In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ospf-ospfv3-auth-08.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

Hi, Acee
    Yes, you are correct.

     There are two cases as following when DR election.
 Case 1:
0----------------------------------------------------------------------------> Time
          init->2-way ----------------------- dr election
                                |
                                |
                          Sending Immediate Hello


Case 2:
0----------------------------------------------------------------------------> Time
          init->2-way ----------------------- dr election         |
                                                                  |
                                                                  |
                                                             Sending Immediate Hello

For case 2, the DR election result is same to RFC2328.
For case 1,the DR election result is different  to RFC2328.

In order to keep consistent to RFC2328, we may adopt case2 in immediate hello.

Thanks,
Zengjie

Here, only HelloInterval or     BackupSeen is needed to discover neighbor or convergence. Immediate hello avoids the HelloInterval or backupSeen on the case.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Open Shortest Path First IGP Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: OSPF for IPv6
	Author(s)	: D. Ferguson, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ospf-ospfv3-update-08.txt
	Pages		: 98
	Date		: 2006-3-2
	
This document describes the modifications to OSPF to support version
6 of the Internet Protocol (IPv6).  The fundamental mechanisms of
OSPF (flooding, DR election, area support, SPF calculations, etc.)
remain unchanged.  However, some changes have been necessary, either
due to changes in protocol semantics between IPv4 and IPv6, or simply
to handle the increased address size of IPv6.

Changes between OSPF for IPv4 and this document include the
following.  Addressing semantics have been removed from OSPF packets
and the basic LSAs.  New LSAs have been created to carry IPv6
addresses and prefixes.  OSPF now runs on a per-link basis rather
than on a per-IP-subnet basis.  Flooding scope for LSAs has been
generalized.  Authentication has been removed from the OSPF protocol
and instead relies on IPv6's Authentication Header and Encapsulating
Security Payload.

Even with larger IPv6 packet, most packets in OSPF for IPv6 are
almost as compact as those in OSPF for IPv4.  Most fields and packet-
size limitations present in OSPF for IPv4 have been relaxed.  In
addition, option handling has been made more flexible.

All of OSPF for IPv4's optional capabilities, including demand
circuit support, NSSA areas, and the multicast extensions to OSPF
(MOSPF) are also supported in OSPF for IPv6.

To remove yourself from the I-D Announcement list, send a message to 
i-d-announce-request@ietf.org with the word unsubscribe in the body of the message.  
You can also visit https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/I-D-announce 
to change your subscription settings.


Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
	"get draft-ietf-ospf-ospfv3-update-08.txt".

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in
http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html 
or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt


Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ospf-ospfv3-update-08.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

I feel this version of the RFC 2740 respin is pretty much ready for WG 
last call.
Please take a look as soon as possible. My intent is to start the WG last
call soon after IETF 65 in Dallas.

Hi,
In the ospfV3 MIB I don't see the ospf instance ID being
used properly as the index.
As per the ospfv3 RFC, the entire ospf lsdb, areas and spf stuff
is per instance(though is does not state it clearly).
Each instance is logically a separate entity
from other instance running on the same box.
In the MIB draft:

INDEX           { ospfv3AreaId }=20
            ::=3D { ospfv3AreaTable 1 }

Why isn't the instance ID a index in the area table? When a get
is done, what instance's area is accessed. If the next is done
do you go to the same area-id of next instance? Rather it should be
the next area of the same instance.
Shouldn't the instance ID be the first index in all the tables?

The same is the case with other tables too where the instanceId should
be there.

Thanks,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,

Actually, I believe if one were going to take this approach for
supporting multiple OSPFv3 instances, one would have to add instance ID
to every OSPFv3 MIB table index and make every scalar MIB variable a
table indexed by instance ID.

We had this discussion once before for the OSPFv2 MIB and decided 
against it,
in part, due to the fact that RFC 1850 was already published. At that 
time, the
solution we pointed to was to use different SNMPv3 contexts to access MIB
variables for separate protocol instances. However, I don't believe the 
specifics
were ever standardized.

Thanks,
Acee

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Open Shortest Path First IGP Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: OSPFv3 Graceful Restart
	Author(s)	: P. Pillay-Esnault, A. Lindem
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ospf-ospfv3-graceful-restart-03.txt
	Pages		: 11
	Date		: 2006-3-3
	
This memo describes the OSPFv3 graceful restart.  For OSPFv3,
   graceful restart is identical to OSPFv2 except for the differences
   described in this memo.  These differences include the format of the
   grace Link State Advertisements (LSA) and other considerations.

