    <section title="Introduction">
      <t>Segment Routing (SR) allows for a flexible definition of end-to-end
      paths within IGP topologies by encoding paths as sequences of
      topological sub-paths, 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 of the
      cases, is a one-hop path. SR's control-plane can be applied to both IPv6
      and MPLS data-planes, and do not require any additional signaling (other
      than the regular IGP). For example, when used in MPLS networks, SR paths
      do not require any LDP or RSVP-TE signaling. Still, SR can interoperate
      in the presence of LSPs established with RSVP or LDP .</t>

      <t>This draft describes the necessary OSPF extensions that need to be
      introduced for Segment Routing.</t>

      <t>Segment Routing architecture is described in <xref
      target="I-D.filsfils-rtgwg-segment-routing"/>.</t>

      <t>Segment Routing use cases are described in <xref

    </section>

    <section title="Segment Routing Identifiers">
      <t>Segment Routing defines various types of Segment Identifiers (SIDs):
      Prefix-SID, Adjacency-SID, LAN Adjacency SID and Binding SID.</t>

      <t>For the purpose of the advertisements of various SID values new
      Opaque LSAs (defined in <xref target="RFC5250"/>) are defined. These new
      LSAs are defined as generic containers that can be used in order to
      advertise any additional attributes associated with the prefix or link.
      These new Opaque LSAs are complementary to the existing LSAs and are not
      aimed to replace any of the existing LSAs.</t>

      <section anchor="SIDLABEL" title="SID/Label sub-TLV">
        <t>SID/Label sub-TLV appears in multiple TLVs or sub-TLVs defined
        later in this document. It is used to advertise SID or label
        associated with the prefix or adjacency. SID/Label TLV has following
        format:<figure>

            <t>SID/Label: if length is set to 3, then the 20 rightmost bits

    <section anchor="SRCAP" title="Segment Routing Capabilities">
      <t>Segment Routing requires some additional capabilities of the router
      to be advertised to other routers in the area.</t>

      <t>These SR capabilities are advertised in Router Information Opaque LSA
      (defined in <xref target="RFC4970"/>).</t>

      <section anchor="SRALGO" title="SR-Algorithm TLV">
        <t>SR-Algorithm TLV is a TLV of Router Information Opaque LSA (defined
        in <xref target="RFC4970"/>).</t>
        
        <t>The SR-Algorithm Sub-TLV is optional, it MAY only appear once
        inside the Router Informational Opaque LSA. If the SID/Label Range TLV, as
        defined in <xref target="SIDRANGE"/>, is advertised, then SR-Algorithm TLV MUST
        also be advertised.</t>

        <t>Router may use various algorithms when calculating reachability to
        other nodes in area or to prefixes attached to these nodes. Examples
        of these algorithms are metric based Shortest Path First (SPF),
        various sorts of Constrained SPF, etc. SR-Algorithm TLV allows a
        router to advertise algorithms that router is currently using to other
        routers in an area. SR-Algorithm TLV has following structure: <figure>

        <t>Currently the only supported Sub-TLV is the SID/Label TLV as
        defined in <xref target="SIDLABEL"/>. SID/Label advertised in
        SID/Label TLV represents the first SID/Label from the advertised
        range.</t>
        
        <t>Multiple occurrence of the SID/Label Range TLV MAY be
        advertised, in order to advertise multiple ranges. In such case:<list
            style="symbols">

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

            <t>The originating router decides in which order the set of SID/Label Range
            TLVs are advertised inside Router Information Opaque LSA. The originating router
            MUST ensure the order is same after a graceful restart (using checkpointing,
            non-volatile storage or any other mechanism) in order to guarantee the same 
            order before and after graceful restart.</t>
            
            <t> Receiving router must adhere to the order in which the ranges are 
            advertised when calculating a SID/label from the SID index.</t>
          </list></t>

        <t>Here follows an example of advertisement of multiple ranges:<figure
            suppress-title="true">
            <artwork>
   The originating router advertises following ranges:
      Range 1: [100, 199]
      Range 2: [1000, 1099]
      Range 3: [500, 599]

