Smarter Networks - Role of SDN and NFV in Comcast BB Cable Networks
Photonic Society of the IEEE North Jersey Section is sponsoring the following talk on July 19, 2016 at 4:00 PM:
Abstract:The cable industry is seeing two major shifts: adoption of new access technologies that are capable of delivering higher data rates and a growing interest towards new advanced services that go beyond traditional services. Access network technology is undergoing an evolution. Next generation DOCSIS (DOCSIS 3.1) and Passive Optical Networks (e.g. 10G EPON) enable MSOs to deliver higher data rates to subscribers. On the other hand, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Software Defined Networking (SDN) have certainly excited the industry and many innovative network architectures and applications are being proposed using these concepts. MSOs are researching to develop and offer more advanced and seamless subscriber-aware services to users that go beyond the DOCSIS service flows. These services will be abstracted from access network and end-to-end network technology has to be agile and capable to deliver these services.
In this talk, we will present an Operator-Service Provider’s perspective of NFV, thoughts on what functions can be virtualized in the access network that will improve the agility of the network.
