KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 27 (Bernama) -- Cisco Systems Inc, together with Vodafone, is demonstrating a new network slicing technique via segment routing, at the Mobile World Congress held from Feb 26 to March 1 in Barcelona, Spain.
Cisco, in a statement said the technique could help to lower and control latency for high-bandwidth applications running on Vodafone's network, to improve the overall entertainment experience for customers streaming video, games, and augmented, virtual or mixed reality streams.
To meet the growth in demand for bandwidth and more devices connected to the network, Vodafone has started to use Cisco segment routing technology to simplify its overall transport network operations by automating core functions to better detect and solve traffic congestion issues.
Segment routing, an innovative IP routing protocol, allows the transport network to differentiate the way it delivers applications, removing legacy protocols and making network operations easier.
Using a software defined network for transport, it will be possible to create a low latency 'slice' (a virtual route within the transport network) that will ensure chosen types of traffic, for instance, automated driving or critical health applications would always choose the route with the shortest end-to-end latency.
Segment routing also improves network resiliency by using 'self-healing' to intuitively restore connectivity in under 50 milliseconds if an issue occurs by rerouting traffic automatically.
