IS-IS Extensions for Traffic Engineering
Status of This Memo
This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
Abstract
This document describes extensions to the Intermediate System to
Intermediate System (IS-IS) protocol to support Traffic Engineering
(TE). This document extends the IS-IS protocol by specifying new
information that an Intermediate System (router) can place in Link
State Protocol Data Units (LSP). This information describes
additional details regarding the state of the network that are useful
for traffic engineering computations.

1. Introduction
The IS-IS protocol is specified in ISO 10589 [ISO-10589], with
extensions for supporting IPv4 specified in [RFC1195]. Each
Intermediate System (IS) (router) advertises one or more IS-IS Link
State Protocol Data Units (LSPs) with routing information. Each LSP
is composed of a fixed header and a number of tuples, each consisting
of a Type, a Length, and a Value. Such tuples are commonly known as
TLVs, and are a good way of encoding information in a flexible and
extensible format.
This document contains the design of new TLVs to replace the existing
IS Neighbor TLV and IP Reachability TLV, and to include additional
information about the characteristics of a particular link to an IS-
IS LSP. The characteristics described in this document are needed
for traffic engineering [RFC2702]. Secondary goals include
increasing the dynamic range of the IS-IS metric and improving the
encoding of IP prefixes.
Li & Smit Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 5305 IS-IS Extensions for Traffic Engineering October 2008
The router ID is useful for traffic engineering purposes because it
describes a single address that can always be used to reference a
particular router.
Mechanisms and procedures to migrate to the new TLVs are not
discussed in this document.
A prior version of this document was published as [RFC3784] with
Informational status. This version is on the standards track.
1.1. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
2. Introducing Sub-TLVs
This document introduces a new way to encode routing information in
IS-IS. The new object is called a sub-TLV. Sub-TLVs are similar to
regular TLVs. They use the same concepts as regular TLVs. The
difference is that TLVs exist inside IS-IS packets, while sub-TLVs
exist inside TLVs. TLVs are used to add extra information to IS-IS
packets. Sub-TLVs are used to add extra information to particular
TLVs. Each sub-TLV consists of three fields, a one-octet Type field,
a one-octet Length field, and zero or more octets of Value. The Type
field indicates the type of items in the Value field. The Length
field indicates the length of the Value field in octets. Each sub-
TLV can potentially hold multiple items. The number of items in a
sub-TLV can be computed from the length of the whole sub-TLV, when
the length of each item is known. Unknown sub-TLVs are to be ignored
and skipped upon receipt.
The Sub-TLV type space is managed by the IETF IS-IS WG [ISIS-WG].
New type values are allocated following review on the IETF IS-IS
mailing list. This will normally require publication of additional
documentation describing how the new type is used. In the event that
the IS-IS working group has disbanded, the review shall be performed
by a Designated Expert assigned by the responsible Area Director.
3. The Extended IS Reachability TLV
The extended IS reachability TLV is TLV type 22.
The existing IS reachability (TLV type 2, defined in ISO 10589
[ISO-10589]) contains information about a series of IS neighbors.
For each neighbor, there is a structure that contains the default
metric, the delay, the monetary cost, the reliability, and the
Li & Smit Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 5305 IS-IS Extensions for Traffic Engineering October 2008
7-octet ID of the adjacent neighbor. Of this information, the
default metric is commonly used. The default metric is currently one
octet, with one bit used to indicate whether the metric is internal
or external, and one bit that was originally unused, but which was
later defined by [RFC5302] to be the up/down bit. The remaining 6
bits are used to store the actual metric, resulting in a possible
metric range of 0-63. This limitation is one of the restrictions
that we would like to lift.
The remaining three metrics (delay, monetary cost, and reliability)
are not commonly implemented and reflect unused overhead in the TLV.