A URL for this Internet-Draft is:

	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Hi

For the following config in a OSPF router,
...
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 null0
...

router ospf 1
redistribute static
network x.x.x.x ...
...

1. should OSPF redistribute the static default route (0/0) in its ASE ?
2. or OSPF should redistribute this default route only if the command
"default-info originate" is present ?

TIA,
Ramanan

Hi Ramanan,

OSPF redistribution (or import/export) policy is a local matter and not
covered by RFC 2328. 

Thanks,

Thanks Acee.
I was wondering if there was atleast one implementation

Please let me know if there is any such implementation.

General idea is to avoid the static default route redistribution
to safeguard the network.

From section 3.4 of rfc 1587(The OSPF NSSA Option),

  "If a router is attached to another AS and is also an NSSA area border
   router, it may originate a both a type-5 and a type-7 LSA for the
   same network.  The type-5 LSA will be flooded to the backbone (and
   all attached type-5 capable areas) and the type-7 will be flooded
   into the NSSA.  If this is the case, the P-bit must be reset in the
   type-7 NSSA so the type-7 LSA isn't again translated into a type-5
   LSA by another NSSA area border router."


Can someone throw some light on why the P bit must be clear in the case
when an ASBR originates both a type 7 and type 5 LSA for the same
network?

Thanks in advance.
Sunil

The NSSA ABR that originates both the T5 and T7 may not be the 
designated translator for the NSSA and it would be superfluous to have 
another translation of the T7 flooded as a T5 in the backbone.

Note:  You should be looking at RFC 3101 which obsoltes RFC 1587.

Hi Sunil,

Acee may not be able to reply till the evening, so let me give it a try in
the mean while.

"If this is the case, the P-bit must be reset in the  type-7 NSSA so the
type-7 LSA isn't again translated into a type-5 LSA by another NSSA area
border router."

Isnt the reason embedded in the question you ask?

I guess we do not want to originate multiple Type-5 LSA's for the same
destination and that is the reason for the P-bit setting.

Thanks,
Vishwas

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Open Shortest Path First IGP Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Support of address families in OSPFv3
	Author(s)	: S. Mirtorabi, et al.
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ospf-af-alt-03.txt
	Pages		: 13
	Date		: 2006-3-8
	
This document describes a mechanism for supporting multiple address
families in OSPFv3 using multiple instances.  It maps an address
family (AF) to an OSPFv3 instance using the Instance ID field in the
OSPFv3 packet header.  This approach is fairly simple and minimizes
extensions to OSPFv3 for supporting multiple AF's.

	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Does generating multiple type-5 LSAs for the same destination create
problem in any way? The same could happen if multiple ASBRs generate
type-5 LSA for the same network.

=20

Coming back to the context again, consider the following network.

=20

        Area 0                      Area 1 (nssa)
area 2 (nssa)

A------------------------------B----------------------------------C-----
---------------------------------D

=20

Area 2's border router D can be either directly connected back to Area 0
again or through a virtual link.

In this case, if C generates two type-7 LSAs for a network as an ASBR,
the type-7 will be translated to type-5 through B and D at the same
time.

So, two type-5 LSA for the same network will end up in area 0. How is
this case handled then?

=20

Thanks

Sunil

Hi Sunil,

Acee may not be able to reply till the evening, so let me give it a try
in the mean while.

"If this is the case, the P-bit must be reset in the  type-7 NSSA so the
type-7 LSA isn't again translated into a type-5 LSA by another NSSA area
border router."

Isnt the reason embedded in the question you ask?

I guess we do not want to originate multiple Type-5 LSA's for the same
destination and that is the reason for the P-bit setting.

Thanks,
Vishwas

Hi Sunil,

Having multiple LSA's for the same destination are not very useful, though
they do not create a problem.

The topology you refer to looks very interesting but may not ever be that
way in the real world.

Thanks,
Vishwas

HI,

In ospfv3 the intra-area-prefix LSAs have all the prefixes and routing
table

should be calculated using them. Then what is really the use of having

the prefixes of the link in its link-LSA.

Is there a case where the router will not include some prefixes in
intra-area-prefix LSA

but advertise in the link-LSA? I don't see any such case.

=20

Thanks,

Manoj

For broadcast and nbma links, the prefixes in the link lsas are used by 
the DR to construct the intra-area prefix lsa associated with the 
network lsa.

