Segment Routing (SR) will revolutionize routing in the MPLS backbone. By extending the routing protocols to include label distribution with global significance, the use of an additional protocol such as LDP can be dispensed with. However, this alone would not be a reason to replace LDP. SR also promises to eliminate the many disadvantages of classic MPLS traffic engineering (TE) with RSVP signalling and, in conjunction with SDN controllers, to make TE scalable, optimized and manageable. In addition, an SR network has the ability to guarantee fast rerouting (FRR) for all links in the backbone and can be seamlessly integrated into an existing MPLS backbone. However, SR can also score points outside the MPLS backbone with its simple and scalable source routing concept with application options for service chaining or egress load sharing.

Course Contents
-
- Motivation and comparison with the classic MPLS solution
- SR architecture with MPLS data plane
- SR architecture with IPv6 data plane
- SR integration in IS-IS, OSPF and BGP
- Interaction of classic LDP with SR (migration phase)
- Effects on existing services such as L2 or L3 MPLS VPNs
- Topology Independent Fast Rerouting (TI FRR) with SR
- Comparison of classic MPLS-TE with RSVP to TE
- TE via an SDN controller

Classroom training
- Do you prefer the classic training method? A course in one of our Training Centers, with a competent trainer and the direct exchange between all course participants? Then you should book one of our classroom training dates!
-
Hybrid training
- Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.
