What should a network engineer consider before implementing segment routing?
The correct answer is D. It is a source-based routing technique. Segment Routing (SR) is a source-based routing technique where the source node defines the entire path that a packet should take through the network. This is achieved by encoding the path as a list of segments in the packet header, eliminating the need for per-flow state in…

Explanation
Segment Routing (SR) is a source-based routing technique where the source node defines the entire path that a packet should take through the network. This is achieved by encoding the path as a list of segments in the packet header, eliminating the need for per-flow state in intermediate It provides scalability, flexibility, and simplified traffic engineering compared to traditional MPLS. Before implementing SR, network engineers must ensure the network supports the necessary protocols and configurations for SR.
