2 Introduction

This document reports the exploitation plans for the ONE adapter. To this end, we analyze the main aspects of the foreground produced by the project, with special emphasis on the innovations beyond the state-‐of-‐the art. In the process, we examine the set of results that have better chances to be exploited by our industrial partners, with special focus on the identified market segments. It is worth recalling that a field trial led by Telefónica was carried out in Germany using ADVA’s transport network equipment and Juniper routers, and that this event reached the international press through different news that were published in the media (e.g., in REUTERS, etc.). Overall, the work developed in the framework of this project has captured the attention of the networking industry, so we foresee that the reach of the innovations produced within ONE will positively impact on the networking community.

Moreover, this document discusses the potential pathway toward exploitation, considering aspects such as the potential impact of our main “products” and “sub-‐products”, and also provides a succinct risk analysis, considering both internal and external risks.

Finally, we provide the individual exploitation plans for each partner.

3 Foreground

In this Section, we first identify the set of innovations and contributions that clearly go beyond the state-‐of-‐the art. These innovations lay down the basis for developing commercial products or sub-‐products directly derived from the ONE adapter concepts. In particular, we discuss the innovations that are susceptible to be exploited, and also outline the targeted market segments.

3.1 Innovations Beyond the State-of-the-art

This project has contributed in many different ways to advance the knowledge and the state-‐of-‐the-‐art in the network management field. These innovations can be summarized as follows:

• ONE has designed, developed, and validated solutions enabling coordinated operations and procedures among IP and transport OSS, EMS, and NMSs requiring neither system integration endeavors nor major changes or adaptations on the existing management infrastructure. In fact, the ONE adapter can perfectly operate in heterogeneous multi-‐layer and multi-‐vendor settings composed of mixes of novel and legacy equipment and management systems and subsystems.

• The utilization of technology-‐agnostic Workflows is key. Based on our design Workflows can be easily defined, composed, and packed for developing quite complex and ambitious orchestrations involving optical and IP gear in carrier-‐grade transport networks. Indeed, the two-‐layer design of the ONE adapter is an achievement per se ⎯ recall that the core modules are kept agnostic of any technology, while the satellite ones are made technology-‐specific to support the required interfaces and protocols for external communications. For instance, ADVA has particularly experienced the strengths of this approach and the flexibility that it offers, which was evident during the process of shifting from the Multi-‐Technology Operations System Interface (MTOSI) to OpenFlow. Observe that the core modules, i.e., the Management Controller, the Ontology Mapper, and the Workflow processing engine remained unaffected by these changes.

• As already identified by this project, the ONE adapter can be deployed under different configurations, and therefore, it can adapt to different market segments and potential actors willing to exploit the strengths offered by the adapter (see Section 3.3).

• The interactions with the Path Computation Element (PCE) are another remarkable aspect of the ONE adapter. We have already demonstrated how the ONE adapter can interoperate and make use of PCEs for computing paths involving a single-‐layer as well as coordinating the


computations across layers. The ONE adapter actually facilitates the process of integrating and using PCEs at different layers.

• The Ontology Mapper (OM) model and its modular design offer a promising direction for enabling semantic adaptations, and a broad set of configurations and operations irrespectively of the vendor. Indeed, the OM can facilitate the development of Plugins for vendors in coordinated management scenarios.

• Last but not least, the integration of OpenFlow opens the door for Software Defined Networking (SDN) in multi-‐layer/multi-‐vendor carrier-‐grade environments. The ONE adapter can play an important role as an SDN orchestrator and coordinator on multi-‐layer and multi-‐vendor settings, and this was immediately spotted by TID.

Based on this list, we proceed now to discuss which of these items have sufficient potential to be commercially exploited.

3.2 Exploitable Results

Presentable results explored within the ONE project are not only bound to the three use cases widely described within various delivered documents, as well as conference workshops and presentations. Main focus remains on the usability and flexibility of the ONE adapter.

These two keywords have accompanied ONE during all presentations, and were proven correct by several reasons encountered during the project lifetime:

• The ease of network technologies change – starting with SNMP/MTOSI set, and finishing with OpenFlow shows the flexibility of network modeling for orchestration purposes.

• Multivendor support shown with ontologies as well as with flexible network technologies adaptations is a great value for the diverse networks.

• Workflow programmability allowing fast reconfiguration of desired behavior and level of control against the network.

