What is Segment Routing strategy?

Every great achievement starts with a well-thought-out plan. It can be the launch of a new product, expanding into new markets, or just trying to increase efficiency. You'll need a delicate combination of strategies and tactics to ensure that the journey is smooth and effective.

Crafting the perfect Segment Routing strategy can feel overwhelming, particularly when you're juggling daily responsibilities. That's why we've put together a collection of examples to spark your inspiration.

Copy these examples into your preferred app, or you can also use Tability to keep yourself accountable.

How to write your own Segment Routing strategy with AI

While we have some examples available, it's likely that you'll have specific scenarios that aren't covered here. You can use our free AI generator below or our more complete goal-setting system to generate your own strategies.

Segment Routing strategy examples

You'll find below a list of Segment Routing tactics. We also included action items for each template to make it more practical and useful.

Strategies and tactics for migrating from MPLS to SR in utilities

    • Explain the simplification of the network architecture with SR
    • Discuss the cost savings associated with reducing reliance on MPLS
    • Illustrate improved network efficiency and performance metrics
    • Provide examples of enhanced scalability with SR
    • Highlight the security improvements in SR over MPLS
    • Compare the ease of traffic engineering in SR
    • Share testimonials or case studies of successful SR implementations
    • Detail how SR can facilitate future network innovations
    • Discuss the operational resilience and reliability benefits
    • Present potential ROI estimations when switching to SR

  • ⛳️ Strategy 2: Address concerns and resistance to change

    • Organise a workshop to understand specific concerns OT teams have with SR
    • Create a FAQ document addressing common resistance points
    • Engage with network experts to explain SR’s capabilities
    • Provide training resources or sessions to upskill OT teams on SR

How to track your Segment Routing strategies and tactics

Having a plan is one thing, sticking to it is another.

Don't fall into the set-and-forget trap. It is important to adopt a weekly check-in process to keep your strategy agile – otherwise this is nothing more than a reporting exercise.

A tool like Tability can also help you by combining AI and goal-setting to keep you on track.
