      <abstract>
	 <t>   Segment Routing (SR) Policies require fast failure detection for
   Candidate Paths (CPs) to enable rapid rerouting and high
   availability.  Currently, the provisioning of SR Policies and the
   configuration of associated Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD)
   or Seamless BFD (S-BFD) sessions are performed independently.  This
   often necessitates separate mechanisms (e.g., manual configuration,
   NETCONF, or additional signaling) to associate BFD/S-BFD sessions
   with the SR Policies, resulting in complex and error-prone operations

   This document defines extensions to BGP SR Policy for the
   simultaneous provisioning of SR Policy CPs and their BFD/S-BFD
   configuration parameters during policy advertisement.  The extensions
   include optional sub-TLVs within the Tunnel Encapsulation Attribute
   to carry BFD/S-BFD configuration parameters (e.g., discriminators,
   intervals, multipliers).

   These extensions simplify deployment in distributed or controller-
   based environments, reduce configuration overhead, and enhance
   operational efficiency for SR-based traffic engineering.
