Segment Routing Tutorial
Dates: 11th June 2021
Location: bdNOG13
Venue: Online
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 half-day 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.
Pre-requisites
- 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-XR (XRv) CLI
We recommend the following Academy courses be completed before the start of the tutorial:
- Introduction to Multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) - https://academy.apnic.net/en/webinar-courses/introduction-to-mpls-and-mpls-layer3-vpn/
- Virtual lab for MPLS LDP and MPLS Layer3 VPN (Cisco IOS) - https://academy.apnic.net/en/virtual-labs/?labId=83872
