As the industry moves towards new architectures, examining lessons learned from disruptive designs and what alternatives are available for the multi-layer future.
James Glover, Director, Product Line Management, Ciena
James Glover is Director of Product Line Management at Ciena. He leads a team that is responsible for Aggregation, Metro and Core Routing product offerings in the area of IP/Optical converged networking. James has over 25 years of experience in the networking and telecommunications industries. Prior to Ciena, James worked at Ericsson for 9 years, both in Europe and North America. He has held various positions in the networking space at Redback Networks, HP, and 3COM. He is currently based in San Jose, California.
If the IP and optical layers collaborate, it is possible to use higher performing optical connections, knowing that the IP layer will be able to redirect some of the traffic should the optical layer require reducing the capacity in the future. This innovative concept is called Adaptive Networking, and it provides many additional advantages.
Ori Gerstel, CTO for Routed Optical Networking, Cisco
Ori Gerstel is proven track record of driving new and useful ideas in WAN network architectures from concept to deployment, in the area of optical networking, network management, control plane, SDN, multi-layer interworking and planning tools at Cisco, Nortel, Tellabs, and IBM.
Discussing the coherent routing concept which combines innovations in IP routing silicon and systems with high-density pluggable coherent interface optics and compact optical line systems to create faster and more efficient IP transport solutions for 400 Gb/s, 800Gb/s and up.
Bruno De Troch, Director of EMEA PLM IP Routing, Nokia
Bruno has over 30 years of experience in the telecom industry and joined Nokia (then Alcatel-Lucent) in April 2014. He’s heading the EMEA Product Line Management team for Nokia’s IP Routing and Network Automation portfolio, including the 7950 XRS, 7750 SR, 7250 IXR, 7220 IXR, 7210 SAS and 7705 SAR families of routers, the Network Services Platform (NSP), the Fabric Services Platform (FSS) and the Deepfield solutions. This industry-leading portfolio provides service providers and large enterprises with a Smart Network Fabric spanning from access to core. Prior to his current role he was a Technical Lead at Juniper Networks for 14 years, providing guidance to carriers and large enterprises on how to deploy and optimize their IP/MPLS and Carrier Ethernet networks. He holds an MSc in Telecommunications from the Military Academy in Brussels and made it to Captain in charge of the Belgian Armed Forces’ country-wide data network before leaving and joining BT Belgium as a Design Engineer.
Discussing blackhole detection in packet networks. Such blackholes are typically difficult to detect, and even working out on which router the blackhole is occurring can be difficult. Describing two methods for detecting blackholes: indirect detection and direct detection.
Julian Lucek, Juniper Networks
Julian Lucek is a Sr Distinguished Systems Engineer at Juniper Networks, where he has been working with many operators on the design and evolution of their networks. Before joining Juniper Networks, he worked at BT. He has a PhD in ultrahigh-speed optical transmission and processing from Cambridge University. He also has a Master's degree in Physics from Cambridge University. He is the holder of several patents in the area of communications technology. He is co-author of the book "MPLS-Enabled Applications: Emerging Developments and New Technologies", by Ina Minei and Julian Lucek.
Enabling IP/optical convergence requires seamless interoperability between routers and coherent pluggables from diverse vendors. This involves not only internal communication between plugabbles and host router but also external communication with IP, optical, and higher-layer controllers. Sharing insights in achieving this interop, including IETF and OIF activities.
Reza Rokui, Senior Director of Product Line Management, Ciena
As principal SDN controller PLM, Reza is responsible to provide the vision and execution of Ciena’s IP and Optical applications in a multi-vendor, multi-layer converged network (i.e., Ciena Coherent Routing vision). He is responsible to take the convergence vision to the next level by delivering an industry first true multi-layer IP over Optical transport solution. Previously as Distinguished Member of Technical Staff (DMTS), Reza was the director of product line manager of carrier SDN controller platform at Nokia. He was solution PLM responsible for role of Carrier SDN controller on automation and assurance of 5G E2E network slicing/Transport slicing. He was also responsible for support of IP/MPLS products in areas of Services, Routing, Policy, OAM and 4G EPC on Carrier SDN platform. He possesses over 20 years of experience in telecommunication industry with technical track record and diverse background in IP/MPLS/SDN/Traffic Engineering product management, software engineering and research & development. He is co-author and co-editor of multiple standard documents at IETF and BBF. Reza holds a Ph.D. degree in Control and Robotics from Concordia University in Canada and a master’s degree in electrical engineering from Sharif University of Technology.
EVPN is an umbrella for various VPN variants unified by using BGP as their respective control plane. Presenting the progress of standardization of the EVPN OAM enhancements and the use cases that benefit from proactive defect detection using BFD.
