+1. Introduction
+
+ A number of enhancements to LDP as specified in [RFC5036] have been
+ proposed. These include LDP Graceful Restart [RFC3478], Fault
+ Tolerant LDP [RFC3479], multicast extensions [MLDP], signaling for
+ Layer 2 circuits [RFC4447], a method for learning labels advertised
+ by next-next-hop routers in support of fast reroute node protection
+ [NNHOP], upstream label allocation [UPSTREAM_LDP], and extensions for
+ signaling inter-area Label Switched Paths (LSPs) [RFC5283]. Some
+ have been implemented, and some are advancing toward standardization.
+ It is also likely that additional enhancements will be implemented
+ and deployed in the future.
+
+ This document proposes and defines a mechanism for advertising LDP
+ enhancements at session initialization time. It also defines a
+ mechanism to enable and disable these enhancements after LDP session
+ establishment.
+
+
+
+
+
+Thomas, et al. Standards Track [Page 2]
+
+RFC 5561 LDP Capabilities July 2009
+
+
+ LDP capability advertisement provides means for an LDP speaker to
+ announce what it can receive and process. It also provides means for
+ a speaker to inform peers of deviations from behavior specified by
+ [RFC5036]. An example of such a deviation is LDP Graceful Restart,
+ where a speaker retains MPLS forwarding state for LDP-signaled LSPs
+ when its LDP control plane goes down. It is important to point out
+ that not all LDP enhancements require capability advertisement. For
+ example, upstream label allocation requires capability advertisement,
+ but inbound label filtering, where a speaker installs forwarding
+ state for only certain Forwarding Equivalence Classes (FECs), does
+ not.
+
+1.1. Conventions Used in This Document
+
+ 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 [RFC2119].
+
+ This document uses the terms "LDP speaker" and "speaker"
+ interchangeably.
+
+2. The LDP Capability Mechanism
+
+ Enhancements are likely to be announced during LDP session
+ establishment as each LDP speaker advertises capabilities
+ corresponding to the enhancements it desires.
+
+ Beyond that, capability advertisements may be used to dynamically
+ modify the characteristics of the session to suit the changing
+ conditions. For example, an LSR capable of a particular enhancement
+ in support of some "feature" may not have advertised the
+ corresponding capability to its peers at session establishment time
+ because the feature was disabled at that time. Later, an operator
+ may enable the feature, at which time the LSR would react by
+ advertising the corresponding capability to its peers. Similarly,
+ when an operator disables a feature associated with a capability, the
+ LSR reacts by withdrawing the capability advertisement from its
+ peers.
+
+ The LDP capability advertisement mechanism operates as follows:
+
+ - Each LDP speaker is assumed to implement a set of enhancements,
+ each of which has an associated capability. At any time, a speaker
+ may have none, one, or more of those enhancements "enabled". When
+ an enhancement is enabled, the speaker advertises the associated
+ capability to its peers. By advertising the capability to a peer,
+ the speaker asserts that it shall perform the protocol actions
+ specified for the associated enhancement. For example, the actions
+
+
+
+Thomas, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
+
+RFC 5561 LDP Capabilities July 2009
+
+
+ may require the LDP speaker to receive and process enhancement-
+ specific messages from its peer. Unless the capability has been
+ advertised, the speaker will not perform protocol actions specified
+ for the corresponding enhancement.
+
+ - At session establishment time, an LDP speaker MAY advertise a
+ particular capability by including an optional parameter associated
+ with the capability in its Initialization message.
+
+ - There is a well-known capability called Dynamic Capability
+ Announcement that an LDP speaker MAY advertise in its
+ Initialization message to indicate that it is capable of processing
+ capability announcements following a session establishment.
+
+ If a peer had advertised the Dynamic Capability Announcement
+ capability in its Initialization message, then at any time
+ following session establishment, an LDP speaker MAY announce
+ changes in its advertised capabilities to that peer. To do this,
+ the LDP speaker sends the peer a Capability message that specifies
+ the capabilities being advertised or withdrawn.
