The Cisco® Application Engineered Routing solution provides end-to-end control over how the network infrastructure transports applications. In the past, dedicated clusters of servers would deliver specific applications, but the number and diversity of applications continue to increase as the infrastructure becomes more converged.
Traffic patterns are dynamically changing and new applications come with specific transport requirements. Combining Segment Routing (SR) with the Cisco WAN Automation Engine (WAE) provides the necessary intelligence to optimize network resources and make informed decisions dynamically, helping to ensure a consistent, high-quality customer experience.
This white paper describes SR and the Cisco WAE and highlights how they work together to deliver an intelligent, dynamic, highly optimized network.
Application Engineered Routing Enables Applications and Network Infrastructur...Cisco Service Provider
What if applications could communicate their requirements - such as bandwidth, latency, and jitter - and get the network infrastructure to dynamically provide them? Application Engineered Routing gives you this level of agility. The Cisco® Application Engineered Routing solution provides end-to-end control over how your network infrastructure transports your applications. Tying specific application requirements to a deeper understanding of the network infrastructure state gives you the power to optimize your network resources and make informed decisions dynamically, helping to ensure a consistent, high-quality customer experience.
Segment routing is a network technology focused on addressing the pain points of existing IP and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks in terms of simplicity, scale, and ease of operation. It’s a foundation for application engineered routing because it prepares the networks for new business models where applications can direct network behavior.
Segment routing seeks the right balance between distributed intelligence and centralized optimization and programming. It was built for the software-defined networking (SDN) era.
Segment routing enables enhanced packet forwarding behavior. It enables a network to transport unicast packets through a specific forwarding path, other than the normal shortest path that a packet usually takes. This capability benefits many use cases, and you can build those specific paths based on application requirements.
Segment routing uses the source routing paradigm. A node, usually a router but it can also be a switch, a trusted server, or a virtual forwarder running on a hypervisor, steers a packet through an ordered list of instructions, called segments. A segment can represent any instruction, topological or service-based. A segment can have a local semantic to a segment-routing node or global within a segment-routing network. Segment routing allows you to enforce a flow through any topological path and service chain while maintaining per-flow state only at the ingress node to the segment-routing network. To be aligned with modern IP networks, segment routing supports equal-cost multipath (ECMP) by design, and the forwarding within a segment-routing network uses all possible paths, when desired.
Segment routing is a technology that is gaining popularity as a way to simplify MPLS networks. It has the benefits of interfacing with software-defined networks and allows for source-based routing. It does this without keeping state in the core of the network and needless to use LDP and RSVP-TE.

Description:
Networks are moving toward simplification, increased operational efficiency, and programmability using technologies such as software-defined networking. Cisco continues to demonstrate innovation by introducing the concept of segment routing in the data center, making the network more intelligent and adaptive to the applications running on top of it. Segment routing delivers application-optimized network transport. Encoding the path information directly at the source (that is, either at the virtual switch or at the top of rack) and using per-app policies, segment routing puts control in the hands of the network operators by empowering them to create secure, adaptive, and optimal paths based on the requirements of the application itself.

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging trend in the networking and communication industry and promises to deliver enormous benefits, from reduced costs to more efficient network operations. It is a new approach that gives network operators and owners more control of the infrastructure, allowing optimization, customization and virtualization that enable the creation of new types of network services. This is done by decoupling the management and control planes that make decisions about where traffic is sent from (the control plane) the underlying hardware that forwards data traffic to the selected destination (the data plane).
The article looks into the current state of the art of dynamic routing protocols with respect to their
possibilities to react to changes in the Quality of Service when selecting the best route towards a
destination network. New options that could leverage information about the ever changing QoS parameters
for data communication are analysed and a Cisco Performance Routing solution is described more in
detail. The practical part of this work focuses on a design and implementation of a test bed that provides a
scalable laboratory architecture to manipulate QoS parameters of different data communications flowing
through it. The test bed is used in various use cases that were used to evaluate Cisco Performance Routing
optimization capabilities in different scenarios.
ENHANCING AND MEASURING THE PERFORMANCE IN SOFTWARE DEFINED NETWORKINGIJCNCJournal
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a challenging chapter in today’s networking era. It is a network design approach that engages the framework to be controlled or 'altered' adroitly and halfway using programming applications. SDN is a serious advancement that assures to provide a better strategy than displaying the Quality of Service (QoS) approach in the present correspondence frameworks. SDN etymologically changes the lead and convenience of system instruments using the single high state program. It separates the system control and sending functions, empowering the network control to end up specifically. It provides more functionality and more flexibility than the traditional networks. A network administrator can easily shape the traffic without touching any individual switches and services which are needed in a network. The main technology for implementing SDN is a separation of data plane and control plane, network virtualization through programmability. The total amount of time in which user can respond is called response time. Throughput is known as how fast a network can send data. In this paper, we have design a network through which we have measured the Response Time and Throughput comparing with the Real-time Online Interactive Applications (ROIA), Multiple Packet Scheduler, and NOX.
Reliable and efficient data dissemination scheme in VANET: a review IJECEIAES
Vehicular ad-hoc network (VANET), identified as a mobile ad hoc network MANETs with several added constraints. Basically, in VANETs, the network is established on the fly based on the availability of vehicles on roads and supporting infrastructures along the roads, such as base stations. Vehicles and road-side infrastructures are required to provide communication facilities, particularly when enough vehicles are not available on the roads for effective communication. VANETs are crucial for providing a wide range of safety and non-safety applications to road users. However, the specific fundamental problem in VANET is the challenge of creating effective communication between two fast-moving vehicles. Therefore, message routing is an issue for many safety and non-safety of VANETs applications. The challenge in designing a robust but reliable message dissemination technique is primarily due to the stringent QoS requirements of the VANETs safety applications. This paper investigated various methods and conducted literature on an idea to develop a model for efficient and reliable message dissemination routing techniques in VANET.

