A Segment Routing (SR) path is identified by an SR segment list. A
subset of segments from the segment list cannot be leveraged to
distinguish one SR path from another as they may be partially
congruent. SR path identification is a prerequisite for various use
cases such as performance measurement and end-to-end 1+1 path
protection.

In an SR over MPLS (SR-MPLS) data plane, an egress node cannot
determine on which SR path a packet traversed the network from the
label stack because the segment identifiers are removed from the
label stack as the packet transits the network.

This document defines a Path Segment Identifier (PSID) to identify an
SR path on the egress node of the path.

This document is a product of the Source Packet Routing in Networking Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
