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 Sinicrope (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.

Support of Multicast-ABR in Broadband Forum networks

This WT will document phase 1 of the Support of Multicast-ABR on Broadband Forum networks work. This would support OTT services delivered by the service provider. This WT will document the architecture, nodal requirements and interfaces and will address issues such as QoS and management models...

Broadband 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.

WT-421	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.

WT-422	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.	Click Here

RELATED TO WTEDITOR(S) WT-345Broadband Network Gateway and Network Function VirtualizationBuilding on TR-101 and TR-178, WT-345 documents a set of architectures for broadband multi-service network, addressing infrastructures, topologies and deployment scenarios for Multi-Service Broadband Network Gateway (MS-BNG) with hierarchical instances realized as Virtualized Network Functions (VNF). Starting from such architectural models WT-345 defines the specific requirements necessary to support the addressed infrastructures, topologies and deployment scenarios, in order to fulfill the business requirements defined in TR-144. The main changes introduced in the WT-345 architectures compared to the TR-101 and TR-178 models are:

- Implications of scale out
- OAM and other Operational aspects
- Traffic management and QoS

WT-387	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.

The main focus of WT-390 is on-demand performance measurement, but the same tests can be used for proactive testing, including continuous monitoring. Service providers may decide to use one, the other or both modes, depending on their business objectives and dimensioning criteria.Architectural Modelling Project Stream - Work, Agenda and Minutes Click Here Guiu Fabregas, Nokia

Furthermore, this Study Document provides an impact analysis of 4K TV rollout for Carrier/Operator services and Over The Top (OTT) in the several study areas.Architectural Modelling Project Stream - Work, Agenda and Minutes Click Here Georgios Karagiannis, Huawei TechnologiesPS ArchitectureSD-365Definition of an SDN Reference Model

The purpose of this is to augment the WT-359 architectural model with SDN interfaces to address a number of identified use cases. The SD will progress in parallel with WT-359 as to not delay WT-359 completion, and if successful will be incorporated into either the current WT-359 or a "bis" version, at which point the title of 359 would appropriately modified.

PS Architecture SD-392 MSBN Management Framework

This Study Document aims to document the management framework of some relevant MSBN architectures already specified by the BBF. Only 2-3 architectures are documented here because this work aims more to be a starting point based on some legacy architectures and then to be further evolved towards hybrid architectures that encompass also SDN and NFV management and control.
