Abstract

Segment Routing (SR) is already deployed in its MPLS variant. We focus on its IPv6 flavor (SRv6) and argue that it enables the hosts to directly participate in the management of their flows, through an SDN-like controller. To realise this, we implement SRv6 in the Linux kernel. Our implementation has been merged in the mainstream Linux tree and is available as of Linux 4.10. We argue that such a public, open-source implementation enables other researchers to explore SRv6. We propose a demonstration of our implementation.
