Segment-routing TE + TI-LFA possible? And does SR-TE have a fast reroute mechanism at all

Whatsup Reddit,

I was Reading an article on the web explaining how segment-routing TE doesn"t go very well hand-in-hand with TI-LFA because intermediate routers in the traffic engineerd path would have problems linking to which actual node-SID an adjacency-SID could belong. (Basically, if the path contains an Adjacency-SID, then it would be difficult for an intermediate node to find out to which node that sid belongs)

However i was wondering how such a populair protocol as SR is supposed to provide fast rerouting capabilities then..

I did Some research on Google and saw that Cisco has published an article explaining how a router that initiaties a tunnel can fast reroute the traffic to another router incase the First hop dies, But nothing About support from intermediate nodes along a path. There was a draft named "draft-hegde-spring-node-protection-for-sr-te-paths-05" But i could not really find support from major vendors when it comes to articles or information whether this ever got implemented.

Does anyone here have any familiarity with SR, and knows how fast reroute is supposed to be configured with SR?

Appreciate it
