IS-IS Extensions to Support Segment Routing over the IPv6 Data Plane
Abstract
The Segment Routing (SR) architecture allows a flexible definition of
the end-to-end path by encoding it as a sequence of topological
elements called "segments". It can be implemented over the MPLS or
the IPv6 data plane. This document describes the IS-IS extensions
required to support SR over the IPv6 data plane.
This document updates RFC 7370 by modifying an existing registry.

1. Introduction
With Segment Routing (SR) [RFC8402], a node steers a packet through
an ordered list of instructions, which are called segments.
Segments are identified through Segment Identifiers (SIDs).
SR can be directly instantiated on the IPv6 data plane through the
use of the Segment Routing Header (SRH) defined in [RFC8754]. SRv6
refers to this SR instantiation on the IPv6 data plane.
The network programming paradigm [RFC8986] is central to SRv6. It
describes how any behavior can be bound to a SID and how any network
program can be expressed as a combination of SIDs.
This document specifies IS-IS extensions that allow the IS-IS
protocol to encode some of these SIDs and their behaviors.
Familiarity with the network programming paradigm [RFC8986] is
necessary to understand the extensions specified in this document.
The new SRv6 Locator top-level TLV announces SRv6 Locators -- a form
of summary address for the set of topology-/algorithm-specific SIDs
instantiated at the node.
The SRv6 Capabilities sub-TLV announces the ability to support SRv6.
Several new sub-TLVs are defined to advertise various SRv6 Maximum
SID Depths (MSDs).
The SRv6 End SID sub-TLV, the SRv6 End.X SID sub-TLV, and the SRv6
LAN End.X SID sub-TLV are used to advertise which SIDs are
instantiated at a node and what Endpoint behavior is bound to each
instantiated SID.
This document updates [RFC7370] by modifying an existing registry
(Section 11.1.2).
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. SRv6 Capabilities Sub-TLV
A node indicates that it supports the SR Segment Endpoint Node
functionality as specified in [RFC8754] by advertising a new SRv6
Capabilities sub-TLV of the Router Capability TLV [RFC7981].
The SRv6 Capabilities sub-TLV may contain optional sub-sub-TLVs. No
sub-sub-TLVs are currently defined.
The SRv6 Capabilities 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 | Flags |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| optional sub-sub-TLVs...
Type: 25. Single octet, as defined in Section 9 of [ISO10589].
Length: Single octet, as defined in Section 9 of [ISO10589]. The
length value is 2 + length of sub-sub-TLVs.
Flags: 2 octets. The following flags are defined:
0 1
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| |O| Reserved |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
where:
O-flag: If set, the router supports use of the O-bit in the
SRH, as defined in [RFC9259].
The remaining bits, including bit 0, are reserved for future
use. They MUST be set to zero on transmission and MUST be
ignored on receipt.
3. Advertising Supported Algorithms
An SRv6-capable router indicates one or more supported algorithms by
advertising the Segment Routing Algorithm sub-TLV, as defined in
[RFC8667].
4. Advertising Maximum SRv6 SID Depths
[RFC8491] defines the means to advertise node-/link-specific values
for MSDs of various types. Node MSDs are advertised in a sub-TLV of
the Router Capabilities Capability TLV [RFC7981]. Link MSDs are advertised in a
sub-TLV of TLVs 22, 23, 25, 141, 222, and 223.
This document defines the relevant SRv6 MSDs and requests MSD type
assignments in the "IGP MSD-Types" registry created by [RFC8491].
4.1. Maximum Segments Left MSD Type
The Maximum Segments Left MSD Type signals the maximum value of the
"Segments Left" field [RFC8754] in the SRH of a received packet
before applying the Endpoint behavior associated with a SID.
SRH Max Segments Left Type: 41
If no value is advertised, the supported value is 0.
4.2. Maximum End Pop MSD Type
The Maximum End Pop MSD Type signals the maximum number of SIDs in
the SRH to which the router can apply "Penultimate Segment Pop (PSP)
of the SRH" or "Ultimate Segment Pop (USP) of the SRH" behavior, as
defined in "Flavors" (Section 4.16 of [RFC8986]).
