Rakuten Mobile and Cisco have collaborated to successfully complete what they claim is one of the world’s largest Segment Routing over IPv6 Micro Segment ID (SRv6 uSID) IP transport network migrations. Rakuten Mobile has already adopted SRv6 in its IP transport network, which connects base stations to its core network. In traditional networks adopting IPv6, the standard for IP addresses, priority is given to packet processing via the shortest possible route.

Adopting SRv6 for Enhanced Packet Processing
SRv6 instead assigns Segment IDs to packets, enabling scalability for networks and other functions. By adopting uSID, Rakuten Mobile now has access to more refined and efficient methods of packet processing, the Japanese operator explained.
Utilising SRv6 uSID-based IP transport networks, Rakuten Mobile launched its ultra-high-speed internet connection service “KOSOKU Access” in January 2024 as a fixed network service for enterprise customers. The company said this enables customers to access fast, low-latency on-demand services in a secure and reliable business infrastructure with a 24/7 network maintenance system.

Benefits of SRv6 uSID Deployment
Rakuten Mobile says with the deployment of SRv6 uSID, it introduces a combination of speed, on-demand services, and low-latency capabilities for consumers and business of all sizes. Businesses can access tailored solutions, establish dedicated network segments, exercise granular control over performance, and achieve near-instantaneous data transfer for latency-sensitive applications.
