Open Networking Summit North America 2018

This session will introduce work and experience in the national NFV experiment network in China Mobile. This network covers 4 provinces in China, including 6 DC sites, and cover more than 20 vendors, including hardware vendors, virtualized infrustructure vendors, VNF vendors and MANO vendors. SDN is used to manage the network within and between different DC.Services including vBRAS, vCPE, vEPC are tested. We construct this network to fully explose the problems and interfaces we will face when we construct a 3 layer decoupled NFV network. In this session, we would like to share how we manage such network, experience we learned from the integration and interoperability testing, and what are further needed to consider for future deployment of NFV network.
