Signaling MSD (Maximum SID Depth) using OSPF
draft-ietf-ospf-segment-routing-msd-08
Abstract
This document proposes a way to signal Maximum SID Depth (MSD)
supported by a node at node and/or link granularity by an OSPF
Router. In a Segment Routing (SR) enabled network a centralized
controller that programs SR tunnels needs to know the MSD supported
by the head-end at node and/or link granularity to impose the SID
stack of an appropriate depth. MSD is relevant to the head-end of a
SR tunnel or Binding-SID anchor node where Binding-SID expansions
might result in creation of a new SID stack. Here the term OSPF
means both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3.

1. Introduction
When Segment Routing tunnels are computed by a centralized
controller, it is critical that the controller learns the MSD
"Maximum SID Depth" of the node or link SR tunnel exits over, so the
SID stack depth of a path computed doesn't exceed the number of SIDs
the node is capable of imposing. This document describes how to use
OSPF to signal the MSD of a node or link to a centralized controller.
PCEP SR extensions draft [I-D.ietf-pce-segment-routing] signals MSD
in SR PCE Capability TLV and METRIC Object. However, if PCEP is not
supported/configured on the head-end of a SR tunnel or a Binding-SID
anchor node and controller does not participate in IGP routing, it
has no way to learn the MSD of nodes and links which has been
configured. BGP-LS [RFC7752] defines a way to expose topology and
associated attributes and capabilities of the nodes in that topology