Prefixes for broadcast/nbma transit links are advertised by the DR on 
behalf of the attached routers, and not by the non-DR routers 
themselves.  But if you are asking if some of the prefixes won't appear 
in _any_ intra-area prefix lsa, then no, I don't think so.

Hi Sunil,
I agree with Vishwas. Additionally, since the non-translator ABR/ASBR
is the original source of the route, it makes no sense for the 
translating ABR to re-advertise it
and will only delay convergence should connectivity to the destination 
be lost.

I think I asked the first question in a wrong way, sure that
the link LSAs are used by the DR to construct the IAP-LSA for the
broadcast network.
But what is the use of the link LSAs having prefixes for
P2P links as all the prefixes are present in the router's
IAP LSAs already?? Practically most links are P2P.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Open Shortest Path First IGP Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Multi-topology routing in OSPFv3 (MT-OSPFv3)
	Author(s)	: S. Mirtorabi, A. Roy
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ospf-mt-ospfv3-01.txt
	Pages		: 25
	Date		: 2006-3-9
	
This document describes an extensible mechanism to support multiple
topologies (MT) in OSPFv3. These topologies can be used within the 
same address family in order to compute different paths for different
classes of service, or belong to different address families allowing
an integrated definition of address family with OSPFv3. The extension
described in this document can further facilitate any future
extensions of OSPFv3.

Hi Manoj,

In the RFC 2370 update draft, I added text explicitly stating that link 
LSAs are not
needed for virtual links. I considered saying they MAY be omitted
on p2p links as well but was worried that conceivably an implementation 
could
use link LSAs exclusively for next-hop computation (they are needed for 
next-hop
computation on NBMA links). Are there other opinions on this?

Thanks,
Acee

Hi Acee,
I feel a description could be added to make it clear that:

- the link LSAs are only required for broadcast and NBMA links.
- for p2p links they are not required (or optional)
- and if a link LSA is generated for a link that is p2p,
  then it should not include any prefixes as they are already
  available in intra-area-prefix LSAs.

Even for the implementation purpose, during route calculation,
getting the link-local address on a p2p link though its neighbor
is quicker/easier then parsing the link-lsa of the neighbor
to get the link-local address from there.

Thanks,
Manoj

Hi Manoj,

In the RFC 2370 update draft, I added text explicitly stating that link=20
LSAs are not
needed for virtual links. I considered saying they MAY be omitted
on p2p links as well but was worried that conceivably an implementation=20
could
use link LSAs exclusively for next-hop computation (they are needed for=20
next-hop

So, it looks like it is more of an optimization to reset the P bit in
type-7 LSA in the case of an originated type-5 LSA also by the ASBR.

But Acee, if you look at my example topology below, it still allows for
a case where we could still land up with multiple type-5 LSA for the
same network even with the ASBR going by the RFC rules of resetting the
P bit in type-7 LSA.

Also, don't you think the statement of resetting the P bit in the RFC
should be "SHOULD" instead of "MUST"?=20

Thanks,
Sunil

Hi Sunil,

Let me try to redraw your topology with the link between D and the 
backbone shown to make sure I understand your point:

   area 0   area 1   area 2
             nssa     nssa
A--------B--------C--------D
          |       asbr      |
          |                 |
          +-----------------+
                 area 0

In this case C generates type-7 lsas with the P bit set and floods them 
to B and D in areas 1 and 2 respectively.  B and D will indeed translate 
these into two separate type 5 lsas.  However, this is necessary given 
the topology, as these two lsas are not functionally identical 
(different transit areas).  If, say, D were to not do the translation 
for some reason, then the external routes would be unreachable if the 
B-C link went down.

In the case in which we're talking about resetting the P bit, the 
redundant type 5 lsas don't add any new information, since both would 
use the same area to reach the asbr.

Thanks,
Paul

Type-7 to type-5 translation is done only if type-7 LSA has non-zero
forwarding addresses. So, what extra information does the type-5 LSA
generated by D give to area 0 routers? I would think area 0 routers will
get the same information from type-5 LSA whether it comes from B or D.
As I see, even if D did not do translation, external destinations will
be still reachable even if B-C link went down because area 0 routers
care about connectivity to ASBR (in this case C), which is in no way
dependent upon type-5 LSA generated by D.

