Real World Open Networking Part 4 Interoperability Problems With In our last post we looked at different general patterns of standards compliance in open network solutions. in this post we drill down another layer to look at interoperability at the application program interface (api) level, which creates issues at a level beyond standards. Customers are drawn to open networking by the flexibility and potential cost savings, but are under the false assumption that open solutions are inherently interoperable. this is not true.
Real World Open Networking Part 4 Interoperability Problems With The assumption is that open standards compliant components will be interoperable. in this post we examine the many reasons why that assumption does not always hold in real world situations. Explore the hidden costs of poor network interoperability in telecom infrastructure. learn how open standards, sdn, and real world testing improve performance, enhance scalability, and ensure seamless optical fiber integration. The test results will allow end users to browse the many combinations of open networking products (network device, pluggable, and network operating system) that are proven to be interoperable. Without a strong vendor commitment to open standards, the internet, we all know and enjoy today, simply wouldn’t exist. i would like to call out two major innovations – segment routing (sr) and ethernet vpn (evpn) – where cisco has played a leading and active role in the industry and at the ietf.

Several issues identified were related to the fact that applications and controllers were not aware of the different open flow switch pipelines. among others, this predominantly manifested as interoperability problems in topology discovery and flow programming scenarios. In this paper, we explore sip interoperability (or lack thereof) by proposing systematic methodologies for identifying and analyzing the basic level protocol interoperability issues that plague sip usage in the real world. In these events, companies can test interoperability and performance of their latest developments against each other in an engineering environment, enabling the speed up of the standardization process and the promotion of universal interoperability through an open and market driven process. Customers are drawn to open networking by the flexibility and potential cost savings, but are under the false assumption that open solutions are inherently interoperable. this is not true. an open solution and an interoperable solution are not the same thing.
