Abstract: In one embodiment, a method comprises generating, by a first provider edge router associated with a first segment identifier, a primary label for reaching a destination, and repair information for reaching the destination if a second provider edge router is unavailable to reach the destination; allocating, by the first provider edge router, a first protected next-hop address associated with the first segment identifier for protected reachability to at least the destination; and sending via a core network, by the first provider edge router, an advertisement specifying the label and the repair information, enabling an ingress provider edge router to insert, into a data packet destined for the destination, the labels from the first provider edge router and the second provider edge router based on the repair information, for fast rerouting to the destination via one of the first or second provider edge router if the other is unavailable.