Am I missing something here?

	area 0      area 1  =20
			nssa
     A--------B--------C (NSSA translator)
     |       asbr      |
     | 		     |
     +-----------------+
	    Area 0

I am drawing the topology above (the case we are interested in for
resetting the P -bit) to visualize it better.

I see the obvious reason in the above case that database size will
become unnecessarily big because of C translating type-7 into a type-5,
which is the reason mentioned in NSSA RFC that multiple NSSA area border
translators are not recommended. Does the same reason apply to our case?

Thanks,
Sunil

The IESG has approved the following document:

- 'Authentication/Confidentiality for OSPFv3 '
   <draft-ietf-ospf-ospfv3-auth-08.txt> as a Proposed Standard

This document is the product of the Open Shortest Path First IGP Working Group.
 

The IESG contact persons are Bill Fenner and Alex Zinin.

A URL of this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ospf-ospfv3-auth-08.txt

Technical Summary
 
   This document describes mechanisms to provide
   authentication/confidentiality to OSPFv3 using IPv6 AH/ESP Extension
   Header.

   In Open Shortest Path First - Version 3 (OSPFv3) for IPv6,
   authentication fields have been removed from the OSPF headers. When
   running over IPv6, OSPF relies on the IPv6 Authentication Header (AH)
   and IPv6 Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) to ensure integrity,
   authentication and/or confidentiality of routing exchanges.
 
Working Group Summary
 
   There was consensus within the working group to publish
   this document on the Standards track.
 
Protocol Quality
 
  Bill Fenner reviewed this document for the IESG.

It's true that the type-7s and the translated type-5s will have 
forwarding addresses, however they will most likely be different 
forwarding addresses.  This is probably getting into implementation 
details, but I would expect that the type-7 lsa that C originates into 
area 1 will have a forwarding address in that area, and similarly for 
area 2.  The end result is that the two translated type-5s are not 
functionally identical.  One advertises a path through area 1 while the 
other is through area 2, just as if the forwarding address was not 
present and the advertising router id of the translator was used.

Note that the alternate abr behavior of rfc 3509 comes into play here as 
well.  In fact, the topology we are talking about is presented as figure 
2 in that rfc.  For implementations that follow 3509, C won't be 
originating summaries between area 1 and 2, so a forwarding address in 
the other area won't route through C.

I'm not sure I understand that last question.  In the above case, B is 
both an asbr and abr (3509 does not apply).  So, the type-5 originated 
by B into area 0 is sufficient for backbone routers.  For routers in 
area 1, the type-7 is sufficient.  If C were to translate the type-7 to 
a type-5 (with a forwarding address) I don't think it would give routers 
in the backbone any additional information about how to reach the 
external routes imported by B.

I think the basic goal remains keeping the lsdb as small as possible 
(but no smaller :-), especially since type-5/7 lsas can be quite 
numerous.  Or did I misunderstand your question?

Thanks,
Paul

I'd certainly agree here - also you don't really need the next-hop 
address on a p2p
link. However, I'd hate to render an existing RFC 2740 implementation 
incompatible
without at least a knob. I do not, however, see much value to including 
the global
prefixes in the link LSA for p2p or p2mp links. Any other opinions here?

Acee

RFC 3101, and it predecessor RFC 1587, both go to great pain to assure 
only one ABR
translates in order to avoid redundant advertisements. Why wouldn't an 
ABR not want to
take this relatively simple action (clearing the P bit) to avoid a 
duplicate advertisement?

Additionally, you could delay convergence in the situation where the 
external route
becomes unreachably due to the latency of the translating ABR running an 
SPF and
withdrawing the translated type 5 LSA.

Hope this helps,
Acee

For normal ABR behavior (RFC 2328), ASBR C will consider itself an ABR since
it is connected to multiple areas and should clear the P bit in the type 
7 LSAs
originated into NSSAs 1 and 2. Hence, neither ABR B nor ABR D will translate
them.

I checked RFC 3101 and the criteria for mandatory clearing of the P bit is
dependent on whether or not a type 5 is originated as well (see excerpt 
below)
So, I was incorrect in saying that ASBR C would clear the P bit  :^)

   When an NSSA border router originates both a Type-5 LSA and a Type-7
   LSA for the same network, then the P-bit must be clear in the Type-7
   LSA so that it isn't translated into a Type-5 LSA by another NSSA
   border router.  If the border router only originates a Type-7 LSA, it
   may set the P-bit so that the network may be aggregated/propagated
   during Type-7 translation.  If an NSSA's border router originates a
   Type-5 LSA with a forwarding address from the NSSA, it should also
   originate a Type-7 LSA into the NSSA. 

