Configuring OSPF Delay Advertisement

With OSPF delay advertisement, intra-domain link delay information can be collected and flooded.

Usage Scenario

Traditional path computation algorithms compute the optimal path to a destination address based on costs. However, the path computed in this way may not have the minimum delay. For services that have stringent requirements on delay, path computation can be performed based on the delay rather than on the cost to ensure that service traffic is transmitted along the path with the minimum delay. After OSPF delay advertisement is configured, OSPF collects and floods intra-domain link delay information and reports the information to the controller through BGP-LS. The controller then computes paths on the P2P network based on delay constraints.

Pre-configuration Tasks

Before enabling delay advertisement, complete the following task:
  • Configure the TWAMP Light controller to detect delay information.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run ospf [ process-id ]

    An OSPF process is created, and the OSPF view is displayed.

    process-id specifies an OSPF process. If the process-id parameter is not specified, the system creates process 1 by default.

  3. Run opaque-capability enable

    The Opaque capability is enabled on the device.

  4. Run metric-delay advertisement enable

    Delay advertisement is enabled.

  5. Run commit

    The configuration is committed.

Verifying the Configuration

After the configuration is complete, verify the configuration.
