1.  Introduction

   Segment Routing (SR) allows a flexible definition of end-to-end paths
   within IGP topologies by encoding paths as sequences of topological
   subpaths called "segments".  These segments are advertised by the
   link-state routing protocols (IS-IS and OSPF).  Prefix segments
   represent an ECMP-aware shortest path to a prefix (or a node), as per
   the state of the IGP topology.  Adjacency segments represent a hop
   over a specific adjacency between two nodes in the IGP.  A prefix
   segment is typically a multi-hop path while an adjacency segment, in
   most cases, is a one-hop path.  SR's control plane can be applied to
   both IPv6 and MPLS data planes, and it does not require any
   additional signaling (other than IGP extensions).  The IPv6 data
   plane is out of the scope of this specification; it is not applicable
   to OSPFv2, which only supports the IPv4 address family.  When used in
   MPLS networks, SR paths do not require any LDP or RSVP-TE signaling.
   However, SR can interoperate in the presence of LSPs established with
   RSVP or LDP.

   There are additional segment types, e.g., Binding Segment Identifier
   (SID) defined in [RFC8402].

   This document describes the OSPF extensions required for Segment
   Routing.

   Segment Routing architecture is described in [RFC8402].

   Segment Routing use cases are described in [RFC7855].

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.

2.  Segment Routing Identifiers

   Segment Routing defines various types of Segment Identifiers (SIDs):
   Prefix-SID, Adjacency SID, LAN Adjacency SID, and Binding SID.

   Extended Prefix/Link Opaque Link State Advertisements (LSAs) defined
   in [RFC7684] are used for advertisements of the various SID types.

2.1.  SID/Label Sub-TLV

   The SID/Label Sub-TLV appears in multiple TLVs or sub-TLVs defined
   later in this document.  It is used to advertise the SID or label
   associated with a prefix or adjacency.  The SID/Label Sub-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
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |              Type             |             Length            |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |                         SID/Label (variable)                  |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   where:

      Type:  1

      Length:  3 or 4 octets

      SID/Label:  If the length is set to 3, then the 20 rightmost bits
         represent a label.  If the length is set to 4, then the value
         represents a 32-bit SID.

3.  Segment Routing Capabilities

   Segment Routing requires some additional router capabilities to be
   advertised to other routers in the area.

   These SR capabilities are advertised in the Router Information Opaque
   LSA (defined in [RFC7770]).  The TLVs defined below are applicable to
   both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3; see also [RFC8666].

3.1.  SR-Algorithm TLV

   The SR-Algorithm TLV is a top-level TLV of the Router Information
   Opaque LSA (defined in [RFC7770]).

   The SR-Algorithm TLV is optional.  It SHOULD only be advertised once
   in the Router Information Opaque LSA.  If the SR-Algorithm TLV is not
   advertised by the node, such a node is considered as not being
   Segment Routing capable.

   An SR Router can use various algorithms when calculating reachability
   to OSPF routers or prefixes in an OSPF area.  Examples of these
   algorithms are metric-based Shortest Path First (SPF), various
   flavors of Constrained SPF, etc.  The SR-Algorithm TLV allows a
   router to advertise the algorithms currently used by the router to
   other routers in an OSPF area.  The SR-Algorithm 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
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |              Type             |             Length            |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |   Algorithm 1 | Algorithm...  |   Algorithm n |               |
   +-                                                             -+
   |                                                               |
   +                                                               +

   where:

      Type:  8

      Length:  Variable, in octets, depending on the number of
         algorithms advertised

      Algorithm:  Single octet identifying the algorithm.  The following
         values are defined by this document:

         0:    Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm based on link metric.
               This is the standard shortest path algorithm as computed
               by the OSPF protocol.  Consistent with the deployed
               practice for link-state protocols, Algorithm 0 permits
               any node to overwrite the SPF path with a different path
               based on its local policy.  If the SR-Algorithm TLV is
               advertised, Algorithm 0 MUST be included.

         1:    Strict Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm based on link
               metric.  The algorithm is identical to Algorithm 0, but
               Algorithm 1 requires that all nodes along the path will
               honor the SPF routing decision.  Local policy at the node
               claiming support for Algorithm 1 MUST NOT alter the SPF
               paths computed by Algorithm 1.

   When multiple SR-Algorithm TLVs are received from a given router, the
   receiver MUST use the first occurrence of the TLV in the Router
   Information Opaque LSA.  If the SR-Algorithm TLV appears in multiple
   Router Information Opaque LSAs that have different flooding scopes,
   the SR-Algorithm TLV in the Router Information Opaque LSA with the
   area-scoped flooding scope MUST be used.  If the SR-Algorithm TLV
   appears in multiple Router Information Opaque LSAs that have the same
   flooding scope, the SR-Algorithm TLV in the Router Information (RI)
   Opaque LSA with the numerically smallest Instance ID MUST be used and
   subsequent instances of the SR-Algorithm TLV MUST be ignored.

