The MPLS & SDN Interoperability Test Event 2025 has concluded, along with the MPLS & SRv6 AI Net World Congress in Paris, which took place 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.
At the MPLS & SRv6 AI Net World Congress in Paris, we presented eight live demos showcasing the key results of our tests. The event was a great success, and we appreciate everyone who joined us at our booth to experience the demonstrations firsthand.
This year, we split the report into a paper-based overview and a much more extensive online version. The complete test report is online!
