As Service Providers are deploying value-added triple-play or quadruple play services to maintain or generate a higher average revenue per user, overall Service Availability becomes increasingly important. High Availability techniques such as Fast Convergence or MPLS TE FRR have focused on raising the availability of the network core in the past. These techniques are being increasingly deployed in Ethernet Aggregation networks, for example by introducing MPLS TE FRR in the aggregation. Also, additional high-availability mechanism are being developed to enhance the resilience of the IP Edge against failures. Examples of new developments include ASR 9000 nV, BGP Prefix Independent Convergence for both the Core and Edge, or even stateful application inter-chassis redundancy mechanisms to overcome single-system outages. This Session aims to provide the audience with best current practices to increase service availability by deploying Cisco High-Availability mechanisms in both the Aggregation and the IP Edge. Traditional HA techniques such as NSF/SSO, BFD, Fast convergence or NSR are reviewed. The details of new technologies such as BGP PIC are discussed in depth. Furthermore, advanced topics such as achieving HA for Layer 4-7 services or stateful inter-chassis redundancy solutions are introduced. The Session provides the best current practices of deploying the tools offered by the Cisco High-availability toolset, in particular the deployment of ASR 9000 nV technologies clustering, which SPs may use to increase the availability of their IP Edge architecture.