• Real extensibility proven by fast accommodation of 3rd party measurement system serving Performance Monitoring (PM) records information for entire range of IP routers based on ONE topology, and data.

Today’s networks management is focused around SDN concepts, turning the entire network to a set of programmable resources, as presented on Figure 1. The ONE adapter concepts can be mapped to functionalities combining parts of the SDN Controller Platform, Applications and network services. It can be easily extended with the user desired functionalities, and as such become the main integration and operations tool for network providers.

3.3 Targeted Market Segments

ONE adapter is a solution for transport networks. Currently, the IP/MPLS core network provides layer-‐3 connectivity among IP access centers. These access centers interconnect end users, service centers, datacenters, and the Internet. The IP/MPLS routers typically use high-‐speed optical links (or circuits) that are provided by the transport network. The latter is in charge of transporting high capacity traffic and providing point-‐to-‐point connections between IP/MPLS network elements. A new connection or circuit is typically established in the transport network when the traffic demand grows above a certain threshold, in order to satisfy the established Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and ensure that the network can comply with the planned reliability. With the advent of optical networking, reconfigurable optical switches (ROADMs) are now available in the transport network, bringing the possibility to establish on demand direct connections among switches (usually called lightpaths). At present, most network operators rely on lightpath provisioning via a Transport Network Management System (TNMS), sometimes also referred to as Carrier-‐Grade NMS. When a TNMS is used, the overall process for the establishment of a lightpath can be fully automated, drastically simplifying the operation and management of the transport network.


In this context, the operator’s network paradigm is moving towards a two-‐layer scheme, composed of high capacity IP/MPLS routers connected through reconfigurable optical switches (ROADMs). Despite its apparent simplicity, many issues have been solved by the ONE adapter by providing a unified framework for both layers. The IP/MPLS and transport networks have been traditionally designed and operated by separate departments within network operators. Likewise, both layers have always represented different business areas for network providers, maintaining different product lines in each of them. This means that the targeted markets are not related just with one layer, but to both layers and not only for network operators and vendors, but also third parties can be included. The stakeholders of the ONE adapter and their roles are presented in deliverable D2.3 [1]. Here the most relevant stakeholders are explained:

• Hardware and Software vendors. Their role is to deliver hardware and software solutions for users, for management solution providers, for IP networks, and for transport networks.

• Management solution providers. Their role is to provide supportive services for stakeholders in the industry. Security, billing, path computation, and measurement tools are services that they provide to the IP/MPLS and the transport network providers.

• Transport network providers. Their role is to provision connectivity services for IP/MPLS network providers, apart from their traditional services (voice communication).

• IP/MPLS network providers. Their role is to make use of the IP and MPLS protocols to switch data communications packets and sell Internet access to end-‐users by using the connectivity services from transport network providers.

• Internet exchange points (IXPs). They provision a facility for interconnecting IP networks and transport networks at low cost.

Based on the relation between the stakeholders, four business models were defined in deliverable D2.3 [1]:

Business Model 1. The ONE adapter is deployed by one provider coordinating the transport layer NMS and the IP-‐layer NMS (Figure 2-‐a).

Business Model 2. The ONE adapter is offered by an Internet exchange (IX) service provider (Figure 2-‐b).

Business Model 3. The ONE adapter is offered by a Transport network provider (Figure 2-‐c).

Business Model 4. The ONE adapter is offered by a stand-‐alone management service provider (Figure 2-‐d).


a) Peer Model b) IX Provider

c) Transport network provider

d) Stand-‐alone management service provider

Figure 2: Business models of the ONE adapter as defined in deliverable D2.3 [1].

Once the business models and the relevant stakeholders are identified, the impact on each of the markets segments is presented in Table 1. The impact on each segment depends on the business model where the ONE adapter is deployed.

Hardware and Software vendors are impacted by the development of the ONE adapter, because it would be required to do adaptation in the software release of new network elements to support the standard interfaces defined in ONE or to integrate current proprietary interfaces in the IP-‐NMS or T-‐NMS modules. Regarding management solution providers, they would be highly impacted if they are developing the ONE adapter, maintaining and integrating in each of the use cases. They could even develop just a partial solution (e.g., involving integration), but this case was not considered in Table 1. For transport and IP/MPLS network providers, the impact would be small if they are integrating their NMS in the ONE adapter. It is assumed that they are not creating new interfaces or doing the integration within an NMS, which could be the case of Hardware and Software vendors. In case that they have to integrate with an NMS, their impact would be the same. When the transport network provider is offering the service, the impact would be high, because the ONE adapter would have to be developed by the transport network provider. Finally, IX providers can have an important role, when they are offering ONE as a service.

