OSPFv3 LSA Format

Each ME device in an autonomous system (AS) generates one or more types of link state advertisements (LSAs), depending on the ME device's type. Multiple LSAs form a link state database (LSDB). Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) for IPv6 encapsulates routing information into LSAs for transmission. Commonly used LSAs include:

Router-LSA (Type 1)
Network-LSA (Type 2)
Inter-Area-Prefix-LSA (Type 3)
Inter-Area-Router-LSA (Type 4)
AS-external-LSA (Type 5)
NSSA LSA (Type 7)
Link-LSA (Type 8)
Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA (Type 9)

LSA Header Format

All LSAs have the same header. Figure 7-26 shows an LSA header.

Figure 7-26 LSA header

Table 7-18 describes LSA header fields.

Table 7-18 LSA header fields

LS age	16 bits	Time that elapses after the LSA is generated, in seconds. The value of this field continually increases regardless of whether the LSA is transmitted over a link or saved in an LSDB.
LS type	16 bits	Type of the LSA. The values are as follows: Type 1: Router-LSA. Type 2: Network-LSA. Type 3: Inter-Area-Prefix-LSA. Type 4: Inter-Area-Router-LSA. Type 5: AS-external-LSA. Type 7: NSSA-LSA. Type 8: Link-LSA. Type 9: Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA.
Link State ID	32 bits	This field together with the LS type field describes an LSA in an AS.
Advertising Router	32 bits	Router ID of the ME device that generates the LSA.

Length	16 bits	Length of the LSA including the LSA header, in bytes.

Router-LSA

A router-LSA describes the link status and cost of a ME device. Router-LSAs are generated by a ME device and advertised within the area to which the ME device belongs. Figure 7-27 shows the format of a router-LSA.

metric	16 bits	Cost of the link.
Interface ID	32 bits	The Interface ID assigned to the interface.
Neighbor Interface ID	32 bits	The Interface ID the neighbor ME device has associated with the link. For transit links, the value is the interface ID of the DR. For links of other types, the value is the interface ID of the neighboring device.
Neighbor Router ID	32 bits	The Router ID of the neighbor ME device. For transit links, the value is the router ID of the DR. For links of other types, the value is the router ID of the neighboring device.

Network-LSA

A network-LSA describes the link status of all ME devices on the local network segment. Network-LSAs are generated by a DR on a broadcast or non-broadcast multiple access (NBMA) network and advertised within the area to which the DR belongs. Figure 7-28 shows the format of a network-LSA.

Options	24 bits	The optional capabilities supported by the ME device.
Attached Router	32 bits	Router IDs of all ME devices on the broadcast or NBMA network, including the router ID of the DR

Inter-Area-Prefix-LSA

An inter-area-prefix-LSA describes routes on a network segment in an area. It is generated by the ABR. The routes are advertised to other areas.

Figure 7-29 shows the format of an inter-area-prefix-LSA.

Table 7-21 describes inter-area-prefix-LSA fields.

Table 7-21 Network-summary-LSA fields

Field	Length	Description
PrefixLength	8 bits	Length of the prefix.
PrefixOption	8 bits	The capabilities associated with the prefix.
Address Prefix	32 bits	An encoding of the prefix itself.

Inter-Area-Router-LSA

An inter-area-router-LSA describes routes to the ASBR in other areas. It is generated by the ABR. The routes are advertised to all related areas except the area that the ASBR belongs to.

An LSA generated on a DR describes the IPv6 address prefix associated with the network LSA.
