A poor link - a book written by Huwaei doesn't scream "This is a widely used standard"

Wikipedia would be a far better link, as it has links to RFCs, Cisco, Juniper Arista etc pages on it, and generally lets normal people who likely haven't heard of it read about it

Sheesh, it take real guts to dismiss a book written by engineers who themselves directly involved in coming up with open industry networking standards, and currently working with arguably the biggest networking and communication company in the world. This take the idiom of "judge a book by its cover" to a whole new level.

There has been a long history of Huawei stealing IP as well as generating less than useful drafts/standards in the IETF. There are very real reasons to judge this book by its cover.

Sorry to be blunt, but there is a real reason the idiom existed for several hundred years. Perhaps you should read the book so we can have more civilized discussions?

Or perhaps you could link to a wider range of literature rather than try to get people to buy a $100 book

That's fair enough but to simply dismissed a book by the fact that it's written by some qualified and professional company engineers is not acceptable. To be honest there are only two books on segment routing at the moment both are over $100, just trying to be helpful on the book because the recommended one is what I have. Here is the main website for segment routing for the IETF documents, software, papers, etc:
