Converged SDN Transport SRv6 Design 

This in-depth guide adds SRv6 uSID transport to the Converged SDN Transport Design. SRv6 enables a new level of simplicity and power to networks carrying any type of service traffic. Harnessing the power of IPv6, the service and transport layers are converged into a single seamless easy to operate network without the complexities of MPLS label distribution and switching.

Managing Routed Optical Networking using OpenConfig  

Cisco's innovation with Routed Optical Networking doesn't stop at routing hardware and optics. Programmability and telemetry via open standards has been a key tenet to the solution since it was introduced in 2020. In this blog we explore using OpenConfig to provision and monitor OIF 400ZR and OpenZR+ DCO transceivers.
