Border Gateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS) Extensions for Segment
Routing over IPv6 (SRv6)
Abstract
Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) allows for a flexible definition of
end-to-end paths within various topologies by encoding paths as
sequences of topological or functional sub-paths called "segments".
These segments are advertised by various protocols such as BGP, IS-
IS, and OSPFv3.
This document defines extensions to BGP - Link State (BGP-LS) to
advertise SRv6 segments along with their behaviors and other
attributes via BGP. The BGP-LS address-family solution for SRv6
described in this document is similar to BGP-LS for SR for the MPLS
data plane, which is defined in RFC 9085.

1. Introduction
SRv6 refers to Segment Routing instantiated on the IPv6 data plane
[RFC8402]. An SRv6 segment is often referred to by its SRv6 Segment
Identifier (SID).
The network programming paradigm [RFC8986] is central to SRv6. It
describes how different behaviors can be bound to SIDs and how a
network program can be expressed as a combination of SIDs.
An SRv6-capable node maintains all the SRv6 segments explicitly
instantiated locally.
The IS-IS and OSPFv3 link-state routing protocols have been extended
to advertise some of these SRv6 SIDs and SRv6-related information
[RFC9352] [RFC9513]. Other SRv6 SIDs may be instantiated on a node
via other mechanisms for topological or service functionalities.
The advertisement of SR-related information along with the topology
is specified in [RFC9085] for the MPLS data plane instantiation (SR-
MPLS) and in [RFC9086] for BGP Egress Peer Engineering (EPE). On
similar lines, introducing the SRv6-related information in BGP-LS
allows consumer applications that require topological visibility to
also receive the SRv6 SIDs from nodes across an IGP domain or even
across Autonomous Systems (ASes) as required. This allows
applications to leverage the SRv6 capabilities for network
programming.
The identifying key of each link-state object, namely a node, link,
or prefix, is encoded in the Network Layer Reachability Information
(NLRI), and the properties of the object are encoded in the BGP-LS
Attribute [RFC7752].
This document describes extensions to BGP-LS to advertise the SRv6
SIDs and other SRv6 information from all the SRv6-capable nodes in
the IGP domain when sourced from link-state routing protocols and
directly from individual SRv6-capable nodes (e.g., when sourced from
BGP for EPE).
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. BGP-LS Extensions for SRv6
BGP-LS [RFC7752] defines the Node, Link, and Prefix Link-State NLRI
types and the advertisement of their attributes via BGP.
When a BGP-LS router advertises topology information that it sources
from the underlying link-state routing protocol, it derives the
corresponding SRv6 information from the SRv6 extensions for IS-IS
[RFC9352] or OSPFv3 [RFC9513] as applicable. In practice, this
derivation comprises a simple copy of the relevant fields from the
IS-IS or OSPFv3 TLV/sub-TLV into the fields of the corresponding BGP-
LS TLV/sub-TLV. When a BGP-LS router advertises topology information
from the BGP routing protocol (e.g., for EPE) or advertises SRv6 SIDs
associated with a node using Direct as the Protocol-ID, it derives
the SRv6 information from the local node. Such information is
advertised only on behalf of the local router, in contrast to the
advertisement of information from all nodes of an IGP domain when
sourced from a link-state routing protocol.
The SRv6 information pertaining to a node is advertised via the BGP-
LS Node NLRI using the BGP-LS Attribute TLVs as follows:
* The SRv6 capabilities of the node are advertised via the SRv6
Capabilities TLV (Section 3.1).
* Maximum SID Depth (MSD) types introduced for SRv6 are advertised
(Section 3.2) using the Node MSD TLV specified in [RFC8814].
* Algorithm support for SRv6 is advertised via the SR-Algorithm TLV
specified in [RFC9085].
The SRv6 information pertaining to a link is advertised via the BGP-
LS Link NLRI using the BGP-LS Attribute TLVs as follows:
* The SRv6 SID of the IGP Adjacency SID or the BGP EPE Peer
Adjacency SID [RFC8402] is advertised via the SRv6 End.X SID TLV
introduced in this document (Section 4.1).
* The SRv6 SID of the IGP Adjacency SID to a non-Designated Router
(DR) or non-Designated Intermediate System (DIS) [RFC8402] is
advertised via the SRv6 LAN End.X SID TLV introduced in this
document (Section 4.2).
