Abstract:
In one embodiment, a Segment Routing network node provides efficiencies in processing and communicating Internet Protocol packets in a network. An Internet Protocol (IP) packet, possibly a Segment Routing packet, is received by a node in a network, which updates the packet according to a corresponding Segment Routing Policy, that includes an ordered list of Segment Identifiers comprising, in first-to-last order, a first Segment Identifier followed by one or more subsequent Segment Identifiers. The updating of the packet includes setting the Destination Address to the first Segment Identifier, and adding said one or more subsequent Segment Identifiers, but not the first Segment Identifier, in a first Segment Routing Header. The updated packet is sent into the network without the first Segment Identifier being added to a Segment Routing Header in response to the Segment Routing Policy.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising:\n receiving a particular packet by a particular node in a network, with the particular packet including an outer Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) header that includes a Destination Address; updating said received particular packet according to a particular Segment Routing Policy identified based on the particular packet, with the particular Segment Routing Policy including an ordered list of Segment Identifiers comprising, in first-to-last order, a first Segment Identifier followed by one or more subsequent Segment Identifiers, with said updating including setting the Destination Address to the first Segment Identifier, and with said updating including adding said one or more subsequent Segment Identifiers, but not the first Segment Identifier, in a first Segment Routing Header; and sending the particular packet, that includes said updates according to the particular Segment Routing Policy while not including the first Segment Identifier in the first Segment Routing Header, into the network from the particular node.
