White Paper Abstract:
The concept of a highly resilient IP network is not new; however, this paper introduces a highly innovative approach. The intelligent systems approach creates a highly optimized, resilient IP network where individual component features interact and share services among each other. The result is a network that is inherently more intelligent and less labor-intensive in terms of design and management. Cisco IOS® Software is evolving into a more intelligent, shared function system that reduces support costs and increases the benefit and return on investment in network equipment and services.
