Use-Cases for Segment Routing in Large-Scale Data Centers
Ebben Aries, Gaya Nagarajan, Petr Lapukhov · 2014
This document discusses ways in which segment routing (aka source routing) paradigm could be leveraged inside the data-center to improve application performance and network reliability. Specifically, it focuses on exposing path visibility to the host's networking stack and leveraging this to address a few well-known performance and reliability problems in data-center networks.
