Title : IPv6 Segment Routing Header (SRH) Security Considerations Authors : Eric Vyncke Stefano Previdi Brian Field Ida Leung Filename : draft-vyncke-6man-segment-routing-security-00.txt Pages : 11 Date : 2014-07-03 Abstract: Segment Routing (SR) allows a node to steer a packet through a controlled set of instructions, called segments, by prepending a SR header to the packet. A segment can represent any instruction, topological or service-based. SR allows to enforce a flow through any path (topological, or application/service based) while maintaining per-flow state only at the ingress node to the SR domain. Segment Routing can be applied to the IPv6 data plane with the addition of a new type of Routing Extension Header. This draft analyses the security aspects the Segment Routing Extension Header Type and how it is used by SR capable nodes to deliver a secure service.
