What is Segment Routing?

I came across an interesting topic today:Segment Routing which I like to share with you.


Segment Routing is a new business model to simplify the MPLS network.

One of the key characteristics of segment routing is simplicity:

●   From a configuration perspective, the number of lines required to enable segment routing is minimum, usually three lines of configuration.

●   From an operational perspective, it simplifies the operation of an MPLS network by making the label value constant across the core of the network.

●   From a scale and simplicity perspective, segment routing is especially powerful in the era of SDN with application requirements programming the network behavior and where traffic differentiation and engineering are done at a finer granularity (for example, application-specific).