+
+2.1. Capability Document
+
+ When the capability advertisement mechanism is in place, an LDP
+ enhancement requiring LDP capability advertisement will be specified
+ by a document that:
+
+ - Describes the motivation for the enhancement;
+
+ - Specifies the behavior of LDP when the enhancement is enabled.
+ This includes the procedures, parameters, messages, and TLVs
+ required by the enhancement;
+
+ - Includes an IANA considerations section that requests IANA
+ assignment of a code point (from TLV Type namespace) for the
+ optional capability parameter corresponding to the enhancement.
+
+ The capability document MUST also describe the interpretation
+ and processing of associated capability data, if present.
+
+3. Specifying Capabilities in LDP Messages
+
+ This document uses the term "Capability Parameter" to refer to an
+ optional parameter that may be included in Initialization and
+ Capability messages to advertise a capability.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Thomas, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
+
+RFC 5561 LDP Capabilities July 2009
+
+
+ The format of a "Capability Parameter" TLV is 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
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ |U|F| TLV Code Point | Length |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ |S| Reserved | |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Capability Data |
+ | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ where:
+
+ U-bit:
+ Unknown TLV bit, as described in [RFC5036]. The value could be
+ either 0 or 1 as specified in the Capability document associated
+ with the given capability.
+
+ F-bit:
+ Forward unknown TLV bit, as described in [RFC5036]. The value
+ of this bit MUST be 0 since a Capability Parameter TLV is sent
+ only in Initialization and Capability messages, which are not
+ forwarded.
+
+ TLV Code Point:
+ The TLV type that identifies a specific capability. This is an
+ IANA-assigned code point (from TLV Type namespace) for a given
+ capability as requested in the associated capability document.
+
+ S-bit:
+ The State Bit. It indicates whether the sender is advertising
+ or withdrawing the capability corresponding to the TLV code
+ point. The State Bit value is used as follows:
+
+ 1 - The TLV is advertising the capability specified by the TLV
+ code point.
+
+ 0 - The TLV is withdrawing the capability specified by the TLV
+ code point.
+
+ Capability Data:
+ Information, if any, about the capability in addition to the TLV
+ code point required to fully specify the capability.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Thomas, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
+
+RFC 5561 LDP Capabilities July 2009
+
+
+ The method for interpreting and processing this data is specific
+ to the TLV code point and MUST be described in the document
+ specifying the capability.
+
+ An LDP speaker MUST NOT include more than one instance of a
+ Capability Parameter (as identified by the same TLV code point) in an
+ Initialization or Capability message. If an LDP speaker receives
+ more than one instance of the same Capability Parameter type in a
+ message, it SHOULD send a Notification message to the peer before
+ terminating the session with the peer. The Status Code in the Status
+ TLV of the Notification message MUST be Malformed TLV value, and the
+ message SHOULD contain the second Capability Parameter TLV of the
+ same type (code point) that is received in the message.
+
+3.1. Backward Compatibility TLVs
+
+ LDP extensions that require advertisement or negotiation of some
+ capability at session establishment time typically use TLVs that are
+ included in an Initialization message. To ensure backward
+ compatibility with existing implementations, such TLVs continue to be
+ supported in an Initialization message and are known in this document
+ as "Backward Compatibility TLVs". A Backward Compatibility TLV plays
+ the role of a "Capability Parameter" TLV; that is, the presence of a
+ Backward Compatibility TLV has the same meaning as a Capability
+ Parameter TLV with the S-bit set for the same capability.
+
+ One example of a Backward Capability TLV is the "FT Session TLV" that
+ is exchanged in an Initialization message between peers to announce
+ LDP Fault Tolerance [RFC3479] capability.
+
+4. Capability Message
+
+ The LDP Capability message is used by an LDP speaker to announce
+ changes in the state of one or more of its capabilities subsequent to
+ session establishment.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Thomas, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
+
+RFC 5561 LDP Capabilities July 2009
+
+
+ The format of the Capability message is 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
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ |0| Capability (0x0202) | Length |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | Message ID |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | TLV_1 |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | . . . |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | TLV_N |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ where TLV_1 through TLV_N are Capability Parameter TLVs. The S-bit
+ of each of the TLVs specifies the new state for the corresponding
+ capability.
