3 Terms and Definitions
The terms and definitions defined in GB/T 44887.1 and the following terms and definitions apply to this document.
3.1
The application of segmented routing networks provides topology-independent fault protection capabilities in IGP networks, while also providing protected routes.
The path is consistent with the path after IGP convergence, which is a fast rerouting technology that reduces service interruption.
3.2 local repair point (pointoflocalrepaire)
The upstream node of the faulty node in the TI-LFA and specified intermediate node protection scenario.
Note. Implement proxy forwarding and fault protection functions.
3.3 mirrorSID
SID used to provide SRH tail node protection in SRv6 networks.
Note. Traffic originally destined for this node is forwarded to another mirror node with the same functionality. The behavior of MirrorSID at the corresponding Endpoint is defined as follows. End.M.
3.4 microloop
When the network topology changes, transient network loops occur due to the incomplete synchronization of LSDBs of each node and inconsistent convergence paths.
