Hi, Ketan:

There is one two-bytes “Reserved” field in “Adjacency Segment Identifier” TLV 
for OSPF extension, but this field doesn’t exist in the corresponding TLV for 
ISIS extension. Every other fields are same. 
Corresponding definition in BGP-LS is similar with OSPF(not similar with ISIS 
as I mentioned in previous mail). Then when the router reports/redistributes 
the ISIS LSDB information to BGP protocol, the router must add two bytes to the 
“length” field and add/stuff the “reserved” field; but for OSPF LSDB, the 
router need only copy the corresponding fields according.
We have found the error arises from this inconsistency from the real router and 
think it is better to align this definition in different IGP protocol.

Update to ISIS related extensions draft may be easier.
