PROPOSED STANDARD
Updated by:7775Network Working Group C. HoppsRequest for Comments: 5308 Cisco SystemsCategory: Standards Track October 2008Routing IPv6 with IS-ISStatus of This Memo This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.Abstract This document specifies a method for exchanging IPv6 routing information using the IS-IS routing protocol. The described method utilizes two new TLVs: a reachability TLV and an interface address TLV to distribute the necessary IPv6 information throughout a routing domain. Using this method, one can route IPv6 along with IPv4 and OSI using a single intra-domain routing protocol.1. Overview IS-IS is an extendible intra-domain routing protocol. Each router in the routing domain issues an Link State Protocol Data Unit (LSP) that contains information pertaining to that router. The LSP contains typed variable-length data, often referred to as TLVs (type-length- values). We extend the protocol with two new TLVs to carry information required to perform IPv6 routing. In [RFC1195], a method is described to route both OSI and IPv4. We utilize this same method with some minor changes to allow for IPv6. To do so, we must define two new TLVs, namely "IPv6 Reachability" and "IPv6 Interface Address", and a new IPv6 protocol identifier. In our new TLVs, we utilize the extended metrics and up/down semantics of [RFC5305].1.1. Requirements Language 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 inRFC 2119 [RFC2119].Hopps Standards Track [Page 1]
RFC 5308 Routing IPv6 with IS-IS October 20082. IPv6 Reachability TLV The "IPv6 Reachability" TLV is TLV type 236 (0xEC). [RFC1195] defines two Reachability TLVs, "IP Internal Reachability Information" and "IP External Reachability Information". We provide the equivalent IPv6 data with the "IPv6 Reachability" TLV and an "external" bit. The "IPv6 Reachability" TLV describes network reachability through the specification of a routing prefix, metric information, a bit to indicate if the prefix is being advertised down from a higher level, a bit to indicate if the prefix is being distributed from another routing protocol, and OPTIONALLY the existence of Sub-TLVs to allow for later extension. This data is represented by the following structure: 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type = 236 | Length | Metric .. | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | ..

Link-local prefixes MUST NOT be advertised using this TLV. As is described in [RFC5305]: "The up/down bit SHALL be set to 0 when a prefix is first injected into IS-IS. If a prefix is advertised from a higher level to a lower level (e.g. level 2 to level 1), the bit SHALL be set to 1, indicating that the prefix has traveled down the hierarchy. Prefixes that have the up/down bit set to 1 may only be advertised down the hierarchy, i.e., to lower levels". If the prefix was distributed into IS-IS from another routing protocol, the external bit SHALL be set to 1. This information is useful when distributing prefixes from IS-IS to other protocols.Hopps Standards Track [Page 2]
RFC 5308 Routing IPv6 with IS-IS October 2008 If the Sub-TLV bit is set to 0, then the octets of Sub-TLVs are not present. Otherwise, the bit is 1 and the octet following the prefix will contain the length of the Sub-TLV portion of the structure. The prefix is "packed" in the data structure. That is, only the required number of octets of prefix are present. This number can be computed from the prefix length octet as follows: prefix octets = integer of ((prefix length + 7) / 8) Just as in [RFC5305], if a prefix is advertised with a metric larger than MAX_V6_PATH_METRIC (0xFE000000), this prefix MUST not be considered during the normal Shortest Path First (SPF) computation. This will allow advertisement of a prefix for purposes other than building the normal IPv6 routing table. If Sub-TLVs are present, they have the same form as normal TLVs, as shown below. 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type | Length | Value(*) .. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ * - if present Length indicates how many octets of value are present and can be 0.3. IPv6 Interface Address TLV The "IPv6 Interface Address" TLV is TLV type 232 (0xE8). TLV 232 maps directly to "IP Interface Address" TLV in [RFC1195] . We necessarily modify the contents to be 0-15 16-octet IPv6 interface addresses instead of 0-63 4-octet IPv4 interface addresses.Hopps Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 5308 Routing IPv6 with IS-IS October 2008 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type = 232 | Length | Interface Address 1(*) .. | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | ..

Interface Address 1(*) .. | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Interface Address 1(*) .. | Interface Address 2(*) .. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ * - if present We further restrict the semantics of this TLV depending on where it is advertised. For Hello PDUs, the "Interface Address" TLV MUST contain only the link-local IPv6 addresses assigned to the interface that is sending the Hello. For LSPs, the "Interface Address" TLVs MUST contain only the non-link-local IPv6 addresses assigned to the IS.4. IPv6 NLPID The value of the IPv6 Network Layer Protocol ID (NLPID) is 142 (0x8E). As with [RFC1195] and IPv4, if the IS supports IPv6 routing using IS-IS, it MUST advertise this in the "NLPID" TLV by adding the IPv6 NLPID.5. Operation We utilize the same changes to [RFC1195] as made in [RFC5305] for the processing of prefix information. These changes are both related to the SPF calculation. Since the metric space has been extended, we need to redefine the MAX_PATH_METRIC (1023) from the original specification in [RFC1195]. This new value MAX_V6_PATH_METRIC is the same as in [RFC5305] (0xFE000000). If, during the SPF, a path metric would exceed MAX_V6_PATH_METRIC, it SHALL be considered to be MAX_V6_PATH_METRIC.Hopps Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 5308 Routing IPv6 with IS-IS October 2008 The order of preference between paths for a given prefix MUST be modified to consider the up/down bit. The new order of preference is as follows (from best to worst). 1. Level 1 up prefix 2. Level 2 up prefix 3. Level 2 down prefix 4. Level 1 down prefix If multiple paths have the same best preference, then selection occurs based on metric. Any remaining multiple paths SHOULD be considered for equal-cost multi-path routing if the router supports this; otherwise, the router can select any one of the multiple paths.6. IANA Considerations IANA has updated the IS-IS codepoint registry so that TLV codes 232 and 236 refer to this RFC. IANA has also created the following new codepoint registry for Sub- TLVs of TLV 236. The range of values for Type is 0-255. Allocations within the registry require documentation of the use and requires approval by the Designated Expert assigned by the IESG [RFC5226]. All codepoints are currently unassigned.7. Security Considerations This document raises no new security considerations. Security considerations for the IS-IS protocol are covered in [ISO10589] and in [RFC5304].8. References8.1.
