Popis: Segment Routing (SR) leverages the source routing paradigm. A node steers a packet through an ordered list of instructions, called segments. Segment Routing can be applied to the Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) data plane. Entropy label (EL) is a technique used in MPLS to improve load-balancing. This document examines and describes how ELs are to be applied to Segment Routing MPLS.
