10. Calculation of Flexible Algorithm Paths

Three new rules are added to the existing rules specified in sec 13 of [RFC9350].¶

6. Check if any exclude reverse AG 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 from the reverse direction. If such a color is set on the link from the reverse direction, the link MUST be pruned from the computation.¶

7. Check if any include-any reverse AG 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 from the reverse direction. If no such color is set on the link from the reverse direction, the link MUST be pruned from the computation.¶

8. Check if any include-all reverse AG 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 from the reverse direction. If all such colors are not set on the link from the reverse direction, the link MUST be pruned from the computation.¶
