Abstract
In various embodiments, a method and apparatus are configured to receive, at a node in a first access network, a data packet, wherein the first access network is connected, via a first area edge node, to a first area of a subdivided network; receive, from a centralized controller for the subdivided network, a segment identifier data structure, wherein the segment identifier data structure encodes a path extending from the first area edge node to a second access network; encapsulate the data packet; and forward the encapsulated data packet toward the first area edge node.
