Service providers need Analytics and Intelligence, Software Control and Automation, and Programmable Infrastructure to manage the transition to the Adaptive Network. A common requirement will be the use of open interfaces to express capabilities, state intent and allow access to data in a multi-domain, multi-vendor environment. The ONF, in coordination with other industry bodies, is playing a key role in developing an infrastructure for the definition of model-driven, machine-oriented open APIs for SDN control of service provider networks. As part of its Adaptive Network vision, Ciena leads industry efforts to create open APIs using automated specification and code generation and avoiding the need for manual protocol definition. This talk will describe ONF common information modeling, associated tooling and work on the Transport API, considering both current capability and future directions.
This session begins with short presentation by each of the speakers on experiences, gaps, and challenges working within this ecosystem, followed by an open discussion focusing on practical information exchange among contributors and users of projects and technologies across this ecosystem. This session is meant to foster a larger and ongoing discussion aimed at improving collaboration among different open source communities and standards organizations.
Today’s cloud is not built to support the demands of tomorrow’s network infrastructure, where the edge of the network is lined with up to 1 trillion intelligent devices by 2035, many requiring very low latency and efficient acceleration. A massive transformation in network infrastructure is underway and the Arm ecosystem will play a prominent role in the realization of this vision, bringing unique and compelling solutions based on lower TCO, efficiencies in compute density, performance/watt, greater scalability, and security in the face of challenging industry goals for virtualization and 5G metrics. Join us for a comprehensive and insightful view into the approach taken by the Arm ecosystem to deliver efficient, heterogeneous, scale-out architecture for next-generation infrastructure support AI/AR/ML use cases and more. Attendees will walk away with an appreciation for the fundamental Arm value proposition, our contribution and initiatives within the Linux Foundation Open Networking community, proof points and progress to date in enabling this vision.
RAN Virtualization and Mobile Edge Compute are two of the many capabilities 5G purports to provide. However, both these capabilities rely on virtualization of the infrastructure. To address VRAN and MEC requirements how will the virtualization models need to evolve? Will OpenStack, today's IaaS platform be able to address all the requirements of MEC and VRAN?
This presentation will explore answers to some of these questions and propose some infrastructure virtualization models for deployment of MEC and VRAN for 5G. It will discuss the architecture of VRAN and 5G deployment and then look at the deployment of Virtual Machines and Containers to host services for MEC and VRAN
In this Cloud-centric, 5G and IoT era, operators are facing challenges of current network and transformation towards the Cloud-centric network. The Cloud CO architecture is the cornerstone of NG broadband network to enable network & service decoupling, SDN, NFV and cloud technologies in order to address multi-access, multi-tenant and fast service innovation, with various of flexible network modes. We present Huawei’s understandings, experiences, and learnings from the executive projects in the scenarios of access, metro network, overlay VPN and NFVI. The details of network abstraction, slicing and centralized control, VNF/VNFC diversity and use cases, overlay networking and I/O technologies in NFVI, domain orchestration and enhanced assurance based on data analysis will be discussed. Open ecosystem and Huawei vision will be shared.
In this keynote, Ericsson and Verizon together address how 5G enables innovation and creates new business opportunities across all industries. The talk will give an overview of how various technologies will help to shape 5G evolution and how open source is playing a key role in creating and enabling these technologies. The talk will also explore some use cases Verizon sees as key for their 5G networks, and how opensource & vendors playing a vital role together in the network evolution towards 5G.
Many large enterprises have chosen to integrate public cloud providers while still maintaining their private cloud infrastructure; the hybrid cloud. Some see the hybrid approach as "the best of both worlds", while others use hybrid as an intermediate step to the public cloud. However, going hybrid comes with its own set of complications. In this Keynote, Francis Arigo will use music to share Ticketmaster's journey that led to them choosing the hybrid cloud strategy and the some of the real-world challenges that decision brings.
From the perspective of Openswitch (OPX), discussing how having composable open networking software provides capabilities, agility, and supportability.
This presentation outlines the growing importance of open source to the telecommunication industry and shows the transition of a telecom vendor to the world of open source. It will show the path through the stages of open source and analyze what is needed to for open source to be successful in this space. We also look at the openness in a wider sense and explain how for example open source, commercial software, standardization and partner ecosystems complement each other.
