Open Tutorial: Segment Routing (0.5 days)

Synopsis

  • The emergence of SDN is having a disruptive influence on the world of data networking and is leading to a fundamental re-think of how networks are architected.
  • This tutorial will provide an in-depth understanding of Segment Routing, one of the key elements/technologies in the SDN framework, with hands-on labs.

Target audience

  • Anyone currently operating an IP and/or MPLS network who is interested in understanding the impact of SDN with a view to implement elements of it in the near future.

Prerequisites

  • This tutorial is not an introduction.
  • It is assumed that the tutorial participants have working knowledge of IP routing, MPLS protocols and traffic-engineering, along with knowing how to use a router command line interface.
  • The lab exercises use IOS-XE (CSR1000v) CLI

We recommend the following Academy courses be completed before the start of the tutorial:
