Demystifying SRv6 BE: Streamlining MPLS in IP Networks
Understanding SRv6 BE in Networking Traditional MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) relies on control plane protocols like LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) and RSVP-TE. SRv6 BE (Segment Routing over IPv6 Best Effort) simplifies this by utilizing only one service SID (Segment Identifier) for guiding packet forwarding in best-effort mode on an IP network. Unlike traditional MPLS, SRv6… Continue reading Demystifying SRv6 BE: Streamlining MPLS in IP Networks
Optimizing Network Traffic with SRV6 TE Policy: A Comprehensive Guide
What Is SRV6 TE Policy? SRV6 TE Policy utilizes the source routing mechanism of SR to direct packet forwarding based on a predefined list of segments encapsulated by the headend. The concept of SRv6 TE Policy can be likened to navigating through a map, as illustrated in Figure below, to elaborate on SRv6 TE Policy.… Continue reading Optimizing Network Traffic with SRV6 TE Policy: A Comprehensive Guide
Unveiling SRv6’s Elegance: Ensuring Faultless Reliability in IP Bearer Networks
Introduction Imagine a world where important services like government, finance, and healthcare rely on super-strong networks. These networks need to be available almost all the time—99.99% to be exact. And when it comes to the latest 5G services, like the ones for super-fast and reliable communication, they demand even more—99.999% availability. Think of it like… Continue reading Unveiling SRv6’s Elegance: Ensuring Faultless Reliability in IP Bearer Networks
Common SRV6 SIDS
Introduction At present, common SRV6 SIDs are primarily categorized as path or service SIDs. For instance, End and End.X SIDs signify nodes and links, respectively, while End.DT4 and End.DT6 SIDs designate IPv4 and IPv6 VPN instances, correspondingly. As services continue to evolve, the introduction of a broader array of service SIDs has become commonplace. The… Continue reading Common SRV6 SIDS
