Software Defined Networking (SDN) Trends:

Where are Operators Focusing in 2013-2015?

Current Activity: Operators Highly focused on Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and

Opportunity to Reduce Hardware Costs

European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has just

published the first five specifications on Network Functions Virtualisation

(NFV)

Most SDN Activity in Standard IT Functionsi.e. OSS/BSS and Data

Center

OpenDaylight Project announced First Release of Hydrogen Code, Sept

13, 2013

Status and Upcoming Activity: Trials of other SDN Functionality in 2013 & 2014

Beginning to Leverage SDN Control Plane capabilities in Access, Backhaul

and Core

Timeline for Functionality

Status of Operator Activity:

2013 Trials and Early Deployment:

AT&T - NFV and SDN: Hardware Software Process

BT - Virtualization & Small Cells

DT - TeraStream Cloud for OSS.(Hrvatski Telekom Croatia) Optus - Virtualizing the Packet Core (Connectem)

Telefonica CPE Virtualization, IMS Virtualization in Data

Center

Telstra - Time to Market, Service Chaining (Ericsson)

Operators are focused on Network

Function Virtualization (NFV), Must SDN wait?

NFV First?.....SDN Second?

Now Operators are beginning to Realize NFV & SDN are

Complementary not Competitive.

NFV will decouple the network functions from specific hardware

..but

SDN Control Plane and Signaling brings:

Near Real Time Control of Traffic Steering and Management

Dynamic use of Virtualized Resourcesboth Platforms &

Connectivity

Also need: Elasticity ,Automation/Orchestration,

Resiliency & Performance!

10/16

Coming soon SDN for:Value Added Services /Network as a Service (NaaS)


Shouldnt SDN do more for the Services/Data Plane?

.And Operator Revenues?

Shift to Service Exposure & Network APIs for: Faster Time to Market

Lower TCO

Personalization and Differentiated Services

Need Upper Layer Service Orchestration for Network as a

Service (NaaS) End-to-End Service Control & Performance w.

SDN: Traffic optimization as a service

Contextual rating as a service

Content Promotion as a service

Identity Management
