Information About SSPF with Segment Routing

Strict Shortest Path First

Segment Routing supports the following two algorithms:

Algorithm 0: This is a Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm based on link metric. This shortest path algorithm is computed by the Interior gateway protocol (IGP).
Algorithm 1: This is a Strict Shortest Path First (SSPF) algorithm based on link metric. The algorithm 1 is identical to algorithm 0 but requires that all nodes along the path honor the SPF routing decision. Local policy does not alter the forwarding decision. For example, a packet is not forwarded through locally engineered path.

Different SIDs are associated with the same prefix for each algorithm.

Strict Shortest Path First is supported by default - but strict SIDs must be configured for at least one node address on each node supporting Segment Routing.

Approaches for Configure Strict Shortest Path First

The two approaches to configure Strict SFP are as follows:

Using the connect-prefix-sid-map command—Strict SFP is configured globally on all the nodes. For a network to be Strict SFP-aware (that is, for ISIS to populate Strict SPF), all nodes must be configured with a local Strict SFP SID.
Using Segment-routing Mapping Server—One node in the network is configured as mapping server and the remaining nodes act as a client.

How to Configure SSPF with Segment Routing

Configuring Strict Shortest Path First (SPF)

Enabling Strict Shortest Path First Using the connect-prefix-sid-map command

Enabling Shortest Path First on a Provider-Edge Device

When enabling Strict Shortest Path First using the connect-prefix-sid-map command, the Strict Shortest Path First (SPF) must be configured on the provider-edge device first and then on the node devices. The following is a sample configuration code snippet to enable Strict Shortest Path First on a provider-edge device.


segment-routing mpls
connected-prefix-sid-map
  address-family ipv4
   10.10.10.10/32 index 100 range 1 
  exit-address-family
  address-family ipv4 strict-spf
   10.10.10.10/32 index 1000 range 1 ------------------configure strict SPF locally
  exit-address-family

Enabling Shortest Path First on a Node Device

The following is a sample configuration code snippet to enable Strict Shortest Path First on a node in the network and must be enabled on all nodes in a network.


segment-routing mpls
connected-prefix-sid-map
  address-family ipv4
   10.20.20.20/32 index 110 range 1 
  exit-address-family
  address-family ipv4 strict-spf
   10.20.20.20/32 index 1100 range 1 
  exit-address-family

Enabling Strict Shortest Path First Using Segment Routing Mapping Server

Configuring a Node as Segment Routing Mapping Server

The following is a sample configuration code snippet to configure a node as Segment Routing Mapping Server.

    10.100.100.100/32 index 2000 range 1 
   exit-address-family
