      <abstract>
	 <t>   Segment Routing Traffic Engineering (SR-TE) supports the creation of
   explicit paths using segment lists containing adjacency-SIDs, node-
   SIDs, anycast-SIDs, and binding-SIDs.  When the segment list defining
   an SR-TE path contains a node-SID, and the node fails, the network
   may no longer be able to properly forward traffic on that SR-TE path.
   [I-D.ietf-rtgwg-segment-routing-ti-lfa] and
   [I-D.hegde-spring-node-protection-for-sr-te-paths] describe a
   mechanism that allows local repair actions on the direct neighbors of
   the failed node to temporarily route traffic to the node immediately
   following the failed node on the SR-TE path segment list.  However,
   once the IGP shortest paths have converged, the local repair
   mechanism is no longer sufficient to continue forwarding traffic
   using the original segment list of the SR-TE path, since the non-
   neighbors of the failed node will no longer have a route to reach the
   failed node.  This document describes a mechanism that allows traffic
   to continue to be forwarded on an SR-TE path for an extended period
   of time after the failure of a node used in the path&#x27;s segment list.
