Tuesday 29th November 2022

SIG-NGN is the Special Interest Group on Next Generation Networks.

This meeting of the 10th meeting of the SIG will be held virtually.

Theme

"Programmable networks and their control planes"

During the next meeting, we will focus on presentations and discussion on programmable network technology. P4 and software dataplanes based on DPDK are the current popular solutions, as well as MPLS/IPv6 segment routing as an alternative paradigm. Switching and routing control plane software, to build complete solutions is also emerging.
