1. Introduction
Segment Routing [RFC8402] leverages the source routing paradigm. An
ingress node steers a packet through an ordered list of
instructions,called segments.
Segment Routing can be directly instantiated on the IPv6 data plane
through the use of the Segment Routing Header defined in [RFC8754].
SRv6 refers to this SR instantiation on the IPv6 dataplane.
However, the size of the SRv6 SID presents a scalabilities challenge
to use topological instructions that define a strict explicitly
routed path in combination with service-based instructions. At the
same time, the size of the SRH/SID may be a challenge for some data
plane processors and traffic overhead.
[I-D.cheng-spring-shorter-srv6-sid-requirement] describes a list of
requirements for the use of a shortened identifier in a segment
routing network with the IPv6 data plane.
[I-D.mirsky-6man-unified-id-sr] proposed an extension of SRH that
enables the use of a shorter segment identifier in dataplane, such as
32-bits Label format SID or 32-bits IP address format SID.
This document defines extensions to IGP in order to to support the
Shorter SRv6 SIDs contained in SID list that installed in dataplane.
2. Advertising Shorter SRv6 SIDs capabilities.
2.1. IS-IS Extensions
A node indicates that it supports the SR Segment Endpoint Node
functionality as specified in [RFC8754] by advertising a new SRv6
Capabilities sub-TLV [I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions] of the
router capabilities TLV [RFC7981].

Internet-Draft IGP for Shorter SRv6 SID May 2020
This document extensions the flags field in the SRv6 Capabilities
sub-TLV [I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions] to indicate the node
supports the Shorter SRv6 SIDs.
