Light Reading publishes EANTC's Megatest of Cisco’s IP Video Infrastructure

Light Reading, a TechWeb online magazine commissioned EANTC to independently test Cisco's video infrastructure called medianets. We challenged Cisco by asking: How much of the medianets vision is already available for an independent test today?

Cisco was ready for our test of all aspects of the medianets infrastructure. It was an extraordinary effort: fifteen Cisco business units were involved, preparations took six months, and uncounted Cisco systems participated. We tested the service delivery network, the end-user applications and Cisco’s IP video data center components. The results are published in three articles on Light Reading’s website.

MPLS and Carrier Ethernet: Service - Connect - Transport

In January 2009, engineers from the 15 participating vendors came to EANTC's lab in Berlin to perform a series of tests focusing on the latest in MPLS and Ethernet based packet transport.

The results of EANTC's public multi-vendor interoperability test were showcased at the MPLS & Ethernet World Congress  in Paris February 11-13, 2009.
