A sub-set of segments from the segment list cannot be leveraged to distinguish one SR path from another as they may be partially congruent. SR path identification is a pre-requisite for various use-cases such as Performance Measurement, and end-to-end 1+1 path protection. In SR for MPLS data plane (SR-MPLS), an Egress node cannot determine on which SR path a packet traversed the network from the label stack because the segment identifiers are removed from the label stack as the packet transits the network. This document defines Path Segment Identifier(PSID) to identify an SR path on the egress node of the path.}, }
