    Abstract: A method of routing a data packet through a network comprises updating at least one router local forwarding table to include path IDs of network segments defining paths between network nodes and network function bit encoding/decoding information. In response to a data packet arriving at an ingress network node, an encapsulation header including a path ID identifying at least one network segment of an explicit routing path and a bit encoding specifying network functions to be performed on the data packet are encapsulated in unused portions of the source address and/or the destination address in the encapsulation header. A network node in the explicit routing path performs a network function encoded in the source address and/or the destination address of the encapsulation header of the data packet and forwards the data packet based on network function bit encoding/decoding and path ID information in the network node's local updated local forwarding table.

    Abstract: An apparatus in an IP network, the apparatus comprises: a receiver configured to: obtain an identity of a first entity, the identity is a unique identification of the first entity at a given time, obtain a first identifier of the identity, and obtain a second identifier of the identity, the first identifier and the second identifier are identifications of the identity; and a processor coupled to the receiver and configured to: create an association of the first identifier and the second identifier with the identity, and instruct storage of the association in a database.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of discrepancy detection by a configuration server is provided that comprises: receiving, by one or more processors of the configuration server, a request to compare a first management datastore with a second management datastore; comparing, by the one or more processors of the configuration server, the first management datastore with the second management datastore to identify differences; and in response to the request, sending over a network, by the one or more processors of the configuration server, the differences.
