Choosing the Right Telecom Technology for Extreme Mission-Critical Networks
By OTN SystemsBack in 2010, OTN Systems took the right decision to choose MPLS TP as the backbone technology to design a telecom product for extreme mission-critical networks.
Bidirectional paths, independence between the control plane and data plane, software controlled network, OAM features, the ability to effectively handle large multipoint networks are just a few of the reasons. Each one of them, in and of themselves, a subject for a separate article.
