Segment Routing in MPLS Networks: Transition from traditional MPLS to SR-MPLS with TI-LFA FRR

Rate this book
Unlock the power of Segment Routing (SR-MPLS) and fast reroute (FRR) techniques through immersive hands-on labs, revolutionizing your understanding and implementation of next-gen MPLS protocol

Key FeaturesWork through practical labs to learn how to thoroughly understand and implement MPLS, SR-MPLS, and FRR techniquesMaster SR-MPLS and LDP interoperability for seamless integration and efficient network operationLearn TI-LFA FRR methods and their implementation for seamless SR-MPLS deployment in productionPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook DescriptionLearn Segment Routing (SR), a cornerstone of modern networking, and Topology Independent Loop-Free Alternate (TI-LFA) with hands-on labs designed for network engineers and enthusiasts looking to hit the ground running. Written by Hemant Sharma, a key contributor to global SR-MPLS network designs, this book makes learning SR-MPLS both accessible and insightful.

The book offers a comprehensive learning path, taking you from traditional MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) network using LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) to modern SR-MPLS network using Segment Routing and provides a holistic view of their interworking. The book also dives into TI-LFA fast reroute protection scenarios, showing you how SR-MPLS strengthens network reliability with its source routing paradigm. Using IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System) as the foundational link-state routing protocol, it ensures you gain knowledge in both SR and IS-IS.

Following a consistent network topology throughout, the guide ensures smooth transitions between scenarios, helping you focus on mastering the technical concepts without distractions.

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.
