    <section title="Introduction">
      <t>Segment Routing (SR) allows for a flexible definition of end-to-end
      paths within IGP topologies by encoding paths as sequences of
      topological sub-paths, called "segments". These segments are advertised
      by the link-state routing protocols (IS-IS and OSPF). Prefix segments
      represent an ecmp-aware shortest-path to a prefix (or a node), as per
      the state of the IGP topology. Adjacency segments represent a hop over a
      specific adjacency between two nodes in the IGP. A prefix segment is
      typically a multi-hop path while an adjacency segment, in most of the
      cases, is a one-hop path. SR's control-plane can be applied to both IPv6
      and MPLS data-planes, and does not require any additional signaling (other
      than the regular IGP). For example, when used in MPLS networks, SR paths
      do not require any LDP or RSVP-TE signaling. Still, SR can interoperate
      in the presence of LSPs established with RSVP or LDP.</t>

    <section anchor="SRCAP" title="Segment Routing Capabilities">
      <t>Segment Routing requires some additional capabilities of the router
      to be advertised to other routers in the area.</t>

      <t>These SR capabilities are advertised in OSPFv3 Router Information LSA 
      (defined in <xref target="RFC4970"/>).</t>

        <t>The SR-Algorithm TLV is optional. It MAY only be advertised once
        in the OSPFv3 Router Information LSA. If the SID/Label Range TLV, as
        defined in <xref target="SIDRANGE"/>, is advertised, then the SR-Algorithm TLV MUST
        also be advertised.</t>

        <t>An OSPFv3 router may use various algorithms when calculating reachability to
        other nodes in area or to prefixes attached to these nodes. Examples
        of these algorithms are metric based Shortest Path First (SPF),
        various sorts of Constrained SPF, etc. The SR-Algorithm TLV allows a
        router to advertise the algorithms that the router is currently using to other
        routers in an area. The SR-Algorithm TLV has following structure: <figure>

        <t>Initially, the only supported Sub-TLV is the SID/Label TLV as
        defined in <xref target="SIDLABEL"/>. The SID/Label advertised in
        the SID/Label TLV represents the first SID/Label in the advertised
        range.</t>
        
        <t>Multiple occurrence of the SID/Label Range TLV MAY be
        advertised, in order to advertise multiple ranges. In such case:<list
            style="symbols">

            <t>The originating router MUST encode each range into a different SID/Label 
            Range TLV. </t>
            
            <t>The originating router decides the order in which the set of SID/Label 
            Range TLVs are advertised in the OSPFv3 Router Information LSA. The 
            originating router MUST ensure the order is same after a graceful restart 
            (using checkpointing, non-volatile storage or any other mechanism) in order 
            to assure the SID/label range and SID index correspondence is preserved 
            across graceful restarts.</t>
            
            <t>The receiving router must adhere to the order in which the ranges are 
            advertised when calculating a SID/label from the SID index.</t>
            
            <t>A router not supporting multiple occurrences of the SID/Label Range TLV
            MUST use first advertised SID/Label Range TLV.</t>
          </list></t>

        <t>The following example illustrates the advertisement of multiple ranges:<figure
            suppress-title="true">
            <artwork>
   The originating router advertises the following ranges:
      Range 1: [100, 199]
      Range 2: [1000, 1099]
      Range 3: [500, 599]

   The receiving routers concatenate the ranges and build the Segment Routing Global Block
   (SRGB) is as follows:

   SRGB = [100, 199]
          [1000, 1099]
          [500, 599]

   The indexes span multiple ranges:

      index=0 means label 100
      ...
      index 99 means label 199
      index 100 means label 1000
      index 199 means label 1099
      ...
      index 200 means label 500
      ...

        <t>The RI LSA can be advertised at any of the defined flooding scopes
        (link, area, or autonomous system (AS)). For the purpose of the
        SR-Capability TLV propagation, area scope flooding is required.</t>

                is set to Prefix-SIDs corresponding to a router loopback address.
                The N-Flag is set when the Prefix-SID is a Node-SID as

        <t>When propagating Prefix-SIDs between areas, if multiple prefix-SIDs are 
        advertised for a prefix, an implementation SHOULD preserve the original order 
        when advertising prefix-SIDs to other areas. This allows implementations that only
        support a single Prefix-SID to have a consistent view across areas.</t>
        
        <t>When calculating the outgoing label for the prefix, the router MUST
        take into account E and P flags advertised by the next-hop router, if
        next-hop router advertised the SID for the prefix.  This MUST be done
        regardless of whether the next-hop router contributes to the best path to the
        prefix.</t>

        <t>The NP-Flag (No-PHP) MUST be set for Prefix-SIDs allocated to inter-
        area prefixes that are originated by the ABR based on intra-area or
        inter-area reachability between areas. When the inter-area prefix
        is generated based on a prefix which is directly attached to the
        ABR, NP-Flag SHOULD NOT be set</t>

        <t>The NP-Flag (No-PHP) MUST be set on the Prefix-SIDs allocated to
        redistributed prefixes, unless the redistributed prefix is directly
        attached to ASBR, in which case the NP-Flag SHOULD NOT be set.</t>
        
