Understanding IPv6 Addressing
The rapid growth of devices has exhausted IPv4 addresses, hindering expansion. Transitioning to IPv6, with its vast address space, eliminates the need for complex techniques like NAT, enhances security and supports emerging technologies. Embracing IPv6 future-proofs networks, ensuring seamless connectivity and efficient address allocation.
Cisco Live 2026: What the WWT Networking Team Learned in Las Vegas
Each year, Cisco Live brings together tens of thousands of networking professionals for a week of announcements, deep-dive sessions, and the kind of candid conversations that only happen in person. This year in Las Vegas, WWT sent a team of networking subject matter experts covering wireless, switching, SD-WAN, core routing, optical networking, and data center networking. What they brought back was a consistent signal: AI is no longer a strategy conversation, it is an infrastructure conversation, and the network is squarely at the center of it.

Cisco SR-MPLS or Cisco SRv6 uSID: Choosing the Right Path for Your Network
A deep-dive comparison of Cisco's two Segment Routing implementations — SR-MPLS, built on the proven MPLS data plane, and SRv6 uSID, built natively on IPv6 — where they diverge, where they excel and how to choose the right path forward.
HPE Discover 2026: Why Networking Is the Foundation of Enterprise AI
HPE Discover 2026 made one thing clear: AI success depends on the network beneath it. HPE's new AI-ready switches and self-driving network vision highlight the need for faster, more intelligent, secure infrastructure.
SR-MPLS Traffic Engineering Lab
Organizations rely on MPLS on multiple platforms to deliver mission-critical applications and services. Segment Routing is the next-generation evolution of traditional MPLS, and here we look at SR-MPLS and Traffic Engineering. We will perform distributed Traffic Engineering computations from the headend routers and utilize an SR PCE for centralized traffic engineering.
Partner POV | Why utilities should swap legacy multiplexers for IP/MPLS routers
Are legacy multiplexers slowing down your grid modernization and automation efforts? Today would be a great day to start replacing them. And Nokia is ready to help.
Extreme Networks Foundations
In this Learning Path, you will build a foundational understanding of enterprise networking concepts and the Extreme Networks platform. Starting from core networking principles, including switching and routing fundamentals, this path introduces IS-IS as the control plane that powers Extreme Fabric Connect, explaining how it builds and distributes topology information across the fabric to enable automatic VLAN reachability without manual route configuration. Learners will explore how BGP bridges the fabric to the WAN, enabling inter-site routing and internet access through Extreme SD-WAN appliances — whether traffic is forwarded directly over the WAN transport or selectively broken out locally based on policy. Together these technologies provide the groundwork for understanding how modern enterprise networks are designed, interconnected, and extended across multiple sites with Extreme Networks.
AI's Hidden Bottleneck: The Network Between Your Data Centers
AI infrastructure investment is accelerating, but the network connecting data centers is often the overlooked bottleneck. This post examines how Segment Routing (SR-MPLS and SRv6) eliminates the complexity and latency that hold back DCI performance — enabling traffic engineering, fast reroute and operational simplicity that AI workloads demand. Learn how WWT helps organizations modernize their core network to match the scale of their AI ambitions.

Partner POV | The Impact of AI on IP Network Evolution
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is taking the world by storm. A whirlwind of media attention and the impressive feats of generative AI models such as OpenAi's ChatGPT or Google's Gemini, clearly show that AI is a force to be reckoned with that will become even more formidable with future generations of Graphics Processing Units and large language models that are powering AI.
Squeeze ROI Out of Legacy Technology With Converged IT/OT Solutions
WWT, Cisco and Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories recently demonstrated a converged transport solution aimed at helping utility organizations at the DistribuTECH International conference.
Four Ways to Accelerate TDM-to-IP Migration
Unprecedented bandwidth demand is straining legacy TDM systems, which are quickly becoming antiquated. Transitioning from TDM-to-IP is an evolution of the network — a convergence of voice, data and video into a single packet-based network.
TDM-to-IP Briefing
TDM technologies have been a critical tool for telecoms, utilities and many other organizations for decades. However, in recent years there has been a massive decline in research, development and support for TDM hardware and software. This has caused the industry to migrate towards solutions that provide TDM endpoint capability, delivered through a modern IP core network. The technologies associated with this transition are referred to as TDM-to-IP, and WWT partners closely with leading OEMs to offer the best in class transition strategy.

Is Hop-by-Hop the Future of Optical Transport Networking?
Have the optical networking and routing stars aligned? They very well may have. Let's take a look at why.
Intro to Segment Routing Lab
MPLS has been around for over two decades and is the cornerstone of Service Provider Networks and many enterprise, utility and federal networks. MPLS delivers mission-critical applications and services. Segment Routing has taken the stage to replace MPLS because it accomplishes the same as MPLS but is less complex, extremely robust and can be scaled without limitations. This lab will introduce you to the basics of Segment Routing.
Multi-Domain SR-TE Lab
Organizations rely on MPLS on multiple platforms to deliver mission-critical applications and services. Segment Routing is the evolution of traditional MPLS, and here we look at SR-MPLS and Traffic Engineering across multiple domains with an SR-PCE (Path Computation Element). Traffic Engineering has been around for many years as RSVP-TE; however, being very cumbersome and complex, it has gained very little popularity with few deployments. Segment Routing Traffic Engineering adds a new dimension to Segment Routing including the ability to perform end-to-end traffic engineering across multiple IGP domains.
Intro to ISIS
ISIS is the prevalent IGP routing protocol for multi-protocol routing with support for IPv4 and IPv6. As a link-state routing protocol, it supports fast convergence and fast reroute. Here we explore how easy it is to configure and verify ISIS.
Converged Packet Optical Solutions from WWT and Cisco
As networks grow in size and complexity, managing routing and optical functions can become a challenge. Most organizations want to simplify, but integrating new solutions with legacy systems can be complicated – and costly.
