This document proposes an extension to OSPF Version 2 for advertising This document proposes an extension to OSPF Version 2 for advertising
link capabilities using the extensions defined for traffic link capabilities using the extensions defined for traffic
engineering. The link capabilities are defined there for future engineering. The link capabilities are defined there for future
extensibility. To support the signaling requirements of U-turn extensibility. To support the signaling requirements of U-turn
alternates for IP Fast-Reroute, this document defines three bits in alternates for IP Fast-Reroute, this document defines three bits in
the proposed link capabilities extension. the proposed link capabilities extension.

For other applications, such as RSVP-TE FRR [RFC4090], this means the
