How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T7835863 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: SRv6 Context triple: [EVPN, usesDataPlaneEncapsulation, SRv6]
-
A.
RSVP-TE
RSVP-TE is a signaling protocol used in MPLS networks to establish and manage traffic-engineered label-switched paths with specific resource and QoS constraints.
-
B.
IS-IS for IPv6
IS-IS for IPv6 is an extension of the IS-IS interior gateway routing protocol that enables dynamic routing and topology discovery in IPv6 networks.
-
C.
MPLS
MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) is a high-performance routing technique that directs data through a network using short path labels instead of long network addresses, enabling efficient traffic engineering and VPN services.
-
D.
BGP-4+
BGP-4+ is an enhanced version of the Border Gateway Protocol designed to support routing for IPv6 networks.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
Subject: SRv6 Description of subject: SRv6 (Segment Routing over IPv6) is a network architecture that leverages IPv6 extension headers to encode segment-based forwarding paths, enabling flexible traffic engineering and service chaining.
