.  Introduction

   There are several situations where it is useful for the OSPFv3
   routers in one area to establish the correlations between the IPv6
   addresses and the capabilities of the other OSPFv3 routers in another
   area.  However, in the OSPFv3 Router Information (RI) Opaque LSA as
   defined in [RFC4970], which is used by OSPFv3 routers to announce
   their capabilities, only a 4-octet router ID is contained (in the
   Advertising Router field).  Therefore, this document propose a new
   TLV within the body of this RI LSA to carry an 16-octect router ID.
   This 16-octect router ID MUST be a routable IPv6 global address of
   the router originating the RI LSA.

1.1.  Requirements Language

   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 2119 [RFC2119].

.  Terminology

   This memo makes use of the terms defined in [RFC4970].

.  IPv6 Router ID TLV

   A new TLV within the body of the OSPFv3 RI Opaque LSA, called IPv6
   Router ID TLV is defined to carry a routable IPv6 global address of
   the router originating the RI LSA.  The Type of this TLV is TBD, the
   Length is set to 16, and the Value field contains an routable IPv6
   global address of the router originating the RI LSA.  This TLV is
   only applicable to OSPFv3.  The scope of the advertisement depends on
   the application but it is recommended that it SHOULD be domain-wide.
