Northbound interfacing
Applications/Services(X-as-a-Service)
Infrastructure
“Operating System”(fuzzy definition)
Southbound interfacing
Architectural Model Trends Examples of activities
X-as-a-Service unification paradigm:i.e., SDN controller, network function,cloud services are just like “apps” to beexecute on an Operating System
Automated execution of COMPprocesses (Control, Orchestration,Management and Policy)End-to-end extensions up to terminals
OpenStack, ONOS, X-OS/CORD,ETSI NFV, ONF, MesoSphere, etc
Commoditization (e.g., Central Officesto become DC based on almoststandard h/w);Disaggregation Into components(e.g., Edge and Fog Computing)
Open Compute Project (OCP) Telecom Infra Project (TIP)IEEE SDN “OMEC”ETSI MEC, etc
Intent framework (IETF)TOSCA/YANG (OASIS, IETF)
OpenFlow, NetConf, …, P4, etc.
Simplification of interfacing andunification of templates
Programming and configurationprotocols

Infrastructure resources(e.g., UE/Terminals, Fixed-RAN, Core, Computing-Storage)
Virtualization Layer(e.g., KVM)
Virtual Infrastructure Manager(e.g., OpenStack, ONOS)
VNF Manager(e.g., X-OS/CORD)
VMs, Containers,…Virtual Links
VNFs, Middleboxes,Service Functions
End-to-end 5G Services(5G as a Platform)
NFV Orchestrators
Industry 4.0 IoT Connected CarsVertical Platforms

Complexity (at the proper level) enables “adaptation”
12A. Manzalini, SI.II.TF
functional decomposition andnodes/systems modularization
Complexity is a property of system
Lower Bound of Complexity(predictable performance)
Upper Bound of Complexity(unpredictable performance)
State of Complexity(dictated by the “constraints that deconstrain”)
Which is trade-off ?A.I. can help: better if A.I.2