* MSD types introduced for SRv6 are advertised (Section 4.3) using
the Link MSD TLV specified in [RFC8814].
The SRv6 information pertaining to a prefix is advertised via the
BGP-LS Prefix NLRI using the BGP-LS Attribute TLVs as follows:
* The SRv6 Locator is advertised via the SRv6 Locator TLV introduced
in this document (Section 5.1).
* The attributes of the SRv6 Locator are advertised via the Prefix
Attribute Flags TLV specified in [RFC9085].
The SRv6 SIDs associated with the node are advertised using the BGP-
LS SRv6 SID NLRI introduced in this document (Section 6). This
enables the BGP-LS encoding to scale to cover a potentially large set
of SRv6 SIDs instantiated on a node with the granularity of
individual SIDs and without affecting the size and scalability of the
BGP-LS updates. If the SRv6 SIDs had been advertised within the BGP-
LS Link Attribute associated with the existing Node NLRI, the BGP-LS
update would have grown rather large with the increase in SRv6 SIDs
on the node and would have also required a large update message to be
generated for any change, even a change to a single SRv6 SID. BGP-LS
Attribute TLVs for the SRv6 SID NLRI are introduced in this document
as follows:
* The Endpoint behavior of the SRv6 SID is advertised via the SRv6
Endpoint Behavior TLV (Section 7.1).
* The BGP EPE Peer Node context for a PeerNode SID and the Peer Set
context for a PeerSet SID [RFC8402] are advertised via the SRv6
BGP PeerNode SID TLV (Section 7.2).
Subsequent sections of this document specify the encoding and usage
of these extensions. All the TLVs introduced follow the formats and
common field definitions provided in [RFC7752].
3. SRv6 Node Attributes
The SRv6 attributes of a node are advertised using the BGP-LS
Attribute TLVs defined in this section and associated with the BGP-LS
Node NLRI.
3.1. SRv6 Capabilities TLV
This BGP-LS Attribute TLV is used to announce the SRv6 capabilities
of the node along with the BGP-LS Node NLRI and indicates the SRv6
support by the node. A single instance of this TLV MUST be included
in the BGP-LS Attribute for each SRv6-capable node. The IS-IS SRv6
Capabilities sub-TLV [RFC9352] and the OSPFv3 SRv6 Capabilities TLV
[RFC9513] that map to this BGP-LS TLV are specified with the ability
to carry optional sub-sub-TLVs and sub-TLVs. However, no such
extensions are currently defined. Moreover, the SRv6 Capabilities
TLV defined below is not extensible. As a result, it is expected
that any extensions will be introduced as top-level TLVs in the BGP-
LS Attribute. The SRv6 Capabilities 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

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 1: SRv6 Capabilities TLV Format
where:
Type: 1038
Length: 4
Flags: 2-octet field. The flags are copied from the IS-IS SRv6
Capabilities sub-TLV (Section 2 of [RFC9352]) or from the OSPFv3
SRv6 Capabilities TLV (Section 2 of [RFC9513]) in the case of IS-
IS or OSPFv3, respectively.
Reserved: 2-octet field that MUST be set to 0 when originated and
ignored on receipt.
3.2. SRv6 Node MSD Types
The Node MSD TLV [RFC8814] of the BGP-LS Attribute of the Node NLRI
is also used to advertise the limits and the Segment Routing Header
(SRH) [RFC8754] operations supported by the SRv6-capable node. The
SRv6 MSD types specified in Section 4 of [RFC9352] are also used with
the BGP-LS Node MSD TLV, as these code points are shared between the
IS-IS, OSPF, and BGP-LS protocols. The description and semantics of
these new MSD types for BGP-LS are identical to those specified in
[RFC9352].
Each MSD type is encoded in the BGP-LS Node MSD TLV as a one-octet
type followed by a one-octet value as derived from the IS-IS or
OSPFv3 Node MSD advertisements specified in [RFC8814].
4. SRv6 Link Attributes
SRv6 attributes and SIDs associated with a link or adjacency are
advertised using the BGP-LS Attribute TLVs defined in this section
and associated with the BGP-LS Link NLRI.
