SRTE: Dynamic Instantiation of SR

Policies
MPLS SDN Interoperability Test 2021

Jose Liste Rafal Szmidt

Test Case Purpose
• Demonstration showcases:

• Vendor implementation’s capability to instantiate dynamically SR-

TE policies based on BGP service routes received from remote PE
router
• Vendor implementation’s capability to automatically steer traffic
for a remote prefix over an SR-TE policy

Non-Juniper
Intent encoded as a color
• Color is a 32-bit number
• Color is associated with service routes

• Mapping an intent to a color:

− Low-latency: BLUE
− Low-cost: ORANGE

Dynamic instantiation of SR Policies

BGP VPN
W/w via E2 0
1 BLUE ⟶ Low- Color = BLUE
delay
2
New SR Policy (E2, BLUE):
SID-list <S1, S2, 16002> E E
1 3 <S1, S2, 16002> 2 W/w

1. E1 maps color BLUE to the low-delay intent

2. Upon receiving a service route via E2 with color BLUE, E1 automatically instantiates the
SR Policy (E2, BLUE)
− Each PE installs only the SR Policies that it needs
3. E1 steers the traffic for prefix W/w onto SR Policy (E2, BLUE)
