Agenda

• Controlling millions of packet flows under SDN orchestration

• Managing thousands of VNFs in an NFV architecture

• Make it real – an overview of the Mobile CORD initiative.

• Considerations for virtualized media processing and transcoding


• Carrier-scale to millions of subscriber flows

• Wire-speedservice delivery

• Unparalleled programmability

• Unmatched flexibility and speed to time to market

• Real-time analytics for intelligent enforcement

• Latency sensitive stateful flow awareness

Agenda






Introduction to M-CORD

CORD = Central Office Re-architected as a Data center• combines NFV, SDN, and the elasticity of commodity clouds to bring

datacenter economics and cloud agility to the Telco Central Office. • Major service providers like AT&T, SK Telecom, Verizon, China

Unicom and NTT Communications are already supporting CORD.

Mobile CORD (M-CORD)• Mission to enable 5G mobile services on CORD architecture


Mobile Edge Services

Collaborators for M-CORD Proof of Concept


Agenda






Data Processing Characteristics in the Network

Signalling and Control Applications• Lots of variation in processing requirements• Bursty traffic• Trickle of packet volumes (compared to data)• EXCELLENT candidate for virtualization

Data Plane Processing Applications• Fewer functions to be processed really fast…• Very stringent requirements for delay/jitter• Firehose of packet volumes• LESS OBVIOUS candidate for virtualization
