A TTZ comprises a group of routers and a number of links   connecting these routers.  Any router outside of the zone is not   aware of the zone.  A TTZ hides the internal topology of the TTZ from   the outside.  It does not directly advertise any internal information   about the TTZ to a router outside of the TTZ.  The information about   the links and routers such as a link down inside the TTZ is not   advertised to any router outside of the TTZ.Status of This Memo   This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is   published for examination, experimental implementation, and   evaluation.

RFC 8099                Topology-Transparent Zone          February 20171.  Introduction   Networks expand as business grows and traffic increases.  For   scalability and manageability, a hierarchical network architecture is   usually deployed in OSPF networks by regrouping routers into areas,   which is often challenging and causes service interruptions.   At first, reorganizing a network from one area into multiple areas or   from a number of existing areas into even more areas is a very   challenging and time-consuming task since it involves significant   network architecture changes.  Considering the one area case,   originally the network has only one area, which is the backbone.   This original backbone area will be reorganized into a new backbone   and a number of non-backbone areas.  In general, each of the   non-backbone areas is connected to the new backbone area through the   Area Border Routers (ABRs) between the non-backbone and the backbone   area (refer toRFC 2328, Section 3).  It demands careful redesigning   of network topology in advance to guarantee backbone area continuity   and non-backbone-area reachability, and it requires significant   modifications of configurations on many routers to ensure consistent   routing.   Second, the services carried by the network may be interrupted while   the network is being reorganized from one area into multiple areas or   from a number of existing areas into even more areas since every OSPF   interface with an area change is going down with its old area and   then up with a new area.   This document presents a Topology-Transparent Zone (TTZ) in an OSPF   area and describes extensions to OSPFv2 for supporting the TTZ, which   is scalable and resolves the issues above.  A TTZ hides the internal   topology of the TTZ from the outside.  It does not directly advertise   any internal information about the TTZ to any router outside of the   TTZ.2.  Terminology   TTZ link or TTZ-internal link:       A link whose ends are within a single TTZ.   TTZ-internal router:       A router whose links are TTZ-internal links inside a single TTZ.   TTZ-external router:       A router outside of a TTZ that has no TTZ-internal links.   TTZ-external link:       A link not configured to be within a TTZ.Chen, et al.

RFC 8099                Topology-Transparent Zone          February 2017   TTZ edge router:       A router is called a TTZ edge router if some, but not all, of its       links are within a single TTZ.   TTZ router:       A TTZ-internal router or a TTZ edge router.3.  Conventions Used in This Document   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].4.  Requirements   A Topology-Transparent Zone may be deployed to resolve some critical   issues in existing networks and future networks.  The requirements   for a TTZ are listed as follows:   o  Routers outside a TTZ MUST NOT require any changes to operate with      the TTZ.   o  A TTZ MUST be enclosed in a single area.   o  A TTZ MUST hide the topology of the TTZ from any router outside of      the TTZ.5.  Topology-Transparent Zone5.1.  Overview of Topology-Transparent Zone   A Topology-Transparent Zone is identified by a TTZ identifier (ID),   and it consists of a group of routers and a number of links   connecting the routers.  A TTZ MUST be contained within an OSPF area.   A TTZ ID is a 32-bit number that is unique for identifying a TTZ.   The TTZ ID SHOULD NOT be 0 in order to avoid confusion with Area 0.   The same TTZ ID MUST be configured on the routers and/or links that   make up a specific instance of a TTZ.  All TTZ instances in an OSPF   area MUST be unique.   In addition to having similar functions of an OSPF area, an OSPF TTZ   makes some improvements on an OSPF area, which include:   o  An OSPF TTZ represents a set of TTZ edge routers, connected by a      full mesh of virtual connections between them.Chen, et al.

RFC 8099                Topology-Transparent Zone          February 2017   o  Non-TTZ link-state information is handled as normal.  TTZ routers      receive the link-state information about the topology outside of      the TTZ, store the information, and flood the information through      the TTZ to the routers outside of the TTZ.5.2.  TTZ Example   The figure below shows an area containing a TTZ: TTZ 600.

