    Abstract: A network device may receive policy data identifying a first segment routing (SR) policy and a second SR policy. The first SR policy may be associated with a first path through a network and a first next hop, and the second SR policy may be associated with a second path through the network and a second next hop. The network device may advertise, to another device, reachability associated with the first next hop and the second next hop, and may receive, from the other device, a packet with a header. The network device may determine, from the header, data identifying the first next hop or the second next hop, without performing a lookup, and may cause the packet to be routed to a destination address, via the first path or the second path, based on the policy data associated with the first next hop or the second next hop.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for providing end-to-end segment routing paths across metropolitan area networks. For example, a method comprises receiving, by an area border router (ABR) connected to one or more metropolitan area networks and a core network, a packet including a segment routing label stack including at least a label of the ABR, a context label associated with a routing instance of the ABR, and a subsequent label identifying a device in the segment routing path, determining, from a lookup of the context label in the metro routing table, a table next hop to the core routing table (or metro routing table); in response to determining the table next hop, determining, from a lookup of the subsequent label in the core routing table (or metro routing table), a next hop in the segment routing path; and sending, by the ABR, the packet toward the device in the segment routing path.

    Abstract: In general, techniques are described for managing routing information in a hub-and-spoke network in a manner that reduces flooding of link information. A hub router of the hub-and-spoke network including a memory and a processor may perform the techniques. The memory may be configured to store a representation of a topology of the hub-and-spoke network. The processor may be configured to utilize a separate instance of a multi-instance version of a link state protocol to communicate with each of a plurality of spoke routers of the hub-and-spoke network. Each separate instance of the multi-instance version of the link state protocol may include the hub router and a different one of the plurality of spoke routers. The processor may process link state advertisements from the separate instances of the multi-instance version of the link state protocol to maintain the representation of the topology of the hub-and-spoke network.
