The BGP-LS extension to be obsoleted allows IGP (OSPF/IS-IS) link state database information to be injected into BGP. This is typically used in deployments where some external component, (like a controller or Path Computation Engine) can do centralized path computations by learning the entire IGP topology through BGP-LS. The controller can then communicate the computed paths based on the BGP-LS updates to the head end device in the network.

The Segment security feature provides the convenience of applying policies on segments rather than interfaces or subnets. Hosts/networks are classified into segments based on prefixes. Grouping prefixes into segments allows for definition of policies that govern flow of traffic between segments. Policies define inter-segment or intra-segment communication rules, e.g. segment A can communicate with segment B but hosts in segment B can not communicate with each other.
