Over the next decade, Next Generation Central Office will be a key strategic location for NFV and service delivery for Telcos, OTT and industry verticals. NGCO will drive fixed mobile convergence and new services, transforming the network, increasing business agility and offering new user experiences.

2. MEC : What’s in it for 5G Ready Developers?
Presented by Sujata Tibrewala, Networking Communities Manager, Intel

ETSI views Multi Access Edge Computing as a third party trusted application deployment framework at the edge of the network.  This talk will talk about how it is relevant for 5G as a service-based architecture? What is in it for developers, with application development skills, orchestration and management skills, virtualization and platform SW skills and System integration skills and also adjacent VNF providers?

3. Kubernetes and Network Function Virtualization (NFV): Friends or Foes
Presented by Ivan Coughlan, Intel; Feng Pan, Red Hat; Gergely Csatari, Nokia

Kubernetes(K8s) is typically used to run workloads of production web applications at massive scale. While NFV control plane functions are similar to the usual K8s workloads, data plane functions differ greatly and require special attention in order that the capabilities of K8s can be extended to support NFV use cases.

In this talk, we describe a collaborative effort of creating an NFV ecosystem and establishing open source Cloud Native Networking in kubernetes to address challenges towards commercialization. This work spans K8s resource management and networking to support NUMA, CPU pinning & isolation, Multiple networks and high-performance network I/O with SR-IOV, Device Plugins and Userspace networking. This talk will discuss these efforts and their current status and provide an opportunity for those interested to learn more about joining the effort to further these solutions upstream.

4. When vSwitch Meets Kata Container
Presented by Hongjun Ni & Samuel Ortiz, Intel

SR-IOV and vSwitch is an important NFVI technology for Telco NFV infrastructure. On top of DPDK,  SR-IOV and vSwitch can support the fast data path to VM, Bare-Metal Container. With the new release of Kata Container 1.0 in May ’2018, Here is a technical session on how to support Kata Container to gain the next level of security isolation and flexible VNF provision.  The talk will walk through the integration on K8S, Container Network Plug-in(CNI), Multus CNI,  Kata Container with OVN/OVS together.

Open Networking - Putting it All Together - Attilla de Groot, Cumulus Networks
Over the past few years Open Networking has grown with network operating systems, Linux networking, open hardware, DevOPS tools etc ...

Cumulus Networks has developed a Linux NOS for open networking. When talking about the OS or implementing it at customers, we run into several different questions, like:

"How do I manage this in a "web-scale" way?"
"Which tools do I use?"
"How do I implement this in an Enterprise environment?"

In this presentation I would like to show the combination of technologies and tools to build and manage a web-scale networking build from open source tools like:

- Vagrant
- KVM
- Linux kernel VRF support
- Free Range Routing
- Ansible
- Netbox
- Grafana

The presentation will cover how these tools can be put together in an operational environment and it will be demonstrated in a live demo.

A Hitchhiker Guide to Machine Learning Applications for "Intelligent Network" - Present, Near Future and "Nirvana" - Uri Elzur, Intel
The exponential growth is network complexity is old news. More use cases, more real time and on-demand, more components are used to comprise each service as Telco moves to VM, and Containers (microservices, Functions are around the corner). Human response time and humans ability to comprehend in real time, these complex environments are challenged. Operators have some urgent needs: higher agility, faster application development and deployment, optimized total cost of ownership, optimized infrastructure utilization, best visibility/trace-ability etc. ML is expected to help. Standards and PoCs start to evolve: e.g. what does ETSI ENI do to address these and other challenges? How will the new ML functionality interact with MANO? Orchestration? Infrastructure? Is "Intent based Networking" related to ML? When will ML be available? What are the industry latest ML developments and more....

How to Bring your Virtual Machine VNF to Container World? - Tomofumi Hayashi, Red Hat
Container changes the world, but does it change everything? This presentation will explain the gaps between VNF virtual machines and VNF containers with various open source projects' help for VNF developers. It is not just easy thing to changing software itself from virtual machines to containers due to the difference of software archtecture. There are various considerations for changing virtual machine VNF to container VNF, such as up-to-date containers' network infrastructure (e.g. multiple network interfaces in kubernetes), configuration framework for users, metering for container operators and container infrastructure itself which interworks with VNF containers. This presentation will traverse these things with various open souce projects' help (i.e. OPNFV, Kubernetes and so on) to make your container VNF feasible to cloud native environment.

