SDN Transport Slicing - EANTC Multi-Vendor Interop Showcase at MPLS SDN 2024

Multi-vendor network management - where SDN controllers from one group of vendors manage routers from another group of vendors - has been tested at the annual EANTC interoperability events for several years already. A group of steadily engaged vendors has kept improving and extending the multi-vendor interoperability of this SDN management topic. This year, Ciena, Cisco, Ericsson, Huawei, Juniper, and Keysight have successfully tested multi-vendor SDN provisioning of network slices. Slices are well-known as a 5G topic; it is often forgotten that slicing is not only a radio technology challenge. Sliced traffic with application-specific quality requirements must be grouped ("colored") and forwarded across the network accordingly. There are multiple standardized solutions to configure colored traffic paths in a Segment Routing network; they all have in common that they are complex to configure. Therefore, it is important to benefit from automated provisioning even if the underlying transport network has components from multiple vendors. The speakers in this session include: Sujay Murthy, Cisco Reza Rokui, Ciena The full test report can be downloaded free of charge from https://eantc.de/events/mpls-sdn-inte... EANTC (European Advanced Networking Test Center) is a leading independent test lab for telecommunication technologies.
