Abstract


   SRv6 is a traffic engineering, encapsulation and steering mechanism
   utilizing IPv6 addresses to identify segments in a pre-defined
   policy.  This document discusses security considerations in SRv6
   networks, including the potential threats and the possible mitigation
   methods.  The document does not define any new security protocols or
   extensions to existing protocols.
