1. Introduction
An IGP Flexible Algorithm (Flex-Algorithm) allows IGPs to compute constraint-based
paths. The base IGP Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm specification describes how
it is used with Segment Routing (SR) data planes - planes: SR MPLS and SRv6.
An IGP Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm as specified in [RFC9350] computes a
constraint-based path to:
* All Flex-Algorithm specific Flexible-Algorithm-specific Prefix Segment Identifiers (SIDs)
[RFC8402].
* All Flex-Algorithm specific Flexible-Algorithm-specific SRv6 Locators [RFC8986].
Therefore, Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm cannot be deployed in the absence of SR
or SRv6.
This document extends Flex-Algorithm, Flexible Algorithm, allowing it to compute
paths to IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes.
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
BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
capitals, as shown here.
3. Use Case Example
In this subsection, section, we illustrate one use case that motivates this
specification: if a specific service can be identified by an IP
address, traffic to it can use constraint-based paths computed
according to this specification.
The System Architecture architecture for the 5G System [TS.23.501-3GPP] describes
the N3 interface between gNodeB and UPF (User Plane Function).
Mobile networks are becoming more and more IP centric. IP-centric. Each end-user
session from a gNodeB can be destined to a specific UPFs (User Plane
Function) UPF based on the
session requirements. For example, some sessions require high
bandwidth, while others need to be routed along the lowest latency
path. Each UPF is assigned a unique IP address. As a result,
traffic for different sessions is destined to a different destination
IP address.
The IP address allocated to the UPF can be associated with an
algorithm. The mobile user traffic is then forwarded along the path
based on the algorithm-specific metric and constraints. As a result,
traffic can be sent over a path that is optimized for minimal latency
or highest bandwidth. This mechanism is used to achieve SLA (Service Service
Level Agreement) Agreement (SLA) appropriate for a user session.
4. Advertising Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm Definitions (FAD) (FADs)
To guarantee loop-free forwarding, all routers that participate in a
Flex-Algorithm MUST agree on the Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm Definition (FAD).
Selected nodes within the IGP domain MUST advertise FADs as described
in Sections 5, 6, and 7 of [RFC9350].
5. Advertising IP Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm Participation
A node may use various algorithms when calculating paths to nodes and
prefixes. Algorithm values are defined in the IGP "IGP Algorithm Type
Registry Types"
registry [IANA-ALG].
Only a node that is participating in a Flex-Algorithm is:
* Able to compute a path for such Flex-Algorithm
* Part of the topology for such Flex-Algorithm
Flex-Algorithm
Flexible Algorithm participation MUST be advertised for each Flex- Flexible
Algorithm data-plane data plane independently, as specified in [RFC9350]. Using
Flex-Algorithm
Flexible Algorithm for regular IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes represents an
independent Flex-Algorithm data-plane, and Flexible Algorithm data plane; as such, the Flex- Flexible
Algorithm participation for the IP Flex-Algorithm data-plane Flexible Algorithm data plane MUST
be
signalled signaled independently of any other Flex-Algorithm data-plane Flexible Algorithm data plane
(e.g., SR).
All routers in an IGP domain participate in default algorithm 0.
Advertisement of participation in IP Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm does not
impact the router participation in default algorithm 0.
Advertisement of participation in IP Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm does not
impact the router participation signaled for other data-planes. data planes. For
example, it is possible that a router participates in a particular
flex-algo
Flex-Algorithm for the IP data-plane data plane but does not participate in the
same
flex-algo Flex-Algorithm for the SR data-plane. data plane.
The following sections describe how the IP Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm
participation is advertised in IGP protocols.
5.1. The IS-IS IP Algorithm Sub-TLV
The IS-IS [ISO10589] IP Algorithm Sub-TLV is a sub-TLV of the IS-IS
Router Capability TLV [RFC7981] 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 |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
| Algorithm 1 | Algorithm 2 | Algorithm ... | Algorithm n |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
Figure 1: IS-IS IP Algorithm Sub-TLV
*
Type (1 octet): IP Algorithm Sub-TLV (Value 29)
*
Length (1 octet): Variable
*
Algorithm (1 octet): Value from 128 to 255. 255
The IP Algorithm Sub-TLV MUST be propagated throughout the level and
MUST NOT be advertised across level boundaries. Therefore, the S bit
in the Router Capability TLV, in which the IP Algorithm Sub-TLV is
advertised, MUST NOT be set.
