1.  Introduction

   [RFC9262] introduces Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) Traffic/
   Tree Engineering (BIER-TE).  It is an architecture for per-packet
   stateless explicit point to multipoint (P2MP) multicast path/tree.
   There are three types of BitPositions (BPs) in a BIER-TE domain: link
   BitPosition (BP), routed BP and localdecap BP.  A link BP is a BP
   configured on a link from Bit-Forwarding Router (BFR) X to BFR Y for
   a forward connected adjacency from X to Y.  A routed BP is a BP
   configured on BFR X for a forward routed adjacency from X to a remote
   BFR Z not directly connected to X.  A localdecap BP is a BP
   configured on a BFR.

   [RFC8444] describes OSPFv2 Extensions for distributing the BFR
   identifier (BFR-id) configured on a BFR.  This document specifies
   OSPFv2 extensions for distributing the BitPositions configured a BFR
   in a BIER-TE domain.  The BitPositions distributed may be used by a
   BFR as a Point of Local Repair (PLR) for Fast-ReRoute (FRR).

2.  Extensions to OSPFv2

   This section describes protocol extensions to OSPFv2 for distributing
   the BitPositions configured on a BFR in a BIER-TE domain.

2.1.  Link BitPosition

   This section defines a Sub-TLV for distributing a link BitPosition
   (BP).

   [RFC7684] defines the OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV to advertise the
   information about a link.  Multiple Link TLVs for the links of a
   router are included in the OSPFv2 Extended Link Opaque LSA of the
   router.  The OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV has the following format:

       0                   1                   2                   3

   Type:  1.

   Length:  Variable, dependent on Sub-TLVs.

   Link Type, Link ID and Link Data:  They are defined in Section A.4.2
         of [RFC2328].

   Reserved:  MUST be set to 0 on transmission and MUST be ignored on
         reception.

   Under the OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV for a link, a Sub-TLV, called
   Link-BP Sub-TLV, is defined for distributing a link BitPosition.  A
   Link-BP Sub-TLV is included in the Link TLV for a link of Link Type
   P2P (Point-to-Point) or Broadcast (or say LAN or Transit Network).
   The Link-BP Sub-TLV has the following format:

   Type:  TBD1 is to be assigned by IANA.

   Length:  Variable.  For a P2P link, it is 6 since there is no
         DrEndBitPosition.  For a broadcast link, it is 8 since there is
         a DrEndBitPosition.

   sub-domain-id:  Unique value identifying a BIER-TE sub-domain.

   MT-ID:  Multi-Topology ID identifying the topology that is associated
         with the BIER-TE sub-domain.

   BAR:  Single-octet BIER Algorithm used to calculate underlay paths to
         reach other BFRs.  Values are allocated from the "BIER
         Algorithm" registry defined in [RFC8401].

   IPA:  Single-octet IGP Algorithm used to either modify, enhance, or
         replace the calculation of underlay paths to reach other BFRs
         as defined by the BAR value.  Values are defined in the "IGP
         Algorithm Types" registry.

   BitPosition:  A 2-octet field encoding the BitPosition locally
         configured on the link/interface when the Link Type of the link
         in the OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV containing this Sub-TLV is 1
         (i.e., Point-to-Point connection to another router) or 2 (i.e.,
         connection to Transit Network or say LAN).

   DrEndBitPosition:  A 2-octet field encoding the BitPosition of the
         connection on the designated router (DR) end.  This field
         exists when the Link Type in the OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV
         containing this Sub-TLV is 2 (i.e., Transit Network or LAN).
         For the other value of the Link Type, this field MUST NOT
         exist.  The DrEndBitPosition may be configured on the link/
         interface to a transit network (i.e., broadcast link or say
         LAN) as described in [I-D.chen-bier-te-lan].

2.2.  Routed and Localdecap BitPositions

   A TLV, called Node BPs TLV, is defined within the body of the OSPF
   Router Information (RI) Opaque Link State Advertisement (LSA)
   [RFC7770].  The TLV contains Sub-TLVs.  Two types of Sub-TLVs are
   defined.  One is for a Routed BitPosition and the other for a
   Localdecap BitPosition.

   The Node BPs TLV has the following format:

       0                   1                   2                   3

3.  Security Considerations

   Protocol extensions defined in this document do not affect the OSPF
   security other than those as discussed in the Security Considerations
   section of [RFC7684].

4.  IANA Considerations

   Under "OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV Sub-TLVs" registry as defined in
   [RFC7684], IANA is requested to assign a new registry value for Link-
   BP Sub-TLV as follows:

     +==============+===================+=====================+
     |  Value       |  Description      |    reference        |
