Network technology giant Cisco will pitch for segment routing and ‘video-aware networking’ at IBC 2017. “At IBC in Amsterdam this week, Cisco is showcasing how networking solutions such as segment routing can offer significant benefits to delivering multiplay services, including video to any screen,” said company.
