SR Interop Highlights
• Cisco was one of a total of ten (10)
network and test equipment
vendors that validated readiness of
their SR implementations
• SR-MPLS dominated on those test
cases using MPLS as a transport
• This included the transport of services such
as IP VPN and Ethernet VPN
© 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
SR Interop Highlights
• Functionality re-tested in 2019 included:
− IPv4 SR IS-IS extensions
− Prefix Segment ID (Prefix-SID) for host prefixes including both Node and
Anycast SIDs
− Adjacency Segment IDs (Adj-SIDs) for IS-IS adjacencies
− SR OAM - IPv4 IGP-Prefix SID Target FEC Stack sub-TLV
− BGP SR - SR Prefix SID extensions for BGP (BGP-SR)
− Topology Independent LFA (TI-LFA) FRR

SR Interop Highlights
• Functionality not tested in 2019 but previously verified in 2018:

Server (SRMS) function
© 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Homogeneous SRGB

Beyond the Report … TI-LFA
• Beyond protocol interoperability, aspects NOT COVERED by
the report and important to consider:
• Does the implementation provide per-destination (per-
prefix) backup paths?
• Does the implementation provide prefix-independent
convergence?
• Does the implementation provide protection to traffic that
originally is forwarded using other paradigms such as LDP
signaling or pure IP traffic (IP-routed traffic)?

SR IGP Flexible Algorithms
• Newest member of Cisco’s
SRTE portfolio
− draft-ietf-lsr-flex-algo

SR IGP Flexible Algorithms
• Complements the SRTE solution with customizable Prefix-SIDs
• We call “Flex-Algo”
• The algorithm is defined by the operator, on a per-deployment basis
• Flex-Algo K is defined as
• The minimization of a specified metric: IGP, delay, …
• The exclusion of certain link properties: link-affinity, SRLG, …
© 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 28
SR IGP Flexible Algorithms
• Examples
− Operator defines Flex-Algo 128 as “minimize IGP metric while avoiding links with link-
affinity “brown”
− Operator defines Flex-Algo 129 as “minimize delay metric”

SR OAM Highlights
• RFC 8287 defined extensions to
perform LSP Ping and Traceroute
operations for SR IGP-Prefix SIDs and
IGP-Adjacency SIDs with an MPLS data

initiator of SR OAM ping / traceroute
operations - using an MPLS echo
request with a target FEC Stack TLV
carrying FECs with IPv4 IGP-prefix SID
sub-TLV
• Cisco was successfully validated as
target / responder of SR OAM ping /
traceroute operations
