Four Ways to Accelerate TDM-to-IP Migration
Unprecedented bandwidth demand is straining legacy TDM systems, which are quickly becoming antiquated. Transitioning from TDM-to-IP is an evolution of the network — a convergence of voice, data and video into a single packet-based network.
TDM-to-IP Briefing
TDM technologies have been a critical tool for telecoms, utilities and many other organizations for decades. However, in recent years there has been a massive decline in research, development and support for TDM hardware and software. This has caused the industry to migrate towards solutions that provide TDM endpoint capability, delivered through a modern IP core network. The technologies associated with this transition are referred to as TDM-to-IP, and WWT partners closely with leading OEMs to offer the best in class transition strategy.

Is Hop-by-Hop the Future of Optical Transport Networking?
Have the optical networking and routing stars aligned? They very well may have. Let's take a look at why.
Intro to Segment Routing Lab
MPLS has been around for over two decades and is the cornerstone of Service Provider Networks and many enterprise, utility and federal networks. MPLS delivers mission-critical applications and services. Segment Routing has taken the stage to replace MPLS because it accomplishes the same as MPLS but is less complex, extremely robust and can be scaled without limitations. This lab will introduce you to the basics of Segment Routing.
Multi-Domain SR-TE Lab
Organizations rely on MPLS on multiple platforms to deliver mission-critical applications and services. Segment Routing is the evolution of traditional MPLS, and here we look at SR-MPLS and Traffic Engineering across multiple domains with an SR-PCE (Path Computation Element). Traffic Engineering has been around for many years as RSVP-TE; however, being very cumbersome and complex, it has gained very little popularity with few deployments. Segment Routing Traffic Engineering adds a new dimension to Segment Routing including the ability to perform end-to-end traffic engineering across multiple IGP domains.
Intro to ISIS
ISIS is the prevalent IGP routing protocol for multi-protocol routing with support for IPv4 and IPv6. As a link-state routing protocol, it supports fast convergence and fast reroute. Here we explore how easy it is to configure and verify ISIS.
Converged Packet Optical Solutions from WWT and Cisco
As networks grow in size and complexity, managing routing and optical functions can become a challenge. Most organizations want to simplify, but integrating new solutions with legacy systems can be complicated – and costly.
Multi-Layer, Multi-Vendor (MLMV) Core Networking Guided Lab
WWT's Multi-Layer Multi-Vendor (MLMV) lab is an innovative and versatile physical lab environment focused on core networking. It is designed to demonstrate the integration of technologies from Layer 0 (the physical layer) to Layer 3 (the network layer) across multiple vendors in a cohesive system. This lab is designed to be custom-tailored to your specific needs. During this briefing, we will share an overview of the MLMV lab environment, discuss our capabilities, and develop a high-level plan to meet your needs.

SRv6 uSID Lab
SRv6 utilizes the IPv6 data plane natively to deliver Segment Routing capabilities which dramatically simplifies network deployments. By eliminating the need for MPLS label shims and transporting SRv6 SIDs as IPv6 addresses, any IPv6 capable router can forward an SRv6 packet. This means that you can run SRv6 services over any IPv6-enabled infrastructure. This lab will introduce you to the basics of SRv6 with L3VPN over a purely IPv6 transport.

SRv6 - Key Concepts for Engineers
This learning path will introduce you to the fundamental concepts of SRv6 uSID with L3VPN over an IPv6 transport. Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) is the successor to SR-MPLS. It natively utilizes the IPv6 data plane to deliver Segment Routing capabilities, simplifying network deployments. SRv6 uses the IPv6 Routing Extension Header to carry multiple IPv6 addresses, including multiple SRv6 SIDs. SRv6 uSID extends this concept by allowing a single 128-bit IPv6 destination address to carry up to six individual SIDs, or MPLS labels. By eliminating the need for MPLS label shims and transporting SRv6 SIDs as IPv6 addresses, any IPv6-capable router can forward an SRv6 packet. This enables the deployment of SRv6 services over any IPv6-enabled infrastructure.

Deploying IPv6 with ISIS
Organizations have relied on IPv4 for decades, but transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6 is necessary to accommodate the growing number of devices and the increasing demand for IP addresses. Most organizations have exhausted their IPv4 address space. Transitioning to IPv6 allows network engineers to future-proof their networks against the inevitable exhaustion of IPv4 addresses.
