Abstract:
   The introduction of network and service functionality virtualization
   in carrier-grade networks promises improved operations in terms of
   flexibility, efficiency, and manageability.  In current practice,
   virtualization is controlled through orchestrator entities that
   expose programmable interfaces according to the underlying resource
   types.  Typically this means the adoption of, on the one hand,
   established data center compute/storage and, on the other, network
   control APIs which were originally developed in isolation.  Arguably,
   the possibility for innovation highly depends on the capabilities and
   openness of the aforementioned interfaces.  This document introduces
   in simple terms the problems arising when one follows this approach
   and motivates the need for a high level of programmability beyond
   policy and service descriptions.  This document also summarizes the
   challenges related to orchestration programming in this unified cloud
   and carrier network production environment.
