Field
Type
Link ID
Link Data
No. of TOS
TOS 0 Metric
For each link, separate metrics may be specified for each Type of Service (TOS). The metric for TOS 0 must
always be included, and was discussed above. Metrics for non-zero TOS are described below. Note that the cost
for non-zero TOS values that are not specified defaults to the TOS 0 cost. Metrics must be listed in order of
increasing TOS encoding. For example, the metric for TOS 16 must always follow the metric for TOS 8 when
both are specified.
Field
TOS
Metric
Description
A quick classification of the router link. One of the following:
Type Description
Point-to-point connection to another router.
Connection to a transit network.
Connection to a stub network.
Virtual link.
Identifies the object that this router link connects to. Value
depends on the link's Type. When connecting to an object that
also originates a link state advertisement (i.e. another router or a
transit network) the Link ID is equal to the neighboring
advertisement's Link State ID. This provides the key for looking
up an advertisement in the link state database.
Type Link ID
Neighboring router's Router ID.
IP address of Designated Router.
IP network/subnet number.
Neighboring router's Router ID
Contents again depend on the link's Type field. For connections
to stub networks, it specifies the network's IP address mask. For
unnumbered point-to-point connection, it specifies the interface's
MIB-II ifIndex value. For other link types it specifies the router's
associated IP interface address. This latter piece of information is
needed during the routing table build process, when calculating
the IP address of the next hop.
The number of different Type of Service (TOS) metrics given for
this link, not counting the required metric for TOS 0. If no
additional TOS metrics are given, this field should be set to 0.
The cost of using this router link for TOS 0.
Routers Links Advertisements
Description
IP Type of Service that this metric refers to.
The cost of using this outbound router link, for traffic of the
specified TOS.
