Review of ST2110 Architectures & Network Orchestration

Part 1 – A Review of ST2110 Architectures – Looking Back From the Field Deployed architectures for ST2110 live production have evolved and matured since the initial Monolithic installations. Leaf and Spine provides flexibility and a closer alignment to “Cloud Architecture”. This review of architectural deployments will dig into the lessons we should draw from these deployments, with regard to flexibility, initial and ongoing costs, ease of use and expansion, and provide some pointers to current and potential future direction. Part 2 – Maximizing Scale and Performance With Network Orchestration Dynamic Multicast works well in smaller installations, but when scale and all-out performance are needed, SDN, or Network Orchestration for ST2110 flows is essential. Orchestration allows a system to be maximally efficient in bandwidth terms, while also providing much-improved performance and scale over dynamic IGMP/PIM systems.
