Claim 12:
13. A first network node comprising:
a processor configured to:
obtain a first packet comprising a segment routing header (SRH) and a destination address, wherein the SRH comprises a segment list, and wherein the segment list comprises one or more segment identifiers (SIDs) for forwarding the first packet;
obtain, according to a first SID of the first network node, a second SID that is of a second network node and that is from the segment list, wherein the second network node is a next-hop segment node of the first network node on a path;
replace, according to the first SID, the destination address with the second SID; and
add, according to the first SID, a network performance parameter within the segment list to generate a second packet; and
