Abstract:
In one embodiment, segment routing network processing of packets is performed, including using segment routing packet policies and functions providing segment routing processing signaling and packet forwarding efficiencies in a network. A segment routing node signals to another segment routing node using a signaled segment identifier in a segment list of a segment routing packet with the segments left identifying a segment list element above the signaled segment identifier. A downstream segment routing node receives the segment routing packet, obtains this signaled segment identifier, and performs processing of one or more packets based thereon. In one embodiment, a provider edge node replaces its own segment identifier in a received customer packet, with a downstream customer node using the replaced (signaling) segment identifier (of a provider edge node/segment routing function) for accessing a return path through the provider network.

Claim (Index 18):
The method of  claim 17 , wherein prior to the second segment routing node said receiving the particular segment routing packet, a first segment routing node receives, then updates, and then sends into the network the particular segment routing packet; wherein a particular segment identifier is an Internet Protocol address of the first segment routing node; and wherein said updating of the particular segment routing packet by the first segment routing node includes replacing the particular segment identifier with the signaled segment identifier in the particular segment list.
