Abstract Abstract
Administrative groups are link attributes (commonly referred to as Administrative groups are link attributes (commonly referred to as
"colors" or "link colors") advertised by link state protocols (e.g. "colors" or "link colors") advertised by link state protocols (e.g.
ISIS or OSPF) and used for traffic engineering. These administrative ISIS or OSPF) and used for traffic engineering. These administrative
groups were initially defined as 32 bit masks. As network usage groups were initially defined as 32 bit masks. As network usage
grew, these 32 bit masks were found to constrain traffic engineering. grew, these 32 bit masks were found to constrain traffic engineering.
Therefore, link state protocols (ISIS, OSPF) were expanded to Therefore, link state protocols (ISIS, OSPF) were expanded to

defines an extension to BGP-LS for advertisement of extended
administrative groups (EAGs) to allow to support a number of
administrative groups greater than 32, as defined in [RFC7308].

Administrative groups (commonly referred to as "colors" or "link Administrative groups (commonly referred to as "colors" or "link
colors") are link attributes that are advertised by link state colors") are link attributes that are advertised by link state
protocols like IS-IS [RFC5305], OSPFv2 [RFC3630] and OSPFv3 [RFC5329] protocols like IS-IS [RFC5305], OSPFv2 [RFC3630] and OSPFv3 [RFC5329]
for traffic engineering use-cases. The BGP-LS advertisement is for traffic engineering use-cases. The BGP-LS advertisement of the

using the Administrative Group (color) TLV 1088 as defined in
[RFC7752]. [RFC7752].
These administrative groups are defined as a fixed-length 32-bit These administrative groups are defined as a fixed-length 32-bit
bitmask. As networks grew and more use-cases were introduced, the bitmask. As networks grew and more use-cases were introduced, the
32-bit length was found to be constraining and hence extended 32-bit length was found to be constraining and hence extended