   The RI LSA can be advertised at any of the defined opaque flooding
   scopes (link, area, or Autonomous System (AS)).  For the purpose of
   SR-Algorithm TLV advertisement, area-scoped flooding is REQUIRED.

3.2.  SID/Label Range TLV

   Prefix-SIDs MAY be advertised in the form of an index as described in
   Section 5.  Such an index defines the offset in the SID/Label space
   advertised by the router.  The SID/Label Range TLV is used to
   advertise such SID/Label space.

   The SID/Label Range TLV is a top-level TLV of the Router Information
   Opaque LSA (defined in [RFC7770]).

   The SID/Label Range TLV MAY appear multiple times and 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
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |              Type             |             Length            |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |                    Range Size                 |   Reserved    |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |                        Sub-TLVs (variable)                    |
   +-                                                             -+
   |                                                               |
   +                                                               +

   where:

      Type:  9

      Length:  Variable, in octets, depending on the sub-TLVs

      Range Size:  3-octet SID/label range size (i.e., the number of
         SIDs or labels in the range including the first SID/label).  It
         MUST be greater than 0.

      Reserved:  SHOULD be set to 0 on transmission and MUST be ignored
         on reception

   Initially, the only supported sub-TLV is the SID/Label Sub-TLV as
   defined in Section 2.1.  The SID/Label Sub-TLV MUST be included in
   the SID/Label Range TLV.  The SID/Label advertised in the SID/Label
   Sub-TLV represents the first SID/Label in the advertised range.

   Only a single SID/Label Sub-TLV MAY be advertised in the SID/Label
   Range TLV.  If more than one SID/Label Sub-TLV is present, the SID/
   Label Range TLV MUST be ignored.

   Multiple occurrences of the SID/Label Range TLV MAY be advertised in
   order to advertise multiple ranges.  In such a case:

   *  The originating router MUST encode each range into a different
      SID/Label Range TLV.

   *  The originating router decides the order in which the set of SID/
      Label Range TLVs are advertised inside the Router Information
      Opaque LSA.  The originating router MUST ensure the order is the
      same after a graceful restart (using checkpointing, nonvolatile
      storage, or any other mechanism) in order to ensure the SID/Label
      range and SID index correspondence is preserved across graceful
      restarts.

   *  The receiving router MUST adhere to the order in which the ranges
      are advertised when calculating a SID/Label from a SID index.

   *  The originating router MUST NOT advertise overlapping ranges.

   *  When a router receives multiple overlapping ranges, it MUST
      conform to the procedures defined in [RFC8660].

   The following example illustrates the advertisement of multiple
   ranges.

   The originating router advertises the following ranges:

         Range 1: Range Size: 100   SID/Label Sub-TLV: 100
         Range 1: Range Size: 100   SID/Label Sub-TLV: 1000
         Range 1: Range Size: 100   SID/Label Sub-TLV: 500

   The receiving routers concatenate the ranges and build the Segment
   Routing Global Block (SRGB) as follows:

      SRGB = [100, 199]
             [1000, 1099]
             [500, 599]

   The indexes span multiple ranges:

         index 0 means label 100
         ...
         index 99 means label 199
         index 100 means label 1000
         index 199 means label 1099
         ...
         index 200 means label 500
         ...

   The RI LSA can be advertised at any of the defined flooding scopes
   (link, area, or autonomous system (AS)).  For the purpose of SID/
   Label Range TLV advertisement, area-scoped flooding is REQUIRED.

3.3.  SR Local Block TLV

   The SR Local Block TLV (SRLB TLV) contains the range of labels the
   node has reserved for Local SIDs.  SIDs from the SRLB MAY be used for
   Adjacency SIDs but also by components other than the OSPF protocol.
   As an example, an application or a controller can instruct the router
   to allocate a specific Local SID.  Some controllers or applications
   can use the control plane to discover the available set of Local SIDs
   on a particular router.  In such cases, the SRLB is advertised in the
   control plane.  The requirement to advertise the SRLB is further
   described in [RFC8660].  The SRLB TLV is used to advertise the SRLB.

   The SRLB TLV is a top-level TLV of the Router Information Opaque LSA
   (defined in [RFC7770]).

   The SRLB TLV MAY appear multiple times in the Router Information
   Opaque LSA and 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
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |              Type             |             Length            |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |                    Range Size                 |   Reserved    |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |                        Sub-TLVs (variable)                    |
   +-                                                             -+
   |                                                               |
   +                                                               +

   where:

      Type:  14

      Length:  Variable, in octets, depending on the sub-TLVs

      Range Size:  3-octet SID/Label range size (i.e., the number of
         SIDs or labels in the range including the first SID/Label).  It
         MUST be greater than 0.

