BGP Link State Extensions for SRv6
draft-ietf-idr-bgpls-srv6-ext-11
Abstract
Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) allows for a flexible definition of
end-to-end paths within various topologies by encoding paths as
sequences of topological or functional sub-paths, called "segments".
These segments are advertised by various protocols such as BGP, IS-IS
and OSPFv3.
This document defines extensions to BGP Link-state (BGP-LS) to
advertise SRv6 segments along with their behaviors and other
attributes via BGP. The BGP-LS address-family solution for SRv6
described in this document is similar to BGP-LS for SR for the MPLS
data-plane defined in a separate document.

Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SRv6 October 2022
1. Introduction
SRv6 refers to Segment Routing instantiated on the IPv6 data-plane
[RFC8402]. An SRv6 Segment is often referred to by its SRv6 Segment
Identifier (SID).
The network programming paradigm [RFC8986] is central to SRv6. It
describes how different behaviors can be bound to SIDs and how a
network program can be expressed as a combination of SIDs.
An SRv6-capable node maintains all the SRv6 segments explicitly
instantiated locally.
The IS-IS and OSPFv3 link-state routing protocols have been extended
to advertise some of these SRv6 SIDs and SRv6-related information
[I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions],
[I-D.ietf-lsr-ospfv3-srv6-extensions]. Other SRv6 SIDs may be
instantiated on a node via other mechanisms for topological or
service functionalities.
The advertisement of SR related information along with the topology
for the MPLS data-plane instantiation (SR-MPLS) is specified in
[RFC9085] and for the BGP Egress Peer Engineering (EPE) is specified
in [RFC9086]. On similar lines, introducing the SRv6 related
information in BGP-LS allows consumer applications that require
topological visibility to also receive the SRv6 SIDs from nodes
across an IGP domain or even across Autonomous Systems (AS), as
required. This allows applications to leverage the SRv6 capabilities
for network programming.
The identifying key of each Link-State object, namely a node, link,
or prefix, is encoded in the Network-Layer Reachability Information
(NLRI) and the properties of the object are encoded in the BGP-LS
Attribute [RFC7752].
This document describes extensions to BGP-LS to advertise the SRv6
SIDs and other SRv6 information from all the SRv6 capable nodes in
the IGP domain when sourced from link-state routing protocols and
directly from individual SRv6 capable nodes (e.g. when sourced from
BGP for EPE).
1.1. 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 BCP
14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.

Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SRv6 October 2022
2. BGP-LS Extensions for SRv6
BGP-LS [RFC7752] defines the Node, Link, and Prefix Link-State
Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) types and the
advertisement of their attributes via BGP.
When a BGP-LS router advertises topology information that it sources
from the underlying link-state routing protocol (as described in
[RFC7752]), then it maps the corresponding SRv6 information from the
SRv6 extensions for IS-IS [I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions] and
OSPFv3 [I-D.ietf-lsr-ospfv3-srv6-extensions] protocols to their BGP-
LS TLVs/sub-TLVs for all SRv6 capable nodes in that routing protocol
domain. When a BGP-LS router advertises topology information from
the BGP routing protocol (e.g., for EPE), then it advertises the SRv6
information from the local node alone.
The SRv6 information pertaining to a node is advertised via the BGP-
LS Node NLRI and using the BGP-LS Attribute TLVs as follows:
* SRv6 Capabilities of the node are advertised via the SRv6
Capabilities TLV (Section 3.1).
* Maximum SID Depth (MSD) types introduced for SRv6 are advertised
(Section 3.2) using the Node MSD TLV specified in [RFC8814]
* Algorithm support for SRv6 is advertised via the SR-Algorithm TLV
specified in [RFC9085].
The SRv6 information pertaining to a link is advertised via the BGP-
LS Link NLRI and using the BGP-LS Attribute TLVs as follows:
* SRv6 SID of the IGP Adjacency SID or the BGP EPE Peer Adjacency
SID [RFC8402] is advertised via the SRv6 End.X SID TLV introduced
in this document (Section 4.1).
* SRv6 SID of the IGP Adjacency SID to a non-Designated Router (DR)
or non-Designated Intermediate-System (DIS) [RFC8402] is
advertised via the SRv6 LAN End.X SID TLV introduced in this
document (Section 4.2).
* MSD types introduced for SRv6 are advertised (Section 4.3) using
the Link MSD TLV specified in [RFC8814].
The SRv6 information pertaining to a prefix is advertised via the
BGP-LS Prefix NLRI and using the BGP-LS Attribute TLVs as follows:
* SRv6 Locator is advertised via the SRv6 Locator TLV introduced in
this document (Section 5.1).
Dawra, et al. Expires 18 April 2023 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SRv6 October 2022
* The attributes of the SRv6 Locator are advertised via the Prefix
Attribute Flags TLV specified in [RFC9085].
The SRv6 SIDs associated with the node are advertised using the BGP-
LS SRv6 SID NLRI introduced in this document (Section 6). This
enables the BGP-LS encoding to scale to cover a potentially large set
of SRv6 SIDs instantiated on a node with the granularity of
individual SIDs and without affecting the size and scalability of the
BGP-LS updates. Had the SRv6 SIDs been advertised within the BGP-LS
Link Attribute associated with the existing Node NLRI, the BGP-LS
update would have grown rather large with the increase in SRv6 SIDs
on the node and would have also required a large update message to be
generated for any change to even a single SRv6 SID. BGP-LS Attribute
TLVs for the SRv6 SID NLRI are introduced in this document as
follows:
* The endpoint behavior of the SRv6 SID is advertised via the SRv6
Endpoint Behavior TLV (Section 7.1).
* The BGP EPE Peer Node context for a PeerNode SID, and the Peer Set
context for a PeerSet SID [RFC8402] are advertised via the SRv6
BGP EPE Peer Node SID TLV (Section 7.2),
Subsequent sections of this document specify the encoding and usage
of these extensions. All the TLVs introduced follow the formats and
common field definitions provided in [RFC7752].
3. SRv6 Node Attributes
The SRv6 attributes of a node are advertised using the BGP-LS
Attribute TLVs defined in this section and associated with the BGP-LS
Node NLRI.
3.1. SRv6 Capabilities TLV
This BGP-LS Attribute TLV is used to announce the SRv6 capabilities
of the node along with the BGP-LS Node NLRI and indicates the SRv6
support by the node. A single instance of this TLV MUST be included
in the BGP-LS attribute for each SRv6 capable node. The IS-IS SRv6
Capabilities sub-TLV [I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions] and the
OSPFv3 SRv6 Capabilities TLV [I-D.ietf-lsr-ospfv3-srv6-extensions]
that map to this BGP-LS TLV are specified with the ability to carry
optional sub-sub-TLVs/sub-TLVs. However, no such extensions are
currently defined. Moreover, the SRv6 Capabilities TLV defined below
is not extensible. As a result, it is expected that any extensions
will be introduced as top-level TLVs in the BGP-LS Attribute.

[I-D.ietf-lsr-ospfv3-srv6-extensions]).
* Reserved: 2 octet that MUST be set to 0 and ignored on receipt.
3.2. SRv6 Node MSD Types
The Node MSD TLV [RFC8814] of the BGP-LS Attribute of the Node NLRI
is also used to advertise the limits and the Segment Routing Header
(SRH) [RFC8754] operations supported by the SRv6 capable node. The
SRv6 MSD Types specified in section 4 of
[I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions] are also used with the BGP-LS
Node MSD TLV as these code points are shared between IS-IS, OSPF and
BGP-LS protocols. The description and semantics of these new MSD-
types for BGP-LS are identical as specified in
[I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions].
Each MSD-type is encoded in the BGP-LS Node MSD TLV as a one-octet
type followed by a one-octet value as derived from the IS-IS and
OSPFv3 Node MSD advertisements as specified in [RFC8814].
4. SRv6 Link Attributes
SRv6 attributes and SIDs associated with a link or adjacency are
advertised using the BGP-LS Attribute TLVs defined in this section
and associated with the BGP-LS Link NLRI.
Dawra, et al. Expires 18 April 2023 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SRv6 October 2022
4.1. SRv6 End.X SID TLV
The SRv6 End.X SID TLV is used to advertise the SRv6 SIDs associated
with an IGP Adjacency SID behavior that correspond to a point-to-
point or point-to-multipoint link or adjacency of the node running
the IS-IS and OSPFv3 protocols. The information advertised via this
TLV is derived from the SRv6 End.X SID sub-TLV of IS-IS (section 8.1
of [I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions]) and OSPFv3 (section 9.1 of
[I-D.ietf-lsr-ospfv3-srv6-extensions]). This TLV can also be used to
advertise the SRv6 SID corresponding to the underlying layer-2 member
links for a layer-3 bundle interface as a sub-TLV of the L2 Bundle
Member Attribute TLV [RFC9085].
This TLV is also used by BGP-LS to advertise the BGP EPE Peer
Adjacency SID for SRv6 on the same lines as specified for SR-MPLS in
[RFC9086]. The SRv6 SID for the BGP Peer Adjacency using End.X
behaviors (viz. End.X, End.X with PSP, End.X with USP, and End.X
with PSP & USP) [RFC8986] indicates the cross-connect to a specific
layer-3 link to the specific BGP session peer (neighbor).
More than one instance of this TLV can be included in the BGP-LS
Attribute; one for each SRv6 End.X SID.
The TLV has the following format:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

