OSPFv3 Extensions for Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6)
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 an MPLS or IPv6
data plane. This document describes the OSPFv3 extensions required
to support SR over the IPv6 data plane.

1. Introduction
The Segment Routing (SR) architecture [RFC8402] specifies how a node
can steer a packet using an ordered list of instructions called
segments. These segments are identified using Segment Identifiers
(SIDs).
SR can be instantiated on the IPv6 data plane through the use of the
Segment Routing Header (SRH) defined in [RFC8754]. SR instantiation
on the IPv6 data plane is referred to as SRv6.
The network programming paradigm for SRv6 is specified in [RFC8986].
It describes how any behavior can be bound to a SID and how any
network program can be expressed as a combination of SIDs. It also
describes several well-known behaviors that can be bound to SRv6
SIDs.
This document specifies OSPFv3 extensions to support SRv6
capabilities as defined in [RFC8986], [RFC8754], and [RFC9259]. The
extensions include advertisement of an OSPFv3 router's SRv6
capabilities, SRv6 Locators, and required SRv6 SIDs along with their
supported Endpoint behaviors. Familiarity with [RFC8986] is
necessary to understand the extensions specified in this document.
At a high level, the extensions to OSPFv3 are comprised of the
following:
1. An SRv6 Capabilities TLV to advertise the SRv6 features and SRH
operations supported by an OSPFv3 router.
2. Several sub-TLVs to advertise various SRv6 Maximum SID Depths.
3. An SRv6 Locator TLV using an SRv6 Locator Link State
Advertisement (LSA) to advertise the SRv6 Locator -- a form of
summary address for the IGP algorithm-specific SIDs instantiated
on an OSPFv3 router.
4. TLVs and sub-TLVs to advertise the SRv6 SIDs instantiated on an
OSPFv3 router along with their Endpoint behaviors.
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 TLV
The SRv6 Capabilities TLV is used by an OSPFv3 router to advertise
its support for the SR Segment Endpoint Node [RFC8754] functionality
along with its SRv6-related capabilities. This is an optional top-
level TLV of the OSPFv3 Router Information LSA [RFC7770] that MUST be
advertised by an SRv6-enabled router.
This TLV MUST be advertised only once in the OSPFv3 Router
Information LSA. When multiple SRv6 Capabilities TLVs are received
from a given router, the receiver MUST use the first occurrence of
the TLV in the OSPFv3 Router Information LSA. If the SRv6
Capabilities TLV appears in multiple OSPFv3 Router Information LSAs
that have different flooding scopes, the TLV in the OSPFv3 Router
Information LSA with the area-scoped flooding scope MUST be used. If
the SRv6 Capabilities TLV appears in multiple OSPFv3 Router
Information LSAs that have the same flooding scope, the TLV in the
OSPFv3 Router Information LSA with the numerically smallest Link
State ID MUST be used, and subsequent instances of the TLV MUST be
ignored.
The OSPFv3 Router Information LSA can be advertised at any of the
defined flooding scopes (link, area, or Autonomous System (AS)). For
the purpose of SRv6 Capabilities TLV advertisement, area-scoped
flooding is REQUIRED. Link and AS-scoped flooding is OPTIONAL.
The format of the OSPFv3 SRv6 Capabilities TLV is shown below:
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

Length: 2-octet field. The total length (in octets) of the value
portion of the TLV, including nested sub-TLVs.
Reserved: 2-octet field. It MUST be set to 0 on transmission and
MUST be ignored on receipt.