Routers with T (i.e.,   T61, T63, T65, T67, T71, T73, T75, T77, T79, and T81) are also in TTZ   600, which contains the TTZ-internal links connecting them.  To   create a TTZ, we need to configure it (refer toSection 11).   There are two types of routers in a TTZ: TTZ-internal and TTZ edge   routers.  TTZ 600 has four TTZ edge routers: T61, T63, T65, and T67.   Each of them has at least one adjacent router in TTZ 600 and one   adjacent router outside of TTZ 600.  For instance, router T61 is a   TTZ edge router since it has an adjacent router, R15, outside of TTZ   600 and three adjacent routers T71, T75, and T81 in TTZ 600.   In addition, TTZ 600 comprises six TTZ-internal routers: T71, T73,   T75, T77, T79, and T81.  Each of them has all its adjacent routers in   TTZ 600.  For instance, router T71 is a TTZ-internal router since itsChen, et al.                  Experimental                      [Page 6]

RFC 8099                Topology-Transparent Zone          February 2017   adjacent routers, T61, T63, T65, T67, and T73, are all in TTZ 600.   It should be noted that, by definition, a TTZ-internal router cannot   also be an ABR.   A TTZ hides the internal topology of the TTZ from the outside.  It   does not directly advertise any internal information about the TTZ to   any router outside of the TTZ.   For instance, TTZ 600 does not send the information about TTZ-   internal router T71 to any router outside of TTZ 600; it does not   send the information about the link between TTZ routers T61 and T71   to any router outside of TTZ 600.   The figure below illustrates area X from the point of view of a   router outside of TTZ 600 after TTZ 600 is created.

For instance, router R15 sees that   T61, T63, T65, and T67 are connected to each other.   In addition, a router outside of the TTZ sees TTZ edge routers having   normal connections to the routers outside of the TTZ.  For example,   router R15 sees that T61, T63, T65, and T67 have the normal   connections to R15; R29; R17 and R23; and R25 and R31, respectively.Chen, et al.

When       another TTZ router receives the LSA with OP for T, it originates       its TTZ LSA as described inSection 7.   Migrating to TTZ (M):       After a user configures a TTZ router to migrate to TTZ, migrating       to TTZ is triggered.  The TTZ router originates a TTZ control LSA       having a TTZ Options TLV with OP for M and migrates to TTZ.  When       another TTZ router receives the LSA with OP for M, it also       migrates to TTZ.  When a router migrates to TTZ, it computes       routes using the TTZ topology and the topology outside of the       TTZ.  For a TTZ-internal router, it also updates its TTZ       indication LSA with Z = 1.  For a TTZ edge router, it updates its       TTZ router LSA with Z = 1 and its router LSA for virtualizing the       TTZ.  A TTZ router determines whether it is internal or edge       based on configurations (refer toSection 11.1).   Advertising Normal Topology Information for Rollback (N):       After a user configures a TTZ router to advertise normal topology       information, advertising Normal topology information for rollback       is triggered.  The TTZ router originates a TTZ control LSA having       a TTZ Options TLV with OP for N.  It also advertises its normal       LSAs such as its normal router LSA and stops advertising its       other TTZ LSAs.  When another TTZ router receives the LSA with OP       for N, it forwards the LSA, advertises its normal LSAs, and stops       advertising its TTZ LSAs.   Rolling back from TTZ (R):       After a user configures a TTZ router to roll back from TTZ,       rolling back from TTZ is triggered.  The TTZ router originates a       TTZ control LSA having a TTZ Options TLV with OP for R and rolls       back from TTZ.  When another TTZ router receives the LSA with OP       for R, it also rolls back from TTZ.   After a TTZ router originates a TTZ control LSA in response to a   configuration described above to control TTZ, it flushes the TTZ   control LSA if OP in the LSA is set for the configuration and the   configuration is removed.Chen, et al.

It is used to discover a TTZ neighbor.7.  Constructing LSAs for TTZ   For a TTZ, its topology is represented by the LSAs generated by its   TTZ routers for the link states in the TTZ, which include TTZ router   LSAs by TTZ edge routers, TTZ indication LSAs by TTZ-internal   routers, normal router LSAs, and network LSAs.  The TTZ router LSAs   and TTZ indication LSAs MUST be generated after advertising TTZ   topology information for migration is triggered.   A TTZ edge router generates a TTZ router LSA that has a TTZ ID TLV   and a TTZ Router TLV.  The former includes the ID of the TTZ to which   the router belongs and flag E is set to 1, which indicates the   originator of the LSA is a TTZ edge router.  The TTZ Router TLV   contains the TTZ-external links to the routers outside of the TTZ and   the TTZ-internal links to the routers inside of the TTZ as described   inSection 6.  The TTZ router LSA containing this TLV is constructed   and advertised within the TTZ.

