This is the first of a multi-part video series on Cisco's Crosswork Network Controller or CNC. CNC is a Segment Routing SDN Traffic Engineering Controller for transport networks. CNC can create engineered Transport paths using SR-TE parameters and provision and link these paths to VPN services. CNC performs real-time network optimization based on current network conditions utilizing the Crosswork Optimization Engine.

In collaboration with Cisco, WWT's Core Networking Team created a lab environment focused on consolidating optical networking and core routing into one unified architecture. This lab environment is known as the Multi-Layer, Multi-Vendor (MLMV) Lab. This video is a recording of WWT Technical Solutions Architect John Chiarini's presentation at Cisco Live 2024 of the lab environment.

Explore the convergence of optical and IP networks, a key trend transforming modern data communications. Join us while we define convergence, outlining how it streamlines traditionally separate optical and IP layers. Discover compelling benefits such as operational efficiency, reduced footprint, protection, and interface support. Additionally, we'll discuss the driving forces behind this convergence, such as the explosive growth of data traffic, the rise of pluggable coherent optics, and the need for more efficient and scalable network architectures. This video provides a concise overview of this critical topic, highlighting the advantages and considerations for organizations embracing converged optical and IP networks.
