In  "16.1.1.  The next hop calculation" one have:
            In the second case, the parent vertex is a network that
            directly connects the calculating router to the destination
            router.  The list of next hops is then determined by
            examining the destination's router-LSA.  For each link in
            the router-LSA that points back to the parent network, the
            link's Link Data field provides the IP address of a next hop
            router.  The outgoing interface to use can then be derived
            from the next hop IP address (or it can be inherited from
            the parent network).

Suppose that one cannot find any links that points back, is it a good
idea to treat this case as a intervening router:

            If there is at least one intervening router in the current
            shortest path between the destination and the root, the
            destination simply inherits the set of next hops from the
            parent.
That is, just inherit the next hops from its parents?

Exactly, so you may encounter the scenario below when links are going
down/up until all routers has recalculated everything.

> Therefore, it appears taht the case you are describing can not occur.

It can, so when it does you can either just give up or try
to do the best you can until you find a back link.

No - if the Router-LSA doesn't have a link to the Network-LSA you  
don't use it in the SPF calculation. If fails the bi-directional check.

Hope this helps,

If there is no back link, there is no link, and SPF moves on.  If the  
network is partitioned, somebody should fix it.

Ignoring the bidirectional test rule can lead to loops and black  
holes, particularly if other implementations are following the rules.

The idea here is use some link until the remote end has updated its LSA
to include the "back link" so the intervening router case will just
act as a substitute until next LSA update.

What I wonder is if this can cause more trouble than it solves, i.e what
bad things can happen? Or won't it help at all?

How do you know whether it's a transient condition?

Routing loops and black holes.

Probably not.

Yes, this problem exist for a short while, until the remote
route has updated it's LSA.

hmm, can you be more specfic?

Consider this example:

R1 R2 R3
 |  |  |
 ------- N1

Destination is R3 and R2 is the calculation router. R2 cannot find a backlink
so it falls back to the intervening router case and uses the nexthops
from the "parent", hoping that one of them will redirect IP frames to
R3.

hmm, good question. Have to dwell on that. Assume for now that it will

I don't see that this achieves anything. If the router is reachable  
through an intra-area path, the SPF will find it. You don't want to  
do any second guessing - this will only create blackholes and routing  
loops.

This is an uninteresting case, as there are no alternative paths.   
Further, there will be no "intervening router" in this case, since  
each of R1, 2, and 3 will be adjacent to only N1.  There will be no  
next hops to inherit.  The "intervening router" rule basically just  
points out that if the best path from A to C is through B, the next  
hop to C is simply the next hop to B.  More or less.

Where it can get much uglier is if there is a back path between R2 and  
R3;  other routers playing properly will try to send the traffic  
through R3, but R3 will try to forward it locally.  In this case it  
will probably result in the traffic just disappearing down a hole  
instead of being properly delivered on the alternative path.  But if  
you start playing these games more generally, you can end up with  
traffic flying in circles.

While routing is transiently nondeterministic, "hoping" is a bit less  
rigorous than required.  ;-)  And by "redirect" I assume you mean  
"forward", as "redirect" means something specific (and only applies to  
hosts.)

In the general case, routing only converges on stability because  
everyone plays the game the same way, and the rules are designed to  
make it happen.  If you change the rules or somebody plays them  
differently, it is very easy to break the algorithm.

It's not at all clear to me why this would be interesting, even if it  
worked.  In a modern, competent OSPF implementation (namely, one which  
ignores the rules about repeated LSA generation and is otherwise  
carefully tuned) you will see the other guy's LSA with the back link  
within a few milliseconds anyhow.  In a well-engineered network there  
will be an alternative path anyhow, and traffic can be delivered on  
that path until the new one comes up fully.

Yes, I am just saying that in this particular case I want apply the

hmm, don't you mean "through R2, but R2" ?

But there is no intervening router to inherit the next hops from, so  
the particular point is moot.  But in the broader context, yes, it  
would be possible to simply declare R3 to be the next hop, assuming  
that R2 has heard Hello packets from it on the wire, but as you gather  
this isn't such a good idea.

Yes, my mistake.

Stick with that thought.  ;-)

:) This really wasn't "my idea" to begin with but I figured I should try it out.

X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2009 18:59:51 -0000

I got routers which only have unnumbered PtoP interfaces and I wonder
how to advertise a host route as described in RFC 2328:
[2]It is possible for all of a router's interfaces to be unnumbered
    point-to-point links.  In this case, an IP address must be assigned
    to the router.  This address will then be advertised in the router's
    router-LSA as a host route.

The first that comes to mind is to just assign an IP address/32 to
the loopback or dummy interface and start OSPF on that I/F. However, you
can only assign one area to that I/F. How have other people
solved this?
Ideally there would be a command that lets me assign a
IP address which will be advertised in all areas.

A router must have at least one IP address in it somewhere, be it  
bound to a loopback or whatnot.