The neighbor is identified by its system ID, typically 6 octets, plus
one octet indicating the pseudonode number. Thus, the existing TLV
consumes 11 octets per neighbor, with 4 octets for metric and 7
octets for neighbor identification. To indicate multiple
adjacencies, this structure is repeated within the IS reachability
TLV. Because the TLV is limited to 255 octets of content, a single
TLV can describe up to 23 neighbors. The IS reachability TLV can be
repeated within the LSP fragments to describe further neighbors.
The proposed extended IS reachability TLV contains a new data
structure, consisting of:
7 octets of system ID and pseudonode number
3 octets of default metric
1 octet of length of sub-TLVs
0-244 octets of sub-TLVs, where each sub-TLV consists of a
sequence of
1 octet of sub-type
1 octet of length of the Value field of the sub-TLV
0-242 octets of value
Thus, if no sub-TLVs are used, the new encoding requires 11 octets
and can contain up to 23 neighbors. Please note that while the
encoding allows for 255 octets of sub-TLVs, the maximum value cannot
fit in the overall IS reachability TLV. The practical maximum is 255
octets minus the 11 octets described above, or 244 octets. There is
no defined mechanism for extending the sub-TLV space. Thus, wasting
sub-TLV space is discouraged.
Li & Smit Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 5305 IS-IS Extensions for Traffic Engineering October 2008
The metric octets are encoded as a 24-bit unsigned integer. Note
that the Metric field in the new extended IP reachability TLV is
encoded as a 32-bit unsigned integer. These different sizes were
chosen so that it is very unlikely that the cost of an intra-area
route has to be chopped off to fit in the Metric field of an inter-
area route.
To preclude overflow within a traffic engineering Shortest Path First
(SPF) implementation, all metrics greater than or equal to
MAX_PATH_METRIC SHALL be considered to have a metric of
MAX_PATH_METRIC. It is easiest to select MAX_PATH_METRIC such that
MAX_PATH_METRIC plus a single link metric does not overflow the
number of bits for internal metric calculation. We assume that this
is 32 bits. Therefore, we have chosen MAX_PATH_METRIC to be
4,261,412,864 (0xFE000000, 2^32 - 2^25).
If a link is advertised with the maximum link metric (2^24 - 1), this
link MUST NOT be considered during the normal SPF computation. This
will allow advertisement of a link for purposes other than building
the normal Shortest Path Tree. An example is a link that is
available for traffic engineering, but not for hop-by-hop routing.
Certain sub-TLVs are established here:
+------------+----------------+-------------------------------------+
| Sub-TLV | Length | Name |
| type | (octets) | |
+------------+----------------+-------------------------------------+
| 3 | 4 | Administrative group (color) |
| | | |
| 6 | 4 | IPv4 interface address |
| | | |
| 8 | 4 | IPv4 neighbor address |
| | | |
| 9 | 4 | Maximum link bandwidth |
| | | |
| 10 | 4 | Maximum reservable link bandwidth |
| | | |
| 11 | 32 | Unreserved bandwidth |
| | | |
| 18 | 3 | TE Default metric |
| | | |
| 250-254 | | Reserved for Cisco specific |
| | | extensions |
| | | |
| 255 | | Reserved for future expansion |
+------------+----------------+-------------------------------------+
Li & Smit Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 5305 IS-IS Extensions for Traffic Engineering October 2008
Each of these sub-TLVs is described below. Unless stated otherwise,
multiple occurrences of the information are supported by multiple
inclusions of the sub-TLV.
3.1. Sub-TLV 3: Administrative Group (color, resource class)
The administrative group sub-TLV contains a 4-octet bit mask assigned
by the network administrator. Each set bit corresponds to one
administrative group assigned to the interface.
By convention, the least significant bit is referred to as 'group 0',
and the most significant bit is referred to as 'group 31'.
This sub-TLV is OPTIONAL. This sub-TLV SHOULD appear once at most in
each extended IS reachability TLV.
3.2. Sub-TLV 6: IPv4 Interface Address
This sub-TLV contains a 4-octet IPv4 address for the interface
described by the (main) TLV. This sub-TLV can occur multiple times.
