Detecting network black holes (BHs) proves to be a formidable undertaking, given their propensity to disrupt services for particular traffic flows due to device misconfigurations. The intricacies escalate within the framework of Segment Routing (SR) due to the necessity of an encapsulation mechanism for enforcing segment lists on packets. While existing active probing tools targeting IPv6 BH detection fall short in the context of SR, this project aims to confront the challenge of identifying SR Black Holes within SR domains. In this endeavor, we draw upon an experimental showcase illustrating the creation of an SR Black Hole to underscore the limitations inherent in active probing-based tools. To surmount these constraints, we introduce a passive framework named Segment Routing Black Holes Detection (SR-BHD). SR-BHD capitalizes on specific traffic counters present in SR-capable nodes to validate the conservation of flow principle across network elements. Functioning by continuously monitoring traffic flow within SR domains, SR-BHD offers an alternative to active probing. During the experimental evaluation, various scenarios are simulated, and SR environments are emulated to assess the efficacy of SR-BHD. The outcomes reveal that SR-BHD adeptly discerns SR BHs by identifying any deviation from the flow conservation principle. This capability enables network administrators to promptly recognize and rectify BHs, mitigating the impact on traffic flows and ensuring a dependable network performance. In accordance with proper citations, the SR-BHD framework stands as an innovative approach for passive SR Black Hole detection, providing an efficient alternative to active probing. Its adaptability within SR domains and adept handling of challenges posed by the encapsulation mechanism solidify its status as a valuable tool for network monitoring and failure detection within SR architectures. Overall, this project makes a substantial contribution to enhancing the reliability and performance of SR networks by addressing the specific issue of detecting SR Black Holes. The SR-BHD framework emerges as a pragmatic and effective solution, empowering network administrators to proactively identify and address BHs, thereby guaranteeing uninterrupted and efficient traffic flow within SR domains.