   The receiving routers concatenate the ranges and build the SRGB
   is 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
      ...
</artwork>
          </figure></t>

        <t>RI LSA can be advertised at any of the defined flooding scopes
        (link, area, or autonomous system (AS)). For the purpose of the
        SR-Capability TLV propagation area scope flooding is required.</t>

        <t>P-Flag (no-PHP) MUST NOT be set on the Prefix-SIDs allocated to
        redistributed prefixes, unless the redistributed prefix is directly
        attached to ASBR, in which case the P-Flag SHOULD NOT be set.</t>
        
        <t>If the P-flag is not set then any upstream neighbor of the Prefix-SID
        originator MUST pop the Prefix-SID. This is equivalent to the penultimate

        of the Prefix-SID are not preserved to the ultimate hop (the Prefix-SID
        being removed). If the P-flag is unset the received E-flag is ignored.</t>

        <t> If 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 must stitch the incoming packet into a continuing
        MPLS LSP to the final destination. This could occur at an inter-area border router
        (prefix propagation from one area to another) or at an inter-domain border router 
        (prefix propagation from one domain to another).</t>
         
         <t>If the E-flag is set then any upstream neighbor of the Prefix-SID originator 
         MUST replace the PrefixSID with a Prefix-SID having an Explicit-NULL value. 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.</t>

      <section anchor="SIDBINDING" title="SID/Label Binding sub-TLV">
        <t>SID/Label Binding sub-TLV is used to advertise SID/Label mapping
        for a path to the prefix. </t>
        
        <t>The SID/Label Binding TLV MAY be originated by any router in an
        OSPF domain. The router may advertise a SID/Label binding to a FEC
        along with at least a single 'nexthop style' anchor. The protocol
        supports more than one 'nexthop style' anchor to be attached to a
        SID/Label binding, which results into a simple path description
        language. In analogy to RSVP the terminology for this is called an
        'Explicit Route Object' (ERO). Since ERO style path notation allows to
        anchor SID/label bindings to both link and node IP addresses any
        label switched path, can be described. Furthermore also SID/Label
        Bindings from external protocols can get easily re-advertised.</t>

        <t>The SID/Label Binding TLV may be used for advertising SID/Label
        Bindings and their associated Primary and Backup paths. In one single
        TLV either a primary ERO Path, a backup ERO Path or both are
        advertised. If a router wants to advertise multiple parallel paths
        then it can generate several TLVs for the same Prefix/FEC. Each
        occurrence of a Binding TLV with respect with a given FEC Prefix has
        accumulating and not canceling semantics.</t>

        <t>SID/Label Binding sub-TLV is as sub-TLV of the OSPF Extended Prefix
        TLV. Multiple SID/Label Binding TLVs can be present in OSPF Extended
        Prefix TLV. SID/Label Binding sub-TLV has following format: <figure>

    <section title="Elements of Procedure">
      <section title="Intra-area Segment routing in OSPFv2 ">
        <t>The OSPFv2 node that supports segment routing MAY advertise Prefix-
        SIDs for any prefix that it is advertising reachability for (e.g.
        loopback IP address) as described in <xref target="PREFIXSID"/>.</t>

        <t>If multiple routers advertise Prefix-SID for the same prefix, then
        the Prefix-SID MUST be the same. This is required in order to allow
        traffic load-balancing if multiple equal cost paths to the destination
        exist in the network.</t>

        <t>Prefix-SID can also be advertised by the SR Mapping Servers (as
        described in <xref
        target="I-D.filsfils-rtgwg-segment-routing-use-cases"/>). The Mapping
        Server advertise Prefix-SID for remote prefixes that exist in the
        network. Multiple Mapping Servers can advertise Prefix-SID for the
        same prefix, in which case the same Prefix-SID MUST be advertised by
        all of them. Flooding scope of the OSPF Extended Prefix Opaque LSA
        that is generated by the SR Mapping Server could be either area scope
        or autonomous system scope and is decided based on the configuration
        of the SR Mapping Server.</t>
      </section>

      <section title="Inter-area Segment routing in OSPFv2">
        <t>In order to support SR in a multi-area environment, OSPFv2 must
        propagate Prefix-SID information between areas. The following
        procedure is used in order to propagate Prefix SIDs between areas.</t>

