Advertising Node Admin Tags in BGP Link-State Advertisements
draft-ietf-idr-bgp-ls-node-admin-tag-extension-01
Abstract
This document describes the protocol extensions to collect node
administrative tags adevertised in IGP Link State advertisements and
disseminate the same in BGP Link-State advertisement protocol, to
facilitate inter-AS TE applications that may need the same node
administrative tags to associate a subset of network devices spanning
across more than one AS with a specific functionality.

1. Introduction
Advertising Node Administrative Tags in Link State protocols like IS-
IS [RFC7917] and OSPF [RFC7777] allows adding an optional operational
capability, that allows tagging and grouping of the nodes in a IGP
domain. This, among other applications, allows simple management and
easy control over route and path selection, based on local configured
policies. However node administrative tags advertised in IGP
advertisements let network operators associate nodes within a single
