Abstract
This document users the Layer 3 Liveness and Discovery protocol to
communicate the parameters needed to exchange inter-device Upper
Layer Protocol Configuration for upper layer protocols such as the
BGP family.

1. Introduction
Massive Data Centers (MDCs) which use upper layer protocols such as
BGP4, BGP-LS, BGP-SPF, etc. may use the Layer 3 Liveness and
Discovery Protocol, L3DP, [I-D.ietf-lsvr-l3dl] to reveal the inter-
device links of the topology. It is desirable for devices to
facilitate the configuration parameters of those upper layer
protocols to enable more hands-free configuration. This document
defines a new L3DP PDU to communicate these Upper Layer Protocol
Configuration parameters.
2. Reading and Terminology
The reader is assumed to have read Layer 3 Discovery and Liveness
[I-D.ietf-lsvr-l3dl]. The terminology and PDUs there are assumed
here.
Familiarity with the BGP4 Protocol [RFC4271] is assumed. Familiarity
with BGP-SPF, [I-D.ietf-lsvr-bgp-spf], might be useful.

3. Upper Layer Protocol Configuration PDU
To communicate parameters required to configure peering and operation
of Upper Layer Protocols at IP layer 3 and above, e.g., BGP sessions
on a link, a neutral sub-TLV based Upper Layer Protocol PDU is
defined as follows:
