Abstract

An SR Policy comprises one or more candidate paths (CP) of which at a given time one and only one may be active (i.e., installed in forwarding and usable for steering of traffic). Each CP in turn may have one or more SID-List of which one or more may be active; when multiple SID-List are active then traffic is load balanced over them. However, a candidate path is valid when at least one SID-List is active. This candidate path validity criterion cannot meet the needs of some scenarios. This document defines the new candidate path validity criterion.
