IPv6 round tableIPv6 Centric Networking
Introduction by
Mark Townsley,
Cisco Fellow
CGIE uses IPv6 to connect video and the network in order to enable intelligent and efficient use of the network from the glass of the camera to the glass of the screen. This creates a path for video delivery to exploit new IPv6 features like segment routing.
Glenn Deen,
Director of Networking and Distribution Technology,
NBCUniversal
To date, CDNs have largely been deployed as overlay systems exploiting DNS or redirects to guide clients to the best cache. While this has served the industry to provide the scaling and availability customers expect as IP video delivery becomes the norm, IP video delivery systems will need to adapt and integrate into the network rather than simply riding on top of it.
Jamie Panagos,
Senior Director of Video Operations,
Charter Communications
Dual-stack doesn't cut it anymore for connecting things to the network and we want to get rid of all the IPv4 baggage as we want to move faster. Therefore IPv6 is the right solution at hand.

AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN
Jean-Marc Uzé,
Chief Architect EMEA,
Juniper Networks
A widely held view is that MPLS labels are identifiers, indicating an equivalent IP Address, a VPN, a Pseudowire or intermediate node. This view limits the capability of the technology by failing to properly consider labels as instructions for later execution on the packet. The IETF work on synonymous labels is an example of expanding the instruction scope of MPLS labels.

Disha Chopra,
Product Line Manager,
Juniper Network
Flexible Ethernet (aka FlexE) is an emergent technology that is expected to be rapidly adopted by next-generation IP/MPLS networks. The core or essential value of FlexE is that it is capable of providing end-to-end connections in an Ethernet network, where each connection serves as a dedicated data path with low latency, deterministic performance, and guaranteed bandwidth for a user or application along with total data separation for privacy and security.
