Latif Ladid, President of the IPv6 Forum, believes that the integration of AI into network infrastructure like AI WAN is a necessity for the future. To accelerate the deployment of SRv6, the IPv6 Forum launched the SRv6 Ready Logo Program, with Huawei being one of the first device vendors to pass the certification.

Santiago Costanzo, Transport Evolution Manager of Telecom Argentina, shared the deployment and innovative practices of key technologies for IP networks in the AI era. He noted that SRv6 helps carriers improve E2E automation efficiency and achieve deterministic latency. In the AI era, Telecom is using AI technologies to simplify O&M and improve efficiency, creating value for customers.

Durmus Mehmet, Turkcell's IP/MPLS Core and Data Center Networks Associate Director, revealed that Turkcell is building an ultra-broadband and highly reliable autonomous network to provide differentiated services for customers. He emphasized that Turkcell recognized the evolution direction of AI WAN and will work with Huawei to conduct joint innovation centered on energy saving, FHC-based fiber monitoring, AI application identification, and AI agents.

Xu Huan, Vice President of Huawei's Router Domain within the Data Communication Product Line, provided expert insights into the AI WAN solution. He explained that this innovative solution features a three-layer architecture consisting of AI routers, AI new connections, and AI new brain. The solution helps carriers build networks with optimal TCO, expand new services, improve operations efficiency, and drive new service growth. Wu Qin, Huawei's data communication network architect and IETF Internet Architecture Board (IAB) Member, stated that the AI new brain consists of AssurSpirit, ChangeSpirit, and OptimSpirit. Through large-small model collaboration, the three AI agents enable intelligent operations and accelerate the evolution to Autonomous Networks (AN) L4. Zied Ben Houidi, Chief LLM Expert of Huawei's Data Communication Product Line, also shared the application of AI on IP networks.

Carsten Rossenhövel, CTO and Co-Founder of the European Advanced Networking Test Center (EANTC) — an authoritative third-party test organization in Europe — shared the progress of multi-vendor interoperability test in 2025. This indicates that the key capabilities of IP networks in the AI era have reached a higher level of maturity in terms of interoperability.

At the end of the IP GALA, the IPv6 Forum, WBBA, Turkcell Türkiye, Telecom Argentina, EANTC, and Huawei jointly launched the AI WAN Initiative to promote the evolution of IP network innovation and deployment.

Looking ahead, Huawei will continue to work with carriers and industry partners to explore new markets in the intelligent era, help customers achieve business success, and accelerate new service growth.
