Advertising Segment Routing Policies in BGP
draft-ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy-09
Abstract
This document defines a new BGP SAFI with a new NLRI in order to
advertise a candidate path of a Segment Routing (SR) Policy. An SR
Policy is a set of candidate paths, each consisting of one or more
segment lists. The headend of an SR Policy may learn multiple
candidate paths for an SR Policy. Candidate paths may be learned via
a number of different mechanisms, e.g., CLI, NetConf, PCEP, or BGP.
This document specifies the way in which BGP may be used to
distribute SR Policy candidate paths. New sub-TLVs for the Tunnel
Encapsulation Attribute are defined for signaling information about
these candidate paths.
