RFC 5187 - OSPFv3 Graceful Restart

Every requirement this repository extracted from RFC 5187, the tests bound to it, and what a reader has verified about them. This summary is enrolled and gated by ./le rfc check.

Overview

Positive

what Ze has

Tested both ways100.0%4 of 4 binding obligations

a positive test proves Ze does what the requirement demands and a negative one proves it refuses what the requirement forbids

One polarity plus reason0.0%0 of 4 binding obligations

the requirement admits no counter-case, so one polarity plus a recorded reason is the whole proof available for it

One polarity, unexcused0.0%0 of 4 binding obligations

one direction is tested, the other is neither tested nor excused, and nothing states which

No test at all0.0%0 of 4 binding obligations

no test carries the requirement id, whether or not a gap states why

Proven by a recorded break0.0%0 of 8 tagged units

a red was observed once under a recorded procedure, and the unit, the claim and the producer it rested on still hash to what was recorded. The break is not re-run. A test pair is not a proof until one has been observed

Neutral

measures that are neither good news nor bad

Gated MUSTs4of 4 this summary declares

MUST-level requirements the gate HOLDS. A population, not a result: the shares beside it are what says how Ze stands

Out of scope0of 4 gated MUSTs

a {not-applicable} annotation says the obligation does not bind Ze. Scope, not coverage: it is in no share below

The 4 shares marked as a part above are the whole of the 4 obligations that bind Ze: they add to 100%. Proven by a recorded break is a share of TAGGED UNITS, a different population, so it is not one of them.

How to read the colors

A color names what the measure MEANS, not how well Ze scores on it. Green is a good outcome at any value, red is a bad one, and neither a population nor a scope count is an outcome, so both take no color. The number under the label is what says how far Ze has got.

CardTone hereWhy that color
Gated MUSTs neutral no color: a population is a scale, and a larger one is neither good news nor bad. It is the accounting total
Out of scope neutral no color: an obligation that never bound Ze is neither an achievement nor a failure, and counting it either way would be a claim
Tested both ways ok green at every value: a test pair is the outcome this gate exists to produce, and the share under the label is what says how far Ze has got
One polarity plus reason ok green at every value: where no counter-case exists, one polarity IS the complete answer, and a recorded reason is what the gate demands beside it
One polarity, unexcused ok green at zero, RED above it: half a proof with no reason for the other half
No test at all ok green at zero, RED above it: a binding obligation nothing exercises is a claim with nothing behind it, whether or not a reason is stated
Proven by a recorded break ok green at every value: an observed break is the outcome the discrimination gate exists to produce. The denominator is TAGGED UNITS, not obligations, so this share is not one of the parts above
Audit verdicts warn RED on the first weak, wrong or unimplemented verdict, amber while a verdict is no longer current or a gated MUST is unjudged, green when every one is judged sound and current

Enrolment

Enrolled: OSPFv3 Graceful Restart: four MUST-level requirements, all met and tested with both polarities. RFC5187-2.2-1 (Grace Period TLV always in a grace-LSA) and RFC5187-2.2-2 (Restart Reason TLV always present) via the shared grace-LSA body codec (internal/plugins/ospf/packet/grace_lsa.go EncodeGraceLSA always emits both, DecodeGraceLSA rejects a body missing either): TestGraceLSARoundTrip (both TLVs round-trip) and TestGraceLSADecodeMissingMandatory (a Reason-only or Period-only body is rejected). Ze originates the OSPFv3 link-scoped grace-LSA (LS Type 0x000B, gr_restarter.go:295-302). RFC5187-3.1-1 (preserve LSA-ID to prefix correspondence across restart) and RFC5187-3.2-1 (preserve OSPFv3 Interface ID across restart) via the NVS preservation maps PrefixLSIDs/InterfaceIDs (internal/plugins/ospf/gr_nvs.go:41-45): TestRestartFactPersistsAcrossRestart (maps read back intact after a restart) and TestStaleRestartFactIgnored (an expired/cleared restart fact is inactive, so stale IDs are not restored). No SHOULD/MAY requirements are gated.

What the public ledger says

Status: Experimental

What the ledger says is covered:

Restarter and helper behavior for OSPFv3.

What the ledger says remains:

Same OSPF experimental status.

Coverage

BucketCountWhat it counts
Positive and negative tests 4 one part of the gated population
Annotated instead of tested 0 one part of the gated population
One polarity only 0 one part of the gated population
No test and no annotation 0 one part of the gated population
Evidence that runs nightly only 0 an overlay: each of these is also counted by the part it falls in
Gated MUST-level requirements4every gated MUST falls in exactly one bucket above

Positive and negative tests (4): RFC5187-2.2-1, RFC5187-2.2-2, RFC5187-3.1-1, RFC5187-3.2-1

Gaps and untested MUSTs

RFC 5187 declares no gap, and every gated MUST it carries has a test bound to it.

Proof state

A tagged unit reads unproven where no discrimination record exists for it: nothing in this tree has been observed to break it, so the claim its tag makes is unproven.

Extraction sign-off

No extraction sign-off exists for RFC 5187, so no reviewer has walked its text sentence by sentence.

Superseded

No document obsoletes RFC 5187, so its obligations are stated where they were written.
