Extensions to OSPF for Advertising Optional Router Capabilities
draft-ietf-ospf-rfc4970bis-07.txt
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 including 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.
Lindem, et al. Expires April 17, 2016 [Page 2]
Internet-Draft OSPF Capability Extensions October 2015
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 2.5 includes an additional TLV for
functional capabilities. This is in contrast to the existing TLV
which is used to advertise capabilities for informational
purposes only.
3. The IANA allocation policy for the OSPFv3 LSA Function Code
registry and all the OSPF Router Information IANA registries has
been changed from "Standards Action" to "IETF Review"
[IANA-GUIDE].
4. Finally, references have been updated for drafts 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 Router Information (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 and Opaque ID specifies the LSA instance ID with the
first instance always having an Instance ID of 0.

Section 2.3
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 subsequence 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.

OSPFv3 Router Information LSA
The format of the TLVs within the body of an RI LSA is as defined in
Section 2.3
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:
Lindem, et al. Expires April 17, 2016 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft OSPF Capability Extensions October 2015
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... |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
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.
The format of the Router Informational Capabilities TLV is as
follows:
Lindem, et al. Expires April 17, 2016 [Page 6]

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 |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Informational Capabilities |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
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.
OSPF Router Informational Capabilities TLV
The Router Informational Capabilities TLV MAY be followed by optional
TLVs that further specify a capability.
2.5. Assigned OSPF Router Informational Capability Bits
The following informational capability bits are assigned:
Bit Capabilities
0 OSPF graceful restart capable [GRACE]
1 OSPF graceful restart helper [GRACE]
2 OSPF Stub Router support [STUB]
3 OSPF Traffic Engineering support [TE]
4 OSPF point-to-point over LAN [P2PLAN]
5 OSPF Experimental TE [EXP-TE]
6-31 Unassigned (IETF Review)
OSPF Router Informational Capabilities Bits

included herein.
Lindem, et al. Expires April 17, 2016 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft OSPF Capability Extensions October 2015
2.6. OSPF Router Functional Capabilities TLV
This specification also defines the Router Functional Capabilities
TLV for advertisement within 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
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Type | Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Functional Capabilities |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Type A 16-bit field set to IANA TBD (Suggested value 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.
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
Lindem, et al. Expires April 17, 2016 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft OSPF Capability Extensions October 2015
in this TLV MUST describe protocol behavior and address backwards
compatibility.
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, type 9 (link-scoped), type 10 (area-scoped),
or a 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 a TLV for advertising informational and
functional capability bits. 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
is asked to update 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
is requested to update the reference for that registry to point to
this RFC. References within that registry to [RFC4970] should be
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 Document Reference. The OSPFv3 LSA function code is
defined in section A.4.2.1 of [OSPFV3]. The OSPFv3 LSA function code
12 has been reserved for the OSPFv3 Router Information (RI) LSA. The
assignment policy has been updated for the range 16-255.

that have been shepherded through the IESG as AD- Sponsored or
IETF WG Documents [IANA-GUIDE].
o OSPFv3 LSA function codes in the range 8176-8181 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 8184-8191 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 is requested to update the reference for this registry to point
to this RFC. The definition and assignment policy has been updated
as follows. References within that registry to [RFC4970] should be
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
Document Reference. The value of 1 for the informational
capabilities TLV is defined herein. The value IANA TBD (suggested
value 2) for the Router Functional Capabilities TLV is also defined
herein.
