Abstract:
This disclosure describes techniques for enhanced segment routing across computer networks. The routing of data traffic may be enhanced by accounting for additional considerations, beyond typical network parameters, when selecting segment routes via which to route the data traffic. For instance, a service provider (SP) may wish to consider business priorities when selecting a segment route to another SP. The techniques described herein include mechanisms for gathering and/or receiving information regarding business priorities, analyzing the business priorities, and determining a segment route. As such, through accounting for additional considerations beyond typical network parameters, enhanced segment routing may potentially improve client service and network operations.