      Reserved:  SHOULD be set to 0 on transmission and MUST be ignored
         on reception

   Initially, the only supported sub-TLV is the SID/Label Sub-TLV as
   defined in Section 2.1.  The SID/Label Sub-TLV MUST be included in
   the SRLB TLV.  The SID/Label advertised in the SID/Label Sub-TLV
   represents the first SID/Label in the advertised range.

   Only a single SID/Label Sub-TLV MAY be advertised in the SRLB TLV.
   If more than one SID/Label Sub-TLV is present, the SRLB TLV MUST be
   ignored.

   The originating router MUST NOT advertise overlapping ranges.

   Each time a SID from the SRLB is allocated, it SHOULD also be
   reported to all components (e.g., controller or applications) in
   order for these components to have an up-to-date view of the current
   SRLB allocation.  This is required to avoid collisions between
   allocation instructions.

   Within the context of OSPF, the reporting of Local SIDs is done
   through OSPF sub-TLVs, such as the Adjacency SID (Section 6).
   However, the reporting of allocated Local SIDs can also be done
   through other means and protocols, which are outside the scope of
   this document.

   A router advertising the SRLB TLV MAY also have other label ranges,
   outside of the SRLB, used for its local allocation purposes and not
   advertised in the SRLB TLV.  For example, it is possible that an
   Adjacency SID is allocated using a local label that is not part of
   the SRLB.

   The RI LSA can be advertised at any of the defined flooding scopes
   (link, area, or autonomous system (AS)).  For the purpose of SRLB TLV
   advertisement, area-scoped flooding is REQUIRED.

3.4.  SRMS Preference TLV

   The Segment Routing Mapping Server Preference TLV (SRMS Preference
   TLV) is used to advertise a preference associated with the node that
   acts as an SR Mapping Server.  The role of an SRMS is described in
   [RFC8661].  SRMS preference is defined in [RFC8661].

   The SRMS Preference TLV is a top-level TLV of the Router Information
   Opaque LSA (defined in [RFC7770]).

   The SRMS Preference TLV MAY only be advertised once in the Router
   Information Opaque LSA and 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
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |              Type             |             Length            |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |   Preference    |                 Reserved                    |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   where:

      Type:  15

      Length:  4 octets

      Preference:  1 octet, with an SRMS preference value from 0 to 255

      Reserved:  SHOULD be set to 0 on transmission and MUST be ignored
         on reception

   When multiple SRMS Preference TLVs are received from a given router,
   the receiver MUST use the first occurrence of the TLV in the Router
   Information Opaque LSA.  If the SRMS Preference TLV appears in
   multiple Router Information Opaque LSAs that have different flooding
   scopes, the SRMS Preference TLV in the Router Information Opaque LSA
   with the narrowest flooding scope MUST be used.  If the SRMS
   Preference TLV appears in multiple Router Information Opaque LSAs
   that have the same flooding scope, the SRMS Preference TLV in the
   Router Information Opaque LSA with the numerically smallest Instance
   ID MUST be used and subsequent instances of the SRMS Preference TLV
   MUST be ignored.

   The RI LSA can be advertised at any of the defined flooding scopes
   (link, area, or autonomous system (AS)).  For the purpose of the SRMS
   Preference TLV advertisement, AS-scoped flooding SHOULD be used.
   This is because SRMS servers can be located in a different area than
   consumers of the SRMS advertisements.  If the SRMS advertisements
   from the SRMS server are only used inside the SRMS server's area,
   area-scoped flooding MAY be used.

4.  OSPF Extended Prefix Range TLV

   In some cases, it is useful to advertise attributes for a range of
   prefixes.  The SR Mapping Server, which is described in [RFC8661], is
   an example where we need a single advertisement to advertise SIDs for
   multiple prefixes from a contiguous address range.

   The OSPF Extended Prefix Range TLV, which is a top-level TLV of the
   Extended Prefix LSA described in [RFC7684] is defined for this
   purpose.

   Multiple OSPF Extended Prefix Range TLVs MAY be advertised in each
   OSPF Extended Prefix Opaque LSA, but all prefix ranges included in a
   single OSPF Extended Prefix Opaque LSA MUST have the same flooding
   scope.  The OSPF Extended Prefix Range 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

   +-                                                             -+
   |                                                               |

   where:

      Type:  2

      Length:  Variable, in octets, depending on the sub-TLVs

      Prefix Length:  Length of prefix in bits

      AF:  Address family for the prefix.  Currently, the only supported
         value is 0 for IPv4 unicast.  The inclusion of address family
         in this TLV allows for future extension.

      Range Size:  Represents the number of prefixes that are covered by
         the advertisement.  The Range Size MUST NOT exceed the number
         of prefixes that could be satisfied by the Prefix Length
         without including the IPv4 multicast address range
         (224.0.0.0/3).

