In one example, a method includes receiving, at a network node of a network deploying segment routing, a data packet, wherein an IPv6 header of the data packet includes a source specific function associated with a source address of the data packet and a destination specific function associated with a destination address of the data packet; determining, at the network node, whether a source flag in an End node address of the network node is set; upon determining that the source flag is set, extracting, by the network node, the source specific function; and executing, by the network node, the source specific function for the data packet.
