Abstract
With Segment Routing (SR) architecture, a unicast flow can be source- routed through an SR network following an explicit path specified in the packet, w/o the need for per-flow state in the network. As a result, the otherwise needed protocols to signal the per-flow unicast state can also be removed from the network. In the case of multicast, traffic can be either source-routed or non-source-routed, and this document discusses non-sourced-routed options for multicast in an SR network with either MPLS or IPv6/SRv6 data plane.
