Previdi Cisco Systems March 2015OSPF Traffic Engineering (TE) Metric ExtensionsAbstract In certain networks, such as, but not limited to, financial information networks (e.g., stock market data providers), network performance information (e.g., link propagation delay) is becoming critical to data path selection. This document describes common extensions toRFC 3630 "Traffic Engineering (TE) Extensions to OSPF Version 2" andRFC 5329 "Traffic Engineering Extensions to OSPF Version 3" to enable network performance information to be distributed in a scalable fashion. The information distributed using OSPF TE Metric Extensions can then be used to make path selection decisions based on network performance. Note that this document only covers the mechanisms by which network performance information is distributed. The mechanisms for measuring network performance information or using that information, once distributed, are outside the scope of this document.Status of This Memo This is an Internet Standards Track document.

Introduction In certain networks, such as, but not limited to, financial information networks (e.g., stock market data providers), network performance information (e.g., link propagation delay) is becoming as critical to data path selection as other metrics. Because of this, using metrics such as hop count or cost as routing metrics is becoming only tangentially important. Rather, it would be beneficial to be able to make path selection decisions based on network performance information (such as link propagation delay) in a cost-effective and scalable way. This document describes extensions to OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 TE (hereafter called "OSPF TE Metric Extensions"), that can be used to distribute network performance information (viz link propagation delay, delay variation, link loss, residual bandwidth, available bandwidth, and utilized bandwidth). The data distributed by OSPF TE Metric Extensions is meant to be used as part of the operation of the routing protocol (e.g., by replacing cost with link propagation delay or considering bandwidth as well asGiacalone, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 7471 OSPF TE Metric Extensions March 2015 cost), by enhancing Constrained Shortest Path First (CSPF), or for use by a PCE [RFC4655] or an Application-Layer Traffic Optimization (ALTO) server [RFC7285]. With respect to CSPF, the data distributed by OSPF TE Metric Extensions can be used to set up, fail over, and fail back data paths using protocols such as RSVP-TE [RFC3209]. Note that the mechanisms described in this document only distribute network performance information. The methods for measuring that information or acting on it once it is distributed are outside the scope of this document. A method for measuring loss and delay in an MPLS network is described in [RFC6374]. While this document does not specify the method for measuring network performance information, any measurement of link propagation delay SHOULD NOT vary significantly based upon the offered traffic load and, hence, SHOULD NOT include queuing delays. For a forwarding adjacency (FA) [RFC4206], care must be taken that measurement of the link propagation delay avoids significant queuing delay; this can be accomplished in a variety of ways, e.g., measuring with a traffic class that experiences minimal queuing or summing the measured link propagation delay of the links on the FA's path.2. 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 inRFC 2119 [RFC2119]. In this document, these words should convey that interpretation only when in ALL CAPS. Lowercase uses of these words are not to be interpreted as carrying this significance.3. TE Metric Extensions to OSPF TE This document defines new OSPF TE sub-TLVs that are used to distribute network performance information. The extensions in this document build on the ones provided in OSPFv2 TE [RFC3630] and OSPFv3 TE [RFC5329]. OSPFv2 TE Link State Advertisements (LSAs) [RFC3630] are opaque LSAs [RFC5250] with area flooding scope while OSPFv3 Intra-Area-TE-LSAs have their own LSA type, also with area flooding scope; both consist of a single TLV with one or more nested sub-TLVs. The Link TLV is common to both and describes the characteristics of a link between OSPF neighbors.Giacalone, et al. Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 7471 OSPF TE Metric Extensions March 2015 This document defines several additional sub-TLVs for the Link TLV: Type Length Value 27 4 Unidirectional Link Delay 28 8 Min/Max Unidirectional Link Delay 29 4 Unidirectional Delay Variation 30 4 Unidirectional Link Loss 31 4 Unidirectional Residual Bandwidth 32 4 Unidirectional Available Bandwidth 33 4 Unidirectional Utilized Bandwidth As can be seen in the list above, the sub-TLVs described in this document carry different types of network performance information. Many (but not all) of the sub-TLVs include a bit called the Anomalous (or A) bit. When the A bit is clear (or when the sub-TLV does not include an A bit), the sub-TLV describes steady state link performance. This information could conceivably be used to construct a steady state performance topology for initial tunnel path computation, or to verify alternative failover paths. When network performance violates configurable link-local thresholds a sub-TLV with the A bit set is advertised. These sub-TLVs could be used by the receiving node to determine whether to move traffic to a backup path or whether to calculate an entirely new path. From an MPLS perspective, the intent of the A bit is to permit LSP ingress nodes to: A) Determine whether the link referenced in the sub-TLV affects any of the LSPs for which it is ingress. If there are, then: B) The node determines whether those LSPs still meet end-to-end performance objectives. If not, then: C) The node could then conceivably move affected traffic to a pre- established protection LSP or establish a new LSP and place the traffic in it.Giacalone, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
