TRANSCRIPT
Orchestrating Connectivity Services
over SDN and Legacy Networks
OPEN-O Mini Summit
Michael Kearns – Huawei, VP Fixed Network OSS

Why SDN Orchestration (SDN-O) ?
• To be E2E service orchestration must include connectivity to customer sites
• Network connectivity must match the speed of Cloud
• Current OSS is not agile enough
• Most carrier networks are hybrid networks of legacy, SDN, and virtual
• Controller role is network resource abstraction and path calculation
• SDN-O role is connectivity service abstraction and orchestrationLegacy

Problem with current OSS
Designed for static network service offerings
Hardwired support for each service offering
Big project to introduce new service offering
Many disparate software applications
Complex, costly integration
Limited ability to automate
Not architected for Connectivity Service Agility

What is SDN-O?
NFVSDN
Extracts & standardizes connectivity service design & life-cycle automation into a real-time SDN Orchestrator

KEY SDN-O Requirements • Full service life-cycle automation (Design, Provision & Operate) for multi-technology, multi-layer, multi-vendor
connectivity services via a unified real-time orchestration platform
• Support SDN & Legacy Networks and the evolution path
• Common Standard NBI(s) and SBI(s) for rapid integration with OSS and Network
• Common Inventory for accurate inventory of network connectivity services & resources and mapping between them
• Design Time / Run-Time Programmability, introduce new connectivity service offerings & technologies without the need for new orchestrator releases
• Carrier grade scale, performance & reliability, cloud scaling, fault tolerant and self-healing
Open Source prevents lock-in, builds momentum, encourages sharing & reduces risk

SDN-O R1 Scope
R1 Scope: Network Integration & Provisioning • Simple SDN-O GUI
• Lifecycle Management
• NBI (REST) / SBI (REST / RESTCONF / YANG)
• VLAN/VxLAN/L3VPN/IPSec (stretch L2VPN)
• Basic Resource Management (BRS)
• Drivers using Driver Manager
• Monitor and Optimize (stretch goal)
• Basic Service Inventory (stretch goal)

SDN-O Related Standards & Open Source
Key benefits of Standards & Open Source alignment:• Very important for openness and industry adoption • Faster Time To Market with greatly reduced integration • Sustainable product differentiation (when applied correctly)

Conclusion
Network Connectivity must match the speed of Cloud
Current OSS is not agile enough to deliver that speed
Most carrier networks are a hybrid of legacy, SDN, and virtual networks
SDN-O delivers standardized real-time service design & life-cycle automation to OSS
Standards & Open Source support is very important for industry adoption
