This eBook examines how service providers can modernize IP transport networks to meet the demands of AI-driven workloads. It explores the characteristics of AI-ready networks, the technologies that enable them, including SR-MPLS, SRv6, EVPN, and automation, while examining practical approaches to network evolution. Through three real-world modernization scenarios, from Layer 2 network evolution and IP/MPLS modernization to greenfield deployments, gain a practical framework for building scalable, service-aware, and programmable network architectures while preserving service continuity and existing investments.
