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
advertise a variable length administrative group.This document advertise a variable length administrative group.This document
