RFC9815 - BGP Link State (BGP-LS) Shortest Path First (SPF) Routing

Many Massively Scaled Data Centers (MSDCs) have converged on simplified Layer 3 (L3) routing. Furthermore, requirements for operational simplicity have led many of these MSDCs to converge on BGP as their single routing protocol for both fabric routing and Data Center Interconnect (DCI) routing. This document describes extensions to BGP for use with BGP Link State (BGP-LS) distribution and the Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm. In doing this, it allows BGP to be efficiently used as both the underlay protocol and the overlay protocol in MSDCs.

RFC9816 - Usage and Applicability of BGP Link State (BGP-LS) Shortest Path First (SPF) Routing in Data Centers

This document discusses the usage and applicability of BGP Link State (BGP-LS) Shortest Path First (SPF) extensions in data center networks utilizing Clos or Fat Tree topologies. The document is intended to provide simplified guidance for the deployment of BGP-LS SPF extensions.
