Claim 0:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processor to implement steps, for a Segment Routing network that utilizes Flexible Algorithm, wherein the steps include:
defining a first Flexible Algorithm that segregates the Segment Routing network into a first subset network that excludes any of links and nodes from the Segment Routing network;
defining a second Flexible Algorithm that segregates the Segment Routing network into a second subset network, different from the first subset network; and
defining extended protection for the first Flexible Algorithm with the second Flexible Algorithm whereby the second Flexible Algorithm is usable to protect one or more of a path, a node, and a link available in the first Flexible Algorithm.