      Flags:  Single-octet field.  The following flags are defined:

              0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7
            +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
            |IA|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
            +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

         where:

            IA-Flag:  Inter-Area Flag.  If set, advertisement is of
               inter-area type.  An Area Border Router (ABR) that is
               advertising the OSPF Extended Prefix Range TLV between
               areas MUST set this bit.

               This bit is used to prevent redundant flooding of Prefix
               Range TLVs between areas as follows:

                  An ABR only propagates an inter-area Prefix Range
                  advertisement from the backbone area to connected
                  nonbackbone areas if the advertisement is considered
                  to be the best one.  The following rules are used to
                  select the best range from the set of advertisements
                  for the same Prefix Range:

                     An ABR always prefers intra-area Prefix Range
                     advertisements over inter-area advertisements.

                     An ABR does not consider inter-area Prefix Range
                     advertisements coming from nonbackbone areas.

      Reserved:  SHOULD be set to 0 on transmission and MUST be ignored
         on reception

      Address Prefix:  For the address family IPv4 unicast, the prefix
         itself is encoded as a 32-bit value.  The default route is
         represented by a prefix of length 0.  Prefix encoding for other
         address families is beyond the scope of this specification.

5.  Prefix-SID Sub-TLV

   The Prefix-SID Sub-TLV is a sub-TLV of the OSPF Extended Prefix TLV
   described in [RFC7684] and the OSPF Extended Prefix Range TLV
   described in Section 4.  It MAY appear more than once in the parent
   TLV and 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
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |              Type             |             Length            |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |      Flags    |   Reserved    |      MT-ID    |    Algorithm  |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |                     SID/Index/Label (variable)                |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

   where:

      Type:  2

      Length:  7 or 8 octets, depending on the V-Flag

      Flags:  Single-octet field.  The following flags are defined:

              0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7
            +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
            |  |NP|M |E |V |L |  |  |
            +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

         where:

            NP-Flag:  No-PHP (Penultimate Hop Popping) Flag.  If set,
               then the penultimate hop MUST NOT pop the Prefix-SID
               before delivering packets to the node that advertised the
               Prefix-SID.

            M-Flag:  Mapping Server Flag.  If set, the SID was
               advertised by an SR Mapping Server as described in
               [RFC8661].

            E-Flag:  Explicit Null Flag.  If set, any upstream neighbor
               of the Prefix-SID originator MUST replace the Prefix-SID
               with the Explicit NULL label (0 for IPv4) before
               forwarding the packet.

            V-Flag:  Value/Index Flag.  If set, then the Prefix-SID
               carries an absolute value.  If not set, then the Prefix-
               SID carries an index.

            L-Flag:  Local/Global Flag.  If set, then the value/index
               carried by the Prefix-SID has local significance.  If not
               set, then the value/index carried by this sub-TLV has
               global significance.

            Other bits:  Reserved.  These MUST be zero when sent and are
               ignored when received.

      Reserved:  SHOULD be set to 0 on transmission and MUST be ignored
         on reception

      MT-ID:  Multi-Topology ID (as defined in [RFC4915])

      Algorithm:  Single octet identifying the algorithm the Prefix-SID
         is associated with as defined in Section 3.1

         A router receiving a Prefix-SID from a remote node and with an
         algorithm value that the remote node has not advertised in the
         SR-Algorithm TLV (Section 3.1) MUST ignore the Prefix-SID Sub-
         TLV.

      SID/Index/Label:  According to the V- and L-Flags, it contains:

            V-Flag is set to 0 and L-Flag is set to 0: The SID/Index/
            Label field is a 4-octet index defining the offset in the
            SID/Label space advertised by this router.

            V-Flag is set to 1 and L-Flag is set to 1: The SID/Index/
            Label field is a 3-octet local label where the 20 rightmost
            bits are used for encoding the label value.

            All other combinations of V-Flag and L-Flag are invalid and
            any SID Advertisement received with an invalid setting for
            V- and L-Flags MUST be ignored.

   If an OSPF router advertises multiple Prefix-SIDs for the same
   prefix, topology, and algorithm, all of them MUST be ignored.

   When calculating the outgoing label for the prefix, the router MUST
   take into account, as described below, the E-, NP-, and M-Flags
   advertised by the next-hop router if that router advertised the SID
   for the prefix.  This MUST be done regardless of whether the next-hop
   router contributes to the best path to the prefix.

   The NP-Flag (No-PHP) MUST be set and the E-Flag MUST be clear for
   Prefix-SIDs allocated to inter-area prefixes that are originated by
   the ABR based on intra-area or inter-area reachability between areas
   unless the advertised prefix is directly attached to the ABR.

