Hi WG,

This draft discusses scalable mechanisms to realize network slicing in SR networks.
It introduces two mechanisms to achieve this:

  *   Ability to allocate multiple slice SIDs for the same prefix that share the same underlying topology.
  *   Relying on a global network slice identifier that can be carried in packets forwarded over a network slice in an IP/MPLS SR network.

Please review and let us know if you have comments.

Regards,
Tarek/Pavan

    Abstract:

       Multiple network slices can be realized on top of a single shared

       network.  A router that requires forwarding of a packet that belongs

       to a network slice may have to decide on the forwarding action to

       take based on selected next-hop(s), and the forwarding treatment

       (e.g. scheduling and drop policy) to enforce based on the slice

       aggregate per-hop behavior.  Segment Routing is a technology that

       enables the steering of packets in a network by encoding pre-

       established segments within the network into the packet header.  This

       document introduces mechanisms to enable forwarding of packets over a

       specific network slice along a Segment Routing (SR) path.

    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.
