JN0-363 Exam Dumps : Service Provider Routing and Switching, Specialist (JNCIS-SP)

Segment routing is a source routing paradigm that allows a source router to define the path that a packet will take through the network by assigning an ordered list of segments—identifiers that specify a forwarding path for the packet through the network. Segment Routing can be implemented over an MPLS architecture or with IPv6 (SRv6).

A. Segment routing does not require a full mesh of adjacencies or state per transit path in the network, which is often the case with conventional MPLS signaling protocols like RSVP-TE. It leverages the existing IGP topology for forwarding without the need to maintain a state for each LSP (Label Switched Path), hence requiring very little resources to maintain.

B. In segment routing, labels (or segments) are distributed via IGP routing protocols like OSPF or IS-IS with extensions to carry segment routing information. These protocols are enhanced with Segment Routing extensions to distribute labels. For example, OSPFv2 is extended with Segment Routing extensions defined in RFC 8665.

C. This statement is not entirely correct. While it is true that segment routing does not require the maintenance of a state for each path (LSP), the concept of "segment routing adjacencies" is a mischaracterization. Segment routing leverages the existing adjacencies formed by the underlying IGP.

D. Label assignments in segment routing are not advertised through LDP (Label Distribution Protocol) updates. Segment routing does away with LDP and instead uses IGP extensions to distribute labels.

In segment routing, SIDs (Segment Identifiers) are used to identify different types of segments that can be traversed. A node SID represents an instruction to route a packet to a particular node, and an adjacency SID represents an instruction to route a packet over a specific link or adjacency between two nodes.

In an MPLS network, the types of routers include ingress routers (where the MPLS labels are first applied), egress routers (where MPLS labels are removed), and transit routers (which switch MPLS-labeled packets through the MPLS network). Peering routers andaggregation routers are not specific types of MPLS routers; they are general network terms.
