RFC 8814: Signaling Maximum SID Depth (MSD) Using the Border Gateway Protocol - Link State
In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC
This document defines a way for a Border Gateway Protocol - Link State (BGP-LS) speaker to advertise multiple types of supported Maximum SID Depths (MSDs) at node and/or link granularity. Such advertisements allow entities (e.g., centralized controllers) to determine whether a particular Segment Identifier (SID) stack can be supported in a given network.
