ECI-The Case for Carrier Cooperation and LSO-MEF London-May 2016
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes597 views
This document discusses the need for carrier cooperation and LSO (Lifecycle Service Orchestration) to enable fast provisioning of services from minutes to months. It outlines how global connectivity used to be provisioned in minutes through carrier cooperation but deregulation and new technologies led to fragmented networks. The alternative proposed is defining network slice services and using LSO to automate cross-carrier provisioning through standard APIs. This would allow services like a 2GB L3VPN to be provisioned within minutes across multiple carriers instead of months.
ECI-The Case for Carrier Cooperation and LSO-MEF London-May 2016
- 1. ECI Proprietary MONTHS TO MINUTES: THE CASE FOR CARRIER COOPERATION AND LSO Hayim Porat, CTO
- 2. ECI Proprietary 2 MISSION IMPOSSIBLE? Customer Wants: ● L3VPN with specific E2E speed, QoS, and security ● E.g. 2GB symmetrical guaranteed BW ● Ten minutes from order time to turn-up ● For a two hour design review ● Doesn’t want to pay very much CGI design studio in Sapporo Manufacturer in Manchester
- 3. ECI Proprietary SO WHY MONTHS AND NOT MINUTES? 3
- 7. ECI Proprietary THE MINIONS? 7 Copyrights: Universal Studios
- 8. ECI Proprietary BUT TO SEE HOW WE ARRIVED AT THE CURRENT SITUATION WE FIRST NEED TO GO BACK IN TIME 8
- 9. ECI Proprietary 9 CIRCA 1966 • Single service: Voice • Global automated connectivity in minutes • Based on carrier cooperation
- 10. ECI Proprietary THEN AGENTS OF CHANGE HAPPENED Computer communications (data) Deregulation Terminal equipment Breakup of PTT monopolies Multiplay services The Internet Technology VLSI Fiber optics Radio 10
- 11. ECI Proprietary 11 WHICH CREATED AMONG OTHER THINGS … Multiple overlapping global networks to serve multi-national enterprises
- 12. ECI Proprietary 12 SITUATION UNTIL RECENTLY No unified service definitions Each provider adopted his own definitions of services Created international walled gardens and made huge profits for OSS/BSS providers High speed service take ages to fulfil Eons if crosses several providers As long as there was money rolling in, nobody cared
- 13. ECI Proprietary AND THEN EVEN MORE CHANGE HAPPENED High Speed Internet Cloud Service Providers 13
- 14. ECI Proprietary RESULTING IN … Global service providers competing with themselves: International “closed garden” networks versus “Good enough” Internet-based solutions 14
- 15. ECI Proprietary 15 THE ALTERNATIVE Customer Wants: ● L3VPN with specific E2E speed, QoS, and security ● 2GB Service ● Ten minutes from order time to turn-up ● For a two hour design review ● Doesn’t want to pay very much CGI design studio in Sapporo Manufacturer in Manchester
- 16. ECI Proprietary YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT 16 Economics dictates that customers will figure out a way to make an inexpensive, “good enough” service work
- 17. ECI Proprietary BUT WHAT IF THERE WAS ANOTHER WAY? 17 Full Speed/QoS/Security expectations Value-added private network services WITH: Fast turn-up limited time services Price competitive with an Internet solution
- 18. ECI Proprietary IT’S THE INTEROPERABILITY STUPID SDN and NFV moved the industry forward in terms of creating unification and vendor agnostic networking However the elephant in the room is the lack of carrier agnostic services For carriers to provide a dynamic network they need unified automated carrier-to- carrier connectivity 18
- 19. ECI Proprietary WHAT IS REQUIRED 19 Mindset change: Service Provider cooperating instead of self-cannibalizing Technically: Network slice service definitions LSO for fast E2E network slice implementations
- 20. ECI Proprietary 20 L3VPN NETWORK SLICE EXAMPLE CE PE PE P P CE PE PE P P PE PE P P Need to define and coordinate: ● VRF sync ● PLS Labels sync ● Resource allocation ● Service context (FW, encryption etc.) ● Signaling, information exchange and automation PE PE P P
