Waypoint Routing Without an SRH

Standard traffic engineering requires attaching a dedicated Segment Routing Header (SRH) to packets to guide them along complex path paths. However, adding an extra extension header can increase packet sizes and require core switches to perform extra processing cycles.

❌ The Header Burden: In ultra-low latency environments like high-frequency trading or real-time AI cluster communications, avoiding any extra extension header overhead is critical to protecting application performance.

🚀 The Stateless Shortcut: SRv6 Tek Innovations executes complex traffic steering completely Without an SRH by combining single uSID carrier headers with strategic Waypoint Node advertisement.

Our custom design optimizes packet forwarding efficiency:
✅ Single-Address Steering: Traffic is guided through complex paths simply by updating the standard IPv6 destination address field at each waypoint, removing the need for an SRH entirely.
✅ Waypoint BSID Advertising: Intermediate waypoint routers advertise specialized Binding SIDs directly to the head-end controller, allowing the network to stitch together paths using standard addresses.
✅ True Hardware Line-Rate Forwarding: Core switches process packets using standard, single-cycle IPv6 lookup tables, maximizing throughput and minimizing latency.

Streamline your network paths and eliminate extension header overhead while maintaining absolute control over traffic steering.