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
where:
O-flag: If set, then the router is capable of supporting the
O-flag in the SRH flags, as specified in [RFC9259].
Other flags are not defined and are reserved for future use.
They MUST be set to 0 on transmission and MUST be ignored on
receipt.
The SRv6 Capabilities TLV may contain optional sub-TLVs. No sub-TLVs
are defined in this specification.
3. Advertisement of Supported Algorithms
An SRv6-enabled OSPFv3 router advertises its algorithm support using
the SR-Algorithm TLV defined in [RFC8665] and as described in
[RFC8666].
4. Advertisement of Maximum SRv6 SID Depths
An SRv6-enabled router may have different capabilities and limits
related to SRH processing. These need to be advertised to other
OSPFv3 routers in the SRv6 domain.
[RFC8476] defines the means to advertise node- and link-specific
values for Maximum SID Depth (MSD) types. Node MSDs are advertised
using the Node MSD TLV in the OSPFv3 Router Information LSA
[RFC7770], while Link MSDs are advertised using the Link MSD sub-TLV
of the Router-Link TLV [RFC8362]. The format of the MSD types for
OSPFv3 is defined in [RFC8476].
The MSD types for SRv6 that are defined in Section 4 of [RFC9352] for
IS-IS are also used by OSPFv3. These MSD types are allocated in the
"IGP MSD-Types" registry maintained by IANA and are shared by IS-IS
and OSPF. They are described in the subsections below.
4.1. Maximum Segments Left MSD Type
The Maximum Segments Left MSD Type signals the maximum value of the
Segments Left field of the SRH of a received packet before applying
the Endpoint behavior associated with a SID. If no value is
advertised, the supported value is assumed to be 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", which are
flavors defined in [RFC8986]. If the advertised value is zero or no
value is advertised, then the router cannot apply the 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 as part of the H.Encaps behavior as defined in
[RFC8986]. 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. A non-zero SRH Max
H.Encaps MSD indicates that the headend can insert an SRH with SIDs
up to the advertised value.
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. These include, but
are not limited to, End.DX6, End.DT4, End.DT46, End with USD, and
End.X with USD as defined in [RFC8986]. 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 when the outer IPv6 header contains an SRH.
5. SRv6 SIDs and Reachability
An SRv6 SID is 128 bits and consists of locator, function, and
argument parts as described in [RFC8986].
An OSPFv3 router is provisioned with algorithm-specific locators for
each algorithm supported by that router. Each locator is a covering
prefix for all SIDs provisioned on that router that have the matching
algorithm.
Locators MUST be advertised within an SRv6 Locator TLV (see
Section 7.1) using an SRv6 Locator LSA (see Section 7). The SRv6
Locator LSA is introduced instead of reusing the respective Extended
Prefix LSAs [RFC8362] for a clear distinction between the two
different types of reachability advertisements (viz., the base OSPFv3
prefix reachability advertisements and the SRv6 Locator reachability
advertisements).
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 algorithm is supported by
the receiving OSPFv3 router. Locators can be of different route
types that map to existing OSPFv3 LSA types: Intra-Area, Inter-Area,
External, and Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA). The advertisement and
propagation of the SRv6 Locator LSAs also follow the OSPFv3 [RFC5340]
specifications for the respective LSA types. 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 OSPFv3 [RFC5340] specifications for the respective LSA types.
Locators associated with algorithms 0 and 1 (refer to Section 3.1.1
of [RFC8402]) SHOULD also be advertised using Extended LSA types with
extended TLVs [RFC8362] so that routers that do not support SRv6 will
install a forwarding entry for SRv6 traffic matching those locators.
When operating in Extended LSA sparse-mode [RFC8362], these locators
SHOULD also be advertised using Legacy LSAs [RFC5340].
When SRv6 Locators are also advertised as Intra-Area-Prefix-LSAs and/
or E-Intra-Area-Prefix-LSAs, the SRv6 Locator MUST be considered as a
prefix associated with the router, and the referenced LSA type MUST
point to the Router LSA of the advertising router as specified in
Section 4.4.3.9 of [RFC5340].
In cases where a locator advertisement is received both in a prefix
reachability advertisement (i.e., via Legacy LSAs and/or Extended
Prefix TLVs using Extended LSAs) and an SRv6 Locator TLV, the prefix
reachability advertisement in the Legacy LSA or Extended LSA MUST be
preferred over the advertisement in the SRv6 Locator TLV when
installing entries in the forwarding plane. This prevents
inconsistent forwarding entries between SRv6-capable and
SRv6-incapable OSPFv3 routers. Such preference for prefix
reachability advertisement does not have any impact on the rest of
the data advertised in the SRv6 Locator TLV.
SRv6 SIDs are advertised as sub-TLVs in the SRv6 Locator TLV except
for SRv6 End.X SIDs and LAN End.X SIDs, which are associated with a
specific neighbor/link and are therefore advertised as sub-TLVs of
the E-Router-Link TLV.
SRv6 SIDs received from other OSFPv3 routers 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 algorithm will be forwarded
correctly, while SRv6 SIDs associated with an unsupported algorithm
will be dropped.
| NOTE: The drop behavior depends on the absence of a default/
| summary route matching the locator prefix.
If the locator associated with SRv6 SID advertisements is the longest
prefix match installed in the forwarding plane for those SIDs, this
will 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 algorithm is the
longest prefix match.
* Another prefix advertised via Legacy or Extended LSA advertisement
is the longest prefix match.
5.1. SRv6 Flexible Algorithm
[RFC9350] specifies IGP Flexible Algorithm mechanisms for OSPFv3.
Section 14.2 of [RFC9350] explains SRv6 forwarding for Flexible
Algorithms, and analogous procedures apply for supporting SRv6
Flexible Algorithms using OSPFv3. When the algorithm value that is
advertised in the SRv6 Locator TLV (refer to Section 7.1) represents
a Flexible Algorithm, the procedures described in Section 14.2 of
[RFC9350] are followed for the programming of those specific SRv6
Locators.
Locators associated with Flexible Algorithms SHOULD NOT be advertised
in the base OSPFv3 prefix reachability advertisements. Advertising
the Flexible Algorithm locator in a regular prefix reachability
advertisement would make it available for non-Flexible Algorithm
forwarding (i.e., algorithm 0).
The procedures for OSPFv3 Flexible Algorithm for SR-MPLS, as
specified in [RFC9350], also apply for SRv6; these procedures include
a) ASBR reachability, b) inter-area, external, and NSSA prefix
advertisements, and c) the use of those prefix advertisements in
Flexible Algorithm route computation.
6. Advertisement of Anycast Property
Both prefixes and SRv6 Locators may be configured as anycast, and 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.
The AC-bit (value 0x80) in the OSPFv3 PrefixOptions field [RFC5340]
is defined to advertise the anycast property:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
|AC|EL| N|DN| P| x|LA|NU|
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
Figure 2: OSPFv3 Prefix Options Field
When the prefix/SRv6 Locator is configured as anycast, the AC-bit
MUST be set. Otherwise, this flag MUST be clear.
The AC-bit MUST be preserved when re-advertising the prefix/SRv6
Locator across areas.
The AC-bit and the N-bit MUST NOT both be set. If the N-bit and AC-
bit are both set in the prefix/SRv6 Locator advertisement, the
receiving routers MUST ignore the N-bit.
The same prefix/SRv6 Locator can be advertised by multiple routers.
If at least one of them sets the AC-bit in its advertisement, the
prefix/SRv6 Locator is considered as anycast.
A prefix/SRv6 Locator that is advertised by a single node and without
an AC-bit is considered node-specific.
All the nodes advertising the same anycast SRv6 Locator MUST
instantiate the exact same set of SIDs under that anycast SRv6
Locator. Failure to do so may result in traffic being dropped or
misrouted.
The PrefixOptions field is common to the prefix reachability
advertisements (i.e., the base OSPFv3 prefix LSA types defined in
[RFC5340], the OSPFv3 Extended Prefix TLV types defined in
[RFC8362]), and the SRv6 Locator TLV advertisements specified in
Section 7.1 of this document. When a router originates both the
prefix reachability advertisement and the SRv6 Locator advertisement
for a given prefix, the router SHOULD advertise the same
PrefixOptions bits in both advertisements. In the case of any
inconsistency between the PrefixOptions advertised in the SRv6
Locator and in the prefix reachability advertisements, the ones
advertised in the prefix reachability advertisement MUST be
preferred.
7. SRv6 Locator LSA
The SRv6 Locator LSA has a function code of 42. The S1/S2 bits are
dependent on the desired flooding scope for the LSA. The flooding
scope of the SRv6 Locator LSA depends on the scope of the advertised
SRv6 Locator and is under the control of the advertising router. The
U-bit will be set indicating that the LSA should be flooded even if
it is not understood.
Multiple SRv6 Locator LSAs can be advertised by an OSPFv3 router, and
they are distinguished by their Link State IDs (which are chosen
arbitrarily by the originating router).
The format of the SRv6 Locator LSA is shown below:
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 3: SRv6 Locator LSA
The format of the TLVs within the body of the SRv6 Locator LSA is the
same as the format used by [RFC3630]. The variable TLV section
consists of one or more nested TLV tuples. Nested TLVs are also
referred to as sub-TLVs. The format of each TLV is:
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 4: SRv6 Locator LSA TLV Format
The Length field defines the length of the value portion in octets
(thus, a TLV with no value portion would have a length of 0). The
TLV is padded to 4-octet alignment; padding is not included in the
Length field (so a 3-octet value would have a length of 3, but the
total size of the TLV would be 8 octets). Nested TLVs are also
32-bit aligned. For example, a 1-byte value would have the Length
field set to 1, and 3 octets of padding would be added to the end of
the value portion of the TLV. The padding is composed of zeros.
7.1. SRv6 Locator TLV
The SRv6 Locator TLV is a top-level TLV of the SRv6 Locator LSA that
is used to advertise an SRv6 Locator, its attributes, and SIDs
associated with it. Multiple SRv6 Locator TLVs MAY be advertised in
each SRv6 Locator LSA. However, since the S12 bits define the
flooding scope, the LSA flooding scope has to satisfy the
application-specific requirements for all the locators included in a
single SRv6 Locator LSA.
When multiple SRv6 Locator TLVs are received from a given router in
an SRv6 Locator LSA for the same locator, the receiver MUST use the
first occurrence of the TLV in the LSA. If the SRv6 Locator TLV for
the same locator appears in multiple SRv6 Locator LSAs that have
different flooding scopes, the TLV in the SRv6 Locator LSA with the
area-scoped flooding scope MUST be used. If the SRv6 Locator TLV for
the same locator appears in multiple SRv6 Locator LSAs that have the
same flooding scope, the TLV in the SRv6 Locator LSA with the
numerically smallest Link State ID MUST be used, and subsequent
instances of the TLV MUST be ignored.
The format of the SRv6 Locator TLV is shown below:
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

Algorithm: 1-octet field. The algorithm associated with the SRv6
Locator. Algorithm values are defined in the "IGP Algorithm
Types" registry [RFC8665].
Locator Length: 1-octet field. Specifies the length of the locator
prefix as the number of locator bits from the range (1-128).
PrefixOptions: 1-octet field. Specifies the prefix options bits/
flags as specified in [RFC5340] and further extended by [RFC8362]
and Section 6 of this document.
Metric: 4-octet field. The metric value associated with the SRv6
Locator. The metric value of 0xFFFFFFFF MUST be considered as
unreachable.
Locator: 1-16 octets. This field encodes the advertised SRv6
Locator as an IPv6 Prefix as specified in Appendix A.4.1 of
[RFC5340].
Sub-TLVs: Used to advertise sub-TLVs that provide additional
attributes for the given SRv6 Locator and SRv6 SIDs associated
with the SRv6 Locator.
7.2. SRv6 Locator Sub-TLVs
The following OSPFv3 Extended-LSA sub-TLVs corresponding to the
Extended Prefix LSAs are also applicable for use as sub-TLVs of the
SRv6 Locator TLV using code points as specified in Section 13.9:
* IPv6-Forwarding-Address sub-TLV [RFC8362]
* Route-Tag sub-TLV [RFC8362]
* Prefix Source OSPF Router-ID sub-TLV [RFC9084]
* Prefix Source Router Address sub-TLV [RFC9084]
8. Advertisement of SRv6 End SIDs
The SRv6 End SID sub-TLV is a sub-TLV of the SRv6 Locator TLV in the
SRv6 Locator LSA (defined in Section 7). It is used to advertise the
SRv6 SIDs belonging to the router along with their associated
Endpoint behaviors. SIDs associated with adjacencies are advertised
as described in Section 9. Every SRv6-enabled OSPFv3 router SHOULD
advertise at least one SRv6 SID associated with an End behavior for
itself as specified in [RFC8986], although it MAY omit doing so if
that node is not going to be used as a Segment Endpoint (e.g., for TE
or Topology Independent Loop-Free Alternate (TI-LFA)) by any SR
Source Node.
SRv6 End SIDs inherit the algorithm from the parent locator. 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.
The router MAY advertise multiple instances of the SRv6 End SID sub-
TLV within the SRv6 Locator TLV -- one for each of the SRv6 SIDs to
be advertised. When multiple SRv6 End SID sub-TLVs are received in
the SRv6 Locator TLV from a given router for the same SRv6 SID value,
the receiver MUST use the first occurrence of the sub-TLV in the SRv6
Locator TLV.
The format of the SRv6 End SID sub-TLV is shown below
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

