Segment Routing provides mechanism to define end-to-end paths within a topology by encoding paths as sequences of sub-paths or instructions. These sub-paths or instructions are referred to as “segments”. IS-IS Segment Routing (henceforth referred to as IS-IS SR) provides means to advertise such segments through IS-IS protocol.

E-Tree is an L2 EVPN service (defined in RFC8317) in which each attachment circuit (AC) is assigned the role of Root or Leaf. Root ACs can communicate with leaf ACs and other root ACs. Leaf ACs can only communicate with root ACs. Leaf AC to leaf AC traffic is blocked. In this implementation, ACs are configured at the VLAN level, and the forwarding rules are enforced using a combination of local configuration of leaf VLANs (for local hosts), and asymmetric route targets (for remote hosts).

With this feature, IPv4 routes may be resolved via MPLS-over-GRE next-hop group to be able to push one MPLS label and then GRE encapsulate the resulting labelled IPv4 packet before sending out of the egress interface.

NAT peer state synchronization feature provides redundancy and resiliency for dynamic NAT across a pair of devices in an attempt to mitigate the risk of single NAT device failure. The main motivation is that since the NAT state is shared between two switches, the failure of one switch can be tolerated since the other switch will retain the translations.