The IP Algorithm Sub-TLV is optional. It MUST NOT be advertised more
than once at a given level. A router receiving multiple IP Algorithm
sub-TLVs from the same originator MUST select the first advertisement
in the lowest-numbered LSP Link State PDU (LSP), and subsequent instances
of the IP Algorithm Sub-TLV MUST be ignored.
Algorithms outside the Flex-Algorithm range (128-255) MUST be ignored
by the receiver. This situation SHOULD be logged as an error.
The IP Flex-Algorithm participation advertised in the IS-IS IP
Algorithm Sub-TLV is topology independent. When a router advertises
participation in the IS-IS IP Algorithm Sub-TLV, the participation
applies to all topologies in which the advertising node participates.
5.2. The OSPF IP Algorithm TLV
The OSPF [RFC2328] IP Algorithm TLV is a top-level TLV of the Router
Information Opaque LSA Link State Advertisement (LSA) [RFC7770] 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

Figure 2: OSPF IP Algorithm TLV
*
Type (2 octets): IP Algorithm TLV (Value TBD1 by IANA)
* (21)
Length( 2 octets): Variable
*
Algorithm (1 octet): Value from 128 to 255. 255
The IP Algorithm TLV is optional. It MUST only be advertised once in
the Router Information LSA.
Algorithms outside the Flex-Algorithm range (128-255) MUST be ignored
by the receiver. This situation SHOULD be logged as an error.
When multiple IP Algorithm TLVs are received from a given router, the
receiver MUST use the first occurrence of the TLV in the Router
Information LSA. If the IP Algorithm TLV appears in multiple Router
Information LSAs that have different flooding scopes, the IP
Algorithm TLV in the Router Information LSA with the area-scoped
flooding scope MUST be used. If the IP Algorithm TLV appears in
multiple Router Information LSAs that have the same flooding scope,
the IP Algorithm TLV in the Router Information LSA with the
numerically smallest Instance ID (Opaque ID for OSPFv2 or Link State
ID for OSPFv3) MUST be used used, and subsequent instances of the IP
Algorithm TLV MUST be ignored.
The Router Information LSA can be advertised at any of the defined
flooding scopes (link, area, or Autonomous System (AS)). For the
purpose of IP Algorithm TLV advertisement, area area- or Autonomous System
scoped AS-scoped
flooding is REQUIRED. The AS flooding scope SHOULD NOT be used
unless local configuration policy on the originating router indicates
domain-wide flooding.
The IP Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm participation advertised in the OSPF IP
Algorithm TLV is topology independent. When a router advertises
participation in OSPF IP Algorithm TLV, the participation applies to
all topologies in which the advertising node participates.
6. Advertising IP Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm Reachability
To be able to associate the prefix with the Flex-Algorithm, the
existing prefix reachability advertisements cannot be used, because
they advertise the prefix reachability in default algorithm 0.
Instead, new IP Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm reachability advertisements are
defined in IS-IS and OSPF.
The M-flag in the FAD is not applicable to IP Algorithm Prefixes.
Any IP Algorithm Prefix advertisement includes the Algorithm and
Metric fields. When an IP Algorithm Prefix is advertised between
areas or domains, the metric field in the IP Algorithm Prefix
advertisement MUST be used irrespective of the M-flag in the FAD
advertisement.
6.1. The IS-IS IPv4 Algorithm Prefix Reachability TLV
The IPv4 Algorithm Prefix Reachability top-level TLV is defined for
advertising IPv4 Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm Prefix Reachability in IS-IS.
This new TLV shares the sub-TLV space defined for TLVs Advertising
Prefix Reachability.
The IS-IS IPv4 Algorithm Prefix Reachability 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

D-flag: The D-flag is described as the "up/down bit" in
Section 4.1 of [RFC5305]. When the Prefix is leaked from level-2 level

be clear. Prefixes with the D bit set MUST NOT be leaked from level-1
level 1 to
level-2. level 2. This is to prevent looping.

