Meet The Team
We deliver common software modules for Cisco Network Operating System (NOS) IOS XR and work on forwarding infra-areas along with complete L2 forwarding (PD) portfolio on DNX (BCM chipset based) products. L2 PD includes EVPN (p2p/p2mp), VPWS, VPLS running over different transport services that forms the next gen network for SP/Webscalar customers. This complex network management needs different protocols e.g. ERPS, MSTP, PVRST, LACP, LLDP, L2PT, Dot1x for catering different requirements.
