Abstract
A device receives a traffic fencing (TF) function for a network, and provides a TF attribute, based on the received TF function, over a link of the network to enable activation of a TF rule of a link state routing (LSR) algorithm used by the network to implement the TF function for the network.

2-25. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a network device, a traffic fencing function for a network, the traffic fencing function relating traffic directed to or from a portion of the network;
- and
- providing, by the network device and based on the received traffic fencing function, an attribute to another network device in the network, to enable activation of a rule of a link state routing algorithm used by the other network device, the attribute allowing the other network device to implement the traffic fencing function.
A network device:
- a memory to store instructions;
- and
- a processor to implement the instructions to:
- receive a traffic fencing function for a network, the traffic fencing function relating to a portion of the network, and
- provide, in response to receiving traffic fencing function, an attribute to another network device in the network, to enable activation of a rule of a link state routing algorithm used by the other network device, the attribute allowing the other network device to implement the traffic fencing function.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a network device to:
- receive an attribute to enable activation of a rule of a link state routing algorithm, and
- activate the rule, in response to receiving the attribute, to implement a traffic fencing function for a link at the network device.
