Segment Routing in MPLS Networks

Unlock the power of segment routing (SR-MPLS) and fast reroute (FRR) techniques through immersive hands-on labs to revolutionize your understanding and implementation of next-gen MPLS protocol Key Features Carry out practical labs to thoroughly grasp and execute MPLS, SR-MPLS, and FRR techniques Master SR-MPLS and LDP interoperability for seamless integration and efficient network operation Implement TI-LFA FRR methods for seamless SR-MPLS deployment in production Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook Book DescriptionIn this book, you will learn about segment routing (SR), a cornerstone of modern networking, and topology-independent loop-free alternate (TI-LFA), with hands-on labs to hit the ground running. Written by a key contributor to global segment routing multiprotocol label switching (SR-MPLS) network designs, this book makes learning SR-MPLS both accessible and insightful. The book offers an extensive learning path, taking you from a traditional MPLS network using the label distribution protocol (LDP) to a modern SR-MPLS network using SR, and provides a holistic view of their interworking. You’ll also explore TI-LFA fast reroute protection scenarios, and find out how SR-MPLS strengthens network reliability with its source routing paradigm. Using intermediate system–to–intermediate system (IS-IS) as the foundational link-state routing protocol, the chapters ensure that you get a clear understanding of both SR and IS-IS. Following a consistent network topology throughout, this book enables smooth transitions between scenarios, helping you master the technical concepts without distraction. By the end of this book, you’ll have a solid grasp of MPLS, SR-MPLS, and TI-LFA fast reroute techniques, ready to tackle real-world networking challenges…
