Abstract
In general, techniques are described for conflict resolution in source packet routing in networking. For example, a first router receives a first advertisement originated in a first Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) level. The first advertisement specifies a first prefix and a segment identifier (SID). The first router also receives a second advertisement originated in a second IGP level of the network. The second advertisement specifies a second prefix and the SID. Based on the first advertisement and the second advertisement specifying the same SID and based on the first IGP level having less visibility than the second IGP level, the first router selects the SID to be associated with a route to the first prefix.
