Abstract
In various embodiments, an apparatus, a non-transitory computer-readable media, and a method are provided, involving a technique to: receive, from a network node located in a second region of the network, a packet along with a header having network path information that includes an outside-scope identifier that identifies the first region without identifying a single particular network node, a single particular interface, nor a single particular link; responsive to receiving the packet, identify a next indicator that identifies a next identifier in the network path information for the border node; modify the next indicator to identify, for another node, another identifier in the network path information; and forward the packet according to the next identifier to deliver data in the packet to the another node via the at least one network interface in the first region.
