Abstract
This disclosure presents a distributed control-plane mechanism that enables green energy-aware Traffic Engineering (TE) path computation in IS-IS and OSPF-TE networks. A router configured as renewable-energy-powered advertises a new Green Energy Capability sub-TLV in its TE advertisements. Routers in the same IGP domain learn this attribute and build a green-aware topology map. A tunnel-level policy can then constrain TE path computation to green-enabled nodes only. The mechanism is backward compatible and does not require an external controller.
