Abstract:
The ability for a node to specify a forwarding path, other than the
normal shortest path, that a particular packet will traverse,
benefits a number of network functions. Source-based routing
mechanisms have previously been specified for network protocols, but
have not seen widespread adoption. In this context, the term
'source' means 'the point at which the explicit route is imposed' and
therefore it is not limited to the originator of the packet (i.e.:
the node imposing the explicit route may be the ingress node of an
operator's network).
This document outlines various use cases, with their requirements,
that need to be taken into account by the Source Packet Routing in
Networking (SPRING) architecture for unicast traffic. Multicast use-
cases and requirements are out of scope of this document.