I agree that originating type 7 LSAs into both areas is the correct
behavior and that the respective forwarding addresses will be different. 
Keep in mind that one or neither of the NSSAs will have an intra-area
route to the external route's next-hop address. When the next-hop 
address doesn't correspond to an NSSA intra-area route, the
forwarding address will be selected as specified in section 2.3 of
RFC 3101 (see excerpt below). 

   When a router is forced to pick a forwarding address for a Type-7
   LSA, preference should be given first to the router's internal
   addresses (provided internal addressing is supported).  If internal
   addresses are not available, preference should be given to the
   router's active OSPF stub network addresses.  These choices avoid the
   possible extra hop that may happen when a transit network's address
   is used.  When the interface whose IP address is the LSA's forwarding
   address transitions to a Down state (see [OSPF] Section 9.3), the
   router must select a new forwarding address for the LSA and then re-
   originate it.  If one is not available the LSA should be flushed.

Regarding the initial question

>Can someone throw some light on why the P bit must be clear in
>the case when an ASBR originates both a type 7 and type 5 LSA
>for the same network?

here is a minor thought. When a Type 5 LSA is originated the forwarding address 
is set based on the discussion in RFC 2328 Section 12.4.4.1. This need not (and 
should not) be an address from a directly attached NSSA and could even be 
0.0.0.0. As Acee and others have pointed out, a Type 7 LSA with the P-bit set 
must have a non-zero forwarding address from the NSSA. If one attempted to 
advertise such beasts simultaneously wouldn't the translation process of RFC 3101 
Section 3.2 Step (2)

          ...then a Type-5 LSA
          should be generated if there is currently no Type-5 LSA
          originating from this router corresponding to the Type-7 LSA's
          network, or there is an existing Type-5 LSA and either it
          corresponds to a local OSPF external source whose path type
          and metric is less preferred (see Section 2.5 step (6), parts
          (b) and (d)), or it doesn't and the Type-5 LSA's path type or
          cost(s) have changed (See Section 2.5 step (5)) or the
          forwarding address no longer maps to a translatable Type-7
          LSA.

cause these two originations to thrash? Keep in mind that every NSSA ABR is a 
potential translator. With the P-bit always clear, this is not an implementation 
issue.

I would like to see a minor change in Type 5 originations, namely that a  
non-zero forwarding address must be computed from the OSPF domain's "transit" 
topology. It should never be chosen from a stub area or NSSA. If the true 
forwarding address is in a directly attached stub area or NSSA, the Type 5 LSA's 
forwarding address is simply set to 0.0.0.0; The only exception to this rule 
happens during Type-7 translation. This would eliminate the requirement for the 
last line in

   When an NSSA border router originates both a Type-5 LSA and a Type-7
   LSA for the same network, then the P-bit must be clear in the Type-7
   LSA so that it isn't translated into a Type-5 LSA by another NSSA
   border router.  If the border router only originates a Type-7 LSA, it
   may set the P-bit so that the network may be aggregated/propagated
   during Type-7 translation.  If an NSSA's border router originates a
   Type-5 LSA with a forwarding address from the NSSA, it should also
   originate a Type-7 LSA into the NSSA.

If one really wants this behavior they need only set the P-bit and let 
translation originate the Type 5 LSA. Type 5 LSAs with a forwarding address from 
a directly attached NSSA are never installed (See the last paragraph of RFC 3101 
Section 2.3 Step (3)) on NSSA border routers. Thus they create the potential for 
black holes. I think this is a loose point in the base OSPF spec. While the NSSA 
spec handles it, given all of the available OSPF implementation knobs for 
filtering external advertisements, careful implementation is required. Since it 
is not necessary for feature, why have it?

There are two separate issues here.  The first one discussed was whether 
  global prefixes are really needed in the link lsa for p2p links. 
Offhand I can't think of a case where they are, but I'm not sure I see a 
big advantage in having a special case to omit them.

The second question was whether link lsas and their link-local address 
are required for p2p links at all.  Here I would argue for retaining the 
current specification that requires them.

While an implementation may have a link-local address for it's neighbor 
in the neighbor structure, I think that there is significant 
architectural value in keeping the link state database self-sufficient 
for computing routes.  For one thing, there may be cases where the lsdb 
is being used by applications other than routing and the neighbor 
structure may not available.  Also, as you point out, there may be 
existing implementations based on 2740 that depend on it.  I'm 
unconvinced that the very minor savings of memory and cpu gained by 
omitting the link lsas are worth it.