   The NP-Flag (No-PHP) MUST be set and the E-Flag MUST be clear for
   Prefix-SIDs allocated to redistributed prefixes, unless the
   redistributed prefix is directly attached to the Autonomous System
   Boundary Router (ASBR).

   If the NP-Flag is not set, then:

      Any upstream neighbor of the Prefix-SID originator MUST pop the
      Prefix-SID.  This is equivalent to the penultimate hop-popping
      mechanism used in the MPLS data plane.

      The received E-Flag is ignored.

   If the NP-Flag is set and the E-Flag is not set, then:

      Any upstream neighbor of the Prefix-SID originator MUST keep the
      Prefix-SID on top of the stack.  This is useful when the
      originator of the Prefix-SID needs to stitch the incoming packet
      into a continuing MPLS LSP to the final destination.  This could
      occur at an ABR (prefix propagation from one area to another) or
      at an ASBR (prefix propagation from one domain to another).

   If both the NP-Flag and E-Flag are set, then:

      Any upstream neighbor of the Prefix-SID originator MUST replace
      the Prefix-SID with an Explicit NULL label.  This is useful, e.g.,
      when the originator of the Prefix-SID is the final destination for
      the related prefix and the originator wishes to receive the packet
      with the original EXP bits.

   When the M-Flag is set, the NP-Flag and the E-Flag MUST be ignored on
   reception.

   As the Mapping Server does not specify the originator of a prefix
   advertisement, it is not possible to determine PHP behavior solely
   based on the Mapping Server Advertisement.  However, PHP behavior
   SHOULD be done in the following cases:

      The Prefix is intra-area type and the downstream neighbor is the
      originator of the prefix.

      The Prefix is inter-area type and the downstream neighbor is an
      ABR, which is advertising prefix reachability and is also
      generating the Extended Prefix TLV with the A-Flag set for this
      prefix as described in Section 2.1 of [RFC7684].

      The Prefix is external type and the downstream neighbor is an
      ASBR, which is advertising prefix reachability and is also
      generating the Extended Prefix TLV with the A-Flag set for this
      prefix as described in Section 2.1 of [RFC7684].

   When a Prefix-SID is advertised in an Extended Prefix Range TLV, then
   the value advertised in the Prefix-SID Sub-TLV is interpreted as a
   starting SID/Label value.

   Example 1: If the following router addresses (loopback addresses)
   need to be mapped into the corresponding Prefix-SID indexes:

             Router-A: 192.0.2.1/32, Prefix-SID: Index 1
             Router-B: 192.0.2.2/32, Prefix-SID: Index 2
             Router-C: 192.0.2.3/32, Prefix-SID: Index 3
             Router-D: 192.0.2.4/32, Prefix-SID: Index 4

   then the Prefix field in the Extended Prefix Range TLV would be set
   to 192.0.2.1, Prefix Length would be set to 32, Range Size would be
   set to 4, and the Index value in the Prefix-SID Sub-TLV would be set
   to 1.

   Example 2: If the following prefixes need to be mapped into the
   corresponding Prefix-SID indexes:

              192.0.2.0/30, Prefix-SID: Index 51
              192.0.2.4/30, Prefix-SID: Index 52
              192.0.2.8/30, Prefix-SID: Index 53
             192.0.2.12/30, Prefix-SID: Index 54
             192.0.2.16/30, Prefix-SID: Index 55
             192.0.2.20/30, Prefix-SID: Index 56
             192.0.2.24/30, Prefix-SID: Index 57

   then the Prefix field in the Extended Prefix Range TLV would be set
   to 192.0.2.0, Prefix Length would be set to 30, Range Size would be
   7, and the Index value in the Prefix-SID Sub-TLV would be set to 51.

6.  Adjacency Segment Identifier (Adj-SID)

   An Adjacency Segment Identifier (Adj-SID) represents a router
   adjacency in Segment Routing.

6.1.  Adj-SID Sub-TLV

   Adj-SID is an optional sub-TLV of the Extended Link TLV defined in
   [RFC7684].  It MAY appear multiple times in the Extended Link TLV.
   The Adj-SID Sub-TLV has the following format:

    0                   1                   2                   3

   +---------------------------------------------------------------+

   where:

      Type:  2

      Length:  7 or 8 octets, depending on the V-Flag

      Flags:  Single-octet field containing the following flags:

             0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
            +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
            |B|V|L|G|P|     |
            +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

         where:

                        B-Flag:  Backup Flag.  If set, the Adj-SID refers to an 
               adjacency that is eligible for protection (e.g., using IP
               Fast Reroute or MPLS-FRR (MPLS-Fast Reroute) as described
               in Section 3.4 of [RFC8402].
EID 6838 (Verified) is as follows:

Section: 6.1

Original Text:

            B-Flag:  Backup Flag.  If set, the Adj-SID refers to an
               adjacency that is eligible for protection (e.g., using IP
               Fast Reroute or MPLS-FRR (MPLS-Fast Reroute) as described
               in Section 2.1 of [RFC8402].

