How SRv6 Is Reinventing Internet Routing

Lucas and Luna dive into SRv6 (Segment Routing over IPv6), the new protocol quietly reshaping how major ISPs and cloud providers route traffic across the internet. They break down how SRv6 simplifies the network stack by embedding instructions directly into the packet header, eliminating complex MPLS labels and reducing CPU load on core routers. Using real-world examples from providers like Comcast and China Mobile, they explain how SRv6 enables traffic engineering, network slicing, and service chaining without the overhead of traditional protocols. They also discuss adoption challenges, including the need for IPv6 deployment and hardware upgrades. By the end, you'll understand why SRv6 is being called the biggest shift in routing since BGP — and why it matters for latency, reliability, and the future of the internet backbone. #SRv6 #SegmentRouting #IPv6 #InternetRouting #NetworkEngineering #BGP #MPLS #TrafficEngineering #NetworkInfrastructure #Comcast #ChinaMobile #ServiceProvider #CloudNetworking #NetworkAutomation #NetworkingProtocols #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
