How to Configure Flexible Algorithms in OSPF for Segment Routing Traffic Engineering
A flexible algorithm allows IGPs alone to compute constraint based paths over the network thereby providing simple traffic engineering without using a network controller. This is a light weight solution for networks that have not implemented a controller with full fledged segment routing but still want to reap the benefits of segment routing in their network.
What's Next
For more information on configuring flexible algorithms, see the OSPF User Guide
Understanding OSPF Flexible Algorithm for Segment Routing
Starting in Junos OS Release 21.1R1, you can thin slice a network by defining flexible algorithms that compute paths using different parameters and link constraints based on your requirements. For example, you can define a flexible algorithm that computes a path to minimize IGP metric and define another flexible algorithm to compute a path based on traffic engineering metric to divide the network into separate planes. This feature allows networks without a controller to configure traffic engineering using segment routing without actually implementing a network controller. You can use the prefix SIDs to steer packets along the constraint-based paths. You can configure the prefix SIDs for flexible algorithm through policy configurations.
IGP protocols use a link metric to calculate a best path. However, the best IGP path might not always be the best path for certain types of traffic. Therefore, the IGP computed best path based on the shortest IGP metric is often replaced with traffic engineered path due to the traffic requirements that are not reflected by the IGP metric. Typically RSVP-TE or SR TE is used for computing the path based on additional metrics and constraints to overcome this limitation. Junos installs such paths in the forwarding tables in addition to or as a replacement for the original path computed by the IGPs.

-
Compute TI-LFA backup path using the same flexible algorithm definition and constraints computation.
-
Take advantage of segment routing traffic engineering using only OSPFv2 without configuring RSVP or LDP.
-
Ability to provision constrained primary path based on a single label.
What is Flexible Algorithm Definition (FAD)?
A flexible algorithm allows IGP to calculate additional best paths based on specified constraints thereby providing simple traffic engineering without using a network controller. This is a lightweight solution for networks that have not implemented a controller with full fledged segment routing but still want to reap the benefits of segment routing in their network. Every operator can define separate constraints or colors depending on their requirements.
To define a flexible algorithm, include flex-algorithm
id statement at the [edit routing-options]
hierarchy level. The flexible algorithm definition (FAD) is assigned with an identifier
ranging from 128 through 255. This flexible algorithm can be defined on one or more routers
in a network. A flexible algorithm computes a best path based on the following
parameters:
-
Calculation type—SPF or strict SPF are the two available calculation type options. You can specify one of these calculation types in your FAD. Select the SPF calculation type if you want to influence the SPF computation on your device based on a certain local policy such as traffic engineering shortcuts. If you select strict SPF then the local policy cannot influence the SPF path selection.
-
Metric type- IGP metric or TE metric are the available metric type options. You can specify one of these metric types in your FAD depending on your network requirement. If you do not want to use the IGP metric for a specific link you can configure a TE metric that OSPFv2 can use for calculating the route.
-
Priority- You can assign a priority to your FADs as per your requirement and OSPFv2 prioritizes a particular FAD advertisement over another FAD based on your assigned priority.
-
Set of Link constraints- You can configure admin-groups for many protocols at the
[edit protocols mpls admin-groups]hierarchy level to color an individual link. Theseadmin-groupscan then be defined asinclude any,include-allorexcludeat the[edit routing-options flex-algorithm definition admin-groups]hierarchy level.
We recommend configuring flexible algorithm on only a few routers to provide redundancy and
to avoid conflicts. Flexible algorithm definition is advertised in IGP as FAD
sub-TLVs. In very large networks, we do not recommend configuring more than 8
flexible algorithm definitions as each flexible algorithm will compute its own path and
might cause performance issues beyond that.
The default FAD has the following parameters:
-
calculation type: spf
-
metric type: igp-metric
-
priority: 0
-
Link constraints: none
Modifying the flexible algorithm definition in a live network or on the fly could cause traffic disruptions until all the nodes converge on the new paths.
Starting in Junos OS 21.4R1, we support flexible Algorithm Definition (FAD)” and “Flexible Algorithm Prefix Metric (FAPM)” in TED and implements two new corresponding TLVs "FAD TLV" and "FAPM TLV" in BGP-LS. The value of FAD TLV contains Flex-Algorithm, Metric-Type, Calculation-Type and Priority, all of which are one byte each. The TLV might have zero or more sub-TLVs included in it. The five sub-tlvs are Flex Algo Exclude Any Affinity, Flex Algo Include Any Affinity, Flex Algo Include All Affinity, Flex Algo Definition Flags and Flex Algo Exclude SRLG.
The FAD TLV can only be added to the BGP-LS Attribute of the Node NLRI if the corresponding node originates in the underlying IGP TLV or sub-TLV. The BGP-LS Attribute associated with a Node NLRI might include one or more FAD TLVs corresponding to the Flexible Algorithm Definition for each algorithm that the node is advertising.
The value of FAPM TLV contains Flex-Algorithm (1 byte), Reserved (3 bytes) and Metric (4 bytes). The FAPM TLV can be added to the BGP-LS Attribute of the Prefix NLRI originated by a node, only if the corresponding node originates from the Prefix.
Starting in Junos OS Release 22.4R1, we've defined the Flexible Algorithm Prefix Metric (FAPM) to allow optimal end-to-end path for an interarea prefix. The area border router (ABR) must include the FAPM when advertising the prefix between areas that is reachable in that given Flexible Algorithm (flex algo). When a prefix is unreachable, the ABR must not include that prefix in that flex algo when advertising between areas. The defined FAPM provides inter-area support.
Participation in a Flexible Algorithm
You can configure specific routers to participate in a particular flexible algorithm as per your requirement. Paths computed based on a flexible algorithm definition is used by various applications each potentially using its own specific data plane for forwarding the data over such paths. The participating device must explicitly advertise its participation in a particular flexible algorithm to every application in the segment routing flexible algorithm sub TLV for OSPFv2. You can configure a node to participate in a certain flexible algorithm provided it can support the constraints specified in that FAD.
To configure participation in a flexible algorithm include the
flex-algorithm statement at the [edit protocols isis
source-packet- routing] hierarchy level. The same device can advertise a FAD and
also participate in a flexible algorithm.
Network Topology Configured with Flexible Algorithm Definitions
Figure 1 shows the sample topology, there are 8 routers R0, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6, and R7. Four flexible algorithms, 128, 129, 130, and 135 are defined and configured with admin-groups as listed in the following table:
|
Flex Algorithm Definition (FAD) |
Color |
|---|---|
|
128 |
Include any Red |
|
129 |
Include any Green |
|
130 |
Include any Green and Blue |
|
135 |
Exclude Red |
Figure 2 shows how FAD 128 routes traffic on any interface that is configured with admin group red.
Figure 3 shows how FAD 129 routes traffic on any interface that is configured with admin group green.
Figure 4 shows how FAD 130 routes traffic on any interface that is configured with admin group green and blue.
Figure 5 shows how FAD 135 routes traffic on any interface that is not configured with admin group red.
Flexible Algorithm RIBs
For every flexible algorithm that a router participates in the corresponding flexible
algorithm routes are installed in the corresponding flexible algorithm RIB groups also known
as routing tables. By default, labeled OSPFv2 flexible algorithm routes are installed in the
inet.color, inet(6)color.0 and mpls.0 RIBs.
BGP Community and Flexible Algorithms
A flexible algorithm can have an associated BGP color community to resolve routes of other
services such as VPN service. By default, the associated BGP color community is the same as
the flexible algorithm ID. The flexible algorithm ingress routes that are installed in the
inet(6)color.0 tables will have this color community in the route. However, you can
configure a different BGP color community at the [edit routing-options
flex-algorithm id color desired color community
value] hierarchy level.
Changing the BGP color community for a flexible algorithm might result in traffic disruption. If you modify a BGP color community for a flexible algorithm then all routes pertaining to that flexible algorithm are removed from the RIB and added again with new colors.
Supported and Unsupported Features
Junos OS supports flexible algorithms in the following scenarios:
-
Support for configuring and advertising prefix SIDs for different flexible algorithms.
-
Partially supports Internet Draft draft-ietf-lsr-flex-algo-05.txt IGP Flexible Algorithm
- The current implementation for flexible algorithms is supported for only OSPFv2 only as only OSPFv2 supports segment routing.
Junos OS does not support the following features in conjunction with flexible algorithms:
-
Link delay metric is not supported.
-
Flexible algorithm is applicable only for default unicast topology, OSPFv2 multi-topology is not supported.
- OSPFv2 shortcuts and other OSPFv2 traffic engineering configuration options are not applicable for flexible algorithm computation. .
- The current implementation for flexible algorithms is not supported for OSPFv3.
-
Inter-area (OSPFv2) leaking of flexible algorithm prefix SIDs is not supported.
