Border Gateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS) Extensions for Flexible
Algorithm Advertisement
Abstract
Flexible Algorithm is a solution that allows some routing protocols
(e.g., OSPF and IS-IS) to compute paths over a network based on user-
defined (and hence, flexible) constraints and metrics. The
computation is performed by routers participating in the specific
network in a distributed manner using a Flexible Algorithm Definition
(FAD). This definition is provisioned on one or more routers and
propagated through the network by OSPF and IS-IS flooding.
Border Gateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS) enables the collection
of various topology information from the network. This document
defines extensions to the BGP-LS address family to advertise the FAD
as a part of the topology information from the network.

1. Introduction
The classical IGP (e.g., OSPF and IS-IS) computation of best paths
over the network is based on the IGP metric assigned to the links in
the network. Many network deployments use solutions based on RSVP-TE
[RFC3209] or Segment Routing (SR) Policy [RFC8402] to enforce traffic
over a path that is computed using different metrics or constraints
than the shortest IGP path. [RFC9350] defines the Flexible Algorithm
solution that allows IGPs themselves to compute constraint-based
paths over the network.
Flexible Algorithm is called so because it allows a user the
flexibility to define:
* the type of calculation to be used (e.g., shortest path),
* the metric type to be used (e.g., IGP metric or TE metric), and
* the set of constraints to be used (e.g., inclusion or exclusion of
certain links using affinities).
The operations of the IGP Flexible Algorithm solution are described
in detail in [RFC9350].
The BGP-LS extensions for SR are defined in [RFC9085] and
[IDR-BGPLS-SRV6-EXT] for SR-MPLS and Segment Routing over IPv6
(SRv6), respectively. They include the extensions for advertisement
of SR information including various types of Segment Identifiers
(SIDs) as below:
* SR Algorithm TLV to indicate the participation of a node in a
Flexible Algorithm computation
* Prefix-SID TLV to indicate the association of the Prefix-SIDs to a
specific Flexible Algorithm for SR-MPLS forwarding
* SRv6 Locator TLV to indicate the Locator for a specific Flexible
Algorithm for SRv6 forwarding
This document defines extensions to BGP-LS for the advertisement of
the Flexible Algorithm Definition (FAD) information to enable
learning of the mapping of the Flexible Algorithm number to its
definition in each area/domain of the underlying IGP. This
definition indicates the type of computation used and the constraints
for a given Flexible Algorithm. This information can then be used
for setting up SR Policy paths end to end across domains by using the
appropriate Flexible-Algorithm-specific SIDs in its segment list
[RFC9256]. For example, picking the Flexible Algorithm Prefix-SID
(in case of SR-MPLS) or End SID (in case of SRv6) of Area Border
Routers (ABRs) or Autonomous System Border Routers (ASBRs)
corresponding to a definition that optimizes on the delay metric
enables the building of an end-to-end low-latency path across IGP
domains with minimal SIDs in the SID list.
1.1. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
2. Overview of BGP-LS Extensions for Flexible Algorithm
BGP-LS [RFC7752] specifies the Node Network Layer Reachability
Information (NLRI) for the advertisement of nodes, along with their
attributes using the BGP-LS Attribute; the Link NLRI for the
advertisement of links, along with their attributes using the BGP-LS
Attribute; and the Prefix NLRI for the advertisement of prefixes,
along with their attributes using the BGP-LS Attribute.
The FADs advertised by a node are considered as a node-level
attribute and advertised as specified in Section 3.
Various link attributes, like affinities and Shared Risk Link Group
(SRLG), that are used during the Flexible Algorithm route
calculations in IS-IS and OSPF are advertised in those protocols
using the Application-Specific Link Attribute (ASLA) advertisements,
as described in [RFC8919], [RFC8920], and [RFC9350]. The BGP-LS
extensions for ASLA advertisements are specified in [RFC9294].
The Flexible Algorithm Prefix Metric (FAPM) is considered as a prefix
attribute and advertised as specified in Section 4.
3. Flexible Algorithm Definition TLV
This document defines a new optional BGP-LS Attribute TLV associated
with the Node NLRI called the "Flexible Algorithm Definition TLV"
("FAD TLV" for short), and its format is as follows:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Type | Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Flex Algo | Metric-Type | Calc-Type | Priority |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| sub-TLVs ... //
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 1: Flexible Algorithm Definition TLV
where:
Type: 1039
Length: The total length of the value field (including any sub-
TLVs) in octets. The length value MUST be 4 or larger.
Flexible Algorithm (Flex Algo): Single octet value carrying the
Flexible Algorithm number between 128 and 255 inclusive, as
defined in [RFC9350].
Metric-Type: Single octet value carrying the metric type, as

