Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 8510 OSPF LLS Extensions for Interface ID January 2019 + + +1. Introduction + + Every OSPF interface is assigned an Interface ID that uniquely + identifies the interface on the router. [RFC2328] uses this + Interface ID in the Router Link State Advertisement (Router-LSA) Link + Data for unnumbered links and uses the value of the MIB-II ifIndex + [RFC2863]. [RFC4203] refers to these Interface IDs as the Link + Local/Remote Identifiers and defines a way to advertise and use them + for GMPLS purposes. [RFC8379] defines a way to advertise Local/ + Remote Interface IDs in the OSPFv2 Extended Link Opaque LSA. + + There is a known OSPFv2 protocol problem in verifying the + bidirectional connectivity with parallel unnumbered links. If there + are two parallel unnumbered links between a pair of routers and each + link is only advertised from a single direction, such two + unidirectional parallel links could be considered as a valid single + bidirectional link during the OSPF route computation on some other + router. If each link is advertised with both its Local and Remote + Interface IDs, the advertisement of each link from both sides of + adjacency can be verified by cross-checking the Local and Remote + Interface IDs of both advertisements. + + From the perspective of the advertising router, the Local Interface + ID is a known value. However, the Remote Interface ID needs to be + learned before it can be advertised. [RFC4203] suggests using the TE + Link Local LSA [RFC3630] to communicate the Local Interface ID to + neighbors on the link. Though such a mechanism works, it has some + drawbacks. + + This document proposes an extension to OSPF link-local signaling + (LLS) [RFC5613] to advertise the Local Interface ID. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Psenak, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 8510 OSPF LLS Extensions for Interface ID January 2019 + + +1.1. Interface ID Exchange Using Link Local TE Opaque LSA + + Usage of the Link Local TE Opaque LSA to propagate the Local + Interface ID to the neighbors on the link is described in [RFC4203]. + This mechanism has the following problems: + + o LSAs can only be flooded over an existing adjacency that is in + Exchange state or greater. The adjacency state machine progresses + independently on each side of the adjacency and, as such, may + reach the Full state on one side before the Link Local TE Opaque + LSA arrives. The consequence of this is that the link can be + initially advertised without the Remote Interface ID. Later, when + the Link Local TE Opaque LSA arrives, the link must be advertised + again but this time with the valid Remote Interface ID. + Implementations may choose to wait before advertising the link, + but there is no guarantee that the neighbor will ever advertise + the Link Local TE Opaque LSA with the Interface ID. In summary, + the existing mechanism does not guarantee that the Remote + Interface ID is known at the time the link is advertised. + + o The Link Local TE Opaque LSA is defined for MPLS Traffic + Engineering, but the knowledge of the Remote Interface ID is + useful also for cases where MPLS TE is not used. One example is + the mentioned lack of a valid 2-way connectivity check for + parallel point-to-point links between OSPF routers. + +1.2. Requirements Language + + The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", + "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and + "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in + BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all + capitals, as shown here. + +2. Interface ID Exchange Using OSPF LLS + + To address the problems described earlier and to allow the Interface + ID exchange to be part of the neighbor discovery process, we propose + to extend OSPF link-local signaling to advertise the Local Interface + ID in OSPF Hello and Database Description (DD) packets. + + + + + + + + + + + +Psenak, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 8510 OSPF LLS Extensions for Interface ID January 2019 + + +2.1. Local Interface ID TLV + + The Local Interface ID TLV is an LLS TLV. It has the 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 + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Type | Length | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Local Interface ID | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + + Type: 18 + + Length: 4 octets + + Local Interface ID: The value of the Local Interface ID. + + Local Interface ID TLV signaling using LLS is applicable to all OSPF + interface types other than virtual links. + +3. Backward Compatibility with RFC 4203 + + If the Local Interface ID signaling via the Link Local TE Opaque LSA + is supported in addition to the new LLS mechanism, implementations + that support Local Interface ID signaling using LLS MUST prefer the + Local Interface ID value received through LLS over the value received + through the Link Local TE Opaque LSA if both are received from the + same OSPF router. + + Implementations that support Local Interface ID signaling via the + Link Local TE Opaque LSA MAY continue to do so to ensure backward + compatibility. If they also support Local Interface ID signaling + using LLS as described in the document, they MUST signal the same + Local Interface ID via both mechanisms. + + During the rare conditions in which the Local Interface ID changes, a + timing interval may exist where the received values of the Local + Interface ID advertised through LLS and the Link Local TE Opaque LSA + may differ. Such a situation is temporary, and received values via + both mechanisms should become equal as soon as the next Hello and/or + Link Local TE Opaque LSA is regenerated by the originator. + + + + + + + + +Psenak, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 8510 OSPF LLS Extensions for Interface ID January 2019 + + +4. IANA Considerations + + IANA has allocated the following code point in the "Link Local + Signalling TLV Identifiers (LLS Types)" subregistry of the "Open + Shortest Path First (OSPF) Link Local Signalling (LLS) - Type/Length/ + Value Identifiers (TLV)" registry. + + 18 - Local Interface ID TLV + +5. Security Considerations + + The security considerations for "OSPF Link-Local Signaling" [RFC5613] + also apply to the Local Interface ID TLV described in this document. + The current usage of a neighbor's Local Interface ID is to + disambiguate parallel links between OSPF routers. Hence, + modification of the advertised Local Interface ID TLV may result in + the wrong neighbor Interface ID being advertised in the OSPFv2 + Extended Link Opaque LSA [RFC7684] and could prevent the link from + being used. If authentication is being used in the OSPF routing + domain [RFC5709][RFC7474], then the Cryptographic Authentication TLV + [RFC5613] SHOULD also be used to protect the contents of the LLS + block. + + Receiving a malformed LLS Local Interface ID TLV MUST NOT result in a + hard router or OSPF process failure. The reception of malformed LLS + TLVs or sub-TLVs SHOULD be logged, but such logging MUST be rate- + limited to prevent denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. + + The Interface ID is assigned by the advertising OSPF router as a + locally unique identifier and need not be unique in any broader + context; it is not expected to contain any information about the + device owner or traffic transiting the device, so there are no + privacy concerns associated with its advertisement. + +6.