If the Algorithms in the IS-IS IPv4 Algorithm Prefix Reachability TLV
is
are outside the Flex-Algorithm range (128-255), the IS-IS IPv4
Algorithm Prefix Reachability TLV MUST be ignored by the receiver.
This situation SHOULD be logged as an error.
If a router receives multiple IPv4 Algorithm Prefix Reachability
advertisements for the same prefix from the same originator, it MUST
select the first advertisement in the lowest-numbered LSP and ignore
any subsequent IPv4 Algorithm Prefix Reachability advertisements for
the same prefix.
If a router receives multiple IPv4 Algorithm Prefix Reachability
advertisements for the same prefix, from different originators, where
all of them do not advertise the same algorithm, it MUST ignore all
of them and MUST NOT install any forwarding entries based on these
advertisements. This situation SHOULD be logged as an error.
In cases where a prefix advertisement is received in both a an IPv4
Prefix Reachability TLV ([RFC5305], [RFC5120]) [RFC5305] [RFC5120] and an IPv4 Algorithm
Prefix Reachability TLV, the IPv4 Prefix Reachability advertisement
MUST be preferred when installing entries in the forwarding plane.
6.2. The IS-IS IPv6 Algorithm Prefix Reachability TLV
The IS-IS IPv6 Algorithm Prefix Reachability TLV is identical to the
IS-IS IPv4 Algorithm Prefix Reachability TLV, except that it has a
distinct type. The type is 127.
If the Algorithms in the IS-IS IPv6 Algorithm Prefix Reachability TLV
is
are outside the Flex-Algorithm range (128-255), the IS-IS IPv6
Algorithm Prefix Reachability TLV MUST be ignored by the receiver.
This situation SHOULD be logged as an error.
If a router receives multiple IPv6 Algorithm Prefix Reachability
advertisements for the same prefix from the same originator, it MUST
select the first advertisement in the lowest-numbered LSP and ignore
any subsequent IPv6 Algorithm Prefix Reachability advertisements for
the same prefix.
If a router receives multiple IPv6 Algorithm Prefix Reachability
advertisements for the same prefix, from different originators, where
all of them do not advertise the same algorithm, it MUST ignore all
of them and MUST NOT install any forwarding entries based on these
advertisements. This situation SHOULD be logged as an error.
In cases where a prefix advertisement is received in both an IPv6
Prefix Reachability TLV ([RFC5308], [RFC5120]) [RFC5308] [RFC5120] and an IPv6 Algorithm
Prefix Reachability TLV, the IPv6 Prefix Reachability advertisement
MUST be preferred when installing entries in the forwarding plane.
In cases where a prefix advertisement is received in both an IS-IS
SRv6 Locator TLV [RFC9352] and in IS-IS IPv6 Algorithm Prefix
Reachability TLV, the receiver MUST ignore both of them and MUST NOT
install any forwarding entries based on these advertisements. This
situation SHOULD be logged as an error.
6.3. The OSPFv2 IP Algorithm Prefix Reachability Sub-TLV
A new Sub-TLV sub-TLV of the OSPFv2 Extended Prefix TLV is defined for
advertising IP Algorithm Prefix Reachability in OSPFv2, the OSPFv2 IP
Algorithm Prefix Reachability Sub-TLV.
The OSPFv2 IP Algorithm Prefix Reachability 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

If the Algorithms in the OSPFv2 IP Algorithm Prefix Reachability Sub-
TLV is are outside the Flex-Algorithm range (128-255), the OSPFv2 IP
Algorithm Prefix Reachability Sub-TLV MUST be ignored by the
receiver. This situation SHOULD be logged as an error.
An OSPFv2 router receiving multiple OSPFv2 IP Algorithm Prefix
Reachability Sub-TLVs in the same OSPFv2 Extended Prefix TLV, TLV MUST
select the first advertisement of this Sub-TLV sub-TLV and MUST ignore all
remaining occurences occurrences of this Sub-TLV sub-TLV in the OSPFv2 Extended Prefix
TLV.
An OSPFv2 router receiving multiple OSPFv2 IP Algorithm Prefix
Reachability TLVs for the same prefix, prefix from different originators, originators
where all of them do not advertise the same algorithm, algorithm MUST ignore all
of them and MUST NOT install any forwarding entries based on these
advertisements. This situation SHOULD be logged as an error.