There's nothing wrong with advertising it in multiple areas, though  
particular implementations may or may not let you do so.  Putting it  
in only one area and advertising a summary into other areas would have  
the same effect at forwarding time.

Lots of room for implementation choices here.

Yes, do you know of any? I Would be really like to use some existing template.

True, though it would be an odd box that was configured to be in  
multiple areas, none of which were the backbone.

There are policy languages on multiple vendors' routers that can do  
all sorts of stuff.  Or one could imagine having a command that says  
"advertise the loopback address in all areas."  Or you could imagine  
advertising the loopback address by default in any area that didn't  
have a numbered interface bound to it.  Etc.

In chap 9.4 is says:
...
  Routers having Router Priority of 0
  are ineligible to become Designated Router.)
but nothing is said about the priority of the
BDR. Can a BDR have prio 0?
A bit strange if so since it may become DR and DR's does
not allow prio 0

If you follow the algorithm in 9.4, it explicitly discards boxes with  
priority 0 from the DR/BDR calculation.

Hello Joakim, 

Appendix A.3.2 covers this:

Rtr Pri
        This router's Router Priority.  Used in (Backup) Designated
        Router election.  If set to 0, the router will be ineligible to
        become (Backup) Designated Router.

Thanks,

In chap 9.4 is says:
...
  Routers having Router Priority of 0
  are ineligible to become Designated Router.)
but nothing is said about the priority of the
BDR. Can a BDR have prio 0?
A bit strange if so since it may become DR and DR's does
not allow prio 0

I have that working, but there are arguments that this is allowed by

You should use unique IP addresses or unnumber them to another interface
that is up all the time (e.g. loopback, or Ethernet) and make sure that ospf
is running on the interface (loopback or ethernet) that you are using for
unnumbered (do not unnumber one ptp to another ptp)

Why do I have to? What you describe is common practise but is not the
same as one isn't allowed to.

Since there is only a type 1 (router link) in the Router-LSA for each  
unnumbered link, it makes no difference how many use the same IP  
address.

The only OSPF protocol restriction is that you must advertise at  
least one intra-area IP address (via a type 3 link) in any transit  
area you want to be the endpoint for a virtual link.

Hope this Helps,
Acee

Right, but how about multiple NUMBERED PtoP interfaces with the
same local IP address? Then there will be multiple identical
type 3 too.

I'd argue that if your configuration supports this, all but one of  
the interfaces is unnumbered.

Even though it is non-standard, I don't see any problems. I believe  
Dave alluded to the fact that some OSPF implementations may have ABR  
SPF optimizations which can have problems when the same address is  
advertised in multiple addresses - I know fixed some problems here in  
one implementation.

Hi Acee, Abhay,

Based on past experience would you have a guess as to when we 
could expect IANA to assign the mib-2 codepoint for ospfv3MIB?

Thanks,
Paul

hmm, please clarify. I do mean treating each and every PtP
as a numbered PtP link. Is there something that prohibits
this in the spec? Of course not all routers will
be able to handle this but in that case it would be a
limitation in the impl.

Is it allowed to have numbered on one side of the link
and unnumbered on the other side?

Yeah, when one only uses the router LSAs to identify the interface
you are in trouble.

OSPF is a link-state intra-domain routing protocol.  OSPF routers
exchange information on a link using packets that follow a
well-defined fixed format.  The format is not flexible enough to
enable new features that need to exchange arbitrary data.  This
document describes a backward-compatible technique to perform
link-local signaling, i.e., exchange arbitrary data on a link.  This
document replaces the experimental specification published in RFC 4813
to bring it on the Standards Track.

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

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Internet
Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

This document specifies an extension of OSPFv3 to support mobile ad
hoc networks (MANETs).  The extension, called OSPF-MDR, is designed
as a new OSPF interface type for MANETs.  OSPF-MDR is based on the
selection of a subset of MANET routers, consisting of MANET
Designated Routers (MDRs) and Backup MDRs.  The MDRs form a connected
dominating set (CDS), and the MDRs and Backup MDRs together form a
biconnected CDS for robustness.  This CDS is exploited in two ways.
First, to reduce flooding overhead, an optimized flooding procedure
is used in which only (Backup) MDRs flood new link state
advertisements (LSAs) back out the receiving interface; reliable
flooding is ensured by retransmitting LSAs along adjacencies.
Second, adjacencies are formed only between (Backup) MDRs and a
subset of their neighbors, allowing for much better scaling in dense
networks.  The CDS is constructed using 2-hop neighbor information
provided in a Hello protocol extension.  The Hello protocol is
further optimized by allowing differential Hellos that report only
changes in neighbor states.  Options are specified for originating
router-LSAs that provide full or partial topology information,
allowing overhead to be reduced by advertising less topology
information.  This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the 
Internet community.

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


EXPERIMENTAL: This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the
Internet community.  It does not specify an Internet standard of any
kind. Discussion and suggestions for improvement are requested.

