2. Abstract

   This document specifies encoding of extensions to the IS-IS routing
   protocol in support of Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching.


3. 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].

5. 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].



6. 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 the following sub-TLVs:

      Sub-TLV Type      Length    Name
                 4           4    Link Local/Remote Identifiers
                20           2    Link Protection Type
                21    variable    Interface Switching Capability Descriptor

   We further add one new TLV to the TE LSAs.

          TLV Type      Length     Name
            138        variable    Shared Risk Link Group


6.1. Link Local/Remote Identifiers

   A Link Local Interface Identifiers is a sub-TLV of the extended IS
   reachability TLV. The type of this sub-TLV is 4, and length is eight
   octets. The value field of this sub-TLV contains four octets of Link
   Local Identifier followed by four octets of Link Remote Idenfier (see
   Section "Support for unnumbered links" of [GMPLS-ROUTING]).  If the
   Link Remote Identifier is unknown, it is set to 0.

       0                   1                   2                   3

6.2. Link Protection Type

   The Link  Protection Type is is a sub-TLV (of type 20) of the
   extended IS reachability TLV, with length two octets.

       0                   1
       0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |Protection Cap |    Reserved   |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   The first octet is a bit vector describing the protection
   capabilities of the link (see Section "Link Protection Type" of
   [GMPLS-ROUTING]).  They are:

      0x01  Extra Traffic

      0x02  Unprotected

      0x04  Shared

      0x08  Dedicated 1:1

      0x10  Dedicated 1+1

      0x20  Enhanced

      0x40  Reserved

      0x80  Reserved

   The second octet SHOULD be set to zero by the sender, and SHOULD be
   ignored by the receiver.

   The Link Protection Type sub-TLV may occur at most once within the
   extended IS reachability TLV.


6.3. 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:

       0                   1                   2                   3

      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

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


           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 units are bytes (not bits!) per second.

   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, or PSC-4,
   the Switching Capability specific information field includes Minimum

   LSP Bandwidth and Interface MTU.

       0                   1                   2                   3

      |           Interface MTU       |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   The Minimum LSP Bandwidth is is encoded in a 4 octets field in the
   IEEE floating point format. The units are bytes (not bits!) per
   second. The Interface MTU is encoded as a 2 octets integer.

   When the Switching Capability field is L2SC, there is no Switching
   Capability specific information field present.

   When the Switching Capability field is TDM, the Switching Capability
   specific information field includes Minimum LSP Bandwidth and an
   indication whether the interface supports Standard or Arbitrary
   SONET/SDH.

       0                   1                   2                   3

      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |   Indication  |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   The Minimum LSP Bandwidth is encoded in a 4 octets field in the IEEE
   floating point format. The units are bytes (not bits!) per second.
   The indication whether the interface supports Standard or Arbitrary
   SONET/SDH is encoded as 1 octet. The value of this octet is 0 if the
   interface supports Standard SONET/SDH, and 1 if the interface
   supports Arbitrary SONET/SDH.

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

   To support interfaces that have more than one Interface Switching
   Capability Descriptor (see Section "Interface Switching Capability
   Descriptor" of [GMPLS-ROUTING]) the Interface Switching Capability
   Descriptor sub-TLV may occur more than once within the extended IS
   reachability TLV.

6.4. Shared Risk Link Group TLV

   The SRLG TLV (of type 138 TBD) contains a 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 a Link Local
         Identifier
       4 octets of IPv4 neighbor address or 4 octets of a Link Remote
         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.

   The neighbor is identified by its System Id (6-octets), plus one
   octet to indicate the pseudonode number if the neighbor is on a LAN
   interface.

      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   This TLV carries the Shared Risk Link Group information (see Section
   "Shared Risk Link Group Information" of [GMPLS-ROUTING]).


6.5. Link Identifier for Unnumbered Interfaces

   Link Identifies are exchanged in the Extended Local Circuit ID field
   of the "Point-to-Point Three-Way Adjacency" IS-IS Option type
   [ISIS-3way].

Internet Draft   draft-ietf-isis-gmpls-extensions-10.txt      April 2002


7. Implications on Graceful Restart

   The restarting node should follow the ISIS restart procedures [ISIS-
   RESTART], and the RSVP-TE restart procedures [GMPLS-RSVP].

   When the restarting node is going to originate its TE LSAs, these
   LSAs should be originated with 0 unreserved bandwidth, and if the
   Link has LSC or FSC as its Switching Capability then also with 0 as
   Max LSP Bandwidth, until the node is able to determine the amount of
   unreserved resources taking into account the resources reserved by
   the already established LSPs that have been preserved across the
   restart. Once the restarting node determines the amount of unreserved
   resources, taking into account the resources reserved by the already
   established LSPs that have been preserved across the restart, the
   node should advertise these resources in its TE LSAs.

   In addition in the case of a planned restart prior to restarting, the
   restarting node SHOULD originate the TE LSAs with 0 as unreserved
   bandwidth, and if the Link has LSC or FSC as its Switching Capability
   then also with 0 as Max LSP Bandwidth. This would discourage new LSP
   establishment through the restarting router.

   Neighbors of the restarting node should continue advertise the actual
   unreserved bandwidth on the TE links from the neighbors to that node.

   Regular graceful restart should not be aborted if a TE LSA or TE
   topology changes. TE graceful restart need not be aborted if a TE LSA
   or TE topology changes.



8. Security Considerations

   The extensions proposed in this document does not raise any new
   security concerns.