        <t>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 Extended
        Prefix Opaque LSA, as described in <xref target="EXTPXLSA"/>. The
        flooding scope of the Extended Prefix Opaque LSA type will be set to
        area-scope. The route-type in 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: <list style="hanging">
            <t>The ABR will look at its best path to the prefix in the source
            area and find out the advertising router associated with its best
            path to that prefix.</t>

            <t>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, then the ABR will use the Prefix-SID advertised by any
            other router (e.g.: a Prefix-SID coming from an SR Mapping Server
            as defined in <xref
            target="I-D.filsfils-rtgwg-segment-routing-use-cases"/>) when
            propagating Prefix-SID for the prefix to other areas.</t>
          </list></t>

        <t>When an OSPF ABR advertises Type-3 Summary LSAs from an inter-area
        route to all its connected areas it will also originate an Extended
        Prefix Opaque LSA, as described in <xref target="EXTPXLSA"/>. The
        flooding scope of the Extended Prefix Opaque LSA type will be set to
        area-scope. The route-type in 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: <list style="hanging">
            <t>The ABR will look at its best path to the prefix in the source
            area and find out the advertising router associated with its best
            path to that prefix.</t>

            <t>The ABR will then look if such router advertised a Prefix-SID
            for the prefix and use it when advertising the Prefix-SID to other
            connected areas.</t>

            <t>If no Prefix-SID was advertised for the prefix in the source
            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 (e.g.: a Prefix-SID coming from an SR Mapping Server
            as defined in <xref
            target="I-D.filsfils-rtgwg-segment-routing-use-cases"/>) when
            propagating Prefix-SID for the prefix to other areas.</t>
          </list></t>
      </section>

      <section title="SID for External Prefixes">
        <t>Type-5 LSAs are flooded domain wide. When an ASBR, which supports
        SR, generates Type-5 LSAs, it should also originate Extended Prefix
        Opaque LSAs, as described in <xref target="EXTPXLSA"/>. The flooding
        scope of the Extended Prefix Opaque LSA type is set to AS-scope. The
        route-type in OSPF Extended Prefix TLV is set to external. 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.</t>

        <t>When a NSSA ASBR 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 such path. If such
        advertising router has advertised a Prefix-SID for the prefix, then
        the NSSA ASBR uses it when advertising the Prefix-SID for the Type-5
        prefix. Otherwise the Prefix-SID advertised by any other router will
        be used (e.g.: a Prefix-SID coming from an SR Mapping Server as
        defined in <xref
        target="I-D.filsfils-rtgwg-segment-routing-use-cases"/>).</t>
      </section>

      <section title="Advertisement of Adj-SID">
        <t>The Adjacency Segment Routing Identifier (Adj-SID) is advertised
        using the Adj-SID Sub-TLV as described in <xref target="ADJSID"/>.</t>

        <section title="Advertisement of Adj-SID on Point-to-Point Links">
          <t>Adj-SID MAY be advertised for any adjacency on p2p link that is
          in a 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 then 2-Way, then the Adj-SID MUST be removed from the
          area.</t>
        </section>

        <section title="Adjacency SID on Broadcast or NBMA Interfaces">
          <t>Broadcast or NBMA networks in OSPF are represented by a star
          topology where the Designated Router (DR) is the central point all
          other routers on the broadcast or NBMA network connect to. As a
          result, routers on the broadcast or NBMA network advertise only
          their adjacency to DR and BDR. Routers that are neither DR nor BDR
          do not form and do not advertise adjacencies between them. They,
          however, maintain a 2-Way adjacency state between them.</t>

          <t>When Segment Routing is used, each router on the broadcast or
          NBMA network MAY advertise the Adj-SID for its adjacency to DR using
          Adj-SID Sub-TLV as described in <xref target="ADJSIDSUBTLV"/>.</t>

          <t>SR capable router MAY also advertise Adj-SID for other neighbors
          (e.g. BDR, DR-OTHER) on broadcast or NBMA network using the LAN
          ADJ-SID Sub-TLV as described in section 5.1.1.2. <xref
