Abstract:
In one embodiment, segment routing (SR) network processing of packets is performed on packets having a segment identifier structure providing processing and/or memory efficiencies. Responsive to an identified particular segment routing policy, the particular router retrieves from memory a dynamic segment routing identifier portion of the particular SR policy that includes a SR node value and a SR function value. The SR function value identifies segment routing processing to be performed by a router in the network identified based on the SR node value. A segment routing discriminator is independently identified, possibly being a fixed value for all segment identifiers in the network. Before sending into the network, a complete segment identifier is added to the particular packet by combining the segment routing discriminator with the dynamic segment routing identifier portion. The particular packet including the complete segment identifier is sent into the network.

Claim (Index 13):
A method, comprising:\n receiving a particular packet by a particular router in a network; responsive to the particular router data plane ascertaining based on the particular packet a particular segment routing (SR) policy associated with a plurality of dynamic segment routing identifier portions, the particular router adding a plurality of complete segment identifiers to the particular packet, with each of the plurality of complete segment identifiers being an Internet Protocol (IP) routable address of a SR-capable router in the network; and sending the particular packet with the plurality of complete segment identifiers from the particular router; wherein each of the plurality of dynamic segment routing identifier portions includes a SR node value and a SR function value, with the SR function value identifying corresponding segment routing processing to be performed on the particular packet by a corresponding router in the network identified based on the SR node value; wherein said adding the plurality of complete segment identifiers to the particular packet includes creating each particular complete identifier of the plurality of complete segment identifiers which includes combining a segment routing discriminator and a corresponding different one of the plurality of dynamic segment routing identifier portions retrieved from memory.
