Technical Summary

   Segment Routing [RFC8402] allows a headend node to steer a packet flow
   along any path. Intermediate per-path states are eliminated thanks
   to source routing. The headend node steers a flow into an SR Policy.
   The packets steered into an SR Policy carry an ordered list of
   segments associated with that SR Policy. This document details the
   concepts of SR Policy and steering into an SR Policy.

Working Group Summary

   This document is a foundation for segment routing policy concepts and steering techniques into an SR policy.
   It has been largely reviewed, commented on and supported by the working group.

Document Quality

   The document is well written with many examples of policy concepts and steering techniques.
   There are known implementations / implementation plans.

Personnel

  The Document Shepherd is James N Guichard.
  The Responsible Area Director is Martin Vigoureux.
