Enhanced VPN requires integration between the overlay VPN connectivity and the characteristics provided by the underlay network. A Network Resource Partition (NRP) is a subset of the network resources and associated policies on each of a connected set of links in the underlay network. An NRP could be used as the underlay to support one or a group of enhanced VPN services. In some network scenarios, each NRP can be associated with a unique Flexible Algorithm (Flex-Algo), which can provide constraint-path computation based on the customized topological constraints. This document specifies a mechanism to build Segment Routing (SR) based NRPs by combining SR Flex-Algo and IGP L2 bundles with minor extensions.}, }
