After discussion with my co-authors and Pushpasis, we are planning on defining an SPF Status TLV for the Node Attribute NLRI analogous to the one defined for Links and Prefixes. However, for the Node Attribute TLV, the status would have an additional value indicating the node should not be used for transit traffic.

                          0 – Reserved
                          1 – Node unreachable with respect to BGP SPF
                          2 – Node does not support transit with respect to BGP SPF
                  3-254 – Undefined
                      255 – Reserved

Comments?

Thanks,
Acee

Hi Pushpasis,
This OSPFv3 R Bit and IS-IS O bit are basically the same functionality. The node is not used for transit but is used for local prefixes.

Hi Chaitanya and Acee,

How about the 'O' bit in Node-Flag-Bits TLV defined in RFC 7752 section 3.3.1.1? I suppose the node can set the 'O' bit when it wants to take itself out from all transit paths. I know the 'O' bit is more related to the scenario when ISIS topology is being exported in BGP-LS. But I suppose we can use that for BGP-LS-SPF as well.

Thanks

Correct like a R-Bit.

I have read this draft and I support it.

Thanks,

Hi Chaitanya,

Exactly what do you mean by node cost out and what use case are you trying to satisfy. If a node wants to remove itself from the topology, it can simply withdraw its link NLRI. However, are you looking for a mechanism similar to the OSPFv3 R-Bit as a Node NLRI SPF Attribute?

   R-bit
      This bit (the `Router' bit) indicates whether the originator is an
      active router.  If the router bit is clear, then routes that
      transit the advertising node cannot be computed.  Clearing the
      router bit would be appropriate for a multi-homed host that wants
      to participate in routing, but does not want to forward non-
      locally addressed packets.

Thanks,
Acee

Hi Authors,
The draft does not explicitly call out mechanisms for node cost out. It would be good to call out mechanisms to cost out a node explicitly.

Thanks,
Chaitanya