RFC 7471 OSPF TE Metric Extensions March 2015 If link performance then improves beyond a configurable minimum value (reuse threshold), that sub-TLV can be re-advertised with the Anomalous bit cleared. In this case, a receiving node can conceivably do whatever re-optimization (or failback) it wishes (including nothing). The A bit was intentionally omitted from some sub-TLVs to help mitigate oscillations. SeeSection 7.1 for more information. Link delay, delay variation, and link loss MUST be encoded as integers. Consistent with existing OSPF TE specifications [RFC3630], residual, available, and utilized bandwidth MUST be encoded in IEEE single precision floating point [IEEE754]. Link delay and delay variation MUST be in units of microseconds, link loss MUST be a percentage, and bandwidth MUST be in units of bytes per second. All values (except residual bandwidth) MUST be calculated as rolling averages where the averaging period MUST be a configurable period of time. SeeSection 5 for more information.4. Sub-TLV Details4.1. Unidirectional Link Delay Sub-TLV This sub-TLV advertises the average link delay between two directly connected OSPF neighbors. The delay advertised by this sub-TLV MUST be the delay from the advertising node to its neighbor (i.e., the forward path delay). The format of this sub-TLV is shown in the following diagram: 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | 27 | 4 | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |A| RESERVED | Delay | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+4.1.1.

RFC 7471 OSPF TE Metric Extensions March 20154.1.3. Anomalous (A) Bit This field represents the Anomalous (A) bit. The A bit is set when the measured value of this parameter exceeds its configured maximum threshold. The A bit is cleared when the measured value falls below its configured reuse threshold. If the A bit is clear, the sub-TLV represents steady state link performance.4.1.4. Reserved This field is reserved for future use. It MUST be set to 0 when sent and MUST be ignored when received.4.1.5. Delay Value This 24-bit field carries the average link delay over a configurable interval in microseconds, encoded as an integer value. When set to the maximum value 16,777,215 (16.777215 sec), then the delay is at least that value, and it may be larger.4.2. Min/Max Unidirectional Link Delay Sub-TLV This sub-TLV advertises the minimum and maximum delay values between two directly connected OSPF neighbors. The delay advertised by this sub-TLV MUST be the delay from the advertising node to its neighbor (i.e., the forward path delay). The format of this sub-TLV is shown in the following diagram: 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | 28 | 8 | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |A| RESERVED | Min Delay | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | RESERVED | Max Delay | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+4.2.1.

RFC 7471 OSPF TE Metric Extensions March 20154.2.3. Anomalous (A) Bit This field represents the Anomalous (A) bit. The A bit is set when one or more measured values exceed a configured maximum threshold. The A bit is cleared when the measured value falls below its configured reuse threshold. If the A bit is clear, the sub-TLV represents steady state link performance.4.2.4. Reserved This field is reserved for future use. It MUST be set to 0 when sent and MUST be ignored when received.4.2.5. Min Delay This 24-bit field carries minimum measured link delay value (in microseconds) over a configurable interval, encoded as an integer value. Implementations MAY also permit the configuration of an offset value (in microseconds) to be added to the measured delay value to advertise operator specific delay constraints. When set to the maximum value 16,777,215 (16.777215 sec), then the delay is at least that value, and it may be larger.4.2.6. Reserved This field is reserved for future use. It MUST be set to 0 when sent and MUST be ignored when received.4.2.7. Max Delay This 24-bit field carries the maximum measured link delay value (in microseconds) over a configurable interval, encoded as an integer value. Implementations may also permit the configuration of an offset value (in microseconds) to be added to the measured delay value to advertise operator specific delay constraints. It is possible for min delay and max delay to be the same value. When the delay value is set to the maximum value 16,777,215 (16.777215 sec), then the delay is at least that value, and it may be larger.Giacalone, et al. Standards Track [Page 8]
RFC 7471 OSPF TE Metric Extensions March 20154.3. Unidirectional Delay Variation Sub-TLV This sub-TLV advertises the average link delay variation between two directly connected OSPF neighbors. The delay variation advertised by this sub-TLV MUST be the delay from the advertising node to its neighbor (i.e., the forward path delay variation). The format of this sub-TLV is shown in the following diagram: 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | 29 | 4 | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | RESERVED | Delay Variation | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+4.3.1.

