Hi all,

The following draft talks about the use case of connecting SPRING islands over IP networks and corresponding mechanism. Any comments are welcome. 

BTW, besides the mechanism described in the current version, other options (e.g., advertising GRE tunnel as an SR adjacency) are also under consideration and may be added in the future revision.

Best regards,
Xiaohu

> Abstract:
>    Segment Routing (SR) architecture [SR-ARCH] introduces a new MPLS
>    paradigm in which a sender of a packet is allowed to partially or
>    completely specify the route the packet takes through the network by
>    using stacked MPLS labels. The current SR architecture requires an
>    end-to-end MPLS Label Switched Path (LSP) between any two SR-enabled
>    routers (e.g., two adjacent hops of a given explicit path). In order
>    to enable SR to be deployed even when there are non-MPLS routers
>    along the path between two SR-enabled routers, it is desirable to
>    have an alternative, which allows the use of IP-based tunnels (e.g.,
>    GRE tunnels) to connect two SR-enabled routers. This document
>    describes a mechanism for such usage.