4.1. SRv6 End.X SID TLV
The SRv6 End.X SID TLV is used to advertise the SRv6 SIDs associated
with an IGP Adjacency SID behavior that correspond to a point-to-
point or point-to-multipoint link or adjacency of the node running
the IS-IS or OSPFv3 protocols. The information advertised via this
TLV is derived from the IS-IS SRv6 End.X SID sub-TLV (Section 8.1 of
[RFC9352]) or the OSPFv3 SRv6 End.X SID sub-TLV (Section 9.1 of
[RFC9513]) in the case of IS-IS or OSPFv3, respectively. This TLV
can also be used to advertise the SRv6 SID corresponding to the
underlying Layer 2 member links for a Layer 3 bundle interface as a
sub-TLV of the L2 Bundle Member Attribute TLV [RFC9085].
This TLV is also used by BGP-LS to advertise the BGP EPE Peer
Adjacency SID for SRv6 on the same lines as specified for SR-MPLS in
[RFC9086]. The SRv6 SID for the BGP Peer Adjacency using End.X
behaviors (viz. End.X, End.X with PSP, End.X with USP, and End.X with
PSP & USP) [RFC8986] indicates the cross-connect to a specific Layer
3 link to the specific BGP session peer (neighbor).
More than one instance of this TLV (one for each SRv6 End.X SID) can
be included in the BGP-LS Attribute.
The 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

where:
Type: 1106
Length: variable
Endpoint Behavior: 2-octet field. The Endpoint behavior code point
for this SRv6 SID as defined in Section 10.2 of [RFC8986].
Flags: 1 octet of flags. The flags are copied from the IS-IS SRv6
End.X SID sub-TLV (Section 8.1 of [RFC9352]) or the OSPFv3 SRv6
End.X SID sub-TLV (Section 9.1 of [RFC9513]) in the case of IS-IS
or OSPFv3, respectively. In the case of the BGP EPE Peer
Adjacency SID, the flags are as defined in Section 7.2.
Algorithm: 1-octet field. Algorithm associated with the SID.
Weight: 1-octet field. The value represents the weight of the SID
for the purpose of load balancing. The use of the weight is
defined in [RFC8402].
Reserved: 1-octet field that MUST be set to 0 when originated and
ignored on receipt.
SID: 16-octet field. This field encodes the advertised SRv6 SID as
a 128-bit value.
Sub-TLVs: Used to advertise sub-TLVs that provide additional
attributes for the specific SRv6 SID. This document defines one
in Section 8.
4.2. SRv6 LAN End.X SID TLV
For a LAN interface, an IGP node ordinarily announces only its
adjacency to the IS-IS pseudonode (or the equivalent OSPF DR). The
information advertised via this TLV is derived from the IS-IS SRv6
LAN End.X SID sub-TLV (Section 8.2 of [RFC9352]) or the OSPFv3 SRv6
LAN End.X SID sub-TLV (Section 9.2 of [RFC9513]) in the case of IS-IS
or OSPFv3, respectively. The SRv6 LAN End.X SID TLV allows a node to
announce the SRv6 SID corresponding to its adjacencies to all other
(i.e., non-DIS or non-DR) nodes attached to the LAN in a single
instance of the BGP-LS Link NLRI. Without this TLV, multiple BGP-LS
Link NLRIs would need to be originated, one for each neighbor, to
advertise the SRv6 End.X SID TLVs for those non-DIS/non-DR neighbors.
The SRv6 SID for these IGP adjacencies using the End.X behaviors
(viz. End.X, End.X with PSP, End.X with USP, and End.X with PSP &
USP) [RFC8986] are advertised using the SRv6 LAN End.X SID TLV.
More than one instance of this TLV (one for each SRv6 LAN End.X SID)
can be included in the BGP-LS Attribute.
The BGP-LS IS-IS SRv6 LAN End.X SID and BGP-LS OSPFv3 SRv6 LAN End.X
SID TLVs have 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

LAN End.X SID sub-TLV (Section 8.2 of [RFC9352]) or the OSPFv3
SRv6 LAN End.X SID sub-TLV (Section 9.2 of [RFC9513]) in the case
of IS-IS or OSPFv3, respectively.
Algorithm: 1-octet field. Algorithm associated with the SID.
Weight: 1-octet field. The value represents the weight of the SID
for the purpose of load balancing.
Reserved: 1-octet field that MUST be set to 0 when originated and

Neighbor ID: 6 octets of Neighbor System-ID in the IS-IS SRv6 LAN
End.X SID TLV or 4 octets of Neighbor Router-ID in the OSPFv3 SRv6
LAN End.X SID TLV.
SID: 16-octet field. This field encodes the advertised SRv6 SID as
a 128-bit value.
Sub-TLVs: Used to advertise sub-TLVs that provide additional
attributes for the specific SRv6 SID. This document defines one
in Section 8.
4.3. SRv6 Link MSD Types
The Link MSD TLV [RFC8814] of the BGP-LS Attribute of the Link NLRI
is also used to advertise the limits and the SRH operations supported
on the specific link by the SRv6-capable node. The SRv6 MSD types
specified in Section 4 of [RFC9352] are also used with the BGP-LS
Link MSD TLV, as these code points are shared between the IS-IS,
OSPF, and BGP-LS protocols. The description and semantics of these
new MSD types for BGP-LS are identical as specified in [RFC9352].
Each MSD type is encoded in the BGP-LS Link MSD TLV as a one-octet
type followed by a one-octet value as derived from the IS-IS or
OSPFv3 Link MSD advertisements specified in [RFC8814].
5. SRv6 Prefix Attributes
SRv6 attributes with an IPv6 prefix are advertised using the BGP-LS
Attribute TLVs defined in this section and associated with the BGP-LS
Prefix NLRI.
5.1. SRv6 Locator TLV
As specified in [RFC8986], an SRv6 SID comprises locator, function,
and argument parts.
A node is provisioned with one or more locators supported by that
node. Locators are covering prefixes for the set of SIDs provisioned
on that node. Each locator is advertised as a BGP-LS Prefix NLRI
object along with the SRv6 Locator TLV in its BGP-LS Attribute.
The information advertised via this TLV is derived from the IS-IS
SRv6 Locator TLV (Section 7.1 of [RFC9352]) or the OSPFv3 SRv6
Locator TLV (Section 7.1 of [RFC9513]) in the case of IS-IS or
OSPFv3, respectively.
The IPv6 Prefix matching the locator may also be advertised as prefix
reachability by the underlying routing protocol. In this case, the
Prefix NLRI would also be associated with the Prefix Metric TLV
[RFC7752] that carries the routing metric for this prefix. A Prefix
NLRI that has been advertised with a SRv6 Locator TLV is also
considered a normal routing prefix (i.e., prefix reachability) only
when there is also a Prefix Metric TLV (TLV 1155) associated with it.
Otherwise, it is only considered an SRv6 Locator advertisement.
EID 7737 (Verified) is as follows:Section: 5.1
Original Text:
The IPv6 Prefix matching the locator may also be advertised as prefix
reachability by the underlying routing protocol. In this case, the
Prefix NLRI would also be associated with the Prefix Metric TLV
[RFC7752] that carries the routing metric for this prefix. A Prefix
NLRI that has been advertised with a SRv6 Locator TLV is also
considered a normal routing prefix (i.e., prefix reachability) only
when there is also an IGP Metric TLV (TLV 1095) associated it.
Otherwise, it is only considered an SRv6 Locator advertisement.
Corrected Text:
The IPv6 Prefix matching the locator may also be advertised as prefix
reachability by the underlying routing protocol. In this case, the
Prefix NLRI would also be associated with the Prefix Metric TLV
[RFC7752] that carries the routing metric for this prefix. A Prefix
NLRI that has been advertised with a SRv6 Locator TLV is also
considered a normal routing prefix (i.e., prefix reachability) only
when there is also a Prefix Metric TLV (TLV 1155) associated with it.
Otherwise, it is only considered an SRv6 Locator advertisement.
Notes:
The current text is referring to the wrong BGP-LS TLV. Since the SRv6 Locator TLV is associated with a Prefix NLRI, the "Prefix Metric TLV (TLV 1155)" should be referenced here since the "IGP metric TLV (TLV 1095)" is associated with a Link NLRI.
Verifier note: In addition to the fix proposed by Ketan, I added a preposition: "associated with it".
The SRv6 Locator 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

6. SRv6 SID NLRI
The Link-State NLRI defined in [RFC7752] is extended to carry the
SRv6 SID information.
This document defines the following new Link-State NLRI type for SRv6
SID information: SRv6 SID NLRI (type 6).
The SRv6 SIDs associated with the node are advertised using the BGP-
LS SRv6 SID NLRI.
