Internet Draft ETRI

draft-jeongyun-spring-mobility-use-cases-00 The ability for a node to specify a forwarding path, other than the normal shortest path, that a particular packet will traverse, benefits a number of network functions. Source-based routing mechanisms have previously been specified for network protocols, but have not seen widespread adoption. In this context, the term ‘source ’ means ’the point at which the explicit route is imposed’. The objective of this document is to illustrate some use cases that need to be taken into account by the Source Packet Routing in Networking (SPRING) architecture.
