Abstract
Techniques for implementing bi-directional paths in a segment routing communication network are described. A first segment routing policy, including a first path from a first node in the communication network to a second node in the communication network, is installed. A second segment routing policy, including a second path from the second node to the first node in the communication network, is installed. At the first node, a first identifier associated with the first segment routing policy is bound to a second association identifier associated with the second segment routing policy. At the second node, a second identifier associated with the second segment routing policy is bound to a first association identifier associated with the first segment routing policy.