Priority: Single octet value carrying the priority of the FAD
advertisement, as defined in [RFC9350].
sub-TLVs: Zero or more sub-TLVs may be included, as described
further in this section.
The FAD TLV that is advertised in the BGP-LS Attribute along with the
Node NLRI of a node is derived from the following IGP protocol-
specific advertisements:
* in the case of IS-IS, from the IS-IS Flexible Algorithm Definition
sub-TLV in [RFC9350]
* in the case of OSPFv2/OSPFv3, from the OSPF Flexible Algorithm
Definition TLV in [RFC9350]
The BGP-LS Attribute associated with a Node NLRI may include one or
more FAD TLVs corresponding to the FAD for each algorithm that the
particular node is advertising.
The following subsections define sub-TLVs of the FAD TLV.
3.1. Flexible Algorithm Exclude-Any Affinity Sub-TLV
The Flexible Algorithm Exclude-Any Affinity sub-TLV is an optional
sub-TLV that is used to carry the affinity constraints associated

specified affinities from the computation of the specific algorithm,
as described in [RFC9350]. The affinity is expressed in terms of the
Extended Admin Group (EAG), as defined in [RFC7308].
The sub-TLV has the following format:

Figure 3: Flexible Algorithm Include-Any Affinity Sub-TLV
where:
Type: 1041
Length: The total length of the value field in octets dependent
on the size of the EAG. It MUST be a non-zero value and a
multiple of 4.
Include-Any EAG: The EAG value, as defined in [RFC9350].
The information in the Flexible Algorithm Include-Any Affinity sub-
TLV is derived from the IS-IS and OSPF protocol-specific Flexible
Algorithm Include-Any Admin Group sub-TLV, as defined in [RFC9350].
3.3. Flexible Algorithm Include-All Affinity Sub-TLV
The Flexible Algorithm Include-All Affinity sub-TLV is an optional
sub-TLV that is used to carry the affinity constraints associated
with the FAD and enable the inclusion of links carrying all of the
specified affinities in the computation of the specific algorithm, as
described in [RFC9350]. The affinity is expressed in terms of the
EAG, as defined in [RFC7308].
The sub-TLV has the following format:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

TLV is derived from the IS-IS and OSPF protocol-specific Flexible
Algorithm Include-All Admin Group sub-TLV, as defined in [RFC9350].

TLV that is used to carry the flags associated with the FAD that are
used in the computation of the specific algorithm, as described in
[RFC9350].
The sub-TLV has the following format:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

Length: The total length of the value field in octets dependent
on the size of the flags. It MUST be a non-zero value and a
multiple of 4.
Flags: The bitmask used to represent the flags for the FAD, as
defined in [RFC9350].
The information in the Flexible Algorithm Definition Flags sub-TLV is
derived from the IS-IS and OSPF protocol-specific Flexible Algorithm
Definition Flags sub-TLV, as defined in [RFC9350].
3.5. Flexible Algorithm Exclude SRLG Sub-TLV
The Flexible Algorithm Exclude SRLG sub-TLV is an optional sub-TLV
that is used to carry the Shared Risk Link Group (SRLG) information
associated with the FAD and enable the exclusion of links that are
associated with any of the specified SRLG in the computation of the
specific algorithm, as described in [RFC9350]. The SRLGs associated
with a link are carried in the BGP-LS Shared Risk Link Group (TLV
1096) [RFC7752].

