The convergence of Network Switches and SDN represents a powerful combination that harnesses the strengths of both hardware and software. With service revenues flattening from price compression, Communication Service Providers (CSPs) are faced with a difficult balancing act. They need to design and build a network that supports in demand, Service Level Agreement (SLA)-based service offerings while still maintaining network support. A converged network combines wired, wireless, and IoT technologies to provide universal connectivity across various applications, devices, and locations. This article explores what a network convergence is, what it transmits, its key features, advantages, potential risks, and how FS wireless access points empower. Is it possible to forward EtherCAT frames & standard Ethernet frames simultaneously in a converged forwarding device? networks via different industrial frame forwarding devices.
