Abstract
SRv6+ encodes Per-Segment Service Instructions (PSSI) in a new IPv6
option, called the PSSI Option. This document describes the PSSI
Option.

1. Introduction
An SRv6+ [I-D.bonica-spring-srv6-plus] path provides unidirectional
connectivity from its ingress node to its egress node. While an
SRv6+ path can follow the least cost path from ingress to egress, it
can also follow any other path.
An SRv6+ path contains one or more segments. A segment provides
unidirectional connectivity from its ingress node to its egress node.
SRv6+ paths are programmable. They support several instruction
types, including Per-Segment Service Instructions (PSSI). The
following are examples of PSSIs:
o Expose a packet to a firewall policy.
o Expose a packet to a sampling policy.
PSSIs are executed at segment egress nodes and can be used to
implement limited service chains. However, they do not provide an
alternative to the Network Service Header (NSH) [RFC8300].