Implementations MUST NOT inject a /32 prefix for the interface
address into their routing or forwarding table because this can lead
to forwarding loops when interacting with systems that do not support
this sub-TLV.
If a router implements the basic TLV extensions in this document, it
MAY add or omit this sub-TLV from the description of an adjacency.
If a router implements traffic engineering, it MUST include this sub-
TLV.
3.3. Sub-TLV 8: IPv4 Neighbor Address
This sub-TLV contains a single IPv4 address for a neighboring router
on this link. This sub-TLV can occur multiple times.
Implementations MUST NOT inject a /32 prefix for the neighbor address
into their routing or forwarding table because this can lead to
forwarding loops when interacting with systems that do not support
this sub-TLV.
If a router implements the basic TLV extensions in this document, it
MAY add or omit this sub-TLV from the description of an adjacency.
If a router implements traffic engineering, it MUST include this sub-
TLV on point-to-point adjacencies.
Li & Smit Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 5305 IS-IS Extensions for Traffic Engineering October 2008
3.4. Sub-TLV 9: Maximum Link Bandwidth
This sub-TLV contains the maximum bandwidth that can be used on this
link in this direction (from the system originating the LSP to its
neighbors). This is useful for traffic engineering.
The maximum link bandwidth is encoded in 32 bits in IEEE floating
point format. The units are bytes (not bits!) per second.
This sub-TLV is optional. This sub-TLV SHOULD appear once at most in
each extended IS reachability TLV.
3.5. Sub-TLV 10: Maximum Reservable Link Bandwidth
This sub-TLV contains the maximum amount of bandwidth that can be
reserved in this direction on this link. Note that for
oversubscription purposes, this can be greater than the bandwidth of
the link.
The maximum reservable link bandwidth is encoded in 32 bits in IEEE
floating point format. The units are bytes (not bits!) per second.
This sub-TLV is optional. This sub-TLV SHOULD appear once at most in
each extended IS reachability TLV.
3.6. Sub-TLV 11: Unreserved Bandwidth
This sub-TLV contains the amount of bandwidth reservable in this
direction on this link. Note that for oversubscription purposes,
this can be greater than the bandwidth of the link.
Because of the need for priority and preemption, each head end needs
to know the amount of reserved bandwidth at each priority level.
Thus, this sub-TLV contains eight 32-bit IEEE floating point numbers.
The units are bytes (not bits!) per second. The values correspond to
the bandwidth that can be reserved with a setup priority of 0 through
7, arranged in increasing order with priority 0 occurring at the
start of the sub-TLV, and priority 7 at the end of the sub-TLV.
For stability reasons, rapid changes in the values in this sub-TLV
SHOULD NOT cause rapid generation of LSPs.
This sub-TLV is optional. This sub-TLV SHOULD appear once at most in
each extended IS reachability TLV.
Li & Smit Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 5305 IS-IS Extensions for Traffic Engineering October 2008
3.7. Sub-TLV 18: Traffic Engineering Default Metric
This sub-TLV contains a 24-bit unsigned integer. This metric is
administratively assigned and can be used to present a differently
weighted topology to traffic engineering SPF calculations.
To preclude overflow within a traffic engineering SPF implementation,
all metrics greater than or equal to MAX_PATH_METRIC SHALL be
considered to have a metric of MAX_PATH_METRIC. It is easiest to
select MAX_PATH_METRIC such that MAX_PATH_METRIC plus a single link
metric does not overflow the number of bits for internal metric
calculation. We assume that this is 32 bits. Therefore, we have
chosen MAX_PATH_METRIC to be 4,261,412,864 (0xFE000000, 2^32 - 2^25).
This sub-TLV is optional. This sub-TLV SHOULD appear once at most in
each extended IS reachability TLV. If a link is advertised without
this sub-TLV, traffic engineering SPF calculations MUST use the
normal default metric of this link, which is advertised in the fixed
part of the extended IS reachability TLV.
4. The Extended IP Reachability TLV
The extended IP reachability TLV is TLV type 135.
The existing IP reachability TLVs (TLV type 128 and TLV type 130,
defined in [RFC1195]) carry IP prefixes in a format that is analogous
to the IS neighbor TLV from ISO 10589 [ISO-10589]. They carry four
metrics, of which only the default metric is commonly used. The
default metric has a possible range of 0-63. We would like to remove
this restriction.
In addition, route redistribution (a.k.a. route leaking) has a key
problem that was not fully addressed by the existing IP reachability
TLVs. [RFC1195] allows a router to advertise prefixes upwards in the
level hierarchy. Unfortunately, there were no mechanisms defined to
advertise prefixes downwards in the level hierarchy.
To address these two issues, the proposed extended IP reachability
TLV provides for a 32-bit metric and adds one bit to indicate that a
prefix has been redistributed 'down' in the hierarchy.
Li & Smit Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 5305 IS-IS Extensions for Traffic Engineering October 2008
The proposed extended IP reachability TLV contains a new data
structure, consisting of:
4 octets of metric information
1 octet of control information, consisting of
1 bit of up/down information
1 bit indicating the presence of sub-TLVs
6 bits of prefix length
0-4 octets of IPv4 prefix
0-250 optional octets of sub-TLVs, if present consisting of
1 octet of length of sub-TLVs
0-249 octets of sub-TLVs, where each sub-TLV consists of a
sequence of
1 octet of sub-type
1 octet of length of the Value field of the sub-TLV
0-247 octets of value
This data structure can be replicated within the TLV, as long as the
maximum length of the TLV is not exceeded.
Li & Smit Standards Track [Page 9]
RFC 5305 IS-IS Extensions for Traffic Engineering October 2008
The 6 bits of prefix length can have the values 0-32 and indicate the
number of significant bits in the prefix. The prefix is encoded in
the minimal number of octets for the given number of significant
bits. This implies:
+------------------+--------+
| Significant bits | Octets |
+------------------+--------+
| 0 | 0 |
| | |
| 1-8 | 1 |
| | |
| 9-16 | 2 |
| | |
| 17-24 | 3 |
| | |
| 25-32 | 4 |
+------------------+--------+
The remaining bits of prefix are transmitted as zero and ignored upon
receipt.
If a prefix is advertised with a metric larger then MAX_PATH_METRIC
(0xFE000000, see paragraph 3.0), this prefix MUST NOT be considered
during the normal SPF computation. This allows advertisement of a
prefix for purposes other than building the normal IP routing table.
4.1. The up/down Bit
If routers were allowed to redistribute IP prefixes freely in both
directions between level 1 and level 2 without any additional
mechanisms, those routers would not be able to determine looping of
routing information. A problem occurs when a router learns a prefix
via level 2 routing and advertises that prefix down into a level 1
area, where another router might pick up the route and advertise the
prefix back up into the level 2 backbone. If the original source
withdraws the prefix, those two routers might end up having a routing
loop between them, where part of the looped path is via level 1
routing and the other part of the looped path is via level 2 routing.
The solution that [RFC1195] poses is to allow only advertising
prefixes upward in the level hierarchy, and to disallow the
advertising of prefixes downward in the hierarchy.
To prevent this looping of prefixes between levels, a new bit of
information is defined in the new extended IP reachability TLV. This
bit is called the up/down bit. The up/down bit SHALL be set to 0
when a prefix is first injected into IS-IS. If a prefix is
advertised from a higher level to a lower level (e.g., level 2 to
Li & Smit Standards Track [Page 10]
RFC 5305 IS-IS Extensions for Traffic Engineering October 2008
level 1), the bit MUST be set to 1, indicating that the prefix has
traveled down the hierarchy. Prefixes that have the up/down bit set
to 1 may only be advertised down the hierarchy, i.e., to lower
levels.
