Finally, I’ve got a chance to take a dive into Segment Routing concepts, operations, and other aspects.
I was labbing with the migration scenario which is described in “DAY ONE: MIGRATING TO SEGMENT ROUTING”.
Have got a lot of fun, recommended.
I’m going to setup SRv6 topology as well, once I get the time.
One more time, I would refresh my tender memories about MPLS l3vpn options. By the way, I recently faced with D option again.
By the way, few epic black books about network testing/validation methodology from Ixia.
Ixia Black Book - Video over IP
Ixia Black Book - Advanced MPLS
Ixia Black Book - QoS Validation
At the first look, RouterOS works fine as BGP router-reflector for vpnv4 and vpls. In other words, reliably,
we can use MikroTik Cloud Core Router CCR1016-12S-1S+($495.00) with 9 cores x 1.2GHz CPU and 2GB RAM as large ISP scale RR.
Shortly, doesn’t work cause BGP ipv4 label distribition isn’t supported. Also, vi-style policy editing is gothic, I think.
Now, I have pilot installation of EMC Ionix and network topology discovering process in progress. Looks awesome.

New really interesting product from Cisco:
