Project Deliverable and Document Numbering Note
Most projects use deliverable (e.g., tutorial slide deck) and document numbers assigned independent of inter-relation or project association. (e.g., TR-421, MR-433, MR-238, TR-224, TR-350, MR-367)
However, some deliverables or documents are numbered in a series associating them together as related or part of the same project using a suffix notation (e.g., TR-452.1, TR-452.2, TR-452.3, etc;. MR-452.1, MR-452.2, MR-452.3, etc.; TR-319 Base, TR-319 Part A, TR-319 Part B, etc.) The suffix, when used, is treated as an integral part of the document number for purposes of revision (e.g., TR.459.2 Issue 2), amendment (e.g. WT-390.2 Amendment 1), or correction (e.g., MD-521.2 Corrigendum 1). Note that the first deliverable in a series may or may not use the .1 suffix. (e.g., TR-459, TR-459.2, TR-459.3 vs. TR-452.1, TR-452.2, TR-452.3, etc., MR-521.1, MR-521.2, etc.).
Questions on ATA document numbering should be directed to the Work Area Directors.

Project Stream Page: Access Architecture (AA) Project Stream Project Stream Leads: Jonathan Newton, Vodafone Mission: The project stream mission is to advance access broadband network architecture in traditional and new areas to ensure quality connectivity leading to quality user experience. Identify and document the key functionalities and relationships between entities to facilitate the transition of networks to encompass new practices such as virtualization while documenting the key functionalities that need to be brought forward to enable a seamless evolution path.A critical element of the work is the long term support of existing and new physical and statically management network elements alongside agile and virtualized functions in what effectively will be a stable hybrid network. This enables seamless migration based on market acceptance on new technologies, protection of existing infrastructure investment and normal spread of deployment in different territories.The project stream will focus on:
Business Impact: The work creates the necessary foundation for all of the broadband network. It underpins new value-added services and application delivery for fixed access networks, for home and business that can now be deployed at the pace of each market. Co-existence of physical and virtualized solutions and from static and dynamic services will create a broadband network mitigating the risks to existing revenue and enabling market-paced migration. Drive evolution of the network to improve scale, resiliency, reliability and security. Scope: Specifically the project stream covers the following areas:

Leads: Fabio Giudici Mission: The project stream mission is to advance testing in traditional and new areas to ensure quality connectivity leading to quality user experience. The project stream will focus mainly in two areas:
Both are needed to provide insight into quality of experience and application outcomes such that the network, while essential, becomes an invisible part of the customer experience. Business Impact: Provide the information needed to analyze a network’s detailed performance allowing service providers to offer not only higher capacity connectivity services, but also higher quality connectivity services. This in turn enables and accelerates industry adoption and deployment of new services and infrastructure. Scope: Specifically the project stream covers the following areas of connectivity quality testing:

Work Area Overview
Mission Statement:
Multiexcerpt | ||
---|---|---|
| ||
The Access and Transport Architecture (ATA) Work Area (WA) defines and specifies the architecture and equipment requirements for access , routing and transport network infrastructure. ATA ATA produces industry-agreed specifications for applications such as mobile transport infrastructure (fronthaul and backhaul), data center interconnect, residential broadband Internet access , etc. as as well as specifications for managing, testing, and maintaining these networks and there application. (E.g., Performance monitoring and testing, Application Level Testing and testing quality of experience.). This work is typically in their applications. This work typically takes the form of architecture, equipment requirements, test guidance, & implementation guidance, and education materials. Work Area DirectorsDirector:

Business Impact:
A critical element of the work is the long term support of existing network elements alongside virtualized software based network functions, resulting in a stable network that may be evolved over time. . This enables seamless migration of new networking technologies based on their market acceptance, at the same time protecting existing infrastructure investment, and deployment into new different territories. ATA specifications underpin specifications underpin the network infrastructure, value-added services and application delivery for fixed and mobile access networks, and allows allow deployment at the pace of each relevant market. Co-existence of physical and virtualized solutions and from for static and dynamic services will create a broadband network infrastructure mitigating the risks to existing revenue and enabling leveraging at the same time it leverages new networking technology for according to market demand.
Scope:
ATA maintains the primary architectures for the work of Broadband Forum. The architectures, requirements and other deliverables reflect deliverables reflect the control, management, and data plane aspects of the access, transport and routed networks used to provide operator, enterprise and enterprise and “over-the-top” Internet based connectivity services. The deliverables The deliverables of the work area are area are designed to leverage and integrate new industry technologies while protecting investment of current deployments. These deliverables provide These deliverables provide the industry with a collective and consistent methodology to drive product development and service deploymentand service deployment.
