Increasingly sophisticated network operators and users seek highly responsive and customizable cloud-like online experiences and services that align with their unique needs and interests, creating more traffic that consumes increasing amounts of network bandwidth.

The demands of the increased network traffic are driving the creation of new core and peering architectures. Cloud routing allows for more centralized, interconnected cores to help operators scale their networks to meet new service-level agreements.

Competing with the ability to rapidly expand capacity is the need to reduce operational costs; providers are under enormous pressure to lower margins and compete with new entrants and disruptors that do not have legacy networks to maintain. There is immense pressure on core and peering routers to simultaneously address:

• Scale: Providers may offer backbone connectivity that requires a large number of label-switched paths (LSPs). If they are using Segment Routing or RSVP to take advantage of the traffic engineering (SR-TE/RSVP-TE) functionality, the control plane signaling path must be able to scale in step with the growth of LSPs. This ability to scale is needed for both the primary and backup paths to support redundancy mechanisms like fast re-route (FRR). Today, the total number needed for backbone connectivity is a few million. This type of scaling challenge will be felt by operators who are trying to diversify their portfolios by adding a broader scope of connectivity options; for example, a data center operator who wants to provide cloud connectivity or VPN services to enterprise customers, or an operator of private line service who wants to add a collocation service to its offering.
• Operational Flexibility: Virtualized services and the explosion of cloud-based applications are creating increasingly erratic traffic patterns. To handle this unpredictability, service providers need architectures that are flexible and dynamic across all layers. Operators today rely on the flexibility and capacity of IP filters to mitigate the impact of increasing denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
• Investment Protection: Ensuring operators are investing in platforms designed to last has become imperative to leveraging the next generation of ASIC improvements the industry is offering. The risk of packet drops from rip-and-replace strategies to yearly silicon upgrades severely impacts the reliability of future upgrades.

The Evolving Landscape

New traffic dynamics such as mobile, video, and cloud-based services are transforming traditional network patterns and topologies. Stratified, statically designed, and manually operated networks must evolve to support the constantly growing volumes of traffic quickly and economically. Many operators have seen their profits stagnate and TCO increase under the burden of these growing traffic volumes. Cloud and service providers need to become more agile to optimize their existing network resources, shorten planning cycles, and remove rigid network layers.

Operators are facing multiple challenges in the current environment:

• Static scale: Provider and enterprise network backbones handle the full weight of network traffic. It is paramount that core networks are inherently designed for scalability and efficiency. This 800GbE-capable platform, with 10/40/100/400/800GbE inline MACsec, empowers network operators to maintain pace with traffic growth incrementally with an elegant, elastic, redundant ultra compact router.
• Static architecture: Virtualized services and the explosion of cloud-based applications are creating increasingly unpredictable traffic patterns. To handle this unpredictability, service providers need an adaptable platform like the PTX10002-36QDD that scales across the WAN transport in a plethora of roles with flexible programmability to support any service, anywhere.
• Power costs: With the ever-increasing bandwidth demands and associated power utilization projected for WAN routing, power efficiency is of paramount concern. Leading the industry with Express 5 silicon's unparalleled power efficiency, the PTX10002-36QDD minimizes your environmental footprint while maximizing performance by integrating 36x 800GbE or 72x 400GbE interfaces through dual-LC connectors in a compact 2 U form factor.

These transport routers give cloud and communication providers the freedom to develop and deliver new virtualized services anywhere in the network with elastic architectures and precise traffic controls, without compromising the service experience.

The Evolving Landscape

New traffic dynamics such as mobility, video, and cloud-based services are transforming traditional network patterns and topologies. Stratified, statically designed, and manually operated networks must evolve to support the constantly growing volumes of traffic quickly and economically. Many operators have seen their profits stagnate and TCO grow under the burden that these growing traffic volumes are imposing. Cloud and service providers need to become more agile in order to optimize their existing network resources, shorten planning cycles, and remove rigid network layers.

Operators are facing the following challenges under the current environment:

• Static scale: The cloud and communication providers' backbone handles the full weight of network traffic. Therefore, it is paramount that core networks are inherently designed for scalability and efficiency. The 400GbE-capable platforms, 100/400GbE inline MACsec, silicon, system, and SDN innovations for the core empower network operators to scale faster than the traffic in an elegant, elastic, redundant package- without requiring forklift upgrades.
• Static architecture: Virtualized services and the explosion of cloud-based applications are creating increasingly unpredictable traffic patterns. To handle this unpredictability, service providers need a dynamic, scale-out architecture across all layers to create programmable, traffic-optimized networks that support any service, anywhere.
• Power costs: For cloud and communication providers, the operational cost of transmitting a packet through the core is less than the cost of the power required to move that packet. In fact, projections suggest that over a few short years, the total power draw will exceed the cost of deploying the entire network infrastructure. Efficient power utilization by the core router requires a holistic ground-up engineering approach.
• Facility limitations: Service providers cannot grow their facilities exponentially forever. They need innovations that provide a low-touch deployment model optimized around space availability, facility power requirements, and floor weight thresholds.
