1.  Introduction

   [S-BFD]

   [RFC7880] defines a simplified mechanism to use for using Bidirectional
   Forwarding Detection (BFD)[RFC5880]. (BFD) [RFC5880].  This mechanism depends on
   network nodes knowing the BFD discriminators which Discriminators that each node in the
   network has reserved for this purpose.  Use  The use of the Intermediate
   System to Intermediate System (IS-IS)[IS-IS] (IS-IS) [IS-IS] protocol is one
   possible means of advertising these discriminators.

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].

2.  Encoding Format

   The IS-IS Router CAPABILITY TLV as defined in [RFC4971] will be used
   to advertise S-BFD discriminators. Seamless BFD (S-BFD) Discriminators.  A new sub-TLV is
   defined as described below.  S-BFD Discriminators sub-TLVs are
   formatted as specified in [RFC5305].

                                                  No. of octets
                 +-----------------------------+
                 | Type (to be assigned by (20)                   |     1
                 | IANA - suggested value 20)  |
                 +-----------------------------+
                 | Length (multiple of 4)      |     1
                 +-----------------------------+
                 | Discriminator Value(s)      |     4/Discriminator
                 :                             :
                 +-----------------------------+

   Inclusion

   The inclusion of the an S-BFD Discriminators sub-TLV in a Router Capability
   CAPABILITY TLV is optional.  Multiple S-BFD Discriminators sub-TLVs
   MAY be advertised by an IS.  When multiple S-BFD discriminators are
   advertised how  How a given discriminator is mapped to a
   specific use case when multiple S-BFD Discriminators are advertised
   is out of scope for this document.

   S-BFD discriminator Discriminator advertisements MAY be flooded within an area or
   throughout the domain domain, using the procedures specified in [RFC4971].
   The appropriate flooding scope depends on the intended use of S-BFD.
   If S-BFD use usage will be exclusively within a Level-1 area area, then area
   scope is appropriate.  If S-BFD usage will span different L1 areas Level-1
   areas, then domain scope is appropriate.

3.  IANA Considerations

   This document requires the definition of

   IANA has added a new sub-TLV in the Sub-
   TLVs "Sub-TLVs for TLV 242 242" registry.
   The value written below registration is a suggested
   value subject to assignment by IANA. as follows:

      Value  Description
    ----  ---------------------
      -----  --------------------
      20     S-BFD Discriminators

4.  Security Considerations

   Security concerns for IS-IS are addressed in [IS-IS], [RFC5304], and
   [RFC5310].  Introduction of the  The new S-BFD Discriminators sub-TLV
   introduces no does not introduce
   any new security risks for IS-IS.

   Advertisement of

   Advertising the S-BFD discriminators does make Discriminators makes it possible for attackers
   to initiate S-BFD sessions using the advertised information.  The
   vulnerabilities this poses and how to mitigate them are discussed in the Security Considerations section of [S-BFD].