by the receiver.
SID: 16-octet field. This field encodes the advertised SRv6 SID.
Sub-TLVs: Used to advertise sub-TLVs that provide additional
attributes for the given SRv6 SID.
9. Advertisement of SRv6 SIDs Associated with Adjacencies
The SRv6 Endpoint behaviors defined in [RFC8986] include certain
behaviors that are specific to links or adjacencies. The most basic
of these (which is critical for link-state routing protocols like
OSPFv3) is the End.X behavior, which is an instruction to forward to
a specific neighbor on a specific link. These SRv6 SIDs and others
that are defined in [RFC8986], which are specific to links or
adjacencies, need to be advertised to OSPFv3 routers within an area
to steer SRv6 traffic over a specific link or adjacency.
Therefore, SRv6 SIDs that are specific to a particular neighbor, such
as End.X, are not advertised as a sub-TLVs of the SRv6 Locator TLV.
Instead, they are advertised via two different optional sub-TLVs of
the E-Router-Link TLV defined in [RFC8362]:
SRv6 End.X SID sub-TLV: Used for OSPFv3 adjacencies over point-to-
point or point-to-multipoint links and for the adjacency to the
Designated Router (DR) over broadcast and Non-Broadcast-Multi-
Access (NBMA) links.
SRv6 LAN End.X SID sub-TLV: Used for OSPFv3 adjacencies on broadcast
and NBMA links to the Backup DR and DR-Other neighbors. This sub-
TLV includes the OSPFv3 Router-ID of the neighbor and thus allows
for an instance of this sub-TLV for each neighbor to be explicitly
advertised as a sub-TLV of the E-Router-Link TLV for the same
link.
Every SRv6-enabled OSPFv3 router SHOULD instantiate at least one
unique SRv6 End.X SID corresponding to each of its neighbors,
although it MAY omit doing so if features like TE or TI-LFA that
require End.X SID are not in use. A router MAY instantiate more than
one SRv6 End.X SID for a single neighbor. The same SRv6 End.X SID
MAY be advertised for more than one neighbor. Thus, multiple
instances of the SRv6 End.X SID and SRv6 LAN End.X SID sub-TLVs MAY
be advertised within the E-Router-Link TLV for a single link.
All End.X and LAN End.X SIDs MUST be subsumed by the subnet of a
locator with the matching algorithm that is advertised by the same
OSPFv3 router in an SRv6 Locator TLV. End.X SIDs that do not meet
this requirement MUST be ignored. This ensures that the OSPFv3
router advertising the End.X or LAN End.X SID is also advertising its
corresponding locator with the algorithm that will be used for
computing paths destined to the SID.

