Segment Routing is the modern variant of source routing being standardised by the Internet Engineering Task Force. It enables routers and endhosts to better control the path followed by their packets in the network. We first describe the utilisation of the IPv6 Segment Routing extension header and motivate the main design choices. We then explain how we have modified the Linux kernel to support this new header and evaluate its performance. Finally, we demonstrate our implementation on two very different use cases : parental control and firewall load balancing.