Tutorial: NFV features in Kubernetes: A Hands-on Tutorial - Douglas Smith, Red Hat & Kuralamudhan Ramakrishnan, Intel
In this tutorial, you will get to put your hands on the keyboard and spin up a Kubernetes environment and enable some NFV features that can be used today. This includes Kubernetes Networking and computing features.

The Kubernetes world is often focused on web-scale problems -- in the NFV world (and the high performance networking world-at-large) we have a lot of problems to solve that aren’t just simply “a single interface with HTTPS traffic”. You'll have a walkthrough to get a Kubernetes cluster up, and look into attaching multiple network interfaces to pods using Multus CNI, - a CNI plugin that allows you to attach multiple network interfaces to your Kubernetes pods and have an introduction on using SR-IOV from pods. You'll be introduced to a number of tools to get you equipped enough to get involved in the open source community in which these tools are being developed.

Evolving CI/CD in Open Source Networking - Fatih Degirmenci, Ericsson & Daniel Farrell, Red Hat
Various initiatives have been going on across open source networking communities to address the challenges in end-to-end integration&testing, especially when there is a need to bring different open source components together to see how they work in system context.

However, working on the problems that are common for different communities in an isolated manner is not beneficial for the ecosystem since what is done by each of these communities can potentially be shared by others who are working on solving similar problems. This includes but not limited to improved way of working, alignment on CI/CD and tooling.

This session aims to highlight the importance of bringing open source communities together to tackle the challenges in a collaborative manner and provide further information and updates regarding OpenCI Initiative to summarize the benefits of collaboration to networking industry.

The Artificial Reality of Cyber Defense - Pascal Geenens, Radware
Security threats are growing faster than security teams and budgets while there is a huge talent shortage in security. Proliferation of data from dozens of security products in complex environments is paradoxically making it harder, not easier, for teams to detect and investigate threats.
Attackers already have an unfair advantage over the defenders in cyber-attacks, it's time for security strategies to leverage automation in detection and mitigation, restore the balance and increase our chances to come out on top in the war against cyber threats. This presentation will discuss the different options in automating the detection and mitigation of attacks, from traditional machine learning to advanced deep learning systems, their challenges and applications, and where they fit in a modern cyber security strategy.

Driving to the Edge: How Open APIs and Open RAN will Transform Ordinary Parking Lots into Dynamic Data Centers - Natasha Tamaskar, Radisys
Self-driving cars are bringing the cloud to the most mundane of locations – the city parking lot. But this brings density and network congestion challenges as these cars demand access to mobile networks to receive updates. In addition, low latency IoT applications and devices in the vicinity could demand access to these parked cars’ idle processing power.

This presentation will cover how open APIs, Open RAN solutions, CBRS, and small cells combine to enable disaggregation and virtualization at the network edge, enabling new use cases such as driver assistance services (self-parking, etc.). Ultimately, the influx of local processing power and real-time data from self-driving cars will provide operators, developers, and even car owners, an opportunity to monetize the new data centers that will populate smart parking lots.

Putting together AI pipelines with Acumos - Pantelis Monogioudis & Michael Rooke, Nokia
For the open networking industry to achieve innovation and automation at the scale, AI/ML modeling must be greatly simplified. It starts with exposure of existing models in marketplaces, provision of industrial strength pipelines for training and secure deployment. Business processes such as model licensing and data syndication must also be in place for such marketplaces to thrive. Acumos provides a 360deg coverage on all these requirements. In this talk we focus on still evolving requirements and architecture constructs that allow Acumos to train complex AI/ML models via its programmable training pipeline and deploy them into network elements and popular public cloud targets.

Lightning Talk: Accelerating the Adoption of Hardware Accelerators in Containerized Deployments - Swati Sehgal, Intel Corporation Ltd.
With containers becoming the desired deployment model for a wide range of workloads such as Big Data, IoT, storage, AI, ML, SDN and NFV solutions, Container orchestration tools like Kubernetes, need to evolve to meet stringent networking and resource management requirements for optimum utilization of compute, network and storage. Such application generate large volume of data that needs to be securely transferred in and out of storage and over the network and inherently require compression and encryption which makes them computationally expensive. Offloading such operations to the hardware accelerators results in better CPU utilization and improved application performance.

