Mission:

Develop the architecture and nodal requirements for end-to-end broadband deployments, across traditional and converged networks (fixed line & mobile), to enable, ensure, and measure the best possible quality of experience for network users. 

Scope:

• Develop and maintain the primary, end-to-end architectures for the work of Broadband Forum.
• Specify nodal, protocol, and management requirements for transport and routing networking components within the Broadband Forum architectures.
• Create frameworks and specifications to enable the separation of control plane and user plane functions within Broadband Forum architectural components.
• Create frameworks and specifications to enable convergence of the wireline accesses into the 5G core and beyond.
• Develop and maintain measurement and monitoring approaches for maintaining high quality end-to-end broadband user experience (QoE).
