Building Scalable Service Provider IP Networks: Connection-Oriented Networking Solutions

Overview In many large IP networks, service providers have deployed connection-oriented ATM network cores to optimize bandwidth utilization and increase IP service predictability via ATM traffic engineering and infrastructure resilience. Though this has worked well, and indeed has enabled the current explosive growth of the Internet, there is a desire to simplify network operations by reducing the number of control planes operating in the network (currently ATM and IP). One emerging technology, Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), has been widely identified as a new tool to help service providers meet the often-conflicting challenges of increased predictability, growth in revenue, and cost reduction. As will be discussed in this white paper, it is MPLS’s connection-oriented nature that provides an ability to increase IP service predictability, create differentiated IP services, and potentially reduce operation costs in IP-centric and multi-service networks.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
