Unlock the power of Segment Routing (SR-MPLS) and fast reroute (FRR) techniques through immersive hands-on labs, revolutionizing your understanding and implementation of next-gen MPLS protocol Key Features Work through practical labs to learn how to thoroughly understand and implement MPLS, SR-MPLS, and FRR techniques Master SR-MPLS and LDP interoperability for seamless integration and efficient network operation Learn TI-LFA FRR methods and their implementation for seamless SR-MPLS deployment in production Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook Book DescriptionLearn Segment Routing (SR), a cornerstone of modern networking, and Topology Independent Loop-Free Alternate (TI-LFA) with hands-on labs designed for network engineers and enthusiasts looking to hit the ground running. Written by Hemant Sharma, a key contributor to global SR-MPLS network designs, this book makes learning SR-MPLS both accessible and insightful. The book offers a comprehensive learning path, taking you from traditional MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) network using LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) to modern SR-MPLS network using Segment Routing and provides a holistic view of their interworking. The book also dives into TI-LFA fast reroute protection scenarios, showing you how SR-MPLS strengthens network reliability with its source routing paradigm. Using IS-IS (Intermediate System to Intermediate System) as the foundational link-state routing protocol, it ensures you gain knowledge in both SR and IS-IS. Following a consistent network topology throughout, the guide ensures smooth transitions between scenarios, helping you focus on mastering the technical concepts without distractions. By the end of this book, you’ll have a solid grasp of MPLS, SR-MPLS, and TI-LFA fast reroute techniques, ready to tackle real-world networking challenges.What you will learn Gain a complete understanding of MPLS and its role in network infrastructures Develop practical skills for implementing SR-MPLS using Cisco IOS-XRv9k and real-life use cases Acquire hands-on experience with MPLS networks using IS-IS and LDP protocols Orchestrate the gradual transition from traditional MPLS to SR-MPLS networks and manage their interworking Master fast reroute techniques in SR-MPLS networks, including TI-LFA, for efficient traffic rerouting Implement path protection methods to ensure network resilience and stability Who this book is forThis book is for network engineers and professionals who want to deepen their expertise in Segment Routing and Topology Independent Loop-Free Alternate. It offers a hands-on approach to mastering SR, LDP interworking, and TI-LFA fast reroute techniques, making it ideal for those transitioning from MPLS using LDP to SR-MPLS. With a focus on practical labs and real-world scenarios, it’s perfect for those looking to enhance their knowledge of SR, MPLS, and IS-IS, while improving network reliability and performance. A basic understanding of IS-IS routing concepts is recommended.
