Abstract
Systems and methods for computing paths through a network are provided. A method, according to one implementation, includes the step of storing and managing a first set of objects including one or more Segment Routing (SR) policies and Traffic Engineering (TE) tunnels, where the first set of objects represents custom behavior received from a network operator for defining intended characteristics of traffic flowing through a network. The method also includes the step of storing and managing a second set of objects representing one or more managed paths through the network, where the managed paths are calculated by a TE technique using the one or more SR policies and TE tunnels.
