OSPF Topology-Transparent Zone

Overview

RFC 8099, “OSPF Topology-Transparent Zone”, is an Experimental document published in February 2017 by H. Chen, R. Li, A. Retana, Y. Yang, Z. Liu. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document presents a Topology-Transparent Zone (TTZ) in an OSPF area. A TTZ comprises a group of routers and a number of links connecting these routers. Any router outside of the zone is not aware of the zone. A TTZ hides the internal topology of the TTZ from the outside. It does not directly advertise any internal information about the TTZ to a router outside of the TTZ. The information about the links and routers such as a link down inside the TTZ is not advertised to any router outside of the TTZ.
