NO LONGER ACTIVE DRAFT - RFC 8519 defines a YANG data model for Access Control Lists (ACLs). This document discusses a set of extensions that fix many of the limitations of the ACL model as initially defined in RFC 8519.

NO LONGER ACTIVE DRAFT - This document defines a YANG data model for representing an abstract view of the provider network topology that contains Intermediate System to intermediate System (ISIS) information. This document augments the 'ietf-network' data model by adding ISIS concepts.

Network Slicing (NS) is an integral part of Service Provider networks. The IETF has produced several YANG data models to support the Software-Defined Networking and network slice architecture and YANG- based service models for network slice (NS) instantiation. This document describes the r

The data model for network topologies defined in RFC 8345 introduces vertical layering relationships between networks that can be augmented to cover network and service topologies.

This document defines an L2VPN Network Model (L2NM) that can be used to manage the provisioning of Layer 2 Virtual Private Network (L2VPN) services within a network (e.g., a service provider network).

As a complement to the Layer 3 Virtual Private Network Service Model (L3SM), which is used for communication between customers and service providers, this document defines an L3VPN Network Model (L3NM) that can be used for the provisioning of Layer 3 Virtual Private Network (L3VPN) services withi

This document defines a common YANG module that is meant to be reused by various VPN-related modules such as Layer 3 VPN and Layer 2 VPN network models.

This demonstration showcases how TeraFlowSDN provides support for hierarchical control of multiple heterogeneous SDN domains (through IP, microwave and optical technologies). Different transport slices are offered with multiple SLAs and grouped to optimize resources.

We demonstrate zero-touch device bootstrapping, monitoring, and L3-VPN service management using the novel TeraFlow OS SDN controller prototype.

This demo presents the TeraFlowSDN controller as a solution to provide dedicated transport network slices with SLAs. To this end, the demo details how the interface between an NFV orchestrator and the SDN controller can provide transport network slices using protected disjoint paths.

We present and demonstrate service provisioning in partially disaggregated multi-vendor network automation scenarios with online physical impairment validation.

This tutorial considers the evolution of SDN control for optical transport networks in disaggregated scenarios, focusing on its requirements and challenges when applied to "beyond 100G" networks - term that jointly refers to the use of coherent technology, data rates beyond 100G and the evolution

Scalability and resiliency are two significant requirements for upcoming beyond 5G networks. As network resource usage is expected to increase, scalability of the control plane handling the required amount of network resources is also necessary.

Network operators cannot change their footprint to upgrade the entire network to support SDN from scratch. Hence, network operators adapted the original SDN concept into a hybrid SDN approach to have a pragmatic, evolutionary, and economically viable solution.

TeraFlow proposes a new type of secure, cloud-native Software Defined Networking (SDN) controller that will radically advance the state-of-the-art in beyond 5G networks by introducing novel micro-services architecture, and provide revolutionary features for both flow management (service layer) an
