RFC 7138 OSPF-TE Extensions for OTN Support March 2014
1. Introduction
G.709 ("Interfaces for the Optical Transport Network (OTN)")
[G.709-2012] includes new fixed and flexible ODU (Optical channel
Data Unit) containers, includes two types of tributary slots (i.e.,
1.25 Gbps and 2.5 Gbps), and supports various multiplexing
relationships (e.g., ODUj multiplexed into ODUk (j<k)), two different
tributary slots for ODUk (K=1, 2, 3), and the ODUflex service type.
In order to advertise this information in routing, this document
provides encoding specific to OTN technology for use in GMPLS OSPF-TE
as defined in [RFC4203].
For a short overview of OTN evolution and implications of OTN
requirements on GMPLS routing, please refer to [RFC7062]. The
information model and an evaluation against the current solution are
provided in [RFC7096]. The reader is supposed to be familiar with
both of these documents.
Routing information for Optical Channel (OCh) layer (i.e.,
wavelength) is beyond the scope of this document. Please refer to
[RFC6163] and [RFC6566] for further information.
1.1. Terminology
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 [RFC2119].
2. OSPF-TE Extensions
In terms of GMPLS-based OTN networks, each Optical channel Transport
Unit-k (OTUk) can be viewed as a component link, and each component
link can carry one or more types of ODUj (j<k).
Each TE-Link State Advertisement (LSA) can carry a top-level link TLV
with several nested sub-TLVs to describe different attributes of a
TE-Link. Two top-level TLVs are defined in [RFC3630]: (1) The Router
Address TLV (referred to as the Node TLV) and (2) the TE-Link TLV.
One or more sub-TLVs can be nested into the two top-level TLVs. The
sub-TLV set for the two top-level TLVs are also defined in [RFC3630]
and [RFC4203].
As discussed in [RFC7062] and [RFC7096], OSPF-TE must be extended to
be able to advertise the termination and Switching Capabilities of
each different ODUj and ODUk/OTUk (Optical Transport Unit) and the
advertisement of related multiplexing capabilities. These
capabilities are carried in the Switching Capability specific
information field of the Interface Switching Capability Descriptor
Ceccarelli, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 7138 OSPF-TE Extensions for OTN Support March 2014
(ISCD) using formats defined in this document. As discussed in
[RFC7062], the use of a technology-specific Switching Capability
specific information field necessitates the definition of a new
Switching Capability value and associated new Switching Capability.
In the following, we will use ODUj to indicate a service type that is
multiplexed into a higher-order (HO) ODU, ODUk to indicate a higher-
order ODU including an ODUj, and ODUk/OTUk to indicate the layer
mapped into the OTUk. Moreover, ODUj(S) and ODUk(S) are used to
indicate the ODUj and ODUk supporting Switching Capability only, and
the ODUj->ODUk format is used to indicate the ODUj-into-ODUk
multiplexing capability.
This notation can be repeated as needed depending on the number of
multiplexing levels. In the following, the term "multiplexing tree"
is used to identify a multiplexing hierarchy where the root is always
a server ODUk/OTUk and any other supported multiplexed container is
represented with increasing granularity until reaching the leaf of
the tree. The tree can be structured with more than one branch if
the server ODUk/OTUk supports more than one hierarchy.
For example, if a multiplexing hierarchy like the following one is
considered:
ODU2 ODU0 ODUflex ODU0
\ / \ /
| |
ODU3 ODU2
\ /
\ /
\ /
\ /
ODU4
the ODU4 is the root of the muxing tree; ODU3 and ODU2 are containers
directly multiplexed into the server; and ODU2 and ODU0 are the
leaves of the ODU3 branch, while ODUflex and ODU0 are the leaves of
the ODU2 one. This means that it is possible to have the following
multiplexing capabilities:
ODU2->ODU3->ODU4
ODU0->ODU3->ODU4
ODUflex->ODU2->ODU4
ODU0->ODU2->ODU4
Ceccarelli, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 7138 OSPF-TE Extensions for OTN Support March 2014
3. TE-Link Representation
G.709 ODUk/OTUk links are represented as TE-Links in GMPLS Traffic
Engineering Topology for supporting ODUj layer switching. These TE-
Links can be modeled in multiple ways.
OTUk physical link(s) can be modeled as a TE-Link(s). Figure 1 below
provides an illustration of one-hop OTUk TE-Links.
+-------+ +-------+ +-------+
| OTN | | OTN | | OTN |
|Switch |<- OTUk Link ->|Switch |<- OTUk Link ->|Switch |
| A | | B | | C |
+-------+ +-------+ +-------+
|<-- TE-Link -->| |<-- TE-Link -->|
Figure 1: OTUk TE-Links
It is possible to create TE-Links that span more than one hop by
creating forwarding adjacencies (FAs) between non-adjacent nodes (see
Figure 2). As in the one-hop case, multiple-hop TE-Links advertise
the ODU Switching Capability.
+-------+ +-------+ +-------+
| OTN | | OTN | | OTN |
|Switch |<- OTUk Link ->|Switch |<- OTUk Link ->|Switch |
| A | | B | | C |