[I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions]) and OSPFv3 (section 9.1 of
[I-D.ietf-lsr-ospfv3-srv6-extensions]). In the case of BGP EPE
Peer Adjacency SID, the flags are as defined in Section 7.2.
Algorithm: 1 octet field. Algorithm associated with the SID.
Weight: 1 octet field. The value represents the weight of the SID
for the purpose of load balancing. The use of the weight is
defined in [RFC8402].
Reserved: 1 octet field that MUST be set to 0 and ignored on
receipt.
SID: 16 octet field. This field encodes the advertised SRv6 SID
as 128 bit value.
Sub-TLVs : Used to advertise sub-TLVs that provide additional
attributes for the specific SRv6 SID. This document defines one
in Section 8.
4.2. SRv6 LAN End.X SID TLV
For a LAN interface, an IGP node announces normally only its
adjacency to the IS-IS pseudo-node (or the equivalent OSPF DR). The
information advertised via this TLV is derived from the SRv6 LAN
End.X SID sub-TLV of IS-IS (section 8.2 of
[I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions]) and OSPFv3 (section 9.2 of
[I-D.ietf-lsr-ospfv3-srv6-extensions]). The SRv6 LAN End.X SID TLV
allows a node to announce the SRv6 SID corresponding to its
adjacencies to all other (i.e., non-DIS or non-DR) nodes attached to
the LAN in a single instance of the BGP-LS Link NLRI. Without this
TLV, multiple BGP-LS Link NLRIs would need to be originated for each
additional adjacency to advertise the SRv6 End.X SID TLVs for these
neighbor adjacencies. The SRv6 SID for these IGP adjacencies using
the End.X behaviors (viz. End.X, End.X with PSP, End.X with USP, and
End.X with PSP & USP) [RFC8986] are advertised using the SRv6 LAN
End.X SID TLV.
More than one instance of this TLV can be included in the BGP-LS
Attribute; one for each SRv6 LAN End.X SID.

