Introduction + + The IS-IS [ISO-10589] routing protocol has been widely used in large- + scale IP networks because of its strong scalability and fast + convergence. + + The IS-IS protocol floods purges throughout an area, regardless of + which IS initiated the purge. If a network operator would like to + investigate the cause of the purge, it is difficult to determine the + origin of the purge. At present, the IS-IS protocol has no mechanism + to locate the originator of a purge. To address this problem, this + document defines a TLV to be added to purges to record the system ID + of the IS generating the purge. + + Field experience has shown several circumstances where an IS can + improperly generate a purge. These are all due to implementation + deficiencies or implementations that predate [ISO-TC1] and generate a + purge when they receive a corrupted Link State Protocol Data Unit + (LSP). + + + + + + +Wei, et al. Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 6232 Purge Originator Identification TLV May 2011 + + +2. Requirements Language + + 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]. + +3. The Purge Originator Identification (POI) TLV + + This document defines a TLV to be included in purges. If an IS + generates a purge, it SHOULD include this TLV in the purge with its + own system ID. If an IS receives a purge that does not include this + TLV, then it SHOULD add this TLV with both its own system ID and the + system ID of the IS from which it received the purge. This allows + ISs receiving purges to log the system ID of the originator, or the + upstream source of the purge. This makes it much easier for the + network administrator to locate the origin of the purge and thus the + cause of the purge. Similarly, this TLV is helpful to developers in + lab situations. + + The POI TLV is defined as: + + CODE - 13 + + LENGTH - total length of the value field. + + VALUE - + + Number of system IDs carried in this TLV (1 octet) -- only the + values 1 and 2 are defined. + + System ID of the Intermediate System that inserted this TLV. + + System ID of the Intermediate System from which the purge was + received (optional). + + The POI TLV SHOULD be found in all purges and MUST NOT be found in + LSPs with a non-zero Remaining Lifetime. + +4. Using the Dynamic Hostname TLV in Purges + + This document also extends the use of the Dynamic hostname TLV + (type 137) [RFC5301] to further aid in the rapid identification of + the system that generated the purge. This TLV MAY be included in + purges. Implementations SHOULD include one instance of the Dynamic + hostname TLV if the POI TLV is included. Only the local hostname + should be inserted. + + + + + +Wei, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 6232 Purge Originator Identification TLV May 2011 + + +5. Security Considerations + + Use of the extensions defined here, with authentication as defined in + [RFC5304] or [RFC5310], will result in the discarding of purges by + legacy systems that are in strict conformance with either of those + RFCs. This may compromise the correctness/consistency of the routing + database unless all ISs in the network support these extensions. + Therefore, all implementations in a domain implementing + authentication MUST be upgraded to receive the POI TLV before any IS + is allowed to generate a purge with the POI TLV. + + More interactions between the POI TLV, the Dynamic hostname TLV, and + the Authentication TLV are described in [RFC6233]. + +6. IANA Considerations + + IANA has assigned code point 13 for the 'Purge Originator + Identification' TLV from the IS-IS 'TLV Codepoints' registry. The + additional values for this TLV should be IIH:n, LSP:y, SNP:n, and + Purge:y. + +7.
