Abstract:
    Instead of forwarding to a specific device or to all devices in a
    group, anycast addresses, let network devices forward a packet to (or
    steer it through) one or more topologically nearest devices in a
    specific group of network devices.  The use of anycast addresses has
    been extended to the Segment Routing (SR) network, wherein a group of
    SR-capable devices can represent a anycast address, by having the
    same Segment Routing Global Block (SRGB) provisioned on all the
    devices and each one of them advertising the same anycast prefix
    segment (or Anycast SID).

    This document describes a proposal for implementing anycast prefix
    segments in a MPLS-based SR network, without the need to have the
    same SRGB block (label ranges) provisioned across all the member
    devices in the group.  Each node can be provisioned with a separate
    SRGB from the label range supported by the specfic hardware platform.

Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
