.. _segment-routing: ############### Segment Routing ############### Segment Routing (SR) is a network architecture that is similar to source-routing . In this architecture, the ingress router adds a list of segments, known as SIDs, to the packet as it enters the network. These segments represent different portions of the network path that the packet will take. The SR segments are portions of the network path taken by the packet, and are called SIDs. At each node, the first SID of the list is read, executed as a forwarding function, and may be popped to let the next node read the next SID of the list. The SID list completely determines the path where the packet is forwarded. Segment Routing can be applied to an existing MPLS-based data plane and defines a control plane network architecture. In MPLS networks, segments are encoded as MPLS labels and are added at the ingress router. These MPLS labels are then exchanged and populated by Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs) like IS-IS or OSPF which are running on most ISPs. .. note:: Segment routing defines a control plane network architecture and can be applied to an existing MPLS based dataplane. In the MPLS networks, segments are encoded as MPLS labels and are imposed at the ingress router. MPLS labels are exchanged and populated by IGPs like IS-IS.Segment Routing as per RFC8667 for MPLS dataplane. It supports IPv4, IPv6 and ECMP and has been tested against Cisco & Juniper routers.however,this deployment is still EXPERIMENTAL for FRR. IS-IS SR Configuration ---------------------- Segment routing (SR) is used by the IGP protocols to interconnect network devices, below configuration shows how to enable SR on IS-IS: .. note:: ``Known limitations:`` No support for level redistribution (L1 to L2 or L2 to L1) No support for binding SID No support for SRLB Only one SRGB and default SPF Algorithm is supported .. cfgcmd:: set protocols isis segment-routing global-block high-label-value Set the Segment Routing Global Block i.e. the label range used by MPLS to store label in the MPLS FIB for Prefix SID. Note that the block size may not exceed 65535. .. cfgcmd:: set protocols isis segment-routing global-block low-label-value Set the Segment Routing Global Block i.e. the low label range used by MPLS to store label in the MPLS FIB for Prefix SID. Note that the block size may not exceed 65535. .. cfgcmd:: set protocols isis segment-routing local-block high-label-value Set the Segment Routing Local Block i.e. the label range used by MPLS to store label in the MPLS FIB for Prefix SID. Note that the block size may not exceed 65535.Segment Routing Local Block, The negative command always unsets both. .. cfgcmd:: set protocols isis segment-routing local-block Set the Segment Routing Local Block i.e. the low label range used by MPLS to store label in the MPLS FIB for Prefix SID. Note that the block size may not exceed 65535.Segment Routing Local Block, The negative command always unsets both. .. cfgcmd:: set protocols isis segment-routing maximum-label-depth <1-16> Set the Maximum Stack Depth supported by the router. The value depend of the MPLS dataplane. .. cfgcmd:: set protocols isis segment-routing prefix

index value <0-65535> A segment ID that contains an IP address prefix calculated by an IGP in the service provider core network. Prefix SIDs are globally unique, this value indentify it .. cfgcmd:: set protocols isis segment-routing prefix

index this option allows to configure prefix-sid on SR. The ‘no-php-flag’ means NO Penultimate Hop Popping that allows SR node to request to its neighbor to not pop the label. The ‘explicit-null’ flag allows SR node to request to its neighbor to send IP packet with the EXPLICIT-NULL label. The ‘n-flag-clear’ option can be used to explicitly clear the Node flag that is set by default for Prefix-SIDs associated to loopback addresses. This option is necessary to configure Anycast-SIDs. .. note:: more information related IGP - :ref:`routing-ospf` Configuration Example --------------------- we described the configuration SR ISIS / SR OSPF using 2 connected with them to share label information.
