Abstract: This paper presents an overview of Segment Routing (SR) as an innovative approach for traffic management in modern networks. SR simplifies network operations, provides better scalability, and supports seamless integration with SDN. The paper compares SR to traditional MPLS techniques (LDP, RSVP-TE), discusses the advantages of SR, explores migration strategies, and highlights the benefits of using SR in SDN environments.
