A big problem with deploying traffic engineering is configuration complexity.

Segment Routing simplifies MPLS for the network operator – but not for the developer.

Methods of steering traffic into MPLS and Segment Routing LSP is one of the least standardized and most confusing parts of traffic engineering.

Despite many advantages of Segment Routing, some networks still prefer to use RSVP for traffic engineering – and they can have good reasons for this.

A quick public service announcement for anyone implementing BGP-LU or deploying it in a multivendor environment.

Since exploring the EPE basics, now it’s time to understand the building blocks of the solution.

Egress Peer Engineering extends regular BGP policies to provide more flexibility.

Segment Routing allows the network operator to deploy Traffic Engineering even with the most basic routers that support the bare minimum of features.

Segment Routing was supposed to make MPLS easier and give more power to network operators.

MPLS is such a user-friendly technology it needs a special label that does nothing.
