The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Segment Routing Architecture' (draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing-15.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Source Packet Routing in Networking Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Martin Vigoureux and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing/ Technical Summary Segment Routing (SR) leverages the source routing paradigm. A node steers a packet through an ordered list of instructions, called segments. A segment can represent any instruction, topological or service-based. A segment can have a semantic local to an SR node or global within an SR domain. SR allows to enforce a flow through any topological path while maintaining per-flow state only at the ingress nodes to the SR domain. Working Group Summary This is the main document that is coming out of the WG -- support has been strong throughout. Document Quality Several commercial implementations and deployments of the SPRING architecture exist. Personnel Martin Vigoureux is the Document Shepherd Alvaro Retana is the Responsible Area Director