4.3. SRv6 Link MSD Types
The Link MSD TLV [RFC8814] of the BGP-LS Attribute of the Link NLRI
is also used to advertise the limits and the SRH operations supported
on the specific link by the SRv6 capable node. The SRv6 MSD Types
specified in section 4 of[I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions] are also
used with the BGP-LS Link MSD TLV as these code points are shared
between IS-IS, OSPF, and BGP-LS protocols. The description and
semantics of these new MSD types for BGP-LS are identical as
specified in [I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions].
Each MSD-type is encoded in the BGP-LS Link MSD TLV as a one-octet
type followed by a one-octet value as derived from the IS-IS and
OSPFv3 Link MSD advertisements as specified in [RFC8814].
5. SRv6 Prefix Attributes
SRv6 attributes with an IPv6 prefix are advertised using the BGP-LS
Attribute TLVs defined in this section and associated with the BGP-LS
Prefix NLRI.
5.1. SRv6 Locator TLV
As specified in [RFC8986], an SRv6 SID comprises Locator, Function
and Argument parts.
A node is provisioned with one or more Locators supported by that
node. Locators are covering prefixes for the set of SIDs provisioned
on that node. These Locators are advertised as BGP-LS Prefix NLRI
objects along with the SRv6 Locator TLV in its BGP-LS Attribute.
The information advertised via this TLV is derived from the SRv6
Locator TLV of IS-IS (section 7.1 of
[I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions]) and OSPFv3 (section 7.1 of
[I-D.ietf-lsr-ospfv3-srv6-extensions]).
Dawra, et al. Expires 18 April 2023 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SRv6 October 2022
The IPv6 Prefix matching the Locator may be also advertised as prefix
reachability by the underlying routing protocol. In this case, the
Prefix NLRI would be also associated with the Prefix Metric TLV
[RFC7752] that carries the routing metric for this prefix. A Prefix
NLRI, that has been advertised with a SRv6 Locator TLV, is also
considered a normal routing prefix (i.e., prefix reachability) only
when there is also an IGP metric TLV (TLV 1095) associated it.
Otherwise, it is considered only as an SRv6 Locator advertisement.
The SRv6 Locator TLV has the following format:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

Sub-TLVs : Used to advertise sub-TLVs that provide additional
attributes for the given SRv6 Locator. Currently none are
defined.
6. SRv6 SID NLRI
The "Link-State NLRI" defined in [RFC7752] is extended to carry the
SRv6 SID information.
A new "Link-State NLRI Type" is defined for SRv6 SID information as
follows:
* Link-State NLRI Type: SRv6 SID NLRI (value 6).
The SRv6 SIDs associated with the node are advertised using the BGP-
LS SRv6 SID NLRI.
The format of this new NLRI type is as shown in the following figure:

Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SRv6 October 2022
New TLVs for advertisement within the BGP-LS Attribute [RFC7752] are
defined in Section 7 to carry the attributes of an SRv6 SID.
6.1. SRv6 SID Information TLV
An SRv6 SID that is associated with the node and advertised using the
SRv6 SID NLRI is encoded using the SRv6 SID Information TLV.
When advertising the SRv6 SIDs from the IGPs, the SID information is
derived from the SRv6 End SID sub-TLV of IS-IS (section 7.2 of
[I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions]) and OSPFv3 (section 8 of
[I-D.ietf-lsr-ospfv3-srv6-extensions]).
The TLV carries the SRv6 SIDs corresponding to the BGP PeerNode and
PeerSet SID [RFC8402] when SRv6 BGP EPE functionality is enabled in
BGP.
The TLV has the following format:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SRv6 October 2022
7.1. SRv6 Endpoint Behavior TLV
Each SRv6 SID instantiated on an SRv6 capable node has specific
instructions (called behavior) bound to it. [RFC8986] describes how
behaviors are bound to a SID and also defines the initial set of
well-known behaviors.
The SRv6 Endpoint Behavior TLV is a mandatory TLV that MUST be
included in the BGP-LS Attribute associated with the BGP-LS SRv6 SID
NLRI.
When advertising the SRv6 SIDs from the IGPs, the Endpoint behavior,
Flags, and Algorithm are derived from the SRv6 End SID sub-TLV of IS-
IS (section 7.2 of [I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions]) and OSPFv3
(section 8 of [I-D.ietf-lsr-ospfv3-srv6-extensions]).
When advertising the SRv6 SIDs corresponding to the BGP EPE
functionality, the Endpoint Behavior corresponds to End.X and similar
behaviors. Flags are currently not defined and the algorithm value
MUST be 0.
The TLV has the following format:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

encodings when advertising SRv6 SIDs corresponding to IGPs. For
SRv6 SIDs corresponding to BGP EPE, none are defined currently and
they MUST be set to 0 and ignored on receipt.
Algorithm: 1 octet field. Algorithm associated with the SID.

Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SRv6 October 2022
7.2. SRv6 BGP Peer Node SID TLV
The BGP PeerNode SID and PeerSet SID for SR-MPLS are specified in
[RFC9086]. Similar Peer Node and Peer Set functionality can be
realized with SRv6 using SIDs with END.X behavior. Refer to
Appendix A for some differences between the signaling of these SIDs
in SR-MPLS and SRv6. The SRv6 BGP Peer Node SID TLV is a mandatory
TLV for use in the BGP-LS Attribute for an SRv6 SID NLRI advertised
by BGP for the EPE functionality. This TLV MUST be included along
with SRv6 SIDs that are associated with the BGP PeerNode or PeerSet
functionality.
The TLV has the following format:
0 1 2 3
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

- B-Flag: Backup Flag. If set, the SID is eligible for
protection using fast reroute (FRR). The computation of the
backup forwarding path and its association with the forwarding
entry for the Peer BGP Identifier is implementation specific.
Dawra, et al. Expires 18 April 2023 [Page 15]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SRv6 October 2022
- S-Flag: Set Flag. When set, the S-Flag indicates that the SID
refers to a set of BGP peering sessions (i.e., BGP Peer Set SID
functionality) and therefore MAY be assigned to one or more
End.X SIDs associated with BGP peer sessions.
- P-Flag: Persistent Flag: When set, the P-Flag indicates that
the SID is persistently allocated, i.e., the value remains
consistent across router restart and/or session flap.
- Other bits are reserved for future use and MUST be set to 0 and
ignored on receipt.
The flags defined above are also used with the SRv6 End.X SID TLV
when advertising SRv6 BGP Peer Adjacency SID (Section 4.1).
* Weight: 1 octet field. The value represents the weight of the SID
for the purpose of load balancing. The use of the weight is
defined in [RFC8402].
* Reserved: 2 octet field. The value MUST be set to 0 and ignored
on receipt.
* Peer AS Number : 4 octets of BGP AS number of the peer router.
* Peer BGP Identifier : 4 octets of the BGP Identifier (BGP Router-
ID) of the peer router.
For an SRv6 BGP EPE Peer Node SID, one instance of this TLV is
associated with the SRv6 SID. For SRv6 BGP EPE Peer Set SID,
multiple instances of this TLV (one for each peer in the "peer set")
are associated with the SRv6 SID and the S-Flag is SET.
8. SRv6 SID Structure TLV
The SRv6 SID Structure TLV is used to advertise the length of each
individual part of the SRv6 SID as defined in [RFC8986]. It is an
optional TLV for use in the BGP-LS Attribute for an SRv6 SID NLRI and
as a sub-TLV of the SRv6 End.X SID, IS-IS SRv6 LAN End.X SID, and
OSPFv3 SRv6 LAN End.X SID TLVs.
When advertising SRv6 SIDs from the IGPs, the SRv6 SID Structure
information is derived from the ISIS SRv6 SID Structure sub-sub-TLV
(section 9 of [I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions]) and the OSPFv3
SRv6 SID Structure sub-TLV (section 10 of
[I-D.ietf-lsr-ospfv3-srv6-extensions]).
Dawra, et al. Expires 18 April 2023 [Page 16]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SRv6 October 2022

