BGP-LS Extension for Inter-AS Topology Retrieval
draft-ietf-idr-bgpls-inter-as-topology-ext-09
Abstract
This document describes the process to build Border Gateway Protocol-
Link State (BGP-LS) key parameters in inter-domain scenario, defines
one new BGP-LS Network Layer Reachability Information (NLRI) type
(Stub Link NLRI) and some new inter Autonomous (inter-AS) Traffic
Engineering (TE) related Type-Length-Values (TLVs) for BGP-LS to let
Software Definition Network (SDN) controller retrieve the network
topology automatically under various inter-AS environments.
Such extension and process can enable the network operator to collect
the interconnect information between different domains and then
calculate the overall network topology automatically based on the
information provided by BGP-LS protocol.

1. Introduction
BGP-LS [RFC7752] describes the methodology that using BGP protocol to
transfer the Link-State information. Such method can enable SDN
controller to collect the underlay network topology automatically,
but normally it can only get the information within one Interior
Gateway Protocol (IGP) domain. If the operator has more than one IGP
