8 (% style="text-align: justify;" %)
9 (% style="color:#000000" %)The technical test areas will focus on end-to-end validation of innovations in Segment Routing (**SR-MPLS, SRv6**), **EVPN, Orchestration and Automation**, and **Time Synchronization**. Key topics include segment routing with Flex-Algo and bi-directional policies, end-to-end network slicing, data center overlay automation, real-time telemetry, time sync over MACsec and DWDM, EVPN services over SRv6/SR-MPLS, SDN-controlled multicast, and Ethernet-based transport interoperability for AI/HPC workloads.

19 (% style="color:#000000" %)EANTC’s interoperability Test Reports are highly regarded by service providers, offering valuable insights into the maturity and readiness of emerging technologies. Our documentation outlines practical use cases and network design templates that operators can integrate into their own architectures. These reports have proven instrumental in launching innovation initiatives, meeting RFP demands related to multi-vendor compatibility, and minimizing the need for redundant Proof-of-Concepts. The initiative creates a collaborative environment where vendors can test and refine interoperability before deployment. Participation in the event boosts solution quality and shortens the rollout time in real-world customer implementations.
