Abstract
Systems and methods for zero touch configuration for a mesh of nodes using Segment Routing Flexible Algorithm define a Flex Algo Definition (FAD) of an auto-mesh plane. A method, in one embodiment, includes, responsive to the FAD, providing an advertisement of a Prefix Segment Identifier (SID) for a node in the auto-mesh plane; and including a flag in the advertisement designating whether the node is a destination node or a non-destination node in the auto-mesh plane. The destination node is one which requires transport connectivity to all other destination nodes in the auto-mesh plane, and the non-destination node is one used for reachability to all the destination nodes.
