1.  Introduction

   [RFC9262] introduces Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) Traffic/
   Tree Engineering (BIER-TE).  It is an architecture for per-packet
   stateless explicit point to multipoint (P2MP) multicast path/tree.  A
   link in a BIER-TE domain has its BitPositions.  For a link between
   two nodes X and Y, there are two BitPositions for two forward
   connected adjacencies.  These two adjacency BitPositions could be
   configured on nodes X and Y respectively.  The BitPosition configured
   on X is the forward connected adjacency of Y.  The BitPosition
   configured on Y is the forward connected adjacency of X.

   This document proposes OSPF extensions for distributing BitPositions
   configured on the links in "Bit Index Explicit Replication Traffic
   Engineering" (BIER-TE) domain.

2.  Extensions to OSPFv2

   This section describes protocol extensions to OSPFv2 for distributing
   BIER-TE information such as the BitPositions configured on the links
   in a BIER-TE domain.

   [RFC7684] defines the OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV to advertise the
   information about a link.  Multiple Link TLVs for the links of a
   router are included in the OSPFv2 Extended Link Opaque LSA of the
   router.  The OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV has the following format:

       0                   1                   2                   3

         of [RFC2328].

   Reserved:  MUST be set to 0 on transmission and MUST be ignored on
         reception.

   Under the OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV for a link, a Sub-TLV, called
   BIER-TE Sub-TLV, is defined for distributing BIER-TE information
   about the link.  A BIER-TE Sub-TLV is included in the Link TLV for a
   link of Link Type Point-to-Point or Broadcast (or say LAN or Transit
   Network).  The BIER-TE Sub-TLV has the following format:

       0                   1                   2                   3

                         Figure 2: BIER-TE Sub-TLV

   Type:  TBD1 is to be assigned by IANA.

   Length:  Variable.

   sub-domain-id:  Unique value identifying a BIER-TE sub-domain.

   MT-ID:  Multi-Topology ID identifying the topology that is associated
         with the BIER-TE sub-domain.

   BAR:  Single-octet BIER Algorithm used to calculate underlay paths to
         reach other BFRs.  Values are allocated from the "BIER
         Algorithm" registry defined in [RFC8401].

   IPA:  Single-octet IGP Algorithm used to either modify, enhance, or
         replace the calculation of underlay paths to reach other BFRs
         as defined by the BAR value.  Values are defined in the "IGP
         Algorithm Types" registry.

   BitPosition:  A 2-octet field encoding the BitPosition locally
         configured on the link/interface when the Link Type of the link
         in the OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV containing this Sub-TLV is 1
         (i.e., Point-to-Point connection to another router) or 2 (i.e.,
         connection to Transit Network or say LAN).

Internet-Draft              OSPF for BIER-TE                  March 2023

   DrEndBitPosition:  A 2-octet field encoding the BitPosition of the
         connection on the designated router (DR) end.  This field is
         valid when the Link Type in the OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV
         containing this Sub-TLV is 2 (i.e., Transit Network or LAN).
         For the other value of the Link Type, this field MUST be
         ignored.  The DrEndBitPosition may be configured on the link/
         interface to a transit network (i.e., broadcast link or say
         LAN) as described in [I-D.chen-bier-te-lan].

3.  Security Considerations

   Protocol extensions defined in this document do not affect the OSPF
   security other than those as discussed in the Security Considerations
   section of [RFC7684].

4.  IANA Considerations

   Under "OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV Sub-TLVs registry" as defined in
   [RFC7684], IANA is requested to assign a new registry value for BIER-
   TE Sub-TLV as follows:

     +==============+===================+=====================+
     |  Value       |  Description      |    reference        |
     +==============+===================+=====================+
     |  TBD1 (25)   |  BIER-TE          |    This document    |
     +--------------+-------------------+---------------------+
