   The set up of a full mesh of Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS)
   Traffic Engineering (TE) Label Switched Path (LSP) among a set of
   Label Switch Routers (LSR) is common deployment scenario of MPLS
   Traffic Engineering either for bandwidth optimization, bandwidth
   guarantees or fast rerouting with MPLS Fast Reroute.  Such deployment
   may require the configuration of potentially a large number of TE
   LSPs (on the order of the square of the number LSRs).  This document
   specifies IGP routing extensions for ISIS and OSPF so as to provide
   an automatic discovery of the set of LSRs members of a mesh in order
   to automate the creation of such mesh.

1.  Terminology

   Terminology used in this document

   LSR: Label Switch Router.

   TE LSP: Traffic Engineering Label Switched Path.

   TE LSP head-end: head/source of the TE LSP.

   TE LSP tail-end: tail/destination of the TE LSP.

   IGP Area: OSPF area or IS-IS level.


2.  Introduction

   There are two well-known approaches in deploying MPLS Traffic
   Engineering:

   (1) The so-called "strategic" approach that consists of setting up a
   full mesh of TE LSPs between a set of LSRs,

   (2) The so-called "tactical" approach where a set of TE LSPs are
   provisioned on well identified "hot spots" in order to alleviate a
   congestion resulting for instance from an unexpected traffic growth
   in some parts of the network.

   The set up of a full mesh of TE LSPs among a set of LSRs is a common
   deployment scenario of MPLS Traffic Engineering either for bandwidth
   optimization, bandwidth guarantees or fast rerouting with MPLS Fast
   Reroute.  Setting up a full mesh of TE LSPs between N LSRs requires
   the configuration of a potentially large number of TE LSPs (O(N^2)).
   Furthermore, the addition of any new LSR in the mesh requires the
   configuration of N additional TE LSPs on the new LSR and one new TE
   LSP on every LSR of the existing mesh destined to this new LSR, which
   gives a total of 2*N TE LSPs to be configured.  Such operation is not
   only time consuming but also a risky operation (prone to
   misconfiguration) for Service Providers.  Hence, an automatic
   mechanism for setting up TE LSPs meshes is desirable and requires the
   ability to automatically discover the LSRs that belong to the mesh.
   This document specifies routing extensions so as to automatically
   discover the members of a mesh, also referred to as a "TE mesh-
   group".  Note that the mechanism(s) needed for the dynamic creation
   of TE LSPs is implementation specific and outside the scope of this
   document.

   Routing extensions have been defined in [I-D.ietf-ospf-cap] and

   [I-D.ietf-isis-caps] in order to advertise router capabilities.  This
   document specifies IGP (OSPF and IS-IS) TE Mesh Group TLVs allowing
   for the automatic discovery of a TE LSP mesh members, to be carried
   in the OSPF Router Information LSA [I-D.ietf-ospf-cap] and ISIS
   Router Capability TLV [I-D.ietf-isis-caps].  The routing extensions
   specified in this document provide the ability to signal multiple TE
   mesh groups.  An LSR may belong to one or more TE mesh-group(s).


3.  TE Mesh-Group

3.1.  Description

   A TE mesh-group is defined as a group of LSRs that are connected by a
   full mesh of TE LSPs.  Routing extensions are specified in this
   document allowing for dynamic discovery of the TE mesh-group members.
   Procedures are also specified for a member to join and leave a TE
   mesh-group.

3.2.  Required Information

   This document specifies a TE-MESH-GROUP TLV that indicates the set of
   TE mesh-group(s) an LSR belongs to.  For each TE mesh-group
   membership announced by an LSR, the TE-MESH-GROUP TLV advertises the
   following information:

   - A mesh-group number identifying the TE mesh-group the LSR belongs
   to.

   - A Tail-end address (used as TE LSP tail-end address by other LSRs
   belonging to the same mesh-group).

   - A Tail-end name: string used to ease the TE-LSP naming.


4.  TE-MESH-GROUP TLV formats

   Where
      Type: identifies the TLV type
      Length: length of the value field in octets

   The format of the OSPF TE-MESH-GROUP TLV is the same as the TLV
   format used by the Traffic Engineering Extensions to OSPF
   (see[RFC3630]).  The TLV is padded to four-octet alignment; padding
   is not included in the length field (so a three octet value would
   have a length of three, but the total size of the TLV would be eight
   octets).  Nested TLVs are also 32-bit aligned.  Unrecognized types
   are ignored.  All types between 32768 and 65535 are reserved for
   vendor-specific extensions.  All other undefined type codes are
   reserved for future assignment by IANA.  The TE-MESH-GROUP TLV is
   used to advertise the desire of an LSR to join/leave a given TE mesh-
   group.  No sub-TLV is currently defined for the TE-mesh-group TLV.

   - A Tail-end name: a variable length field used to facilitate the TE

5.  Elements of procedure

   The TE-MESH-GROUP TLV is carried within the OSPF Routing Information
   LSA or ISIS Router capability TLV.  As such, elements of procedure
   are inherited from those defined in [I-D.ietf-ospf-cap] and
   [I-D.ietf-isis-caps] for OSPF and ISIS respectively.  Specifically, a
   router MUST originate a new LSA/LSP whenever the content of this
   information changes, or whenever required by regular routing
   procedure (e.g. refresh).  The TE-MESH-GROUP TLV is OPTIONAL and must
   at most appear once in a OSPF Router Information LSA or ISIS Router
   Capability TLV.

