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].

2.8. Mappings to IGP Source Sub-TLVs

This section documents the mappings between the Link Attribute TLVs defined in this document and the corresponding advertisements sourced by the IGPs. For OSPFv2 and OSPFv3, the advertisements are defined in [RFC7471]. For IS-IS, the advertisements are defined in [RFC8570]. +---------------------------------------+----------+----------------+ | Attribute Name | IS-IS | OSPFv2/OSPFv3 | | | Sub-TLV | Sub-TLV | +---------------------------------------+----------+----------------+ | Unidirectional Link Delay | 33 | 27 | +---------------------------------------+----------+----------------+ | Min/Max Unidirectional Link Delay | 34 | 28 | +---------------------------------------+----------+----------------+ | Unidirectional Delay Variation | 35 | 29 | +---------------------------------------+----------+----------------+ | Unidirectional Link Loss | 36 | 30 | +---------------------------------------+----------+----------------+ | Unidirectional Residual Bandwidth | 37 | 31 | +---------------------------------------+----------+----------------+ | Unidirectional Available Bandwidth | 38 | 32 | +---------------------------------------+----------+----------------+ | Unidirectional Utilized Bandwidth | 39 | 33 | +---------------------------------------+----------+----------------+ Figure 8

3. Security Considerations

Procedures and protocol extensions defined in this document do not affect the BGP security model. See the "Security Considerations" section of [RFC4271] for a discussion of BGP security. Also, refer to [RFC4272] and [RFC6952] for analyses of security issues for BGP. Security considerations for acquiring and distributing BGP-LS information are discussed in [RFC7752]. The TLVs introduced in this document are used to propagate the Traffic Engineering Metric Extensions defined in [RFC8570] and [RFC7471]. These TLVs represent the state and resource availability of the IGP link. It is assumed that the IGP instances originating these TLVs will support all the required security and authentication mechanisms (as described in [RFC8570] and [RFC7471]) in order to prevent any security issues when propagating the TLVs into BGP-LS.
Top   ToC   RFC8571 - Page 8
   The advertisement of the link attribute information defined in this
   document presents no additional risk beyond that associated with the
   existing link attribute information already supported in [RFC7752].

4. IANA Considerations

IANA has made assignments in the "BGP-LS Node Descriptor, Link Descriptor, Prefix Descriptor, and Attribute TLVs" registry for the new Link Attribute TLVs as listed below: TLV Code Point Description -------------------------------------------------------- 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