+
+ Note that Backward Compatibility TLVs (see Section 3.1) MUST NOT be
+ included in Capability messages. An LDP speaker that receives a
+ Capability message from a peer that includes Backward Compatibility
+ TLVs SHOULD silently ignore these Backward Compatibility TLVs and
+ continue processing the rest of the message.
+
+5. Note on Terminology
+
+ The following sections in this document talk about enabling and
+ disabling capabilities. The terminology "enabling (or disabling) a
+ capability" is short hand for "advertising (or withdrawing) a
+ capability associated with an enhancement". Bear in mind that it is
+ an LDP enhancement that is being enabled or disabled, and that it is
+ the corresponding capability that is being advertised or withdrawn.
+
+6. Procedures for Capability Parameters in Initialization Messages
+
+ The S-bit of a Capability Parameter in an Initialization message MUST
+ be 1 and SHOULD be ignored on receipt. This ensures that any
+ Capability Parameter in an Initialization message enables the
+ corresponding capability.
+
+ An LDP speaker determines the capabilities of a peer by examining the
+ set of Capability Parameters present in the Initialization message
+ received from the peer.
+
+ An LDP speaker MAY use a particular capability with its peer after
+ the speaker determines that the peer has enabled that capability.
+
+
+
+Thomas, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 5561 LDP Capabilities July 2009
+
+
+ These procedures enable an LDP speaker S1, that advertises a specific
+ LDP capability C, to establish an LDP session with speaker S2 that
+ does not advertise C. In this situation, whether or not capability C
+ may be used for the session depends on the semantics of the
+ enhancement associated with C. If the semantics do not require both
+ S1 and S2, advertise C to one another, then S2 could use it; i.e.,
+ S1's advertisement of C permits S2 to send messages to S1 used by the
+ enhancement.
+
+ It is the responsibility of the capability designer to specify the
+ behavior of an LDP speaker that has enabled a certain enhancement,
+ advertised its capability and determines that its peer has not
+ advertised the corresponding capability. The document specifying
+ procedures for the capability MUST describe the behavior in this
+ situation. If the specified procedure is to terminate the session,
+ then the LDP speaker SHOULD send a Notification message to the peer
+ before terminating the session. The Status Code in the Status TLV of
+ the Notification message MUST be Unsupported Capability, and the
+ message SHOULD contain the unsupported capability (see Section 8 for
+ more details).
+
+ An LDP speaker that supports capability advertisement and includes a
+ Capability Parameter in its Initialization message MUST set the TLV
+ U-bit to 0 or 1, as specified by Capability document. The LDP
+ speaker should set the U-bit to 1 if the capability document allows
+ it to continue with a peer that does not understand the enhancement,
+ and set the U-bit to 0 otherwise. If a speaker receives a message
+ containing unsupported capability, it responds according to the U-bit
+ setting in the TLV. If the U-bit is 1, then the speaker MUST
+ silently ignore the Capability Parameter and allow the session to be
+ established. However, if the U-bit is 0, then speaker SHOULD send a
+ Notification message to the peer before terminating the session. The
+ Status Code in the Status TLV of the Notification message MUST be
+ Unsupported Capability, and the message SHOULD contain the
+ unsupported capability (see Section 8 for more details).
+
+7. Procedures for Capability Parameters in Capability Messages
+
+ An LDP speaker MUST NOT send a Capability message to a peer unless
+ its peer advertised the Dynamic Capability Announcement capability in
+ its session Initialization message. An LDP speaker MAY send a
+ Capability message to a peer if its peer advertised the Dynamic
+ Capability Announcement capability in its session Initialization
+ message (see Section 9).
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Thomas, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
+
+RFC 5561 LDP Capabilities July 2009
+
+
+ An LDP speaker determines the capabilities enabled by a peer by
+ determining the set of capabilities enabled at session initialization
+ (as specified in Section 6) and tracking changes to that set made by
+ Capability messages from the peer.
