Table 1 lists the TE attributes that are advertised using the legacy link TE TLVs defined in RFC 5305 for IS-IS and in RFC 3630 for OSPF. These TE attributes are carried in BGP-LS as recommended in RFC 7752. These legacy TLVs are already supported in SR OS and in IS-IS, OSPF and BGP-LS.
To support IPv6 Traffic Engineering, the IS-IS IPv6 TE attributes (IPv6 TE Router ID and IPv6 SRLG TLV) are advertised in BGP-LS as recommended in RFC 7752.
All the above attributes can now be advertised within the ASLA TLV in IS-IS as recommended in draft-ietf-isis-te-app and in BGP-LS as recommended in draft-ietf-idr-bgp-ls-app-specific-attr. In the latter case, BGP-LS uses the same TLV type as in RFC 7752 but is included as a sub-TLV of the new BGP-LS ASLA TLV. Table 1 lists the code points for IS-IS and BGP-LS TLVs.

Table 2 lists the TE attributes that are received from a third-party router implementation in legacy TE TLVs, or in the ASLA TLV for the RSVP-TE or SR-TE applications that are added into the local SR OSTE-DB; these are also distributed by the BGP-LS originator. However, these TLVs are not originated by a SR OS router IGP implementation.

Any other TE attribute received in a legacy TE TLV or in an Application Specific Link Attributes TLV is not added to the local router TE-DB and therefore, not distributed by the BGP-LS originator.