To sum up with this section, all actors within the ONE environment can be beneficiated by the deployment of the ONE adapter. Depending on the business model, each actor can do a good business and it can be monetized from equipment reduction, automation in the processes, or selling the service and maintenance to other actors within transport core networks.


4 Pathway to Exploitation

Beside each of the ONE partners’ exploitation plans presented within the next section, one might see potential in the general ONE project results exploitation ranging from particular functional concepts to the entire ONE adapter prototype.

4.1 Potential Impact

The ONE adapter enables automatic operation in multi-‐layer environments composed by IP and optical equipment. Such automation is currently possible in three different scenarios:

• IP Service Provisioning. Currently core operators’ networks are divided into two layers (transport and IP/MPLS), and there are also different departments carrying out the configuration operations. The introduction of the ONE adapter integrates the operation between the transport and the IP/MPLS layers. This means that the planning, provisioning, and operation tasks can be done in an automated way, centralized in the ONE adapter. According to the studies done within this project (see deliverable 5.2 [2]), the introduction of the ONE adapter enables a 23% reduction in the number of required interventions (in case of purchasing the equipment). If the resources are available, the reduction is around 83%. Moreover, if the expended time is analyzed, the time savings reach almost a 100% (if the equipment is already available in the network) or a benefit of 12% in the needed time to establish the new link, when the equipment has to be installed. This means that the potential impact of the ONE adapter can be used to reduce the different steps in service levels of the hardware support and technical support. Relaxing the SLA requirements is key to drive down the operational costs, which are a high part of operators (and vendors) expenses.

• IP/MPLS Offloading. The idea behind IP/MPLS Offloading is that the traffic flows can be switched at the optical transport layer instead of consuming IP resources. Switching high capacity flows optically is cheaper and consumes less energy than switching at the IP/MPLS layer. This way, the optical layer may be used to reduce the CAPEX and OPEX requirements in the network, thus absorbing the traffic growth via the optical layer instead of the IP/MPLS layer. On the other hand, optical networks have very coarse per-‐connection granularity and they lack of the multiplexing benefits of IP/MPLS networks, so the possibility of resource underutilization increases when every connection uses an optical path. IP/MPLS Offloading


enables the optimal configuration of the optical and IP/MPLS layer to reduce the CAPEX in the network.

• Multi-‐layer Restoration. Multilayer restoration consists on having extra-‐shared backup routers to restore the traffic in case of a failure in an IP router. This technique is compared in D5.2 with the actual network dimensioning strategies, where two IP planes are created in order to deal with node failures. The utilization of this technique reduces not only the CAPEX but also OPEX in the network. The reason for the CAPEX reduction is that the investments on transit equipment are reduced. For Telefónica’s scenario, the maximum savings are of 37.5% in the number of transit routers. Multi-‐layer restoration with a 37.5% of CAPEX reduction achieves even better availability than traditional 1+1 protection. Regarding the OPEX, multi-‐layer restoration presents benefits in terms of operational expenditures, such as the Mean-‐Time-‐To-‐Repair (MTTR), since with ONE the MTTR can be extended. This means that the operator can reduce the SLA constraints for reparation contracts. This is an important part of any network operator organization, since the latter has to cope with network failures and decide how and when to fix the equipment as needed. It is easy to understand that equipment reparations present important organizational issues that an operator has to deal with. According to the findings in the project, the MTTR parameter can be extended almost 21 times compared to the traditional case of 1+1 protection.

It is clear that there are multiple reasons to deploy the ONE adapter in operator’s networks. There are CAPEX and OPEX reductions. This means that the network operators can reduce their investment in terms of equipment, then justifying the investment in a solution like the ONE adapter. Moreover, the operator can reduce the OPEX in their networks with the ONE adapter. According to [3], OPEX for an operator can be divided in to seven general categories: 1) network operation, 2) interconnection and roaming, 3) marketing and sales, 4) customer service, 5) charging and billing, 6) IT and general support, and 7) service development. In particular, the OPEX category where the IP over Optical integration can play a significant role is in the network operation category, which includes OSS operation, maintenance and repair of the network elements, equipment and software licenses, rental of network resources, costs for site rental and electricity. In order to have an insight on the order of magnitude of the OPEX related to network operations, the Yankee Group estimates that for a fixed line operator, the network operation takes a significant part of the expenses, accounting for 39% of the total OPEX. Thus, the main expected impact of the ONE adapter is to drive down the network related OPEX.


