OSPF Traffic Engineering (OSPF-TE) Link Availability Extension
for Links with Variable Discrete Bandwidth
Abstract
A network may contain links with variable discrete bandwidth, e.g.,
microwave and copper. The bandwidth of such links may change
discretely in response to a changing external environment. The word
"availability" is typically used to describe such links during
network planning. This document defines a new type of Generalized
Switching Capability-Specific Information (SCSI) TLV to extend the
Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Open Shortest Path
First (OSPF) routing protocol. The extension can be used for route
computation in a network that contains links with variable discrete
bandwidth. Note that this document only covers the mechanisms by
which the availability information is distributed. The mechanisms by
which availability information of a link is determined and the use of
the distributed information for route computation are outside the
scope of this document. It is intended that technology-specific
documents will reference this document to describe specific uses.

1. Introduction
Some data-plane technologies, e.g., microwave and copper, allow
seamless changes of maximum physical bandwidth through a set of known
discrete values. The parameter "availability", as described in
[G.827], [F.1703], and [P.530], is often used to describe the link
capacity. The availability is a time scale, representing a
proportion of the operating time that the requested bandwidth is
ensured. To set up a Label Switched Path (LSP) across these links,