Corrected Text:

            B-Flag:  Backup Flag.  If set, the Adj-SID refers to an
               adjacency that is eligible for protection (e.g., using IP
               Fast Reroute or MPLS-FRR (MPLS-Fast Reroute) as described
               in Section 3.4 of [RFC8402].
Notes:
I don't see any section 2.1 in RFC 8402. Reference of section 2.1 of RFC 8402 seems incorrect. It should be section 3.4 as per my understanding. Kindly fix it if possible.
V-Flag: Value/Index Flag. If set, then the Adj-SID carries an absolute value. If not set, then the Adj-SID carries an index. L-Flag: Local/Global Flag. If set, then the value/index carried by the Adj-SID has local significance. If not set, then the value/index carried by this sub-TLV has global significance. G-Flag: Group Flag. When set, the G-Flag indicates that the Adj-SID refers to a group of adjacencies (and therefore MAY be assigned to other adjacencies as well). P-Flag: Persistent Flag. When set, the P-Flag indicates that the Adj-SID is persistently allocated, i.e., the Adj-SID value remains consistent across router restart and/or interface flap. Other bits: Reserved. These MUST be zero when sent and are ignored when received. Reserved: SHOULD be set to 0 on transmission and MUST be ignored on reception MT-ID: Multi-Topology ID (as defined in [RFC4915] Weight: Weight used for load-balancing purposes. The use of the weight is defined in [RFC8402]. SID/Index/Label: As described in Section 5 An SR-capable router MAY allocate an Adj-SID for each of its adjacencies and set the B-Flag when the adjacency is eligible for protection by an FRR mechanism (IP or MPLS) as described in Section 3.5 of [RFC8402]. An SR-capable router MAY allocate more than one Adj-SID to an adjacency. An SR-capable router MAY allocate the same Adj-SID to different adjacencies. When the P-Flag is not set, the Adj-SID MAY be persistent. When the P-Flag is set, the Adj-SID MUST be persistent. 6.2. LAN Adj-SID Sub-TLV The LAN Adjacency SID is an optional sub-TLV of the Extended Link TLV defined in [RFC7684]. It MAY appear multiple times in the Extended Link TLV. It is used to advertise a SID/Label for an adjacency to a non-DR (Designated Router) router on a broadcast, Non-Broadcast Multi-Access (NBMA), or hybrid [RFC6845] network. 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 +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Type | Length | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Flags | Reserved | MT-ID | Weight | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | Neighbor ID | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ | SID/Label/Index (variable) | +---------------------------------------------------------------+ where: Type: 3 Length: 11 or 12 octets, depending on the V-Flag Flags: Same as in Section 6.1 Reserved: SHOULD be set to 0 on transmission and MUST be ignored on reception MT-ID: Multi-Topology ID (as defined in [RFC4915]) Weight: Weight used for load-balancing purposes. The use of the weight is defined in [RFC8402]. Neighbor ID: The Router ID of the neighbor for which the LAN Adjacency SID is advertised SID/Index/Label: As described in Section 5 When the P-Flag is not set, the LAN Adjacency SID MAY be persistent. When the P-Flag is set, the LAN Adjacency SID MUST be persistent. 7. Elements of Procedure 7.1. Intra-area Segment Routing in OSPFv2 An OSPFv2 router that supports Segment Routing MAY advertise Prefix- SIDs for any prefix to which it is advertising reachability (e.g., a loopback IP address as described in Section 5). A Prefix-SID can also be advertised by the SR Mapping Servers (as described in [RFC8661]). A Mapping Server advertises Prefix-SIDs for remote prefixes that exist in the OSPFv2 routing domain. Multiple Mapping Servers can advertise Prefix-SIDs for the same prefix; in which case, the same Prefix-SID MUST be advertised by all of them. The flooding scope of the OSPF Extended Prefix Opaque LSA that is generated by the SR Mapping Server could be either area scoped or AS scoped and is determined based on the configuration of the SR Mapping Server. An SR Mapping Server MUST use the OSPF Extended Prefix Range TLV when advertising SIDs for prefixes. Prefixes of different route types can be combined in a single OSPF Extended Prefix Range TLV advertised by an SR Mapping Server. Because the OSPF Extended Prefix Range TLV doesn't include a Route-Type field, as in the OSPF Extended Prefix TLV, it is possible to include adjacent prefixes from different route types in the OSPF Extended Prefix Range TLV. Area-scoped OSPF Extended Prefix Range TLVs are propagated between areas. Similar to propagation of prefixes between areas, an ABR only propagates the OSPF Extended Prefix Range TLV that it considers to be the best from the set it received. The rules used to pick the best OSPF Extended Prefix Range TLV are described in Section 4. When propagating an OSPF Extended Prefix Range TLV between areas, ABRs MUST set the IA-Flag. This is used to prevent redundant flooding of the OSPF Extended Prefix Range TLV between areas as described in Section 4. 