Seamless Segment Routing
draft-hegde-spring-mpls-seamless-sr-04
Abstract
In order to operate networks with large numbers of devices, network
operators organize networks into multiple smaller network domains.
Each network domain typically runs an IGP which has complete
visibility within its own domain, but limited visibility outside of
its domain. Seamless Segment Routing (Seamless SR) provides
flexible, scalable and reliable end-to-end connectivity for services
across independent network domains. Seamless SR accommodates domains
using SR, LDP, and RSVP for MPLS label distribution as well as
domains running IP without MPLS (IP-Fabric).It also provides seamless
connectivity across domains having different IPv6 technologies such
as SRv6 and SRm6.
