Abstract 
    
   It is highly desired in several cases, to take into account Traffic 
   Engineering (TE) node capabilities during Multi Protocol Label 
   Switching (MPLS) Traffic Engineered Label Switched Path (TE-LSP)  
   selection, such as for instance the capability to act as a branch 
   Label Switching Router (LSR) of a Point-To-MultiPoint (P2MP) LSP. 
   This requires advertising these capabilities within the Interior 
   Gateway Protocol (IGP). For that purpose, this document specifies 
   Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Intermediate System-Intermediate 
   System (IS-IS) traffic engineering extensions for the advertisement 
   of control plane and data plane traffic engineering node 
   capabilities.

1. Terminology 
    
   This document uses terminologies defined in [RFC3031], [RFC3209] and 
   [RFC4461]. 
 
2. Introduction 
    
   Multi Protocol Label Switching-Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE) routing 
   ([RFC3784], [RFC3630], [OSPFv3-TE]) relies on extensions to link 
   state Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP) ([IS-IS], [RFC2328], 
   [RFC2740]) in order to advertise Traffic Engineering (TE) link 
   information used for constraint based routing. Further Generalized 
   MPLS (GMPLS) related routing extensions are defined in [RFC4205] and 
   [RFC4203].  
    
   It is desired to complement these routing extensions in order to 
   advertise TE node capabilities, in addition to TE link information. 
   These TE node capabilities will be taken into account as constraints 
   during path selection. 
    
   Indeed, it is useful to advertise data plane TE node capabilities, 
   such as the capability for a Label Switching Router (LSR) to be a 
   branch LSR or a bud-LSR of a Point-To-MultiPoint (P2MP) Label 
   Switched Path (LSP). These capabilities can then be taken into 
   account as constraints when computing the route of TE LSPs. 
    
   It is also useful to advertise control plane TE node capabilities 
   such as the capability to support GMPLS signaling for a packet LSR, 
   or the capability to support P2MP (Point to Multipoint) TE LSP 
   signaling.  This allows selecting a path that avoids nodes that do 
   not support a given signaling feature, or triggering a mechanism to 
   support such nodes. Hence this facilitates backward compatibility. 
    
   For that purpose, this document specifies IGP (OSPF and IS-IS) 
   traffic engineering node capability TLVs in order to advertise data 
   plane and control plane capabilities of a node. 
    
   A new TLV is defined for ISIS and OSPF: the TE Node Capability 
   Descriptor TLV, to be carried within: 
        - The ISIS Capability TLV ([ISIS-CAP]) for ISIS 
        - The Router Information LSA ([OSPF-CAP]) for OSPF.

3. TE Node Capability Descriptor  
 
3.1. Description 
 
   LSRs in a network may have distinct control plane and data plane  
   Traffic Engineering capabilities. The TE Node Capability Descriptor  
   information defined in this document describes data and control plane 
   capabilities of an LSR. Such information can be used during path 
   computation so as to avoid nodes that do not support a given TE 
   feature either in the control or data plane, or to trigger procedures 
   to handle these nodes along the path (e.g, trigger LSP hierarchy to 
   support a legacy transit LSR on a P2MP LSP (see [RSVP-P2MP])).  
    
3.2. Required Information 
    
   The TE Node Capability Descriptor contains two variable length sets 
   of bit flags: 
        - The Data Plane Capabilities: This is a variable length  
          set of bit flags where each bit corresponds to a given data  
          plane TE node capability.  
        - The Control Plane Capabilities: This is a variable length  
          set of bit flags where each bit corresponds to a given  
          control plane TE node capability.  
              
   Two Data Plane Capabilities are defined in this document: 
        - B bit: when set, this flag indicates that the LSR can act  
                 as a branch node on a P2MP LSP (see [RFC4461]);  
        - E bit: when set, this flag indicates that the LSR can act  
                 as a bud LSR on a P2MP LSP, i.e. an LSR that is both  
                 transit and egress (see [RFC4461]).  
              
   Three Control Plane Capabilities are defined in this document:   
        - M bit: when set, this flag indicates that the LSR supports  
                 MPLS-TE signaling ([RFC3209]);        
        - G bit: when set this flag indicates that the LSR supports  
                 GMPLS signaling ([RFC3473]); 
        - P bit: when set, this flag indicates that the LSR supports  
                 P2MP MPLS-TE signaling ([RSVP-P2MP]).  
 
   Note that new capability bits may be added in the future if required. 
   Also, more complex capabilities encoded within sub-TLVs may be added 
   in the future if required.

4. TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV formats  
    
4.1. OSPF TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV format  
    
   The OSPF TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV contains a non ordered set 
   of sub-TLVs.  
    
   The format of the OSPF TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV and its sub-
   TLVs is the same as the TLV format used by the Traffic Engineering 
   Extensions to OSPF [RFC3630]. That is, the TLV is composed of 2 
   octets for the type, 2 octets specifying the length of the value 
   field and a value field.  The TLV is zero padded to four-octet 
   alignment; padding is not included in the length field value (so a 
   three octet value would have a length of three, but the total size of 
   the TLV would be eight octets).  Sub-TLVs are also 32-bit aligned.  
   Unrecognized types are ignored.  All types between 32768 and 65535 
   are reserved for vendor-specific extensions.  All other undefined 
   type codes are reserved for future assignment by IANA.  
    
   The OSPF TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV has the following format:  
          
         TYPE     To be defined by IANA 
         LENGTH   Variable 
         VALUE    This comprises one or more sub-TLVs  
    
   Currently two sub-TLVs are defined:                   
            Sub-TLV type  Length               Name   
                1      variable     DATA-PLANE-CAP sub-TLV   
                2      variable     CONTROL-PLANE-CAP sub-TLV  
                       
   Any unrecognized sub-TLV MUST be silently ignored.   
   More sub-TLVs could be added in the future to handle new 
   capabilities. 
 
   The OSPF TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV is carried within an OSPF 
   Router Information LSA which is defined in [OSPF-CAP]. 
 
    
4.1.1. The DATA-PLANE-CAP sub-TLV  
           
   The DATA-PLANE-CAP sub-TLV is a variable length TLV that contains a 
   series of bit flags, where each bit correspond to a data plane TE 
   node capability. 
        
   The format of the DATA-PLANE-CAP sub-TLV is as follows: 
    
         TYPE     To be assigned by IANA (suggested value =1). 
         LENGTH   Variable (multiple of 4).  
         VALUE    Array of units of 32 flags numbered from the most  
                  significant bit as bit zero, where each bit represents   
                  a data plane TE node capability.

   The IS-IS TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV contains a non ordered 
   set of sub-TLVs.  
    
   The format of the IS-IS TE Node Capability TLV and its sub-TLVs is 
   the same as the TLV format used by the Traffic Engineering Extensions 
   to IS-IS [RFC3784]. That is, the TLV is composed of 1 octet for the   
   type, 1 octet specifying the TLV length and a value field.

5. Elements of procedure 
 
5.1. OSPF 
    
   The TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV is advertised, within an OSPFv2 
   Router Information LSA (Opaque type of 4 and Opaque ID of 0) 
   or an OSPFv3 Router information LSA (function code of 12) which are 
   defined in [OSPF-CAP].  As such, elements of procedure are inherited 
   from those defined in [RFC2328], [RFC2740], and [OSPF-CAP]. 
    
   The TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV advertises capabilities that  
   may be taken into account as constraints during path selection. Hence  
   its flooding scope is area-local, and it MUST be carried within 
   OSPFv2 type 10 Router Information LSA (as defined in [RFC2370]) or an 
   OSPFv3 Router Information LSA with the S1 bit set and the S2 bit 
   cleared (as defined in [RFC2740]). 
 
   A router MUST originate a new OSPF router information LSA whenever  
   the content of the TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV changes or 
   whenever required by the regular OSPF procedure (LSA refresh (every 
   LSRefreshTime)).  
 
   The TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV is OPTIONAL and MUST appear at 
   most once in an OSPF Router Information LSA. If a TE Node Capability 
   Descriptor TLV appears more than once in an OSPF Router Information 
   LSA, only the first occurrence MUST be processed, other occurrences 
   MUST be discarded.  
 
   The TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV MUST contain at least one sub-
   TLV. An empty TE Node Capability Descriptor MUST be discarded. 
 
   When an OSPF LSA does not contain any TE Node capability Descriptor    
   TLV, this means that the TE Capabilities of that LSR are unknown.   
    
   Note that a change in any of these capabilities MAY trigger CSPF    
   computation, but MUST not trigger normal SPF computation. 
    
   Note also that TE node capabilities are expected to be fairly static.   
   They may change as the result of configuration change, or software  
   upgrade. This is expected not to appear more than once a day.

5.2. IS-IS 
 
   The TE Node Capability TLV is carried within an IS-IS CAPABILITY TLV 
   defined in [IS-IS-CAP]. As such, elements of procedure are inherited 
   from those defined in [IS-IS-CAP]. 
 
   The TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV advertises capabilities that 
   may be taken into account as constraints during path selection. Hence 
   its flooding is area-local, and MUST be carried within an IS-IS 
   CAPABILITY TLV having the S flag cleared.  
 
   An IS-IS router MUST originate a new IS-IS LSP whenever the content  
   of any of the TE Node Capability TLV changes or whenever required by 
   the regular IS-IS procedure (LSP refresh).  
    
   The TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV is OPTIONAL and MUST appear at 
   most once in an ISIS Router Capability TLV. If a TE Node Capability 
   Descriptor TLV appears more than once in an ISIS Capability TLV, only 
   the first occurrence MUST be processed, other occurrences MUST be 
   discarded.  
 
   The TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV MUST contain at least one sub-
   TLV. An empty TE Node Capability Descriptor MUST be discarded. 
    
   When an IS-IS LSP does not contain any TE Node capability Descriptor 
   TLV, this means that the TE Capabilities of that LSR are unknown.  
    
   Note that a change in any of these capabilities MAY trigger CSPF    
   computation, but MUST not trigger normal SPF computation. 
 
   Note also that TE node capabilities are expected to be fairly static.    
   They may change as the result of configuration change, or software  
   upgrade. This is expected not to appear more than once a day. 
 
                  
6. Backward compatibility 
    
   The TE Node Capability Descriptor TLVs defined in this document do 
   not introduce any interoperability issue. For OSPF, a router not 
   supporting the TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV MUST just silently 
   ignore the TLV as specified in [OSPF-CAP]. For IS-IS a router not 
   supporting the TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV MUST just silently 
   ignore the TLV as specified in [IS-IS-CAP]. 
    
   When the TE Node capability Descriptor TLV is absent, this means that 
   the TE Capabilities of that LSR are unknown.  
    
   When the TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV is present, but a sub-TLV 
   is absent, this means that capabilities in that sub-TLV are unknown. 
    
   The absence of a word of capability flags in OSPF or an octet of 
   capability flags in IS-IS means that these capabilities are unknown.

   An unknown sub-TLV carried within the TE Node Capability Descriptor 
   MUST be silently ignored. 
    
 
7. Security Considerations 
 
   This document specifies the content of the TE Node Capability 
   Descriptor TLV in ISIS and OSPF, to be used for (G)MPLS-TE path 
   computation. As this TLV is not used for SPF computation or normal 
   routing, the extensions specified here have no direct effect on IP 
   routing. Tampering with this TLV may have an effect on Traffic 
   Engineering computation. Mechanisms defined to secure ISIS Link State 
   PDUs [ISIS-HMAC], OSPF LSAs [OSPF-SIG], and their TLVs, can be used 
   to secure this TLV as well. 
 
8. IANA considerations  
 
8.1. OSPF TLVs 
 
   IANA is in charge of the assignment of TLV code points for the Router 
   Information LSA defined in [OSPF-CAP]. 
   IANA will assign a new codepoint for the TE Node Capability 
   Descriptor TLV defined in this document and carried within the Router 
   Information LSA (suggested value = 1).  
    
   IANA will be in charge of the assignment of sub-TLV code points for  
   the OSPF TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV defined in this document. 
   New TLV type values may be allocated only by an IETF Consensus 
   action. 
 
   Two sub-TLVs types are defined for this TLV and must be assigned by 
   IANA: 
        -DATA-PLANE-CAP sub-TLV (suggested value =1) 
        -CONTROL-PLANE-CAP sub-TLV (suggested value =2) 
 
8.2. ISIS TLVs 
    
   IANA is in charge of the assignment of sub-TLV code points for the 
   ISIS CAPABILITY TLV defined in [ISIS-CAP]. 
   IANA will assign a new codepoint for the TE Node Capability 
   Descriptor TLV defined in this document, and carried within the ISIS 
   CAPABILITY TLV (suggested value = 1). 
    
   IANA will be in charge of the assignment of sub-TLV code points for  
   the ISIS TE Node Capability Descriptor TLV defined in this document. 
   New TLV type values may be allocated only by an IETF Consensus 
   action.

   Two sub-TLVs types are defined for this TLV and must be assigned by 
   IANA: 
        -DATA-PLANE-CAP sub-TLV (suggested value =1) 
        -CONTROL-PLANE-CAP sub-TLV (suggested value =2) 
    
   Note that ISIS and OSPF TE Node Capability Descriptor sub-TLVs types 
   must be aligned. 
 
8.3. Capability Registries 
 
8.3.1. Data Plane Capabilities Registry 
    
   IANA is requested to manage the space of data plane capability bit 
   flags carried within the OSPF and ISIS DATA-PLANE-CAP sub-TLVs, 
   numbering them in the usual IETF notation starting at zero, with the 
   most significant bit as bit zero. A single registry must be defined 
   for both protocols.  
   New bit numbers may be allocated only by an IETF Consensus action. 
   Each bit should be tracked with the following qualities: 
      - Bit number 
      - Defining RFC 
      - Name of bit 
       
   Two data plane capabilities are defined in this document and must be 
   assigned by IANA. Here are the suggested values: 
      1 : B Bit = P2MP Branch LSR capability 
      2 : E bit = P2MP Bud LSR capability 
    
 
8.3.2. Control Plane Capabilities Registry 
    
   IANA is requested to manage the space of control plane capability bit 
   flags carried within the OSPF and ISIS CONTROL-PLANE-CAP sub-TLVs, 
   numbering them in the usual IETF notation starting at zero, with the 
   most significant bit as bit zero. A single registry must be defined 
   for both protocols.  
   New bit numbers may be allocated only by an IETF Consensus action. 
   Each bit should be tracked with the following qualities: 
      - Bit number 
      - Defining RFC 
      - Name of bit 
    
   Three control plane capabilities are defined in this document and 
   must be assigned by IANA. Here are the suggested values: 
      1 : M bit = MPLS-TE support ([RFC3209]) 
      2 : G bit = GMPLS support (RFC3473)) 
      3 : P bit = P2MP RSVP-TE support ([RSVP-P2MP])