        <t>If the NP-Flag is not set then any upstream neighbor of the Prefix-SID
        originator MUST pop the Prefix-SID. This is equivalent to the penultimate
        hop popping mechanism used in the MPLS dataplane. In such case, MPLS EXP bits
        of the Prefix-SID are not preserved for the final destination (the Prefix-SID
        being removed). If the NP-Flag is clear then the received E-flag is ignored.</t>
        
        <t>If the NP-Flag is set then:<list style="hanging">
        
        <t> If the E-flag is not set then any upstream neighbor of the Prefix-SID 
        originator MUST keep the Prefix-SID on top of the stack.  This is useful when
        the originator of the Prefix-SID must stitch the incoming packet into a continuing
        MPLS LSP to the final destination. This could occur at an inter-area border router
        (prefix propagation from one area to another) or at an inter-domain border router 
        (prefix propagation from one domain to another).</t>
         
         <t>If the E-flag is set then any upstream neighbor of the Prefix-SID originator 
         MUST replace the Prefix-SID with a Prefix-SID having an Explicit-NULL value. This
         is useful, e.g., when the originator of the Prefix-SID is the final destination
         for the related prefix and the originator wishes to receive the packet with the 
         original EXP bits.</t>

        <t>When M-Flag is set, NP-Flag MUST be set and E-bit MUST NOT be set.</t>
        
        <t>When a Prefix-SID is advertised in an Extended Prefix Range TLV, then	
		the value advertised in Prefix SID Sub-TLV is interpreted as a starting SID

        <t>Example 1: if the following router addresses (loopback addresses)

        <t>then the Address Prefix field in the OSPFv3 Extended Prefix Range TLV is set

        <t>The SID/Label Binding Sub-TLV is used to advertise SID/Label mapping
        for a path to the prefix. </t>
        
        <t>The SID/Label Binding TLV MAY be originated by any router in an
        OSPFv3 domain. The router may advertise a SID/Label binding to a FEC
        along with at least a single 'nexthop style' anchor. The protocol
        supports more than one 'nexthop style' anchor to be attached to a
        SID/Label binding, which results into a simple path description
        language. In analogy to RSVP the terminology for this is called an
        'Explicit Route Object' (ERO). Since ERO style path notation allows
        anchoring SID/label bindings to both link and node IP addresses, any
        Label Switched Path (LSP) can be described. Furthermore, SID/Label
        Bindings from external protocols can also be re-advertised.</t>

        <t>The SID/Label Binding TLV may be used for advertising SID/Label
        Bindings and their associated Primary and Backup paths. In one single
        TLV, either a primary ERO Path, backup ERO Path, or both are
        advertised. If a router wants to advertise multiple parallel paths,
        then it can generate several TLVs for the same Prefix/FEC. Each
        occurrence of a Binding TLV for a given FEC Prefix will add a new path.</t>
        
        <t>SID/Label Binding Sub-TLV is a Sub-TLV of the following OSPFv3
        TLVs, as defined in <xref target="I-D.ietf-ospf-ospfv3-lsa-extend"/> and in

    <section title="Elements of Procedure">
      <section title="Intra-area Segment routing in OSPFv3 ">
        <t>An OSPFv3 router that supports segment routing MAY advertise Prefix-
        SIDs for any prefix that it is advertising reachability for (e.g.,
        loopback IP address) as described in <xref target="PREFIXSID"/>.</t>

        <t>If multiple routers advertise a Prefix-SID for the same prefix, then
        the Prefix-SID MUST be the same. This is required in order to allow
        traffic load-balancing when multiple equal cost paths to the destination
        exist in the network.</t>

        <t>The Prefix-SID can also be advertised by the SR Mapping Servers (as
        described in <xref
        target="I-D.filsfils-rtgwg-segment-routing-use-cases"/>). The Mapping
        Server advertises Prefix-SID for remote prefixes that exist in the
        network. Multiple Mapping Servers can advertise Prefix-SID for the
        same prefix, in which case the same Prefix-SID MUST be advertised by
        all of them. The SR Mapping Server could use either area scope or
        autonomous system flooding scope when advertising Prefix SID for
        prefixes, based on the configuration of the SR Mapping Server.
        Depending on the flooding scope used, the SR Mapping Server chooses the
        LSA that will be used. If the area flooding scope is needed,
        E-Intra-Area-Prefix-LSA (<xref target="I-D.ietf-ospf-ospfv3-lsa-extend"/>)
        is used. If autonomous system flooding scope is needed,
        E-AS-External-LSA (<xref target="I-D.ietf-ospf-ospfv3-lsa-extend"/>) is
        used.</t>

        <t>When a Prefix-SID is advertised by the Mapping Server, which is
        indicated by the M-flag in the Prefix-SID Sub-TLV (<xref
        target="PREFIXSID"/>), the route type as implied by the LSA type is ignored and the 
        Prefix-SID is bound to the corresponding prefix independent of the route type.</t>

