Core Routing Security: Protecting the Control Plane
Control plane protection is much more than just a checkbox; it's the best way to protect the brains of your core routers. In this article, you'll learn how to identify, classify and protect control plane traffic, leveraging built-in defenses and operational best practices to ensure core routing stability.
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.
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.
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.