|<------------- ODUk Link ------------->|
|<-------------- TE-Link--------------->|

4. ISCD Format Extensions
The ISCD describes the Switching Capability of an interface and is
defined in [RFC4203]. This document defines a new Switching
Capability value for OTN [G.709-2012] as follows:
Value Type
----- ----
110 OTN-TDM capable
Ceccarelli, et al. Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 7138 OSPF-TE Extensions for OTN Support March 2014
When supporting the extensions defined in this document, for both
fixed and flexible ODUs, the Switching Capability and Encoding values
MUST be used as follows:
o Switching Capability = OTN-TDM
o Encoding Type = G.709 ODUk (Digital Path) as defined in [RFC4328]
The same Switching Type and encoding values must be used for both
fixed and flexible ODUs. When Switching Capability and Encoding
fields are set to values as stated above, the Interface Switching
Capability Descriptor MUST be interpreted as defined in [RFC4203].
The MAX LSP Bandwidth field is used according to [RFC4203], i.e., 0
<= MAX LSP Bandwidth <= ODUk/OTUk, and intermediate values are those
on the branch of the OTN switching hierarchy supported by the
interface. For example, in the OTU4 link it could be possible to
have ODU4 as MAX LSP Bandwidth for some priorities, ODU3 for others,
ODU2 for some others, etc. The bandwidth unit is in bytes/second and
the encoding MUST be in IEEE floating point format. The discrete
values for various ODUs are shown in the table below (please note
that there are 1000 bits in a kilobit according to normal practices
in telecommunications).
+-------------------+-----------------------------+-----------------+
| ODU Type | ODU nominal bit rate |Value in Byte/Sec|
| | |(floating p. val)|
+-------------------+-----------------------------+-----------------+
| ODU0 | 1,244,160 kbps | 0x4D1450C0 |
| ODU1 | 239/238 x 2,488,320 kbps | 0x4D94F048 |