SRH Max End Pop Type: 42
If the advertised value is zero or no value is advertised, then
the router cannot apply PSP or USP flavors.
4.3. Maximum H.Encaps MSD Type
The Maximum H.Encaps MSD Type signals the maximum number of SIDs that
can be added to the segment list of an SRH as part of the "H.Encaps"
behavior, as defined in [RFC8986].
SRH Max H.encaps Type: 44
If the advertised value is zero or no value is advertised, then
the headend can apply an SR Policy that only contains one segment
without inserting any SRH header.
A non-zero SRH Max H.encaps MSD indicates that the headend can
insert an SRH up to the advertised number of SIDs.
4.4. Maximum End D MSD Type
The Maximum End D MSD Type specifies the maximum number of SIDs
present in an SRH when performing decapsulation. As specified in
[RFC8986], the permitted SID types include, but are not limited to,
End.DX6, End.DT4, End.DT46, End with USD, and End.X with USD.
SRH Max End D Type: 45
If the advertised value is zero or no value is advertised, then
the router cannot apply any behavior that results in decapsulation
and forwarding of the inner packet if the outer IPv6 header
contains an SRH.
5. SRv6 SIDs and Reachability
As discussed in [RFC8986], an SRv6 Segment Identifier (SID) is 128
bits and consists of locator, function, and argument parts.
A node is provisioned with topology-/algorithm-specific locators for
each of the topology/algorithm pairs supported by that node. Each
locator is a covering prefix for all SIDs provisioned on that node
that have the matching topology/algorithm.
Locators MUST be advertised in the SRv6 Locator TLV (see
Section 7.1). Forwarding entries for the locators advertised in the
SRv6 Locator TLV MUST be installed in the forwarding plane of
receiving SRv6-capable routers when the associated topology/algorithm
is supported by the receiving node. The processing of the prefix
advertised in the SRv6 Locator TLV, the calculation of its
reachability, and the installation in the forwarding plane follows
the process defined for the Prefix Reachability TLV 236 [RFC5308] or
TLV 237 [RFC5120].
Locators associated with algorithms 0 and 1 (for all supported
topologies) SHOULD also be advertised in a Prefix Reachability TLV
(236 or 237) so that legacy routers (i.e., routers that do not
support SRv6) will install a forwarding entry for algorithms 0 and 1
SRv6 traffic.
In cases where the same prefix with the same prefix length, Multi-
Topology Identifier (MTID), and algorithm is received in both a
Prefix Reachability TLV and an SRv6 Locator TLV, the Prefix
Reachability advertisement MUST be preferred when installing entries
in the forwarding plane. This is to prevent inconsistent forwarding
entries between SRv6-capable and SRv6-incapable routers. Such
preference of Prefix Reachability advertisement does not have any
impact on the rest of the data advertised in the SRv6 Locator TLV.
Locators associated with Flexible Algorithms (see Section 4 of
[RFC9350]) SHOULD NOT be advertised in Prefix Reachability TLVs (236
or 237). Advertising the Flexible Algorithm locator in a regular
Prefix Reachability TLV (236 or 237) would make the forwarding for it
follow the algorithm 0 path.
SRv6 SIDs are advertised as sub-TLVs in the SRv6 Locator TLV, except
for SRv6 SIDs that are associated with a specific neighbor/link and
are therefore advertised as sub-TLVs in TLVs 22, 23, 25, 141, 222,
and 223.
SRv6 SIDs received from other nodes are not directly routable and
MUST NOT be installed in the forwarding plane. Reachability to SRv6
SIDs depends upon the existence of a covering locator.
Adherence to the rules defined in this section will ensure that SRv6
SIDs associated with a supported topology/algorithm pair will be
forwarded correctly, while SRv6 SIDs associated with an unsupported
topology/algorithm pair will be dropped. NOTE: The drop behavior
depends on the absence of a default/summary route covering a given
locator.
