Transition from traditional MPLS to SR-MPLS with TI-LFA FRR
This book is a practical guide to learning all about MPLS and SR-MPLS networks, covering key concepts, hands-on labs, and advanced topics, such as fast rerouting (FRR) and TI-LFA for efficient traffic management and network resilience.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Gain a complete understanding of MPLS and its role in network infrastructures
- Develop practical skills to implement SR-MPLS using Cisco IOS-XRv9k and real-life use cases
- Acquire hands-on experience with MPLS networks using the 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
