Transport SDN – Clearing the Roadblocks to Wide-scale Commercial Deployment

OFC 2015

Expo Theater II

March 25, 2:00-3:00PM

Abstract

Recent proof-of-concept and prototype technology demonstrations

have shown progress in the evolution to commercial SDN

deployment. Service providers, network element providers and

software vendors are collaborating in standards bodies, industry fora

and laboratories to identify and address technical and business

challenges standing in the way of even early market adoption.

In this session, OIF panelists will review findings from its Global

Transport SDN Prototype Demo and outline steps aimed at clearing

the roadblocks to wide-scale transport SDN deployment. Panelists

will address operational aspects, APIs, and the development of

virtual transport network services.
