RFC 2370               The OSPF Opaque LSA Option              July 1998   may be used directly by OSPF or by other applications.  Standard OSPF   link-state database flooding mechanisms are used to distribute Opaque   LSAs to all or some limited portion of the OSPF topology.2.0  Overview   Over the last several years the OSPF routing protocol [OSPF] has been   widely deployed throughout the Internet.  As a result of this   deployment and the evolution of networking technology, OSPF has been   extended to support many options; this evolution will obviously   continue.   This memo defines enhancements to the OSPF protocol to support a new   class of link-state advertisements (LSA) called Opaque LSAs.  Opaque   LSAs provide a generalized mechanism to allow for the future   extensibility of OSPF. The information contained in Opaque LSAs may   be used directly by OSPF or indirectly by some application wishing to   distribute information throughout the OSPF domain.  For example, the   OSPF LSA may be used by routers to distribute IP to link-layer   address resolution information (see [ARA] for more information).  The   exact use of Opaque LSAs is beyond the scope of this memo.   Opaque LSAs consist of a standard LSA header followed by a 32-bit   qaligned application-specific information field.  Like any other LSA,   the Opaque LSA uses the link-state database distribution mechanism   for flooding this information throughout the topology.  The link-   state type field of the Opaque LSA identifies the LSA's range of   topological distribution. This range is referred to as the Flooding   Scope.   It is envisioned that an implementation of the Opaque option provides   an application interface for 1) encapsulating application-specific   information in a specific Opaque type, 2) sending and receiving   application-specific information, and 3) if required, informing the   application of the change in validity of previously received   information when topological changes are detected.2.1  Organization Of This Document   This document first defines the three types of Opaque LSAs followed   by a description of OSPF packet processing. The packet processing   sections include modifications to the flooding procedure and to the   neighbor state machine.Appendix A then gives the packet formats.Coltun                      Standards Track                     [Page 2]

RFC 2370               The OSPF Opaque LSA Option              July 19982.2 Acknowledgments   The author would like to thank Dennis Ferguson, Acee Lindem, John   Moy, Sandra Murphy, Man-Kit Yeung, Zhaohui "Jeffrey" Zhang and the   rest of the OSPF Working Group for the ideas and support they have   given to this project.3.0 The Opaque LSA   Opaque LSAs are types 9, 10 and 11 link-state advertisements.  Opaque   LSAs consist of a standard LSA header followed by a 32-bit aligned   application-specific information field.  Standard link-state database   flooding mechanisms are used for distribution of Opaque LSAs.  The   range of topological distribution (i.e., the flooding scope) of an   Opaque LSA is identified by its link-state type.  This section   documents the flooding of Opaque LSAs.   The flooding scope associated with each Opaque link-state type is   defined as follows.     o Link-state type 9 denotes a link-local scope. Type-9 Opaque       LSAs are not flooded beyond the local (sub)network.     o Link-state type 10 denotes an area-local scope. Type-10 Opaque       LSAs are not flooded beyond the borders of their associated area.     o Link-state type 11 denotes that the LSA is flooded throughout       the Autonomous System (AS). The flooding scope of type-11       LSAs are equivalent to the flooding scope of AS-external (type-5)       LSAs.  Specifically type-11 Opaque LSAs are 1) flooded throughout       all transit areas, 2) not flooded into stub areas from the       backbone and 3) not originated by routers into their connected       stub areas.  As with type-5 LSAs, if a type-11 Opaque LSA is       received in a stub area from a neighboring router within the       stub area the LSA is rejected.   The link-state ID of the Opaque LSA is divided into an Opaque type   field (the first 8 bits) and a type-specific ID (the remaining 24   bits).  The packet format of the Opaque LSA is given inAppendix A.Section 7.0 describes Opaque type allocation and assignment.   The responsibility for proper handling of the Opaque LSA's flooding   scope is placed on both the sender and receiver of the LSA.  The   receiver must always store a valid received Opaque LSA in its link-   state database.  The receiver must not accept Opaque LSAs that   violate the flooding scope (e.g., a type-11 (domain-wide) Opaque LSA   is not accepted in a stub area).  The flooding scope effects both theColtun                      Standards Track                     [Page 3]

