Supported OSPF and OSPFv3 Standards

The Junos OS substantially supports the following RFCs and Internet drafts, which define standards for OSPF and OSPF version 3 (OSPFv3).

• RFC 1583, OSPF Version 2
• RFC 1793, Extending OSPF to Support Demand Circuits
• RFC 2328, OSPF Version 2
• RFC 2370, The OSPF Opaque LSA Option

  Support is provided by the update-threshold configuration statement at the [edit protocols rsvp interface interface-name ] hierarchy level.

• RFC 2740, OSPF for IPv6
• RFC 3101, The OSPF Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA) Option
• RFC 3623, Graceful OSPF Restart
• RFC 3630, Traffic Engineering (TE) Extensions to OSPF Version 2
• RFC 4203, OSPF Extensions in Support of Generalized Multi-Protocol [sic] Label Switching (GMPLS)

  Only interface switching is supported.

• RFC 4552, Authentication/Confidentiality for OSPFv3
• RFC 4576, Using a Link State Advertisement (LSA) Options Bit to Prevent Looping in BGP/MPLS IP Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
• RFC 4577, OSPF as the Provider/Customer Edge Protocol for BGP/MPLS IP Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)
• RFC 4915, Multi-Topology (MT) Routing in OSPF
• RFC 5185, OSPF Multi-Area Adjacency
• RFC 5286, Basic Specification for IP Fast Reroute: Loop-Free Alternates
• Internet draft draft-ietf-ospf-af-alt-10.txt, Support of address families in OSPFv3
• Internet draft draft-katz-ward-bfd-02.txt, Bidirectional Forwarding Detection

  Transmission of echo packets is not supported.

The following RFCs and Internet drafts do not define standards, but provide information about OSPF and related technologies. The IETF classifies them as “Informational.”

• RFC 3137, OSPF Stub Router Advertisement
• RFC 3509, Alternative Implementations of OSPF Area Border Routers
• RFC 5309, Point-to-Point Operation over LAN in Link State Routing Protocols
