RFC 8666: OSPFv3 Extensions for Segment Routing

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

Segment Routing (SR) allows a flexible definition of end-to-end paths within IGP topologies by encoding paths as sequences of topological subpaths called "segments". These segments are advertised by the link-state routing protocols (IS-IS and OSPF). This document describes the OSPFv3 extensions required for Segment Routing with the MPLS data plane.
