<abstract><t>This document describes extensions to OSPFv3 to support intra-area
Traffic Engineering (TE). This document extends OSPFv2 TE to handle IPv6 networks.
A new TLV and several new sub-TLVs are defined to support IPv6 networks.</t>
</abstract>
</front>

<section title="Introduction">
<t>OSPFv3 has a very flexible mechanism for adding new LS types.
Unknown LS types are flooded properly based on the flooding scope
bits in the LS type <xref target="OSPFV3"/>. This document defines the
Intra-Area-TE LSA to OSPFv3.</t>
<t>For Traffic Engineering, this document uses "Traffic Engineering
Extensions to OSPF" <xref target="TE"/> as a base for TLV definitions. New TLVs and
sub-TLVs are added to <xref target="TE"/> to extend TE capabilities to IPv6 networks. Some
existing TLVs and sub-TLVs require clarification for OSPFv3 applicability.</t>
<t>GMPLS <xref target="GMPLS"/> and the Diff-Serv MPLS Extensions
<xref target="TE-DIFF"/> are based on <xref target="TE"/>.
These functions can also be extended to OSPFv3 by
utilizing the TLVs and sub-TLVs described in this document.</t>
<section title="Requirements notation">
<t>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 <xref target="RFC-KEYWORDS"/>.</t>
</section>
</section>
<section title="Intra-Area-TE-LSA">
<t>A new LS type is defined for the Intra-Area-TE LSA. This is different
from OSPFv2 Traffic Engineering <xref target="TE"/> where opaque LSAs are used to
advertise TE information <xref target="OPAQUE"/>. The LSA function
code is 10, the U bit is set, and the scope is set to 01 for area-scoping.
When the U bit is set to 1, an OSPFv3 router must flood the LSA at its
defined flooding scope even if it does not recognize the LS type <xref target="OSPFV3"/>.

<t>The Link State ID of an Intra-Area-TE LSA is an arbitrary value used to
maintain multiple Traffic Engineering LSAs. The LSA ID has no
topological significance.</t>
<t>The format of the TLVs within the body of an Intra-Area-TE LSA
is the same as the format used by the Traffic Engineering
Extensions to OSPF <xref target="TE"/>. The LSA payload consists of one or
more nested Type/Length/Value (TLV) triplets. The format of
each TLV is:
<figure title="TLV 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

| Value... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
</artwork>
</figure></t>
<t>The Length field defines the length of the value portion in octets
(thus a TLV with no value portion would have a length of zero). The
TLV is padded to four-octet alignment; padding is not included in
the length field (so a three octet value would have a length of
three, but the total size of the TLV would be eight octets). Nested
TLVs are also 32-bit aligned. For example, a one-byte value
would have the length field set to 1, and three octets of padding
would be added to the end of the value portion of the TLV.
Unrecognized types are ignored.</t>
<section title="Intra-Area-TE-LSA Payload">
<t>An Intra-Area-TE-LSA contains one top-level TLV. There are
two applicable top-level TLVs:
<list style="hanging">
<t>2 - Link TLV</t>
<t>3 - Router IPv6 Address TLV</t>
</list></t>
</section>
</section>
<section title="Router IPv6 Address TLV">
<t>The Router IPv6 Address TLV advertises a reachable IPv6 address.
This is a stable IPv6 address that is always reachable if there is
connectivity to the OSPFv3 router.</t>
<t>The Router IPv6 Address TLV has type 3, length 16, and a value
containing a 16 octet local IPv6 address. A Link-local address MUST
NOT be specified for this TLV. It MUST appear in exactly
one Traffic Engineering LSA originated by an OSPFv3 router supporting
the TE extensions. The Router IPv6 Address TLV is a top-level TLV as
defined in Traffic Engineering Extensions to OSPF <xref target="TE"/> and only one
top-level TLV may be contained in an LSA.

