Abstract

IETF network slices can be used to meet the connectivity and performance requirements of different services or customers in a shared network. An IETF network slice can be realized by mapping a set of connectivity constructs to a network resource partition (NRP). In some network scenarios, an end-to-end IETF network slice may span multiple network domains. Within each domain, traffic of the end-to- end network slice service is mapped to an intra-domain NRP. When segment routing (SR) is used to provide multi-domain IETF network slices, information of the intra-domain NRP can be specified using special SR binding segments which are called NRP binding segments (NRP BSID). Then a multi-domain IETF network slice can be specified using a list of NRP BSIDs in the packet, each of which is used by the corresponding domain edge nodes to steer the traffic of the end-to-end IETF network slice into the specific intra-domain NRP. This document describes the functionality of the NRP binding segment and its instantiation in SR-MPLS and SRv6 data planes.
