streamIETF groupspring stateactive intendedProposed Standard pages17 rev07 expires2026-10-30 canonicalhttps://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-spring-sr-redundancy-protection/
Redundancy Protection is a generalized protection mechanism to achieve high reliability for service provided in Segment Routing networks. The mechanism uses the "Live-Live" methodology, i.e., multiple copies of the data packets are sent on different paths to provide protection. This document introduces one new SRv6 Segment Endpoint Behavior to provide replication and elimination functions on specific network nodes by leveraging SRv6 Network Programming capabilities.