The following describes the modifications to these procedures that   are necessary to insure conformance to the Opaque LSA's Scoping   Rules.3.1  Flooding Opaque LSAs   The flooding of Opaque LSAs must follow the rules of Flooding Scope   as specified in this section.  Section 13 of [OSPF] describes the   OSPF flooding procedure.  The following describes the Opaque LSA's   type-specific flooding restrictions.     o If the Opaque LSA is type 9 (the flooding scope is link-local)       and the interface that the LSA was received on is not the same as       the target interface (e.g., the interface associated with a       particular target neighbor), the Opaque LSA must not be flooded       out that interface (or to that neighbor).  An implementation       should keepk track of the IP interface associated with each       Opaque LSA having a link-local flooding scope.     o If the Opaque LSA is type 10 (the flooding scope is area-local)       and the area associated with Opaque LSA (upon reception) is not       the same as the area associated with the target interface, the       Opaque LSA must not be flooded out the interface.  An       implementation should keep track of the OSPF area associated       with each Opaque LSA having an area-local flooding scope.     o If the Opaque LSA is type 11 (the LSA is flooded throughout the       AS) and the target interface is associated with a stub area the       Opaque LSA must not be flooded out the interface.  A type-11       Opaque LSA that is received on an interface associated with a       stub area must be discarded and not acknowledged (the       neighboring router has flooded the LSA in error).   When opaque-capable routers and non-opaque-capable OSPF routers are   mixed together in a routing domain, the Opaque LSAs are not flooded   to the non-opaque-capable routers. As a general design principle,   optional OSPF advertisements are only flooded to those routers that   understand them.   An opaque-capable router learns of its neighbor's opaque capability   at the beginning of the "Database Exchange Process" (see Section 10.6   of [OSPF], receiving Database Description packets from a neighbor in   state ExStart). A neighbor is opaque-capable if and only if it sets   the O-bit in the Options field of its Database Description packets;   the O-bit is not set in packets other than Database DescriptionColtun                      Standards Track                     [Page 4]

Then, in the next step of the Database Exchange process,   Opaque LSAs are included in the Database summary list that is sent to   the neighbor (see Sections3.2 below and 10.3 of [OSPF]) if and only   if the neighbor is opaque capable.   When flooding Opaque-LSAs to adjacent neighbors, a opaque-capable   router looks at the neighbor's opaque capability.  Opaque LSAs are   only flooded to opaque-capable neighbors. To be more precise, in   Section 13.3 of [OSPF], Opaque LSAs are only placed on the link-state   retransmission lists of opaque-capable neighbors.  However, when send   ing Link State Update packets as multicasts, a non-opaque-capable   neighbor may (inadvertently) receive Opaque LSAs. The non-opaque-   capable router will then simply discard the LSA (see Section 13 of   [OSPF], receiving LSAs having unknown LS types).3.2 Modifications To The Neighbor State Machine   The state machine as it exists in section 10.3 of [OSPF] remains   unchanged except for the action associated with State: ExStart,   Event: NegotiationDone which is where the Database summary list is   built.  To incorporate the Opaque LSA in OSPF this action is changed   to the following.     State(s):  ExStart       Event:  NegotiationDone     New state:  Exchange       Action:  The router must list the contents of its entire area                link-state database in the neighbor Database summary                list.  The area link-state database consists of the                Router LSAs, Network LSAs, Summary LSAs and types 9 and                10 Opaque LSAs contained in the area structure, along                with AS External and type-11 Opaque LSAs contained in                the global structure. AS External and type-11 Opaque                LSAs are omitted from a virtual neighbor's Database                summary list. AS External LSAs and type-11 Opaque LSAs                are omitted from the Database summary list if the area                has been configured as a stub area (see Section 3.6 of                [OSPF]).                Type-9 Opaque LSAs are omitted from the Database summary                list if the interface associated with the neighbor is                not the interface associated with the Opaque LSA (as                noted upon reception).Coltun                      Standards Track                     [Page 5]

