Mission Statement:

This Work Area focuses on the introduction of Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), including migration and coexistence of physical and virtual elements, into the broadband network.

Business Impact:

The migration to SDN and NFV in the broadband network facilitates agile deployment of new customized distributed broadband services and applications. This enables new revenues and provider differentiation while managing OpEx both in the access network and in single and multi-tenant residential and business locations.

Scope:

The scope includes migration to and deployment of SDN- and NFV-enabled implementations across all aspects of the broadband network. The architecture is based on the initial definition of and extensions to the framework for virtualization in the broadband network.

WT#TITLEABSTRACT
Project Stream: Cloud CO
Project Stream Leader: Vacant
WT-384Framework of Cloud in Central OfficeDevelop a framework for cloud infrastructure in the Central Office (CO). It will describe a Cloud platform for CO and define what virtualize network functions are necessary to run in the CO optimized to support Broadband 20/20 network functions of the MSBN as well as necessary interfaces.
Project Stream: FANS
Project Stream Leader: Bruno Cornaglia, Vodafone
WT-370FANS Overall Architecture and RequirementsFANS Overall Architecture and Requirements investigates on the technical aspects associated with Fixed Access Network Sharing (FANS), which covers the Access Network and part of the Customer Network in case of PON architecture, addressing the typical infrastructures, topologies and deployment scenarios. It also provides security considerations necessary to support multi-operator access sharing. This project outlines technical aspects related to the migration of TR-101 and TR-178 based architectures toward a shared converged broadband access network architecture that supports the business drivers defined in SD-351. Besides multi-operator sharing scenarios, this project can be also appropriate for a network operator that wants to slice its access network to offer different services toward customers (e.g., for residential or enterprise markets) and wants to be able to manage it using a vertical organization structure. Furthermore, FANS Overall Architecture and Requirements is the ongoing pilot project for the upcoming activities related to Access Network Sharing interface(s) and SDN-Enabled FANS.
Project Stream: NFV for MSBN
Project Stream Leader: Vacant
WT-328Virtual Business GatewayThis Working Text specifies architecture and requirements for the virtual business gateway. The virtual business gateway architecture describes the migration of functionalities running on a business gateway to the network service provider's infrastructure for enabling network-based features and services. Such migration is expected to simplify the deployment and management of the network and business services.
The purpose of this Working Text is to specify the virtual business gateway architecture as well as deployment scenarios. Such architecture would target different business premises sizes, e.g., small and medium enterprises (SMEs), campus, as well as single office and home offices (SOHO).

WT-358Support for SDN in Access Network NodesWT-358 "Requirements for Support of SDN in Access Nodes" has two goals. The first goal is to define the requirements necessary to support SDN-based implementations for Access Nodes including FTTdp. This work is based on use cases identified in SD-313 and existing TRs such as TR-101 and TR-178 developed within BBF. A second goal is to identify gaps in current SDN protocols relative to the requirements identified and to communicate those gaps to the appropriate development organizations.