Multi port network ethernet performance improvement techniquesIJARIIT
An Ethernet has its own importance and space in network subsystem. In today’s resource-intensive engineering the
applications need to deal with the real-time data processing, server virtualization, and high-volume data transactions. The realtime
technologies such as video on demand and Voice over IP operations demand the network devices with efficient network
data processing as well as better networking bandwidth. The performance is the major issues with the multi-port network
devices. It requires the sufficient network bandwidth and CPU processing speed to process the real-time data at the context.
And this demand is goes on increasing. The new multi-port hardware technologies can help to improvements in the
performance of the virtualized server environments. But, these hardware technologies having their own limitations in terms of
CPU utilization levels and power consumption. It also impacts on latency and the overall system cost. This thesis will provide
the insights to some of the key configuration decisions at hardware as well as software designs in order to facilitate multi-port
network devices performance improvement over the existing infrastructure. This thesis will also discuss the solutions such as
Virtual LAN and balanced or symmetric network to reduce the cost and hardware dependency to improve the multi-port
network system performance significantly over the currently existing infrastructure. This performance improvement includes
CPU utilization and bandwidth in the heavy network loads.

Cognitive routing in software defined networks using learning models with lat...IAESIJAI
To address latency and throughput challenges in software defined networks (SDNs), the research investigates cognitive routing's revolutionary implications. In today's data-driven world, network performance optimisation is crucial. Cognitive routing is a dynamic and potentially disruptive network management technology. Cognitive routing, strengthened by reinforcement learning and adaptive decision-making, is crucial to network efficiency and responsiveness, according to our study. The results show that cognitive routing optimises performance by limiting delay and maximising throughput. SDN application cognitive routing engine (CRE) driving forces, design, and preliminary assessment are described in this article. The CRE finds almost optimal paths for a user's quality of service (QoS) need while minimising monitoring overhead. Instead of global monitoring to find optimal paths, local monitoring achieves this. In ad-hoc networks, finding a trustworthy path reduces latency and ensures network stability. The proposed system was simulated utilising many parameters. Compared to previous SDN-based systems, end-to-end latency and ping round-trip time were better.

Research Highlight: Independent Validation of Cisco Service Provider Virtuali...Cisco Service Provider
Service providers want to know how they can build and run programmable, intelligent, responsive, efficient, flexible, and highly secure yet open networks with a high degree of automation. They want to be able to configure and activate new services quickly, utilize emerging cloud capabilities, and meet customer needs. Nimble, smart innovators in the global communications and networking industry are working on the answers and coming up with solutions every day. But providers need to know if these next-generation technologies can already meet their requirements today
In the world of service providers and networks, the demand for new and better services continue to grow, while the networks must expand and quickly adapt to these demands. One way that operators are evolving their network is to adopt some of the latest technologies like NFV (network functions virtualization). Infonetics recently found that 35 percent of the worldwide telecom carriers they surveyed are planning to deploy NFV in 2015. They are doing this because they believe that NFV and its SDN (software-defined networking) architecture will deliver benefits in service agility and new revenue, operational efficiencies and capex savings. Finding new ways to build revenue paths out of the network is critical for operators today as they innovate to find new sources of revenues.
Operators have been looking to Policy to help them find new ways to find value in their network. Specifically, they need a policy platform which can help them quickly adapt to build new services and even new networks for other operators or enterprises. We are now announcing the availability of Cisco Policy Suite version 7.5 for download. With it, operators will benefit from NFV-based policy enforcement and new access selection technologies. These new capabilities are enabling service providers to not only use policy software to open new services and markets, but they are also providing policy to the handset to ensure the best access method for the end user.

Service providers’ businesses and operations are undergoing major changes. New initiatives, like IP convergence, cloud, software-defined networks and network virtualization, are driving new business models. These initiatives are also creating opportunities for new revenue streams and greater efficiencies. Speed, agility and flexibility are required for fast access to IT and new applications. Now is the time to invest effort and resources in figuring out how to make this opportunity work for you. You have a chance to disrupt rather than being disrupted.

Cisco cBR-8 Evolved CCAP: Deliver Scalable Network and Service Growth at a Lo...Cisco Service Provider
An explosion of new over-the-top (OTT) video services and consumer devices is placing huge demand on cable access networks. To compete for new customers and retain the loyalty of existing ones, multiple system operators (MSOs) will need to expand capacity substantially, rolling out new services and gigabit tiers.
As they strive to meet insatiable market demand and stay competitive, MSOs are looking at significant access network capital expenditures (CapEx) increases over the next 5 years - and steadily rising operating expenses (OpEx) due to higher power costs and a larger network footprint. But current integrated Cisco® Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP) solutions are limited to supporting only 24 to 32 channels per service group, and they are not designed to support DOCSIS® 3.1 at scale. Using these platforms, MSOs would need to significantly increase CapEx spend in order to compete with gigabit billboard rates and keep pace with growth.
Alternatively, MSOs can use the Cisco cBR-8 Converged Broadband Router, a full-spectrum CCAP-compliant platform that is designed to support DOCSIS 3.1. The Cisco cBR-8 enables cable operators to offer multigigabit broadband and Internet of Everything (IoE) services, and provide a path to virtualization. It empowers MSOs to scale economically to deliver more capacity and best-in-class services with much lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
This white paper examines the consumer trends affecting cable access networks and the projections for how the network and services will evolve in the coming years. It provides a long-term economic analysis of an evolved access network using the Cisco cBR-8, compared with competitive Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) platforms. And it demonstrates how MSOs will be able to meet capacity and service demands over the next several years at a 40-percent savings in hardware, space, and power costs.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