RFC 2370               The OSPF Opaque LSA Option              July 1998                Any advertisement whose age is equal to MaxAge is                omitted from the Database summary list. It is instead                added to the neighbor's link-state retransmission list.                A summary of the Database summary list will be sent to                the neighbor in Database Description packets.  Each                Database Description Packet has a DD sequence number,                and is explicitly acknowledged.  Only one Database                Description Packet is allowed to be outstanding at any                one time. For more detail on the sending and receiving                of Database Description packets, see Sections10.6 and                10.8 of [OSPF].4.0  Protocol Data Structures   The Opaque option is described herein in terms of its operation on   various protocol data structures. These data structures are included   for explanatory uses only, and are not intended to constrain an   implementation. In addition to the data structures listed below, this   specification references the various data structures (e.g., OSPF   neighbors) defined in [OSPF].   In an OSPF router, the following item is added to the list of global   OSPF data structures described in Section 5 of [OSPF]:     o Opaque capability. Indicates whether the router is running the       Opaque option (i.e., capable of storing Opaque LSAs).  Such a       router will continue to inter-operate with non-opaque-capable       OSPF routers.4.1 Additions To The OSPF Neighbor Structure   The OSPF neighbor structure is defined in Section 10 of [OSPF].  In   an opaque-capable router, the following items are added to the OSPF   neighbor structure:     o Neighbor Options. This field was already defined in the OSPF       specification. However, in opaque-capable routers there is a new       option which indicates the neighbor's Opaque capability. This new       option is learned in the Database Exchange process through       reception of the neighbor's Database Description packets, and       determines whether Opaque LSAs are flooded to the neighbor. For a       more detailed explanation of the flooding of the Opaque LSA seesection 3 of this document.Coltun                      Standards Track                     [Page 6]

RFC 2370               The OSPF Opaque LSA Option              July 19985.0 Management Considerations   This section identifies the current OSPF MIB [OSPFMIB] capabilities   that are applicable to the Opaque option and lists the additional   management information which is required for its support.   Opaque LSAs are types 9, 10 and 11 link-state advertisements.  The   link-state ID of the Opaque LSA is divided into an Opaque type field   (the first 8 bits) and a type-specific ID (the remaining 24 bits).   The packet format of the Opaque LSA is given inAppendix A.  The   range of topological distribution (i.e., the flooding scope) of an   Opaque LSA is identified by its link-state type.     o Link-State type 9 Opaque LSAs have a link-local scope. Type-9       Opaque LSAs are flooded on a single local (sub)network but are       not flooded beyond the local (sub)network.     o Link-state type 10 Opaque LSAs have an area-local scope. Type-10       Opaque LSAs are flooded throughout a single area but are not       flooded beyond the borders of the associated area.     o Link-state type 11 Opaque LSAs have an Autonomous-System-wide       scope.  The flooding scope of type-11 LSAs are equivalent to the       flooding scope of AS-external (type-5) LSAs.   The OSPF MIB provides a number of objects that can be used to manage   and monitor an OSPF router's Link-State Database.  The ones that are   relevant to the Opaque option are as follows.     The ospfGeneralGroup defines two objects for keeping track of newly     originated and newly received LSAs (ospfOriginateNewLsas and     ospfRxNewLsas respectively).     The OSPF MIB defines a set of optional traps.  The ospfOriginateLsa     trap signifies that a new LSA has been originated by a router and     the ospfMaxAgeLsa trap signifies that one of the LSAs in the     router's link-state database has aged to MaxAge.     The ospfAreaTable describes the configured parameters and     cumulative statistics of the router's attached areas. This table     includes a count of the number of LSAs contained in the area's     link-state database (ospfAreaLsaCount), and a sum of the LSA's LS     checksums contained in this area (ospfAreaLsaCksumSum).  This sum     can be used to determine if there has been a change in a router's     link-state database, and to compare the link-state database of two     routers.Coltun                      Standards Track                     [Page 7]

