This TecForum will explore the latest developments in MPLS, customer-aware OSS, and convergence switching technologies. To capitalize on the promise of data-centric, converged networks, service providers need to explore strategies for migrating to new infrastructures and ensuring the ability to meet future service demand. Equally as important, OSS is playing an increasingly significant role in optimizing the delivery of services to end customers, while keeping a cap on costs. This TecForum will explore the latest strategies for network migration and OSS deployment. The monolithic circuit switches of the traditional PSTN are well known.
