Abstract 

   This document describes the IGP extensions to provide predictable Adjacency-SIDs 
   per Flex-Algorithm [FLEXALGO] in segment routing. 

   We propose some methods to allow the advertisement of additional TLV in IGP so that 
   the Flex-Algorithm specific Adjacency-SIDs could be automatically derived. 

   With the proposed method, the size of advertisement on per node per link basis is 
   greatly reduced. Each participating router would derive the required labels 
   automatically. 

   Extensions for offset to derive Flex-Algorithm Prefix-SID is also included in the 
   document.

1. Introduction 

    
   The draft proposes methods for routers to announce Flex-Algorithm specific 
   Adjacency-SID with minimal advertisement in IGP. When the other routers need a SR 
   policy (aka SR-TE) or TI-LFA path, the Flex-Algorithm specific Adjacency-SID would 
   be taken into the path label construction. 

   Hence, the top most label, either node or link related, in a SR policy stack would 
   be used to identify a certain Flex-Algo with full identification.

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", 
   "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be

   CAPS. Lower case uses of these words are not to be interpreted as carrying 
   significance described in RFC 2119. 

 

    

3. ISIS extension 

   With reference to RFC8667, the information could be advertised in SR-Capabilities 
   sub-TLV in Section 3.

                           Label base for Prefix-SIDs for given Algorithm 
                           The derived Prefix-SID is the sum of the base

                           The new label for Prefix is sum of (SRGB base +  
                           index + index offset) 
    
   The format of Base offset and Index Offset is the same as RFC8667. The choice of 
   advertising Base Offset or Index Offset MUST match the advertisement of original 
   Prefix-SID method from the same router. 
    
4. Compatibility 

   For nodes that do not support Algorithm Offset for Adj-SID extension, the label 
   stack could use normal Adj-SID, providing that the node still supports Flex-Algo 
   Prefix SID. 

   For TI-LFA, there would be two modes of operation - loose or strict. For strict 
   mode, all Adj-SID involved in TI-LFA candidate path must be derived with offset 
   method. 

   For loose mode, Adj-SID in the TI-LFA candidate path could be a mix of Adj-SID's 
   with and without offset. This allows backward compatibility with routers which only 
   support Flex-Algo.
