+BGP Link-State
+==============
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+BGP Link-State (BGP-LS) is an extension of the BGP protocol designed to
+redistribute information from an IGP database to a remote controller (most
+likely a Path Computation Element - PCE). BGP-LS does nothing more than
+transport IGP information. Therefore, it cannot be used to replace a Link State
+routing protocol like OSPF and IS-IS.
+
+Historically, the only way to get a network controller to collect an IGP
+database was to have it participate in the IGP itself as if it were a standard
+router. Since the controllers were usually located far from the IGP area,
+tunnels such as GRE were used to connect the controllers to the IGP area. This
+method was so impractical that an alternative solution was imagined: using the
+already deployed inter-domain BGP protocol to redistribute the various IGP
+databases.
+
+BGP Link-State as defined in `RFC7752
+<https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7752.html>`_ uses the AFI 16388 and SAFI 71.
+The BGP Link-State pseudo-prefixes distributed by the `NLRI (Network Layer
+Reachability Information)` uniquely define the following
+IGP information:
+
+- Nodes
+- Link
+- IPv4 Prefix
+- IPv6 Prefix
+
+They are called descriptors. In addition, a new type of BGP Attributes called
+"BGP-LS attributes" carries the other information related to a descriptor.
+
+NLRI and attribute information for BGP-LS is organized using the TLV format
+already used by IS-IS LSPs and OSPF opaque LSAs. The `list of TLV code points
+<https://www.iana.org/assignments/bgp-ls-parameters/bgp-ls-parameters.xhtml#node-descriptor-link-descriptor-prefix-descriptor-attribute-tlv>`_
+is maintained by IANA.
+
+Current implementation
+----------------------
+
+The current version can participate in BGP Link-State AFI / SAFI with
+third-party routers and forward the BGP Link-State descriptors and attributes to
+other routers. However, it can not generate BGP Link-State data from OSPF and
+IS-IS.
+
+IANA maintains a `registry of BGP-LS NRLI descriptor types
+<https://www.iana.org/assignments/bgp-ls-parameters/bgp-ls-parameters.xhtml#nlri-types>`_.
+Only the following RFC7752 NRLI types are supported by the current version:
+
+- Nodes
+- Link
+- IPv4 Prefix
+- IPv6 Prefix
+
+The BGP-LS attribute TLVs for these NLRI types are transmitted as is to other
+routers which means that all the current and future version are already
+supported.
