Abstract:
Previously transport networks were typically static, lacked
flexibility, and required long planning times when deploying new
services. Network Providers and Service Providers have embraced
technologies that allow separation of data plane and control plane,
distributed signaling for path setup and protection, and centralized
path computation for service planning and traffic engineering.
Although these technologies provide significant benefits, they do
not meet the growing need for network programmability, automation,
resource sharing, and service elasticity necessary for meeting
customer demands and evolving Internet applications
By combining the aforementioned capabilities with network resource
virtualization and abstraction mechanisms, available via well-
defined customer interfaces, providing significant operational
benefits to meet the growing demands from customers and
applications. The work effort investigating this problem space is
known as Abstraction and Control of Transport Networks (ACTN).
This document provides an ACTN problem description, scope of work,
and outlines the core requirements to facilitate network resource
virtualization and resource slicing for customers and applications,
across Service Provider and Network Provider transport network
infrastructure.
