Segment routing provides a means by which the data- plane of an IP/MPLS network can be programmed to support such "performance engineered" paths. This document describes an architecture for the use of such performance engineered label switched paths, and the control-plane functionality required to allow both distributed and centralised computation of acceptable forwarding paths.}, }
