Abstract:

SRv6 deployment is faced with two major challenges of packet carrying efficiency and equipment processing capability. It is of great significance to discuss the SRv6 header compression technology for the large-scale deployment of SRv6. On the basis of analyzing the impact of SRv6 deployment, the development of main header compression technologies such as G-SRv6, uSID, and SRm6 is discussed, and these main schemes are compared. Finally, the deployment strategy of SRv6 header compression technology is proposed.

Key words: SRv6, compression, G-SRv6, uSID, SRm6
