An example system and method for facilitating communication with segment routing in a cable modem network environment is provided and includes receiving, at a remote physical device (RPD) in a network, a PW control packet including segment routing information including a PW segment identifier (PW SID) for establishing a data session between the RPD and a network element over a packet switched network, the PW SID indicative of a segment in the packet switched network to be used for communicating PW data packets of the data session, the PW control packet and the PW data packets being emulations of a point-to-point connection between the RPD and the network element, and writing into a segment table of the RPD a mapping between the PW SID and the data session. In specific embodiments, the network element comprises a Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) Core of a cable network.
