SRv6 Network Programming, beginning with the challenges for Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) network development, describes the background, roadmap design, and implementation of Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6), as well as the application of this technology in traditional and emerging services. The book begins with the development of IP technologies by focusing on the problems encountered during MPLS and IPv6 network development, giving readers insights into the problems tackled by SRv6 and the value of SRv6. It then goes on to explain SRv6 fundamentals, including SRv6 packet header design, the packet forwarding process, protocol extensions such as Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), and Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) extensions, and how SRv6 supports existing traffic engineering (TE), virtual private networks (VPN), and reliability requirements. Next, SRv6 network deployment is introduced, covering the evolution paths from existing networks to SRv6 networks, SRv6 network deployment processes, involved O&M technologies, and emerging 5G and cloud services supported by SRv6. Bit Index Explicit Replication IPv6 encapsulation (BIERv6), an SRv6 multicast technology, is then introduced as an important supplement to SRv6 unicast technology. The book concludes with a summary of the current status of the SRv6 industry and provides an outlook for new SRv6-based technologies.SRv6 Network Programming: Ushering in a New Era of IP Networks collects the research results of Huawei SRv6 experts and reflects the latest development direction of SRv6. With rich, clear, practical, and easy-to-understand content, the volume is intended for network planning engineers, technical support engineers and network administrators who need a grasp of the most cutting-edge IP network technology. It is also intended for communications network researchers in scientific research institutions and universities.Authors:Zhenbin Li is the Chief Protocol Expert of Huawei and member of the IETF IAB, responsible for IP protocol research and standards promotion at Huawei.Zhibo Hu is a Senior Huawei Expert in SR and IGP, responsible for SR and IGP planning and innovation.Cheng Li is a Huawei Senior Pre-research Engineer and IP standards representative, responsible for Huawei's SRv6 research and standardization.

This book shows how SRv6 can be used in real-world network deployments, providing real-world project cases from multiple carriers and enterprises.Segment Routing (SR) has matured significantly over the past decade. Its derivative, SR over IPv6 dataplane (SRv6), has experienced rapid development in recent years and has gained wide acceptance among carriers. However, despite the growing interest in SRv6 deployment and the desire for detailed information, no reference material is available. This book aims to fill this gap by providing a comprehensive description of how SRv6 can be used in real network deployment scenarios. Written by participants in Huawei's SRv6 project, this book provides an in-depth look at the project's solution design and deployment guidelines. It also provides insights into the latest progress of SRv6 header compression standards and provides examples.This book is a valuable reference for academics and students majoring in data communications, as well as data communications professionals and managers responsible for network planning and design, and network operation and maintenance management.

Built on Huawei’s pioneering research, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the architecture, techniques, and deployment of IPv6 on-path telemetry, highlighting the most recent developments in IP network technologies.IPv6 on-path telemetry is a network Operations and Maintenance technology that has emerged alongside the development of IP network services in the 5G and cloud computing era. It has gradually achieved large-scale deployment and application. Starting with the challenges that 5G and cloud computing pose to IP networks and the shortcomings of traditional O&M, the book analyzes the differences between IPv6 on-path telemetry and traditional Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) technologies. It emphasizes the technical value of IPv6 on-path telemetry from a service perspective in the 5G and cloud era. Then, the book illustrates the technical implementation and deployment of IPv6 on-path telemetry, providing instructions supported by Huawei use cases. Finally, it explores the prospects of the IPv6 on-path telemetry industry and related techniques, drawing on Huawei’s expertise in IP networks and its research progress.This book is intended for network planning engineers, technical support engineers, and network administrators. It will also appeal to researchers, students, and professionals interested in IP network technologies and communication networks.
