SReXperts 24: Key Takeaways
This year's SReXperts conference showcased Nokia's focus on enabling AI solutions and enriching their solution portfolio.
Coherent QSFP28 Is Finally Here
The release of 100G ZR coherent QSFP28 transceivers from Nokia, Cisco and others promises to accelerate the already rapid shift from traditional core network designs to optical and packet converged architectures.
Understanding IPv6 Addressing
The rapid growth of devices has exhausted IPv4 addresses, hindering expansion. Transitioning to IPv6, with its vast address space, eliminates the need for complex techniques like NAT, enhances security and supports emerging technologies. Embracing IPv6 future-proofs networks, ensuring seamless connectivity and efficient address allocation.
Which Optical Transport Architecture Is Right for You?
There are various transport network architectures, from strictly Layer 1 optical rings to meshed Layer 1 through Layer 3 converged networks. How do you decide? This article provides a high level overview of three different architectures, their typical use cases and benefits.
400G-ZR & ZR+: The Latest in Pluggable Coherent DWDM
The convergence of DWDM and routing technology — are 400G pluggable DWDM optics the key to this long-sought union? Let's take a look.
Cisco Live 2024: Networking Takeaways
WWT engineering resources share what stood out to them at the flagship technology conference.
Core Routing: Traffic Engineering
Traffic Engineering is the most advanced function of a Core Routing network--providing the network operator with the ability to intelligently manipulate traffic paths according to various criteria and even achieve programmatic control of traffic paths using Software-Defined Networking.
What Is "Model-Driven" Orchestration — And Why Would I Use It?
Learn the difference between "model-driven" orchestration and other methods, and when to apply it.
Core Routing: Underlay Transport
A Core Routing Underlay forms the essential foundation of network connectivity, utilizing protocols like IS-IS or OSPF and mechanisms such as MPLS. It ensures efficient data transport and optimal path calculation, enabling advanced network capabilities such as Carrier Services and Traffic Engineering.
Core Routing: Carrier Services
A Core Network's primary purpose in life is to provide a "service" of interconnectivity to someone or something. In a routing context, this means using MPLS in conjunction with BGP to "signal" customer services such as pseudowires, L2VPNs and L3VPNs across the network.
