This white paper examines how Flex-Algo enables service-aware traffic engineering by embedding constraint-based path computation directly into the Interior Gateway Protocol. It explores how distributed routing intelligence can support low-latency, resiliency-focused, and cost-optimized services across shared IP infrastructures without relying on complex overlay models or extensive path programming. The paper also outlines architectural principles, operational considerations, and deployment models for integrating Flex-Algo within segment routing environments to improve scalability, simplify operations, and support evolving AI-driven and multi-domain networking requirements.

AI is everywhere. But its value only flows where networks can carry it.
AI is scaling beyond the data center into distributed inference across clouds and the edge. Ciena’s Vini Santos explains how turning that intelligence into real value requires IP networks built for performance, adaptability, and scale.
