BGP-LS
● Border Gateway Protocol with Link State Distribution extension
(BGP LS), flow specification and its extension to support route
policy distribution as a southbound plug-in in ONOS controller.
● Link State Distribution extension: Collects the topology information
of the network. This network topology can be used by some
applications like PCE
● Flow specification: Propagate filtering rules to mitigate
attack(DDOS) scenario.
● Route policy distribution: Distribute route to modify the routes
based on routing policy.