Thanks,
Paul

Hi Paul,

I tend to agree - the advantage is marginal. The only reason I could
see for putting a single global prefix on a P2P link would be for the
Network Management monitoring applications that ping every
interface in the network.

Thanks,
Acee

That makes sense to keep the link LSA with one optional
Global prefix and omit the rest of the prefixes for p2p. These link
LSAs may also play a role in Traffic-Engineering for OSPFv3 or
other applications.

Manoj

Hello, please help me to understand ospfIfRxBadPacket NOTIFICATION-TYPE
correctly.

As i red in RFC2328 (section 8.2) and RFC1850, this trap should be sent
if router cannot determine which interface it should associate with
incoming packet, right?

Which real life situations can cause this?

Vladimir,

It is not so much that the router cannot determine where the packet came
from, but that the packet came in on a non-virtual link.

Right.

The most common example would be a misconfigured address on a
router. The router generating the trap would not be able to match the
packet source address to its subnet on the receiving interface.

Hope this helps,

Hi, all

I seems that OSPF-MIB and OSPF-TRAP-MIB do not support VRF specific
information.

For example, as ospfNbrStateChange does not contain VRF infomation,
it is difficult to grasp which neighbor state change.

We implemented OSPF MIB (OSPF-TRAP-MIB) with VRF information as
enterprise MIB.

I need standard OSPF MIB (OSPF-TRAP-MIB) with VRF information.

Please comment.

regards,

Hi Pat,

I don't think we need any changes to the specifications to handle the 
situation.
Possibly, RFC 3101 section 2.3 could have explicitly stated that if an NSSA
ASBR must chose a forwarding address it must be one of the NSSAs interface
address but this is implied since the normal forwarding address must be 
part of
the NSSA. The router solely attached to two NSSAs should generate two
type 7 LSAs. Since it is connected to any regular areas, it will not 
generate a
type 5 and the P bit will be set. The ABRs doing the respective NSSA should
originate type 5 LSAs that are not equivalent since the forwarding 
addresses
and possibly metrics will be different.

Regarding all the non-standard area filtering techniques, we don't even 
want to
try and consider them in the specifications since one break all sorts of 
things by
using them.

Thanks,
Acee

I don't think this was the right thing to do.

When you have a separate VRF you have a separate OSPF instance and the
whole OSPF MIB
needs to be instantiated (as well as other MIBs). Multiple instances can
be handled with separate
SNMPv3 contexts and we agreed on this direction a couple years back.

I wasn't suggesting any change to RFC 3101. I thought it already said 
that in Section 2.3 via the following wording:

   Normally the next hop address of an installed AS external route
   learned by an NSSA ASBR from an adjacent AS points at one of the
   adjacent AS's gateway routers. If this address belongs to a network
   connected to the NSSA ASBR via one of its NSSAs' active interfaces,
   then the NSSA ASBR copies this next hop address into the forwarding
   address field of the route's Type-7 LSA that is originated into this
   NSSA, as is currently done with Type-5 LSAs. (See [OSPF] Section
   12.4.4.1.)  For an NSSA with no such network the forwarding address
   field may only be filled with an address from one of the its active
   interfaces or 0.0.0.0...

The non-zero-forwarding address of any Type 7 LSA originated into a 
specific NSSA must come from one of that NSSA's active interfaces. 
Perhaps it could be better worded. But, if you read it carefully ("into 
this NSSA"), that is what it says.

So if a Type-7 LSA is originated for the same prefix into two different 
directly attached NSSAs with its P-bit set, then these two LSAs MUST 
have different non-zero forwarding addresses chosen from their 
respective NSSA's active interfaces.

As for my recommendation, it is an old errata that John and I discussed 
and agreed to years back. I think he had planned to add it to a list of 
minor errata to RFC 2328. Perhaps that already happen. I added the 
sentence...

   ...If an NSSA's border router originates a
   Type-5 LSA with a forwarding address from the NSSA, it should also
   originate a Type-7 LSA into the NSSA.

to RFC 3101's Section 2.4, Paragraph 2, as an interim measure. Otherwise 
an NSSA with multiple ABRs can black hole traffic bound for the Type-5 
LSA's prefix.

