IPv6 Segment Routing Header
RFC 8754, “IPv6 Segment Routing Header”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2020 by C. Filsfils, D. Dukes, S. Previdi, J. Leddy, S. Matsushima, D. Voyer. It has since been updated by RFC 9800. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Segment Routing can be applied to the IPv6 data plane using a new type of Routing Extension Header called the Segment Routing Header (SRH). This document describes the SRH and how it is used by nodes that are Segment Routing (SR) capable.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
