Miercom, an independent third-party testing and certification company, verified Cisco 1100 ISRs, part of the ISR 1000 Series, with equivalent HPE and Huawei routers for various test scenarios.

In June, Cisco announced the network intuitive vision and the ground-breaking steps we are taking to transform the network to an intent-based system based on the Cisco Digital Network Architecture.
