    Abstract: Systems and methods for zero touch configuration for a mesh of nodes using Segment Routing Flexible Algorithm define a Flex Algo Definition (FAD) of an auto-mesh plane. A method, in one embodiment, includes, responsive to the FAD, providing an advertisement of a Prefix Segment Identifier (SID) for a node in the auto-mesh plane; and including a flag in the advertisement designating whether the node is a destination node or a non-destination node in the auto-mesh plane. The destination node is one which requires transport connectivity to all other destination nodes in the auto-mesh plane, and the non-destination node is one used for reachability to all the destination nodes.

    Abstract: A source node in a first domain in a multi-domain network includes a plurality of ports; and switching circuitry configured to forward packets between the plurality of ports, wherein the source node is configured to, for a packet destined for a destination node in another domain in the multi-domain network, add a list of Segment Identifiers (SIDs) to the packet for loose source-based routing from the source node, through the first domain, and to the another domain, and forward the packet via a port of the plurality of ports and with the list of SIDs, wherein the list of SIDs includes at least one SID representing both an anycast SID and a binding SID. The SID is associated with an anycast group that includes a plurality of nodes, and with a binding segment in the second domain, the binding segment includes a different SID list for each node of the plurality of nodes.
