Hi Alexander, Acee, Peter,
Thanks for your prompt suggestions.

Alexander,
I’m also in favor of having something as simple as in OSPFV2.
So, I’m somewere on the same track as you, i.e.
1) a flexible bidirectional check when nbrid=0, similar as unnumbered p2p in 
OSPFv2
2) during next hop resolution, when nbrid=0, pick up the local tunnelinfo iso 
neigbors
ip address.

Thanks,
Dirk

Hi,

I cannot find in RFC 5340 where pair of Interface ID/Neighbor Interface ID are 
used for two-way check for P2P link. RFC 5340 reuses SPF algorithm from RFC 
2328. RFC 2328 says that W should have link back to V, but it also says (in 
footnote 23) that link from W to V does not necessarily matches to link from V 
to W. I.e. presence of two unidirectional links is enough for two-way check to 
be passed. Is it correct?

If yes then, what if OSPFv3 router will set Neighbor Interface ID to 0 for P2P 
link and the neighbor will do the same? How it will be treated by other routers 
while calculate SPF?

Also, Neighbor Interface ID is used as reference for corresponding Link LSA 
while calculating next-hop. Per my understanding neighbor's IPv6 link-local 
address is not needed (as well as neighbor's Link LSA), because LSP will be 
next-hop in this case.

Thanks.

Hi,

Need for advertising of FA by both sides is dictated by OSPFv2 and IS-IS, 
because they 1) check presence of adjacency in two directions and 2) cannot 
distinguish FA from regular P2P link. If latter was possible, then it would not 
be needed to perform two-way check for FA (presence of FA just in forward 
direction means that ingress "link" on remote neighbor is working; otherwise 
LSP in forward direction would be broken). It can be generalized to all three 
protocols: if we can somehow identify link type as FA, we don't need two-way 
check for FA. We also don't need Neighbor Interface ID for FA in OSPFv3 in this 
case.

Thank you.

Hi,

I think that problem here is that two LSPs are two independent unidirectional 
links, rather than one bidirectional. Moreover, LSPs in two directions are not 
pairs (some two LSPs are not associated to each other), and amount of LSPs in 
each direction is not necessary the same. I could assume that some router uses 
Interface IDs for two-way check, but it is not so straightforward when we have 
deal with FAs.

Acee, two-way check could be disabled on the router that is owner of FA, but 
how other routers will distinguish regular P2P from FA?

Good point – all the transit routers need to agree on the interface IDs.

Thanks,
Acee


Thank you.

Best regards,
Alexander Okonnikov

Hi Dirk,

My memory has faded somewhat on Forwarding Adjacency (FA) implementation. 
However, since basic MPLS LSPs are unidirectional, doesn’t the SPF two-way 
check have to be disabled anyway? If so, the Remote Interface ID doesn’t matter.

Thanks,
Acee

Subject: [Lsr] advertising tunnels in IGP

Hi,
In OSPFv2 (and ISIS), we can add (RSVP) tunnels to the topology
by adding them as a unnumbered link in the router lsa.
In OSPFv3, we can only add a link to the router-lsa if the neighbor
interface ID is known.
So it looks like we can only add a tunnel to the OSPFv3 topology,
if we first exchanging hello packets over the tunnel.
Is that correct?
As this is not needed in the other IGPs, do
we have other possibilities?
Thx,
Dirk
