What is Segment Routing in Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) & How Does It Work?

In this blog, we will learn segment routing in MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching). It’s a new label-switching technology that is going to enhance the working of IP and MPLS networks. SR (Segment Routing) replaces LDP (Label Discovery Protocol) in the existing MPLS network. In a traditional MPLS network, if a service provider wants to do […]

What is Shortest Path Bridging?

Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) is an 802.1aq IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers) standard whose important focus was to highlight and address the challenges of Spanning-tree. But SPB can do much more than STPs emerge: SPB also provides MPLS-like VPN (Virtual Private Network) services but is very significantly simpler to deploy and maintain also. […]
