Abstract:
Segment Routing (SR) enables any node to select any path (explicit or
derived from IGPs SPT computations) for each of its traffic classes.
The path does not depend on a hop-by-hop signaling technique (neither
LDP nor RSVP). It only depends on a set of "segments" that are
advertised by the IS-IS routing protocol. These segments act as
topological sub-paths that can be combined together to form the
desired path.
There are two forms of segments: node and adjacency. A node segment
represents a path to a node. An adjacency segment represents a
specific adjacency to a node. A node segment is typically a multi-
hop path while an adjacency segment is a one-hop path. SR's control-
plane can be applied to IPv6 and MPLS dataplanes.
Segment Routing control-plane can be applied to the MPLS dataplane: a
node segment to node N is instantiated in the MPLS dataplane as an
LSP along the shortest-path (SPT) to the node. An adjacency segment
is instantiated in the MPLS dataplane as a cross-connect entry
pointing to a specific egress datalink.
This document describes the Segment Routing functions, a set of use
cases it addresses and the necessary changes that are required in the
IS-IS protocol.
