1. Introduction
When the links originating at each node in a network are numbered
from 1 to the number of the such links for that node, an efficient
stateless multicast along an explicit P2MP path can be achieved
through using the link numbers of the links on the path to represent
the path.
This document proposes OSPF and IS-IS extensions for distributing the
link numbers assigned to the links originating at a node which will
support such multicast. After a controller such as PCE as a
controller has the link numbers of the links originating at every
node, for an explicit P2MP path, the controller can send the ingress
the path represented by the link numbers of the links on the path.

1.1. Terminology
LSA: Link State Advertisement.
OSPF: Open Shortest Path First.
LSP: Link State Protocol data unit.
IS-IS: Intermediate System to Intermediate System.
MT: Multi-Topology.
TE: Traffic Engineering.
2. Extensions to OSPFv2
This section describes extensions to OSPFv2 for distributing the link
numbers assigned to the links of a node.
[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
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

Link Type, Link ID and Link Data: They are defined in Section A.4.2
of [RFC2328].

reception.
Under the OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV for a link, a Link Number Sub-TLV
is defined for distributing the link number assigned to the link by
the router originating the LSA. A Link Number Sub-TLV is included in
the Link TLV for a link of Link Type Point-to-Point, Broadcast (i.e.,
link to LAN or Transit Network), or stub (i.e., link to stub
network). The Link Number Sub-TLV has the following format:
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

Length: 2.
Link Number: A 2-octet field carrying the link number assigned to
the link 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), 2 (i.e., connection to a Transit
Network or LAN), or 3 (i.e., connection to a stub network).
3. Extensions to OSPFv3
This section describes extensions to OSPFv3 for distributing the link
numbers assigned to the links of a node.
[RFC8362] defines the OSPFv3 Extended Router LSA, which may include
multiple Router-Link TLVs.

Under the Router-Link TLV for a link, a Link Number Sub-TLV is
defined. This Sub-TLV has the same format as the Link Number Sub-TLV
defined above for the OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV.

The Router-Link TLV for a link may include a Link Number Sub-TLV for
distributing the link number assigned to the link by the router
originating the LSA.
4. Extensions to IS-IS
This section describes extensions to IS-IS for distributing the link
numbers assigned to the links of a node.
The Extended IS Reachability TLV (Type 22) defined in [RFC5305] may
contain Sub-TLVs (such as those for TE (Traffic Engineering)) that
apply to a link/interface to a neighbor. To encode multiple links or
interfaces to neighbors, the structure inside TLV is repeated.
The Multi-Topology (MT) Intermediate Systems TLV (Type 222) defined
in [RFC5120] may contain Sub-TLVs (such as those for TE) that apply
to a link/interface. It is aligned with the Extended IS Reachability
TLV (Type 22) but has an additional two bytes in front at the
beginning of the TLV for MT-ID.
A Link Number Sub-TLV is defined and used in the Extended IS
Reachability TLV (Type 22) and/or MT Intermediate Systems TLV (Type
222) to advertise the link numbers assigned to the links of a node.
The Link Number Sub-TLV has the following format:
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

6. IANA Considerations
Under "OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV Sub-TLVs registry" as defined in
[RFC7684], IANA is requested to assign a registry value for Link
Number Sub-TLV as follows:
+==============+======================+=====================+
| Value | Description | reference |
+==============+======================+=====================+
| TBD1 | Link Number | This document |
+--------------+----------------------+---------------------+
Under "OSPFv3 Extended-LSA Sub-TLVs registry" as defined in
[RFC8362], IANA is requested to assign a registry value for Link
Number Sub-TLV as follows:
+==============+======================+=====================+
| Value | Description | reference |
+==============+======================+=====================+
| TBD2 | Link Number | This document |
+--------------+----------------------+---------------------+
Under "Sub-TLVs for TLVs 22, 23, 25, 141, 222, and 223" for IS-IS TLV
Codepoints, IANA is requested to assign a codepoint for Link Number
Sub-TLV as follows:
+============+===================+==+==+==+===+===+===+=============+
|Sub-TLV Type|Sub-TLV Name |22|23|25|141|222|223|reference |
