OSPF Routing Extension for Links with Variable Discrete Bandwidth
draft-ietf-ccamp-ospf-availability-extension-04.txt
Abstract
A network may contain links with variable discrete bandwidth, e.g.,
copper, radio, etc. The bandwidth of such links may change
discretely in reaction to changing external environment.
Availability is typically used for describing such links during
network planning. This document introduces an optional ISCD
Availability sub-TLV in OSPF routing protocol. This extension can be
used for route computation in a network that contains links with
variable discrete bandwidth.

1. Introduction
Some data communication technologies, e.g., microwave, and copper,
allow seamless change of maximum physical bandwidth through a set of
known discrete values. The parameter availability [G.827, F.1703,
P.530] is often used to describe the link capacity during network
