Advertise SRv6 Locator Information by IPv6 Neighbor Discovery
In an SRv6 network, each SRv6 segment endpoint has at least one SRv6
Locator. Through the SRv6 locator routes, other SRv6 segment nodes
can steer traffic to that node. This document describes a method for
an SRv6 endpoint (e.g., a host or a customer provider edge (CPE)) to
advertise its SRv6 locator to a neighboring SRv6-aware router using
extensions to the IPv6 Neighbor Discovery (ND) protocol. This
approach eliminates the need to run a full routing protocol stack on
simple endpoints, facilitating SRv6 deployment in controlled, trusted
domains such as data centers and managed access networks.
