CTTC contributes to the Open Networking Foundation’s (ONF) reference implementation agreements for transport API (TAPI) v2.1.3 (TR-547, TR-548), a joint collaboration between optical network providers and operators to create a standard reference specification for the implementation of optical network management. The Telecom Infra Project MUST (Mandatory Use Case Requirements for SDN for Transport) subgroup, aiming to accelerate and drive the adoption of SDN standards for transport technologies, is referencing TAPI defined use cases in TR-547 and TR-548 to evaluate SDN commercial solutions following TIP’s Test and Validation framework. TAPI will enable the integration of the transport networks with the overall 5G orchestration.
