Segment Routing Introduction

Home » Webinars » Internetworking Technologies » Segment Routing Introduction

Segment Routing is probably the most significant addition to the MPLS control plane in the last decade. It significantly simplifies MPLS deployments (for example, BGP-free network core or L2VPN/L3VPN), reduces the number of protocols needed in an MPLS-enabled network, and enables stateless MPLS traffic engineering.

In this webinar Jeff Tantsura, chair of IETF Routing Area Working Group, explains the basics of Segment Routing and its operation with an SDN controller.

The last section contains the slide deck for Ivan's Hands-On SR-MPLS presentation delivered @ ITNOG 10 in April 2026. The slide deck will give you an overview of the lab topologies used during the presentation. Use the link to Lab Topologies to try them out, either in your own environment, or in a GitHub Codespace.

SR-MPLS Workshop with Labs

The SR-MPLS Workshop contains over a dozen lab topologies you can use to build SR-MPLS labs using IS-IS, OSPFv2, IPv4, and IPv6. The advanced part of the workshop uses SR-MPLS to build a BGP-free core, MPLS/VPN service, and EVPN service.