5.1.  OSPF

   The TE-MESH-GROUP TLV is advertised within an OSPF Router Information
   opaque LSA (opaque type of 4, opaque ID of 0) as defined in
   [I-D.ietf-ospf-cap].

   A router MUST originate a new OSPF router information LSA whenever
   the content of the any of the advertised TLV changes or whenever
   required by the regular OSPF procedure (LSA refresh (every
   LSRefreshTime)).  If an LSR desires to join or leave a particular TE
   mesh group, it MUST originate a new OSPF Router Information LSA
   comprising the updated TE-MESH-GROUP TLV.  In the case of a join, a
   new entry will be added to the TE-MESH-GROUP TLV; conversely, if the
   LSR leaves a mesh-group the corresponding entry will be removed from
   the TE-MESH-GROUP TLV.  Note that both operations can be performed in
   the context of a single refresh.  An implementation SHOULD be able to
   detect any change to a previously received TE-MESH-GROUP TLV from a
   specific LSR.

   As defined in [RFC2370], an opaque LSA has a flooding scope
   determined by its LSA type:

   - link-local (type 9);

   - area-local (type 10);

   - entire OSPF routing domain (type 11).  In this case, the flooding
   scope is equivalent to the Type 5 LSA flooding scope.  A router may
   generate multiple OSPF Router Information LSAs with different
   flooding scopes.  The TE-MESH-GROUP TLV may be advertised within a
   type 10 or 11 Router Information LSA depending on the MPLS TE mesh

   group profile:

   - If the MPLS TE mesh-group is contained within a single area (all
   the LSRs of the mesh-group are contained within a single area), the
   TE-MESH-GROUP TLV MUST be generated within a Type 10 Router
   Information LSA;

   - If the MPLS TE mesh-group spans multiple OSPF areas, the TE mesh-
   group TLV MUST be generated within a Type 11 router information LSA.

   It is expected that the number of mesh-groups and consequently the
   number of TE-MESH-GROUP TLVs advertised within a Routing Information
   LSA will be very limited (to at most 10 or so).  Moreover, TE mesh-
   group membership is fairly static and should not change frequently.

5.2.  ISIS

   The TE-MESH-GROUP TLV is advertised within the IS-IS Router
   CAPABILITY TLV defined in [I-D.ietf-isis-caps].  An IS-IS router MUST
   originate a new IS-IS LSP whenever the content of the any of the
   advertised sub-TLV changes or whenever required by regular IS-IS
   procedure (LSP refresh).  If an LSR desires to join or leave a
   particular TE mesh group, it MUST originate a new LSP comprising the
   refreshed ISIS Router capability TLV comprising the updated TE-MESH-
   GROUP TLV.  In the case of a join, a new entry will be added to the
   TE-MESH-GROUP TLV; conversely, if the LSR leaves a mesh-group the
   corresponding entry will be deleted to the TE-MESH-GROUP TLV.  Note
   that both operations can be performed in the context of a single
   refresh.  An implementation SHOULD be able to detect any change to a
   previously received TE-MESH-GROUP TLV from a specific LSR.

   If the flooding scope of an MPLS Traffic Engineering capability is
   limited to an IS-IS level/area, the TLV MUST not be leaked across
   level/area and the S flag of the Router CAPABILITY TLV MUST be
   cleared.  Conversely, if the flooding scope of an MPLS Traffic
   Engineering capability is the entire routing domain, the TLV MUST be
   leaked across IS-IS levels/areas, and the S flag of the Router
   CAPABILITY TLV MUST be set.  In both cases the flooding rules
   specified in [I-D.ietf-isis-caps] apply.

   As specified in [I-D.ietf-isis-caps], a router may generate multiple
   IS-IS Router CAPABILITY TLVs within an IS-IS LSP with different
   flooding scopes.

   It is expected that the number of mesh groups and consequently the
   number of TE-MESH-GROUP TLV advertised within an ISIS Router
   Capability TLV will be very limited (to at most 10 or so).  Moreover,
   TE mesh-group membership is fairly static and should not change

   frequently.


6.  Backward compatibility

   The TE-MESH-GROUP TLVs defined in this document do not introduce any
   interoperability issue.  For OSPF, a router not supporting the TE-
   MESH-GROUP TLV SHOULD just silently ignore the TLV as specified in
   [RFC2370].  For IS-IS a router not supporting the TE-MESH-GROUP TLV
   SHOULD just silently ignore the TLV.


7.  IANA Considerations

   OSPF

   IANA will assign new OSPF TLV code-point for the newly defined TE-
   MESH-GROUP TLVs carried within the Router Information LSA.

   TE-MESH-GROUP TLV (IPv4) (suggested value=3)

   TE-MESH-GROUP TLV (IPv6) (suggested value=4)

   ISIS

   IANA will assign new ISIS TLV code-point for the newly defined TE-
   MESH-GROUP TLVs carried within the ISIS Router Capability TLV.

   TE-MESH-GROUP TLV (IPv4) (suggested value=3)

   TE-MESH-GROUP TLV (IPv6) (suggested value=4)


8.  Security Considerations

   No new security issues are raised in this document.