7.2. Inter-area Segment Routing in OSPFv2 In order to support SR in a multiarea environment, OSPFv2 MUST propagate Prefix-SID information between areas. The following procedure is used to propagate Prefix-SIDs between areas. When an OSPF ABR advertises a Type-3 Summary LSA from an intra-area prefix to all its connected areas, it will also originate an OSPF Extended Prefix Opaque LSA as described in [RFC7684]. The flooding scope of the OSPF Extended Prefix Opaque LSA type will be set to area-local scope. The route type in the OSPF Extended Prefix TLV is set to inter-area. The Prefix-SID Sub-TLV will be included in this LSA and the Prefix-SID value will be set as follows: The ABR will look at its best path to the prefix in the source area and find the advertising router associated with the best path to that prefix. The ABR will then determine if this router advertised a Prefix-SID for the prefix and use it when advertising the Prefix-SID to other connected areas. If no Prefix-SID was advertised for the prefix in the source area by the router that contributes to the best path to the prefix, the originating ABR will use the Prefix-SID advertised by any other router when propagating the Prefix-SID for the prefix to other areas. When an OSPF ABR advertises Type-3 Summary LSAs from an inter-area route to all its connected areas, it will also originate an OSPF Extended Prefix Opaque LSA as described in [RFC7684]. The flooding scope of the OSPF Extended Prefix Opaque LSA type will be set to area-local scope. The route type in the OSPF Extended Prefix TLV is set to inter-area. The Prefix-SID Sub-TLV will be included in this LSA and the Prefix-SID will be set as follows: The ABR will look at its best path to the prefix in the backbone area and find the advertising router associated with the best path to that prefix. The ABR will then determine if such a router advertised a Prefix- SID for the prefix and use it when advertising the Prefix-SID to other connected areas. If no Prefix-SID was advertised for the prefix in the backbone area by the ABR that contributes to the best path to the prefix, the originating ABR will use the Prefix-SID advertised by any other router when propagating the Prefix-SID for the prefix to other areas. 7.3. Segment Routing for External Prefixes Type-5 LSAs are flooded domain wide. When an ASBR, which supports SR, generates Type-5 LSAs, it SHOULD also originate OSPF Extended Prefix Opaque LSAs as described in [RFC7684]. The flooding scope of the OSPF Extended Prefix Opaque LSA type is set to AS-wide scope. The route type in the OSPF Extended Prefix TLV is set to external. The Prefix-SID Sub-TLV is included in this LSA and the Prefix-SID value will be set to the SID that has been reserved for that prefix. When a Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA) [RFC3101] ABR translates Type-7 LSAs into Type-5 LSAs, it SHOULD also advertise the Prefix-SID for the prefix. The NSSA ABR determines its best path to the prefix advertised in the translated Type-7 LSA and finds the advertising router associated with that path. If the advertising router has advertised a Prefix-SID for the prefix, then the NSSA ABR uses it when advertising the Prefix-SID for the Type-5 prefix. Otherwise, the Prefix-SID advertised by any other router will be used. 7.4. Advertisement of Adj-SID The Adjacency Segment Routing Identifier (Adj-SID) is advertised using the Adj-SID Sub-TLV as described in Section 6. 7.4.1. Advertisement of Adj-SID on Point-to-Point Links An Adj-SID MAY be advertised for any adjacency on a point-to-point (P2P) link that is in neighbor state 2-Way or higher. If the adjacency on a P2P link transitions from the FULL state, then the Adj-SID for that adjacency MAY be removed from the area. If the adjacency transitions to a state lower than 2-Way, then the Adj-SID Advertisement MUST be withdrawn from the area. 7.4.2. Adjacency SID on Broadcast or NBMA Interfaces Broadcast, NBMA, or hybrid [RFC6845] networks in OSPF are represented by a star topology where the Designated Router (DR) is the central point to which all other routers on the broadcast, NBMA, or hybrid network connect. As a result, routers on the broadcast, NBMA, or hybrid network advertise only their adjacency to the DR. Routers that do not act as DR do not form or advertise adjacencies with each other. They do, however, maintain 2-Way adjacency state with each other and are directly reachable. When Segment Routing is used, each router on the broadcast, NBMA, or hybrid network MAY advertise the Adj-SID for its adjacency to the DR using the Adj-SID Sub-TLV as described in Section 6.1. SR-capable routers MAY also advertise a LAN Adjacency SID for other neighbors (e.g., Backup Designated Router, DR-OTHER, etc.) on the broadcast, NBMA, or hybrid network using the LAN Adj-SID Sub-TLV as described in Section 6.2. 8. IANA Considerations This specification updates several existing OSPF registries and creates a new IGP registry. 