Delay Variation This 24-bit field carries the average link delay variation over a configurable interval in microseconds, encoded as an integer value. When set to 0, it has not been measured. When set to the maximum value 16,777,215 (16.777215 sec), then the delay is at least that value, and it may be larger.4.4. Unidirectional Link Loss Sub-TLV This sub-TLV advertises the loss (as a packet percentage) between two directly connected OSPF neighbors. The link loss advertised by this sub-TLV MUST be the packet loss from the advertising node to its neighbor (i.e., the forward path loss). The format of this sub-TLV is shown in the following diagram:Giacalone, et al. Standards Track [Page 9]
RFC 7471 OSPF TE Metric Extensions March 2015 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | 30 | 4 | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |A| RESERVED | Link Loss | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+4.4.1. Type This sub-TLV has a type of 304.4.2. Length The length is 4.4.4.3. Anomalous (A) Bit This field represents the Anomalous (A) bit. The A bit is set when the measured value of this parameter exceeds its configured maximum threshold. The A bit is cleared when the measured value falls below its configured reuse threshold. If the A bit is clear, the sub-TLV represents steady state link performance.4.4.4. Reserved This field is reserved for future use. It MUST be set to 0 when sent and MUST be ignored when received.4.4.5. Link Loss This 24-bit field carries link packet loss as a percentage of the total traffic sent over a configurable interval. The basic unit is 0.000003%, where (2^24 - 2) is 50.331642%. This value is the highest packet loss percentage that can be expressed (the assumption being that precision is more important on high speed links than the ability to advertise loss rates greater than this, and that high speed links with over 50% loss are unusable). Therefore, measured values that are larger than the field maximum SHOULD be encoded as the maximum value.4.5. Unidirectional Residual Bandwidth Sub-TLV This sub-TLV advertises the residual bandwidth between two directly connected OSPF neighbors. The residual bandwidth advertised by this sub-TLV MUST be the residual bandwidth from the advertising node to its neighbor.Giacalone, et al. Standards Track [Page 10]
RFC 7471 OSPF TE Metric Extensions March 2015 The format of this sub-TLV is shown in the following diagram: 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | 31 | 4 | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Residual Bandwidth | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+4.5.1. Type This sub-TLV has a type of 31.4.5.2. Length The length is 4.4.5.3. Residual Bandwidth This field carries the residual bandwidth on a link, forwarding adjacency [RFC4206], or bundled link in IEEE floating point format with units of bytes per second. For a link or forwarding adjacency, residual bandwidth is defined to be Maximum Bandwidth [RFC3630] minus the bandwidth currently allocated to RSVP-TE LSPs. For a bundled link, residual bandwidth is defined to be the sum of the component link residual bandwidths. The calculation of Residual Bandwidth is different than that of Unreserved Bandwidth [RFC3630]. Residual Bandwidth subtracts tunnel reservations from Maximum Bandwidth (i.e., the link capacity) [RFC3630] and provides an aggregated remainder across priorities. Unreserved Bandwidth, on the other hand, is subtracted from the Maximum Reservable Bandwidth (the bandwidth that can theoretically be reserved) and provides per priority remainders. Residual Bandwidth and Unreserved Bandwidth [RFC3630] can be used concurrently, and each has a separate use case (e.g., the former can be used for applications like Weighted ECMP while the latter can be used for call admission control).4.6. Unidirectional Available Bandwidth Sub-TLV This sub-TLV advertises the available bandwidth between two directly connected OSPF neighbors. The available bandwidth advertised by this sub-TLV MUST be the available bandwidth from the advertising node to its neighbor. The format of this sub-TLV is shown in the following diagram:Giacalone, et al. Standards Track [Page 11]
RFC 7471 OSPF TE Metric Extensions March 2015 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | 32 | 4 | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Available Bandwidth | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+4.6.1. Type This sub-TLV has a type of 32.4.6.2. Length The length is 4.4.6.3. Available Bandwidth This field carries the available bandwidth on a link, forwarding adjacency, or bundled link in IEEE floating point format with units of bytes per second. For a link or forwarding adjacency, available bandwidth is defined to be residual bandwidth (seeSection 4.5) minus the measured bandwidth used for the actual forwarding of non-RSVP-TE LSP packets. For a bundled link, available bandwidth is defined to be the sum of the component link available bandwidths.4.7. Unidirectional Utilized Bandwidth Sub-TLV This Sub-TLV advertises the bandwidth utilization between two directly connected OSPF neighbors. The bandwidth utilization advertised by this sub-TLV MUST be the bandwidth from the advertising node to its neighbor. The format of this Sub-TLV is shown in the following diagram: 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | 33 | 4 | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Utilized Bandwidth | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+4.7.1. Type This sub-TLV has a type of 33.Giacalone, et al. Standards Track [Page 12]
RFC 7471 OSPF TE Metric Extensions March 20154.7.2. Length The length is 4.4.7.3. Utilized Bandwidth This field carries the bandwidth utilization on a link, forwarding adjacency, or bundled link in IEEE floating-point format with units of bytes per second. For a link or forwarding adjacency, bandwidth utilization represents the actual utilization of the link (i.e., as measured by the advertising node). For a bundled link, bandwidth utilization is defined to be the sum of the component link bandwidth utilizations.5. Announcement Thresholds and Filters The values advertised in all sub-TLVs (except min/max delay and residual bandwidth) MUST represent an average over a period or be obtained by a filter that is reasonably representative of an average. For example, a rolling average is one such filter. Min and max delay MAY be the lowest and/or highest measured value over a measurement interval or MAY make use of a filter, or other technique, to obtain a reasonable representation of a min and max value representative of the interval with compensation for outliers. The measurement interval, any filter coefficients, and any advertisement intervals MUST be configurable for each sub-TLV. In addition to the measurement intervals governing re-advertisement, implementations SHOULD provide for each sub-TLV configurable accelerated advertisement thresholds, such that: 1. If the measured parameter falls outside a configured upper bound for all but the min delay metric (or lower bound for min delay metric only) and the advertised sub-TLV is not already outside that bound, or 2. If the difference between the last advertised value and current measured value exceed a configured threshold, then 3. The advertisement is made immediately.Giacalone, et al. Standards Track [Page 13]
RFC 7471 OSPF TE Metric Extensions March 2015 4. For sub-TLVs, which include an A bit (except min/max delay), an additional threshold SHOULD be included corresponding to the threshold for which the performance is considered anomalous (and sub-TLVs with the A bit are sent). The A bit is cleared when the sub-TLV's performance has been below (or re-crosses) this threshold for an advertisement interval(s) to permit fail back. To prevent oscillations, only the high threshold or the low threshold (but not both) may be used to trigger any given sub-TLV that supports both. Additionally, once outside of the bounds of the threshold, any re- advertisement of a measurement within the bounds would remain governed solely by the measurement interval for that sub-TLV.6. Announcement Suppression When link performance values change by small amounts that fall under thresholds that would cause the announcement of a sub-TLV, implementations SHOULD suppress sub-TLV re-advertisement and/or lengthen the period within which they are refreshed. Only the accelerated advertisement threshold mechanism described inSection 5 may shorten the re-advertisement interval. All suppression and re-advertisement interval back-off timer features SHOULD be configurable.7. Network Stability and Announcement Periodicity Sections5 and6 provide configurable mechanisms to bound the number of re-advertisements. Instability might occur in very large networks if measurement intervals are set low enough to overwhelm the processing of flooded information at some of the routers in the topology. Therefore, care should be taken in setting these values. Additionally, the default measurement interval for all sub-TLVs should be 30 seconds. Announcements must also be able to be throttled using configurable inter-update throttle timers. The minimum announcement periodicity is 1 announcement per second. The default value should be set to 120 seconds. Implementations should not permit the inter-update timer to be lower than the measurement interval.Giacalone, et al. Standards Track [Page 14]
RFC 7471 OSPF TE Metric Extensions March 2015 Furthermore, it is recommended that any underlying performance measurement mechanisms not include any significant buffer delay, any significant buffer induced delay variation, or any significant loss due to buffer overflow or due to active queue management.8. Enabling and Disabling Sub-TLVs Implementations MUST make it possible to individually enable or disable the advertisement of each sub-TLV.9. Static Metric Override Implementations SHOULD permit the static configuration and/or manual override of dynamic measurements for each sub-TLV in order to simplify migration and to mitigate scenarios where dynamic measurements are not possible.10. Compatibility As per [RFC3630], an unrecognized TLV should be silently ignored. That is, it should not be processed but it should be included in LSAs sent to OSPF neighbors.11. Security Considerations This document does not introduce security issues beyond those discussed in [RFC3630]. OSPFv2 HMAC-SHA [RFC5709] provides additional protection for OSPFv2. OSPFv3 IPsec [RFC4552] and OSPFv3 Authentication Trailer [RFC7166] provide additional protection for OSPFv3. OSPF Keying and Authentication for Routing Protocols (KARP) [RFC6863] provides an analysis of OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 routing security, and OSPFv2 Security Extensions [OSPFSEC] provides extensions designed to address the identified gaps in OSPFv2.Giacalone, et al. Standards Track [Page 15]
