The Future of Core Routing - Live Online Meeting

Join Avici Systems, Axiowave Networks, Chiaro Networks and Cisco Systems on Wednesday, September 8, 2004 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time.

The forklift upgrade for the network core is inevitable. This online meeting provides a status report on developments in the core router market at a moment when many service providers will be keen to review their options following the launch of Cisco’s CRS-1. Can Cisco and Juniper keep their lock on the core? Do smaller players have a chance to build share?

The live online meeting will identify fundamental drivers for further core investment and carrier requirements for the new core, showing how they're being addressed by equipment manufacturers. In addition, they will address the following questions:

1. Why is this next-gen core needed?
2. How is this build-out different from the existing core?
3. What features will carriers require for the next-gen IP/MPLS core?