4.2 Risk Analysis

The trend of changing traditional network management to the SDN form is very active on the market nowadays. The ONE adapter concepts are fitting very well into this trend, and as such could be seen as an attractive option to go forward. We can see two sides of the risk around the exploitation of the ONE project results.

The first one is connected to the current market trends and deployment of the OpenDaylight Project that is aiming at functionalities partly overlapping with ONE, and has already gathered an open source community, and support of large vendors making it the lead on the market in this segment. Competition with such force might be very hard.

The second origins from the ONE project definitions as resulting with the prototype of the ONE adapter. The prototype quality that stands behind these definitions always means many hours spent on bringing the code to the production quality that could be sold or given for use to the end customer. Willingness to undertake this effort is for sure a risk.


5 Partners’ Exploitation Plans

5.1 ADVA

ADVA has a clear statement to continue invest in innovation and adds value through differentiated customer-‐focused innovation. For this purpose ADVA can exploit some of the results from the ONE project.

One example is from the ONE adapter’s early stages when implementing enhancements for the MTOSI north bound interface of ADVA’s management system FSP NM. Despite the shift to OpenFlow explained in other parts of our documentation ADVA gained through the work on the MTOSI interface. To expand the interface tools had to be written to handle the big amount of needed data reliably.

The mentioned shift from MTOSI to OpenFlow led to enhancements of ADVA’s SW suite OpenFlow interface. OpenFlow plays a central role in different activities at ADVA. For the ONE adapter the OpenFlow agents had to be used and expanded in order to meet the advanced routing ONE comprises. The knowledge gained out of this will be used for further development inside the company.

The shift to OpenFlow brought the same requirements for the interface on the OpenFlow which were defined for MTOSI. Therefore through the interface technology shift it was proved that not only the ONE adapter is flexible but also ADVA’s network management system. We can state that ADVA’s employees who contributed to the ONE project have a high knowledge in both technologies which will be used.

ADVA is one of the leading companies treating the network as a programmable resource under central control. It contributes in groups researching the SDN topic as well as implementing own solutions. Here the concepts used for the orchestration in the ONE adapter should influence the future developments.

ADVA is interested and has already been involved in numerous efforts to drive new efficiencies in transport network services. Consequently ADVA is committed to help and assist Network Operators to overcome time and resource consuming procedures. These OPEX consuming procedures are caused through segregation, fragmentation and the lack of automated coordination of management


procedures between various network layers, which is explained in detail in the delivered design documentation.

The workflow-‐based design in the ONE adapter as the main operational concept where the Network Operator can define its own workflow is remarkable. This concept of dynamic insertion of workflows during run-‐time and modifying them shall be used in ADVA products in the future.

Additionally, ADVA puts attention to the Ontology Mapper (OM) design. The way how the OM adapts from generic representation to technology specific functions presents for ADVA special value. The ONE adapter uses the Ontologies for mediation from agnostic forms of communication to specific technology-‐dependent forms as described in the design document. The concept of semantic interpretation of different syntaxes within a Network Business Intelligence (NBI) framework via Ontologies inspires future ADVA development directions.

5.2 TID

The continuously growing data traffic volume mainly determined by mobile users (smart phones, tablets, etc.), video content distribution, Cloud-‐based services and related data center communications is creating high pressure to core networks with respect to capacity and scalability. To improve network capacity and automate its management, ONE has deeply investigated different approaches and came up with an architecture to deal with multi-‐layer architectures.

Telefónica I+D is the innovation company of the Telefónica Group. Founded in 1988, it contributes to the Group's competitiveness and modernity through technological innovation. To achieve this aim, the company applies new ideas, concepts and practices in addition to developing advanced products and services. It is the largest private R+D centre in Spain as regards activity and resources, and is the most active company in Europe in terms of European research projects in the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) sector. Over the last few years, within the global market Telefónica I+D has grown to become a network of centres of technological excellence that stretches far beyond the Spanish borders. Telefónica I+D it is working for the companies in the Telefónica Group in the rest of Europe, America and Asia.

The results from the ONE project have provided Telefónica I+D with new insights and helped position the company as a reference for multi-‐layer orchestration. The work in ONE has produced the first implementation to provide services in multi-‐layer networks for the company, which has been presented to the vendors that collaborate with all companies of the Telefónica Group.

