The Future of Routing: Built on SRv6

Beyond MPLS: The New Era of Routing‍

At Telecom District, we understand that today's enterprise connectivity demands a more agile, flexible network ready to scale without complexities. That's why we've invested in SRv6 (Segment Routing over IPv6), a modern architecture that redefines how data is routed in large infrastructures.

SRv6 not only replaces traditional MPLS, it surpasses it by eliminating the dependency on multiple protocols, reducing operational complexity, and enabling the implementation of advanced traffic policies with unprecedented efficiency.

Why MPLS is no longer sufficient

Despite being a standard for years, MPLS faces increasingly difficult challenges to sustain in modern networks:

• Complex infrastructure: Requires multiple protocols (LDP, RSVP, etc.) and detailed configurations at each node.
• Reduced flexibility: Changing routing policies involves deep and slow interventions.
• Limited scalability: Its structure does not respond well to the accelerated growth or the diversity of services demanded by today's companies.

Key benefits of SRv6

SRv6 radically simplifies network operation. By encapsulating all routing logic directly into IPv6 headers, it eliminates the need for additional protocols such as LDP or RSVP, facilitating automation, monitoring, and management from a single console. This architecture enables a smarter and orchestrated end-to-end network.

Furthermore, it grants unprecedented flexibility. Thanks to the “segments” defined in each node, it is possible to customize the path each packet takes according to the needs of the service or application. This enables new traffic engineering capabilities and allows the implementation of advanced network policies in a matter of minutes.

In terms of scalability, SRv6 is designed from the ground up for IPv6 environments, allowing it to operate efficiently in large, distributed networks without compromising performance. This robustness is complemented by the ability to chain network functions—such as firewalls, balancers, or NATs—directly into the data path, reducing the complexity of configurations and accelerating service delivery.

Finally, being based on IPv6, SRv6 aligns with the natural evolution of enterprise networks and the Internet, ensuring compatibility with emerging trends such as IoT, 5G, and edge computing.

Use cases that were not possible before

• Dynamic networks: Modify routes and policies in minutes, not days.
• On-demand services: Activate specific functions only when you need them.
• Frictionless expansion: Integrate new locations or clouds without redesigning the network.
