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:

However the above mentioned data models are not sufficient for configuring and managing a BNG/vBNG, in particular among the others data models for the subscriber management are missed as it is indeed one of functionalities of a BNG actually. Motivation: This project has been created in order to close a gap we currently have with respect to Access Node where projects on YANG data Models already exist since years, while none has been created for BNG/vBNG. Scope: The scope of this project is to define and develop the set of YANG data modules needed for configuration and monitoring (FCAPS) of BNGs/vBNGs as follows:
This project can be managed as other projects in Common YANG PS (for example TR-383), that is it can be an ongoing project. When one or more YANG modules are ready for publication they will go through SB and FB in the same way as any other WT and it will be published, and then work on the next Amendment will immediately begin. The new BBF’s YANG DMs and those published by IETF for BNG/vBNG are expected to be cross referenced in future TR-413 Issue 2. Multiexcerpt |

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, broadband Internet access , etc. as as well as specifications for managing, testing, and maintaining these networks and their applications. This work typically takes the form of architecture, equipment requirements, test & 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 allow deployment at the pace of each relevant market. Co-existence of physical and virtualized solutions for static and dynamic services create a network infrastructure mitigating the risks to existing revenue at the same time it leverages new networking technology according to market demand.
Scope:
ATA maintains the primary architectures for the work of Broadband Forum. The architectures, requirements and other deliverables reflect the control, management, and data plane aspects of the access, transport and routed networks used to provide operator, enterprise and “over-the-top” Internet based connectivity services. The deliverables of the work area are designed to leverage and integrate new industry technologies while protecting investment of current deployments. These deliverables provide the industry with a collective and consistent methodology to drive product development and service deployment.
