OIF Liaison on Routing
OIF is incorporating ASON routing extensions defined by CCAMP (draft-ietf-ccamp-ason-routing-ospf)
Additional Routing functionality requested:
Layer-scoped Link Attributes
Layer = VC-3, VC-4
Connections available at a particular layer (alluded in ASON draft)
Attributes (e.g., metric) that differ for a layer
Local Connection Type
CP or TCP (switch or terminate)
Within layer, not multilayer/adaptation-related
Looking for better solution than ISCD/IACD
NSAP format Local Node Prefix
In addition to IPv4 and IPv6 formats
CCAMP action requested
Look for future draft input by interested parties

draft on ASON routing extensions
Draft-ietf-ccamp-ason-routing-ospf-08.txt
Routing information scope
Link advertisement supplements – local/remote TE Router ID
Link attributes
Local adaptation
Bandwidth accounting
Technology specific extensions out of scope
Reachability extensions
Node Local Prefix

Routing information scope
Router ID advertising on behalf of multiple TE Router IDs

Link attributes
Link Attributes
Bandwidth
Metric
Admin group
Diversity (SRLG)
Adaptation
Local connection type
Issues
No way to advertise layer-scoped link attributes
Issues with advertising local connection type
ITU-T layers in an SDH link can include
VT11
VT12
VC2
VC3/STS1
VC4/STS3c
VC4-4c/STS-12c
VC4-16c/STS-48c
VC4-64c/STS-192
Attributes could be identical for all layers supported by the link
Could be different for a specific layer

ISCD for SDH with layer-scoped BW
As tested – expands with technology-specific bandwidth per ITU-T layer, using RFC 3946 signal types

Local connection type
Distinguish between CP (connection point) and TCP (termination connection point)
CP will allow connections to cross, TCP will not
Previous discussion has linked TCP with adaptation and use of multiple ISCDs or IACD
In our case we just want to know if transit is possible

Reachability
ASON routing extension draft allows advertisement of reachability as in draft-ietf-ospf-te-node-id-06.txt
Adds Node IPv4 local prefix and Node IPv6 local prefix sub-TLVs to allow advertisement of blocks
Similar capability supported in OIF testing in exp. Sub-TLV.
Desire from some OIF members to have NSAP format address included as an option
 RFC 1888 originally contained procedure for putting a truncated NSAP address into an IPv6 address format
This was removed when RFC 1888 was replaced by RFC 4548, which only defines mapping from IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to the NSAP format
