	 <t>   Segment Routing (SR) can be used to steer packets through an IPv6 or
   MPLS network using the source routing paradigm.  SR enables any head-
   end node to select any path without relying on a hop-by-hop signaling
   technique (e.g., LDP or RSVP-TE).

   A Segment Routed Path can be derived from a variety of mechanisms,
   including an IGP Shortest Path Tree (SPT), explicit configuration, or
   a PCE.

   Since SR can be applied to both MPLS and IPv6 forwarding planes, a
   PCE should be able to compute SR-Path for both MPLS and IPv6
   forwarding planes.  The PCEP extension and mechanisms to support SR-
   MPLS have been defined.  This document describes the extensions
   required for SR support for IPv6 data plane in the Path Computation
   Element communication Protocol (PCEP).
