Proposed Topic/Title Enterprise CORD
Description Enterprise CORD (E-CORD) is a first of its kind initiative to offer enterprise connectivity services over metro and wide area networks, using only open source software and commodity hardware.
...
In turn, enterprise customers can use E-CORD to rapidly create ondemand on-demand networks between any number of endpoints or company branches. These networks are dynamically configurable, implying connection attributes and SLAs can be specified and provisioned on the fly. Furthermore, enterprise customers may choose to run network functions such as firewalls, WAN accelerators, traffic analytic tools, virtual routers, etc. as ondemand services that are provisioned and maintained inside the service provider network.
...
What key business or technical challenge is addressed by this solution? The technical challenges are threefold. First, software defined control of a converged packet/optical wide area network requires innovative multi-layer and delegated control primitives. Second, carrier grade connectivity services have elaborate service model specifications, and deploying these on white box infrastructure introduces hardware support issues. Third, control and configuration of a disaggregated ROADM platform needs careful design of abstract interfaces. Finally, an open challenge is maintaining high performance levels for transmission and signal integrity in the optical white box model.