In order for forwarding to work correctly, the locator associated
with SRv6 SID advertisements must be the longest match prefix
installed in the forwarding plane for those SIDs. In order to ensure
correct forwarding, network operators should take steps to make sure
that this requirement is not compromised. For example, the following
situations should be avoided:
* Another locator associated with a different topology/algorithm is
the longest match.
* Another prefix advertisement (i.e., from TLV 236 or 237) is the
longest match.
6. Advertising Anycast Property
Both prefixes and SRv6 Locators may be configured as anycast; as
such, the same value can be advertised by multiple routers. It is
useful for other routers to know that the advertisement is for an
anycast identifier.
A new flag in the Prefix Attribute Flags sub-TLV [RFC7794] is defined
to advertise the anycast property:
Bit #: 4
Name: Anycast Flag (A-flag)
When the prefix/SRv6 Locator is configured as anycast, the A-flag
SHOULD be set. Otherwise, this flag MUST be clear.
The A-flag MUST be preserved when the advertisement is leaked between
levels.
The A-flag and the N-flag MUST NOT both be set. If both the N-flag
and the A-flag are set in the prefix/SRv6 Locator advertisement, the
receiving routers MUST ignore the N-flag.
The same prefix/SRv6 Locator can be advertised by multiple routers.
If at least one of them sets the A-flag in its advertisement, the
prefix/SRv6 Locator SHOULD be considered as anycast.
A prefix/SRv6 Locator that is advertised by a single node and without
an A-flag is MUST be considered node specific.
All the nodes advertising the same anycast locator MUST instantiate
the exact same set of SIDs under that anycast locator. Failure to do
so may result in traffic being black-holed dropped or misrouted.
The Prefix Attribute Flags sub-TLV can be carried in the SRv6 Locator
TLV as well as the Prefix Reachability TLVs. When a router
originates both the Prefix Reachability TLV and the SRv6 Locator TLV
for a given prefix and the router is originating the Prefix Attribute
Flags sub-TLV in one of the TLVs, the router prefix, it SHOULD advertise the
same flags in the Prefix Attribute Flags sub-TLV
sub-TLV, if used, in both TLVs. TLVs and use the same flags. However,
unlike TLVs 236 [RFC5308] and 237 [RFC5120], the X-flag in the Prefix
Attributes Flags sub-TLV is valid when sent in the SRv6 Locator TLV.
When included in the Locator TLV, the state of the X-flag in the
Prefix Attributes Flags sub-TLV MUST match the setting of the
embedded "X-bit" in any advertisement for the same prefix in TLVs 236
[RFC5308] and 237 [RFC5120]. In case of any inconsistency between
the Prefix Attribute Flags advertised in the Locator TLV and in the
Prefix Reachability TLV, the ones advertised in the Prefix
Reachability TLV MUST be preferred.
7. Advertising Locators and End SIDs
The SRv6 Locator TLV is introduced to advertise SRv6 Locators and End
SIDs associated with each locator.
This new TLV shares the sub-TLV space defined for TLVs 135, 235, 236,
and 237.
7.1. SRv6 Locator TLV Format
The SRv6 Locator 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 |R|R|R|R| MTID |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Locator Entries . . . |
Type: 27. Single octet, as defined in Section 9 of [ISO10589].
Length: Single octet, as defined in Section 9 of [ISO10589]. The
length value is variable.
R Bits: Reserved for future use. They MUST be set to zero on
transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt.
MTID: Multi-Topology Identifier, as defined in [RFC5120]. Note that
the value 0 is legal.
The SRv6 Locator TLV is followed by one or more locator entries of
the form:
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

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Metric: 4 octets, as described in Section 4 of [RFC5305].
Flags: 1 octet. The following flags are defined:
0
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|D| Reserved |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
D-flag: Same "up/down bit" as described in Section 4.1 of [RFC5305].
The remaining bits are reserved for future use. They MUST be
set to zero on transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt.
Algorithm: 1 octet, as defined in the "IGP Algorithm Types" registry
[RFC8665].
