This document provides an outline for a project comparing SRv4 and SRv6. It begins with an introduction to traditional networks, MPLS, and segment routing. It explains that segment routing aims to overcome issues with MPLS while retaining its advantages. The objectives are to study traditional networks and MPLS, implement both SRv4 and SRv6, and compare the two versions of segment routing. Finally, it includes a project time plan spanning October to March.

5. Introduction
Multi-protocol label switching
(MPLS)
The most common way of networking, traditional networking uses fixed-function and
dedicated hardware and network devices, including switches and routers, to control
network traffic.2 These devices have individual functions that work well together and
help to support the network.

(MPLS)
Segment Routing (SR)
Traditional Network
Multiprotocol Label Switching, or MPLS, is a networking technology that routes traffic using the
shortest path based on “labels,” rather than network addresses, to handle forwarding over
private wide area networks. As a scalable and protocol-independent solution, MPLS assigns
labels to each data packet, controlling the path the packet follows. MPLS greatly improves the
speed of traffic, so users don’t experience downtime when connected to the network.
Introduction

7. Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) Although the MPLS forwarding plane is
praised thanks to MPLS's label switching concept, the MPLS control plane is
criticized due to defects such as complex protocols, poor extensibility, and
difficult deployment/maintenance. As the two major protocols used in the MPLS
control plane have some disadvantages LDP, which distributes labels based on
IGP path computation results, mainly has the following disadvantages:
 Because LDP depends on IGP but both protocols are independent of each
other, LDP-IGP asynchronization exists, resulting in traffic blackholing.
 LDP can forward traffic only through the shortest path and does not support
either traffic engineering or path planning.
SR aims to overcome the issues associated with traditional MPLS networks while
also retaining the advantages of such networks
Problem Statement

8. The aim of this project is to provide comprehensive survey and detailed
study between SRv4 & SRv6 , with exploration how segment Routing can
improve the performance of networks.
Aim

9.  To study Traditional network and MPLS
 To study segment routing
 To study how Segment Routing can improve networks
 To Implement SR-v4 and SR-v6
 To compare SR-v4 and SR-v6
Objectives

10. Basic Concepts:
Segment Routing
In this project we will learn how SR works, but let's see the basic
concepts of Segment routing first.
 Prefix segment: Identifies the prefix of a destination
address on a network and is identified by a prefix SID.
 Adjacency segment: Identifies an adjacency on a
network and is identified by an adjacency SID
 Node segment: Identifies a specific node. Node
segments are special prefix segments. If an IP address
is configured as a prefix for a node's loopback
interface, the prefix SID of the node is the node SID

11. Segment routing (SR) is a source routing technology, which adds a segment label stack to packets on
the ingress node of a tunnel to control the transmission path or the packels on tie entire network. SR
optimizes IP and MPLS network capabilities and provides Traffic engineering in a simple manner.
