1.1. Administrivia, Agenda Bashing (Chairs, 5 min) [5/90]
2 talks, total 35 mins
2.1 Move to the Host (Nicklous Morris, Verizon)
Abstract: Compute infrastructure is generally disconnected from the IP infrastructure at a protocol level and requires the network gear to maintain high scale and feature capability. In order to produce better price points for the IP gear and allow compute vision into the greater network, the encapsulation points must move to the host and the host must fully integrate into the IP “fabric.”
2.2 SRv6 as a Catalyst for Network Shift (Daniel Bernier, Bell Canada)
Abstract: Traditional MPLS/VPN-based service provider architectures are increasingly being displaced by Over-the-Top (OTT) alternatives—often driven by cost rather than performance or strategic alignment. Segment Routing over IPv6 (SRv6) enables a fundamental re-architecture of network services, delivering enhanced programmability, scalability, agility and cost efficiency. When SRv6 is decoupled from its traditional role as an SR-MPLS successor, it unlocks new avenues for innovation, service differentiation, and end-to-end network modernisation.
