Re: [Lsr] Using IS-IS Multi-Topology (MT) for Segment Routing basedVirtual Transport Network

[Gyan Mishra <[e-mail]>]

Hi Chongfeng & Jie

Have you looked at the preferred path routing draft by Uma Chunduri.  This
is also Isis extensions for IP based SR source routing.

Maybe something that can be leveraged for VPN+

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-chunduri-isis-preferred-path-routing-00

Also this TEAS draft related to using the RSVP extensions for IP based
source routing for SR.

This may help in having to develop new extensions for VPN+

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-saad-teas-rsvpte-ip-tunnels-00

Kind regards

Gyan
