The IEEE 1904 Access Networks Working Group (ANWG) uses an open and accredited process to develop standards for access networks. The Working Group technical expertise covers various optical access architectures based on Ethernet Passive Optical Networks (EPON), such as fiber-to-the-home, fiber-to-the-business, and cellular backhaul.
The IEEE P1900 Standards Committee, DySPAN-SC's predecessor, was established in the first quarter 2005 jointly by the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) and the IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Society. The objective of the effort was to develop supporting standards dealing with new technologies and techniques being developed for next generation radio and advanced spectrum management. On 22 March 2007, the IEEE Standards Association Standards Board approved the reorganization of the IEEE 1900 effort as Standards Coordinating Committee 41 (SCC41), "Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN)". The IEEE Communications Society and EMC Society were supporting societies for this effort, as they were for the IEEE 1900 effort.
IEEE SCC41 was approached by the IEEE ComSoc Standards Board (CSSB) in late 2010, as ComSoc Standards Board was extremely interested in SCC41 being brought back directly under its wing. SCC41 voted to be directly answerable to ComSoc in December 2010, and was thereby renamed as IEEE DySPAN-SC. At its December 2010 Meeting, the IEEE Standards Association Standards Board (SASB) approved the transfer of projects from SCC41 to CSSB.
The TOSCA Simple Profile in YAML specifies a rendering of TOSCA which aims to provide a more accessible syntax aswell as a more concise and incremental expressiveness of the TOSCA DSL in order to minimize the learning curve and speed the adoption of the use of TOSCA to portably describe cloud applications. This proposal describes a YAML rendering for TOSCA. YAML is a human friendly data serialization standard (http://yaml.org/) with a syntax much easier to read and edit than XML. As there are a number of DSLs encoded in YAML, a YAML encoding of the TOSCA DSL makes TOSCA more accessible by these communities.This proposal prescribes an isomorphic rendering in YAML of a subset of the TOSCA v1.0 XML specification ensuring that TOSCA semantics are preserved and can be transformed from XML to YAML or from YAML to XML. Additionally, in order to streamline the expression of TOSCA semantics, the YAML rendering is sought to be more concise and compact through the use of the YAML syntax.
The present document specifies Interoperability Test Descriptions (TDs) for OCCI and CDMI standards. The Test Descriptions cover the OCCI and CDMI protocol specifications where relevant and more specifically:
The scope of the present document is to describe use cases of interest for Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV). It updates and extends ETSI GS NFV 001 V1.1.1
.
The present document provides a review of previous use cases and adds some new use cases in the context of virtualisation that are related to emerging 5G features such as the Network Slicing concept, enhanced Security, IOT virtualisation.
The order of use cases is not intended to give any priority amongst use cases.
.
These service models and use cases are intended to clarify the roles and interactions of the various types of commercial entities acting in a marketplace for services delivered via these VNFs. These actors include commercial entities/roles such as Service Providers, Enterprises, Consumers, etc. The fields of application provide high level descriptions of areas where the industry believes NFV technologies can be applied and which are representative of the business and technical challenges to be overcome.
.
The service models and use cases described in the present document are intended to provide a commercial and technical context that is expected to be useful for discussions to be handled s in further specifications to be developed by the NFV ISG. Other Industry forums may also find these service models and use cases helpful as they consider implementation options for virtualisation of the network functions they have previously standardized. The present document is not intended to provide detailed behavioural modelling of components of the NFV framework. Future documents describing additional components of the NFV framework may develop additional use cases to illustrate the behaviour of those NFV framework components; those components of the NFV framework, however, should be validated against the service models and fields of application described in the present document for consistency
The present document describes the high-level functional architectural framework and design philosophy of virtualised network functions and of the supporting infrastructure. The document also defines the scope of the NFV Industry Specification Group (ISG) activities to realize this framework.
The purpose of the present document is to abstract the overall problem space in such a way that the requirements and aspects unique to NFV (ETSI GS NFV 004: "Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV); Virtualisation Requirements") are clearly identified so that the work can be scoped and organized. The resulting network architectural framework aims at positioning NFV among relevant telecommunications and IT industry stakeholders, including network operators, solution vendors, service integrators and providers, as well as serving as a reference to NFV ISG working groups.
Another purpose of the present document is to provide guidance to the industry Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) to align existing network related specifications with the NFV architectural framework outlined in the present document. Any further standardization of network functions, architecture and interfaces that are required to properly operate in a virtualised environment will be carried out in relevant SDOs. The resulting standards are expected to support the NFV high-level architectural requirements for both intra- and inter-provider domains.
The present document provides terms and definitions for conceptual entities within the scope of the ISG NFV, in order to achieve a "common language" across all the ISG NFV working groups.
The present document specifies the requirements that Telecommunications operations put on Network Functions Virtualisation in order to consolidate network equipment, belonging to fixed and mobile networks, onto industry standard high volume servers, switches and storage, which could be located in N-PoPs, Network Nodes and in end user premises.
The present document addresses the requirements in the following areas:
The present document addresses the requirements to facilitate the assignment of infrastructure resources to virtual network functions. Specific NFV requirements will focus primarily on the differences introduced by the Network Functions Virtualisation (NFV) process, and not on aspects of the Network Functions (NF) interfaces, protocols and management that are identical whether the implementation is physical or virtual.
The IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee develops and maintains networking standards and recommended practices for local, metropolitan, and other area networks, using an open and accredited process, and advocates them on a global basis. The most widely used standards are for Ethernet, Bridging and Virtual Bridged LANs Wireless LAN, Wireless PAN, Wireless MAN, Wireless Coexistence, Media Independent Handover Services, and Wireless RAN. An individual Working Group provides the focus for each area.
