Let’s Talk About Segment Routing

Feb. 19, 2021 | 12:03

Take a closer look at Segment Routing—what it is, its benefits, and how it’s different than previous architectures and approaches, like traditional MPLS. Hear about centralized versus distributed intelligence, network performance guarantees, efficient use of network resources, and the scalability of this approach. In this episode, Omdia’s Don Frey and Ciena’s James Glover dive into the timing of introducing Segment Routing into the network, what network operators need to do to prepare, and how they can gradually evolve to this existing architecture while co-existing with legacy IP implementations such as LDP and RSVP-TE.
