hi hannes & other authors
As described in [Link-State Info Distribution using BGP] (see Section
3.2.2, “Link Descriptors”), the IP address TLVs (TLV code 259-262) or
the link local/remote Identifier TLV (TLV code 258) are included in the
link descriptor.
“The information about a link present in the LSA/LSP originated by the
local node of the link determines the set of TLVs in the Link Descriptor
of the link.
If interface and neighbor addresses, either IPv4 or IPv6, are
present, then the IP address TLVs are included in the link descriptor, but
not the link local/remote Identifier TLV. The link local/remote
identifiers MAY be included in the link attribute.
If interface and neighbor addresses are not present and the link
local/remote identifiers are present, then the link local/remote
Identifier TLV is included in the link descriptor.”
When the underlying IGP is IS-IS, LSP originated by the local node of the
link MAY NOT include IPv4 interface address/IPv4 neighbor address or Link
Local/Remote Identifiers sub-TLV in the (main) IS reachability TLV when
MPLS Traffic Engineering is not configured for IS-IS (see Section 3.2, “
Sub-TLV 6: IPv4 Interface Address”, of [RFC5305] and Section 1.1, “Link
Local/Remote Identifiers”, of [RFC5307], respectively).
Thus, BGP-LS speaker MAY learn the mentioned link information, from LSP
flooding process, without detailed interface IP/ID information of all IGP
nodes in the BGP-LS domain. If CONSUMER collect link-state information of
whole domain only from one BGP-LS speaker, it can only establish one SPT ,
which root is the BGP-LS speaker. In some case, CONSUMER need create
different SPT for different device. For example, in central spring
network, the CONTROLLER need download ILM entry for a global label to each
router, the ILM forwarding information is decided by each router's SPT. It
is different for different router.
some solutions could be:
1) all IGP nodes in the BGP-LS domain are BGP-LS speakers, where only
local link information need to be collected and sent to CONSUMER.
2) one BGP-LS speaker, but all link are configured MPLS Traffic
Engineering(not certainly including signal configuration).
Do you have any suggestions about this issue?
thanks