Ceccarelli, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
RFC 7138 OSPF-TE Extensions for OTN Support March 2014
A single ISCD MAY be used for the advertisement of unbundled or
bundled links supporting homogeneous multiplexing hierarchies and the
same TS (tributary slot) granularity. A different ISCD MUST be used
for each different muxing hierarchy (muxing tree in the following
examples) and different TS granularity supported within the TE-Link.
When a received LSA includes a sub-TLV not formatted accordingly to
the precise specifications in this document, the problem SHOULD be
logged and the wrongly formatted sub-TLV MUST NOT be used for path
computation.
4.1. Switching Capability Specific Information
The technology-specific part of the OTN-TDM ISCD may include a
variable number of sub-TLVs called Bandwidth sub-TLVs. Each sub-TLV
is encoded with the sub-TLV header as defined in [RFC3630],
Section 2.3.2. The muxing hierarchy tree MUST be encoded as an
order-independent list. Two types of Bandwidth sub-TLVs are defined
(TBA by IANA). Note that type values are defined in this document
and not in [RFC3630].
o Type 1 - Unreserved Bandwidth for fixed containers
o Type 2 - Unreserved/MAX LSP Bandwidth for flexible containers
The Switching Capability specific information (SCSI) MUST include one
Type 1 sub-TLV for each fixed container and one Type 2 sub-TLV for
each variable container. Each container type is identified by a
Signal Type. Signal Type values are defined in [RFC7139].
With respect to ODUflex, three different Signal Types are allowed:
o 20 - ODUflex(CBR) (i.e., 1.25*N Gbps)
o 21 - ODUflex(GFP-F), resizable (i.e., 1.25*N Gbps)
o 22 - ODUflex(GFP-F), non-resizable (i.e., 1.25*N Gbps)
where CBR stands for Constant Bit Rate, and GFP-F stands for Generic
Framing Procedure - Framed.
Each MUST always be advertised in separate Type 2 sub-TLVs as each
uses different adaptation functions [G.805]. In the case that both
GFP-F resizable and non-resizable (i.e., 21 and 22) are supported,
only Signal Type 21 SHALL be advertised as this type also implies
support for Type 22 adaptation.

