Episode 47 – Introduction To Segment Routing

Many routing experts believe that segment routing provides significant advantages over MPLS, and more specifically MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE). In this episode we take a look at some of the foundational concepts used in segment routing and some of the differentiators between it and MPLS.

• RFC 8402 – Segment Routing Architecture
• IETF Draft – Segment Routing with MPLS Data Plane
• IETF Draft – Segment Routing interworking with LDP
• IETF Draft – PCEP Extensions for Segment Routing
• IETF Draft – OSPF Extensions for Segment Routing
• IETF Draft – IS-IS Extensions for Segment Routing
• RFC 8476 – Signaling Maximum SID Depth (MSD) Using OSPF
• RFC 8491 – Signaling Maximum SID Depth (MSD) Using IS-IS
• NANOG Presentation on Maximum SID Depth
• J-RENS Presentation on Segment Routing Experience at ESnet
