Introduction When Segment Routing tunnels are computed by a centralized controller, it is crucial that the controller knows MSD "Maximum SID Depth" of the node or link SR tunnel exits over, so it doesn't download a path with SID (label stack) of depth more than the node or link configured is capable of imposing.This document describes how to use BGP-LS to expose the MSD of the node or link configured to a centralized controller. 1.1. Conventions used in this document 1.1.1. Terminology BGP-LS: Distribution of Link-State and TE Information using Border Gateway Protocol MSD: Maximum SID Depth PCC: Path Computation Client PCE: Path Computation Element PCEP: Path Computation Element Protocol SID: Segment Identifier SR: Segment routing Tantsura & Mirsky Expires January 7, 2016 [Page 2] Internet-Draft Signaling MSD Using BGP-LS July 2015 1.1.2. 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 [RFC2119]. 2. Problem Statement In existing technology only PCEP has extension to signal the MSD (SR PCE Capability TLV/ METRIC Object as defined in [I-D.ietf-pce-segment-routing],If PCEP is not supported by the node (head-end of the SR tunnel) controller has no way to learn the MSD of the node/link configured. 3. MSD supported by a node Node MSD is a number in the range of 0-254. 0 represents lack of ability to push MSD of any depth, any other value represents that of the node. Node MSD is encoded in the Opaque Node Attribute TLV, as defined in [I-D.ietf-idr-ls-distribution] 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 | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ // Opaque node attributes (variable) // +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ Figure 1: Opaque Node attribute format 4.
