1.  Introduction

   BGP-LS ([RFC7752]) defines 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 [I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-rfc7810bis] and [RFC7471].

2.  Link Attribute TLVs for TE Metric Extensions

   The following new Link Attribute TLVs are defined:

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 analysis of security issues for BGP.
   Security considerations for acquiring and distributing BGP-LS
   information are discussed in [RFC7752].

Ginsberg, et al.          Expires June 3, 2019                  [Page 6]
Internet-Draft BGP-LS Advertisement of Performance Metric  November 2018

   The TLVs introduced in this document are used to propagate IGP
   defined information ([I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-rfc7810bis] 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 [I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-rfc7810bis] and [RFC7471]) in order to prevent
   any security issue when propagating the TLVs into BGP-LS.  The
   advertisement of the link attribute information defined in this
   document presents no additional risk beyond that associated with the
   existing set of link attribute information already supported in
   [RFC7752].

4.  IANA Considerations

   IANA has made temporary assignments in the registry "BGP-LS Node
   Descriptor, Link Descriptor, Prefix Descriptor, and Attribute TLVs"
   for the new Link Attribute TLVs defined in the table below:

    TLV code-point                 Value

    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 Bandwidth Utilization
