   OSPF-xTE: An experimental extension to OSPF for Traffic Engineering

   This document defines OSPF-xTE, an experimental traffic engineering
   (TE) extension to the link-state routing protocol OSPF. New TE LSAs
   are defined to disseminate TE metrics within an autonomous
   System (AS) - intra-area as well as inter-area. An Autonomous
   System may consist of TE and non-TE nodes. Non-TE nodes are
   uneffected by the distribution of TE LSAs. A stand-alone TE Link
   State Database (TE-LSDB), separate from the native OSPF LSDB, is
   generated for the computation of TE circuit paths. OSPF-xTE is
   also extendible to non-packet networks such as SONET/TDM and
   optical networks. A transition path is provided for those using
   [OPQLSA-TE] and wish to adapt OSPF-xTE.


Sincerely,

Sandy Ginoza - USC/ISI
