OSPFv3 Extensions for Segment Routing

Overview

RFC 8666, “OSPFv3 Extensions for Segment Routing”, is a Proposed Standard document published in December 2019 by P. Psenak, S. Previdi. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

Segment Routing (SR) allows a flexible definition of end-to-end paths within IGP topologies by encoding paths as sequences of topological subpaths called "segments". These segments are advertised by the link-state routing protocols (IS-IS and OSPF).

This document describes the OSPFv3 extensions required for Segment Routing with the MPLS data plane.
