  2. Shortest Path Bridging (SPB) • An Ethernet standard: IEEE 802.1aq • “SPB enables customers to simplify network creation and management by requiring service provisioning only at the edge of the network. SPB saves time, effort, and reduces human error by dynamically building and maintaining the network topology between nodes using Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS), a proven carrier-grade link state protocol. Establishing a multi-path fabric for traffic distribution, SPB maximizes bandwidth utilization on all paths and executes seamless, sub-second network changes”1 • Translation: much lower operating cost, greater throughput, lower latency, higher reliability… it’s magic 1. http://www.c2shop.gr/eflash/networking-industry-leaders-to-showcase-shortest-path-bridging-interoperability-at-interop-2013/

  4. Real life proof point … • The largest temporary network in the world! • Interop 2011- Vendor A sent 20 network engineers to hot stage • Interop 2012- Vendor B sent 25 network engineers to hot stage • Interop 2013- Avaya sent 3 network engineers to hot stage “Four system engineers completed the network installation in three days - 1/10 the resources of previous events. Then, for the next five days, the show tested the mettle of Shortest Path Bridging …Avaya Fabric Connect met the challenge without a single incident related to the Avaya solution. Layer 2, Layer 3, Unicast and Multicast services ran flawlessly over Avaya Fabric Connect the entire event. Mission accomplished.” “This year's InteropNet demonstrated that, ideologically motivated debating points aside, SPB just works.”
