It is intended to be deployed in discrete sites that may be data centers, access networks, or other networks that are under the control of a single operator and that can easily be upgraded to support this new technology. Traffic originating in one SR site often terminates in another SR site, but must transit a backbone network that provides interconnection between those sites. This document describes a mechanism for providing connectivity between SR sites to enable end-to-end or site-to-site traffic engineering. The approach described allows connectivity between SR sites, utilizes traffic engineering mechanisms (such as RSVP-TE or Segment Routing) across the backbone network, makes heavy use of pre-existing technologies, and requires the specification of very few additional mechanisms. This document provides some background and a problem statement, explains the solution mechanism, gives references to other documents that define protocol mechanisms, and provides examples. It does not define any new protocol mechanisms.}, }