In cases where a prefix advertisement is received in any of the LSAs
advertising the prefix reachability for algorithm 0 and in an OSPFv2
IP Algorithm Prefix Reachability Sub-TLV, only the prefix
reachability advertisement for algorithm 0 MUST be used used, and all
occurences
occurrences of the OSPFv2 IP Algorithm Prefix Reachability Sub-TLV
MUST be ignored.
When computing the IP Algorithm Prefix reachability in OSPFv2, only
information present in the OSPFv2 Extended Prefix TLV MUST be used.
There will not be any information advertised for the IP Algorithm
Prefix in any of the OSPFv2 LSAs that advertise prefix reachability
for algorithm 0. For the IP Algorithm Prefix Prefix, the OSPFv2 Extended
Prefix TLV is used to advertise the prefix reachability, unlike for
algorithm 0 prefixes, where the OSPFv2 Extended Prefix TLV is only
used to advertise additional attributes, attributes -- but not the reachability
itself.
6.3.1. The OSPFv2 IP Forwarding Address Sub-TLV
A new Sub-TLV sub-TLV of the OSPFv2 Extended Prefix TLV is defined for
advertising IP Forwarding Address, the OSPFv2 IP Forwarding Address
Sub-TLV.
The OSPFv2 IP Forwarding Address Sub-TLV has the following format:

The OSPFv2 IP Forwarding Address Sub-TLV MUST NOT be used for
computing algorithm 0 prefix reachability and MUST be ignored for
algorithm 0 prefixes.
The OSPFv2 IP Forwarding Address Sub-TLV is optional. If it is not
present, the forwarding address for computing the IP Algorithm Prefix
reachability is assumed to be equal to 0.0.0.0.
The OSPFv2 IP Forwarding Address Sub-TLV is only applicable to
Autonomous System (AS) AS
External and Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA) External route types. If the
OSPFv2 IP Forwarding Address Sub-TLV is advertised in the OSPFv2
Extended Prefix TLV that has the Route Type field set to any other
type, the OSPFv2 IP Forwarding Address Sub-TLV MUST be ignored.
6.4. The OSPFv3 IP Algorithm Prefix Reachability Sub-TLV
The OSPFv3 [RFC5340] IP Algorithm Prefix Reachability Sub-TLV is
defined for advertisement of the IP Algorithm Prefix Reachability in
OSPFv3.
The OSPFv3 IP Algorithm Prefix Reachability Sub-TLV is a sub-TLV of
the following OSPFv3 TLVs defined in [RFC8362]:
* Intra-Area-Prefix TLV
* Inter-Area-Prefix TLV
* External-Prefix TLV
The format of OSPFv3 IP Algorithm Prefix Reachability Sub-TLV is
shown below:

If the Algorithms in the OSPFv3 IP Algorithm Prefix Reachability Sub-
TLV is are outside the Flex-Algorithm range (128-255), the OSPFv3 IP
Algorithm Prefix Reachability Sub-TLV MUST be ignored by the
receiver. This situation SHOULD be logged as an error.
When the OSPFv3 IP Algorithm Prefix Reachability Sub-TLV is present,
the NU-bit in the PrefixOptions field of the parent TLV MUST be set.
This is needed to prevent the OSPFv3 IP Algorithm Prefix Reachability
advertisement from contributing to the base algorithm reachability.
If the NU-bit in the PrefixOptions field of the parent TLV is not
set, the OSPFv3 IP Algorithm Prefix Sub-TLV MUST be ignored by the
receiver.
The metric value in the parent TLV is RECOMMENDED to be set to
LSInfinity [RFC2328]. This recommendation is provided as a network
troubleshooting convenience; if it is not followed followed, the protocol will
still function correctly.
An OSPFv3 router receiving multiple OSPFv3 IP Algorithm Prefix
Reachability Sub-TLVs in the same parent TLV, TLV MUST select the first
advertisement of this Sub-TLV sub-TLV and MUST ignore all remaining
occurences
occurrences of this Sub-TLV sub-TLV in the parent TLV.
