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. Activities work with and coordinate with Open Broadband (OB) program regarding open source e.g. Open Broadband-Broadband Access Abstraction (OB-BAA) and testing Open Broadband Laboratories (OBLs).
