Disaggregated Routing Gets Real in Deutsche Telekom

Carsten Michel - Deutsche Telekom
Hannes Gredler - RtBrick, Inc.

Network disaggregation promises great things for carrier networks - more choice, more innovation and lower costs. In this session we hear how Europe’s largest telco has disaggregated its broadband network and turned on IP/MPLS software routing in its IP core. We will discuss what we are trying to achieve, comparisons with traditional router architectures, hardware choices and trade-offs, auto-discovery of fabrics, anycast routing to the backbone, a cloud-native approach to NOS software, how to architect a highly scalable disaggregated BNG, a new set of operational tools and lessons learned.
