The MPLS & SDN Interoperability Test Event 2025 results will be presented at the MPLS & SRv6 AI Net World Congress in Paris from March 25 to 27, 2025!
Over the course of three weeks, the hot staging was conducted at EANTC AG, where 12 vendors – Arista, Arrcus, Calnex, Ciena, Ericsson, H3C, Huawei, Juniper, Keysight, Microchip, Nokia, and Ribbon – collaborated with more than 75 engineers, both on-site and remote. Together, they brought all vendor hardware for comprehensive validation, testing the interoperability and integration of 123 devices across 82 different test cases.
Our testing efforts focused on key areas such as EVPN, Orchestration and Automation, SR-MPLS, SRv6, and Time Synchronization. Across all these test areas, multiple vendors conducted extensive interoperability tests, leading to approximately 1,448 test results. These results highlight the robustness and readiness of multi-vendor solutions in real-world deployment scenarios.
The tests covered a wide range of scenarios, including advanced EVPN enterprise service support, inter-domain connectivity solutions for data center interconnection (DCI), disaggregated Open RAN (O-RAN) fronthaul scenarios, 5G backhaul, end-to-end slicing, and Segment Routing (SRv6). Additionally, we explored new traffic engineering and FlexAlgo policies, focusing on energy-efficient intelligent traffic steering.
Starting this Tuesday, March 25, at the MPLS & SRv6 AI Net World Congress in Paris, we will present eight live demos showcasing the key results of our tests. We look forward to welcoming you to our booth, where you can experience these demonstrations firsthand.
