Schedule a private meeting through your account team with one of the many Cisco subject matter experts on site. This includes demonstrations of Segment Routing, IPv6 Segment Routing, Model-Driven Telemetry, NFV Infrastructure (NFVi), Cisco Network Services Orchestration (Tail-F) and SD-WAN. Visit the Cisco Booth #312 to see Cisco IOS XR Software Innovations for Network Transformation. CET at the R’Yves Restaurant at the Marriot, Level 2 Automation with Network Services Orchestrator.Presentation by Bell Canada on Central Office Transformation.The agenda will cover software innovations in the following areas: Cisco Customers can register for the workshop here. Mafrom 1:30PM – 5:30 CET, on Level – 1 in Salon GHIJ. Powerful stuff! The only question left on the table is… Why haven’t you purchased your ticket to Paris yet? This is an event you don’t want to miss!Ĭisco Sponsored Activities at Conference:Ĭisco’s Pre-Conference Customer Network Transformation Workshop We already evaluated Segment Routing micro-loop avoidance in our labs, showing impressive results: we will deploy it for sure!” We consider Segment Routing as an enabler to prevent micro-loops in IP/MPLS networks. Now, thanks to the Segment Routing building blocks, we have the technology to easily build loop-free paths in the network in a simple way. But all those past solutions were only partial or too complex to be deployed in a live network. Orange was interested in micro-loop prevention for many years by investigating, evaluating, implementing multiple solutions. In this area, micro-loops have always been a pain for networks by breaking fast-reroute or creating micro-congestions. As MPLS transport is the foundation of our services, we must make it the most efficient and robust, also because bad things can happen in a network and network must dynamically adapt without disrupting customer applications. “Customer expectations in term of quality of experience are growing with the criticality of their applications. This is what Stephane has to say about it at Cisco’s Segment Routing software innovation: Stephane did in-depth testing of micro-loop avoidance code provided by Cisco and shared great insights at MPLS World Congress 2016. This was originally published in a blog by my colleague, Frederic Trate. Sometimes, conversations get interesting because the best of the best attend and there is no room for fluff or “belief system” based ideas without actionable outcomes to solve network transformation challenges.ĭon’t take my word for it, look at the below quote given last year at the conference by Stephane Litkowski from Orange Group. They are honest about what works and what does not and this is based on real deployments in live networks. They present real live use cases and technology demos. Industry experts from operators and vendors are under one roof for an entire week. This is the event where the “software innovation rubber” meets the road! Why is this event so powerful? It’s simple. Ask any previous attendee, and they will tell you the value of attending this event. This is why if you are a network transformation junkie, there is no better place to be than at MPLS+SDN+NFV World Congress on March 21-24, 2017 at the Marriott Paris Rive Gauche Hotel and Conference Center. Does this mean our current networks are bad, or without value? Absolutely not! After kicking the “technology tires” for years, it is clear network transformation is not easy and we can’t transform on our own. The puzzle pieces are many and the way we were building networks will not necessary work to support future needs. Technology decisions must be made and deployments have to happen which utilize software innovations from vendors and OpenSource communities, in harmony, and only then, will provider networks transform to support the next wave of services.Ĭloud-Scale Networking, Central Office Transformation, The Internet of Everything, Infinite Video, millions of applications driven through mobile devices and the ever changing enterprise landscape need to be supported. I think we can all agree, at some point, for these words to become reality, the “software innovation rubber” must meet the road. Simplification, automation and virtualization are words that have been used by marketers, like myself for years. MPLS+SDN+NFV World Congress 2017 is just around the corner and I want to explain why I think this is a must-see event.
