How SRLinux brings modern security to the peering edge
SRLinux's rich routing capabilities, combined with the compelling cost point of 7250 IXR routers, are driving significant interest in this solution for Internet peering. Security is a fundamental concern at the Internet peering edge, highlighted by BGP hijacks and route leaks that now get front-page attention. Significant investments are being made in both SR OS and SRLinux to address these risks and provide best-in-class observability and mitigation. In this session, we'll show RPKI ROV catching a hijack, ASPA path validation exposing a route leak, and RAVEN — Nokia's open-source observability tool. We'll cover the SR Linux roadmap for RPKI, BMP, flowspec, and other security-related features, alongside the broader peering feature set that's preparing the 7250 IXR for serious Internet edge deployments. You'll leave with a practical best-practices checklist and a clear view of where both BGP routing security and SR Linux/IXR's peering capabilities are headed.

From programmable to intelligent networks - 5G-ready transport with automation, digital twin & AI
This presentation showcases our journey toward building a 5G-ready, programmable, observable, and resilient IP transport network. At its foundation, SRv6, network slicing, and routing simplification provide the scalability and flexibility required for next-generation services, while automation reduces operational complexity and manual intervention.
We will demonstrate how Digital Twin and What-If analysis enable predictive capacity planning and resiliency testing by simulating failures, traffic growth, and network changes before they are deployed. Sauron eBPF-based observability adds deep, real-time visibility, with anomaly detection across captured metrics helping identify abnormal network behaviour and accelerate troubleshooting. Building further on this data foundation, AI-driven design compliance validates network intent and engineering policies continuously, moving operations from manual checks to intelligent, automated assurance. Together, these capabilities create a closed-loop operating model—observe, analyse, simulate, validate, and automate—driving greater operational efficiency, faster innovation, and improved network resiliency as we evolve from a programmable network toward an increasingly intelligent and autonomous network.
Repeatable Data Center Fabrics at scale
There’s a lot of complex technical decisions that go into building data centers at scale and an opaque mapping between those and the business drivers behind why we build data centers in the first place. When you want a data center that just works without the design hassle, look no further than Nokia Validated Designs (NVDs). This session introduces the NVD program for datacenter fabrics and discusses how NVDs provide a repeatable data center experience, the tooling we’re building to easily consume and deploy NVDs, the details behind our existing/upcoming designs, and ultimately what all of this means for you.