If a TTZ router is a Designated Router (DR),   it originates its regular network LSA.   After receiving a trigger to migrate to TTZ such as a TTZ control LSA   with OP for M, a TTZ edge router MUST originate its normal router LSA   for virtualizing a TTZ, which comprises three groups of links in   general.   The first group is the router links connecting the TTZ-external   routers.  These router links are normal router links.  There is a   router link for every adjacency between this TTZ edge router and a   TTZ-external router.   The second group is the "virtual" router links connecting to the   other TTZ edge routers.  For each of the other TTZ edge routers,   there is a corresponding point-to-point (P2P) router link to it from   this TTZ edge router.  The cost of the link is the cost of the   shortest path from this TTZ edge router to the other TTZ edge router   within the TTZ.   In addition, the LSA may contain a third group of links, which are   the stub links for the loopback addresses inside the TTZ to be   accessed by nodes outside of the TTZ.7.1.  TTZ Migration Process   After migration to TTZ is triggered, a TTZ router computes routes   using its TTZ topology (refer toSection 10), and a TTZ edge router   originates its normal router LSA for virtualizing the TTZ in two   steps:   Step 1:  The router updates its router LSA by adding a P2P link to      each of the other known edge routers in the TTZ and also by adding      the stub links for the loopback addresses in the TTZ to be      accessed outside of the TTZ according to configuration policies of      operators.   Step 2:  After MaxLSAGenAdvTime (0.3 s) or sr-time + MaxLSAAdvTime      (0.1 s), it removes the TTZ links from its router LSA, where      sr-time is the time from updating its router LSA to receiving the      ack for its router LSA and receiving the updated router LSAs      originated by the other TTZ edge routers.  In other words, it      removes the TTZ links from its router LSA after sending its      updated router LSA and receiving the updated router LSAs      originated by the other TTZ edge routers for MaxLSAAdvTime or      after sending its updated router LSA for MaxLSAGenAdvTime.      MaxLSAAdvTime and MaxLSAGenAdvTime SHOULD be set to 100 ms and 300Chen, et al.                  Experimental                     [Page 13]

RFC 8099                Topology-Transparent Zone          February 2017      ms, respectively, but MAY be configurable.  The former is the      maximum time for an LSA to be advertised to all the routers in an      area.  The latter is the maximum time for all TTZ router LSAs to      be generated by all TTZ edge routers and advertised to all the      routers in an area after a first TTZ router LSA is generated.   This is to avoid a possible route down or change in a TTZ-external   router while the TTZ is being virtualized.  If each TTZ edge router   originates its router LSA by adding its P2P links to the other TTZ   edge routers and removing its TTZ links in one step, a route taking a   path through the TTZ in the TTZ-external router may be down or   changed before all the router LSAs generated by the TTZ edge routers   reach the TTZ-external router.  When the TTZ-external router computes   routes with some router LSAs originated by the TTZ edge routers,   bidirectional checks for some of the P2P links will fail.  Thus, the   route taking the path through the shortest path for the P2P link   failing the bidirectional check will be down or changed.   To roll back from a TTZ smoothly after receiving a trigger to roll   back from TTZ, a TTZ edge router MUST originate its normal router LSA   in the above two steps in a reverse way.   Step 1:  Initially, it updates its normal router LSA by adding the      normal links for the links configured as TTZ links into the LSA.   Step 2:  It then removes the P2P links to the other edge routers of      the TTZ for virtualizing the TTZ and the stub links for the      loopback addresses from its updated router LSA after sending its      updated router LSA and receiving the updated router LSAs      originated by the other TTZ edge routers for MaxLSAAdvTime or      after sending its updated router LSA for MaxLSAGenAdvTime.8.  Establishing Adjacencies   This section describes the TTZ adjacencies.8.1.  Discovery of TTZ Neighbors   When two routers A and B are connected by a P2P link and have a   normal adjacency, they TTZ discover each other through a TTZ LSA of   LS Type 9 with a TTZ ID TLV.  We call this LSA D-LSA for short.   If two ends of the link have different TTZ IDs or only one end is   configured with a TTZ ID, TTZ adjacency over the link MUST NOT be   "formed".Chen, et al.

