To MH: Could you cover or spin something around the MEF LSO Report? Please check notes.
• Launch new offerings
• Enable customers to provision
and manage service
• Multi-vendor interoperability
• Tighter integration of IT
• Centralized management of
multi-vendor platforms

Conclusions: BoD Video Service PoC Demo• Assurance is critical for orchestrated, dynamic services - use virtualized active
testing and monitoring for NFV/SDN service assurance. • On-demand services require unified network and service management across
multi-domain, multi-vendor network.• NIDs supports dynamic, on-demand provisioning and activation, fault
management and recovery, and real-time performance monitoring in the orchestrated environment.
• Network dis-aggregation and abstraction with SDN will be the key drivers for hyper-scale and converged data centers.
