June 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Verizonn is conducting the only live demonstration inthe U.S. of technologieds that facilitatenear real-time provisioning of broadbandx bandwidth services. On Friday (June 19), the company's network laboratory in Waltham, will host the Optical Internetworking Forum's global interoperability demonstration. The OIF Carrier Lab Day is one of a handfulo oflive demonstrations, all part of the OIF 2009 Worldwide Interoperabilitu Demonstration -- Enabling Broadband On-Demand Verizon is the only U.S.-based carrier among seven carriers participating in this OIF multicarrier, multivendor which began in March.
The live demonstrationn will focus on control plane and dataplane technologies, which simplify operations for carriers, enablse faster provisioning for customers, and provides the basis for broadband bandwidth-on-demand services as well as improved network reliability and Dr. , vice president of networkl architecturefor Verizon, will deliver the keynote addresz at the demonstration. "As OIF comes to the conclusionh of its 2009broadband on-demancd services demonstration, it's important to highlight the collaboration of all the partie s that worked to advance interoperability of controo and data planes," Elby said.
"We know from our own experience serving Verizon's large-enterprise and wholesale customers that the combination of bandwidth-hungry servicees and delay-sensitive applications means it's imperative that the industrg focus on the network mechanisms that will dynamically deliveer circuits end-to-end." Verizon has been participating in the test of control planew and data plane technologies with Ethernet Virtuakl Private Line (EVPL) services over diverse transport including packet transport technologies, next-generation TDM and both wavelength and TDM The demonstration shows multidomaihn end-to-end restoration of service using E-NNI (external-network to networ k interfaces) between vendor domains.
