Segment Routing (SR) is a kind of source routing technology which means that the source can define the path that the packet will take. In source routing with SR, the hosts determine the path, encodes the path information to the packet header. Segment Routing divides a network into several segments and assign a segment ID …
TI-LFA also takes into account is SRLG exist in the network. Shared Risk Link Group (SRLG) is a set of links at the same risk of faults. If a link in an SRLG fails, other links also fail. In this case, if the other link in the SRLG functions as FRR backup to protect the failed …
TI-LFA can add one or more segment when switching traffic to backup and loop free alternate path. According to below topology let’s assume we want to protect not only the link between Node-A and Node-B but we also want to protect Node-B. Without TI-LFA, we can’t protect Node-B. According to formula it seems it isn’t possible …
Before Segment Routing was introduced, IP FRR and Loop-Free Alternates (LFAs) were not widely deployed. In these implementations the level of coverage depended on the network topology. When SR combined with FRR techniques, Fast Reroute can deliver 100% network coverage regardless of the topology. That is called TI-LFA (Topology Independent – Loop Free Alternate) Here …
