Purge Originator Identification for OSPF
draft-li-lsr-ospf-purge-originator-01
Abstract
In RFC6232(Purge Originator Identification TLV for IS-IS), ISIS POI
(Purge Originator Identification) TLV is added to the purge LSP to
record the system ID of the IS generating it.
At present, OSPF purge does not contain any information
identifying the Router that generates the purge. This makes it
difficult to locate the source router.
While OSPF protocol is difficult to add additional content to the
purge LSA, this document proposes generating a POI LSA together with
a purge LSA to record the router ID of the router generating the
purge.
To address this issue, this document defines a POI LSA to record the
router ID of the OSPF generating it.

Internet-Draft OSPF Purge Originator Identification November 2023
1. Introduction
OSPF protocol floods purges throughout an area, regardless of
which router initiates the purge. At present, the OSPF protocol has
no mechanism to locate the originator of a purge. This makes it
difficult for network operators to determine the origin of the
purge. RFC6232 introduces Purge Originator Identification TLV for
IS-IS to record the system ID of the IS generating a purge LSP. For
OSPF protocol, the same mechanism is required.
While OSPF protocol is difficult to add additional content to the
purge LSA, this document proposes generating a Purge Originator
Identification (POI) LSA together with a purge LSA to record the
router ID of the router generating the purge. The format of the POI
LSA is defined for OSPF and OSPFv3 respectively in section 3.2 and
3.3.
2. Requirements Language
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.
3. Solution
An OSPF router SHOULD generate a POI LSA to record its router ID
when it generates a purge. POI LSA is used by other routers or
network administrators to determine the originator of the purge LSA.
POI LSA SHOULD only be sent to neighbors that support POI
capability. Routers that do not support POI capability SHOULD ignore
the POI LSA they receive as unknown LSA. POI capability is defined
in section 3.1. The format of POI LSA for OSPF and OSPFv3 is defined
in section 3.2 and 3.3 respectively.
When a purge LSA is received from a neighbor that does not support
POI LSA, the receiver with POI capability SHOULD generate a POI LSA
for it.

The POI LSAs are encapsulated in Link State Update Packets and sent
out to neighbors with POI capability.
3.1 POI Capability
OSPF router need to exchange POI capability with neighbors. With
this Originator Identification Solution, a new bit, called PS (purge
signal), is introduced into the Extended Options (EO) TLV in the
Link-Local Signaling (LLS) block (see [RFC5613]). see Figure 2
below.

Internet-Draft OSPF Purge Originator Identification November 2023
Description: Purge Signal(PS-bit)
Routers capable of performing POI LSAs synchronization should always
set the PS-bit in their Hello packets. When Receive Hello Packets
with PS-Bit Set, the router should record that the neighbor has POI
ability, Otherwise, the router should record that the neighbor has
no POI ability. It is important to mention that operation of the
OSPF neighbor FSM is not changed by this document.
3.2 POI LSA for OSPF
The POI LSA for OSPF is used by OSPF router to advertise the
originator of a corresponding purge LSA.
The flood scope of POI LSA should be consistent with the purge LSA.
If the purge LSA is link-local, area-local, or entire domain, then
scope of the POI LSA should be link-local, area-local or entire
domain. A POI LSA must not be generated for another POI LSA.
This document defines POI LSA for OSPF.
The format of OSPF POI LSA is shown below:
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

The format of the TLVs within the body of the POI LSA is the same as
the format used by [RFC3630]. The variable TLV section consist of
one or more nested TLV tuples. Nested TLV are also referred to as
Sub-TLVs. The format of each TLV is shown below:

4. Deployment Considerations
If the router that generate the purge LSA does not support this
feature, then the nearest router that support this feature should
generate the POI LSA instead. And the POI LSA should not be send to
routers that does not support this feature.
So the routers should exchange and record the capability when
establishing neighbors.
When receive a purge from a neighbor that does not support the POI
LSA, then it SHOULD generates a POI LSA with both its own router ID
and the router ID of the neighbor from which it received the purge.
This allows routers receiving purges to log the router ID of the
originator, or the upstream source of the purge. This makes it much
easier for the network administrator to locate the origin of the
purge and thus the cause of the purge. Similarly, this POI LSA is
helpful to developers in lab situations. The POI LSA is then flood
to all neighbors that support this feature.
5. Security Considerations
