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

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 Switched

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

                      Figure 2: Multiple-Hop 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).

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

   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.

   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.

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.

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.

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)

5.1.  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.

   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:

   At time T2, an ODU2 at priority 4 is set up.  The first ODU3 has not
   been available since T1 as it was kept by the ODU3 LSP, while the

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

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

    0                   1                   2                   3

      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.

5.4.  Example of Single-Stage Muxing

   Suppose there is 1 OTU4 component link supporting single-stage muxing
   of ODU1, ODU2, ODU3, and ODUflex, the supported hierarchy can be
   summarized in a tree as in the following figure.  For the sake of
   simplicity, we also assume that only priorities 0 and 3 are
   supported.  The T, S, and TSG fields are not relevant to this example
   (filled with Xs).

          ODU1 ODU2  ODU3 ODUflex

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].
