Points to be covered:

• What must IPTV do to tempt subscribers from the better cable/satellite offers?
• Is there really a market for non-subscription viewers who want PPV add-ons?
• Is digital switchover a source of new subscribers...and also good revenue units?
• Is DTT/IPTV hybrid the future in markets with good digital terrestrial offers?
• Isn't IPTV and satellite an obvious marriage? Come on....why not?
• Do network acquisitions pay dividends beyond subscriber head count?

FutureNet: MPLS, Ethernet and Beyond (formerly MPLScon) addresses the future of communications services from enterprise, service provider, and vendor prospectives. Now in its eighth year, FutureNet continues to evolve from its roots as an event focused strictly on MPLS and related technologies. This year's FutureNet once again broadens its focus to cover the present and future of enterprise and consumer communications services including MPLS and Ethernet transport services, voice and SIP trunking, evolution of wireless services, video, and network and performance management. In addition, FutureNet explores issues such as network neutrality, service-provider/enterprise demarcation, international challenges, and new triple and quadruple play offerings. FutureNet will continue its focus on both technical and business issues in all of these areas with a target audience of enterprises, service providers, and vendors in the communications services arena.

TUTORIAL: IP/MPLS in Mobile Radio Access Networks
Monday, April 14, 2008, 8:30 AM
Presenter: Nikhal Shah, Mobility/Convergence Solutions and Partnerships
Juniper Networks

Widely deployed broadband is coming to mobile networks in the form of High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) Evolution Data-Optimized (EV-DO) and WiMAX networks enable new mobile applications and services. Some of the biggest challenges that will result from this data and bandwidth explosion will be in the backhaul and aggregation functions that take place in the RAN. Historically RAN backhaul networks have been voice centric, low capacity and a source of major operational expense for mobile operators. New infrastructure technologies need to be able to support legacy access types, leverage cost points of newer transport types such as Carrier (Metro) Ethernet, and leverage the high availability, resiliency, and Quality of Service capabilities of IP/MPLS technology.

This tutorial will examine the principal drivers for a new IP/MPLS backhaul transport infrastructure that accommodates the scaling needs of the evolving mobile networks. Key challenges, options, benefits and tradeoffs are explored for solutions supporting several prevalent applications. Key existing and emerging industry standards/agreements are referenced.

TUTORIAL: Multicast in MPLS/VPLS Networks
Monday, April 14, 2008, 1:30 PM

This tutorial focuses on the emerging industry standards/agreements supporting multicast in BGP/MPLS VPN and VPLS networks. Key options, benefits and tradeoffs are explored for solutions supporting several prevalent service provider and enterprise applications. Key existing and emerging industry standards/agreements are referenced.

Interdomain LDP-BGP VPLS Interworking
Thursday, April 17, 2008, 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Speaker: Amit Shukla, Juniper Networks

VPLS has emerged as one of the dominant MPLS applications today. There are two IETF standards to signal VPLS pseudowires, one using LDP and the other one using BGP as the signaling protocol. Large networks may contain multiple VPLS domains, each setup using a different VPLS-signaling protocol. To extend the VPLS service across these multiple domains, the pseudowires created by the different signaling protocols must be stitched together. Thus, an interworking function is required between the two signaling mechanisms. Existing interdomain VPLS signaling mechanisms are inadequate for this task, as they are based on the assumption that all interconnected domains are using the same signaling mechanism.

This presentation discusses a new scalable and flexible interdomain VPLS signaling scheme which can be used to interconnect multiple domains running either the same or different VPLS signaling mechanisms. We will show how this LDP-BGP VPLS interworking mechanism can be used to create a large-scale VPLS service by deploying BGP-VPLS signaling in the core and gluing existing smaller-scale LDP-VPLS deployments with no changes to the PEs running LDP-VPLS. Some of the highlights of the solution include: resiliency using BGP-VPLS multi-homing, the ability of the border-router providing the interworking function to act as a PE, and use of P2MP LSP within BGP-VPLS domain for efficient flooding and broadcasting.
