Abstract

Systems and methods include maintaining a network plane in Segment Routing (SR) Flexible Algorithm having a Flexible Algorithm Definition (FAD) based on latency; receiving a request for a service over a SR network where the service is sensitive to a specific latency; and determining a label stack including one or more Segment Identifiers (SID) for the service, with the one or more SIDs based on the network plane in SR Flexible Algorithm. This can be used for Private Line Emulation (PLE) services and Circuit Emulation (CEM) services over SR, ensuring latency while not requiring large label stacks.
