1.  Introduction

   SR Policy is an ordered list of segments (i.e. instructions) that
   represent a source-routed policy.  Packet flows are steered into a SR
   Policy on a node where it is instantiated called a headend node.  The
   packets steered into an SR Policy carry an ordered list of segments
   associated with that SR Policy.[I-D.ietf-idr-te-lsp-distribution]
   describes a mechanism to distribute traffic engineering policy
   information (SR Policies , TE-LSPs, etc) to external components using
   BGP-LS.

   [I-D.bestbar-teas-ns-packet] introduces a Slice-Flow Aggregate as the
   collection of packets (from one or more IETF network slice traffic
   streams) that match an NRP Policy selection criteria and are offered
   the same forwarding treatment.  The NRP Policy is used to realize an
   NRP by instantiating specific control and data plane resources on
   select topological elements in an IP/MPLS network.  The NRP
   Identifier (NRP-ID) is globally unique within an NRP domain and that
   can be used in the control or management plane to identify the
   resources associated with the NRP.

   Based on the mechanism defined in [I-D.ietf-idr-te-lsp-distribution],
   this document defines a new TLV which enable the headed to report the
   configuration and the states of SR policies carrying NRP information
   by using BPG-LS.

2.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

   cloud transport network: It is usually a national or province
   backbone network to achieve interconnection between multiple regional
   clouds/core clouds deployed in the country/province.

3.  Carrying NRP Sub-TLV in BGP-LS

   [I-D.liu-idr-bgp-network-slicing] and [I-D.dong-idr-sr-policy-nrp]
   define extensions to BGP in order to advertise NRP in SR policies.

   In order to collect configuration and states of the NRP SR policies,
   this document defines a new SR Policy state TLV.

   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      |     Flags     |   RESERVED    |
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
       |                         NRP ID (4 octets)                     |
       +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   where:

   Type: TBD1.

   Length: 6 octets.

   Flags: 1 octet of flags.  None are defined at this stage.  Flags
   SHOULD be set to zero on transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt.

   RESERVED: 1 octet of reserved bits.  SHOULD be set to zero on
   transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt.

   NRP: 4 octet global identifier of Network Resource Partition.

4.  Acknowledgements

   TBD.

5.  IANA Considerations

   TBD.

6.  Security Considerations

   TBD.