8.1. OSPF Router Information (RI) TLVs Registry The following values have been allocated: +-------+---------------------+---------------+ | Value | TLV Name | Reference | +=======+=====================+===============+ | 8 | SR-Algorithm TLV | This document | +-------+---------------------+---------------+ | 9 | SID/Label Range TLV | This document | +-------+---------------------+---------------+ | 14 | SR Local Block TLV | This document | +-------+---------------------+---------------+ | 15 | SRMS Preference TLV | This document | +-------+---------------------+---------------+ Table 1: OSPF Router Information (RI) TLVs 8.2. OSPFv2 Extended Prefix Opaque LSA TLVs Registry The following values have been allocated: +-------+--------------------------------+---------------+ | Value | Description | Reference | +=======+================================+===============+ | 2 | OSPF Extended Prefix Range TLV | This document | +-------+--------------------------------+---------------+ Table 2: OSPFv2 Extended Prefix Opaque LSA TLVs 8.3. OSPFv2 Extended Prefix TLV Sub-TLVs Registry The following values have been allocated: +-------+--------------------+---------------+ | Value | Description | Reference | +=======+====================+===============+ | 1 | SID/Label Sub-TLV | This document | +-------+--------------------+---------------+ | 2 | Prefix-SID Sub-TLV | This document | +-------+--------------------+---------------+ Table 3: OSPFv2 Extended Prefix TLV Sub-TLVs 8.4. OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV Sub-TLVs Registry The following initial values have been allocated: +-------+---------------------------+---------------+ | Value | Description | Reference | +=======+===========================+===============+ | 1 | SID/Label Sub-TLV | This document | +-------+---------------------------+---------------+ | 2 | Adj-SID Sub-TLV | This document | +-------+---------------------------+---------------+ | 3 | LAN Adj-SID/Label Sub-TLV | This document | +-------+---------------------------+---------------+ Table 4: OSPFv2 Extended Link TLV Sub-TLVs 8.5. IGP Algorithm Types Registry IANA has set up a subregistry called "IGP Algorithm Type" under the "Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) Parameters" registry. The registration policy for this registry is "Standards Action" ([RFC8126] and [RFC7120]). Values in this registry come from the range 0-255. The initial values in the IGP Algorithm Type registry are as follows: +-------+--------------------------------------------+-----------+ | Value | Description | Reference | +=======+============================================+===========+ | 0 | Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm based | This | | | on link metric. This is the standard | document | | | shortest path algorithm as computed by the | | | | IGP protocol. Consistent with the | | | | deployed practice for link-state | | | | protocols, Algorithm 0 permits any node to | | | | overwrite the SPF path with a different | | | | path based on its local policy. | | +-------+--------------------------------------------+-----------+ | 1 | Strict Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm | This | | | based on link metric. The algorithm is | document | | | identical to Algorithm 0, but Algorithm 1 | | | | requires that all nodes along the path | | | | will honor the SPF routing decision. | | | | Local policy at the node claiming support | | | | for Algorithm 1 MUST NOT alter the SPF | | | | paths computed by Algorithm 1. | | +-------+--------------------------------------------+-----------+ Table 5: IGP Algorithm Types 9. TLV/Sub-TLV Error Handling For any new TLVs/sub-TLVs defined in this document, if the length is invalid, the LSA in which it is advertised is considered malformed and MUST be ignored. An error SHOULD be logged subject to rate limiting. 10. Security Considerations With the OSPFv2 Segment Routing extensions defined herein, OSPFv2 will now program the MPLS data plane [RFC3031] in addition to the IP data plane. Previously, LDP [RFC5036] or another label distribution mechanism was required to advertise MPLS labels and program the MPLS data plane. In general, the same types of attacks that can be carried out on the IP control plane can be carried out on the MPLS control plane resulting in traffic being misrouted in the respective data planes. However, the latter can be more difficult to detect and isolate. Existing security extensions as described in [RFC2328] and [RFC7684] apply to these Segment Routing extensions. While OSPF is under a single administrative domain, there can be deployments where potential attackers have access to one or more networks in the OSPF routing domain. In these deployments, stronger authentication mechanisms such as those specified in [RFC7474] SHOULD be used. Implementations MUST assure that malformed TLVs and sub-TLVs defined in this document are detected and do not provide a vulnerability for attackers to crash the OSPFv2 router or routing process. Reception of malformed TLVs or sub-TLVs SHOULD be counted and/or logged for further analysis. Logging of malformed TLVs and sub-TLVs SHOULD be rate limited to prevent a Denial of Service (DoS) attack (distributed or otherwise) from overloading the OSPF control plane. 11. References 11.1.
