Such advertisements allow entities (e.g., centralized controllers) to determine whether a particular Segment Identifier (SID) stack can be supported in a given network. @@ -155,29 +155,31 @@ This document describes extensions that enable BGP-LS speakers to signal the MSD capabilities (described in [RFC8491] ) of nodes and their links in a network to a BGP-LS consumer of network topology such as a centralized controller. The centralized controller can leverage this information in computation of SR paths and their instantiation on network nodes based on their MSD capabilities. When a BGP-LS speaker is originating the topology learnt via link-state routing protocols like OSPF or IS-IS, the MSD information for the nodes and their links is sourced from the underlying extensions as - defined in [RFC8476] and [RFC8491] respectively.

The extensions introduced in this document allow for advertisement of different MSD-Types. This document does not define these MSD-Types but leverages the definition, guidelines and the code-point registry specified in [RFC8491]. This enables sharing of MSD-Types that may be defined in the future by the IGPs in BGP-LS. 3. Node MSD TLV Node MSD is encoded in a new Node Attribute TLV [RFC7752] using the
