Distribution of MPLS-TE Extended admin Group Using BGP
draft-wang-idr-eag-distribution-00
Abstract
As MPLS-TE network grows, administrative Groups advertised as a
fixed-length 32-bit Bitmask is quite constraining. "Extended
Administrative Group" IGP TE extensions sub-TLV defined in [I-D.ietf-
mpls-extended-admin-group] is introduced to provide for additional
administrative groups (link colors) beyond the current limit of 32.
This document describes extensions to BGP protocol, that can be used
to distribute extended administrative groups in MPLS-TE.

1. Introduction
MPLS-TE advertises 32 administrative groups (commonly referred to as
"colors" or "link colors") using the Administrative Group sub-TLV of
the Link TLV defined in OSPFv2 (RFC3630), OSPFv3 (RFC5329) and ISIS
(RFC5305).
As MPLS-TE network grows, administrative Groups advertised as a
fixed-length 32-bit Bitmask is quite constraining. "Extended
Administrative Group" IGP TE extensions sub-TLV defined in [I-D.ietf-
mpls-extended-admin-group] is introduced to provide for additional
administrative groups (link colors) beyond the current limit of 32.
This document proposes new BGP Link attribute TLVs that can be
announced as attribute in the BGP-LS attribute (defined in [I.D-ietf-
idr-ls-distribution]) to distribute extended administrative groups in
MPLS-TE.
2. Conventions used in this document
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in RFC2119 [RFC2119].
3. Carrying Extended Administrative Groups in BGP
This document proposes one new BGP link attribute TLVs that can be
announced as attribute in the BGP-LS attribute (defined in [I.D-ietf-
idr-ls-distribution]) to distribute extended administrative groups.
The extensions in this document build on the ones provided in BGP-LS
[I.D-ietf-idr-ls-distribution] and BGP-4 [RFC4271].