Loc-Size: 1 octet. Number of bits in the SRv6 Locator field, which
MUST be from the range (1-128). The entire TLV MUST be ignored if
the Loc-Size is outside this range.
Locator: 1-16 octets. This field encodes the advertised SRv6
Locator. The SRv6 Locator is encoded in the minimal number of
octets for the given number of bits. Trailing bits MUST be set to
zero and ignored when received.
Sub-TLV-length: 1 octet. Number of octets used by sub-TLVs.
Optional Sub-TLVs: Supported sub-TLVs are specified in
Section 11.1.2. Any sub-TLV that is not allowed in the SRv6
Locator TLV MUST be ignored.
The Prefix Attribute Flags sub-TLV [RFC7794] SHOULD be included in
the Locator TLV.
The Prefix Attribute Flags sub-TLV MUST be included in the Locator
TLV when it is leaked upwards in the hierarchy or originated as a
result of the redistribution from another protocol or another IS-IS
instance. If the Prefix Attribute Flags sub-TLV is not included in
these cases, receivers will be unable to determine the correct source
of the advertisement. The receivers will be unable to detect the
violation.
7.2. SRv6 End SID Sub-TLV
The SRv6 End SID sub-TLV is introduced to advertise SRv6 SIDs with
Endpoint behaviors that do not require a particular neighbor in order
to be correctly applied. SRv6 SIDs associated with a neighbor are
advertised using the sub-TLVs defined in Section 8.
Supported behavior values, together with parent TLVs in which they
are advertised, are specified in Section 10 of this document. Please
note that not all behaviors defined in [RFC8986] are defined in this
document, e.g., End.T is not.
This new sub-TLV is advertised in the SRv6 Locator TLV defined in the
previous section. SRv6 End SIDs inherit the topology/algorithm from
the parent locator.
The SRv6 End SID 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: 5. Single octet, as defined in Section 9 of [ISO10589].
Length: Single octet, as defined in Section 9 of [ISO10589]. The
length value is variable.
Flags: 1 octet. No flags are currently defined. All bits are
reserved for future use. They MUST be set to zero on transmission
and MUST be ignored on receipt.
Endpoint Behavior: 2 octets, as defined in [RFC8986]. Supported
behavior values for this sub-TLV are defined in Section 10 of this
document. Unsupported or unrecognized behavior values are ignored
by the receiver.
SID: 16 octets. This field encodes the advertised SRv6 SID.
Sub-sub-TLV-length: 1 octet. Number of octets used by sub-sub-TLVs.
Optional Sub-sub-TLVs: Supported Sub-sub-TLVs sub-sub-TLVs are specified in
Section 11.6. Any Sub-sub-TLV sub-sub-TLV that is not allowed in the SRv6 End
SID sub-TLV MUST be ignored.
The SRv6 End SID MUST be allocated from its associated locator. SRv6
End SIDs that are not allocated from the associated locator MUST be
ignored.
Multiple SRv6 End SIDs MAY be associated with the same locator. In
cases where the number of SRv6 End SID sub-TLVs exceeds the capacity
of a single TLV, multiple Locator TLVs for the same locator MAY be
advertised. For a given MTID/Locator, the algorithm MUST be the same
in all TLVs. If this restriction is not met, all TLVs for that MTID/
Locator MUST be ignored.
8. Advertising SRv6 Adjacency SIDs
Certain SRv6 Endpoint behaviors [RFC8986] are associated with a
particular adjacency.
This document defines two new sub-TLVs of TLVs 22, 23, 25, 141, 222,
and 223 -- namely "SRv6 End.X SID sub-TLVs" and "SRv6 LAN End.X SID
sub-TLVs".
IS-IS neighbor advertisements are topology specific but not algorithm
specific. SIDs advertised in SRv6 End.X SID and SRv6 LAN End.X SID
sub-TLVs therefore inherit the topology from the associated neighbor
advertisement, but the algorithm is specified in the individual SID.
