Speakers
Description
Our presentation will highlight the procedural changes made at GÉANT to enable the packet layer migration of all routing equipment in the GÉANT backbone network. We will highlight the importance of working in cross-disciplinary teams, the challenges that come with this and how we have overcome them. We will present how both backbone and NREN-facing services are migrated via the GÉANT Automation Platform (GAP), including an overview of the architecture of the GAP platform, as well as an in-depth explanation on how migration workflows are put into practice. The presentation will also include an update of the status of the network, and of the transition to new Nokia platform. We believe this will be of interest for the TNC audience, as we will show not only how GÉANT is migrating its network services, but also how we are achieving this within a team combining expertise across multiple domains and by using a software platform developed in cooperation with our community.
