IETF 122: Traffic Engineering, redux

During this Host Speaker Series session at 04:45 - 05:45 UTC on 20 March 2025, Kireeti Kompella, Chief Engineer, WAN BU, at Juniper Networks introduced a new approach to Traffic Engineering (TE) .

This approach resolves the false dichotomy underlying the way many currently look at TE today and yields a much more powerful method of managing traffic.

In this talk, Kireeti started by looking at current ways of managing traffic in networks and a false dichotomy therein. He then introduced a new approach to TE that resolves this dichotomy, yielding a much more powerful method of managing traffic. Then, he talked a little about how this works and concluded with future exploration and implementation plans.
