Lessons learnt
vCPE is complex !! QoS, NAT, security ??
Engineering
Our enterprise customers will not like it !!
Product Management
I can’t configure this service !! The process doesn’t work.
Service Delivery
I don’t know how to troubleshoot this service !!
Service Operations
Our inventory tool cannot represent a virtual CPE …
IT
I can’t design this service !!
Presales
Our customers will want a discount !! Sales

WAN SDN Network (Optical/Ethernet/IP): • Modular MSP (Integrated L2/L3 WAN Network) • End to end WAN network abstraction & full automation in a multi-
vendor, multi-layer environment • Flexible connectivity, i.e., ability to dynamically / on-demand change the
connectivity attributes of the service (BW, QoS profile, etc).

WAN SDN: what’s next ? • DC Network virtualized, but WAN remains static
• Next step (research mode) to bring SDN to the WAN (L1/L2/L3) : WAN virtualisation – Flexible connectivity – Dynamic / On-demand connectivity attributes (BW, QoS profile) – WAN Network abstraction (multi-vendor, multi-layer) – In-life service-type change
• Both DC and non-DC WAN scenarios: – Cloud Inter-DC (data & storage) – Enterprise to DC (Public / Private Cloud) – Enterprise to Enterprise Optical & Carrier Ethernet VPN
• WAN SDN overlay solutions seem current realistic approach (several models): – OpenFlow (with transport extensions if needed) agents in WAN network devices: standard API
for configuration, monitoring & configuration – Alternative to manage OF agent at the SDN controller plus other classic protocols (SNMP, etc) – Existing transport control planes available (RSVP-TE, GMPLS, etc) for overlay solutions – A mixed set of models (Overlay/Hybrid/OSS-based) to be analysed
