Internet Draft   draft-ietf-isis-gmpls-extensions-09.txt      April 2002


2. 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].


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].


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.

4. 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].



5. 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:

      1. Link Local Identifier
      2. Remote Interface Identifier
      3. Link Protection Type
      4. Interface Switching Capability Descriptor

   The following defines the Type and Length of these sub-TLVs:

      Sub-TLV Type      Length    Name
                 4           4    Link Local Identifier
                 5           4    Link Remote Identifier
                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


5.1. Link Local Identifier

   A Link Local Interface Identifier is a sub-TLV of the extended IS
   reachability TLV with type 4, and length 4.

Internet Draft   draft-ietf-isis-gmpls-extensions-09.txt      April 2002


5.2. Link Remote Identifier

   A Link Remote Identifier is a sub-TLV of the extended IS reachability
   TLV with type 5, and length 4.


5.3. 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, the first of
   which is a bit vector describing the protection capabilities of the
   link. They are:

      0x01  Extra Traffic

      0x02  Unprotected

      0x04  Shared

      0x08  Dedicated 1:1

      0x10  Dedicated 1+1

      0x20 Enhanced

      0x40 Reserved

      0x80 Reserved


5.4. 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:


           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



draft-ietf-isis-gmpls-extensions-09.txt                         [Page 5]


Internet Draft   draft-ietf-isis-gmpls-extensions-09.txt      April 2002


   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 specific information includes Interface MTU and Minimum LSP
   Bandwidth. The Interface MTU is encoded as a 2 octets integer.  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.

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

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

   The Interface Switching Capability Descriptor sub-TLV may occur more
   than once within the extended IS reachability TLV.


5.5. 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 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.

Internet Draft   draft-ietf-isis-gmpls-extensions-09.txt      April 2002


5.6. 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].


6. 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.

   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.
