EANTC MPLS SDN Interoperability Test 2023
EANTC published the results of the annual multi-vendor MPLS SDN interoperability test event. The results are showcased live at Upperside's MPLS SD & AI Net World Congress 2023 in Paris. Detailed descriptions of each test and its results are published in our 64-page test report.
More than 80 attendees (onsite and remote) from these 17 vendors teamed up to validate the interoperability and integration of state-of-art telecom transport network technologies.
EANTC designed the interoperability test cases to probe the maturity of transport network solutions to support 5G network services, data center networking evolution, and multi-vendor domain orchestration. The event covered more than 60 test cases evaluated in many multi-vendor combinations, and more than 1,230 test results were achieved. The latest innovations in the following technology areas were covered:
EVPN
- IPv6 Unnumbered Underlay and IPv6 VTEP
- Optimized Inter-subnet Multicast Forwarding (OISM)
- EVPN-VPWS Seamless Integration
- EVPN Gateway Interworking
