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 provides a mechanism that allows a flow to be restricted to a specific topological path, while maintaining per-flow state only at the ingress node(s) to the SR domain.
SR can be applied to the IPv6 architecture, with a new type of routing header, called Segment Routing Header(SRH). A segment is encoded as an IPv6 address. An ordered list of segments is encoded as an ordered list of IPv6 addresses in the routing header. The active segment is indicated by the Destination Address (DA) of the packet. The next active segment is indicated by a pointer in the new routing header.