This new NLRI type 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

local node as defined in [RFC7752] for IGPs, the Direct Protocol-
ID, and the Static configuration Protocol-ID or as defined in
[RFC9086] for BGP.
SRv6 SID Descriptors: Set of SRv6 SID Descriptor TLVs. This field
MUST contain a single SRv6 SID Information TLV (Section 6.1) and
MAY contain the Multi-Topology Identifier TLV [RFC7752].
New TLVs for advertisement within the BGP-LS Attribute [RFC7752] are
defined in Section 7 to carry the attributes of an SRv6 SID.
6.1. SRv6 SID Information TLV
An SRv6 SID that is associated with the node and advertised using the
SRv6 SID NLRI is encoded using the SRv6 SID Information TLV.
When advertising the SRv6 SIDs from the IGPs, the SID information is
derived from the IS-IS SRv6 End SID sub-TLV (Section 7.2 of
[RFC9352]) or the OSPFv3 SRv6 End SID sub-TLV (Section 8 of
[RFC9513]) in the case of IS-IS or OSPFv3, respectively.
The TLV carries the SRv6 SIDs corresponding to the BGP PeerNode and
PeerSet SIDs [RFC8402] when SRv6 BGP EPE functionality is enabled in
BGP.
The TLV has the following format:

Figure 6: SRv6 SID Information TLV Format
where:
Type: 518
Length: 16
SID: 16-octet field. This field encodes the advertised SRv6 SID as
a 128-bit value.
7. SRv6 SID Attributes
This section specifies the TLVs to be carried in the BGP Link State
Attribute associated with the BGP-LS SRv6 SID NLRI.
7.1. SRv6 Endpoint Behavior TLV
Each SRv6 SID instantiated on an SRv6-capable node has specific
instructions (called "behavior") bound to it. [RFC8986] describes
how behaviors are bound to a SID and also defines the initial set of
well-known behaviors.
The SRv6 Endpoint Behavior TLV is a mandatory TLV that MUST be
included in the BGP-LS Attribute associated with the BGP-LS SRv6 SID
NLRI.
When advertising the SRv6 SIDs from the IGPs, the Endpoint behavior,
Flags, and Algorithm are derived from the IS-IS SRv6 End SID sub-TLV
(Section 7.2 of [RFC9352]) or the OSPFv3 SRv6 End SID sub-TLV
(Section 8 of [RFC9513]) in the case of IS-IS or OSPFv3,
respectively.
When advertising the SRv6 SIDs corresponding to the BGP EPE
functionality, the Endpoint behavior corresponds to End.X and similar
behaviors. When advertising the SRv6 SIDs that are locally
instantiated on the node using Direct as the Protocol-ID, the
Endpoint behavior corresponds to any SRv6 Endpoint behavior
associated with the node. Flags are currently not defined. The
algorithm value MUST be 0 unless an algorithm is associated locally
with the SRv6 Locator from which the SID is allocated.
The 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

| Endpoint Behavior | Flags | Algorithm |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 7: SRv6 Endpoint Behavior TLV
where:
Type: 1250
Length: 4
Endpoint Behavior: 2-octet field. The Endpoint behavior code point
for this SRv6 SID. Values are from the "SRv6 Endpoint Behaviors"
IANA registry (Section 10.2 of [RFC8986]).
Flags: 1 octet of flags. The flags map to the IS-IS or OSPFv3
encodings when advertising SRv6 SIDs corresponding to IGPs. No
flags are currently defined for SRv6 SIDs corresponding to BGP EPE
or for advertisement of a SRv6 SID using Direct as the Protocol-
ID. Undefined flags MUST be set to 0 when originating and ignored
on receipt.
Algorithm: 1-octet field. Algorithm associated with the SID.
7.2. SRv6 BGP PeerNode SID TLV
The BGP PeerNode and PeerSet SIDs for SR-MPLS are specified in
[RFC9086]. Similar Peer Node and Peer Set functionality can be
realized with SRv6 using SIDs with END.X behavior. Refer to
Appendix A for some differences between the signaling of these SIDs
in SR-MPLS and SRv6. The SRv6 BGP PeerNode SID TLV is a mandatory
TLV for use in the BGP-LS Attribute for an SRv6 SID NLRI advertised
by BGP for the EPE functionality. This TLV MUST be included along
with SRv6 SIDs that are associated with the BGP PeerNode or PeerSet
functionality.
