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

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.

The AS path is a BGP attribute that lists the autonomous systems (AS) that routing information has passed through to get to a destination. It is used to detect and prevent routing loops by checking if the router's own AS number is in the path.

In MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) networks, routers use label switching to forward packets. The first router at the edge of the MPLS network (R1) will perform a lookup in the mpls.0 table to determine the label to attach to the packet as it enters the MPLS network. This label informs the next routers in the MPLS network (like R2) on how to forward the packet. Internal MPLS routers, like R2, also perform lookups in their mpls.0 table to determine how to switch the packet toward its destination (label swapping). The inet.3 table is used for resolving next-hop information for labeled routes, but it's the mpls.0 table that is used for label switching decisions.
