Overview

RFC 8814, “Signaling Maximum SID Depth Using the Border Gateway Protocol - Link State”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2020 by J. Tantsura, U. Chunduri, K. Talaulikar, G. Mirsky, N. Triantafillis. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

This document defines a way for a Border Gateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS) speaker to advertise multiple types of supported Maximum SID Depths (MSDs) at node and/or link granularity.

Such advertisements allow entities (e.g., centralized controllers) to determine whether a particular Segment Identifier (SID) stack can be supported in a given network.
