This document defines OSPF-xTE, an experimental traffic engineering

(TE) extension to the link-state routing protocol OSPF.  OSPF-xTE

defines new TE Link State Advertisements (LSAs) to disseminate TE

metrics within an autonomous System (AS), which may consist of multiple

areas.  When an AS consists of TE and non-TE nodes, OSPF-xTE ensures

that non-TE nodes in the AS are unaffected by the TE LSAs.  OSPF-xTE

generates a stand-alone TE Link State Database (TE-LSDB), distinct from

the native OSPF LSDB, for computation of TE circuit paths.  OSPF-xTE is

versatile and extendible to non-packet networks such as Synchronous

Optical Network (SONET) / Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) and

optical networks.  This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.





EXPERIMENTAL: This memo defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.

It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.  Discussion and