This lightening talk educates the audience on how discovery, bookkeeping, scheduling and allocation of hardware accelerators is done in kubernetes using Intel QuickAssist as an example accelerator.

Keynote: New Research on Embryonic Edge: Apps, Money, Momentum - Michael Howard, Senior Research Director, Carrier Networks, IHS/Infonetics Research
The industry is excited about opportunities for the network Edge—or more exact, the Edges. IHS Markit just completed interviewing a group of the industry’s top edge experts from operators, vendors, startups, and industry organizations. We define edge applications as those that run on edge compute located within 20 milliseconds of the end user, device or machine. We found the top 10 edge applications, the expected top revenue producers, and when each app will be deployed. Of course, the edge is not free and is not without problems to be solved—so we found which apps are most expensive to deploy and what are the problems the industry has yet in front of us to solve before the edge is fully upon us.

Real-World Perspectives: How Automation + Open Source is Paving the Way for 5G Services - Angela Whiteford, Affirmed Networks
How can operators continue to be profitable while bandwidth demands grow exponentially and revenue remains static? The answer lies in automated services, a more predictive network, real-time analytics, and the integration of powerful open source technologies. Let’s imagine an automated offers management capability, for example, that would drastically change the way operators monetize their networks.   What if it could all be done autonomously in the network, without the need for any external configuration? In this presentation, Affirmed and a major customer will come together to bring this example to life, and discuss how advanced automation, machine learning, and open source come together to create truly innovative revenue generating services as the industry quickly moves towards the 5G future.

Services for All: How To Empower Engineers (with Kubernetes) - Melanie Cebula, Airbnb
At Airbnb today, our infrastructure supports thousands of production microservices. We expect developers to be able to create, configure, and operate their own services. But how do you solve configuration challenges for a thousand developers?

We’ve created a framework where all configuration can be stored alongside project code: everything from service orchestration, service discovery, secrets, cloud computing configuration, CI/CD, and more. Developers should only specify the minimal configuration, and boilerplate is reduced with generators and templated files.

Out-of-the-box CLI tools like kubectl are too verbose and unwieldy for service owners, so we created a lightweight wrapper for common operations.

Finally, we will go over how we use Kubernetes to solve common problems such as graceful degradation, AZ balancing, and more.

With each new entrant declaring it's superiority to existing virtual switches in terms of features, performance or both. To add to the overall confusion, there are innumerable articles comparing and contrasting the features and use cases for each virtual switch. It can end up being quite a challenge just keeping up-to-date.

Accelerate the Development of Cloud-native VNFs - Giles Heron & Maciek Konstantynowicz, Cisco
Cloud-native, containerized virtual network functions (VNFs) are among the hottest topics in the industry. In moving from “desiring a cloud-native VNF” to building one it has become clear that there is no appropriate platform to build on. Project “Ligato” (https://ligato.github.io/) has set out to change this. Ligato is an open source platform for creating cloud-native VNFs.

In this talk, we’ll provide the motivation and background for developing Ligato, describe its the architecture, and provide examples or real-world use cases.

Using Prometheus to Monitor a Telco Cloud at Scale - Aneesh Puttur, Red Hat, Inc.
This presentation shows that Prometheus can bridge the gap between the Telco NFV world and the container world, and is applicable for any platform that requires monitoring. The transition to containers in Telco is happening, but not fast enough.

The session will present a completed PoC where a Prometheus Operator was used to monitor an NFVI+VIM targeted for 1000 nodes. 

Data collection was provided by the OPNFV Barometer project's collectd container, data transport by AMQP1.0, and metric storage by Prometheus. System events and logs were stored into ElasticSearch. Alert Manager was used to send alerts via SNMP in response to metric conditions monitored by Prometheus.

A test framework that simulated 1000 nodes (200 metrics/node) were developed and was used to evaluate the performance of Prometheus for storage and alerting.

Network Reliability Engineering (NRE) and DevNetOps - James Kelly, Juniper Networks
If big changes begin inside-out and not have-do-be but be-do-have, then goals of automation require us to focus on our core being and behaviors instead of products, tools and programmability/APIs.

