1. Introduction
BGP - Link State (BGP-LS) [RFC7752] defines Network Layer
Reachability Information (NLRI) and attributes in order to carry
link-state information. New BGP-LS Link Attribute TLVs are required
in order to carry the Traffic Engineering Metric Extensions defined
in [RFC8570] and [RFC7471].

2. Link Attribute TLVs for TE Metric Extensions
The following new Link Attribute TLVs are defined:
TLV Code Point Value
--------------------------------------------------------
1114 Unidirectional Link Delay
1115 Min/Max Unidirectional Link Delay
1116 Unidirectional Delay Variation
1117 Unidirectional Link Loss
1118 Unidirectional Residual Bandwidth
1119 Unidirectional Available Bandwidth
1120 Unidirectional Utilized Bandwidth
TLV formats are described in detail in the following subsections.
TLV formats follow the rules defined in [RFC7752].
