BrandPost: The Adaptive Network Vision – An Executive Q&A

The networking industry is being disrupted. There is an explosion in network demand, driven by ultra-mobile users who want the ability to access the cloud and consume high-definition content, video, and applications when and where they choose. This network disruption will only continue in the future with the adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G—both of which require billions of devices to interact with machines, users, and the cloud to drive consumer and business interactions.As a result, network providers must prepare for an industry transformation that will create new opportunities. We sat down with Ciena’s Rebecca Prudhomme, VP of Portfolio Marketing, to address what network providers need to do to seize these opportunities. To read this article in full, please click here

IDG Contributor Network: Reversing course – single-pair Ethernet cabling is the future

For more than 25 years structured cabling systems for voice and data applications have been standardized as 4-pair, balanced UTP, ScTP or Sc/FTP cable that now supports up to 40 Gb/s on 30 meters of category 8. The driving force has been requirements for ever more bandwidth to meet a variety of customer needs.Suddenly, interest in building automation, “smart” systems and the “Internet of Things” (IoT) is changing the scope of the next generation of cabling systems. Sensors for lighting, HVAC, occupancy, access control and other smart systems require very little bandwidth compared to typical data applications. A sensor transmits just a few bytes of data when polled by a controller or triggered by an external event. To read this article in full, please click here

Revisiting – Why IGP sync with LDP is required ?

Hi All,

I was preparing some content on MPLS for a training session  and as a part of it, was going through LDP. The interesting aspect is very obvious

-> LDP is dependent on IGP

-> What ever Draw-backs IGP has will be inherited by LDP

-> LDP has to be enabled on the Interface to exchange Labels, else it wont consider the exit-interface from IGP and hence there will be no LSP’s

So far so good and makes sense as well

 

I will not be boring with command line outputs in this case

-> I have disabled the interface between R3/R4 so if R3 Has to reach R1, it will use R3-R2-R1 path

All good, Am going to just tweak the metric of the interface on R3 -> R2 before I enable back the R3 – R4

Now let me enabled the interface between R3-R4

-> It has a Better cost

-> It has not been enabled for LDP

 

 

If we go back to R3, to examine the result

This is dangerously familiar for me ? , There is a LDP neighbor, but No routes are present in Inet.3 (neither for R1 or R2) as Routes Continue reading