To engineer of network simplicity, it’s time to lose the title of network admin, operator or architect and embrace a new identity as a Network Reliability Engineer/NRE. Like sysadmins graduated from technicians to technologists as SREs, the NRE title stakes a new culture and zenith for engineering network invincibility. Like SREs describe their practices as DevOps, network reliability engineering embraces DevNetOps behaviors.

Through real-life examples, we examine the shift to an NRE culture and behaviors that embody the role: networks as code, testing, pipeline CI, microservice and immutable infrastructure, pipeline CD, chaos engineering, and continuous measurement and response.

Network Service Mesh: An Attempt to Reimagine NFV in a Cloud-Native Fashion - Kyle Mestery, Cisco & Frederick Kautz, Red Hat
In this talk, Kyle and Frederick will present Network Service Mesh, a new open source project built to enable cloud-native NFV and container network functions.

Network Service Mesh (NSM) is a new project being built to enable vendors and operators to envision and realize a cloud-native future for Network Function Virtualization, or NFV. With 5G on the horizon, moving network functions from virtual to container platforms will be critical to handling the massively increased traffic load. Network Service Mesh is a recent open source project, having begun development in the spring of 2018, and will integrate with Kubernetes to achieve its mission.

This talk will also show how Network Service Mesh can be combined with existing Open Source projects such as FD.io and OpenDaylight. Finally, we will discuss how audience members can get involved and help drive the direction and development of NSM.

Lightning Talk: Bringing User Space Networking to CNI - Billy McFall, Red Hat
Telco and NFV use-cases bring a whole new set of requirements to a deployment scenario. From higher port count and faster packet speeds to lower latency and zero packet loss. Many virtualized environments using virtual machines turned to user-space networking to address these tougher requirements. User-space networking moves the packet processing out of the Linux kernel and into user-space using open-source projects like DPDK.

Telco industries are now looking to move to a Cloud-Native based architecture and are placing the same set of requirements on the container world. Intel, Nokia and Red Hat have joined forces to create a POC for a User Space CNI plugin that will allow containers to be deployed with user-space based interfaces. Attempting to be implementation agnostic, our POC is designed to work with multiple DPDK based implementations (currently OVS-DPDK and VPP).

Edgility - Modelling and Orchestration in Edge Cloud Environments - Eden Rozin, AT&T
Edge computing is becoming the major component in 5G networks. While edge computing provides an u-low-latency solution, it brings with it other challenges. On one hand, edge clouds are small, and their computing resources are scarce. On the other hand, they are required to serve many applications, such as the 5G edge ecosystem, live video streaming and IoT. The edge gives the opportunity for vendors to deploy their own software. However, this needs to be done in an agile manner. With the proliferation of IoT devices and Autonomous cars of different brands, the industry cannot afford countless years and M$ integration projects. In this session, we will show how we meet these challenges using ONAP, Cloudify, Akraino and other open source projects. We will show a real use case of the full ML-driven life cycle management of applications running on an edge cloud using serverless technology.

Cloud Native, Scale and High Availability Models for VNF and CNF Deployments - Azhar Sayeed, Red Hat Inc.
What do we mean when we say Cloud Native applications? How does that apply to Virtual Network Functions and Container network functions? When we deploy VNFs and CNFs today, there is an expectation of resource bindings for optimal performance. How do these resource bindings affect true cloud native model? How can we deliver services with High Availability and what models are applicable?

These are some questions we will attempt to answer in this presentation. We will define cloud native models and provide some reference architectures to do better HA with VNFs and CNFs.

We will also discuss the impact of HA architectures with networking, service chaining, resource assignment and management and how well this model scales with increasing load.

Kubernetes Networking Made Easy with Open vSwitch and OpenFlow - Péter Megyesi, LeanNet ltd.
Kubernetes has become the de facto tool in container orchestration thus it will be the foundation of enterprise DevOps. However, recent surveys conducted by the Cloud Native Compute Foundation show that majority of the end users face challenges with networking during deploying Kubernetes.
This talk will have a short overview on the basics of Kubernetes networking: how does the Container Networking Interface work, how do the popular network plugins provide connectivity between PODs, and what is the role of Kube Proxy.
Then I will present how anyone can solve the Kubernetes networking problem solely relying on Open vSwitch and the OpenFlow protocol. Such solution has the benefit that it can be integrated into higher level SDN frameworks using ONOS, ODL or Tungsten, while it does not rely on any Linux kernel modules thus it is compatible with full line rate user-space networking with DPDK.

