Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) is a modern approach to traffic engineering and network programmability. It encodes instructions, called segments, directly into the IPv6 packet header. While SRv6 offers flexibility and simplifies network design, its reliance on 128-bit addresses for every segment introduces significant overhead. This can be inefficient in large-scale deployments, particularly in 5G …
Segment Routing divides a network path into several segments which may include Nodes and links. And assigns a segment ID (SID) to each segment and forwarding node. A prefix segment identifier (SID) usually identifies a segment routing tunnel destination which is the loopback ip address of the destination node. An Adjacency Segment Identifier (adj-SID) is …
SRv6 is a new source routing paradigm which means that the source can define the path that the packet will take. There are already some other ways to do this “Source Routing” but SRv6 is candidate to be easiest way. It is possible to run Segment Routing on MPLS Data and IPv6 Data plane. To …
