Leverages programmable interfaces and analytics-driven
automation to build fluid architecture. Uses the same
models across a diverse set of physical and virtual
platforms. No more box-centric networks, CLI scripts or
error-prone manual processes.
Developed to be open, standards-based and to embrace
disaggregated interoperability across all network layers.
No more proprietary APIs and closed solution models.
Powered by Ciena’s Modern Container Based Service
Aware Operating System (SAOS). Enables disaggregation
with one code base for physical, virtual and disaggregated
routing. Avoids legacy feature bloat. No more complete OS
or platform revamps

How AIPA works in a multi-vendor network
Adaptive IP Apps see the network as
the routers see it
•Maintain an always accurate control
plane model
•Passively collect and record all
IGP/BGP messages by joining the
real-time control plane
•Collect information about SR and
RSVP-TE tunnels in real-time
•Collect service-level information on
EVPNs, L2 VPNs, L3 VPNs
•Collect streaming telemetry and IP
SLA performance metrics
•Collect route-policies
•Collect static information
•Collect OTN topology and state
Adaptive IP Apps
Traffic flows and performance metrics are correlated with the control plane model for path-aware network analysis

menu, isolate timeframe with slider, compare to
expected behavior
Traffic Analytics
Traffic matrix visualization
Traffic simulation
Automated failures
Blue line shows the
number of BGP routes
compared against grey
baseline to give indication
of “normal” behavior
