1. Introduction
Source nodes can use the IPv6 Compressed Routing Header (CRH)
[I-D.bonica-6man-comp-rtg-hdr] to steer packets through a specified
path. This document defines IS-IS extensions that support the CRH.
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. Advertising The CRH Capability
The Router CAPABILITY TLV [RFC7981] MAY contain exactly one CRH sub-
TLV. The CRH sub-TLV indicates that the advertising node can process
the CRH.
The CRH sub-TLV MAY contain sub-sub-TLVs. No sub-sub-TLVs are
currently defined.

Figure 1: CRH Sub-TLV
Figure 1 depicts the CRH sub-TLV. The CRH sub-TLV contains the
following fields:
o Type: 8 bits. CRH (value TBD by IANA)
o Length: 8 bits. Length of TLV data excluding the TLV header.
MUST be equal to 2 plus the length of sub-sub-TLVs (if any).
o Max CRH Len: 8 bits. Maximum CRH length supported by the
advertising node, measured in 8-octet units, not including the
first 8 octets. See Note 1.
o Reserved: 8 bits. SHOULD be set to zero by sender. MUST be
ignored by receiver.
Note 1: According to [RFC8200], all IPv6 Routings header include a
"Hdr Ext Len" field. That field specifies the length of the Routing
header in 8-octet units, not including the first 8 octets. The same
unit of measure was chosen for the "Max CRH Len" field in the CRH
sub-TLV.
4. Advertising Supported Algorithms
CRH-capable nodes use the SR Algorithm TLV
[I-D.ietf-isis-segment-routing-extensions] to specify the algorithms
that they support.
5. Advertising Loosely Routed Segment Identifiers
The following TLVs MAY contain one or more Loosely Routed SID sub-
TLVs:
o TLV-236 (IPv6 IP Reachability) [RFC5308].
o TLV-237 (Multitopology IPv6 IP Reachability) [RFC5120].
The Loosely Routed SID sub-TLV is valid only when its parent TLV
specifies a prefix length of 128. In this case, it binds the SID
that it contains to the prefix (i.e., IPv6 address) that its parent
Kaneriya, et al. Expires November 15, 2019 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft ISIS-CRH May 2019
TLV contains. This information is used to construct the mapping
table described in [I-D.bonica-6man-comp-rtg-hdr].
When the parent TLV is propagated across level boundaries, the
Loosely Routed SID sub-TLV SHOULD be kept.

Figure 2: Loosely Routed SID sub-TLV
Figure 2 depicts the Loosely Routed SID sub-TLV. It contains the
following fields:
o Type: 8 bits. Loosely Routed SID sub-TLV (Value TBD by IANA)
o Length: 8 bits. Length of TLV data excluding the TLV header,
measured in bytes.
o Reserved: SHOULD be set to zero by the sender. MUST be ignored by
the receiver.
o Algorithm : 8 bits. The router may use various algorithms when
calculating reachability to other nodes. Algorithms identifiers
are defined in Section 3.2 of
[I-D.ietf-isis-segment-routing-extensions].
o SID - Variable length. Segment Identifier.
6. Advertising Strictly Routed Segment Identifiers
The following TLVs can contain one or more Strictly Routed SID sub-
TLVs:
o TLV-22 (Extended IS reachability) [RFC5305]
o TLV-222 (Multitopology IS) [RFC5120]
o TLV-23 (IS Neighbor Attribute) [RFC5311]
o TLV-223 (Multitopology IS Neighbor Attribute) [RFC5311]
o TLV-141 (inter-AS reachability information) [RFC5316]
Kaneriya, et al. Expires November 15, 2019 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft ISIS-CRH May 2019
The Strictly Routed SID sub-TLV is valid only when its parent TLV
also contains an IPv6 Neighbor Address sub-TLVs [RFC6119]. In this
case, the SID contained by the Strictly Routed SID sub-TLV is bound
to the IPv6 address contained by the IPv6 Neighbor Address sub-TLV.
This information is used to construct the mapping table described in
[I-D.bonica-6man-comp-rtg-hdr].

o Length: 8 bits. Length of TLV data excluding the TLV header,
measured in bytes.
o Flags: 8 bits. See below.
o Weight: 8 bits. The value represents the SID weight for the
purpose of load balancing. The use of the weight is defined in
[RFC8402].

Figure 4: Strictly Routed SID Sub-TLV Flags
Figure 4 depicts Strictly Routed SID Sub-TLV flags. They include the
following:
o B-Flag: Backup flag. If set, the SID is eligible for protection
as described in [RFC8402].
Kaneriya, et al. Expires November 15, 2019 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft ISIS-CRH May 2019
o S-Flag:. Set flag. When set, the S-Flag indicates that the SID
refers to a set of adjacencies (and therefore MAY be assigned to
other adjacencies as well).
o P-Flag: Persistent flag. When set, the P-Flag indicates that the
SID is persistently allocated, i.e., the SID value remains
consistent across router restart and/or interface flap.)
7. Advertising Strictly Routed Segment Identifiers Into LANs
In LAN subnetworks, the Designated Intermediate System (DIS) is
elected and originates the Pseudonode-LSP (PN-LSP) including all
neighbors of the DIS.
When the CRH is used, each router in the LAN MAY advertise its
Strictly Routed SIDs of each of its neighbors. Since, on LANs, each
router only advertises one adjacency to the DIS (and doesn't
advertise any other adjacency), each router advertises the set of
Strictly routed SIDs (for each of its neighbors) inside a newly
defined sub-TLV part of the TLV advertising the adjacency to the DIS
(e.g.: TLV-22).
The following TLVs can contain one or more LAN Strictly Routed SID
sub-TLVs:
o TLV-22 (Extended IS reachability) [RFC5305]
o TLV-222 (Multitopology IS) [RFC5120]
o TLV-23 (IS Neighbor Attribute) [RFC5311]
o TLV-223 (Multitopology IS Neighbor Attribute) [RFC5311]
The LAN Strictly Routed SID sub-TLV binds an IPv6 address to a SID.
The sub-TLV contains both the IPv6 address and the SID. This
information is used to construct the mapping table described in
[I-D.bonica-6man-comp-rtg-hdr].
