Abstract:
   Service functions are deployed as, physical or virtualized elements
   along with network nodes or on servers in data centers.  Segment
   Routing (SR) brings in the concept of segments which can be
   topological or service instructions.  Service segments are SR
   segments that are associated with service functions.  SR Policies are
   used for the setup of paths for steering of traffic through service
   functions using their service segments.

   BGP Link-State (BGP-LS) enables distribution of topology information
   from the network to a controller or an application in general so it
   can learn the network topology.  This document specifies the
   extensions to BGP-LS for the advertisement of service functions along
   their associated service segments.  The BGP-LS advertisement of
   service function information along with the network nodes that they
   are attached to, or associated with, enables controllers compute and
   setup service paths in the network.