10. Manageability Considerations
This section is structured as recommended in [RFC5706].
The new protocol extensions introduced in this document augment the
existing IGP topology information that is distributed via [RFC7752].
Procedures and protocol extensions defined in this document do not
affect the BGP protocol operations and management other than as
discussed in the Manageability Considerations section of [RFC7752].
Specifically, the malformed attribute tests for syntactic checks in
the Fault Management section of [RFC7752] now encompass the new BGP-
LS extensions defined in this document. The semantic or content
checking for the TLVs specified in this document and their
association with the BGP-LS NLRI types or their BGP-LS Attribute is
left to the consumer of the BGP-LS information (e.g., an application
or a controller) and not the BGP protocol.
The SR information introduced in BGP-LS by this specification may be
used by BGP-LS consumer applications like an SR path computation
engine (PCE) to learn the SRv6 capabilities of the nodes in the
topology and the mapping of SRv6 segments to those nodes. This can
enable the SR PCE to perform path computations based on SR for
traffic engineering use-cases and to steer traffic on paths different
from the underlying IGP based distributed best path computation.
Errors in the encoding or decoding of the SRv6 information may result
in the unavailability of such information to the SR PCE or incorrect
information being made available to it. This may result in the SR
PCE not being able to perform the desired SR-based optimization
functionality or to perform it in an unexpected or inconsistent
manner. The handling of such errors by applications like SR PCE may
be implementation-specific and out of the scope of this document.
The manageability considerations related to BGP EPE functionality are
discussed in [RFC9086] in the context of SR-MPLS and they also apply
to this document in the context of SRv6.
The extensions, specified in this document, do not introduce any new
configuration or monitoring aspects in BGP or BGP-LS other than as
discussed in [RFC7752]. The manageability aspects of the underlying
SRv6 features are covered by [I-D.ietf-spring-srv6-yang].
Dawra, et al. Expires 18 April 2023 [Page 19]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SRv6 October 2022
11. Security Considerations
The new protocol extensions introduced in this document augment the
existing IGP topology information that is distributed via [RFC7752].
The advertisement of the SRv6 link-state information defined in this
document presents a similar risk as associated with the existing set
of link-state information as described in [RFC7752]. The Security
Considerations section of [RFC7752] also applies to these extensions.
The procedures and new TLVs defined in this document, by themselves,
do not affect the BGP-LS security model discussed in [RFC7752].
The extensions introduced in this document are used to propagate IGP
defined information ([I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions] and
[I-D.ietf-lsr-ospfv3-srv6-extensions]). These extensions represent
the advertisement of SRv6 information associated with the IGP node,
link, and prefix. The IGP instances originating these TLVs are
assumed to support all the required security and authentication
mechanisms (as described in [I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions] and
[I-D.ietf-lsr-ospfv3-srv6-extensions]).
The security considerations related to BGP EPE functionality are
discussed in [RFC9086] in the context of SR-MPLS and they also apply
to this document in the context of SRv6.
BGP-LS SRv6 extensions enable traffic engineering use-cases within
the Segment Routing domain. SR operates within a trusted domain
[RFC8402] and its security considerations also apply to BGP-LS
sessions when carrying SR information. The SR traffic engineering
policies using the SIDs advertised via BGP-LS are expected to be used
entirely within this trusted SR domain (e.g., between multiple AS or
IGP domains within a single provider network). Therefore, precaution
is necessary to ensure that the link-state information (including
SRv6 information) advertised via BGP-LS sessions is limited to
consumers in a secure manner within this trusted SR domain. BGP
peering sessions for address-families other than Link-State may be
set up to routers outside the SR domain. The isolation of BGP-LS
peering sessions is RECOMMENDED to ensure that BGP-LS topology
information (including the newly added SR information) is not
advertised to an external BGP peering session outside the SR domain.

Appendix A. Differences with BGP-EPE for SR-MPLS
The signaling of SRv6 SIDs corresponding to BGP-EPE functionality as
defined in this document differ from the signaling of SR-MPLS BGP-EPE
SIDs as specified in [RFC9086]. This section provides a high-level
overview of the same.
There is no difference in the advertisement of the BGP Peer Adjacency
SID in both SR-MPLS and SRv6 and it is advertised as an attribute of
the Link NLRI which identifies a specific Layer 3 interface on the
BGP Speaker. The difference is in the advertisement of the BGP Peer
Node and Peer Set SIDs.
In case of SR-MPLS, an additional Link NLRI is required to be
advertised corresponding to each BGP Peering session on the node.
Note that, this is not the same Link NLRI associated with the actual
layer 3 interface even when the peering is setup using the interface
IP addresses. These BGP-LS Link NLRIs are not really links in the
traditional link-state routing data model but instead identify BGP
peering sessions. The BGP Peer Node and/or Peer Set SIDs associated
with that peering session are advertised as attributes associated
with this peering Link NLRI. In the case of SRv6, each BGP Peer Node
or Peer Set SID is considered to be associated with the BGP Speaker
node and is advertised using the BGP-LS SRv6 SID NLRI while the
peering session information is advertised as attributes associated
with it.

Internet-Draft BGP-LS Extensions for SRv6 October 2022
The advertisement of the BGP Peer Set SID for SR-MPLS is done by
including that SID as an attribute in all the Link NLRIs
corresponding to the peering sessions that are part of the "set".
The advertisement of the BGP Peer Set SID for SRv6 is advertised
using a single SRv6 SID NLRI and all the peers associated with that
"set" are indicated as attributes associated with the NLRI.
