Abstract

   This draft specifies the IS-IS extensions necessary to support multi-
   link IPv4 and IPv6 networks, as well as to provide true link state
   routing to any protocols running directly over layer 2.  While
   supporting this concept involves several pieces, this document only
   describes extensions to IS-IS.  We leave it to the systems using
   these IS-IS extensions to explain how the information carried in
   IS-IS is used.

Internet-Draft    Carrying Attached Addresses in IS-IS          May 2008


1.  Overview

   There are a number of systems (for example, [RBRIDGES]) which have
   proposed using layer 2 addresses carried in a link state routing
   protocol, specifically IS-IS [IS-IS] [RFC1195], to provide true layer
   2 routing in specific environments.  This draft proposes a set of
   TLVs and sub-TLVs to be added to [IS-IS] level 1 PDUs, and three new
   PDU types, to support these proposed systems.

   This draft does not propose new forwarding mechanisms using this
   additional information carried within IS-IS.  There is a short
   section included on two possible ways to build a shortest path first
   tree including this information, to illustrate how this information
   might be used.


2.  Proposed Enhancements to IS-IS

   This draft proposes additional TLVs, to carry unicast and multicast
   attached address information.  It also proposes additional sub-tlvs
   to carry information regarding building trees for Layer 2 networks.
   This draft proposes three new IS-IS PDUs, the Multicast Group
   (MGROUP) PDU, for carrying a list of attached or joined multicast
   groups.  The Multicast Group Complete Sequence Number (MGROUP-CSNP)
   PDU and the Multicast Group Partical Sequence Number (MGROUP-PSNP)
   PDU packets are also defined to be used with the new MGROUP-PDU to
   perform database exchange on the MGROUP PDU packets.

2.1.  The MAC-Reachability TLV

   The MAC-Reachability (MAC-RI) sub-TLV is IS-IS TLV type 139 and has
   the following format:
    0                   1                   2                   3

   The GIPV6-ADDR sub-TLV is carried within the GADDR TLV and MUST be
   carried in a standard Level 1 link state MGROUP PDU.

2.3.  Sub-TLVs for the Capability TLV

   The Capability TLV is an optional TLV [RFC 4971] that may be
   generated by the originating IS.  We introduce these additional sub-
   TLVs that are carried within it.  These sub-tlvs announce the
   capabilities of the router for the entire IS-IS routing domain.

2.3.1.  The Device ID sub-TLV

   The Device ID (DEVID) sub-TLV carries information about the identity
   of the advertising device, along with information about device
   priority.  The Device-Id sub-TLV MUST be carried within the
   CAPABILITY TLV in a level-1 non-pseudo-node LSP generated by the
   originating IS.
    0                   1                   2                   3

   | Device Id                                                     |
   +---------------------------------------------------------------+

   o  Type: TLV Type, set to 5 (DEVID).
   o  Length: Total number of octets contained in the TLV.
   o  Options: Set to 0.
   o  Device ID: Left padded device ID or alias.

2.3.2.  The Root Priority sub-TLV

   The Root Priority sub-TLV MUST be carried within the CAPABILITY TLV
   in a level-1 non-pseudo-node LSP generated by the originating IS.
   Each switch announces a broadcast root-priority and a multicast root-
   priority.  Once a node receives a new LSP, it runs an election
   algorithm, independently of the other nodes in the network, to
   determine the broadcast root.  The node that announced the lowest
   broadcast priority becomes the root of the broadcast tree.  If two
   devices advertise the same broadcast priority, the device with the
   lower system ID becomes the root of the broadcast tree.  The elected
   broadcast-root will decide on the multicast-roots based on the
   multicast priorities advertised.  The elected broadcast-root then
   decides on the number of multicast trees to be computed and their
   roots.  This announcement takes place in the roots identifier sub-
   TLV.

2.3.3.  The Root Identifier Sub-tlv

   The root identifier sub-tlv is populated by the root of the broadcast
   tree.  It is carried within the CAPABILITY TLV in a level-1 non-
   pseudo-node LSP and is given as:

   o  Multicast Root System Id: The Multicast Root System ID at which a
      multicast tree is rooted.  It is of length 6 bytes.
   A locally significant hash is used by edge devices to determine which
   multicast root (or set of multicast roots) is used to send traffic
   for a specific multicast group.

