We’re thrilled to announce the EANTC Multi-Vendor MPLS & SDN Interoperability Test Event 2026, which will be held in collaboration with Upperside World Congress, previously named “MPLS World Congress”. The testing will occur in Berlin from January 26 to February 6, 2026.
The technical test areas will focus on end-to-end validation of innovations in Segment Routing (SR-MPLS, SRv6), EVPN, Orchestration and Automation, and Time Synchronization. Key topics include segment routing with Flex-Algo and bi-directional policies, end-to-end network slicing, data center overlay automation, real-time telemetry, time sync over MACsec and DWDM, EVPN services over SRv6/SR-MPLS, SDN-controlled multicast, and Ethernet-based transport interoperability for AI/HPC workloads.
The test results will be published and presented live at the Paris Congress from March 24 to 26, 2026. EANTC’s showcase is a well-established event that benefits vendors and provides a unique ecosystem for fostering collaboration and innovation in the most advanced network scenarios. EANTC ensures a comprehensive testing environment tailored to service providers’ needs.
