3.4.  Unidirectional Link Loss TLV

   This sub-TLV advertises the loss (as a packet percentage) between two
   directly connected IGP link-state neighbors.  The semantic of the TLV
   is described in [RFC7810] and [RFC7471].

3.5.  Unidirectional Residual Bandwidth TLV

   This sub-TLV advertises the residual bandwidth between two directly
   connected IGP link-state neighbors.  The semantic of the TLV is
   described in [RFC7810] and [RFC7471].

3.6.  Unidirectional Available Bandwidth TLV

   This sub-TLV advertises the available bandwidth between two directly
   connected IGP link-state neighbors.  The semantic of the TLV is
   described in [RFC7810] and [RFC7471].

3.7.  Unidirectional Utilized Bandwidth TLV

   This sub-TLV advertises the bandwidth utilization between two
   directly connected IGP link-state neighbors.  The semantic of the TLV
   is described in [RFC7810] and [RFC7471].

4.  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 analysis of security issues for BGP.

   The TLVs introduced in this document are used to propagate IGP
   defined information ([RFC7810] and [RFC7471].)  These TLVs represent
   the state and resources availability of the IGP link.  The IGP

   instances originating these TLVs are assumed to have all the required
   security and authentication mechanism (as described in [RFC7810] and
   [RFC7471]) in order to prevent any security issue when propagating
   the TLVs into BGP-LS.

5.  IANA Considerations

   This document requests assigning code-points from the registry "BGP-
   LS Node Descriptor, Link Descriptor, Prefix Descriptor, and Attribute
   TLVs" for the new Link Attribute TLVs deefined in the table here
   below:

    TLV code-point                 Value
   --------------------------------------------------------
    1104 (Suggested)  Unidirectional Link Delay

    1105 (Suggested)  Min/Max Unidirectional Link Delay

    1106 (Suggested)  Unidirectional Delay Variation

    1107 (Suggested)  Unidirectional Packet Loss

    1108 (Suggested)  Unidirectional Residual Bandwidth

    1109 (Suggested)  Unidirectional Available Bandwidth

    1110 (Suggested)  Unidirectional Bandwidth Utilization
