1.  Introduction

   When the nodes in a network are numbered or indexed from 1 to the
   number of the nodes, an efficient stateless multicast along the
   shortest paths to the egresses of a P2MP tree can be achieved using
   the node indices of the egresses.

   This document proposes OSPF and IS-IS extensions for distributing the
   node index configured on a node to support the best effort stateless
   multicast.  When a controller such as PCE as a controller has the
   node indexes, it can send the P2MP tree encoded in the node indexes
   to the ingress of the tree.

1.1.  Terminology

   LSA:  Link State Advertisement.

   OSPF:  Open Shortest Path First.

   LSP:  Link State Protocol data unit.

   IS-IS:  Intermediate System to Intermediate System.

2.  Extensions to OSPF

   This section describes extensions to OSPF for distributing the node
   index configured on a node.  The node index of a node MUST be unique
   in a network.  This is like the identifier (ID) of the node.

   [RFC7770] defines the Router Information (RI) Link state
   Advertisement (LSA).  The RI LSA is used to advertise Optional Router
   Information using Router Information LSA TLVs.  A new Router
   Information LSA TLV, called Node Index TLV, is defined to carry the
   Node Index configured on the node originating the RI LSA.  The Node
   Index TLV has the following 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
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |          Type (TBD1)          |           Length (2)          |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |            Node Index         |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

                          Figure 1: Node Index TLV

   Type:  TBD1.

   Length:  2.

   Node Index:  The node index configured on a node.

   This TLV is optional.  It is applicable to both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3.
   For advertising a node index, the area-scoped RI LSA including a Node
   Index TLV is used.

3.  Extension to IS-IS

   This section describes an extension to IS-IS for distributing the
   Node Index configured on a node.

   [RFC7981] defines the IS-IS Router CAPABILITY TLV to advertise Router
   Information.  The TLV includes multiple sub-TLVs.  A new Node Index
   sub-TLV to be included in the TLV, is defined to carry the Node Index
   configured on the node originating the TLV in its LSP.  This sub-TLV
   has the following 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
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
    |  Type (TBD2)  |   Length (2)  |           Node Index          |
    +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

                        Figure 2: Node Index sub-TLV

   Type:  TBD2.

   Length:  2.

   Node Index:  The Node Index configured on a node.

   This sub-TLV is optional.  For advertising a node index, the area-
   scoped LSP including a Node Index sub-TLV in an IS-IS Router
   CAPABILITY TLV is used.

4.  Security Considerations

   TBD.

5.  IANA Considerations

5.1.  OSPF RI TLVs Registry

   Under "OSPF Router Information (RI) TLVs registry" as defined in
   [RFC7770], IANA is requested to assign a new type as follows:

     +==============+===================+=====================+
     |  Value       |  Description      |    reference        |
     +==============+===================+=====================+
     |  TBD1        |  Node Index       |    This document    |
     +--------------+-------------------+---------------------+

5.2.  IS-IS Sub-TLVs for TLV 242 Registry

   Under "Sub-TLVs for TLV 242 (IS-IS Router CAPABILITY TLV) registry"
   as defined in [RFC7981], IANA is requested to assign a new sub-TLV as
   follows:
