Definitive Segment Routing for engineers

Description

This Segment Routing (SR) training course is a
comprehensive program designed to equip network
professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to
implement and manage SR in modern networking
environments. Segment Routing is a cutting-edge
network architecture that enhances network flexibility,
scalability, and efficiency. This course offers in-depth
coverage of SR principles, protocols, and practical
implementation techniques. Hands on sessions are
used to reinforce the theory rather than teach specific
manufacturer equipment.