All SIDs advertised in SRv6 End.X SID and SRv6 LAN End.X SID sub-TLVs
MUST be a subnet of a Locator with matching topology and algorithm
that are advertised by the same node in an SRv6 Locator TLV. SIDs
that do not meet this requirement MUST be ignored. This ensures that
the node advertising these SIDs is also advertising its corresponding
Locator with the algorithm that will be used for computing paths
destined to the SID.
8.1. SRv6 End.X SID Sub-TLV
This sub-TLV is used to advertise an SRv6 SID associated with a
point-to-point adjacency. Multiple SRv6 End.X SID sub-TLVs MAY be
associated with the same adjacency.
The SRv6 End.X SID 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

where:
B-Flag: Backup flag. If set, the SID is eligible for
protection, e.g., using IP Fast Reroute (IPFRR) [RFC5286],
as described in [RFC8355].
S-Flag: Set flag. When set, the S-flag indicates that the SID
refers to a set of adjacencies (and therefore MAY be
assigned to other adjacencies as well).
P-Flag: Persistent flag. When set, the P-flag indicates that
the SID is persistently allocated, i.e., the SID value
remains consistent across router restart and/or interface
flap.
Reserved bits: Reserved bits MUST be zero when originated and
MUST be ignored when received.
Algorithm: 1 octet, as defined in the "IGP Algorithm Types" registry
[RFC8665].
Weight: 1 octet. The value represents the weight of the SID for the
purpose of load balancing. The use of the weight is defined in
[RFC8402].
Endpoint Behavior: 2 octets, as defined in [RFC8986]. Supported
behavior values for this sub-TLV are defined in Section 10 of this
document. Unsupported or unrecognized behavior values are ignored
by the receiver.
SID: 16 octets. This field encodes the advertised SRv6 SID.
Sub-sub-TLV-length: 1 octet. Number of octets used by sub-sub-
TLVs.
Optional Sub-sub-TLVs: Supported Sub-sub-TLVs sub-sub-TLVs are specified in
Section 11.6. Any Sub-sub-TLV sub-sub-TLV that is not allowed in SRv6 End.X
SID sub-TLV MUST be ignored.
Note that multiple TLVs for the same neighbor may be required in
order to advertise all the SRv6 SIDs associated with that neighbor.
8.2. SRv6 LAN End.X SID Sub-TLV
This sub-TLV is used to advertise an SRv6 SID associated with a LAN
adjacency. Since the parent TLV is advertising an adjacency to the
Designated Intermediate System (DIS) for the LAN, it is necessary to
include the System-ID of the physical neighbor on the LAN with which
the SRv6 SID is associated. Given that many neighbors may exist on a
given LAN, multiple SRv6 LAN END.X SID sub-TLVs may be associated
with the same LAN. Note that multiple TLVs for the same DIS neighbor
may be required in order to advertise all the SRv6 SIDs associated
with that neighbor.
The SRv6 LAN End.X SID 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

The B-, S-, and P-flags are as described in Section 8.1. Reserved
bits MUST be zero when originated and MUST be ignored when
received.
Algorithm: 1 octet, as defined in the "IGP Algorithm Types" registry
[RFC8665].
Weight: 1 octet. The value represents the weight of the SID for the
purpose of load balancing. The use of the weight is defined in
[RFC8402].
Endpoint Behavior: 2 octets, as defined in [RFC8986]. Supported
behavior values for this sub-TLV are defined in Section 10 of this
document. Unsupported or unrecognized behavior values are ignored
by the receiver.
SID: 16 octets. This field encodes the advertised SRv6 SID.
Sub-sub-TLV-length: 1 octet. Number of octets used by sub-sub-
TLVs.
Optional Sub-sub-TLVs: Supported Sub-sub-TLVs sub-sub-TLVs are specified in
Section 11.6. Any Sub-sub-TLV sub-sub-TLV that is not allowed in SRv6 LAN
End.X SID sub-TLV MUST be ignored.
Note that multiple TLVs for the same neighbor, on the same LAN, may
be required in order to advertise all the SRv6 SIDs associated with
that neighbor.
