Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 3:
4. The method of claim 1,
wherein the base node label for the second router is shared with another router,
wherein receiving the route advertisement comprises receiving the route advertisement including a label stack of the base node label for the second router and a base node label, for an area border router in an Interior Gateway Protocol area including the second router, associated with the segment routing path computed without the flexible-algorithm, wherein the label stack uniquely identifies the second router,
wherein deducing the node label for the second router further comprises deducing a node label for the area border router, wherein the node label for the area border router is associated with the segment routing path computed with the flexible-algorithm, and
wherein constructing the label stack comprises constructing the label stack including the deduced node label for the second router and the deduced node label for the area border router to steer the packet to the second router along the segment routing path computed with the flexible-algorithm.