The following is a sequence of events related   to TTZ for this case.

B   sends A a D-LSA with TTZ ID after the TTZ is configured on it.   When A receives the D-LSA from B and determines they have the same   TTZ ID and Z flag value, B is A's TTZ neighbor.  A also sends B all   the TTZ LSAs it has and originates its TTZ LSA when one of the   following conditions is met.   o  Z = 0 and there is a TTZ LSA with OP for T.   o  Z = 1.   B is symmetric to A and acts similarly to A.   If two ends of the link have the same TTZ ID but the Z flags are   different, a TTZ adjacency over the link MUST be "formed" in the   following steps.

After receiving B's D-LSA with Z = 1, A updates and sends B its D-LSA   by removing the TTZ Options TLV.  It also updates and advertises its   LSAs as needed.   When a number of routers connected through a broadcast link have   normal adjacencies among them, they also TTZ discover each other   through D-LSAs.  The Designated Router (DR) for the link MUST "form"   TTZ adjacencies with the other routers if all the routers attached to   the link have the same TTZ ID configured on the connections to the   link.  Otherwise, the DR MUST NOT "form" any TTZ adjacency with any   router attached to the link.   When a number of routers connected through a broadcast link have TTZ   adjacencies among them, if a misconfigured router is introduced on   the broadcast link, the DR for the link MUST NOT "form" any TTZ   adjacency with this misconfigured router.   For routers connected via a link without any adjacency among them,   they TTZ discover each other through D-LSAs in the same way as   described above after they form a normal adjacency.

Adjacency between TTZ Edge and TTZ-External Router   A TTZ edge router forms an adjacency with any TTZ-external router to   which it is connected.   When the TTZ edge router synchronizes its link-state database with   the TTZ-external router, it sends the TTZ-external router the   information about all the LSAs except for the LSAs belonging to the   TTZ that are hidden from any router outside of the TTZ.   At the end of the link-state database synchronization, the TTZ edge   router originates its own router LSA for virtualizing the TTZ and   sends this LSA to its adjacent routers, including the TTZ-external   router.9.  Advertisement of LSAs   LSAs can be divided into a couple of classes according to their   Advertisements.  The first class of LSAs is advertised within a TTZ.   The second is advertised through a TTZ.9.1.  Advertisement of LSAs within TTZ   Any LSA about a link state in a TTZ is advertised only within the   TTZ.  It is not advertised to any router outside of the TTZ.  For   example, a router LSA generated for a TTZ-internal router is   advertised only within the TTZ.   Any network LSA generated for a broadcast or Non-Broadcast Multi-   Access (NBMA) network in a TTZ is advertised only within the TTZ.  It   is not advertised outside of the TTZ.   Any opaque LSA generated for a TTZ-internal TE link is advertised   only within the TTZ.Chen, et al.                  Experimental                     [Page 17]

RFC 8099                Topology-Transparent Zone          February 2017   After migrating to TTZ, every edge router of a TTZ MUST NOT advertise   any LSA about a link state in the TTZ to any router outside of the   TTZ.  The TTZ edge router determines whether an LSA is about a TTZ-   internal link state by checking if the advertising router of the LSA   is a TTZ-internal router (i.e., there is a TTZ indication LSA   generated by the TTZ-internal router that has the same advertising   router).   For any TTZ LSA originated by a router within the TTZ, every edge   router of the TTZ MUST NOT advertise it to any router outside of the   TTZ.9.2.  Advertisement of LSAs through TTZ   Any LSA about a link state outside of a TTZ received by an edge   router of the TTZ is advertised using the TTZ as transit.  For   example, when an edge router of a TTZ receives an LSA from a router   outside of the TTZ, it floods it to its neighboring routers both   inside and outside of the TTZ.  This LSA may be any LSA such as a   router LSA that is advertised within an OSPF area.   The routers in the TTZ continue to flood the LSA.  When another edge   router of the TTZ receives the LSA, it floods the LSA to its   neighboring routers both inside and outside of the TTZ.10.  Computation of Routing Table   After a router migrates to TTZ, the computation of the routing table   on the router is the same as that described inRFC 2328, Section 16   with one exception.  The router in a TTZ ignores the router LSAs   generated by the TTZ edge routers for virtualizing the TTZ.  It   computes routes using the TTZ router LSAs and the regular LSAs,   excluding the router LSAs for virtualizing the TTZ.  That is, it   computes routes using the TTZ topology and the topology outside of   the TTZ, excluding the links for virtualizing the TTZ.11.  Operations11.1.  Configuring TTZ   This section proposes some options for configuring a TTZ.   1.  Configuring TTZ on Every Link in TTZ   If every link in a TTZ is configured with the same TTZ ID as a TTZ   link, the TTZ is determined.  A router with some links in a TTZ and   some links not in this TTZ is a TTZ edge router.  A router with all   its links in a TTZ is a TTZ-internal router.Chen, et al.                  Experimental                     [Page 18]

