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

In this book, you will learn about segment routing (SR), a cornerstone of modern networking, and topology-independent loop-free alternate (TI-LFA), with hands-on labs to hit the ground running. Written by a key contributor to global segment routing multiprotocol label switching (SR-MPLS) network designs, this book makes learning SR-MPLS both accessible and insightful. The book offers an extensive learning path, taking you from a traditional MPLS network using the label distribution protocol (LDP) to a modern SR-MPLS network using SR, and provides a holistic view of their interworking. You’ll also explore TI-LFA fast reroute protection scenarios, and find out how SR-MPLS strengthens network reliability with its source routing paradigm. Using intermediate system–to–intermediate system (IS-IS) as the foundational link-state routing protocol, the chapters ensure that you get a clear understanding of both SR and IS-IS. Following a consistent network topology throughout, this book enables smooth transitions between scenarios, helping you master the technical concepts without distraction. 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 with confidence.
