originating the topology learnt via link-state routing protocols like
OSPF or IS-IS, the EAG information of the links is sourced from the
underlying extensions as defined in [RFC7308]. The BGP-LS speaker
may also advertise the EAG information for the local links of a node
when not running any link-state IGP protocol e.g. when running BGP as
the only routing protocol.
BGP-LS attribute defined in [RFC7752] has nested TLVs which allow the EAG of a link is encoded in a new Link Attribute TLV [RFC7752] using
BGP-LS attribute to be readily extended. Link attribute TLVs defined the following format:
in section 3.2.2 of [I-D.ietf-idr-ls-distribution]are TLVs that may
be encoded in the BGP-LS attribute with a link NLRI. Each 'Link
Attribute' is a Type/Length/ Value (TLV) triplet formatted as defined
in Section 3.1 of [I-D.ietf-idr-ls-distribution].
This document proposes one new TLV as a link attribute: 0 1 2 3

3.1. AG and EAG coexistence The EAG TLV is an optional TLV. The existing AG TLV 108 and the EAG
TLV introduced in this document MAY be advertised together. The
semantics of the EAG and the backward compatibility aspects of EAG
with respect to the AG are handled as described in the Backward
Compatibility section of [RFC7308].

both AG and EAG then AG and EAG should be dealt with in the same way
as AG and EAG carried in the Extended Administrative Group (EAG) sub-

3.2. Desire for unadvertised EAG bits This document requests assigning code-point from the registry "BGP-LS

TLVs" based on table below. Early allocation for these code-points
have been done by IANA.
