(APNIC 28 - APOPS) Challenges in Large IP network deployment, by Echo Liu of WANDL

As carriers are expanding their IP infrastructure into hundreds or even thousands of core and provider edge routers, most will face multi-vendor challenges. For example, the network may have at least two or three router vendors among Alu, Cisco, Huawei, Juniper, Redback, Tellabs, ... Zte, etc. In this presentation, we will discuss an approach using a mixture of CLI and SNMP to handle multi-vendor configuration managements, provisioning and network planning of MPLS TE/FRR, MPLS VPN and Metro Ethernets services.
