Switching Capability Descriptor is a sub-TLV (of type
+ 21) of the extended IS reachability TLV. The length is the length of
+ value field in octets. The following illustrates encoding of the
+ Value field of the Interface Switching Capability Descriptor sub-TLV.

+
+ The Switching Capability (Switching Cap) field contains one of the
+ following values:
+
+ 1 Packet-Switch Capable-1 (PSC-1)
+ 2 Packet-Switch Capable-2 (PSC-2)
+ 3 Packet-Switch Capable-3 (PSC-3)

+ 100 Time-Division-Multiplex Capable (TDM)
+ 150 Lambda-Switch Capable (LSC)
+ 200 Fiber-Switch Capable (FSC)
+
+
+ The Encoding field contains one of the values specified in Section
+ 3.1.1 of [GMPLS-SIG].
+
+ Maximum LSP Bandwidth is encoded as a list of eight 4 octet fields in
+ the IEEE floating point format [IEEE], with priority 0 first and
+ priority 7 last. The units are bytes (not bits!) per second.
+
+ The content of the Switching Capability specific information field
+ depends on the value of the Switching Capability field.

+
+ The Minimum LSP Bandwidth is encoded in a 4 octets field in the IEEE

+ The Interface MTU is encoded as a 2 octets integer, and carries the
+ MTU value in the units of bytes.
+
+ When the Switching Capability field is L2SC, there is no Switching
+ Capability specific information field present.
+
+ When the Switching Capability field is TDM, the Switching Capability
+ specific information field includes Minimum LSP Bandwidth and an
+ indication whether the interface supports Standard or Arbitrary
+ SONET/SDH.

+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | Indication |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ The Minimum LSP Bandwidth is encoded in a 4 octets field in the IEEE
+ floating point format. The units are bytes (not bits!) per second.
+ The indication whether the interface supports Standard or Arbitrary
+ SONET/SDH is encoded as 1 octet. The value of this octet is 0 if the
+ interface supports Standard SONET/SDH, and 1 if the interface
+ supports Arbitrary SONET/SDH.
+
+ When the Switching Capability field is LSC, there is no Switching
+ Capability specific information field present.
+
+ To support interfaces that have more than one Interface Switching
+ Capability Descriptor (see Section "Interface Switching Capability
+ Descriptor" of [GMPLS-ROUTING]) the Interface Switching Capability
+ Descriptor sub-TLV MAY occur more than once within the extended IS
+ reachability TLV.

+ 1 octet of Pseudonode Number
+ 1 octet Flag
+ 4 octets of IPv4 interface address or 4 octets of a Link Local
+ Identifier
+ 4 octets of IPv4 neighbor address or 4 octets of a Link Remote
+ Identifier
+ (variable) list of SRLG values, where each element in the list
+ has 4 octets.
+
+ The following illustrates encoding of the Value field of the SRLG
+ TLV.

+
+ The neighbor is identified by its System Id (6-octets), plus one
+ octet to indicate the pseudonode number if the neighbor is on a LAN
+ interface.
+
+ The Least Significant Bit of the Flag octet indicates whether the
+ interface is numbered (set to 1), or unnumbered (set to 0). All
+ other bits are reserved and should be set to 0.
+
+ The length of this TLV is 16 + 4 * (number of SRLG values).
+
+ This TLV carries the Shared Risk Link Group information (see Section
+ "Shared Risk Link Group Information" of [GMPLS-ROUTING]).

+
+RFC 4205 IS-IS Extensions for MPLS October 2005
+
+
+ The SRLG TLV MAY occur more than once within the IS-IS Link State
+ Protocol Data Units.
+
+1.5. Link Identifier for Unnumbered Interfaces
+
+ Link Identifiers are exchanged in the Extended Local Circuit ID field
+ of the "Point-to-Point Three-Way Adjacency" IS-IS Option type
+ [ISIS-3way].
+
+2. Implications on Graceful Restart
+
+ The restarting node SHOULD follow the ISIS restart procedures
+ [ISIS-RESTART], and the RSVP-TE restart procedures [GMPLS-RSVP].
+
+ When the restarting node is going to originate its IS-IS Link State
+ Protocol data units for TE links, these Link State Protocol data
+ units SHOULD be originated with 0 unreserved bandwidth, Traffic
+ Engineering Default metric set to 0xffffff, and if the link has LSC
+ or FSC as its Switching Capability then also with 0 as Max LSP
+ Bandwidth, until the node is able to determine the amount of
+ unreserved resources taking into account the resources reserved by
+ the already established LSPs that have been preserved across the
+ restart. Once the restarting node determines the amount of
+ unreserved resources, taking into account the resources reserved by
+ the already established LSPs that have been preserved across the
+ restart, the node SHOULD advertise these resources in its Link State
+ Protocol data units.
+
+ In addition, in the case of a planned restart prior to restarting,
+ the restarting node SHOULD originate the IS-IS Link State Protocol
+ data units for TE links with 0 as unreserved bandwidth, and if the
+ link has LSC or FSC as its Switching Capability then also with 0 as
+ Max LSP Bandwidth. This would discourage new LSP establishment
+ through the restarting router.
+
+ Neighbors of the restarting node SHOULD continue to advertise the
+ actual unreserved bandwidth on the TE links from the neighbors to
+ that node.

+
+5. Security Considerations
+
+ This document specifies the contents of GMPLS TE TLVs in ISIS. As
+ these TLVs are not used for SPF computation or normal routing, the
+ extensions specified here have no direct effect on IP routing.
+ Tampering with GMPLS TE TLVs may have an effect on the underlying
+ transport (optical and/or SONET-SDH) network. Mechanisms to secure
+ ISIS Link State PDUs and/or the TE TLVs [ISIS-HMAC] can be used to
+ secure the GMPLS TE TLVs as well.
+
+6. IANA Considerations
+
+ This document defines the following new ISIS TLV type that needs to
+ be reflected in the ISIS TLV code-point registry:
+
+ Type Description IIH LSP SNP
+ ---- ---------------------- --- --- ---
+ 138 Shared Risk Link Group n y n
+
+ This document also defines the following new sub-TLV types of top-
+ level TLV 22 that need to be reflected in the ISIS sub-TLV registry
+ for TLV 22:
+
+ Type Description Length
+ ---- ------------------------------ --------
+ 4 Link Local/Remote Identifiers 8
+ 20 Link Protection Type 2
+ 21 Interface Switching Capability variable
