1.  Introduction

   Segments are introduced in the SR architecture [RFC8402].  Segment
   Routing (SR) allows for a flexible definition of end-to-end paths by
   encoding paths as sequences of topological sub-paths, called
   "segments".

   Service Function Chaining (SFC) [RFC7665] provides support for the
   creation of composite services that consist of an ordered set of
   Service Functions (SF) that are to be applied to packets and/or
   frames selected as a result of classification.

   [I-D.ietf-spring-sr-service-programming] describes how a service can
   be associated with a SID and how to achieve service funtion chaining
   in SR-enabled MPLS and IPv6 networks.  It also defines SR-aware and
   SR-unaware services.  For a SR-unaware service ,there has to be a SR
   proxy handling the SR processing on behalf of the service .

   [I-D.dawra-idr-bgp-ls-sr-service-segments] propose extensions to BGP-
   LS for Service Chaining to distribute the service segment information
   to SR Controller.

   The network topology is shown in figure 1.

                  SR-C

                    |
               A----1----2----3----4----5----B
                         |         |
                         |         |
                         S1        S2 proxy----S2

Internet-Draft           IGP for Service Segment           February 2020

   Node 1-5 are nodes capital of segment routing.  A and B are two end
   hosts.  S1 is an SR-aware Service.  S2 is an SR-unaware Service.

   SR Controller (SR-C) is connected to node 1, but may be attached to
   any node 1-5 in the network.

   SR-C is capable of receiving BGP-LS updates to discover topology, and
   calculating constrained paths between 1 and 5.

   If node 1 gets the service segment information, it can use the BGP-LS
   extensions [I-D.ietf-spring-sr-service-programming] to advertise it
   to the SR-C, but how can node 1 get it is a question.but node 1 must
   get the service segment information from other nodes at first.

   This document proposes extensions for IGP to advertise service
   segment information so that there is only one SR node needed per
   Autonomous System to be connected with the SR-C through BGP-LS to
   advertise the information to it.

   This extension works for both SR-MPLS and SRv6.

2.  IGP Extensions for Service Segments

   After an SFF like node 2 or node 4 get the service segment
   information, it needs to advertise the information to other SR nodes
   in the domain through IGP.

   How can SFFs like node 2 and node 4 get the service segment
   information from S1 and S2 proxy will be discussed further.

   There may be other alternate mechanisms and are outside of scope of
   this document.

2.1.  IS-IS Extensions

   This document introduces new TLVs for SRv6 End SID sub-TLV
   [I-D.ietf-lsr-isis-srv6-extensions] and SID/Label sub-TLV [RFC8666]
   for SR-MPLS to associate the Service SID Value with Service-related
   Information.

   One of the new TLVs is Service Chaining (SC) TLV, the TLV is defined
   as follows :

             +---------------------------------------+
             |         Type (1 octet)                |
             +---------------------------------------+
             |        Length (1 octet)               |
             +---------------------------------------+
             |        Service Type(ST) (2 octet)     |
             +---------------------------------------+
             |        Flags (1 octet)                |
             +---------------------------------------+
             |        Traffic Type(1 octet)          |
             +---------------------------------------+
             |        RESERVED (2 octet)             |
             +---------------------------------------+

                    Figure 2:Service Chaining (SC) TLV

   where:

   Type,Length,Flags,Traffic Type and RESERVED are the same as the SC
   TLV defined in [I-D.dawra-idr-bgp-ls-sr-service-segments] chapter 2.

   Service Type: 16-bits field.The right most 12 bits categorize the
   Service: (such as "Firewall", "Classifier" etc.).

   0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   | P FLAG|    Service info       |
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

                      Figure 3:Service Type(ST) Field

   The first 4 bits are P FLAG which is used to indicate the SR proxy
   type with the following values:

   0000:SR-aware function.

   0001:Static proxy.

   0010:Dynamic proxy.

   0011:Masquerading proxy.

   0100:Shared memory proxy.

   Other values are reserved for new types of proxy.

   The P FLAG is mainly defined for SR-MPLS.

Internet-Draft           IGP for Service Segment           February 2020

   In SRv6,although most proxy types can be represented by the END
   functions[I-D.ietf-spring-sr-service-programming], there may be
   situations that the new type of proxy cannot be associated with the
   network programming function, or the SR proxy node does not support
   standard network programming, so the P flag is still useful.

   In the IS-IS notification message, when both SR proxy END function
   and P FLAG exist, the proxy type represented by END function shall
   prevail.

   Another Optional Opaque Metadata(OM) TLV is defined in figure 4.  The
   definition and structure are the same as the OM TLV defined in
   [I-D.dawra-idr-bgp-ls-sr-service-segments] chapter 2.

2.2.  OSPF Extensions

   This document introduces new TLVs for SRv6 End SID sub-TLV
   [I-D.li-ospf-ospfv3-srv6-extensions] and SID/Label sub-TLV
   [RFC8665]for SR-MPLS to associate the Service SID Value with Service-
   related Information.

   One of the new TLVs is Service Chaining (SC) TLV,

   same as that defined in the IS-IS extension above.

   Another Optional Opaque Metadata(OM) TLV is defined in figure 6.  The
