Link-State Family
=================
The BGP Link-State (BGP-LS) Multiprotocol extension allows to distribute Link-State and Traffic Engineering (TE) information.
This information is typically distributed by IGP routing protocols with in the network, limiting LSDB or TED visibility to the IGP area.
The BGP-LS-enabled routers are capable to collect such information from networks (multiple IGP areas, inter-AS) and share with external components (i.e. OpenDaylight BGP).
The information is applicable in ALTO servers and PCEs, as both need to gather information about topologies.
In addition, link-state information is extended to carry segment information (Spring).

Configuration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This section shows a way to enable IPv4 and IPv6 Labeled Unicast family in BGP speaker and peer configuration.
BGP Speaker
'''''''''''
To enable BGP-LS support in BGP plugin, first configure BGP speaker instance:
**URL:** ``/rests/data/openconfig-network-instance:network-instances/network-instance=global-bgp/protocols``
**Method:** ``POST``
.. tabs::
.. tab:: XML
**Content-Type:** ``application/xml``
**Request Body:**
.. code-block:: xml
bgp-example
x:BGP
192.0.2.2
65000
LINKSTATE
.. tab:: JSON
**Content-Type:** ``application/json``
**Request Body:**
.. code-block:: json
{
"protocol": [
{
"identifier": "openconfig-policy-types:BGP",
"name": "bgp-example",
"bgp-openconfig-extensions:bgp": {
"global": {
"config": {
"router-id": "192.0.2.2",
"as": 65000
},
"afi-safis": {
"afi-safi": [
{
"afi-safi-name": "LINKSTATE"
}
]
}
}
}
}
]
}
Linkstate path attribute
''''''''''''''''''''''''
The BGP-LS specification has seen early field deployments before the code point assignments have been
properly allocated. RFC7752 specifies this attribute to be TYPE 29, while earlier software is using
TYPE 99.
OpenDaylight defaults to using the RFC7752 allocation, but can be reconfigured to recognize the legacy
code point allocation. This can be achieved through Karaf shell in a running instance:
.. code-block:: console
opendaylight-user@root>config:edit org.opendaylight.bgp.extensions.linkstate
opendaylight-user@root>config:property-set ianaAttributeType false
opendaylight-user@root>config:update
Alternatively, the same effect can be achieved by placing the line ``ianaAttributeType = false`` into
``etc/org.opendaylight.bgp.extensions.linkstate.cfg`` in the installation directory.
BGP Peer
''''''''
Here is an example for BGP peer configuration with enabled BGP-LS family.
**URL:** ``/rests/data/openconfig-network-instance:network-instances/network-instance=global-bgp/openconfig-network-instance:protocols/protocol=openconfig-policy-types:BGP,bgp-example/bgp/neighbors``
**Method:** ``POST``
.. tabs::
.. tab:: XML
**Content-Type:** ``application/xml``
**Request Body:**
.. code-block:: xml
192.0.2.1
LINKSTATE
.. tab:: JSON
**Content-Type:** ``application/json``
**Request Body:**
.. code-block:: json
{
"neighbor": [
{
"neighbor-address": "192.0.2.1",
"afi-safis": {
"afi-safi": [
{
"afi-safi-name": "LINKSTATE"
}
]
}
}
]
}

Usage
^^^^^
The Link-State table in a instance of the speaker's Loc-RIB can be verified via REST:
**URL:** ``/rests/data/bgp-rib:bgp-rib/rib/bgp-example/loc-rib/tables=bgp-linkstate:linkstate-address-family,bgp-linkstate:linkstate-subsequent-address-family/linkstate-routes?content=nonconfig``
**Method:** ``GET``
.. tabs::
.. tab:: XML
**Response Body:**
.. code-block:: xml
...
.. tab:: JSON
**Response Body:**
.. code-block:: json
{
"bgp-linkstate:linkstate-routes": "..."
}
.. note:: Link-State routes mapping to topology links/nodes/prefixes is supported by BGP Topology Provider.
