Network Programming with SRv6 ; Belgium

This PhD thesis defines the Network Programming for IPv6 also known as Segment Routing (SR) with IPv6 data plane (SRv6). SRv6 leverages the source routing paradigm by allowing a source to engineer a flow across a network as a program: i.e. a combination of traffic engineering objectives, service chainings, and Virtual Private Network (VPN) instantiations. The network program is encoded in the Segment Routing (SR) extension Header (SRH) of a network packet as an ordered list of 128-bit segments. Each segment represents an instruction (topological, service, VPN). The first segment is placed in t... Mehr ...
