2. Agenda Problem Motivation Solution OSPF protocol details Conclusion

3. Overlay networks CE Blue 1 CE Blue2 CE Red1 CE Red2 PE1 PE2 PE3 PE4 Overlay network

4. Problems Traffic needs to be diverted away from the overlay links when the underlying network devices go for maintenance. It’s difficult to manually configure every remote end to divert the traffic when PEs go for maintenance/upgradation

5. Overlay Broadcast networks CE Red3 CE Red4 CE Red1 CE Red2 PE1 PE2 PE3 PE4 Overlay network over IRB interface

6. Motivation Ease of maintenance Automated upgradation Minimized traffic loss

7. Solution P2P links Advertise a link overload TLV in Extended Link Opaque LSA Remote end identifies connecting link Increases metric to MAX-METRIC Re-floods Router LSA Traffic is diverted away from overloaded link Overlay Link is ready for maintenance

8. Solution Broadcast links Advertise a link overload TLV in Extended Link Opaque LSA DR for the link recognizes the new TLV Removes the TLV Originating router from list of connected neighbors in Network LSA Re-floods Network LSA Traffic is diverted away from overloaded link Overlay Link is ready for maintenance
