Key Features

Comprehensive SDN Capabilities

With the accelerated evolution of the intelligent era, enterprise services are becoming increasingly complex, diversified, and bandwidth-intensive. Traffic growth continues to surge, exposing the structural limitations of traditional wide area networks (WANs), including uncontrollable forwarding paths, limited service visibility, and operational complexity in maintenance and troubleshooting. To address these challenges, SDN and intelligent networking technologies must be introduced to enable unified resource orchestration, optimal resource utilization, automated service provisioning, rapid deployment, real-time service awareness, proactive adaptation, differentiated protection mechanisms, and end-to-end service visibility. The WD16000-F delivers the following capabilities: • Supports SR/SRv6 and EVPN technologies, simplifying network configuration while enabling deterministic, manageable, and fully controllable traffic paths. • Supports sub-interface slicing, FlexE, and other hard isolation technologies, reserving bandwidth resources and ensuring high reliability and strict SLA guarantees for high-priority services. • Supports In-band telemetry and Telemetry-based deep flow detection, enabling real-time network health monitoring and transforming reactive maintenance into predictive, proactive operations. • Supports NETCONF and YANG, providing standardized configuration APIs to enable full automation of network provisioning and accelerate device and service deployment. • Supports Policy-based traffic steering functionality, intelligently selecting tunnel paths based on service priority to achieve differentiated forwarding and optimized traffic engineering. • Supports EVPN/VXLAN, enabling remote MAC and routing information learning to implement scalable Layer 2 and Layer 3 VPN services over VXLAN architectures. When integrated with the SD-WAN controller, the WD16000-F enables comprehensive network management, control, and analytical visibility. In conjunction with SDN components, it supports centralized orchestration across single- domain, multi-domain, and cross-layer environments, delivering unified policy enforcement and end-to-end business automation across the wide area network.

Powerful BNG functions

Traditional SR routers carry telecom services such as Mobile, Business, and IPTV, and BNG serves as the access gateway for broadband network applications, performing user authentication and management. The WD16000-F combines SR and BNG functions, improving the efficiency of user network device utilization and saving user investment. It provides the following benefits: • Supports Application-aware accounting (AAA), which distinguishes business types by destination address, realizing billing, bandwidth control, and QoS for different types of user businesses, providing users with differentiated business operation solutions • Supports unified wired and wireless authentication, simplifying user management costs. It meets the needs of massive user terminal access through high-capacity BNG, while also meeting the mobility and seamless authentication needs of wireless terminals. • Supports BNG VSS hot backup, avoiding single point of failures while simplifying operations, maintenance, and management.

Mobile carrier network IP RAN

Traditional mobile operator base station backhaul networks are built on TDM/SDH. However, with the deployment and development of 3G and LTE services, data services have become the main carrier, and the demand for bandwidth is rapidly increasing. The traditional SDH TDM exclusive channel network expansion model is difficult to support, and the construction of a packetized backhaul network is an irreversible trend. IP RAN has become the mainstream solution in the mobile backhaul network field. The WD16000-F provides powerful functionality for IP RAN: • Supports various link detection and protection technologies, including: IP FRR, LDP FRR, Bypass PW, BFD For PW, and Y.1731. • Supports the 1588V2 clock synchronization protocol, achieving more accurate frequency synchronization and time synchronization. • Supports Ethernet clock synchronization, with clock recovery quality reaching 0.01 ppm
