Assignee: JUNIPER NETWORKS, INC.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 4:
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the node label comprises a first node label, wherein the flexible-algorithm comprises a first flexible-algorithm, wherein the second router participates in a second flexible-algorithm, wherein the label stack comprises a first label stack, wherein the packet comprises a first packet, the method further comprising:
receiving, by the first router, a second packet destined for the second router;
deducing, by the first router and from the base node label, a second node label for the second router by offsetting the base node label of the second router to fall within a node label range of the second flexible-algorithm, the deduced second node label associated with a segment routing path computed with the second flexible-algorithm; and
constructing, by the first router, a second label stack including the deduced second node label for the second router to steer the second packet to the second router along the segment routing path computed with the second flexible-algorithm.
