OSPF Advertisement of Tunnel Encapsulations
RFC 9013, “OSPF Advertisement of Tunnel Encapsulations”, is a Proposed Standard document published in April 2021 by X. Xu, B. Decraene, R. Raszuk, L. Contreras, L. Jalil. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Networks use tunnels for a variety of reasons. A large variety of tunnel types are defined, and the tunnel encapsulator router needs to select a type of tunnel that is supported by the tunnel decapsulator router. This document defines how to advertise, in OSPF Router Information Link State Advertisements (LSAs), the list of tunnel encapsulations supported by the tunnel decapsulator.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
