Abstract

Management and Network Orchestration (MANO) systems permit simultaneous orchestration of compute and network resources. Here, we experimentally demonstrate the integration of Transport API based WIM with Open Source MANO (OSM), for NFV orchestration over optical networks.

Highlights

  • There has been recent shift in telecommunications industry towards technologies like Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN)

  • The hardware network equipment is being replaced by Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), which can run in remote datacenters as well as the edge computing nodes

  • We propose and implement an architecture to integrate Transport API (T-API) with the leading ETSI NFV Management and Network Orchestration (MANO) system i.e. Open Source MANO (OSM) [8] for the first time, which allows orchestration of VNFs across data-centers over the underlying optical networks

Summary

Introduction

There has been recent shift in telecommunications industry towards technologies like Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN). The distribution of VNFs across remote and edge-computing nodes for realizing these use-cases has made it necessary to create an end-to-end network and resource control. ETSI NFV MANO standards include the Wide-Area Networking (WAN) Infrastructure Manager (WIM) which allows to orchestrate network services over multiple data-centers in a WAN.