0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

| Shared Risk Link Group Values (variable) //
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 6: Flexible Algorithm Exclude SRLG Sub-TLV
where:
Type: 1045
Length: The total length of the value field in octets dependent
on the number of SRLG values carried. It MUST be a non-zero
value and a multiple of 4.
Shared Risk Link Group Values: One or more SRLG values, each with
a size of 4 octets, as defined in [RFC9350].
The information in the Flexible Algorithm Exclude SRLG sub-TLV is
derived from the IS-IS and OSPF protocol-specific Flexible Algorithm
Exclude SRLG sub-TLV, as defined in [RFC9350].
3.6. Flexible Algorithm Unsupported Sub-TLV
The OSPF and IS-IS signaling for FAD allows for extensions via new
sub-TLVs under the respective IGP's Flexible Algorithm Definition
TLV. As specified in Section 5.3 of [RFC9350], it is important that
the entire FAD be understood by anyone using it for computation
purposes. Therefore, the FAD is different from most other protocol
extensions, where the skipping or ignoring of unsupported sub-TLV
information does not affect the base behavior.
The Flexible Algorithm Unsupported sub-TLV is an optional sub-TLV
that is used to indicate the presence of unsupported FAD sub-TLVs.
The need for this sub-TLV arises when the BGP-LS implementation on
the advertising node does not support one or more of the FAD sub-TLVs
present in the IGP advertisement.
The sub-TLV has the following format:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Type | Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Protocol-ID | sub-TLV types (variable) ... //
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 7: Flexible Algorithm Unsupported Sub-TLV
where:
Type: 1046
Length: The total length of the value field in octets (including
any included sub-TLV types).
Protocol-ID: Indicates the BGP-LS Protocol-ID of the protocol
from which the FAD is being advertised via BGP-LS. The values
are from the IANA "BGP-LS Protocol-IDs" subregistry under the
"Border Gateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS) Parameters"
registry <https://www.iana.org/assignments/bgp-ls-parameters/>.
sub-TLV types: Zero or more sub-TLV types that are not supported
by the node originating the BGP-LS advertisement. The size of
each sub-TLV type depends on the protocol indicated by the
Protocol-ID field. For example, for IS-IS, each sub-TLV type
would be 1 octet in size, while for OSPF, each sub-TLV type
would be 2 octets in size.
The node originating the advertisement MUST include the Flexible
Algorithm Unsupported sub-TLV when it comes across an unsupported
sub-TLV in the corresponding FAD in the IS-IS and OSPF advertisement.
When advertising the Flexible Algorithm Unsupported sub-TLV, the
protocol-specific sub-TLV types that are not supported SHOULD be
included. This information serves as a diagnostic aid.
The discussion on the use of the FAD information by the consumers of
the BGP-LS information is beyond the scope of this document.
However, it is RECOMMENDED that the choice of the node used for
originating the IGP topology information into BGP-LS be made such
that the advertising node supports all the FAD extensions in use in
its part of the network. This avoids the scenario where an
incomplete FAD gets advertised via BGP-LS.
4. Flexible Algorithm Prefix Metric TLV
This document defines a new optional BGP-LS Attribute TLV associated
with the Prefix NLRI called the "Flexible Algorithm Prefix Metric TLV
("FAPM TLV" for short), and its format is as follows:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Type | Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Flex Algo | Flags | Reserved |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Metric |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 8: Flexible Algorithm Prefix Metric TLV
where:
Type: 1044
Length: 8 octets
Flexible Algorithm (Flex Algo): Single octet value carrying the
Flexible Algorithm number between 128 and 255 inclusive, as
defined in [RFC9350].
Flags: Single octet value and only applicable for OSPF, as
defined in [RFC9350]. The value MUST be set to 0 for IS-IS.
Reserved: 2-octet value that MUST be set to 0 by the originator
and MUST be ignored by the receiver.
Metric: 4-octet field to carry the metric information.
The FAPM TLV that is advertised in the BGP-LS Attribute along with
the Prefix NLRI from a node is derived from the following IGP
protocol-specific advertisements:
* in the case of IS-IS, from the IS-IS Flexible Algorithm Prefix
Metric sub-TLV in [RFC9350]
* in the case of OSPFv2/OSPFv3, from the OSPF Flexible Algorithm
Prefix Metric sub-TLV in [RFC9350]
The BGP-LS Attribute associated with a Prefix NLRI may include one or
more FAPM TLVs corresponding to the Flexible Algorithm Prefix Metric
for each algorithm associated with that particular prefix.
5. IANA Considerations
IANA has allocated code points in the "BGP-LS Node Descriptor, Link
Descriptor, Prefix Descriptor, and Attribute TLVs" registry
<https://www.iana.org/assignments/bgp-ls-parameters> based on the
table below for the TLVs/sub-TLVs introduced by this document.

6. Manageability Considerations
The new protocol extensions introduced in this document augment the
existing IGP topology information that can be distributed via
[RFC7752]. Procedures and protocol extensions defined in this
document do not affect the BGP protocol operations and management
other than what is discussed in the "Manageability Considerations"
section of [RFC7752]. Specifically, the malformed NLRIs attribute
tests in the "Fault Management" section of [RFC7752] now encompass
the new TLVs for the BGP-LS NLRI in this document.
The extensions specified in this document do not specify any new
configuration or monitoring aspects in BGP or BGP-LS. The
specification of BGP models is an ongoing work based on
[IDR-BGP-MODEL].
7. Security Considerations
Security considerations for acquiring and distributing BGP-LS
information are discussed in [RFC7752].
The TLVs introduced in this document are used to propagate the IGP
Flexible Algorithm extensions defined in [RFC9350]. It is assumed
that the IGP instances originating these TLVs will support all the
required security (as described in [RFC9350]) for Flexible Algorithm
deployment.
This document specifies extensions for the advertisement of node and
prefix-related Flexible Algorithm information. Tampering with this
Flexible-Algorithm-related information may affect applications using
it, including impacting route calculation and programming. As the
advertisements defined in this document are related to a specific
Flexible Algorithm topology, the impact of tampering is similarly
limited in scope.