+
+ An LDP speaker that has enabled a particular capability MAY use the
+ enhancement corresponding to the capability with a peer after the
+ speaker determines that the peer has enabled the capability.
+
+8. Extensions to Error Handling
+
+ This document defines a new LDP status code named Unsupported
+ Capability. The E-bit of the Status TLV carried in a Notification
+ message that includes this status code MUST be set to 0.
+
+ In addition, this document defines a new LDP TLV, named Returned
+ TLVs, that MAY be carried in a Notification message as an Optional
+ Parameter. The U-bit setting for a Returned TLVs TLV in a
+ Notification message SHOULD be 1, and the F-bit setting SHOULD be 0.
+
+ When the Status Code in a Notification message is Unsupported
+ Capability, the message SHOULD specify the capabilities that are
+ unsupported. When the Notification message specifies the unsupported
+ capabilities, it MUST include a Returned TLVs TLV. The Returned TLVs
+ TLV MUST include only the Capability Parameters for unsupported
+ capabilities, and the Capability Parameter for each such capability
+ SHOULD be encoded as received from the peer.
+
+ When the Status Code in a Notification Message is Unknown TLV, the
+ message SHOULD specify the TLV that was unknown. When the
+ Notification message specifies the TLV that was unknown, it MUST
+ include the unknown TLV in a Returned TLVs TLV.
+
+9. Dynamic Capability Announcement TLV
+
+ The Dynamic Capability Announcement TLV is a Capability Parameter
+ defined by this document with following format:
+
+ 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
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ |1|0| DynCap Ann. (0x0506) | Length (1) |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ |1| Reserved |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Thomas, et al. Standards Track [Page 9]
+
+RFC 5561 LDP Capabilities July 2009
+
+
+ The value of the U-bit for the Dynamic Capability Announcement
+ Parameter TLV MUST be set to 1 so that a receiver MUST silently
+ ignore this TLV if unknown to it, and continue processing the rest of
+ the message. There is no "Capability Data" associated with this TLV
+ and hence the TLV length MUST be set to 1.
+
+ The Dynamic Capability Announcement Parameter MAY be included by an
+ LDP speaker in an Initialization message to signal its peer that the
+ speaker is capable of processing Capability messages.
+
+ An LDP speaker MUST NOT include the Dynamic Capability Announcement
+ Parameter in Capability messages sent to its peers. Once enabled
+ during session initialization, the Dynamic Capability Announcement
+ capability cannot be disabled. This implies that the S-bit is always
+ 1 for the Dynamic Capability Announcement.
+
+ An LDP speaker that receives a Capability message from a peer that
+ includes the Dynamic Capability Announcement Parameter SHOULD
+ silently ignore the parameter and process any other Capability
+ Parameters in the message.
+
+10. Backward Compatibility
+
+ From the point of view of the LDP capability advertisement mechanism,
+ an [RFC5036]-compliant peer has label distribution for IPv4 enabled
+ by default. To ensure compatibility with an [RFC5036]-compliant
+ peer, LDP implementations that support capability advertisement have
+ label distribution for IPv4 enabled until it is explicitly disabled
+ and MUST assume that their peers do as well.
+
+ Section 3.1 introduces the concept of Backward Compatibility TLVs
+ that may appear in an Initialization message in the role of a
+ Capability Parameter. This permits existing LDP enhancements that
+ use an ad hoc mechanism for enabling capabilities at session
+ initialization time to continue to do so.
+
+11. Security Considerations
+
+ [MPLS_SEC] describes the security framework for MPLS networks,
+ whereas [RFC5036] describes the security considerations that apply to
+ the base LDP specification. The same security framework and
+ considerations apply to the capability mechanism described in this
+ document.

+
+ This document specifies the following code points assigned by IANA:
+
+ - LDP message code point for the Capability message (0x0202).
+
+ - LDP TLV code point for the Dynamic Capability Announcement TLV
+ (0x0506).
+
+ - LDP TLV code point for the Returned TLVs TLV (0x0304).
+
+ - LDP Status Code code point for the Unsupported Capability Status
+ Code (0x0000002E).