10. SRv6 SID Structure Sub-TLV
The SRv6 SID Structure sub-TLV is used to advertise the structure of

TLV of the following:
* SRv6 End SID sub-TLV (refer to Section 8)
* SRv6 End.X SID sub-TLV (refer to Section 9.1)
* SRv6 LAN End.X SID sub-TLV (refer to Section 9.2)
The 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:
Type: 2-octet field. The value for this type is 30.
Length: 2-octet field. The value MUST be 4.
LB Length: 1-octet field. SRv6 SID Locator Block length in bits.
LN Length: 1-octet field. SRv6 SID Locator Node length in bits.
Function Length: 1-octet field. SRv6 SID Function length in bits.
Argument Length: 1-octet field. SRv6 SID Argument length in bits.
The SRv6 SID Structure sub-TLV MUST NOT appear more than once in its
parent sub-TLV. If it appears more than once in its parent sub-TLV,
the parent sub-TLV MUST be ignored by the receiver.
The sum of all four sizes advertised in SRv6 SID Structure sub-TLV
MUST be less than or equal to 128 bits. If the sum of all four sizes
advertised in the SRv6 SID Structure sub-TLV is larger than 128 bits,
the parent TLV or sub-TLV MUST be ignored by the receiver.
The SRv6 SID Structure 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 OSPFv3. These can be learned by controllers via
BGP-LS [RFC9514] and then monitored for conformance to the SRv6
SID allocation scheme chosen by the operator as described in
Section 3.2 of [RFC8986].
* Verification and the 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.
11. Advertising Endpoint Behaviors
Endpoint behaviors are defined in [RFC8986]. The code points for the
Endpoint behaviors are defined in the "SRv6 Endpoint Behaviors"
registry of [RFC8986]. This section lists the Endpoint behaviors and
their code points, which MAY be advertised by OSPFv3 and the sub-TLVs
in which each type MAY appear.

12. Security Considerations
This document introduces extensions to the OSPFv3 protocol and, as
such, does not affect existing security considerations for OSPFv3 as
documented in [RFC5340]. [RFC7166] describes an alternative and
improved authentication mechanism to IPsec for OSPFv3. The use of
authentication is RECOMMENDED for OSPFv3 deployment.
Reception of a malformed TLV or sub-TLV SHOULD be counted and/or
logged in a rate-limited manner for further analysis.
This document describes the OSPFv3 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 as well.
The advertisement of an incorrect MSD value may have negative
consequences. See [RFC8476] 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].

IANA has added the following note to the "OSPFv3 Extended-LSA Sub-
TLVs" registry within the "Open Shortest Path First v3 (OSPFv3)
Parameters" registry group. The purpose of this note is to ensure
that any document requesting allocations in this registry for sub-
TLVs of any of the OSPFv3 Extended Prefix TLVs checks if allocations
are also applicable for the "OSPFv3 SRv6 Locator LSA Sub-TLVs"
registry defined in this document.
| Note: Allocations made in this registry for sub-TLVs that are
| associated with OSPFv3 Extended TLVs related to prefix
| advertisements MUST be evaluated for their applicability as OSPFv3
| SRv6 Locator sub-TLVs, which are required to be allocated in the
