OIF Validates Maturity of Transport SDN APIs in 2020 Multi-Vendor
Summary
FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OIF today revealed the results of its 2020 Transport SDN Application Programming Interface (API) Interoperability Demonstration in a new white paper now available here. The 2020 joint network operator, multi-vendor demo event focused on testing SDN-based programmability, control, and automation to support the industry to develop standard, robust, interoperable APIs for widescale adoption. “International co-operations, like this one with OIF, allow the industry to progress at a high pace and Telia Company welcomes the opportunity offered by this interoperability demo. The interoperability testing involved three phases over ten weeks, Sept – Nov 2020, in Telefónica’s Madrid lab: • Phase 3: End-to-end disaggregation demo, Scope: evaluation and demonstration of end-to-end use cases Findings and results of the testing include: • Vendor products demonstrate a high level of maturity and support of operator-favored use cases, based on T-API version 2.1.3 and OpenConfig APIs. • A particularly good level of compliance to the OpenConfig models was demonstrated by implementations, however, some areas such as key exchange algorithms for IETF NETCONF and complex use cases for device provisioning and commissioning did generate issues.
