Abstract

Historically, Telecom Networks were a Mixture of TDM/Circuit Switched and Packet/Datagram based and used techniques such as TDMoIP and IPoTDM for internetwork communication. Voice and Data Networks were separate. NGN was envisioned as a pathway towards a converged ALL-IP network capable to cater to Voice, Video and Data services. Around 2005, newer services such as SAN's, NAS's, CDN's, WSNs, Location Aware Services, BYOD, Data Centers, Cloud-Based Services, Big Data, XaaS, Internet of Things, Over-the-Top Content etc. were developed that required a more Flexible and Scalable network infrastructure. These services are Application Focused and require the network to be more Service-Centric than Infrastructure- Centric. This gave rise to the Concept of Software Defined Networks (SDNs) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV). However, these concepts saw strong opposition from Telecom Equipment Manufacturers and it was not until late 2010 that Telecom OEMs started adopting SDN and NFV. This research tries to develop a Simple and Modular Router/Protocol that implements Telecom Functions as opposed to the more
