TeraFlow joined TIP's Open Optical Packet Transport for a webinar sharing the latest news and developments from the MUST project sub-group. MUST, Mandatory Use Case Requirements for SDN Transport, is a new program within OOPT to define a common SDN architecture and open and standard interfaces between the control and management layer to fulfill operators' needs. MUST delivers requirement documents operators used as part of the RFI, RFP and RFQ processes to ensure their solutions providing open and standard-based interfaces.
A panel of expert speakers, including our partners from Telefonica as leading operators, presented updates in Q1-Q3 as well as the main project metrics to date, including the green-lighting of the TIP Test & Validation framework around defined use cases implementations, a key step in awarding the TIP Ribbons and Badges that will play a critical role in accelerating the pace of commercial deployments.
