Introduction + + This document specifies extensions to the OSPF routing protocol + [OSPF] in support of carrying link state information for Generalized + Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS). The set of required + enhancements to OSPF are outlined in [GMPLS-ROUTING]. + + In this section, we define the enhancements to the Traffic + Engineering (TE) properties of GMPLS TE links that can be announced + in OSPF TE LSAs. The TE LSA, which is an opaque LSA with area + flooding scope [OSPF-TE], has only one top-level Type/Length/Value + (TLV) triplet and has one or more nested sub-TLVs for extensibility. + The top-level TLV can take one of two values (1) Router Address or + (2) Link. In this document, we enhance the sub-TLVs for the Link TLV + in support of GMPLS. Specifically, we add the following sub-TLVs to + the Link TLV: + + + + + + + + +Kompella & Rekhter Standards Track [Page 1] + +RFC 4203 OSPF Extensions in MPLS October 2005 + + + Sub-TLV Type Length Name + 11 8 Link Local/Remote Identifiers + 14 4 Link Protection Type + 15 variable Interface Switching Capability Descriptor + 16 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 BCP 14, RFC 2119 + [RFC2119]. + +1.1. Link Local/Remote Identifiers + + Link Local/Remote Identifiers is a sub-TLV of the Link TLV. The type + of this sub-TLV is 11, 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]).

Implications on Graceful Restart + + The restarting node should follow the OSPF restart procedures + [OSPF-RESTART], and the RSVP-TE restart procedures [GMPLS-RSVP]. + + When a restarting node is going to originate its TE LSAs, the TE LSAs + containing Link TLV should be originated with 0 unreserved bandwidth, + Traffic Engineering metric set to 0xffffffff, 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 TE LSAs. + + In addition in the case of a planned restart prior to restarting, the + restarting node SHOULD originate the TE LSAs containing Link TLV 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 advertise the actual + unreserved bandwidth on the TE links from the neighbors to that node. + + Regular graceful restart should not be aborted if a TE LSA or TE + topology changes. TE graceful restart need not be aborted if a TE + LSA or TE topology changes. + +3. Exchanging Link Local TE Information + + It is often useful for a node to communicate some Traffic Engineering + information for a given interface to its neighbors on that interface. + One example of this is a Link Local Identifier. If nodes X and Y are + connected by an unnumbered point-to-point interface I, then X's Link + Local Identifier for I is Y's Link Remote Identifier for I. X can + communicate its Link Local Identifier for I by exchanging with Y a TE + link local opaque LSA described below. Note that this information + need only be exchanged over interface I, hence the use of a link + local Opaque LSA. + + + + + +Kompella & Rekhter Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 4203 OSPF Extensions in MPLS October 2005 + + + A TE Link Local LSA is an opaque LSA of type 9 (link-local flooding + scope) with Opaque Type 1 (TE LSA) and Opaque ID of 0. + + 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 + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | LS age | Options | 9 | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Opaque Type | Opaque ID | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | Advertising Router | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | LS sequence number | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | LS checksum | length | + +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ + | | + +- TLVs -+ + | ... | + + The format of the TLVs that make up the body of the TE Link Local LSA + is the same as that of the TE TLVs: a 2-octet Type field followed by + a 2-octet Length field which indicates the length of the Value field + in octets.

Security Considerations + + This document specifies the contents of Opaque LSAs in OSPFv2. As + Opaque LSAs are not used for SPF computation or normal routing, the + extensions specified here have no direct effect on IP routing. + Tampering with GMPLS TE LSAs may have an effect on the underlying + transport (optical and/or SONET-SDH) network. [OSPF-TE] suggests + mechanisms such as [OSPF-SIG] to protect the transmission of this + information, and those or other mechanisms should be used to secure + and/or authenticate the information carried in the Opaque LSAs. + +7. IANA Considerations + + The memo introduces four new sub-TLVs of the TE Link TLV in the TE + Opaque LSA for OSPF v2; [OSPF-TE] says that the sub-TLVs of the TE + Link TLV in the range 10-32767 must be assigned by Expert Review, and + must be registered with IANA. + + The memo has four suggested values for the four sub-TLVs of the TE + Link TLV; it is strongly recommended that the suggested values be + granted, as there are interoperable implementations using these + values. + + Finally, a new Top Level Type for OSPF TE LSAs for the Link Local TLV + has been allocated from the Standards Action space. + +8.