9. SRv6 SID Structure Sub-Sub-TLV
The SRv6 SID Structure Sub-Sub-TLV sub-sub-TLV is an optional Sub-Sub-TLV sub-sub-TLV of:
* SRv6 End SID Sub-TLV sub-TLV (Section 7.2)
* SRv6 End.X SID Sub-TLV sub-TLV (Section 8.1)
* SRv6 LAN End.X SID Sub-TLV sub-TLV (Section 8.2)
The SRv6 SID Structure Sub-Sub-TLV sub-sub-TLV is used to advertise the structure
of the SRv6 SID, as defined in [RFC8986]. It 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 |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| LB Length | LN Length | Fun. Length | Arg. Length |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
where:
Type: 1. Single octet, as defined in Section 9 of [ISO10589].
Length: Single octet, as defined in Section 9 of [ISO10589]. The
length value is 4 octets.
LB Length: 1 octet. SRv6 SID Locator Block length in bits.
LN Length: 1 octet. SRv6 SID Locator Node length in bits.
Fun. Length: 1 octet. SRv6 SID Function length in bits.
Arg. Length: 1 octet. SRv6 SID Arguments length in bits.
The IS-IS SRv6 SID Structure Sub-Sub-TLV sub-sub-TLV MUST NOT appear more than
once in its parent Sub-TLV. sub-TLV. If it appears more than once in its
parent Sub-TLV, sub-TLV, the parent Sub-TLV sub-TLV MUST be ignored by the receiver.
The sum of all four sizes advertised in the IS-IS SRv6 SID Structure
Sub-Sub-TLV
sub-sub-TLV MUST be less than or equal to 128 bits. If the sum of
all four sizes advertised in the IS-IS SRv6 SID Structure Sub-Sub-TLV sub-sub-TLV
is larger than 128 bits, the parent Sub-TLV sub-TLV MUST be ignored by the
receiver.
The SRv6 SID Structure Sub-Sub-TLV sub-sub-TLV is intended for informational use
by the control and management planes. It MUST NOT be used at a
transit node (as defined in [RFC8754]) for forwarding packets. As an
example, this information could be used for the following:
* validation of SRv6 SIDs being instantiated in the network and
advertised via IS-IS. These can be learned by controllers via
Border Gateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS) and then be
monitored for conformance to the SRv6 SID allocation scheme chosen
by the operator, as described in Section 3.2 of [RFC8986].
* verification and automation for securing the SRv6 domain by
provisioning filtering rules at SR domain boundaries, as described
in Section 5 of [RFC8754].
The details of these potential applications are outside the scope of
this document.
10. Advertising Endpoint Behaviors
Endpoint behaviors are defined in [RFC8986]. The codepoints for the
Endpoint behaviors are defined in the "SRv6 Endpoint Behaviors"
registry defined in [RFC8986]. If a behavior is advertised, it MUST
only be advertised in the TLV(s) marked with "Y" in the table below
and MUST NOT be advertised in the TLV(s) marked with "N" in the table
below.
+===================+===================+=====+=======+===========+

12. Security Considerations
Security concerns for IS-IS are addressed in [ISO10589], [RFC5304],
and [RFC5310]. While IS-IS is deployed under a single administrative
domain, there can be deployments where potential attackers have
access to one or more networks in the IS-IS routing domain. In these
deployments, the stronger authentication mechanisms defined in the
aforementioned documents SHOULD be used.
This document describes the IS-IS extensions required to support SR
over an IPv6 data plane. The security considerations for SR are
discussed in [RFC8402]. [RFC8986] defines the SRv6 Network
Programming concept and specifies the main SR behaviors to enable the
creation of interoperable overlays; the security considerations from
that document apply too.
The advertisement for an incorrect MSD value may have negative
consequences; see [RFC8491] for additional considerations.
Security concerns associated with the setting of the O-flag are
described in [RFC9259].
Security concerns associated with the usage of Flexible Algorithms
are described in [RFC9350]).