An OSPFv3 router receiving multiple OSPFv3 IP Algorithm Prefix
Reachability TLVs for the same prefix, prefix from different originators, originators
where all of them do not advertise the same algorithm, algorithm MUST ignore all
of them and MUST NOT install any forwarding entries based on these
advertisements. This situation SHOULD be logged as an error.
In cases where a prefix advertisement is received in any of the LSAs
advertising the prefix reachability for algorithm 0 and in an OSPFv3
OSPFv3 IP Algorithm Prefix Reachability Sub-TLV, only the prefix
reachability advertisement for algorithm 0 MUST be used used, and all
occurences
occurrences of the OSPFv3 IP Algorithm Prefix Reachability Sub-TLV
MUST be ignored.
In cases where a prefix advertisement is received in both an OSPFv3
SRv6 Locator TLV and in an OSPFv3 IP Algorithm Prefix Reachability
Sub-TLV, the receiver MUST ignore both of them and MUST NOT install
any forwarding entries based on these advertisements. This situation
SHOULD be logged as an error.
6.5. The OSPF IP Flexible Algorithm ASBR Metric Sub-TLV
[RFC9350] defines the OSPF Flexible Algorithm ASBR Metric Sub-TLV (FAAM) Sub-
TLV that is used by an OSPFv2 or an OSPFv3 ABR Area Border Router (ABR)
to advertise a
Flex-Algorithm specific Flex-Algorithm-specific metric associated with the
corresponding ASBR LSA.
As described in [RFC9350] [RFC9350], each data-plane data plane signals its participation
independently. IP Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm participation is signaled
independent of Segment Routing (SR) Flex-Algorithm SR Flexible Algorithm participation. As a result, the
calculated topologies for SR and IP Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm could be
different. Such a difference prevents the usage of FAAM for the
purpose of the IP Flex-Algorithm. Flexible Algorithm.
The OSPF IP Flexible Algorithm ASBR Metric (IPFAAM) Sub-TLV is
defined for the advertisement of the IP Flex-Algorithm specific Flex-Algorithm-specific
metric associated with an ASBR by the ABR.
The IPFAAM Sub-TLV is a Sub-TLV sub-TLV of the:
-
* OSPFv2 Extended Inter-Area ASBR TLV TLV, as defined in [RFC9350]
-
* OSPFv3 Inter-Area-Router TLV TLV, as defined in [RFC8362]
The OSPF IPFAAM 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

If the Algorithms in the OSPF IP Flexible Algorithm ASBR Metric Sub-
TLV is are outside the Flex-Algorithm range (128-255), the OSPF IP
Flexible Algorithm ASBR Metric Sub-TLV MUST be ignored by the
receiver. This situation SHOULD be logged as an error.
The usage of the IPFAAM Sub-TLV is similar to the usage of the FAAM
Sub-TLV defined in [RFC9350], but it is used to advertise IP Flex- Flexible
Algorithm metric.
An OSPF ABR MUST include the OSPF IPFAAM Sub-TLVs as part of the any IP
Flexible Algorithm ASBR reachability advertisement between areas for every IP Flex-Algorithm
in which it participates and the ASBR is reachable in. areas.
The FAAM Sub-TLV as defined in [RFC9350] MUST NOT be used during IP
Flex-Algorithm
Flexible Algorithm path calculation, calculation; the IPFAAM Sub-TLV MUST be used
instead.
7. Calculating of IP Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm Paths
The IP Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm is considered as yet another data-plane data plane of
the
Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm as described in [RFC9350].
Participation in the IP Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm is signalled signaled as described
in Section 5 and is specific to the IP Flex-Algorithm data-plane. Flexible Algorithm data plane.
Calculation of IP Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm paths follows what is described
in [RFC9350]. This computation uses the IP Flex-Algorithm data-plane Flexible Algorithm data
plane participation and is independent of the Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm
calculation done for any other Flex-Algorithm data-plane Flexible Algorithm data plane (e.g.,
SR, SRv6).
The IP Flex-Algorithm data-plane Flexible Algorithm data plane only considers participating
nodes during the Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm calculation. When computing
paths for a given Flex-Algorithm, all nodes that do not advertise
participation for the such IP Flex-Algorithm, as described in Section 5,
MUST be pruned from the topology.
