Does Segment Routing Simplify Traffic Engineering?
Segment Routing is frequently positioned as a simpler approach to Traffic Engineering(TE) because it can reduce protocol surface area and eliminate per-LSP signaling in the core. That description is broadly accurate at the signaling layer, but it does not remove the underlying TE requirements. TE still requires intent to be expressed, constraints to be applied,…
The TED isn’t the LSDB
In traffic engineering discussions, it’s common to hear the Traffic Engineering Database (TED) described as an “extension” of the Link State Database—as if the TED is simply the LSDB with a few extra bits. The implication is that traffic engineering is just normal routing with more metadata, and that the distinction is mostly academic. That…
State, Signaling, and the Cost of Simplified Narratives
This article is not a comparison of protocols, nor an argument for or against any specific traffic engineering architecture. Instead, it is an examination of how architectural narratives form, how they simplify complex histories, and how those simplifications can quietly shape design assumptions long after the original context has faded. One of the most persistent…
