RFC 9792: Prefix Flag Extension for OSPFv2 and OSPFv3
Recent RFCs 2025-06-13
Summary:
Each OSPF prefix can be advertised with an 8-bit field to indicate
specific properties of that prefix. However, all the OSPFv3 Prefix
Options bits have already been assigned, and only a few bits remain
unassigned in the Flags field of the OSPFv2 Extended Prefix TLV.
This document solves this problem by defining a variable-length
Prefix Extended Flags sub-TLV for OSPF. This sub-TLV is applicable to
OSPFv2 and OSPFv3.