RFC 2370               The OSPF Opaque LSA Option              July 1998     The ospfLsdbTable describes the OSPF Process's link-state database     (excluding AS-external LSAs).  Entries in this table are indexed     with an Area ID, a link-state type, a link-state ID and the     originating router's Router ID.   The management objects that are needed to support the Opaque option   are as follows.     An Opaque-option-enabled object is needed to indicate if the Opaque     option is enabled on the router.     The origination and reception of new Opaque LSAs should be     reflected in the counters ospfOriginateNewLsas and ospfRxNewLsas     (inclusive for types 9, 10 and 11 Opaque LSAs).     If the OSPF trap option is supported, the origination of new Opaque     LSAs and purging of MaxAge Opaque LSAs should be reflected in the     ospfOriginateLsa and ospfMaxAgeLsa traps (inclusive for types 9, 10     and 11 Opaque LSAs).     The number of type-10 Opaque LSAs should be reflected in     ospfAreaLsaCount; the checksums of type-10 Opaque LSAs should be     included in ospfAreaLsaChksumSum.     Type-10 Opaque LSAs should be included in the ospfLsdbTable.  Note     that this table does not include a method of examining the Opaque     type field (in the Opaque option this is a sub-field of the link-     state ID).     Up until now, LSAs have not had a link-local scope so there is no     method of requesting the number of, or examining the LSAs that are     associated with a specific OSPF interface. A new group of     management objects are required to support type-9 Opaque LSAs.     These objects should include a count of type-9 Opaque LSAs, a     checksum sum and a table for displaying the link-state database for     type-9 Opaque LSAs on a per-interface basis.  Entries in this table     should be indexed with an Area ID, interface's IP address, Opaque     type, link-state ID and the originating router's Router ID.     Prior to the introduction of type-11 Opaque LSAs, AS-External     (type-5) LSAs have been the only link-state types which have an     Autonomous-System-wide scope.  A new group of objects are required     to support type-11 Opaque LSAs.  These objects should include a     count of type-11 Opaque LSAs, a type-11 checksum sum and a table     for displaying the type-11 link-state database.  Entries in this     table should be indexed with the Opaque type, link-state ID and theColtun                      Standards Track                     [Page 8]

The type-11 link-state database     table will allow type-11 LSAs to be displayed once for the router     rather than once in each non-stub area.6.0 Security Considerations   There are two types of issues that need be addressed when looking at   protecting routing protocols from misconfigurations and malicious   attacks.  The first is authentication and certification of routing   protocol information.  The second is denial of service attacks   resulting from repetitive origination of the same router   advertisement or origination a large number of distinct   advertisements resulting in database overflow.  Note that both of   these concerns exist independently of a router's support for the   Opaque option.   To address the authentication concerns, OSPF protocol exchanges are   authenticated.  OSPF supports multiple types of authentication; the   type of authentication in use can be configured on a per network   segment basis. One of OSPF's authentication types, namely the   Cryptographic authentication option, is believed to be secure against   passive attacks and provide significant protection against active   attacks. When using the Cryptographic authentication option, each   router appends a "message digest" to its transmitted OSPF packets.   Receivers then use the shared secret key and received digest to   verify that each received OSPF packet is authentic.   The quality of the security provided by the Cryptographic   authentication option depends completely on the strength of the   message digest algorithm (MD5 is currently the only message digest   algorithm specified), the strength of the key being used, and the   correct implementation of the security mechanism in all communicating   OSPF implementations. It also requires that all parties maintain the   secrecy of the shared secret key.  None of the standard OSPF   authentication types provide confidentiality. Nor do they protect   against traffic analysis.  For more information on the standard OSPF   security mechanisms, see Sections8.1,8.2, andAppendix D of [OSPF].   [DIGI] describes the extensions to OSPF required to add digital   signature authentication to Link State data and to provide a   certification mechanism for router data.  [DIGI] also describes the   added LSA processing and key management as well as a method for   migration from, or co-existence with, standard OSPF V2.   Repetitive origination of advertisements are addressed by OSPF by   mandating a limit on the frequency that new instances of any   particular LSA can be originated and accepted during the flooding   procedure.  The frequency at which new LSA instances may beColtun                      Standards Track                     [Page 9]

RFC 2370               The OSPF Opaque LSA Option              July 1998   originated is set equal to once every MinLSInterval seconds, whose   value is 5 seconds (see Section 12.4 of [OSPF]).  The frequency at   which new LSA instances are accepted during flooding is once every   MinLSArrival seconds, whose value is set to 1 (seeSection 13,Appendix B and G.5 of [OSPF]).   Proper operation of the OSPF protocol requires that all OSPF routers   maintain an identical copy of the OSPF link-state database.  However,   when the size of the link-state database becomes very large, some   routers may be unable to keep the entire database due to resource   shortages; we term this "database overflow".  When database overflow   is anticipated, the routers with limited resources can be   accommodated by configuring OSPF stub areas and NSSAs.  [OVERFLOW]   details a way of gracefully handling unanticipated database   overflows.7.0 IANA Considerations   Opaque types are maintained by the IANA.  Extensions to OSPF which   require a new Opaque type must be reviewed by the OSPF working group.   In the event that the OSPF working group has disbanded the review   shall be performed by a recommended Designated Expert.   Following the policies outlined in [IANA], Opaque type values in the   range of 0-127 are allocated through an IETF Consensus action and   Opaque type values in the range of 128-255 are reserved for private   and experimental use.8.0 References   [ARA] Coltun, R., and J.

