Value Name Description Reference
0 SPF Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm based on link metric. This is the standard shortest path algorithm as computed by the IGP protocol. Consistent with the deployed practice for link-state protocols, Algorithm 0 permits any node to overwrite the SPF path with a different path based on its local policy. [RFC 8665]
1 Strict SPF Strict Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm based on link metric. The algorithm is identical to Algorithm 0 but Algorithm 1 requires that all nodes along the path will honor the SPF routing decision. Local policy at the node claiming support for Algorithm 1 MUST NOT alter the SPF paths computed by Algorithm 1. [RFC 8665]

CSV
Sequence Number Description Reference
1 Check if any exclude Administrative Group rule is part of the Flex-Algorithm Definition. If such exclude rule exists, check if any color that is part of the exclude rule is also set on the link. If such a color is set, the link MUST be pruned from the computation. [RFC9350, Section 13]
2 Check if any exclude SRLG rule is part of the Flex-Algorithm Definition. If such exclude rule exists, check if the link is part of any SRLG that is also part of the SRLG exclude rule. If the link is part of such SRLG, the link MUST be pruned from the computation. [RFC9350, Section 13]
3 Check if any include-any Administrative Group rule is part of the Flex-Algorithm Definition. If such include-any rule exists, check if any color that is part of the include-any rule is also set on the link. If no such color is set, the link MUST be pruned from the computation. [RFC9350, Section 13]
4 Check if any include-all Administrative Group rule is part of the Flex-Algorithm Definition. If such include-all rule exists, check if all colors that are part of the include-all rule are also set on the link. If all such colors are not set on the link, the link MUST be pruned from the computation. [RFC9350, Section 13]
5 If the Flex-Algorithm Definition uses something other than the IGP metric (Section 5 of [RFC 9350]), and such metric is not advertised for the particular link in a topology for which the computation is done, such link MUST be pruned from the computation. A metric of value 0 MUST NOT be assumed in such a case. [RFC9350, Section 13]
6 Check if any exclude FAEMB rule is part of the Flex-Algorithm definition. If such exclude rule exists and the link has Maximum Link Bandwidth advertised, check if the link bandwidth satisfies the FAEMB rule. If the link does not satisfy the FAEMB rule, the link MUST be pruned from the Flex-Algorithm computation. [RFC9843, Section 6]
7 Check if any exclude FAEMD rule is part of the Flex-Algorithm definition. If such exclude rule exists and the link has Min Unidirectional link delay advertised, check if the link delay satisfies the FAEMD rule. If the link does not satisfy the FAEMD rule, the link MUST be pruned from the Flex-Algorithm computation. [RFC9843, Section 6]
8 Check if any exclude reverse Admin Group rule is part of the Flex-Algorithm definition. If such exclude rule exists, check if any Admin Group that is part of the exclude rule is also set on the link in the reverse direction. If such Admin Group is set on the link in the reverse direction, the link MUST be pruned from the computation. [RFC9917, Section 11]
9 Check if any include-any reverse Admin Group rule is part of the Flex-Algorithm definition. If such include-any rule exists, check if any Admin Group that is part of the include-any rule is also set on the link in the reverse direction. If no such Admin Group is set on the link in the reverse direction, the link MUST be pruned from the computation. [RFC9917, Section 11]
10 Check if any include-all reverse Admin Group rule is part of the Flex-Algorithm definition. If such include-all rule exists, check if all Admin Groups that are part of the include-all rule are also set on the link in the reverse direction. If all such Admin Groups are not set on the link in the reverse direction, the link MUST be pruned from the computation. [RFC9917, Section 11]