        <t>Advertisement of the Prefix-SID by the Mapping Server using
        Inter-Area Prefix TLV, External-Prefix TLV or Intra-Area-Prefix TLV
        (<xref target="I-D.ietf-ospf-ospfv3-lsa-extend"/>) does not itself
        contribute to the prefix reachability. The NU-bit MUST be set in the
        PrefixOptions field of the LSA which is used by the Mapping Server to
        advertise SID or SID range, which prevents the advertisement to contribute to
        prefix reachability.</t>
      </section>

      <section title="Inter-area Segment routing in OSPFv3">
        <t>In order to support SR in a multi-area environment, OSPFv3 must
        propagate Prefix-SID information between areas. The following
        procedure is used in order to propagate Prefix SIDs between areas.</t>

        <t>When an OSPFv3 ABR advertises a Inter-Area-Prefix-LSA from an
        intra-area prefix to all its connected areas, it will also include
        Prefix-SID Sub-TLV, as described in <xref target="PREFIXSID"/>. The
        Prefix-SID value will be set as follows: <list style="hanging">
            <t>The ABR will look at its best path to the prefix in the source
            area and find out the advertising router associated with the best
            path to that prefix.</t>
            
            <t>The ABR will then determine if such router advertised a Prefix-SID	
			for the prefix and use it when advertising the Prefix-SID to other	
			connected areas.</t>

            <t>If no Prefix-SID was advertised for the prefix in the source
            area by the router that contributes to the best path to the
            prefix, the originating ABR will use the Prefix-SID advertised by any
            other router (e.g.: a Prefix-SID coming from an SR Mapping Server
            as defined in <xref
            target="I-D.filsfils-rtgwg-segment-routing-use-cases"/>) when
            propagating Prefix-SID for the prefix to other areas.</t>
          </list></t>

        <t>When an OSPFv3 ABR advertises Inter-Area-Prefix-LSA LSAs from an
        inter-area route to all its connected areas it will also include
        Prefix-SID Sub-TLV, as described in <xref target="PREFIXSID"/>. The
        Prefix-SID value will be set as follows: <list style="hanging">
            <t>The ABR will look at its best path to the prefix in the source
            area and find out the advertising router associated with the best

            <t>The ABR will then look if such router advertised a Prefix-SID
            for the prefix and use it when advertising the Prefix-SID to other

            <t>If no Prefix-SID was advertised for the prefix in the source

            target="I-D.filsfils-rtgwg-segment-routing-use-cases"/>) when
            propagating Prefix-SID for the prefix to other areas.</t>

      </section>

      <section title="SID for External Prefixes">
        <t>AS-External-LSAs are flooded domain wide. When an ASBR, which
        supports SR, generates E-AS-External-LSA, it should also include
        Prefix-SID Sub-TLV, as described in <xref target="PREFIXSID"/>.
        The Prefix-SID value will be set to the SID that has been reserved for
        that prefix.</t>

        <t>When an NSSA ASBR translates an E-NSSA-LSA into an E-AS-External-LSA, it
        should also advertise the Prefix-SID for the prefix. The NSSA ABR
        determines its best path to the prefix advertised in the translated
        E-NSSA-LSA and finds the advertising router associated with that path.
        If the advertising router has advertised a Prefix-SID for the prefix,
        then the NSSA ABR uses it when advertising the Prefix-SID in the
        E-AS-External-LSA. Otherwise the Prefix-SID advertised by any other
        router will be used (e.g.: a Prefix-SID coming from an SR Mapping
        Server as defined in <xref
        target="I-D.filsfils-rtgwg-segment-routing-use-cases"/>).</t>
      </section>

      <section title="Advertisement of Adj-SID">
        <t>The Adjacency Segment Routing Identifier (Adj-SID) is advertised
        using the Adj-SID Sub-TLV as described in <xref target="ADJSID"/>.</t>

        <section title="Advertisement of Adj-SID on Point-to-Point Links">
          <t>An Adj-SID MAY be advertised for any adjacency on p2p link that is
          in a state 2-Way or higher. If the adjacency on a p2p link
          transitions from the FULL state, then the Adj-SID for that adjacency
          MAY be removed from the area. If the adjacency transitions to a
          state lower then 2-Way, then the Adj-SID advertisement MUST be removed from the
          area.</t>
        </section>

        <section title="Adjacency SID on Broadcast or NBMA Interfaces">
          <t>Broadcast or NBMA networks in OSPFv3 are represented by a star
          topology where the Designated Router (DR) is the central point to which all
          other routers on the broadcast or NBMA network connect. As a 
          result, routers on the broadcast or NBMA network advertise only
          their adjacency to the DR. Routers that do not act as DR do not form or advertise
          adjacencies with each other. They do, however, maintain a 2-Way adjacency state
          with each other and are directly reachable.</t>

          <t>When Segment Routing is used, each router on the broadcast or
          NBMA network MAY advertise the Adj-SID for its adjacency to the DR using
          Adj-SID Sub-TLV as described in <xref target="ADJSIDSUBTLV"/>.</t>

          <t>SR capable routers MAY also advertise an Adj-SID for other neighbors
          (e.g. BDR, DR-OTHER) on the broadcast or NBMA network using the LAN
          ADJ-SID Sub-TLV as described in <xref target="LANADJSIDSUBTLV"/>.</t>