RFC 2370               The OSPF Opaque LSA Option              July 1998Appendix A: OSPF Data formats   This appendix describes the format of the Options Field followed by   the packet format of the Opaque LSA.A.1 The Options Field   The OSPF Options field is present in OSPF Hello packets, Database   Description packets and all link-state advertisements.  The Options   field enables OSPF routers to support (or not support) optional   capabilities, and to communicate their capability level to other OSPF   routers. Through this mechanism routers of differing capabilities can   be mixed within an OSPF routing domain.   When used in Hello packets, the Options field allows a router to   reject a neighbor because of a capability mismatch.  Alternatively,   when capabilities are exchanged in Database Description packets a   router can choose not to forward certain link-state advertisements to   a neighbor because of its reduced functionality.  Lastly, listing   capabilities in link-state advertisements allows routers to forward   traffic around reduced functionality routers by excluding them from   parts of the routing table calculation.   Six bits of the OSPF Options field have been assigned, although only   the O-bit is described completely by this memo.  Each bit is   described briefly below. Routers should reset (i.e., clear)   unrecognized bits in the Options field when sending Hello packets or   Database Description packets and when originating link-state   advertisements. Conversely, routers encountering unrecognized Option   bits in received Hello Packets, Database Description packets or   link-state advertisements should ignore the capability and process   the packet/advertisement normally.                +------------------------------------+                | * | O | DC | EA | N/P | MC | E | * |                +------------------------------------+                             The Options Field   E-bit        This bit describes the way AS-external-LSAs are flooded, as        described in Sections3.6,9.5,10.8 and12.1.2 of [OSPF].

RFC 2370               The OSPF Opaque LSA Option              July 1998   N/P-bit        This bit describes the handling of Type-7 LSAs, as specified in        [NSSA].   DC-bit        This bit describes the router's handling of demand circuits, as        specified in [DEMD].   EA-bit        This bit describes the router's willingness to receive and        forward External-Attributes-LSAs, as specified in [EAL].   O-bit        This bit describes the router's willingness to receive and        forward Opaque-LSAs as specified in this document.A.2 The Opaque LSA   Opaque LSAs are Type 9, 10 and 11 link-state advertisements.  These   advertisements may be used directly by OSPF or indirectly by some   application wishing to distribute information throughout the OSPF   domain.  The function of the Opaque LSA option is to provide for   future extensibility of OSPF.   Opaque LSAs contain some number of octets (of application-specific   data) padded to 32-bit alignment.  Like any other LSA, the Opaque LSA   uses the link-state database distribution mechanism for flooding this   information throughout the topology.  However, the Opaque LSA has a   flooding scope associated with it so that the scope of flooding may   be link-local (type 9), area-local (type 10) or the entire OSPF   routing domain (type 11).Section 3 of this document describes the   flooding procedures for the Opaque LSA.Coltun                      Standards Track                    [Page 13]

This range is referred to as the Flooding     Scope.  The following explains the flooding scope of each of the     link-state types.     o A value of 9 denotes a link-local scope. Opaque LSAs with a     link-local scope are not flooded beyond the local (sub)network.     o A value of 10 denotes an area-local scope. Opaque LSAs with a     area-local scope are not flooded beyond the area that they are     originated into.     o A value of 11 denotes that the LSA is flooded throughout the     Autonomous System (e.g., has the same scope as type-5 LSAs).     Opaque LSAs with AS-wide scope are not flooded into stub areas.   Syntax Of The Opaque LSA's Link-State ID   The link-state ID of the Opaque LSA is divided into an Opaque Type   field (the first 8 bits) and an Opaque ID (the remaining 24 bits).