-
Prefix and SID conflict resolution is not supported.
-
Remote loop free alternate functionality is not supported because TI-LFA is the preferred FRR computation.
-
Advertising flexible algorithm definition in the absence of flexible algorithm participation is not supported.
-
Advertisement of link attributes for flex algorithm using the application-specific link attribute advertisements is not supported.
-
Transport class RIB is not supported.
Application-specific Link Attribute based flexible algorithm
Starting in Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved Release 22.2R1, you can advertise different te-attributes such as te-metric, delay-metric, or admin-groups for RSVP and flexible algorithms on the same link. This is done using flexible algorithm specific application-specific link attribute as defined in RFC 8920.
The advantage of having a flexible algorithm application-specific link attribute advertise te-metric, delay-metric, or admin-groups is that a single link can advertise different te-link-attributes for legacy applications such as RSVP and different te-link-attributes for flexible algorithms.
To configure flexible algorithm application-specific te-attribute, include the
application-specific statement at the [edit protocols ospf area
interface] hierarchy level and the
strict-asla-based-flex-algorithm statement at the [edit protocols
ospf source-packet-routing] hierarchy level. With this implementation, it is no
longer mandatory for the link to have RSVP enabled and [edit protocols ospf
traffic-engineering advertisement always] to be configured which is the case with
the existing behavior of advertising traffic engineering attributes.
The Junos OS and Junos OS Evolved implementation of application-specific link attribute supports flexible algorithm applications only.
Strict Application-Specific Link Attribute based flexible algorithm
The default behavior of application-specific flexible algorithm is to use the flexible algorithm application-specific te-attributes for a link if available, and if not, then fall back to the common application-specific te-attributes, and if neither are available, use the legacy te-attributes.
The configuration statement strict-asla-based-flex-algorithm at the
[edit protocols ospf source-packet-routing] has to be applied to all the
flexible algorithms running on the devices in the network to avoid routing loops.
If strict-asla-based-flex-algorithm is configured on all the devices,
either a common application-specific te-attribute or flexible algorithm application-specific
te-attribute must be advertised for each flexible algorithm link. In the absence of
application-specific te-attributes, the device does not fall back to the legacy
te-attributes and simply ignores the link.
The Operating System supports the following features in conjunction with application-specific link attribute based flexible algorithm:
-
The application-specific te-attribute subTLV to comply with RFC 8920. The application-specific te-attributes sub-TLV is a sub-TLV of the OSPFv2 extended link TLV as defined in RFC 7684.
-
Partially supports standard application identifier bit mask to advertise X-bit for flexible algorithms. Only the te-metric, delay-metric, or admin-groups are advertised as part of the application-specific link attribute sub-TLV.
The Operating System does not support the following features in conjunction with application-specific link attribute based flexible algorithm:
- Advertising user-defined application identifier bit masks is not supported.
- Readvertising flexible algorithm application-specific link attribute or rather any application-specific link attributes with BGP-LS is not supported because Traffic Engineering Database (TED) does not support application-specific link attribute.
-
Advertising a common application-specific link attribute with standard application identifier bit mask and user-defined application identifier bit masks length set to zero is not supported.
-
Advertising SRLG link constraint in flexible algorithm is not supported.
-
Supporting traffic engineering for multiple applications is not supported, except for flexible algorithms.
-
Defining admin-groups independent of MPLS is not supported.

Overview
This example shows how to configure flexible algorithm in an OSPFv2 network. The flexible algorithm allows networks without a controller to configure traffic engineering using segment routing without actually implementing a network controller.
Starting in Junos OS Release 21.1R1, you can thin-slice a network by defining flexible algorithms that compute paths using different parameters and link constraints based on your requirements. The set consisting of calculation-type, metric-type, and a set of constraints is referred to as a flexible algorithm definition (FAD). You can define FADs and advertise the same in an OSPFv2 network. A device can also be configured to participate in a certain flexible algorithm provided it supports the constraints for that specific FAD.
Topology
Figure 6 shows a flexible algorithm topology in which there are 6 devices R0, R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5. Two flexible algorithms 128 and 129 are defined on each of these devices. The admin-groups red, blue, and green are configured on the devices. The FADs with different parameters such as metric-types, calculation-types, and link constraints are defined on each of the devices.
Requirements
This example uses the following hardware and software components:
- Six MX Series routers.
- Junos OS Release 21.1R1 or later running on all devices.