These semantics apply even if IS-IS is extended in the future to have
additional levels. By ensuring that prefixes follow only the IS-IS
hierarchy, we have ensured that the information does not loop,
thereby ensuring that there are no persistent forwarding loops.
If a prefix is advertised from one area to another at the same level,
then the up/down bit SHALL be set to 1. This situation can arise
when a router implements multiple virtual routers at the same level,
but in different areas.
The semantics of the up/down bit in the new extended IP reachability
TLV are identical to the semantics of the up/down bit defined in
[RFC5302].
4.2. Expandability of the Extended IP Reachability TLV with Sub-TLVs
The extended IP reachability TLV can hold sub-TLVs that apply to a
particular prefix. This allows for easy future extensions. If there
are no sub-TLVs associated with a prefix, the bit indicating the
presence of sub-TLVs SHALL be set to 0. If this bit is set to 1, the
first octet after the prefix will be interpreted as the length of all
sub-TLVs associated with this IPv4 prefix. Please note that while
the encoding allows for 255 octets of sub-TLVs, the maximum value
cannot fit in the overall extended IP reachability TLV. The
practical maximum is 255 octets minus the 5-9 octets described above,
or 250 octets.
This document does not define any sub-TLVs for the extended IP
reachability TLV.
4.3. The Traffic Engineering Router ID TLV
The Traffic Engineering router ID TLV is TLV type 134.
The router ID TLV contains the 4-octet router ID of the router
originating the LSP. This is useful in several regards:
For traffic engineering, it guarantees that we have a single
stable address that can always be referenced in a path that will
be reachable from multiple hops away, regardless of the state of
the node's interfaces.
Li & Smit Standards Track [Page 11]
RFC 5305 IS-IS Extensions for Traffic Engineering October 2008
If OSPF is also active in the domain, traffic engineering can
compute the mapping between the OSPF and IS-IS topologies.
If a router does not implement traffic engineering, it MAY add or
omit the Traffic Engineering router ID TLV. If a router implements
traffic engineering, it MUST include this TLV in its LSP. This TLV
SHOULD not be included more than once in an LSP.
If a router advertises the Traffic Engineering router ID TLV in its
LSP, and if it advertises prefixes via the Border Gateway Protocol
(BGP) with the BGP next hop attribute set to the BGP router ID, the
Traffic Engineering router ID SHOULD be the same as the BGP router
ID.
Implementations MUST NOT inject a /32 prefix for the router ID into
their forwarding table because this can lead to forwarding loops when
interacting with systems that do not support this TLV.
5. IANA Considerations
Prior IANA requests for this purpose were covered as part of
[RFC3784]. The text of those requests is reproduced here for
completeness and consistency.
5.1. TLV Codepoint Allocations
This document defines the following new IS-IS TLV types, which have
been reflected in the ISIS TLV codepoint registry:
+------+---------------------------------------+-----+-----+-----+
| Type | Description | IIH | LSP | SNP |
+------+---------------------------------------+-----+-----+-----+
| 22 | The extended IS reachability TLV | n | y | n |
| | | | | |
| 134 | The Traffic Engineering router ID TLV | n | y | n |
| | | | | |
| 135 | The extended IP reachability TLV | n | y | n |
+------+---------------------------------------+-----+-----+-----+
Li & Smit Standards Track [Page 12]
RFC 5305 IS-IS Extensions for Traffic Engineering October 2008
5.2. New Registries
IANA has created the following new registries.
5.2.1. Sub-TLVs for the Extended IS Reachability TLV
This registry contains codepoints for sub-TLVs of TLV 22. The range
of values is 0-255. Allocations within the registry require
documentation of the proposed use of the allocated value and approval
by the Designated Expert assigned by the IESG (see [RFC5226]).
Taking into consideration allocations specified in this document, the
registry has been initialized as follows:
