Subject: [OSPF] OSPFv3 TE Topology

Hi All,

In OSPFv3 TE RFC we depend upon Local Interface IPv6 Address, Remote Interface IPv6 Address to build TE topology (This is not a good mechanism to build TE topology in IPV6 since an interface might have many ipv6 addresses). Way this TE topology is formed is not inline with OSPFv3 base RFC where we focus on network-protocol-independent topology.

My suggestion is we can come up with a new Interface ID sub-TLV for the link TLV. Which specifies the Interface ID assigned to the interface being described.Using this Sub-TLV   and Neighbor ID Sub-TLV we can form a network-protocol-independent TE topology.

Correct me if i am missing any information

Thanks
Rajesh