8. IP Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm Forwarding
The IP Algorithm Prefix Reachability advertisement as described in
Section 5 includes the MTID value that associates the prefix with a
specific topology. Algorithm Prefix Reachability advertisement also
includes an Algorithm value that explicitly associates the prefix
with a specific Flex-Algorithm. The paths to the prefix MUST be
calculated using the specified Flex-Algorithm in the associated
topology.
Forwarding entries for the IP Flex-Algorithm prefixes advertised in
IGPs MUST be installed in the forwarding plane of the receiving IP
Flex-Algorithm prefix capable routers when they participate in the
associated topology and algorithm. Forwarding entries for IP Flex-
Algorithm prefixes associated with Flex-Algorithms in which the node
is not participating MUST NOT be installed in the forwarding plane.
9. Deployment Considerations
IGP Flex-Algorithm Flexible Algorithm can be used by many data-planes. data planes. The original
specification was done for SR and SRv6, SRv6; this specification adds IP as
another data-plane data plane that can use IGP Flex-Algorithm. Flexible Algorithm. Other data- data
planes may be defined in the future. This section provides some
details about the coexistence of the various data-planes data planes of an IGP
Flex-Algorithm.
Flex-Algorithm definition
Flexible Algorithm.
Flexible Algorithm Definition (FAD), as described in [RFC9350], is data-
data plane independent and is used by all Flex-Algorithm data-planes. Flexible Algorithm data
planes.
Participation in the Flex-Algorithm, Flexible Algorithm, as described in [RFC9350],
is
data-plane data plane specific.
Calculation of the flex-algo Flexible Algorithm paths is data-plane data plane specific
and uses
data-plane specific data-plane-specific participation advertisements.
Data-plane specific
Data-plane-specific participation and calculation guarantee that the
forwarding of the traffic over the Flex-Algorithm data-plane specific data-plane-specific
paths is consistent between all nodes that apply the IGP Flex-
Algorithm to the data-plane. data plane.
Multiple data-planes data planes can use the same Flex-Algorithm value at the
same time and, and as such, share the FAD for it. For example, SR-
MPLS and IP can both use a common Flex-Algorithm. Traffic for SR-
MPLS will be forwarded based on Flex-algorithm specific Flex-Algorithm-specific SR SIDs.
Traffic for IP Flex-Algorithm will be forwarded based on Flex-
Algorithm specific
Algorithm-specific prefix reachability advertisements. Note that for
a particular Flex-Algorithm, for a particular IP prefix, there will
only be path(s) calculated and installed for a single data-plane. data plane.
10. Protection
In many networks where IGP Flexible Algorithms are deployed, IGP
restoration will be fast and additional protection mechanisms will
not be required. IGP restoration may be enhanced by Equal Cost
Multipath (ECMP).
In other networks, operators can deploy additional protection
mechanisms. The following are examples:
* Loop Free Loop-Free Alternates (LFA) (LFAs) [RFC5286]
* Remote Loop Free Loop-Free Alternates (R-LFA) (R-LFAs) [RFC7490]
LFA and R-LFA computations MUST be restricted to the flex-algo Flex-Algorithm
topology and the computed backup nexthops next hops should be programmed for
the IP flex-algo Flex-Algorithm prefixes.
11. IANA Considerations

12. Security Considerations
This document inherits security considerations from [RFC9350].
This document adds one new way to disrupt IGP networks that are using
Flex-Algorithm:
Flexible Algorithm: an attacker can suppress reachability for a given
prefix whose reachability is advertised by a legitimate node for a
particular IP Flex-Algorithm X, X by advertising the same prefix in
Flex-Algorithm Y from another, another malicious node. (To see why this is,
consider, for example, the rule given in the second-last second-to-last paragraph
of Section 6.1).
This attack can be addressed by the existing security extensions, as
described in [RFC5304] and [RFC5310] for IS-IS, in [RFC2328] and
[RFC7474]for
[RFC7474] for OSPFv2, and in [RFC4552] and [RFC5340] for OSPFv3.
If a node that is authenticated is taken over by an attacker, such a
rogue node can perform the attack described above. Such an attack is
not preventable through authentication, and it is not different from
advertising any other incorrect information through IS-IS or OSPF.
