Summary: Today on Heavy Networking we go deep on segment routing. Segment routing is way to encode into a packet the path it should take through the network. And why would you want to do that? Lots of reasons, including traffic engineering and service chaining.<br> Sound scary? Step all over everything you think you know about dynamic routing and path selection?<br> To make sure you leave this podcast with a head full of segment routing knowledge is our guest, Ron Bonica, Distinguished Engineer at Juniper Networks, our sponsor for today’s detailed look into SR, SRv6, SRv6+, path computation, recovering from failure states, and more<br> We discuss:<br> <br> * An overview of segment routing and its use cases<br> * Ingress, transit, and egress nodes in an SR domain<br> * Key differences among segment routing options, including SR-MPLS, SRv6, and SRv6+<br> * How segment routing works with nodes that aren’t in an SR domain<br> * Hardware and software requirements to use segment routing<br> * More<br> <br> This is deep, detailed show, so grab a stack of virtual donuts and a pot of coffee, and let’s go down the rabbit hole.
