Revised OSPF-TE draft
Folks,
I posted Rev 2 of the OSPF-TE draft sometime back. It is available
in the draft repositories as draft-srisuresh-ospf-te-02.txt.
We now have a working implementation of this draft in a packet network.
TE neighbors are now detected through the Options field in Hello/DD
packets. TE-LSA flooding is limited to TE-only neightbors. TE LSAs
are successfully processed into a TE-LSDB for use by a CSPF path
computation algorithm. I would encourage others to implement and
deploy the OSPF-TE in a variety of networks. I will be glad to offer
any help I could with implementation issues. I look forward to
hearing from you.
OSPF-TE is a single unified TE extensions draft, dedicated to
disseminating Traffic Engineering metrics within a single-area
(or) multi-area packet networks and non-packet networks (i.e.,
usable in conjunction with MPLS and GMPLS alike).
Further, the OSPF-TE protocol does not mandate that it be deployed
in a dedicated TE or a dedicated Non-TE network. The protocol
adapts itself in a mixed network so the TE nodes are not impacted
by the non-TE traffic and vice-versa, effectively making it SLA
enforceable.
Besides having a working implementation, the draft went through a
number of changes in the text and draft organization. Below are the
highlights. FYI.
1. A revised and expanded design motivation section is moved
forward to section 4 (from section 11 in the previous rev!).
2. Transition strategy for implementations currently using
Opaque LSAs is also moved forward to section 6.
3. Reordered the sequence in which TE LSAs are listed.
4. Fixed the error on TE-summary router LSA flooding scope.
5. Text clean-ups in Abstract, Motiviations, terminology
and transition-Path sections.
6. Numerous other clarifications.
Thanks. Have a nice day.
regards,
suresh
