RFC 1364                  BGP OSPF Interaction            September 1992


1.  Introduction

   This document defines the various criteria to be used when designing
   Autonomous System Border Routers (ASBR) that will run BGP [RFC1267]
   with other ASBRs external to the AS, and OSPF [RFC1247] as its IGP.

   This document defines how the following fields in OSPF and attributes
   in BGP are to be set when interfacing between BGP and OSPF at an
   ASBR:

      OSPF cost and type      vs. BGP INTER-AS METRIC
      OSPF tag                vs. BGP ORIGIN and AS_PATH
      OSPF Forwarding Address vs. BGP NEXT_HOP

   For a more general treatise on routing and route exchange problems,
   please refer to [ROUTE-LEAKING] and [NEXT-HOP] by Philip Almquist.

   This document uses the two terms "Autonomous System" and "Routing
   Domain".  The definitions for the two are below:

   The term Autonomous System is the same as is used in the BGP-3 RFC
   [RFC1267], given below:

      "The use of the term Autonomous System here stresses the fact
      that, even when multiple IGPs and metrics are used, the
      administration of an AS appears to other ASs to have a single
      coherent interior routing plan and presents a consistent picture
      of what networks are reachable through it.  From the standpoint of
      exterior routing, an AS can be viewed as monolithic: reachability
      to networks directly connected to the AS must be equivalent from
      all border gateways of the AS."

   The term Routing Domain was first used in [ROUTE-LEAKING] and is
   given below:

      "A Routing Domain is a collection of routers which coordinate
      their routing knowledge using a single (instance of) a routing
      protocol."

2.  Route Exchange

   This section discusses the constraints that must be met to exchange
   routes between an external BGP session with a peer from another AS
   and internal OSPF routes.

   BGP does not carry subnet information in routing updates.  Therefore,
   when referring to a subnetted network in the OSPF routing domain, we
   consider the equivalent network route in the context of BGP.

RFC 1364                  BGP OSPF Interaction            September 1992


   Multiple subnet routes for a subnetted network in OSPF are collapsed
   into one network route when exported into BGP.

2.1.  Exporting OSPF routes into BGP

  1.   The administrator must be able to selectively export routes
       into BGP via an appropriate filter mechanism.

       This filter mechanism must support such control with the
       granularity of a single network.

       Additionally, the administrator must be able to filter based
       on the OSPF tag and the various sub-fields of the OSPF tag.
       The settings of the tag and the sub-fields are defined in
       section 4 in more detail.

       o    By default, no routes must be exported from OSPF into
            BGP.  A single mechanism must permit all OSPF inter-area
            and intra-area routes to be exported into BGP.

       OSPF external routes of type 1 and type 2 must never be
       exported into BGP unless they are explicitly configured.

  2.   When configured to export a network, the ASBR must advertise
       a network route for a subnetted network, as long as at least
       one subnet in the subnetted network is reachable via OSPF.

  3.   The network administrator must be able to statically
       configure the BGP attribute INTER-AS METRIC to be used for
       any network route.

       o    By default, the INTER_AS METRIC must default to 1.

       Explanatory text: The OSPF cost and the BGP INTER-AS METRIC
       are of different widths.  The OSPF cost is a two level
       metric.  The BGP INTER-AS METRIC is only an optional non-
       transitive attribute.  Hence, a more complex BGP INTER-AS
       METRIC-OSPF cost mapping scheme is not necessary.

   4.   When an ASBR is advertising an OSPF route to network Y to
        external BGP neighbours and learns that the route has become
        unreachable, the ASBR must immediately propogate this
        information to the external BGP neighbours.

   5.   An implementation of BGP and OSPF on an ASBR must have a
        mechanism to set up a minimum amount of time that must elapse
        between the learning of a new route via OSPF and subsequent
        advertisement of the route via BGP to the external

        neighbours.

        o    The default value for this setting must be 0, indicating
             that the route is to be advertised to the neighbour BGP
             peers instantly.

             Note that [RFC1267] mandates a mechanism to dampen the
             inbound advertisements from adjacent neighbours.

2.2.  Importing BGP routes into OSPF

   1.   BGP implementations should allow an AS to control
        announcements of BGP-learned routes into OSPF.
        Implementations should support such control with the
        granularity of a single network.  Implementations should also
        support such control with the granularity of an autonomous
        system, where the autonomous system may be either the
        autonomous system that originated the route or the autonomous
        system that advertised the route to the local system
        (adjacent autonomous system).

         o    By default, no routes must be imported from BGP into
              OSPF.  Administrators must configure every route they
              wish to import.

              A mechanism may allow an administrator to configure an
              ASBR to import all the BGP routes into the OSPF routing
              domain.

   2.   The administrator must be able to configure the OSPF cost and
        the OSPF metric type of every route imported into OSPF.

        o    The OSPF cost must default to 1; the OSPF metric type
             must default to type 2.

   3.   Routes learned via IBGP must not be imported into OSPF.

   4.   The ASBR must never generate a default route into the OSPF
        routing domain unless explicitly configured to do so.

        A possible criterion for generating default into an IGP is to
        allow the administrator to specify a set of (network route,
        AS_PATH, default route cost, default route type) tuples.  If
        the ASBR learns of the network route for an element of the
        set, with the corresponding AS_PATH, then it generates a
        default route into the OSPF routing domain, with cost
        "default route cost" and type, "default route type".  The
        lowest cost default route will then be injected into the OSPF



Varadhan                                                        [Page 4]

        routing domain.

        This is the recommended method for originating default routes
        in the OSPF routing domain.

3.  BGP Identifier and OSPF router ID

   The BGP identifier must be the same as the OSPF router id at all
   times that the router is up.

   This characteristic is required for two reasons.

      i.   Consider the scenario in which 3 routers, RT1, RT2, and RT3,
           belong to the same autonomous system.

                            +-----+
                            | RT3 |
                            +-----+
                               |

                Autonomous System running OSPF

                        /             \
                    +-----+          +-----+
                    | RT1 |          | RT2 |
                    +-----+          +-----+

   Both RT1 and RT2 have routes to an external network X and import it
   into the OSPF routing domain.  RT3 is advertising the route to
   network X to other external BGP speakers.  RT3 must use the OSPF
   router ID to determine whether it is using RT1 or RT2 to forward
   packets to network X and hence build the correct AS_PATH to advertise
   to other external speakers.
