                   OSPFv3 CodePoint for MPLS LSP Ping
              draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-ping-ospfv3-codepoint-02

Abstract

   IANA has created "Protocol in the Segment IS Sub-TLV" registry and
   "Protocol in the Label Stack Sub-TLV of the Downstream Detailed
   Mapping TLV" under the "Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label
   Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters" registry.  RFC8287 defines the
   code point for different Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP).

   This document proposes the code point to be used in the Segment ID
   Sub-TLV and Downstream Detailed Mapping TLV when the IGP protocol is
   OSPFv3.  This document also clarifies that the existing codepoints of
   these two TLVs called "OSPF" shall only be used for OSPFv2.

1.  Introduction

   IANA has created "Protocol in the Segment IS Sub-TLV" registry and
   "Protocol in the Label Stack Sub-TLV of the Downstream Detailed
   Mapping TLV" under the "Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label
   Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters" registry [IANA-MPLS-LSP-PING].
   [RFC8287] defines the code point for different Interior Gateway
   Protocol (IGP).

   [RFC5340] describes OSPF version 3 (OSPFv3) protocol to support IPv6.
   [RFC5838] describes the mechanism to support multiple address
   families (AFs) in OSPFv3.  Accordingly OSPFv3 may be used to
   advertise IPv6 and IPv4 prefixes.

   This document proposes the code point to be used in the Segment ID
   Sub-TLV (Type 34, 35 and 36) and Downstream Detailed Mapping (DDMAP)
   TLV when the IGP protocol is OSPFv3.

2.  Terminology

   This document uses the terminologies defined in [RFC8402], [RFC8029],
   [RFC8287] and so the readers are expected to be familiar with the
   same.

3.  Requirements notation

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
   14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

4.  OSPFv3 protocol in Segment ID Sub-TLVs

   When the protocol field of the Segment ID Sub-TLV Type 34, 35 and 36
   is set to TBD1, the responder MUST perform the FEC validation using
   OSPFv3 as the IGP protocol.

   The initiator MUST NOT set the protocol field of the Segment ID Sub-
   TLV Type 35 as OSPFv2.

   When the protocol field in the received Segment ID Sub-TLV Type 35 is
   OSPFv2, the responder MAY treat the protocol value as 0 and process
   the as defined in Section 7.4 of [RFC8287].

5.  OSPFv3 protocol in Downstream Detailed Mapping TLV

   The protocol field of the Downstream Detailed Mapping (DDMAP) TLV in
   an echo reply is set to TBD2 when OSPFv3 is used to distribute the
   label carried in the Downstream Label field.

6.  OSPFv2 Protocol in Segment ID and DDMAP Sub-TLVs

   Section 5 of [RFC8287] defines the code point for OSPF to be used in
   the Protocol field of the Segment ID Sub-TLV.  Section 6 of [RFC8287]
   defines the code point for OSPF to be used in the Protocol field of
   the DDMAP TLV.

   This document clarifies that the above codepoints will be used only
   for OSPFv2.

7.  IANA Considerations

7.1.  Protocol in the Segment ID sub-TLV

   IANA is requested to assign one new code point of OSPFv3 from
   "Protocol in the Segment ID sub-TLV" registry under the "Multi-
   Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping
   Parameters" registry:

Internet-Draft     OSPFv3 CodePoint for MPLS LSP Ping           May 2020

     Value        Meaning     Reference
   ----------     -------    ------------
     TBD1          OSPFv3     This document
      1            OSPF        RFC8287

   IANA is also requested to add a clarifying note for the existing
   codepoint 1 (OSPF) as - "To be used for OSPFv2 only".

7.2.  Protocol in Label Stack Sub-TLV of Downstream Detailed Mapping TLV

   IANA is requested to assign one new code point for OSPFv3 from
   "Protocol in Label Stack Sub-TLV of Downstream Detailed Mapping TLV"
   registry under the "Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label
   Switched Paths (LSPs) Ping Parameters" registry:

     Value        Meaning      Reference
   ----------    ---------    ------------
     TBD2         OSPFv3       This document
      5           OSPF          RFC8287

   IANA is also requested to add a clarifying note for the existing
   codepoint 5 (OSPF) as - "To be used for OSPFv2 only".

8.  Security Considerations

   This document updates [RFC8287] and does not introduce any additional
   security considerations.

9.  Acknowledgement

   Andersson, Andrew Molotchko and Deborah Brungard for their review and
