Abstract
An apparatus and method for providing dynamic network programming based on a selective binding segment of segment routing in a communication system is provided. A method by which a first service programmable network (SPN) node operates in a communication system includes: receiving a first packet from a zeroth SPN node; identifying a segment routing header (SRH) of the first packet, the SRH including a segment list; identifying a selective binding segment based on the segment list; requesting a processing result from a network service function (NSF) corresponding to the segment list when the segment list involves the selective binding segment; receiving a color value according to the processing result from the NSF; dynamically selecting a segment list according to the color value; and transmitting a second packet, to which a new SRH including the selected segment list and a new header are added, to a second SPN node.
