+ Extensions to OSPF for Advertising Optional Router Capabilities
+
+Abstract
+
+ It is useful for routers in an OSPFv2 or OSPFv3 routing domain to
+ know the capabilities of their neighbors and other routers in the
+ routing domain. This document proposes extensions to OSPFv2 and
+ OSPFv3 for advertising optional router capabilities. The Router
+ Information (RI) Link State Advertisement (LSA) is defined for this
+ purpose. In OSPFv2, the RI LSA will be implemented with an Opaque
+ LSA type ID. In OSPFv3, the RI LSA will be implemented with a unique
+ LSA type function code. In both protocols, the RI LSA can be
+ advertised at any of the defined flooding scopes (link, area, or
+ autonomous system (AS)). This document obsoletes RFC 4970 by
+ providing a revised specification that includes support for
+ advertisement of multiple instances of the RI LSA and a TLV for
+ functional capabilities.

+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ It is useful for routers in an OSPFv2 [OSPF] or OSPFv3 [OSPFv3]
+ routing domain to know the capabilities of their neighbors and other
+ routers in the routing domain. This can be useful for both the
+ advertisement and discovery of OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 capabilities.
+ Throughout this document, OSPF will be used when the specification is
+ applicable to both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. Similarly, OSPFv2 or OSPFv3
+ will be used when the text is protocol specific.
+
+ OSPF uses the options field in LSAs and hello packets to advertise
+ optional router capabilities. In the case of OSPFv2, all the bits in
+ this field have been allocated so additional optional capabilities
+ cannot be advertised. This document describes extensions to OSPF to
+ advertise these optional capabilities via Opaque LSAs in OSPFv2 and
+ LSAs with a unique type in OSPFv3. For existing OSPF capabilities,
+ backwards compatibility issues dictate that this advertisement is
+ used primarily for informational purposes. For future OSPF
+ extensions, this advertisement MAY be used as the sole mechanism for
+ advertisement and discovery.
+
+ This document obsoletes RFC 4970 by providing a revised specification
+ including support for advertisement of multiple instances of the RI
+ LSA and a TLV for functional capabilities.
+
+1.1. Requirements Notation
+
+ 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-KEYWORDS].
+
+1.2. Summary of Changes from RFC 4970
+
+ This document includes the following changes from RFC 4970 [RFC4970]:
+
+ 1. The main change is that an OSPF router will be able to advertise
+ multiple instances of the OSPF Router Information LSA. This
+ change permeates through much of the document.
+
+ 2. Additionally, Section 2.6 includes an additional TLV for
+ functional capabilities. This is in contrast to the existing TLV
+ that is used to advertise capabilities for informational purposes
+ only.

+
+RFC 7770 OSPF Capability Extensions February 2016
+
+
+ 3. The IANA allocation policy has been changed from "Standards
+ Action" to "IETF Review" [IANA-GUIDE] for the following
+ registries:
+
+ o OSPFv3 LSA Function Codes
+ o OSPF Router Information (RI) TLVs
+ o OSPF Router Informational Capability Bits
+ o OSPF Router Functional Capability Bits
+
+ 4. Finally, references have been updated for documents that have
+ become RFCs and RFCs that have been obsoleted since the
+ publication of RFC 4970.
+
+2. OSPF Router Information (RI) LSA
+
+2.1. OSPFv2 Router Information (RI) Opaque LSA
+
+ OSPFv2 routers will advertise a link scoped, area-scoped, or AS-
+ scoped Opaque LSA [OPAQUE]. The OSPFv2 RI LSA has an Opaque type of
+ 4 and the Opaque ID is the RI LSA Instance ID. The first Opaque ID,
+ i.e., 0, SHOULD always contain the Router Informational Capabilities
+ TLV and, if advertised, the Router Functional Capabilities TLV. RI
+ LSA instances subsequent to the first can be used for information
+ that doesn't fit in the first instance.
+
+ OSPFv2 routers will advertise a link-scoped, area-scoped, or AS-
+ scoped Opaque LSA [OPAQUE]. The OSPFv2 Router Information LSA has an
+ Opaque type of 4. The Opaque ID specifies the LSA Instance ID with
+ the first instance always having an Instance ID of 0.

