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.

Partner POV | Optical transport technology advancements for utilities
Earlier this year, I blogged about the increasing demands on the power grid and how communication networks can help power utilities ensure reliable, secure service delivery. Adding power generation and distribution capacity is a significant undertaking, and utilities should complement it with a communication network that monitors, controls and secures the grid with ease.
Partner POV | How thin transponders help you get more from coherent pluggables
In life, we sometimes face choices where neither option is perfect and both require trade-offs. Imagine you're choosing between two cars: one is a fuel-efficient compact car with excellent mileage but low horsepower, and the other is a powerful sports car that delivers thrilling performance but consumes far more fuel.
Adtran Mosaic Cloud Platform (MCP) Lab
This lab provides users access to Adtran's Mosaic Cloud Platform (MCP) to manage their SDX Passive Optical Network devices. It gives users access to a live network while displaying how the Mosaic Cloud Platform operates.

Partner POV | Optical Networks Provide AI-Ready Grid Communications
As we enter mid-2025, it's interesting to take a fresh look at the landscape for power utilities and the communication networks they use. Coming away from several days at the UTC 2025 Telecom and Technology Conference in Long Beach, California, it struck me that the trends we saw just a year ago are even more in focus.
Partner POV | A History Of Beating Optical Limits Is Our Best Hope For The Future
The demand for bandwidth has been a constant drumbeat for decades, and the rise of AI is putting it front and center once again. Optical technologies will play a key role in data center interconnect for tasks like training machine learning models, as well as interconnect to edge clouds and on-premises servers that for latency reasons, need to do inferencing locally.

IP Routing Lab for Optical Engineers
There is a movement in the industry to combine the optical network and the routed network, with Cisco leading the charge. The architecture is known as RON, Routed Optical Networks. With the RON architecture, the services that Optical Engineers are accustomed to delivering within the optical network are now provided via the routed network. Services such as site-to-site traffic demand, path selection, and path protection. With this shift in architecture, there is a growing requirement for optical engineers' expertise to span both optical and routing. This lab is designed to demonstrate how the routed network delivers these services and how to configure a basic RON network using 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.
