Sessions Sessions Wednesday, April 16 - Thursday, April 17 - Service Provider Track 4:15 - 4:45pm The Data Center Revolution and its Impact on Ethernet and MPLS Umesh Kukreja, Nokia Siemens As Data Centers increasingly become the ‘nerve centers’ of next-generation Internet networks, they are going through a major evolution. This evolution raises some crucial questions in terms of its impact on Ethernet and MPLS: - What is the impact of Ethernet and MPLS on Data Center growth? And Data Center growth on Ethernet and MPLS? - What are the applications for Ethernet extension services inside a Data Center? - How are intra-Data Center traffic patterns evolving, and what impact will they have on metro transport and MPLS peering networks? For this session, Atrica will partner with a large Data Center operating company with Data Centers in each of the major European cities to address the evolution of Data Centers. Attendees will leave the session with a greater understanding both of the market opportunities the Data Center evolution presents, and broader knowledge of the Ethernet and MPLS solutions they can leverage to pursue this opportunity. 9:15-9:45am Making MPLS VPN Management Scalable with Network-wide Traffic Analysis Cengiz Alaettinoglu, CTO, PacketDesign With the emergence of MPLS VPNs as mainstream WAN offerings, service providers have been hard-pressed to manage per-VPN and network-wide CoS traffic across their entire networks in a way that would assure that they meet customer SLAs. This is because gathering and processing sufficient amounts of VPN routing and traffic information across a large service provider MPLS VPN network has not been feasible until now. A new approach to overcoming the scalability barrier in MPLS VPN network management now gives service providers an unprecedented level of visibility into their service and core network traffic. This session will address the current state of MPLS VPN and core IP traffic analysis – including the challenge of analyzing service traffic in the virtualized MPLS VPN routing infrastructure – and examine ways to achieve ways to achieve traffic visibility from the P to PE perimeter. 4:45-5:15 Next Generation Networks Application-Driven Network Design Dierde Doherty, Bell Laboratories Bell Labs and Alcatel-Lucent have been working on complex NGN design issues for a number of years with operators around the world. Based on new design methods and algorithms, and our experience in IMS, Ethernet, and MPLS design, our team has developed an integrated design methodology, which is specifically designed to achieve an optimized multi-layer, multiservice, and multi-vendor design. The design is application-driven, i.e. the set of applications that will run on the shared infrastructure must first be characterized, and the resultant traffic must be modeled. The integration guarantees that all layers of the network design are based on the same assumptions and data about the existing network, and the expected traffic loads, and allows the user to assess whether the overall design meets the technical and financial goals. The MSND methodology has been developed using numerous customer case studies. Example case studies will be provided showing how this methodology allows network service providers to achieve an optimized multi-layer, multi-service, multi-vendor network design that meets their business goals. 9:45-10:15am Inter-Provider MPLS Solutions Sangita Pandya, Cisco Carrier networks may need to expand their geographical coverage to carry a variety of traffic types that must be routed across multiple areas, or across other carriers' networks. To create new services, partnering with other providers may be essential. Inter-AS MPLS solutions can help address these problems. This session covers architectures and protocols for MPLS Layer 2 VPNs, Layer 3 VPNs, multicast VPNs, and traffic engineering for multi-AS MPLS networks. Both inter-AS and Carrier Supporting Carrier (CSC) deployment models are discussed, as well as challenges for QoS, security, and high availability in building inter-AS networks. Best practices and guidelines are presented for building MPLS networks that address these challenges. 10:30-11:00am A Study of Video over IP over Various PON and DSL Pat Sims, Senior Systems Engineer, ADC Telecommunications This study investigates key elements of Video over IP over various PON and DSL architectures including: • Providers are seeing competition by cable operators offering voice services and an ever increasing diverse video service portfolio. • VOD and HD contents are on the rise, and their bandwidth requirements are key factors in providing a robust architecture that will support Video over IP. • Multiple video feeds are no longer driven by the number TV sets per household alone. This presentation discusses the requirements imposed on various PON and DSL architectures. • PON and DSL architectures may be able to offer enough bandwidth for a competitive video service offer with or without MPEG-4. • Multiple bandwidth tiers are determined by line rates, video compression technologies, and multi-cast techniques; not PON (BPON, GEPON, GPON, WDMPON or EFM) vs. DSL. • There are significant opportunity costs for inaction or delayed action to capture revenues from triple and quadruple play offers that include a robust video service. Thursday, April 17, 2008 - Service Provider Track 8:30-9:15am KEYNOTE: The Role of MPLS Technology in The Evolution of 4G Mobile Networks Doug Hunt, CTO, IP Division, Alcatel-Lucent This presentation examines the role of MPLS technology in the evolution to 4G mobile networks, considering mobile WiMAX as a case study. As mobile operators begin deploying a new generation of services based on mobile WiMAX, they will require the flexibility to support a range of access technologies, with an evolution path to all-IP transport. Issues addressed in this presentation include efficient support for the range of access types, synchronization and timing distribution, and meeting service demands including resiliency and QoS in what is often a multi-technology and multiprovider infrastructure. The presentation considers staged deployment scenarios leading from current-generation mobile network infrastructures to those supporting mobile WiMAX. Dela Don’t Del ay!
