Segment Routing

Scenario
All devices in this topology are configured to run SR with no LDP, with the exception of R5, which is LDP-only. This comparison looks at R4, which is configured to run SR and act as a mapping server so that those nodes that do not run LDP know what LFIB entry to install when forwarding traffic to R5’s loopback. This also highlights a key different between IOS-XE and IOS-XR Segment Routing capabilities in that IOS-XE does not support the configuration or forwarding of IPv6 Node-SIDs.
