Segment Routing Overview

0:00 - [Narrator] Demand for internet connectivity,

0:02 network services and cloud access is soaring,

0:05 and there's no sign of it slowing down.

0:08 Mobile data traffic is growing by 42% annually

0:11 and expected to grow further with 5G.

0:14 Cloud adoption is ubiquitous and still surging,

0:17 with 96% of organizations using it.

0:19 The growth in IOT means more devices

0:22 connecting to your network than ever before.

0:25 Expectations are high.

0:27 End users want the same performance

0:28 from network hosted applications as they get

0:31 from applications running locally.

0:33 Here's the catch.

0:35 As cloud content and services go viral,

0:38 network traffic patterns are changing;

0:40 becoming less deterministic.

0:41 Yet, our networks remain static in nature

0:44 at a time when they need to be more flexible, dynamic,

0:48 and provide an immediate response to new traffic patterns.

0:51 Segment routing provides a solution.

0:54 Segment routing is changing the way providers

0:56 design, implement, and operate their network.

0:59 It simplifies network design and management

1:02 by moving network state information into the packet.

1:05 In segment routing, a path computation engine,

1:07 on the ingress router or centralized on a controller,

1:10 determines the path a packet will take through the network.

1:14 Paths can be mapped to specific customers,

1:17 specific traffic flows, classes of service,

1:20 and even to specific applications.

1:22 Changes are made through the controller's interface

1:25 and pushed to the ingress nodes automatically,

1:27 greatly simplifying network management

1:30 and making it very agile and scalable.

1:32 Under the management of a capable

1:34 segment routing controller,

1:35 networks are able to scale and recover faster.

1:38 Segment routing can also be used

1:40 for network function service chaining,

1:42 which maps network services to end users and applications.

1:46 It certainly sounds promising, but how do you get there?

1:50 Juniper Networks is leading the way

1:52 with networking solutions that achieve

1:54 the speed and efficiency required

1:56 to handle internet traffic growth

1:58 and its increasingly dynamic patterns.

2:01 At Juniper Networks,

2:02 segment routing is integral to our vision

2:04 for an end-to-end transport architecture

2:07 that simplifies network design,

2:09 implementation, and operations.

2:11 Juniper ASIC technology supports advanced

2:14 segment routing features and services.

2:17 JUNOS provides a common control plane across the network.

2:21 IPv4 and IPv6 fabrics are supported

2:24 using multiple forwarding planes.

2:26 SR-MPLS, SRv6, and SRm6.

2:30 Juniper also provides the industry's

2:33 most advanced and robust SR controller, NorthStar.

2:37 By designing a network that scales more efficiently,

2:40 responds dynamically to changing conditions,

2:42 and ensures a stringent application quality of service,

2:46 Juniper is leading the charge

2:48 to architect the network of the future.