RFC 8099                Topology-Transparent Zone          February 2017   2.  Configuring TTZ on Routers in TTZ   A same TTZ ID is configured on every TTZ-internal router in a TTZ and   on every TTZ edge router's links connecting to the routers in the   TTZ.   A router configured with the TTZ ID on some of its links is a TTZ   edge router.  A router configured with the TTZ ID only is a TTZ-   internal router.  All the links on a TTZ-internal router are TTZ   links.  This option is simpler than option 1 above.   For a TTZ edge router X with different TTZ IDs on its different   links, router X connects two or more different TTZs.  In this case,   router X originates its router LSA for virtualizing the TTZs.  This   LSA includes the normal links connecting to routers outside of these   TTZs and the virtual links to the other edge routers of each of these   TTZs.  Router X also originates its TTZ router LSA for each of the   TTZs.  The TTZ router LSA for TTZ N includes the links to the routers   outside of these TTZs, the virtual links to the other edge routers of   the other TTZs, and the TTZ links to the routers in TTZ N.11.2.  Migration to TTZ   For a group of routers and a number of links connecting the routers   in an area, making them transfer to work as a TTZ without any service   interruption takes a few steps or stages.   At first, a user configures the TTZ feature on every router in the   TTZ.  In this stage, a router does not originate or advertise its TTZ   topology information.  It will discover its TTZ neighbors.   Second, after configuring the TTZ, a user issues a configuration on   one router in the TTZ, which triggers every router in the TTZ to   generate and advertise TTZ information among the routers in the TTZ.   When the router receives the configuration, it originates a TTZ   control LSA with OP for T (indicating TTZ information generation and   advertisement for migration).  It also originates its TTZ LSA, such   as TTZ router LSA or TTZ indication LSA, and advertises the LSA to   its TTZ neighbors.  When another router in the TTZ receives the LSA   with OP for T, it originates its TTZ LSA.  In this stage, every   router in the TTZ has dual roles.  One is to function as a normal   router.  The other is to generate and advertise TTZ information.   Third, a user checks whether a router in the TTZ is ready for   migration to TTZ.  A router in the TTZ is ready after it has received   all the TTZ LSAs, including TTZ router LSAs from TTZ edge routers and   TTZ indication LSAs from TTZ-internal routers.  This information may   be displayed on a router through a configuration.Chen, et al.                  Experimental                     [Page 19]

