The same prefix segment identifier (SID) may be configured and/or used for either (A) more than one prefix within an interior gateway protocol (IGP) domain, or (B) one prefix with more than one path computation algorithm within the IGP domain by: (a) receiving, by a node in the IGP domain, an IGP advertisement including both (1) a prefix SID and a segment routing global block (SRGB) slice identifier; (b) determining whether or not the SRGB slice identified by the SRGB slice identifier is provisioned on the node; and (c) responsive to a determination that the SRGB slice identified by the SRGB slice identifier is not provisioned on the node, not processing the prefix SID included in the received IGP advertisement, and otherwise responsive to a determination that the SRGB slice identified by the SRGB slice identifier is provisioned on the node, (1) processing the prefix SID and SRGB slice to generate a unique, per SRGB slice, MPLS label for the prefix, and (2) updating a label forwarding information base (LFIB) for the node using the unique, per SRGB slice, label for the prefix and the prefix.
