Summary:Systems and methods for enhancing Segment Routing (SR) protocols are provided for enabling the stitching of a remote SR policy to a local SR policy. A method can include obtaining a Segment Routing (SR) policy for routing a packet along a path in a downstream domain, the SR policy including at least a destination field and a color field, the destination field defining an end-point of the path in the downstream domain, the end-point representing a destination node or service instance, the color field defining the path in the downstream domain, and storing the SR policy in the database.