Figure 4: Bandwidth Sub-TLV -- Type 2
The values of the fields shown in figure 4 are explained in
Section 4.1.3.
4.1.3. Switching Capability Specific Information -- Field Values and
Explanation
The fields in the Bandwidth sub-TLV MUST be filled as follows:
o Signal Type (8 bits): Indicates the ODU type being advertised.
Values are defined in [RFC7139].
o Num of stages (8 bits): This field indicates the number of
multiplexing stages used to transport the indicated Signal Type.
It MUST be set to the number of stages represented in the sub-TLV.
Ceccarelli, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
RFC 7138 OSPF-TE Extensions for OTN Support March 2014
o Flags (8 bits):
* T Flag (bit 17): Indicates whether the advertised bandwidth can
be terminated. When the Signal Type can be terminated T MUST
be set, while when the Signal Type cannot be terminated T MUST
be cleared.
* S Flag (bit 18): Indicates whether the advertised bandwidth can
be switched. When the Signal Type can be switched, S MUST be
set; when the Signal Type cannot be switched, S MUST be
cleared.
* The value 0 in both the T bit and S bit MUST NOT be used.
o TSG (3 bits): Tributary Slot Granularity. Used for the
advertisement of the supported tributary slot granularity. The
following values MUST be used:
* 0 - Ignored
* 1 - 1.25 Gbps / 2.5 Gbps
* 2 - 2.5 Gbps only
* 3 - 1.25 Gbps only
* 4-7 - Reserved
A value of 1 MUST be used on interfaces that are configured to
support the fallback procedures defined in [G.798]. A value of 2
MUST be used on interfaces that only support 2.5 Gbps tributary
slots, such as [RFC4328] interfaces. A value of 3 MUST be used on
interfaces that are configured to only support 1.25 Gbps tributary
slots. A value of 0 MUST be used for non-multiplexed Signal Types
(i.e., a non-OTN client).
o Res (3 bits): Reserved bits. MUST be set to 0 and ignored on
receipt.
o Priority (8 bits): A bitmap used to indicate which priorities are
being advertised. The bitmap is in ascending order, with the
leftmost bit representing priority level 0 (i.e., the highest) and
the rightmost bit representing priority level 7 (i.e., the
lowest). A bit MUST be set (1) corresponding to each priority
represented in the sub-TLV and MUST NOT be set (0) when the
corresponding priority is not represented. At least one priority
level MUST be advertised that, unless overridden by local policy,
SHALL be at priority level 0.
Ceccarelli, et al. Standards Track [Page 11]
RFC 7138 OSPF-TE Extensions for OTN Support March 2014
o Stage (8 bits): Each Stage field indicates a Signal Type in the
multiplexing hierarchy used to transport the signal indicated in
the Signal Type field. The number of Stage fields included in a
sub-TLV MUST equal the value of the Num of stages field. The
Stage fields MUST be ordered to match the data plane in ascending
order (from the lowest order ODU to the highest order ODU). The
values of the Stage field are the same as those defined for the
Signal Type field. When the Num of stages field carries a 0, then
the Stage and Padding fields MUST be omitted.
* Example: For the ODU1->ODU2->OD3 hierarchy, the Signal Type
field is set to ODU1 and two Stage fields are present, the
first indicating ODU2 and the second ODU3 (server layer).
o Padding (variable): The Padding field is used to ensure the 32-bit
alignment of stage fields. The length of the Padding field is
always a multiple of 8 bits (1 byte). Its length can be
calculated, in bytes, as: 4 - ( "value of Num of stages field" %
4). The Padding field MUST be set to a zero (0) value on
transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt.
o Unreserved ODUj (16 bits): This field indicates the Unreserved
Bandwidth at a particular priority level. This field MUST be set
to the number of ODUs at the indicated the Signal Type for a
particular priority level. One field MUST be present for each bit
set in the Priority field, and the fields are ordered to match the
Priority field. Fields MUST NOT be present for priority levels
that are not indicated in the Priority field.
o Unreserved Padding (16 bits): The Padding field is used to ensure
the 32-bit alignment of the Unreserved ODUj fields. When present,
the Unreserved Padding field is 16 bits (2 bytes) long. When the
number of priorities is odd, the Unreserved Padding field MUST be
included. When the number of priorities is even, the Unreserved
Padding MUST be omitted.
o Unreserved Bandwidth (32 bits): This field indicates the
Unreserved Bandwidth at a particular priority level. This field
MUST be set to the bandwidth, in bytes/second in IEEE floating
point format, available at the indicated Signal Type for a
particular priority level. One field MUST be present for each bit
set in the Priority field, and the fields are ordered to match the
Priority field. Fields MUST NOT be present for priority levels
that are not indicated in the Priority field.
Ceccarelli, et al. Standards Track [Page 12]
RFC 7138 OSPF-TE Extensions for OTN Support March 2014
o Maximum LSP Bandwidth (32 bits): This field indicates the maximum
bandwidth that can be allocated for a single LSP at a particular
priority level. This field MUST be set to the maximum bandwidth,
in bytes/second in IEEE floating point format, available to a
single LSP at the indicated Signal Type for a particular priority
level. One field MUST be present for each bit set in the Priority
field, and the fields are ordered to match the Priority field.
Fields MUST NOT be present for priority levels that are not
indicated in the Priority field. The advertisement of the MAX LSP
Bandwidth MUST take into account HO OPUk bit rate tolerance and be
calculated according to the following formula:
* Max LSP BW = (# available TSs) * (ODTUk.ts nominal bit rate) *
(1-HO OPUk bit rate tolerance)
5. Examples
The examples in the following pages are not normative and are not
intended to imply or mandate any specific implementation.
5.1. MAX LSP Bandwidth Fields in the ISCD
This example shows how the MAX LSP Bandwidth fields of the ISCD are
filled according to the evolving of the TE-Link bandwidth occupancy.
In this example, an OTU4 link is considered, with supported
priorities 0,2,4,7 and muxing hierarchy ODU1->ODU2->ODU3->ODU4.

Ceccarelli, et al. Standards Track [Page 14]
RFC 7138 OSPF-TE Extensions for OTN Support March 2014
At time T1, an ODU3 at priority 2 is set up, so for priority 0, the
MAX LSP Bandwidth is still equal to the ODU4 bandwidth, while for
priorities from 2 to 7 (excluding the non-supported ones), the MAX
LSP Bandwidth is equal to ODU3, as no more ODU4s are available and
the next supported ODUj in the hierarchy is ODU3. The advertisement
is updated as follows:

5.2. Example of T, S, and TS Granularity Utilization
In this example, an interface with tributary slot type 1.25 Gbps and
fallback procedure enabled is considered (TS granularity=1). It
supports the simple ODU1->ODU2->ODU3 hierarchy and priorities 0 and
3. Suppose that in this interface, the ODU3 Signal Type can be both
switched or terminated, the ODU2 can only be terminated, and the ODU1
can only be switched. Please note that since the ODU1 is not being
advertised to support ODU0, the value of its TSG field is "ignored"
(TS granularity=0). For the advertisement of the capabilities of
such an interface, a single ISCD is used. Its format is as follows:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

5.2.1. Example of Different TS Granularities
In this example, two interfaces with homogeneous hierarchies but
different tributary slot types are considered. The first one
supports an [RFC4328] interface (TS granularity=2) while the second
one supports a G.709-2012 interface with fallback procedure disabled
(TS granularity=3). Both support the ODU1->ODU2->ODU3 hierarchy and
priorities 0 and 3. Suppose that in this interface, the ODU3 Signal
Type can be both switched or terminated, the ODU2 can only be
terminated, and the ODU1 can only be switched. For the advertisement
of the capabilities of such interfaces, two different ISCDs are used.
The format of their SCSIs is as follows:
SCSI of ISCD 1 -- TS granularity=2

Figure 10: Utilization of Different TS Granularities -- ISCD 2
Hierarchies with the same muxing tree but with different exported TS
granularity MUST be considered as non-homogenous hierarchies. This
is the case in which an H-LSP and the client LSP are terminated on
the same egress node. What can happen is that a loose Explicit Route
Object (ERO) is used at the hop where the signaled LSP is nested into
the Hierarchical-LSP (H-LSP) (penultimate hop of the LSP).
In the following figure, node C receives a loose ERO from A; the ERO
goes towards node E, and node C must choose between the ODU2 H-LSP on
if1 or the one on if2. In this case, the H-LSP on if1 exports a
TS=1.25 Gbps, and the H-LSP on if2 exports a TS=2.5 Gbps; because the
service LSP being signaled needs a 1.25 Gbps tributary slot, only the
H-LSP on if1 can be used to reach node E. For further details,
please see Section 3.2 of [RFC7096].

5.3. Example of ODUflex Advertisement
In this example, the advertisement of an ODUflex->ODU3 hierarchy is
shown. In the case of ODUflex advertisement, the MAX LSP Bandwidth
needs to be advertised, and in some cases, information about the
Unreserved Bandwidth could also be useful. The amount of Unreserved
Bandwidth does not give a clear indication of how many ODUflex LSPs
can be set up either at the MAX LSP Bandwidth or at different rates,
as it gives no information about the spatial allocation of the free
TSs.
An indication of the amount of Unreserved Bandwidth could be useful
during the path computation process, as shown in the following
example. Suppose there are two TE-Links (A and B) with MAX LSP
Bandwidth equal to 10 Gbps each. In the case where 50 Gbps of
Unreserved Bandwidth are available on Link A, 10 Gbps on Link B, and
3 ODUflex LSPs of 10 Gbps each have to be restored, for sure only one
can be restored along Link B, and it is probable, but not certain,
that two of them can be restored along Link A. The T, S, and TSG
fields are not relevant to this example (filled with Xs).
In the case of ODUflex advertisement, the Type 2 Bandwidth sub-TLV is
used.

5.7. Example of Component Links with Non-Homogeneous Hierarchies
In this example, 2 OTU4 component links with the same supported TS
granularity and non-homogeneous muxing hierarchies are considered.
The following muxing capabilities trees are supported:
Component Link#1 Component Link#2
ODU2 ODU0 ODU1 ODU0

Considering only supported priorities 0 and 3, the advertisement uses
two different ISCDs, one for each hierarchy (the T, S, and TSG fields
are not relevant to this example and filled with Xs). In the
following figure, the SCSI of each ISCD is shown:

6. OSPFv2 Scalability
This document does not introduce OSPF scalability issues with respect
to existing GMPLS encoding and does not require any modification to
flooding frequency. Moreover, the design of the encoding has been
carried out taking into account bandwidth optimization, in
particular:
Ceccarelli, et al. Standards Track [Page 29]
RFC 7138 OSPF-TE Extensions for OTN Support March 2014
o Only unreserved and MAX LSP Bandwidth related to supported
priorities are advertised.
o For fixed containers, only the number of available containers is
advertised instead of the available bandwidth in order to use only
16 bits per container instead of 32 (as per former GMPLS
encoding).
In order to further reduce the amount of data advertised it is
RECOMMENDED to bundle component links with homogeneous hierarchies as
described in [RFC4201] and illustrated in Section 5.6.
7. Compatibility
All implementations of this document MAY also support advertisement
as defined in [RFC4203]. When nodes support both the advertisement
method in [RFC4203] and the one in this document, implementations
MUST support the configuration of which advertisement method is
followed. The choice of which is used is based on policy and beyond
the scope of this document. This enables nodes following each method
to identify similar supporting nodes and compute paths using only the
appropriate nodes.
8. Security Considerations
This document extends [RFC4203]. As with [RFC4203], it specifies the
contents of Opaque LSAs in OSPFv2. As Opaque LSAs are not used for
Shortest Path First (SPF) computation or normal routing, the
extensions specified here have no direct effect on IP routing.
Tampering with GMPLS TE LSAs may have an effect on the underlying
transport (optical and/or Synchronous Optical Network - Synchronous
Digital Hierarchy (SONET-SDH) network. [RFC3630] notes that the
security mechanisms described in [RFC2328] apply to Opaque LSAs
carried in OSPFv2. An analysis of the security of OSPF is provided
in [RFC6863] and applies to the extensions to OSPF as described in
this document. Any new mechanisms developed to protect the
transmission of information carried in Opaque LSAs will also
automatically protect the extensions defined in this document.
Please refer to [RFC5920] for details on security threats; defensive
techniques; monitoring, detection, and reporting of security attacks;
and requirements.

9. IANA Considerations
9.1. Switching Types
IANA has made the following assignment in the "Switching Types"
section of the "Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS)
Signaling Parameters" registry located at
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/gmpls-sig-parameters>:
Value Name Reference
--------- -------------------------- ----------
110 OTN-TDM capable [RFC7138]
The same type of modification has been applied to the IANA-GMPLS-TC-
MIB at <https://www.iana.org/assignments/ianagmplstc-mib>, where the
value:
OTN-TDM (110), -- Time-Division-Multiplex OTN-TDM capable
has been added to the IANAGmplsSwitchingTypeTC ::= TEXTUAL-CONVENTION
syntax list.
9.2. New Sub-TLVs
This document defines 2 new sub-TLVs that are carried in Interface
Switching Capability Descriptors [RFC4203] with the Signal Type OTN-
TDM. Each sub-TLV includes a 16-bit type identifier (the T-field).
The same T-field values are applicable to the new sub-TLV.
IANA has created and will maintain a new sub-registry, the "Types for
sub-TLVs of OTN-TDM SCSI (Switching Capability Specific Information)"
registry under the "Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Traffic
Engineering TLVs" registry, see
<http://www.iana.org/assignments/ospf-traffic-eng-tlvs>, with the
sub-TLV types as follows:
Value Sub-TLV Reference
--------- -------------------------- ----------
0 Reserved [RFC7138]
1 Unreserved Bandwidth for [RFC7138]
fixed containers
2 Unreserved/MAX Bandwidth for [RFC7138]
flexible containers
3-65535 Unassigned
Types are to be assigned via Standards Action as defined in
[RFC5226].