+
+2.2. OSPFv3 Router Information (RI) Opaque LSA
+
+ The OSPFv3 Router Information LSA has a function code of 12 while the
+ S1/S2 bits are dependent on the desired flooding scope for the LSA.
+ The U bit will be set indicating that the OSPFv3 RI LSA should be
+ flooded even if it is not understood. The Link State ID (LSID) value
+ for this LSA is the Instance ID. The first Instance ID, i.e., 0,
+ SHOULD always contain the Router Informational Capabilities TLV and,
+ if advertised, the Router Functional Capabilities TLV. OSPFv3 Router
+ Information LSAs subsequent to the first can be used for information
+ that doesn't fit in the first instance. OSPFv3 routers MAY advertise
+ multiple RI LSAs per flooding scope.

+
+
+2.3. OSPF Router Information LSA TLV Format
+
+ The format of the TLVs within the body of an RI LSA is the same as
+ the format used by the Traffic Engineering Extensions to OSPF [TE].
+ The LSA payload consists of one or more nested Type/Length/Value
+ (TLV) triplets. The format of each TLV is:
+
+ 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 |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+ | Value... |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ Figure 3. TLV Format
+
+ The Length field defines the length of the value portion in octets
+ (thus a TLV with no value portion would have a length of 0). The TLV
+ is padded to 4-octet alignment; padding is not included in the length
+ field (so a 3-octet value would have a length of 3, but the total
+ size of the TLV would be 8 octets). Nested TLVs are also 4-octet
+ aligned. For example, a 1-octet value would have the length field
+ set to 1, and 3 octets of padding would be added to the end of the
+ value portion of the TLV. The padding is composed of undefined bits.
+ Unrecognized types are ignored.
+
+ When a new Router Information LSA TLV is defined, the specification
+ MUST explicitly state whether the TLV is applicable to OSPFv2 only,
+ OSPFv3 only, or both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3.
+
+2.4. OSPF Router Informational Capabilities TLV
+
+ An OSPF router advertising an OSPF RI LSA MAY include the Router
+ Informational Capabilities TLV. If included, it MUST be the first
+ TLV in the first instance, i.e., Instance 0, of the OSPF RI LSA.
+ Additionally, the TLV MUST accurately reflect the OSPF router's
+ capabilities in the scope advertised. However, the informational
+ capabilities advertised have no impact on OSPF protocol operation;
+ they are advertised purely for informational purposes.

+
+ 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 A 16-bit field set to 1.
+
+ Length A 16-bit field that indicates the length of the value
+ portion in octets and will be a multiple of 4 octets
+ dependent on the number of capabilities advertised.
+ Initially, the length will be 4, denoting 4 octets of
+ informational capability bits.
+
+ Value A variable-length sequence of capability bits rounded to
+ a multiple of 4 octets padded with undefined bits.
+ Initially, there are 4 octets of capability bits. Bits
+ are numbered left to right starting with the most
+ significant bit being bit 0.

+
+
+2.6. OSPF Router Functional Capabilities TLV
+
+ This specification also defines the Router Functional Capabilities
+ TLV for advertisement in the OSPF Router Information LSA. An OSPF
+ router advertising an OSPF RI LSA MAY include the Router Functional
+ Capabilities TLV. If included, it MUST be the included in the first
+ instance of the LSA. Additionally, the TLV MUST reflect the
+ advertising OSPF router's actual functional capabilities since the
+ information will be used to dictate OSPF protocol operation in the
+ flooding scope of the containing OSPF RI LSA. If the TLV is not
+ included or the length doesn't include the assigned OSPF functional
+ capability bit, the corresponding OSPF functional capability is
+ implicitly advertised as not being supported by the advertising OSPF
+ router.
+
+ The format of the Router Functional Capabilities 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

+ | Functional Capabilities |
+ +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
+
+ Type A 16-bit field set to 2.
+
+ Length A 16-bit field that indicates the length of the value
+ portion in octets and will be a multiple of 4 octets
+ dependent on the number of capabilities advertised.
+ Initially, the length will be 4, denoting 4 octets of
+ informational capability bits.
+
+ Value A variable-length sequence of capability bits rounded
+ to a multiple of 4 octets padded with undefined bits.
+ Initially, there are 4 octets of capability bits. Bits
+ are numbered left to right starting with the most
+ significant bit being bit 0.
+
+ Figure 6. OSPF Router Functional Capabilities TLV
+
+ The Router Functional Capabilities TLV MAY be followed by optional
+ TLVs that further specify a capability. In contrast to the Router
+ Informational Capabilities TLV, the OSPF extensions advertised in
+ this TLV MAY be used by other OSPF routers to dictate protocol
+ operation. The specifications for functional capabilities advertised
+ in this TLV MUST describe protocol behavior and address backwards
+ compatibility.
+
+
+
+Lindem, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
+
+RFC 7770 OSPF Capability Extensions February 2016
+
+
+2.7. Flooding Scope of the Router Information LSA
+
+ The flooding scope for a Router Information LSA is determined by the
+ LSA type. For OSPFv2, a type 9 (link-scoped), type 10 (area-scoped),
+ or type 11 (AS-scoped) Opaque LSA may be flooded. For OSPFv3, the S1
+ and S2 bits in the LSA type determine the flooding scope. If AS-wide
+ flooding scope is chosen, the originating router should also
+ advertise area-scoped LSA(s) into any attached Not-So-Stubby Area
+ (NSSA) area(s). An OSPF router MAY advertise different capabilities
+ when both NSSA area-scoped LSA(s) and an AS-scoped LSA are
+ advertised. This allows functional capabilities to be limited in
+ scope. For example, a router may be an area border router but only
+ support traffic engineering (TE) in a subset of its attached areas.
+
+ The choice of flooding scope is made by the advertising router and is
+ a matter of local policy. The originating router MAY advertise
+ multiple RI LSAs with the same Instance ID as long as the flooding
+ scopes differ. TLV flooding-scope rules will be specified on a per-
+ TLV basis and MUST be specified in the accompanying specifications
+ for future Router Information LSA TLVs.
+
+3. Backwards Compatibility
+
+ For backwards compatibility, previously advertised Router Information
+ TLVs SHOULD continue to be advertised in the first instance, i.e., 0,
+ of the Router Information LSA. If a Router Information TLV is
+ advertised in multiple Router Information LSA instances and the
+ multiple instance processing is not explicitly specified in the RFC
+ defining that Router Information TLV, the Router Instance TLV in the
+ Router Information LSA with the numerically smallest Instance ID will
+ be used and subsequent instances will be ignored.
+
+4. Security Considerations
+
+ This document describes both a generic mechanism for advertising
+ router capabilities and TLVs for advertising informational and
+ functional capabilities. The capability TLVs are less critical than
+ the topology information currently advertised by the base OSPF
+ protocol. The security considerations for the generic mechanism are
+ dependent on the future application and, as such, should be described
+ as additional capabilities are proposed for advertisement. Security
+ considerations for the base OSPF protocol are covered in [OSPF] and
+ [OSPFv3].

+
+5. IANA Considerations
+
+5.1. OSPFv2 Opaque LSA Type Assignment
+
+ [RFC4970] defined the Router Information Opaque LSA as type 4 in the
+ "Opaque Link-State Advertisements (LSA) Option Types" registry. IANA
+ has updated the reference for that entry to point to this RFC.
+
+5.2. OSPFv3 LSA Function Code Assignment
+
+ [RFC4970] created the registry for "OSPFv3 LSA Function Codes". IANA
+ has updated the reference for that registry to point to this RFC.
+ References within that registry to [RFC4970] have been updated to
+ point to this RFC; references to other RFCs are unchanged.
+
+ The definition and assignment policy has been updated as follows.
+
+ This registry is now comprised of the fields Value, LSA Function Code
+ Name, and Reference. The OSPFv3 LSA function code is defined in
+ Appendix A.4.2.1 of [OSPFv3]. Values 1-11 and 13-15 have already
+ been assigned. The OSPFv3 LSA function code 12 has been assigned to
+ the OSPFv3 Router Information (RI) LSA as defined herein.

+
+ Figure 7. OSPFv3 LSA Function Codes
+
+ o The assignment policy for OSPFv3 LSA function codes in the range
+ 16-255 has changed and are now assigned subject to IETF Review.
+ New values are assigned through RFCs that have been shepherded
+ through the IESG as AD-Sponsored or IETF WG documents
+ [IANA-GUIDE].

+
+
+
+
+Lindem, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
+
+RFC 7770 OSPF Capability Extensions February 2016
+
+
+ o OSPFv3 LSA function codes in the range 8176-8183 are for
+ experimental use; these will not be registered with IANA and MUST
+ NOT be mentioned by RFCs.
+
+ o OSPFv3 LSAs with an LSA Function Code in the Vendor Private Use
+ range 8184-8190 MUST include the Enterprise Code [ENTERPRISE-CODE]
+ as the first 4 octets following the 20 octets of LSA header.
+
+ o If a new LSA Function Code is documented, the documentation MUST
+ include the valid combinations of the U, S2, and S1 bits for the
+ LSA. It SHOULD also describe how the Link State ID is to be
+ assigned.
+
+5.3. OSPF RI LSA TLV Type Assignment
+
+ [RFC4970] created the registry for "OSPF Router Information (RI)
+ TLVs". IANA has updated the reference for this registry to point to
+ this RFC. References within that registry to [RFC4970] have been
+ updated to point to this RFC; references to other RFCs are unchanged.
+
+ The definition and assignment policy has been updated as follows.
+
+ The registry is now comprised of the fields Value, TLV Name, and
+ Reference. Values 3-9 have already been assigned. Value 1 has been
+ assigned to the Router Informational Capabilities TLV and value 2 has
+ been assigned to the Router Functional Capabilities TLV as defined
+ herein.
+
+ +-------------+-----------------------------------+
+ | Range | Assignment Policy |
+ +-------------+-----------------------------------+
+ | 0 | Reserved (not to be assigned) |
+ | | |
+ | 10-32767 | Unassigned (IETF Review) |
+ | | |
+ | 32768-32777 | Experimentation (No assignments) |
+ | | |
+ | 32778-65535 | Reserved (Not to be assigned) |
+ +-------------+-----------------------------------+
+
+ Figure 8. OSPF RI TLVs
+
+ o Types in the range 10-32767 are to be assigned subject to IETF
+ Review. New values are assigned through RFCs that have been
+ shepherded through the IESG as AD-Sponsored or IETF WG documents
+ [IANA-GUIDE].
+
+
+
+
+
+Lindem, et al. Standards Track [Page 11]
+
+RFC 7770 OSPF Capability Extensions February 2016
+
+
+ o Types in the range 32778-65535 are reserved and are not to be
+ assigned at this time. Before any assignments can be made in this
+ range, there MUST be a Standards Track RFC that specifies IANA
+ Considerations that cover the range being assigned.
+
+5.4. Registry for OSPF Router Informational Capability Bits
+
+ [RFC4970] created the registry for "OSPF Router Informational
+ Capability Bits". IANA has updated the reference for this registry
+ to point to this RFC. The definition and assignment policy has been
+ updated as follows.
+
+ o This registry is now comprised of the fields Bit Number,
+ Capability Name, and Reference.
+
+ o The values are defined in Section 2.6. All Router Informational
+ Capability TLV additions are to be assigned through IETF Review
+ [IANA-GUIDE].
+
+5.5. Registry for OSPF Router Functional Capability Bits
+
+ IANA has created a subregistry for "OSPF Router Functional Capability
+ Bits" within the "Open Shortest Path First v2 (OSPFv2) Parameters"
+ registry. This subregistry is comprised of the fields Bit Number,
+ Capability Name, and Reference. Initially, the subregistry will be
+ empty but will be available for future capabilities. All Router
+ Functional Capability TLV additions are to be assigned through IETF
+ Review [IANA-GUIDE].
