Internet Draft   draft-ietf-isis-gmpls-extensions-04.txt  September 2001


. Abstract

   This document specifies encoding of extensions to the IS-IS routing
   protocol in support of Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching
   (GMPLS).  The description of the extensions is specified in [GMPLS-
   ROUTING].


. Summary for Sub-IP Area


3.1. Summary

   This document specifies encoding of extensions to the IS-IS routing
   protocol in support of Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching
   (GMPLS).  The description of the extensions is specified in [GMPLS-
   ROUTING].


3.2. Where does it fit in the Picture of the Sub-IP Work

   This work fits squarely in either CCAMP or IS-IS boxes.


3.3. Why is it Targeted at this WG

   This draft is targeted at either the CCAMP or IS-IS WGs, because this
   draft specifies the extensions to the IS-IS routing protocols in
   support of GMPLS, because GMPLS is within the scope of CCAMP WG, and
   because IS-IS is within the scope of the IS-IS WG.


3.4. Justification

   The WG should consider this document as it specifies the extensions
   to the IS-IS routing protocols in support of GMPLS.

. Introduction

   This document specifies extensions to the IS-IS routing protocol in
   support of carrying link state information for Generalized Multi-
   Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS). The set of required enhancements to
   IS-IS are outlined in [GMPLS-ROUTING].



. IS-IS Routing Enhancements

   In this section we define the enhancements to the TE properties of
   GMPLS TE links that can be announced in IS-IS TE LSAs.

   In this document, we enhance the sub-TLVs for the extended IS
   reachability TLV (see [ISIS-TE]) in support of GMPLS. Specifically,
   we add sub-TLVs for: Outgoing/Incoming Interface Identifier,
   Interface MTU, Link Protection Type, and Interface Switching
   Capability Descriptor.  This brings the list of sub-TLVs of the
   extended IS reachability TLV to:

      Sub-TLV Type      Length    Name
                 3           4    Administrative group (color)
                 4           4    Outgoing Interface Identifier
                 5           4    Incoming Interface Identifier
                 6           4    IPv4 interface address
                 7           2    Interface MTU
                 8           4    IPv4 neighbor address
                 9           4    Maximum link bandwidth
                10           4    Reservable link bandwidth
                11          32    Unreserved bandwidth
                18           3    TE Default metric
                20           2    Link Protection Type
                21    variable    Interface Switching Capability Descriptor
           250-254           -    Reserved for cisco specific extensions
               255           -    Reserved for future expansion


   We further add one new TLV to the TE LSAs.

          TLV Type      Length    Name
         138 (TBD)    variable    Shared Risk Link Group

   Finally, we add one more TLV to the Hello PDUs.

          TLV Type      Length    Name
          (TBD)           4       Interface Identifier

5.1. Outgoing Interface Identifier

   An Outgoing Interface Identifier is a sub-TLV of the extended IS
   reachability TLV with type 4, length 4 and value equal to the
   assigned identifier.


5.2. Incoming Interface Identifier

   An Incoming Interface Identifier is a sub-TLV of the extended IS
   reachability TLV with type 5, length 4 and value equal to L's

5.5. Interface Switching Capability Descriptor

   The Interface Switching Capability Descriptor is a sub-TLV (of type
   21) of the extended IS reachability TLV. The length is the length of
   value field in octets. The format of the value field is as shown
   below:

   The Switching Capability (Switching Cap) field contains one of the
   following values:




draft-ietf-isis-gmpls-extensions-04.txt                         [Page 5]

Internet Draft   draft-ietf-isis-gmpls-extensions-04.txt  September 2001


           1     Packet-Switch Capable-1 (PSC-1)
           2     Packet-Switch Capable-2 (PSC-2)
           3     Packet-Switch Capable-3 (PSC-3)
           4     Packet-Switch Capable-4 (PSC-4)
           51    Layer-2 Switch Capable  (L2SC)
           100   Time-Division-Multiplex Capable (TDM)
           150   Lambda-Switch Capable   (LSC)
           200   Fiber-Switch Capable    (FSC)


   The Encoding field contains one of the values specified in Section
   3.1.1 of [GMPLS-SIG].

   Maximum LSP Bandwidth is encoded as a list of eight 4 octet fields in
   the IEEE floating point format, with priority 0 first and priority 7
   last.

   The content of the Switching Capability specific information field
   depends on the value of the Switching Capability field.

   When the Switching Capability field is PSC-1, PSC-2, PSC-3, PSC-4, or
   L2SC, there is no specific information.

   When the Switching Capability field is TDM, the specific information
   includes Minimum LSP Bandwidth, which is is encoded in a 4 octets
   field in the IEEE floating point format.

   When the Switching Capability field is LSC, there is no specific
   information.


5.6. Shared Risk Link Group TLV

   The proposed SRLG (of type 138 TBD) contains a new data structure
   consisting of:

       7 octets of System ID and Pseudonode Number
       1 octet Flag
       4 octets of IPv4 interface address or 4 octets of an Outgoing
         Interface Identifier
       4 octets of IPv4 neighbor address or 4 octets of an Incoming
         Interface Identifier

   and a list of SRLG values, where each element in the list has 4
   octets. The length of this TLV is 16 + 4 * (number of SRLG values).
   The Least Significant Bit of the Flag octet indicates whether the
   interface is numbered (set to 1), or unnumbered (set to 0). All other
   bits are reserved and should be set to 0.

5.7. Interface Identifier for Unnumbered Interfaces

   The Interface Identifier TLV is carried as part of the Point-to-point
   ISIS Hello PDUs. The Type field of this TLV is TBD. The Length field
   of this TLV is set to 4. The Value field of this TLV contains 4
   octets that encode the Interface Identifier corresponding to the
   interface over which this PDU is to be transmitted.
