Powerful and flexible traffic engineering software simplifies and automates provisioning, management, and monitoring of Segment Routing and IP/MPLS flows across large networks.
Juniper Paragon Pathfinder is a cloud-native controller that simplifies traffic engineering for transport service paths, including MPLS/RSVP, segment routing, and network slicing. It enables efficient management of strict transport service SLAs through automated planning, provisioning, proactive monitoring, and optimization of large traffic loads based on user-defined constraints.
