**Meet the Team**

The DSE Platform Independent Common (PI-Common) group develops high-performance, platform-independent system software that runs across Cisco’s flagship routers and switches. We design and deliver core routing protocols and infrastructure components that power Cisco’s Mass Scale Infrastructure, Cloud Networking, and Network Experience portfolios.

Our team owns the architecture, implementation, and lifecycle of key control-plane technologies including IGP routing protocols (OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, RIP), BGP-LS, First Hop Redundancy Protocols (HSRP/VRRP/GLBP), and routing infrastructure components such as route-policy frameworks, prefix handling, filtering, and control-plane scalability mechanisms.

These components form the foundation of networking deployments across enterprise, service provider, cloud, and AI infrastructure environments — where scale, resiliency, security, programmability, and operational debuggability are critical.
