INE Launches Hands-On SRv6 Course for Next-Generation Service Provider Networks

Implementing Segment Routing v6 (SRv6) gives network professionals practical experience with IPv6-based VPN services, Traffic Engineering with IS-IS Flex-Algo, uSID Compression, and MPLS-to-SRv6 Interworking

CARY, N.C., Sept. 3, 2026 — INE, an industry leader in advanced hands-on networking and cybersecurity training, today announced Implementing Segment Routing v6 (SRv6), a new course built to help network professionals implement and operate SRv6 in modern Service Provider environments.

As Service Providers modernize their MPLS networks, SRv6 is emerging as an important architecture for delivering VPN services and programmable Traffic Engineering over an IPv6-based infrastructure. Rather than focusing solely on theory, INE’s course is designed to give engineers practical, hands-on experience implementing the technologies and workflows used to deploy SRv6 in real-world network environments.

Led by Brian McGahan, co-founder of INE and Director of Networking Content, the course provides practical training for experienced network professionals looking to build hands-on skills with SRv6.

“SRv6 is the kind of technology engineers need to experience first-hand to really understand,” said McGahan. “This course helps learners move beyond just the theory, and directly into implementing SRv6 routing, VPN services, Traffic Engineering, and MPLS-to-SRv6 interworking they’re likely to see in modern Service Provider environments.”

The course gives learners experience with technologies and workflows including:

• Advertising SRv6 Locators with IS-IS

• Implementing Layer 3 VPNs over SRv6

• Implementing Layer 2 VPNs over SRv6

• Implementing SRv6 Micro-SID (uSID) compression

• Using IS-IS Flex-Algo for SRv6 traffic engineering

• Using Flex-Algo affinity for constraint-based path selection

• Implementing MPLS-to-SRv6 interworking

The launch expands INE’s advanced networking and Service Provider training portfolio, giving network professionals more opportunities to build practical skills with Segment Routing, IPv6, and modern Service Provider technologies.

Implementing Segment Routing v6 (SRv6) is available now  for individual learners with INE Premium access and for organizations through INE Enterprise licenses.