Service Mesh Networking with Containers and Microservices Applications - Brian Redmond, Microsoft
If you are building cloud native applications with microservices, you are undoubtedly seeing many benefits, but also many difficulties. This is particularly apparent with containers and distributed systems such as Kubernetes.

Along with service discovery and container networking, we also need to have solutions that assist with routing (for canary, A/B testing), failure handling, circuit breaking, observability and performance management, and network policy control.

The concept of a Service Mesh (eg - istio, conduit, linkerd) aides microservices development by adding an infrastructure layer that handles service-to-service communication via distributed proxies.

In this session, I will show to use Service Mesh solutions to easily add complex network routing, telemetry and reporting, TLS security, fault injection, and policy enforcement to microservices based applications.

The coordination between standard and opensource becomes more imperative when a generic network automation platform is to support multiple commercial use cases for global operators, as different SDOs and forum have specified different model for key artifacts such as service, resources, and operators might make their choices independently. ETSI NFV/OASIS TOSCA standard has been supported in vendor products. TMF API has been widely used and integrated with MEF interlude interface. And ONF TAPI has been integrated into MEF core and resource models. The remaining piece for service modeling is the key to end-to-end cross carrier, cross domain service provisioning and automation. And multicloud modeling for K8S, Azure, Vmware et. al. is the next target for resource modeling going forward.

5G, All in Container ? - Xuan Jia, China Mobile
How container is going in the standard organization ? Will container satisfy all the requirement for 5G ? In this session, i will answer both questions.

1. ETSI NFV & ETSI MEC is using OpenStack as the fundamental architecture. China Mobile and other telecoms are doing a lot of efforts on it. But now Container has been widely used in IT industry. It effects the standard organization. I will list the newest information about container in ETSI NFV, 3GPP, IMT-2020 , ONAP and so on. For example, the white paper of IMT-2020 shows that 5G will be deployed by container technology.
2. China Mobile is doing the PoC let 5G-C run in container. I will show it up in this session.
3. The topic about container is so popular, but container has its own problem to fulfill the requirement of 5G-C and 5G-RAN. I will show the requirement and give the conclusion.

Keynote: Accelerating the Pace of Innovation - Axel Clauberg, Vice President, Aggregation, Transport, IP (TI-ATI) & Infrastructure Cloud Architecture, Deutsche Telekom AG
The exponential Internet traffic growth is still one of the main challenges for the Telco industry. In the past, Moore’s Law has helped us to keep our production cost for the exponentially growing traffic under control. With Moore’s Law flattening out, we see a strong trend in the industry towards the disaggregation of hardware and software. From monolithic black-box solutions, we are moving towards a modular, best-in-class, flexible and open ecosystem, including an automated lifecycle management in true DevOps style. None of the Telcos can do this on their own – the success of this industry depends on collaboration. This presentation covers Deutsche Telekom’s strategy in Linux Foundation/Linux Foundation Networking Fund, ONF, TIP and other organizations to accelerate the pace of innovation for the telco industry.

Keynote: Blockchain and the Future of Networking - Dr. Catherine Mulligan, Visiting Research Fellow, Centre for Cryptocurrency Research and Engineering, Imperial College London
Blockchain is often touted as a transformational technology set to redefine how many businesses work today, but will it have any effect on the networking world?  This talk covers the role that blockchain will play within the networking industries from two perspectives – industry and research.  Firstly, it outlines the work I am leading at UCL called “DataNet” – a project that aims to create a global data infrastructure that does for data what the Internet did for communication.  Through developing a unified set of protocols that cover Identity, privacy, security, trust, sharing and permissioned access to data sets,  we are creating the “data rails” for the digital economy – unlocking the value of digtalisation for individuals, companies and governments.  Secondly, it discusses some nearer term projects that are being done in collaboration with network operators - illustrating the near-term impacts of blockchain that is challenging the established norms of how networks are built and operated.