The 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

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 9: SRv6 BGP EPE SID Flags Format
B-Flag: Backup Flag. If set, the SID is eligible to be protected
using Fast Reroute (FRR). The computation of the backup
forwarding path and its association with the forwarding entry
for the Peer BGP Identifier are implementation specific.
S-Flag: Set Flag. When set, the S-Flag indicates that the SID
refers to a set of BGP peering sessions (i.e., BGP Peer Set SID
functionality) and therefore MAY be assigned to one or more
End.X SIDs associated with BGP peering sessions.
P-Flag: Persistent Flag. When set, the P-Flag indicates that the
SID is persistently allocated, i.e., the value remains
consistent across router restart and/or session flap.
Other bits are reserved for future use and MUST be set to 0
when originated and ignored on receipt. The flags defined
above are also used with the SRv6 End.X SID TLV when
advertising the SRv6 BGP Peer Adjacency SID (Section 4.1).
Weight: 1-octet field. The value represents the weight of the SID
for the purpose of load balancing. The use of the weight is
defined in [RFC8402].
Reserved: 2-octet field. The value MUST be set to 0 when originated
and ignored on receipt.
Peer AS Number: 4 octets of the BGP AS number of the peer router.
Peer BGP Identifier: 4 octets of the BGP Identifier (BGP Router-ID)
of the peer router.
For an SRv6 BGP EPE PeerNode SID, one instance of this TLV is
associated with the SRv6 SID. For an SRv6 BGP EPE PeerSet SID,
multiple instances of this TLV (one for each peer in the "peer set")
are associated with the SRv6 SID and the S-Flag is set.
8. SRv6 SID Structure TLV
The SRv6 SID Structure TLV is used to advertise the length of each
individual part of the SRv6 SID as defined in [RFC8986]. It is an
optional TLV for use in the BGP-LS Attribute for an SRv6 SID NLRI and
as a sub-TLV of the SRv6 End.X SID, IS-IS SRv6 LAN End.X SID, and
OSPFv3 SRv6 LAN End.X SID TLVs.
When advertising SRv6 SIDs from the IGPs, the SRv6 SID Structure
information is derived from the IS-IS SRv6 SID Structure sub-sub-TLV
(Section 9 of [RFC9352]) or the OSPFv3 SRv6 SID Structure sub-TLV
(Section 10 of [RFC9513]) in the case of IS-IS or OSPFv3,
respectively.
When advertising the SRv6 SIDs corresponding to the BGP EPE
functionality or for advertising SRv6 SIDs using Direct as the
Protocol-ID, the SRv6 SID Structure information is derived from the
locally provisioned SRv6 SID.
The 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 |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| LB Length | LN Length | Fun. Length | Arg. Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 10: SRv6 SID Structure TLV
where:
Type: 1252
Length: 4
LB Length: 1-octet field. SRv6 SID Locator Block length in bits.
LN Length: 1-octet field. SRv6 SID Locator Node length in bits.
Fun. Length: 1-octet field. SRv6 SID Function length in bits.
Arg. Length: 1-octet field. SRv6 SID Argument length in bits.
The sum of the LB Length, LN Length, Fun. Length, and Arg. Length
MUST be less than or equal to 128.

10. Manageability Considerations
This section is structured as recommended in [RFC5706].
The new protocol extensions introduced in this document augment the
existing IGP topology information that is distributed via [RFC7752].
Procedures and protocol extensions defined in this document do not
affect the BGP protocol operations and management other than as
discussed in Section 6 (Manageability Considerations) of [RFC7752].
Specifically, the malformed attribute tests for syntactic checks in
Section 6.2.2 (Fault Management) of [RFC7752] now encompass the new
BGP-LS extensions defined in this document. The semantic or content
checking for the TLVs specified in this document and their
association with the BGP-LS NLRI types or their BGP-LS Attribute are
left to the consumer of the BGP-LS information (e.g., an application
or a controller) and not BGP.
The SR information introduced in BGP-LS by this specification may be
used by BGP-LS consumer applications like an SR Path Computation
Engine (PCE) to learn the SRv6 capabilities of the nodes in the
topology and the mapping of SRv6 segments to those nodes. This can
enable the SR PCE to perform path computations based on SR for
traffic-engineering use cases and to steer traffic on paths different
from the underlying IGP-based distributed best path computation.