ONE has been a key project to driver in multi-‐layer activities in the Telefónica Group and an enabler for participation at IETF as part of the standardization strategy of Telefónica I+D. The activities carried out in ONE have influenced the strategic plan in the evolution of core networks design towards network automation based on architectures that overcome scalability issues, which have a great impact on the day to day operation of the Telefónica Group data centres. Thanks to the addition of OpenFlow (OF) support to the ONE adapter, ONE enables the migration towards SDN


environments, where there are network elements using OF (like ADVA equipment), but at the same time there are legacy equipment without OF support like some of the routers in our testbeds.

The aim of Telefónica I+D is not to develop products for the Telefónica Group, but to influence on Telefónica operations in the adoption of technologies, as well as propose new evolution schemes to Telefónica’s providers. Thanks to the collaboration with ADVA and Juniper, Telefónica I+D leaded a field trial of the ONE adapter prototype in Telefónica Germany network. This activity had a great impact in the press and in the vendors, which have asked about the solution developed within the ONE project. Thanks to this collaboration with the vendors, Telefónica I+D expects to have a solution for multi-‐layer networks in the near future in the operations of Telefónica Group.

5.3 TUBS

TU Braunschweig (TUBS) has already exploited the results of project on in form of various publications, in IEEE Transactions [5], IEEE Communication Magazine [6], and others. In addition, TUBS has actively contributed to the multi-‐layer PCE open source development [7]. Moving forward, TUBS will further extend its research activities by publishing related scientific publications, enabling future projects and give graduate and undergraduate students the opportunity to get insights in and work on new and promising topics in network management. TUBS plans to include the network management topics in graduate classes on Advance Topics in Telecommunications and Broadband communications. In addition, our interests will include the analysis of new environments that would potentially benefit by using the ONE adapter, such as Cloud service providers or data centers. Over the past few years, the project has built up a repository of novel ideas that TU Braunschweig can further exploit by publishing more scientific papers based on this knowledge and extending it to emerging trends in networking, such as the Software Defined Networking (SDN) paradigm.

5.4 UPC

The Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) is already exploiting the results produced by ONE along different axes. Firstly, the research team involved in this project has already published several articles at OSA/IEEE OFC, at IEEE/IFIP NOMS, etc., which were enumerated and reported in the corresponding deliverables. Indeed, there are currently papers under review led by UPC; for instance, at the IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials. Secondly, the research activities carried out under this project have derived in two doctoral theses, both of which will be completed and evaluated in the fall of 2014. One of the doctoral works is on Ontologies, and the doctoral candidate has significantly contributed to the state-‐of-‐the-‐art, in aspects such as automated instantiation of concepts and semantic adaptations for configuring devices by means of Ontologies. The other candidate is working on multi-‐layer protection and restoration, and has proposed novel strategies for reducing the CAPEX, the OPEX, and the potential


traffic loss during restoration procedures supported through the ONE adapter. Thirdly, several of the concepts handled in this project were recently integrated to both graduate and undergrad courses in UPC, such as the “Future Internet” course (340361). The main concepts introduced were: i) the strengths of coordinated network management across layers and vendors; ii) insights on how to achieve coordinated orchestrations across layers and vendors; iii) Semantic adaptations through correct policy and ontology definitions; and iv) the advantages of workflow definition and processing. Finally, the research group has already identified a number of future directions and new research endeavors, especially, in the following two topics: i) managing policy-‐based orchestrations on a distributed fashion across layers and vendors (including policy transformation and adaptation); and ii) coordinated orchestrations in the context of Software Defined Networking (SDNs), especially, in heterogeneous scenarios involving both brand new and legacy devices and protocols.

5.5 SNU

As exploitation activities, SNU integrates the results of the ONE project into the curriculum of two courses of the Technology Management, Economics, and Policy (TEMEP) program of the College of Engineering. The first course, the Information Technology Cost Analysis course (463.556) has been taught in spring 2013, covering techno-‐economics. In detail, it addresses cost and efficiency estimation of network management solutions that favour coordination-‐based approaches versus integration-‐based approaches. The second course, the Internet and Telecommunication Policy course (463.536), is also part of the curriculum and will be taught during the fall semester. This class will cover policy issues on multi-‐layer, multi-‐domain network management and network control paradigm. In particular, it will promote the solution that has been proposed within the project.