   Joakim,
   IP address must be unique and assigned to one numbered IP interface
only. This has nothing to do with OSPF, it is requirement of a basic IP
addressing paradigm and covered in relevant IPv4 architecture documents
(no, I don't have a reference ready).
   This 'limitation' is the reason why unnumbered interfaces were
invented in the first place. If "multiple NUMBERED PtoP interfaces with
the same local IP address" worked well then nobody would bother to have
unnumbered interfaces.

   Note that numbered interface by definition implies the interface has
mask <32 bits and that remote end has IP address from the same IP
subnet. If implementation allows configuration of IP address with mask
of 32 bits or no mask at all then this in fact is just implementation of
IP unnumbered interface where 'master' interface which owns the IP
address is not explicitly shown. Conceptually it would be IP unnumbered
nonetheless and should be treated by OSPF accordingly.

This is the case I am thinking on(numbered with mask=32), but I am treating it
as a numbered interface in some cases and unnumbered in others and it works
very well. The only difference OSPF makes on these two is adding Option 1
in the router LSA for the numbered one and unnumbered sends ifindex.

Perhaps this conceptually a unnumbered I/F but one do not have to advertise
it as such to get a working OSPF domain.

For some time we've discussed adding IPsec support for OSPFv2  
analogous to what we have for OSPFv3. The draft subject draft  
describes how we'd build on the OSPFv3 support to support OSPFv2:

    http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-gupta-ospf-ospfv2-sec-01.txt

What are the current thoughts as far as adding this as a WG document?

Thanks,
Acee
P.S. The formatting issues will be fixed in the next revision.

Hi Acee,

There is at least a little end user interest in this, I think it should 
be a WG document.

Hi Acee,

Before we make this a working group document I'd like to hear what 
real problem in OSPFv2 this proposal is addressing.

With draft-ietf-ospf-hmac-sha we are upgrading the authentication 
algorithms used by OSPFv2 to the same ones commonly used with 
IPSec. While the optional use of AH does authenticate additional 
bits of the IP header, I'm not sure I see a significant benefit in 
that. On the other hand, we lose the replay protection we 
currently have in OSPFv2.

The only new capability I see is the option of encrypting the 
protocol traffic while, presumably, leaving everything else in the 
clear. In my opinion if you really care about confidentiality 
you'll run everything, including OSPF, through an IPSec tunnel.

I'd rather see the WG spend it's time improving RFC 4552 by 
allowing for automated rekeying (at least on P2P links) rather 
than simply copying the existing OSPFv3 spec to OSPFv2.

Regards,
Paul

This document defines a new OSPF Router Information (RI) TLV that
allows OSPF routers to flood their hostname-to-Router-ID mapping
information across an OSPF network to provide a simple and dynamic
mechanism for routers running OSPF to learn about symbolic hostnames,
just like for routers running IS-IS.  This mechanism is applicable to
both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3.  [STANDARDS TRACK]

This would not replace the existing OSPFv2 authentication. Rather, it  
would augment it.

That's a valid question? What is the group feeling on this?

Much of what is going on in this space is not within the charter of  
the OSPF WG. With respect to P2P links, I've thought about defining a  
mode of operation that would relegate OSPF(v3) topologies to P2P and  
P2MP allowing the use of IKEv2 for automated rekeying. In fact, it  
was one of those ideas I meant to propose at an OSPF WG meeting but  
never got around to it.

Thanks,
Acee

Hi Acee,

Though I mostly agree with Paul. The advantage of having something at
the IPsec level is that we do not require protocol specific extensions
as long as IPsec meets the needs as we move forward. an example of
this could be automatic Keying mechanism rather than manual keying.

Thanks,
Vishwas

Using IPSec is great (painful, laborious, voluminous configuration  
aside) if you have a wired network, and static partners. It isn't so  
great if you're trying to deploy an ad-hoc network, and you're not  
really sure from moment-to-moment which of your potential partner  
routers you make be needing to establish an adjacency with. So, IPSec  
doesn't really work for me.

Regards,
Stan

   Hi Stan,
   I appreciate your concern that IPsec is not an option for MANET
deployments but then I can't believe OSPF traffic is the only thing
there which must be protected. Because if user traffic requires
encryption then having OSPF encrypted by its own protocol means is not
really solving any issue. In this case problem has to be addressed lower
in hierarchy, probably devising encryption scheme on radio link level.

   So far I have never seen valid deployment scenario when routing
protocol has to have protection stronger than traffic. Without
understanding of target deployment scenario this looks like me-too effort.

Anton

Authenticating session partners is important for mobile, ad-hoc  
networks. Having confidentiality and non-repudiation for control-plane  
traffic is extremely important as well. Deployment scenarios would be  
something like an ad-hoc network coming together to fight the all-too- 
common California wildfires. You don't want someone hacking into the  
network, pretending to be a routing node. The same notion applies to  
military networks.
