            draft-tantsura-idr-bgp-ls-segment-routing-msd-00

Abstract

   This document discusses use of BGP-LS to expose node and/or link on a

1.  Introduction

   When Segment Routing tunnels are computed by a centralized
   controller, it is crucial that the controller knows MSD "Maximum SID
   Depth" of the node or link SR tunnel exits over, so it doesn't
   download a path with SID (label stack) of a depth more than the node
   or link configured is capable of imposing.This document describes how
   to use BGP-LS to expose the MSD of the node or link configured to a
   centralized controller.

   Gateway Protocol

1.1.2.  Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   [RFC2119].

2.  Problem Statement

   In existing technology only PCEP has extension to signal the MSD (SR
   PCE Capability TLV/ METRIC Object as defined in
   [I-D.ietf-pce-segment-routing],If PCEP is not supported by the node
   (head-end of the SR tunnel) controller has no way to learn the MSD of
   the node/link configured.

3.  MSD supported by a node

   Node MSD is a number in the range of 0-254.  The vaule of 0
   represents lack of ability to push MSD of any depth, any other value
   represents that of the node.

   Node MSD is encoded in the Opaque Node Attribute TLV, as defined in
   [I-D.ietf-idr-ls-distribution]

      0                   1                   2                   3

4.  MSD supported on a link

   Link MSD is a number in the range of 0-254.The value of 0 represents
   lack of ability to push MSD of any depth, any other value represents
   that of the link.

   Link MSD is encoded in the Opaque Link Attribute TLV, as defined in
   [I-D.ietf-idr-ls-distribution]