RFC 8099                Topology-Transparent Zone          February 2017   Then, a user activates the TTZ through using a configuration such as   migrate to TTZ on one router in the TTZ.  The router migrates to TTZ,   generates and advertises a TTZ control LSA with OP for M (indicating   Migrating to TTZ) after it receives the configuration.  After another   router in the TTZ receives the TTZ control LSA with OP for M, it also   migrates to TTZ.  Thus, activating the TTZ on one TTZ router   propagates to every router in the TTZ, which migrates to TTZ.   For an edge router of the TTZ, migrating to work as a TTZ router   comprises generating a router LSA to virtualize the TTZ and flooding   this LSA to all its neighboring routers in two steps as described inSection 7.   In normal operations for migration to TTZ and rollback from TTZ, a   user issues a series of configurations according to certain   procedures.  In an abnormal case, for example, two conflicting   configurations are issued on two TTZ routers in a TTZ at the same   time, and a TTZ router issues an error and logs the error when it   detects a conflict.   A conflicting configuration may be detected on a router on which the   configuration is issued.  Thus, some abnormal cases may be prevented.   When a configuration for migration/rollback is issued on a router,   the router checks whether it is in a correct sequence of   configurations for migration/rollback through using the information   it has.  For migrating a part of an area to a TTZ, the correct   sequence of configurations is in general as follows:   1) configure TTZ on every router in the part of the area to be      migrated to TTZ;   2) configure on one router in the TTZ to trigger every router in the      TTZ to generate and advertise TTZ information for migration; and   3) configure on one router in the TTZ to trigger every router in the      TTZ to migrate to TTZ.   After receiving a configuration on a router to migrate to TTZ, which   is for 3), the router determines whether 2) is performed by checking   if it has received/originated TTZ LSAs.  If it has not, it issues an   error to an operator (generation and advertisement of TTZ information   for migration to TTZ is not done yet) and rejects the configuration   at this time.   After a router receives a TTZ LSA with OP for M for 3) from another   router, it determines whether 2) is performed by checking if it has   received/originated TTZ LSAs.  If it has not, it issues an error and   logs the error, and it does not migrate to TTZ.  In this case, itChen, et al.                  Experimental                     [Page 20]

RFC 8099                Topology-Transparent Zone          February 2017   does not originate its router LSA for virtualizing the TTZ if it is a   TTZ edge router.   After receiving a configuration on a router to generate and advertise   TTZ information, which is for 2), the router determines whether 1) is   performed by checking if TTZ is configured on it.  If it is not, it   issues an error to an operator (TTZ is not configured on it yet) and   rejects the configuration at this time.   For rolling back from TTZ, the correct sequence of configurations is   below.   1) configure on one router in the TTZ to trigger every router in the      TTZ to advertise normal LSAs and stop advertising TTZ LSAs; and   2) configure on one router in the TTZ to trigger every router in the      TTZ to roll back from TTZ.   After receiving a configuration on a router to roll back from TTZ,   which is for 2), the router determines whether 1) is performed by   checking if it has received TTZ LSA with OP for N.  If it has not, it   issues an error to an operator (advertise normal LSAs and stop   advertising TTZ LSAs as rolling back from TTZ is not done yet) and   rejects the configuration at this time.   After a router receives a TTZ LSA with OP for R for 2) from another   router, it determines whether 1) is performed by checking if it has   received TTZ LSA with OP for N.  If it has not, it issues an error   and logs the error, and it does not roll back from TTZ.   After receiving a configuration on a router to advertise normal LSAs   and stop advertising TTZ LSAs for rolling back from TTZ, which is for   1), the router checks whether it has any TTZ LSAs.  If it does not,   it issues an error to an operator (no TTZ to be rolled back) and   rejects the configuration at this time.11.3.  Adding a Router into TTZ   When a non-TTZ router (say R1) is connected via a P2P link to a   migrated TTZ router (say T1), and there is a normal adjacency between   them over the link, a user can configure TTZ on both ends of the link   to add R1 into the TTZ to which T1 belongs.  They TTZ discover each   other as described inSection 8.   When a number of non-TTZ routers are connected via a broadcast or   NBMA link to a migrated TTZ router (say T1), and there are normal   adjacencies among them, a user configures TTZ on the connection to   the link on every router to add the non-TTZ routers into the TTZ toChen, et al.                  Experimental                     [Page 21]

RFC 8099                Topology-Transparent Zone          February 2017   which T1 belongs.  The DR for the link "forms" TTZ adjacencies with   the other routers connected to the link if they all have the same TTZ   ID configured for the link.  This is determined through the TTZ   discovery process described inSection 8.12.  Manageability ConsiderationsSection 11 ("Operations") outlines the configuration process and   deployment scenarios for a TTZ.  The configurable item is enabling a   TTZ on a router and/or an interface on a router.  The TTZ function   may be controlled by a policy module and assigned a suitable user   privilege level to enable.  A suitable model may be required to   verify the TTZ status on routers participating in the TTZ, including   their role as an internal or edge TTZ router.  The mechanisms defined   in this document do not imply any new liveness detection and   monitoring requirements in addition to those indicated in [RFC2328].13.  Security Considerations   A notable beneficial security aspect of TTZ is that the TTZ is   enclosed in a single area, and TTZ could be used to mask the internal   topology.  External routers that are not participating in the TTZ   will not be aware of the internal TTZ topology.  It should be noted   that a malicious node could inject TTZ LSAs with the OP field set to   M or R, which could trigger the migration into/from a TTZ and may   result in the isolation of some routers in the network.  Good   security practice might reuse the OSPF authentication and other   security mechanisms described in [RFC2328] and [RFC7474] to mitigate   this type of risk.14.  IANA Considerations   Under the registry name "Opaque Link-State Advertisements (LSA)   Option Types" [RFC5250], IANA has assigned a new Opaque Type registry   value for TTZ LSA as follows:     +====================+===============+=======================+     |  Registry Value    |  Opaque Type  |    reference          |     +====================+===============+=======================+     |         9          |    TTZ LSA    |    This document      |     +--------------------+---------------+-----------------------+   IANA has created and will maintain a new registry:   o  OSPFv2 TTZ LSA TLVsChen, et al.

RFC 8099                Topology-Transparent Zone          February 2017Appendix A.  Prototype ImplementationA.1.  What Is Implemented and Tested   1.  Command-Line Interface (CLI) Commands for TTZ   The CLIs implemented and tested include:   o  the CLIs of the simpler option for configuring TTZ, and   o  the CLIs for controlling migration to TTZ.   2.  Extensions to OSPF Protocols for TTZ   All the extensions defined in "Extensions to OSPF Protocols"   (Section 6) are implemented and tested except for rolling back from   TTZ.  The testing results illustrate:   o  As seen from the outside, a TTZ is virtualized as its edge routers      connected to each other.  Any router outside of the TTZ sees the      edge routers (as normal routers) connecting to each other and to      some other routers.   o  The link-state information about the routers and links inside the      TTZ is contained within the TTZ.  It is not advertised to any      router outside of the TTZ.   o  TTZ is transparent.  From a router inside a TTZ, it sees the      topology (link state) outside of the TTZ.  From a router outside      of the TTZ, it sees the topology beyond the TTZ.  The link-state      information outside of the TTZ is advertised through the TTZ.   o  TTZ is backward compatible.  Any router outside of a TTZ does not      need to support or know TTZ.   3.  Smooth Migration to TTZ   The procedures and related protocol extensions for smooth migration   to TTZ are implemented and tested.  The testing results show:   o  A part of an OSPF area is smoothly migrated to a TTZ without any      routing disruptions.  The routes on every router are stable while      the part of the area is being migrated to the TTZ.   o  Migration to TTZ is very easy to operate.Chen, et al.                  Experimental                     [Page 24]

RFC 8099                Topology-Transparent Zone          February 2017   4.  Add a Router to TTZ   Adding a router into TTZ is implemented and tested.  The testing   results illustrate:   o  A router can be easily added into a TTZ to become a TTZ router.   o  The router added into the TTZ is not seen on any router outside of      the TTZ, but it is a part of the TTZ.   5.  Leak TTZ Loopbacks Outside   Leaking loopback addresses in a TTZ to routers outside of the TTZ is   implemented and tested.  The testing results illustrate:   o  The loopback addresses inside the TTZ are advertised to the      routers outside of the TTZ.   o  The loopback addresses are accessible from a router outside of the      TTZ.A.2.  Implementation Experience   The implementation of TTZ reuses the existing OSPF code along with   additional simple logic.  A couple of engineers started to work on   implementing the TTZ from the middle of June 2014 and finished coding   it just before the end of July 2014.  After some testing and bug   fixes, it works as expected.   In our implementation, the link-state information in a TTZ opaque LSA   is stored in the same link-state database as the link-state   information in a normal LSA.  For each TTZ link in the TTZ opaque   LSA, there is an additional flag, which is used to differentiate   between a TTZ link and a normal link.   Before migration to TTZ, every router in the TTZ computes its routing   table using the normal links.  After migration to TTZ, every router   in the TTZ computes its routing table using the TTZ links and normal   links.  In the case where both the TTZ link and the normal link   exist, the TTZ link is used.Chen, et al.                  Experimental                     [Page 25]
