In a recent blog post, Aviz showcased their efforts to enhance network routing protocols and address bugs in production deployments. They focused on enabling Free Range Routing (FRR) features, implementing Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) for router redundancy, and utilizing Spanning Tree variants to prevent network loops. Additionally, they introduced Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation (MLAG) for improved link aggregation and EVPN enhancements for layer 2 and layer 3 VPN services.
Aviz also tackled bugs discovered in production deployments, specifically addressing issues with network fabric stability during virtual machine migrations. By identifying failure modes and applying patches, they were able to improve the overall performance and reliability of the network infrastructure.
Furthermore, Aviz developed a software component to standardize monitoring data across different silicon vendors. This software collects ASIC-specific logs and network operating system telemetry, translating them into a uniform format for consistent troubleshooting and capacity planning. This normalization process ensures network operators can effectively manage and monitor their infrastructure, regardless of the underlying hardware components.
Overall, Aviz’s validated enterprise deployment scenarios cater to various network architectures, including IP CLOS for predictable latency and scalability, EVPN/VXLAN for overlay networks, and MLAG for link redundancy. With validated runbooks for data center, edge, and AI fabric use cases, Aviz provides a comprehensive solution for network deployment and management.
