OSPFv3 Extensions for BIER-TE

Abstract

This document describes OSPFv3 extensions for distributing the BitPositions configured on a Bit-Forwarding Router (BFR) in a "Bit Index Explicit Replication Traffic Engineering" (BIER-TE) domain.

Requirements Language

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

Status of This Memo

This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.

Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-Drafts is at https://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.

Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."

This Internet-Draft will expire on 29 September 2024.

1. Introduction

[RFC9262] introduces Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) Traffic/Tree Engineering (BIER-TE). It is an architecture for per-packet stateless explicit point to multipoint (P2MP) multicast path/tree. There are three types of BitPositions (BPs) in a BIER-TE domain: link BitPosition (BP), routed BP and localdecap BP. A link BP is a BP configured on a link from Bit-Forwarding Router (BFR) X to BFR Y for a forward connected adjacency from X to Y. A routed BP is a BP configured on BFR X for a forward routed adjacency from X to a remote BFR Z not directly connected to X. A localdecap BP is a BP configured on a BFR.

[I-D.ietf-bier-ospfv3-extensions] describes OSPFv3 Extensions for distributing the BFR identifier (BFR-id) configured on a BFR. This document specifies OSPFv3 extensions for distributing the BitPositions configured a BFR in a BIER-TE domain. The BitPositions distributed may be used by a BFR as a Point of Local Repair (PLR) for Fast-ReRoute (FRR).

2. Extensions to OSPFv3

This section describes protocol extensions to OSPFv3 for distributing the BitPositions configured on a BFR in a BIER-TE domain.

[RFC8362] defines OSPFv3 Extended Router LSA, which may include multiple Router-Link TLVs. A Router-Link TLV defines a single router link. A Router-Link TLV may include a Link-BP Sub-TLV below for distributing a link BP.

Type:
TBD1 is to be assigned by IANA.
Length:
Variable.
sub-domain-id, MT-ID, BAR and IPA:
They are defined in Section 2.1 of [I-D.ietf-bier-ospfv3-extensions].
BitPosition:
A 2-octet field encoding the BitPosition locally configured on the link/interface when the Link Type of the link in the Router-Link TLV containing this Sub-TLV is 1 (i.e., Point-to-Point connection to another router) or 2 (i.e., connection to Transit Network or say LAN).
DrEndBitPosition:
A 2-octet field encoding the BitPosition of the connection on the designated router (DR) end. This field exists when the Link Type in the Router-Link TLV containing this Sub-TLV is 2 (i.e., Transit Network or LAN). For the other value of the Link Type, this field MUST NOT exist. The DrEndBitPosition may be configured on the link/interface to a transit network (i.e., broadcast link or say LAN) as described in [I-D.chen-bier-te-lan].

2.2. Routed and Localdecap BitPositions

The Node BPs TLV, Routed BP Sub-TLV and Localdecap BP Sub-TLV defined in [I-D.ietf-bier-te-ospf] are reused in OSPVv3 for distributing the routed BitPositions and the localdecap BitPosition configured on a BFR.

3. Security Considerations

Protocol extensions defined in this document do not affect the OSPF security other than those as discussed in the Security Considerations section of [RFC8362].

4. IANA Considerations

Under "OSPFv3 Extended-LSA Sub-TLVs" registry as defined in [RFC8362], IANA is requested to assign a new registry value for Link-BP Sub-TLV as follows:

  +==============+===================+=====================+
  |  Value       |  Description      |    reference        |
  +==============+===================+=====================+
  |  TBD1 (30)   |  Link-BP          |    This document    |
  +--------------+-------------------+---------------------+
