2.  Introduction

   OSPFv3 has a very flexible mechanism for adding new LS types.
   Unknown LS types are flooded properly based on the flooding scope
   bits in the LS type [OSPFV3].  This document proposes the addition of
   the Intra-Area-TE LSA to OSPFv3.

   For Traffic Engineering, this document uses "Traffic Engineering
   Extensions to OSPF" [TE] as a base for TLV definitions.  New TLVs and
   sub-TLVs are added to [TE] to extend TE capabilities to IPv6
   networks.  Some existing TLVs and sub-TLVs require clarification for
   OSPFv3 applicability.

   GMPLS [GMPLS] and the Diff-Serv MPLS Extensions [TE-DIFF] are based
   on [TE].  These functions can also be extended to OSPFv3 by utilizing
   the TLVs and sub-TLVs described in this document.

3.  Intra-Area-TE-LSA

   A new LS type is defined for the Intra-Area-TE LSA.  This is
   different from OSPFv2 Traffic Engineering [TE] where opaque LSAs are
   used to advertise TE information [OPAQUE].  The LSA function code is
   10, the U bit is set, and the scope is set to 01 for area-scoping.
   When the U bit is set to 1 an OSPFv3 router must flood the LSA at its
   defined flooding scope even if it does not recognize the LS type
   [OSPFV3].

   The Link State ID of an Intra-Area-TE LSA is an arbitrary value used
   to maintain multiple Traffic Engineering LSAs.  The LSA ID has no
   topological significance.

   The format of the TLV's within the body of a router information LSA
   is the same as the format used by the Traffic Engineering Extensions
   to OSPF [TE].  The LSA payload consists of one or more nested Type/
   Length/Value (TLV) triplets.  The format of each TLV is:

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


   The Length field defines the length of the value portion in octets
   (thus a TLV with no value portion would have a length of zero).  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.  For example, a one byte value would
   have the length field set to 1, and three octets of padding would be
   added to the end of the value portion of the TLV.  Unrecognized types
   are ignored.

4.  Router IPv6 Address TLV

   The Router IPv6 Address TLV advertises a reachable IPv6 address.
   This is a stable IPv6 address that is always reachable if there is
   connectivity to the OSPFv3 router.

   The Router IPv6 Address TLV has type 3, length 16, and a value
   containing a 16 octet local IPv6 address.  It MUST appear in exactly
   one Traffic Engineering LSA originated by an OSPFv3 router supporting
   the TE extensions.  The Router IPv6 Address TLV is a top-level TLV as
   defined in Traffic Engineering Extensions to OSPF [TE] and only one
   top-level TLV may be contained in an LSA.

5.  Link TLV

   The Link TLV describes a single link and consists of a set of
   sub-TLVs [TE].  All of the sub-TLVs in [TE] other than the Link ID
   sub-TLV are applicable to OSPFv3.  The Link ID sub-TLV can't be used
   in OSPFv3 due to the protocol differences between OSPFv2 and OSPFv3.

   Three new sub-TLVs for the Link TLV are defined:
      17 - Neighbor ID (8 octets)
      18 - Local Interface IPv6 Address (16N octets, where N is the
      number of IPv6 addresses)
      19 - Remote Interface IPv6 Address (16N octets, where N is the
      number of IPv6 addresses)

   The Neighbor ID Sub-TLV is mandatory for OSPF3 Traffic Engineering
   support.  It MUST be appear exactly once in a Link TLV.  All other
   sub-TLVs defined in document MAY occur at most once in a Link TLV.

5.1  Link ID Sub-TLV

   The Link ID sub-TLV is used in OSPFv2 to identify the other end of
   the link.  In OSPFv3, the Neighbor ID sub-TLV MUST be used for link
   identification.  In OSPFv3, The Link ID sub-TLV SHOULD NOT be sent
   and MUST be ignored upon receipt.

5.2  Neighbor ID Sub-TLV

   In OSPFv2, the Link ID is used to identify the other end of a link.
   In OSPFv3, the combination of Neighbor Interface ID and Neighbor
   Router ID are used for neighbor link identification.  Both are
   advertised in the Neighbor ID Sub-TLV.

   Neighbor Interface ID and Neighbor Router ID values are the same as
   described in RFC 2740 [OSPFV3] A.4.3 Router-LSAs.

5.3  Local Interface IPv6 Address Sub-TLV

   The Local Interface IPv6 Address sub-TLV specifies the IPv6
   address(es) of the interface corresponding to this link.  If there
   are multiple local addresses assigned to the link then they MAY all
   be listed in this sub-TLV.  Link-local address MUST NOT be included
   in this sub-TLV.

   and the Local Interface IPv6 address Sub-TLV are used to discern
   amongst parallel links between OSPFv3 routers.  If the Link Type is
   multi-access, the Remote Interface IPv6 Address MAY be set to ::.
   Alternately, an implementation MAY choose not to send this sub-TLV.
   Link-local addresses should not be contained in this sub-TLV.

      Type     A 16 bit field set to 19.
      Length   A 16 bit field that indicates the length of the value
               portion in octets. For this sub-TLV, it MUST be a
               multiple of 16 octets dependent on the number of IPv6
               addresses advertised.
      Value    A variable length remote interface IPv6 address list.

6.  Security Considerations

   The function described in this document does not create any new
   security issues for the OSPFv3 protocol.  Security considerations for
   the base OSPFv3 protocol are covered in [OSPFV3].

7.  IANA Considerations

   The following IANA assignments are to be made from existing
   registries:
   1.  The OSPFv3 LSA type function code 10 needs to be assigned to the
       OSPFv3 Intra-Area-TE-LSA.
   2.  The Router IPv6 Address TLV type 3 needs to be assigned from the
       existing registry for OSPF TE TLVs.
   3.  The Neighbor ID Sub-TLV (17), Local Interface IPv6 Address
       Sub-TLV (18), and Remote Interface IPv6 Address Sub-TLV (19),
       need to be assigned from the existing registry for OSPF TE
       Sub-TLVs.
