1. Introduction
Segment Routing (SR) [RFC8402] allows a headend node to steer a
packet flow along any path. [RFC9256] details the concepts of SR
Policy and steering into an SR Policy. These apply equally to the
MPLS and IPv6 data plane instantiations of Segment Routing with their
respective representations of segments as SR-MPLS SID and SRv6 SID as
described in [RFC8402].
[I-D.ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy] specifies the way to use BGP
to distribute one or more of the candidate paths of an SR Policy to
the headend of that policy. It defines a new BGP address family
(SAFI), i.e., SR Policy SAFI NLRI. In UPDATE messages of that
address family, the NLRI identifies an SR Policy Candidate Path, and
the attributes encode the segment lists and other details of that SR
Policy Candidate Path. 11 Segment Types (from A to K) are defined to
encode SR-MPLS or SRv6 segments.
As specified in [I-D.ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy], the SR
algorithm can be optionally specified for Segment Types C(IPv4 Node
and SID), D(IPv6 Node and SID for SR-MPLS), I(IPv6 Node and SID for
SRv6), J(IPv6 Node, index for remote and local pair, and SID for
SRv6), and K(IPv6 Local/Remote addresses and SID for SRv6). That is,
currently the algorithm can be carried along with SR-MPLS prefix SID,
SRv6 prefix SID and SRv6 adjacency SID when delivering SR Policy via
BGP.

Internet-Draft BGP SID Algo February 2023
[I-D.ietf-lsr-algorithm-related-adjacency-sid] complements that,
besides the SR-MPLS prefix SID, the algorithm can be also included as
part of an SR-MPLS Adjacency-SID advertisement, in scenarios where
multiple algorithm share the same link resource. In this case, an
SR-MPLS Policy advertised to the headend may also contain algorithm
specific Adjacency-SID.
This document proposes extensions of BGP and defines new Segment
Types to provide algorithm information for SR-MPLS Adjacency-SIDs
when delivering SR Policy via BGP.
2. Requirements Language
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
3. New Segment Types for SR-MPLS Adjacency with optional Algorithm
This section defines four new Segment Sub-TLVs of Segment List Sub-
TLV to provide algorithm information for SR-MPLS Adjacency-SIDs.
The processing procedures for SID with algorithm specified in
[RFC9256] and [I-D.ietf-idr-segment-routing-te-policy] are still
applicable for the new segment types. When the algorithm is not
specified for the SID types above which optionally allow for it, the
headend SHOULD use the Strict Shortest Path algorithm if available;
otherwise, it SHOULD use the default Shortest Path algorithm.
3.1. Type M: IPv4 Address and Local Interface ID with optional
Algorithm
The Type M Segment Sub-TLV is similar with existed Type E Segment
Sub-TLV, it also encodes an IPv4 node address, a local interface
Identifier (Local Interface ID) and an optional SR-MPLS SID, but with
additional algorithm information. The format is as follows:
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
