The Complete Guide to Label Switching and Segment Routing
MPLS has been the backbone of service provider networks for two decades. Segment Routing modernises it with source-routing paradigms that eliminate LDP and RSVP-TE complexity. This course covers both — because you'll encounter both in the real world.
Curriculum
- MPLS fundamentals — Label operations, PHP, LDP, and LFIB
- L3VPN — VRF design, MP-BGP, route targets, and inter-AS options A/B/C
- Traffic engineering — RSVP-TE with FRR, then the migration to SR-TE with ODN
- Segment Routing MPLS — Node SIDs, Adjacency SIDs, TI-LFA, and Flex-Algo
- SRv6 — Network programming with SRv6, uSID, and EVPN over SRv6
- Network slicing — Using Flex-Algo for 5G transport slicing
