SRv6 – Segment Routing with IPv6

Concepts and Applications

ExperTeach Networking Logo

Segment routing has experienced a real success story in carrier backbones, but also in the infrastructures of larger company networks. While MPLS-based implementation of segment routing was predominantly used in the past, the advantages of SRv6, the variant for IPv6 infrastructures, are currently being increasingly recognized.

In fact, there is even a noticeable trend towards replacing MPLS with SRv6 in backbones. One piece of good news is that all of the performance features that can be used for MPLS and that we have come to love are also available with SRv6, such as scalable traffic engineering and fast rerouting, as well as the use of an SDN controller for automation.

SRv6 gains additional potential because it only requires a routed IPv6 network. This allows greater coverage to be achieved and the underlying IPv6 routing to be optimized.

Course Contents

  • Motivation and comparison with the segment routing solution with MPLS
  • SRv6 basic functions
  • Implementation with the segment routing header
  • Optimization through micro SIDs (uSIDs)
  • Traffic engineering with SRv6 and SDN control
  • Loop Free Alternate
  • Interworking with MPLS-based segment routing
  • Migration to SRv6
  • Use of SRv6 in mobile networks

Practical exercises in a test network with Cisco IOS XR are used to illustrate the interrelationships. 

The detailed digital documentation package, consisting of an e-book and PDF, is included in the price of the course.

Premium Course Documents

In addition to the digital documentation package, the exclusive Premium Print Package is also available to you.

  • High-quality color prints of the ExperTeach documentation
  • Exclusive folder in an elegant design
  • Document pouch in backpack shape
  • Elegant LAMY ballpoint pen
  • Practical notepad
Premium Print
The Premium Print Package can be added during the ordering process for € 150,- plus VAT (only for classroom participation).

Target Group

The event is aimed at network planners and administrators who want to get to know the possibilities of SRv6 and gain the necessary knowledge for integration or migration in their own network.

Knowledge Prerequisites

Good knowledge of IPv6 networks and especially routing with IS-IS or OSPF and BGP is required. Experience with the MPLS-based variant of segment routing is recommended.

This knowledge can be acquired in the following courses:
MPLS - Implementing Cisco MPLS
MPLS - Architecture & Design
OSPF - Routing in Enterprise Networks
IS-IS - Routing in Provider Networks
Segment Routing: MPLS and SDN

Alternatives

Book this course together with Segment Routing: MPLS and SDN – Concepts and Applications as PowerPackage Segment Routing for the discounted price of € 3.595,-.

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.

Online training

You wish to attend a course in online mode? We offer you online course dates for this course topic. To attend these seminars, you need to have a PC with Internet access (minimum data rate 1Mbps), a headset when working via VoIP and optionally a camera. For further information and technical recommendations, please refer to.

Tailor-made courses

You need a special course for your team? In addition to our standard offer, we will also support you in creating your customized courses, which precisely meet your individual demands. We will be glad to consult you and create an individual offer for you.