</artwork>
</figure></t>
</section>
<section title="Link TLV">
<t>The Link TLV describes a single link and consists of a set of
sub-TLVs <xref target="TE"/>. All of the sub-TLVs in <xref target="TE"/>
other than the Link ID sub-TLV
are applicable to OSPFv3. The Link ID sub-TLV can't be used in OSPFv3
since it is defined to use the OSPFv2 identification for the Designated Router (DR)
on multi-access networks. In OSPFv2, neighbors on point-to-point
networks and virtual links are identified by their Router IDs while neighbors
on broadcast, Non-Broadcast Multi-Access (NBMA), and Point-to-Multipoint links
are identified by their IPv4 interface addresses
(Refer to section 8.2 in <xref target="OSPFV2"/>). The IPv4 interface address is
not known to OSPFv3. In contrast to OSPFv2, OSPFv3
always identifies neighboring routers by their Router IDs (Refer to section 2.11
in <xref target="OSPFV3"/>).
</t>
<t>Three new sub-TLVs for the Link TLV are defined:
<list style="hanging">
<t>18 - Neighbor ID (8 octets)</t>
<t>19 - Local Interface IPv6 Address (16N octets, where N is the number
of IPv6 addresses)</t>
<t>20 - Remote Interface IPv6 Address (16N octets, where N is the number
of IPv6 addresses)</t>
</list></t>
<t>The Neighbor ID Sub-TLV is mandatory for OSPF3 Traffic Engineering
support. It MUST appear exactly once in a Link TLV. All other sub-TLVs
defined in this document SHOULD NOT occur more than once in a LINK TLV.
If a sub-TLV is specified more than once, instances subsequent to the
first are ignored.</t>
<section title="Link ID Sub-TLV">
<t>The Link ID sub-TLV is used in OSPFv2 to identify the other end of
the link. In OSPFv3, the Neighbor ID sub-TLV MUST be used for link
identification. In OSPFv3, The Link ID sub-TLV SHOULD NOT be sent and
MUST be ignored upon receipt.</t>
</section>
<section title="Neighbor ID Sub-TLV">
<t>In OSPFv2, the Link ID is used to identify the other end of a link.
In OSPFv3, the combination of Neighbor Interface ID and Neighbor
Router ID is used for neighbor link identification. Both are advertised
in the Neighbor ID Sub-TLV.</t>
<t>Neighbor Interface ID and Neighbor Router ID values are the same as
described in RFC 2740 <xref target="OSPFV3"/> A.4.3 Router-LSAs.

<section title="Local Interface IPv6 Address Sub-TLV">
<t>The Local Interface IPv6 Address sub-TLV specifies the IPv6
address(es) of the interface corresponding to this link. If there
are multiple local addresses assigned to the link then they MAY all be
listed in this sub-TLV. Link-local addresses MUST NOT be included
in this sub-TLV.

global addresses advertised.

each consuming 16 octets.

<section title="Remote Interface IPv6 Address Sub-TLV">
<t>The Remote Interface IPv6 Address sub-TLV advertises the IPv6
address(es) associated with the neighbor's interface. This Sub-TLV and
the Local Interface IPv6 address Sub-TLV are used to discern amongst
parallel links between OSPFv3 routers. If the Link Type is multi-access,
the Remote Interface IPv6 Address MAY be set to ::. Alternately,
an implementation MAY choose not to send this sub-TLV. Link-local
addresses MUST NOT be advertised in this sub-TLV. Neighbor addresses
advertised in Link-LSAs with a prefix length of 128 and the LA bit
set MAY be advertised.

<section title="Security Considerations">
<t>The function described in this document does not create any new
security issues for the OSPFv3 protocol. Security considerations for
the base OSPFv3 protocol <xref target="OSPFV3"/> and OSPFv2 Traffic Engineering
<xref target="TE"/> are applicable to OSPFv3 Traffic Engineering.</t>
</section>
<section anchor="Management" title="Management Considerations">
<t>The typical management interface for routers running the new extensions
to OSPF for intra-area Traffic Engineering is SNMP-based. The extra management objects
for configuration operations and statistics are defined in <xref target="OSPFV3-MIB"/> and an
implementation of the extensions defined in this document SHOULD provide for the
appropriate hooks or instrumentation that allow for the MIB objects to be implemented.</t>
</section>
<section title="IANA Considerations">
<t>The following IANA assignments are to be made from existing
registries:
<list style="numbers">
<t>The OSPFv3 LSA type function code 10 needs to be assigned to
the OSPFv3 Intra-Area-TE-LSA.</t>
<t>The Router IPv6 Address TLV type 3 needs to be assigned from the existing
registry for OSPF TE TLVs.</t>
<t>The Neighbor ID Sub-TLV (18), Local Interface IPv6 Address Sub-TLV (19),
and Remote Interface IPv6 Address Sub-TLV (20), need to be assigned from
the existing registry for OSPF TE Sub-TLVs.</t>
