In Segment Routing (SR), a prefix segment follows the least-cost path from its source to its destination. An Intradomain Gateway Protocol (IGP) calculates and identifies the least-cost path. A network
This is the first blog in a six part series on Segment Routing (SR) and SR Controllers. Network operators are under increasing pressure to rapidly deploy services with more stringent
Microsoft learned first hand the challenges of providing a great user experience at scale and high velocity while running Azure – one of the world’s largest cloud deployments. Some of
In previous blogs, we explained how a network operator can use Segment Routing (SR) to implement traffic engineering policy. In this blog, we will introduce Topology Independent – Loop Free Alternates (TI-LFA).
In modern times, when you need to buy something – be it a hardware tool to fix your house plumbing or a treat for your pet – people’s first preferred
If you are interested in learning the basics of Segment Routing (SR), you have arrived in the right place. Whether you are new to SR or simply looking to learn more
Juniper Networks has a distinguished record as a disruptor and a change leader in the networking industry. Juniper technologies helped fuel the rapid growth of the internet in the early
In last week’s blog, we followed a typical service provider through the early stages of SR deployment. While this blog did not reflect the actual deployment experiences of a real service
In previous blogs, we introduced Segment Routing (SR) paths, segments, and label stacks. Now that we are familiar with SR fundamentals, we can discuss the most common SR application, Traffic Engineering (TE).
In last week’s blog, we explained that a Segment Routing (SR) path is an ordered list of segments. We also explained that a segment is an instruction that causes a packet
