Segment Routing Solutions and the Future of Network Transport

/in /by

The current proliferation of applications and cloud-hosted content will increase exponentially. This will affect traffic between and within data centers. In this environment, segment routing becomes essential for integral network transport.

Thus, a segment routed network enables network transport to be more profitable, scalable, and with greater responsiveness. Furthermore, it can streamline the application and cloud-based content distribution across different network domains. This can improve the quality of the application experience.

Advantages of Segment Routing

Migrating from multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) to segment routing is complex. That is why the existing control planes must be replaced. A solution is to use functions with which both protocols can be executed on the same network.

Segment routing offers several advantages you should consider for your IT area, for example:

  • Greater reach to improve bandwidth leveraging.
  • Automation functions to simplify network administration and operations.
  • Network and traffic leveraging processes confer agility since they are automatic.
  • Application recognition in the network control plane.
  • Optimum quality for the application user experience.

Maximum Leveraging

The control plane requires an infrastructure with the right technologies. Thus, segment routing can be fully leveraged to provide solutions to network transport.

A model implementing hybrid networks in which LDP, MPLS, and IP technologies coexist ensures profitable network transport.

Some of these models offer opportunities, such as simplification of route design, implementation, and operations, without the need for integral signaling protocols, such as RSVP-TE. Moreover, several network domains can be controlled using a standard protocol. This reduces the number of control plane technologies required for this process.

The future of network transport calls for integral segment routing solutions, which will simplify the IT architecture and, in turn, reduce costs.

Incorporating more efficient technologies and processes at the control plane level will be very useful for operators and large service providers. They streamline network administration, make control easier, and allow a quick and automatic response to Internet traffic pattern changes.
