1. Introduction
BGP - Link State (BGP-LS) [RFC7752] defines Network Layer
Reachability Information (NLRI) and attributes in order to carry
link-state information. New BGP-LS Link Attribute TLVs are required
in order to carry the Traffic Engineering Metric Extensions defined
in [RFC8570] and [RFC7471].

2.8. Mappings to IGP Source Sub-TLVs
This section documents the mappings between the Link Attribute TLVs
defined in this document and the corresponding advertisements sourced
by the IGPs.
For OSPFv2 and OSPFv3, the advertisements are defined in [RFC7471].
For IS-IS, the advertisements are defined in [RFC8570].

3. Security Considerations
Procedures and protocol extensions defined in this document do not
affect the BGP security model. See the "Security Considerations"
section of [RFC4271] for a discussion of BGP security. Also, refer
to [RFC4272] and [RFC6952] for analyses of security issues for BGP.
Security considerations for acquiring and distributing BGP-LS
information are discussed in [RFC7752].
The TLVs introduced in this document are used to propagate the
Traffic Engineering Metric Extensions defined in [RFC8570] and
[RFC7471]. These TLVs represent the state and resource availability
of the IGP link. It is assumed that the IGP instances originating
these TLVs will support all the required security and authentication
mechanisms (as described in [RFC8570] and [RFC7471]) in order to
prevent any security issues when propagating the TLVs into BGP-LS.
Ginsberg, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
^L
RFC 8571 BGP-LS Advertisement of IGP TE Metric Extensions March 2019
The advertisement of the link attribute information defined in this
document presents no additional risk beyond that associated with the
existing link attribute information already supported in [RFC7752].
4. IANA Considerations
IANA has made assignments in the "BGP-LS Node Descriptor, Link
Descriptor, Prefix Descriptor, and Attribute TLVs" registry for the
new Link Attribute TLVs as listed below:
TLV Code Point Description
--------------------------------------------------------
1114 Unidirectional Link Delay
1115 Min/Max Unidirectional Link Delay
1116 Unidirectional Delay Variation
1117 Unidirectional Link Loss
1118 Unidirectional Residual Bandwidth
1119 Unidirectional Available Bandwidth
1120 Unidirectional Utilized Bandwidth
