Information about Transport technology related to Telco cloud, 5G, Virtualization, cloudification, X-Haul, midhaul, fronthaul, backhaul for mobile technologies
I got an opportunity to attend the NFD-32 event as a remote delegate. The two-day event was full of presentations on cutting-edge technologies related to networking. Nile was one of the companies that impressed me with their innovative approach to technology and product offering. Now ! if you do not know about Niles, it’s fine, […]
I had a chance to watch an interesting presentation by Kentik in NFD-31 online back in April 2023. I have been attending NFD events organized by Techfieldday events for quite some time as a delegate. However, this time around, I just watched the presentation as a viewer ( not a delegate) Kentik has been coming […]
“Disaggregated Networking” is good, but “Network Cloud” is better. This is my analysis for one vendor’s approach to routing, after attending the NFD event on service provider that was held December 8-9 and that was Drivenets presentations on network cloud. I was one of the analysts that attended the event. Disclaimer: This is my own analysis. The vendor did […]
I was invited as an analyst to attend the NFD-26 event organized by Tech field day featuring networking vendors. As I listened to different vendors’ sessions, one of the presentations that caught my interest was from Juniper regarding their vision on AIOps in networking. As I work for a service provider, I deliberated on what issues this can […]
When revenue per bit starts falling and cost per bit starts increasing, it’s time to think about alternative strategies to expand Transmission/IP network. As IP is predominant traffic in Transmission networks, therefore any expansion strategy on Transmission should be driven by IP demands. Indeed, both IP and Transmission departments need to work for a joint and synergetic […]
Are you a transport or a mobile backhaul operator with a goal to deploy easy to operate Ethernet transport solution based on MPLS-TP? Do you know that you may run into potential surprises if you treat MPLS-TP as any other technology you evaluate. In fact, not all systems are equal, and this is particularly true about MPLS-TP gear. MPLS-TP hadn’t had a smooth […]
Are you concerned about latency in your data center links running over optical network ? Or, are you planning for Data Center Interconnectivity in near future and want to know the impact of delays involved. The read on, for some useful tips to know your options. Chances are, you are already using DWDM to […]
What is it that operators miss on 100G optics/transponders ? Is it reach, cost or availability ? In fact none of them.Telecom Lighthouse We have Coherent optics that can span thousands of kilometers, and we have prices getting competitive reasonably, so what is it that operators would still want on 100g optics. Read further. What operators want, is an efficient solution […]
When it comes to QoS in Packet Transport environment, Queuing mechanisms insides switches and routers hold key importance.There are a variety of methods used by manufacturers.So which Queuing mechanism is best for QoS for routers and switches. There is no clear answer to that because every queuing mechanism has certain Pros and Cons. I have summarized main […]
If an Operator decides to deploy Multi-layer protection using both IP/MPLS and Optical domain, he faces a number of challenges: IP/MPLS and Optical control planes work separately in transport networks; they are, usually, disjoint and do not communicate with each other. IP/MPLS circuits are provisioned as one of the services for optical layer with no co-ordination between them. While the “disjoint” protection strategy may work.but it is NOT […]
