Work Area Overview

Note: The Architecture and Migration Work Area was merged with the Routing and Transport Work Area in January 2019 forming the Access and Transport Architecture Work Area. See announcement from the 2018 Q4 meeting report in Glasgow, UK.




Mission Statement:

Excerpt

The Architecture and Migration Work Area defines the architecture of Broadband Forum's work. This identifies and documents 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.

Work Area Directors: David Thorne, BTSinicrope (acting)

Business Impact:

The work creates the necessary foundation for all of the work of the Broadband Forum. It underpins all the new value-added services and application delivery for fixed and mobile access networks, 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 hybrid broadband network mitigating the risks to existing revenue and enabling market-paced migration.

Scope:

The Architecture and Migration working area maintains the primary architectural models for the work of the Broadband Forum. The models reflect the control, management and data plane aspects of BBF defined architectures. The models are augmented to subsume new industry directions such as SDN and NFV while carrying forward key aspects of broadband as currently deployed. The products of the work area provide the BBF with a collective and consistent language and algebra to help drive overall consistency of product.

    SD 397Broadband Platform Environment Source Document

    This document identifies the principles fundamental to retaining product velocity, and agility used by Cloud and application based solutions that are being transferred to Broadband platforms and services, and telecom in general via NFV.  

    Cloud focuses automating based on customer actions, vs. automating what operations would normally do.  This drives a change in the fundamental way we abstract based on how the customer consumes resources, vs. how the legacy organization consumed them.

    Application-Layer Test Traffic Architecture and Requirements

    This Working Text defines an architecture and requirements for the specification of test traffic generated at the application layer. It supports specification of test traffic that exhibits the complexity resulting from multiple types of applications and subscribers aggregated in a common network and competing for resources, The WT also enables test traffic to be specified using consistent, unambiguous parameters that support repeatable test results under complex scenarios across different test labs, service providers, and vendors.

    Application-Layer Testing Implementer's Guide

    This Working Text provides guidance for the use of application-layer traffic in test scenarios. The relative advantages of generating test traffic at different layers for different purposes are addressed. The WT discusses the issues associated with creating load profiles, as well as the test and analysis methodologies most appropriate for use with application-layer traffic.

    Broadband Assured IP Services Architecture

    This architectural document defines the ultimate scope of the project to set up the phased implementation of BAS services and their attributes. This encompasses the service frames and end-points, preservation of service attributes across single and multi-domain networks, hybrid wireless and wireline service connection points, service level protection recommendations for various service reliability levels.

    Broadband Assured IP Services Technical Specification

    This is the BAS Technical Specification covering both the definition of Broadband Forum BAS services and the definition of the attributes of the services. The emphasis will be on the definition of a useful simple service and will aim to meet the requirements of a small number of simple use cases and that can readily be implemented via a set of Broadband Forum data models
