The EOS-4.36.1 release introduces SSU support for SRv6 uN. This allows for SSU with SRv6 uN configuration, with negligible impact on active traffic flows.

Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) Micro Segment (uSID) is a high-efficiency architecture that drastically reduces packet header overhead by compressing and packing multiple routing instructions into a single 128-bit IPv6 address. To ensure robust operational visibility, this feature integrates native endpoint counters that track real-time packet and byte volumes for every endpoint operation (such as uN processing), providing network operators with granular telemetry for streamlined debuggability, path verification, and traffic analysis.

SRv6 is the segment routing using IPv6 Data plane. The segment ID is encoded as an IPv6 address. The Micro-Segment extension to SRv6 has representation of SIDs to enable compressing multiple of them into a single IPv6 address. 

In Segment Routing, Adjacency Segment (Adj-SID) directs a node to forward the packet over a specific link or a set of links to the remote node. This feature adds support for statically configured SRv6 Adj-SIDs using micro-SIDs, also referred to as uA. This feature builds on the base SRv6 support described in SRv6 uN Support TOI.
