IP/MPLS Transport and Routing
IP/MPLS has long been a cornerstone of modern transport networks. It is a proven but complex technology with a wide range of configuration options. To ensure reliable services, networks must be carefully validated for functionality, scalability, performance, and resiliency before deployment. Proper quality of service and clock synchronization are essential to deliver highly available business and consumer services.
At the same time, Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is reshaping the transport domain by making networks more cost-efficient, flexible, and application-aware. Decoupling control from forwarding functions enables centralized programmability and intelligent resource management across large-scale infrastructures.
EANTC Testing Services
Our portfolio in the IP/MPLS and SDN domain includes:
Proof of Concept and Acceptance Testing: Independent evaluation of scale, performance, functionality, security, resiliency, and interoperability tailored to each customer’s network requirements.
Network Audits: Analysis and troubleshooting of existing IP/MPLS networks, including routing and switching, Quality of Service, and performance optimization.
5G Transport Readiness: Assessment of synchronization capabilities, MPLS node functionality, and KPI validation to ensure your transport network can support current and future 5G use cases.
Openness and Programmability: Validation of end-to-end network programmability and manageability through open APIs and models such as NETCONF/YANG.