Errors in the encoding or decoding of the SRv6 information may result
in the unavailability of such information to the SR PCE or incorrect
information being made available to it. This may result in the SR
PCE not being able to perform the desired SR-based optimization
functionality or performing it in an unexpected or inconsistent
manner. The handling of such errors by applications like SR PCE may
be implementation specific and out of the scope of this document.
The manageability considerations related to BGP EPE functionality are
discussed in [RFC9086] in the context of SR-MPLS; they also apply to
this document in the context of SRv6.
The extensions specified in this document do not introduce any new
configuration or monitoring aspects in BGP or BGP-LS other than as
discussed in [RFC7752]. The manageability aspects of the underlying
SRv6 features are covered by [SRV6-YANG].
11. Security Considerations
The new protocol extensions introduced in this document augment the
existing IGP topology information that is distributed via [RFC7752].
The advertisement of the SRv6 link-state information defined in this
document presents a similar risk as associated with the existing
link-state information as described in [RFC7752]. Section 8
(Security Considerations) of [RFC7752] also applies to these
extensions. The procedures and new TLVs defined in this document, by
themselves, do not affect the BGP-LS security model discussed in
[RFC7752].
The extensions introduced in this document are used to propagate IGP-
defined information [RFC9352] [RFC9513]. These extensions represent
the advertisement of SRv6 information associated with the IGP node,
link, and prefix. The IGP instances originating these TLVs are
assumed to support all the required security and authentication
mechanisms (as described in [RFC9352] and [RFC9513]).
The security considerations related to BGP EPE functionality are
discussed in [RFC9086] in the context of SR-MPLS, and they also apply
to this document in the context of SRv6.
BGP-LS SRv6 extensions enable traffic-engineering use cases within
the SR domain. SR operates within a trusted domain [RFC8402], and
its security considerations also apply to BGP-LS sessions when
carrying SR information. The SR traffic-engineering policies using
the SIDs advertised via BGP-LS are expected to be used entirely
within this trusted SR domain (e.g., between multiple AS or IGP
domains within a single provider network). Therefore, precaution is
necessary to ensure that the link-state information (including SRv6
information) advertised via BGP-LS sessions is securely limited to
consumers within this trusted SR domain. BGP peering sessions for
address families other than Link State may be set up to routers
outside the SR domain. The isolation of BGP-LS peering sessions is
RECOMMENDED to ensure that BGP-LS topology information (including the
newly added SR information) is not advertised to an external BGP
peering session outside the SR domain.

Appendix A. Differences with BGP-EPE for SR-MPLS
The signaling of SRv6 SIDs corresponding to BGP-EPE functionality as
defined in this document differs from the signaling of SR-MPLS BGP-
EPE SIDs as specified in [RFC9086]. This section provides a high-
level overview of the same.
There is no difference in the advertisement of the BGP Peer Adjacency
SID in both SR-MPLS and SRv6, and it is advertised as an attribute of
the Link NLRI, which identifies a specific Layer 3 interface on the
BGP Speaker. The difference is in the advertisement of the BGP
PeerNode and PeerSet SIDs.
In the case of SR-MPLS, an additional Link NLRI is required to be
advertised corresponding to each BGP peering session on the node.
Note that this is not the same Link NLRI associated with the actual
Layer 3 interface even when the peering is set up using the interface
IP addresses. These BGP-LS Link NLRIs are not really links in the
conventional link-state routing data model but instead identify BGP
peering sessions. The BGP PeerNode and/or PeerSet SIDs associated
with that peering session are advertised as attributes associated
with this peering Link NLRI. In the case of SRv6, each BGP PeerNode
or PeerSet SID is considered to be associated with the BGP Speaker
Node and is advertised using the BGP-LS SRv6 SID NLRI, while the
peering session information is advertised as attributes associated
with it.
The advertisement of the BGP PeerSet SID for SR-MPLS is done by
including that SID as an attribute in all the Link NLRIs
corresponding to the peering sessions that are part of the "set".
The advertisement of the BGP PeerSet SID for SRv6 is advertised using
a single SRv6 SID NLRI, and all the peers associated with that "set"
are indicated as attributes associated with the NLRI.
