Abstract:
This document defines enhancements to the OSPF protocol to support a new
class of link state advertisements (LSAs) called Opaque LSAs. Opaque LSAs provide a generalized mechanism
to allow for the future extensibility of OSPF. Opaque LSAs consist of a standard LSA
header followed by application-specific information. The information field may be used directly by OSPF or
by other applications. Standard OSPF link-state database flooding mechanisms are used to distribute Opaque LSAs
to all or some limited portion of the OSPF topology.
