Abstract:
   Segment Routing (SR) leverages the source routing paradigm.  A node
   steers a packet through a controlled set of instructions, called
   segments, by prepending the packet with an SR header.  A segment can
   represent any instruction, topological or service-based.  A segment
   can have a local semantic to an SR node or global within an SR
   domain.  SR allows to enforce a flow through any topological path and
   service chain while maintaining per-flow state only at the ingress
   node to the SR domain.

   The objective of this document is to illustrate some use cases that
   would benefit from an IPv6 Segment Routing data-plane architecture.
