Virtualisation of the Service Provider Network will happen

Virtualisation is the next transformative catalyst for the ServiceProvider Network

The purpose of virtualisation todayis to address OpEX

Should we stop there?

No!

Orchestration can extend the impact of virtualisation

It will add capabilities to the Service Provider top line

Characteristic General PurposeCPU

Custom ASIC / NPU

Throughput (BW) Low High (10x)

Performance (pps) Low High (10x)

Power efficiency (Gbps/W) Low High

Integration Effort Low High

Flexibility High Low/Medium

System development

cost & time Low High

Use x86 (General CPU) for control, signalling and high touch, low BW

applications where cost, flexibility and fast development are required

Use Custom ASIC/NPU implementations for high BW, high performance

processing where algorithms are well defined/known

Rules of Thumb

Downside

20% increase in requiredprocessing

Upside

Moores Law Processing doublesevery 36 months

NeilsensLawb/w increases by50% annually

Butters Law - cost per optical bitdecreases by 50% every 9 months

BUT we need to pay attention toWirths law

S/W gets slower more rapidly thanH/W becomes faster

So, yes, it is sustainable ... but

you have to really think about it

What is the relationship of interests?

You hear things like: Your apps are you

And then there are statistics like this ...

48% of users would be less likely to use the app again if its performance isbad

84% of users say app store rating are important in their download and install

decisions

78 % of users expect mobile apps to load as fast as, or faster than, a mobile
