Network Programming extension: SRv6 uSID instruction
draft-filsfils-spring-net-pgm-extension-srv6-usid-04
Abstract
The SRv6 "micro segment" (SRv6 uSID or uSID for short) instruction is
a straightforward extension of the SRv6 Network Programming model:
o The SRv6 Control Plane is leveraged without any change
o The SRH dataplane encapsulation is leveraged without any change
o Any SID in the SID list can carry micro segments
This enables:
o ultra-scale (e.g. multi-domain 5G deployments)
o minimum MTU overhead
o installed-base reuse

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
