Interoperability Test Event, January 2007

The MPLS World Congress Interoperability event took place January 17-26, 2007 in EANTC's labs in Berlin, Germany.  A total of 13 leading vendors from edge to carrier-class core routers participated in the event which was proven to be challenging yet successful.

EANTC's engineers in collaboration with Deutsche Telekom (T-Systems), Versatel and participating vendors developed a comprehensive test plan following industry best practices, Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) RFCs and Metro Ethernet Standards to verify interoperability between various inter-carrier solutions, access redundancy,  fault monitoring and multicast in L3VPNs.

The resulting networks, supporting business and residential services such as VoIP and IPTV, is presented at the MPLS World Congress in Paris, France in February 7-9, 2007.