I will send the recommendation under a different posting leaving out any 
reference to RFC 3101.

Pat

When originating a Type 5 LSA its forwarding address should never be 
chosen from a stub or Not-So-Stubby-Area (NSSA), unless it is a 
translation of a Type 7 LSA. To do so would potentially cause traffic 
destined toward the Type 5 LSA's prefix to be black holed whenever that 
stub area or NSSA has multiple ABRs. There are several references in RFC 
2328 to the selection of a non-zero forwarding address that read...

  ...when the forwarding address field is non-zero, it should point
  to a router belonging to another Autonomous System.

I recommend the following minor rewording (errata)

  ...when the forwarding address field is non-zero, it should point
  to a router belonging to another Autonomous System and MUST be chosen
  from an area capable of flooding Type 5 LSAs. If no such address
  exists the forwarding address should be 0.0.0.0.

Two such references can be found in Section 12.4.4.1 and Footnote [24]. 
I don't think there are any others. It might also be worth adding to 
Appendix A.4.5. The exception is documented in RFC 3101.

Is anyone working on update to RFC2328? I just had discussion regarding 
architectural constants in RFC2328 appendix B and how much they are 
honoured nowadays. I'd really like to see update to avoid such 
discussions in the future :).

I was referring to the case covered in the next paragraph. If I had my 
choice today, I'd qualify
the text to limit the choice to NSSA addresses. By implied, I meant that 
it was covered in
the paragraph you quote.

   When a router is forced to pick a forwarding address for a Type-7
   LSA, preference should be given first to the router's internal
   addresses (provided internal addressing is supported).  If internal
   addresses are not available, preference should be given to the
   router's active OSPF stub network addresses.  These choices avoid the
   possible extra hop that may happen when a transit network's address
   is used.  When the interface whose IP address is the LSA's forwarding
   address transitions to a Down state (see [OSPF] Section 9.3), the
   router must select a new forwarding address for the LSA and then re-
   originate it.  If one is not available the LSA should be flushed.

Thanks,
Acee

Hi Pat,
Agree with the update. Over the years, I've seen this bug fixed in several
implementations.

Hi Hasso,

RFC 2328 is quite stable. We will incorporate the errata as part of 
going from DS (Draft Standard)
to PS (Proposed Standard). While many implementations have allowed 
modification of the
architectural constants (especially related to flooding), I'm not sure 
we need to document this since
the defaults haven't changed.

Thanks,
Acee

I have one small 2 line errata to submit based on someone's earlier 
posting sometime back about a minor anomaly in 2.5 Step (3). If you like 
this can be done at the same time. Otherwise RFC 3101 seems to have 
stood up just fine. I guess its time to take care of this.

Hello,

There was a hiccup with the ospf mailing list. It should be back up now and
this should serve as a test.

I think it's clear in the context of the section. On the other hand, in 
respinning RFC 2740, I
received a number of comments where a sentense or paragraph is taken out 
of context. I
don't  think the current document is wrong so errata isn't mandatory.

Thanks,

Hi Acee,

Thank you for your comment.

I read these discussion you pointed. I think that it was best way to rela=

te
SNMPv3 context to VRF information.

Hi,all
 On the IETF 65th meeting, I made a presentation about http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-kou-ospf-immediately-replying-hello-00.txt. we can make a conclusion that immediate hello is very useful.There is a question about immediate hello interoperability. I answer it as following.

 Only all OSPF routers(include various vendors) support immediate hello, the benefits of immediate hello can be exhibited. If certain router does not support immediate hello in an ospf domain, the convergence time(on p2p networks) or recovery time(on boardcast or NBMA networks) will be same to the level with normal hello and additional hello packets will be increased. Therefore, it is necessary that immediate hello interoperability.
 In present, many implementations is part of immediate hello. If these implementations all follow immediate hello, the effect is more obvious.

Thanks
Zengjie

Folks,

Later today I will be moving the ospf mailing list to a new (and permanent)
address. All those who are subscribed to the list at 3PM (US pacific time)
will be autosubscribed to the new list and unsubscribed from the old list.
I would therefore recommend (a) refraining from sending technical emails to
the list till you see a followup "all clear" message from me (b) sending me
private email at dube.rohit@gmail.com if see any problems with the mailing
list migration.

Thank you,
--rohit.

PS: When I subscribe you to the new list, the mailing list software will
send you a password for the new list along with a welcome message. Please
store that message in a safe folder for future reference.