2.4.  The Multicast Group PDU

   The Multicast Group (MGROUP) PDU can be used to advertise a set of
   attached, or joined, multicast groups.  The MGROUP PDU is formatted
   identical to a Level 1 Link State PDU, as described in Section 9.3 of
   [IS-IS].  One field, PDU Type, is changed to [TBD], to signify this
   PDU is carrying multicast group information, rather than unicast
   reachability information.

Internet-Draft    Carrying Attached Addresses in IS-IS          May 2008


   The Multicast Group PDU carries TLVs indicating multicast groups.
   There are three sub-TLVs defined in this document, that MAY be
   present in this PDU, namely, GMAC-ADDR, GIP-ADDR, and GIPV6-ADDR
   TLVs.

   One or more TLVs MAY be carried in a single MGROUP PDU.  Future
   multicast address TLVs MAY be defined using other type codes, and be
   carried in an MGROUP PDU.

2.5.  The Multicast Group Partial Sequence Number PDU

   The Multicast Group Partial Sequence Number (MGROUP-PSNP) PDU is used
   to reliably flood the MGROUP PDU following the base protocol
   specifications.

2.6.  The Multicast Group Complete Sequence Number PDU

   The Multicast Group Complete Sequence Number PDU (MGROUP-CSNP) PDU is
   used to reliably flood the MGROUP PDU following the base protocol
   specifications.


3.  Considerations for Using L2 Information in IS-IS

   While this document does not specify the way in which addresses
   carried in these TLVs is used in IS-IS, two general areas of concern
   are considered in this section: building the SPF tree when using this
   information, and the election of designated intermediate systems
   (DIS) in an environment using this information.

3.1.  Building SPF Trees with Layer 2 Information

   Each IS which is part of a single broadcast domain from a layer 2
   perspective will build multiple SPF trees (SPT) for every IS that is
   announced by the IS deemed to be the broadcast root.

   We assume some mechanism for forwarding traffic to these attached
   addresses added to the SPT is provided for in the mechanism proposing
   the use of these extension TLVs.

3.2.  Designated Intermediate Routers

   A single DIS SHOULD be elected as described in [IS-IS] for each layer
   2 broadcast domain (VLAN) for which information is being carried in
   IS-IS.  This reduces the amount of work required to flood and
   maintain synchronized databases over the underlying media on which
   IS-IS is running and providing layer 2 forwarding information for.

5.  Security Considerations

   This document adds no additional security risks to IS-IS, nor does it
   provide any additional security for IS-IS.


6.  IANA Considerations

   This document creates three new PDU types, namely the MCAST PDU,
   MCAST-CSNP PDU, and the MCAST-PSNP PDU.  IANA SHOULD assign a new PDU
   type to the level-1 PDUs described above and reflect it in the PDU
   registry.

      MCAST-PDU        Level-1 PDU Type: 19
      MCAST-CSNP-PDU   Level-1 PDU Type: 22
      MCAST-PSNP-PDU   Level-1 PDU Type: 28

   This document requires the definition a set of new ISIS TLVs, the
   MAC-Reachability TLV (type 139), and the Group Address TLV (type 140)
   that needs to be reflected in the ISIS TLV code-point registry.

   This document creates a number of new sub-TLV in the numbering space
   for the Group Address TLV and the Capability TLV.  The TLV and sub-
   TLVs are given below:

                                             IIH  LSP  SNP MCAST MCAST
                                                            LSP   SNP
      MAC-RI TLV                              -    X    -    -     -

      GADDR-TLV                               -    -    -    X     -
      GADDR-TLV.GMAC-ADDR      sub-tlv  1     -    -    -    X     -
      GADDR-TLV.GMAC-IP        sub-tlv  2     -    -    -    X     -
      GADDR-TLV.GMAC-IPV6      sub-tlv  3     -    -    -    X     -

      CAPABILITY.Device ID     sub-tlv  5     -    X    -    X     -
      CAPABILITY.Root Priority sub-tlv  6     -    X    -    -     -
      CAPABILITY.Roots         sub-tlv  7     -    X    -    -     -
   IANA SHOULD manage the remaining space using the consensus method.
