Page 2 of 2 In its press release announcing the T1600 Juniper has secured endorsement for this approach from BT, whose 21CN is one of the worlds' most ambitious and advanced next generation network projects. BT Group CTO, Matt Bross (who was also quoted by Cisco endorsing the CRS-1!) said: "As we accelerate the build-out of [21CN] and transition to an IP-based world where services are applications, we're empowering end-users with control, choice and flexibility like never before. The...T1600...will allow us to increase network capacity in line with escalating service demands without adding incremental systems to the network so that we can speed new service deployment, deliver a superior end-user experience and maximise our existing T-series investments to meet our cost transformation objectives."

In the release Juniper claimed that, "As service providers accelerate their transition to next-generation networks, they have compromised service awareness in the core to keep pace with the escalating capacity and throughput demands required to meet the increasing expectations of business, residential and mobile users. Juniper quoted Tom Nolle, president of consultancy CIMI Corporation, saying: "If you throw traffic into a mill of statistical probabilities anywhere along the path, you cannot be sure that users will get what they pay for. The best network solution is one that knows your traffic from end-to-end, at every point where it's touched by resources. That's the solution Juniper's providing." It is also a solution that undermines the concept of net neutrality, being hotly debated in the US at present. Juniper announced its SRC portfolio in March claiming it would "provide real-time service management through open interfaces and deep policy control capabilities that enable service providers to provide a satisfying user experience for multiplay, voice, video and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) mobile services in next-generation networks." SRC comprises application running on Junipers' SDX-300 Service Deployment System, and the new C-series family of controllers. SRC applications gather and compile data from multiple sources - the network, subscribers and applications - and use this information to automatically control and manage network resources in real time. According to Juniper, "The Session and Resource Control portfolio overcomes the operational complexities of deploying advanced multimedia services, and is closely aligned with emerging next-generation network architectures and specifications proposed by industry organisations including ETSI/TISPAN, the ITU, 3GPP IMS and CableLabs."{moscomment} |