Software Defined Networking for CDNs and Tier 2 Service Providers - Javier Ger, Cablevision / Telecom Argentina & John Zannos, Inocybe Technologies
The ongoing shift from hardware-based, dedicated network functionality to software-based networking built on virtualized infrastructure appears to be in full swing. Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), which play a critical role in the delivery of high-quality video (such as Netflix, YouTube), provide an excellent use case for deployment within these evolving frameworks.

Accommodating new technology and satisfying customer demand for video are only a subset of the larger benefits realized with SDN infrastructure. Among them:
• A more CapEx-friendly use and reuse of available server resources, in which the operator can leverage the same servers for CDN and/or other services and apps when and where needed
• Simplified provisioning, failure management, and other operational tasks, targeted at reducing OpEx
• Reduced time to market for new services enhances revenues and customer satisfaction

Improve Performance and Security for Containers Using Kuryr and Cilium - Rossella Sblendido & Michal Rostecki, SUSE
Containers are getting more traction every day in the NFV arena but there are still concerns about security and performance. In this talk we will describe how to overcome those problems combining the flexibility of SDN and the reliability and speed of the linux kernel. Cilium is on open source project which implements Kubernetes network policies and provides container network security by using eBPF and XDP packet filtering in the Linux kernel. Kuryr is the OpenStack project that enables native Neutron-based networking in Kubernetes. We will demonstrate how to deploy and configure a Kubernetes cluster using Cilium as CNI plugin and Kuryr to integrate it into OpenStack. Thanks to native packet filtering Cilium boosts performance, we will show tests results to measure how Cilium improves throughput compared to other CNI plugins.

5G Edge Cloud in a Lightpole - Tapio Tallgren, Nokia
The very high speeds of 5G networks require the use of very high radio frequences, which means that the radio signals do not go very far. This requires new thinking for the radio access network. Since the networks will be first built in city centers and they have artificial lighting, one idea is to put the 5G radios on light poles. The LuxTurrim5G project is implementing that. The name means "Light pole 5G" in Latin.

To make building the 5G network economical, the LuxTurrim5G light poles will not only provide lighting and network connectivity, but also be a platform for other services. In the Espoo, Finland test network, the light poles have video cameras and weather sensors, and it supports Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC). The platform uses containers for the applications.

The LuxTurrim5G project helped the City of Espoo win the "Most Innovative City" award in 2018.

Traffic Management and Visibility Infrastructure for Rapid Microservice Delivery - Eddie Arrage, Huawei
Application developers and network operators can deliver services more effectively by using traffic control and visibility tools available within service meshes. The mesh can steer traffic into cloud-native microservices with flexibility to provide a bridge between the network and applications. The lines become blurred allowing for seamless transition between debug and deployment phases.
Visibility hooks built into meshes can be leveraged to debug across boundaries. While there's a plethora of raw data, it can still be daunting to pinpoint issues.
The session will cover the work being done within OPNFV to link several CNCF projects and how visibility data can be correlated with network analysis to provide insights. A live demo of a specialized ingress controller and a unified visibility engine within an Istio mesh will highlight the benefits of these community integrations.

Workshop: Operator Edge Cloud Reference Design Workshop (CORD / ONF) - Timon Sloane, ONF & Oliviero Riganelli, University of Milano Bicocca
Operator leadership of the ONF have committed to using open source as they building out their access & edge clouds.  These operators are crafting open source Reference Designs (RDs), blueprints for what they plan to take to production. This workshop will provide details and updates from key operators. Topics covered in this workshop include:

- SEBA (SDN Enabled Broadband Access)
Edge cloud platform for PON networks

- UPAN (Unified Programmable Automated Network)
Next generation SDN reference design, leveraging P4 to enable flexible data plane programmability and network embedded VNF acceleration.

- M-CORD
Latest updates in open source RAN, ORAN and microservice advancements leveraging P4 for VNF acceleration

- CORD & Edge Cloud Orchestration
Advances in distributed orchestration and mobile workload migration.

The session also introduces the Next Generation PaaS. A Telco Provider enables a “PaaS”-oriented approach to Telco & Vertical Service Providers, which can onboard and administer VNFs and also leverage “Value-added Service” capabilities, which could be “Telco-grade” add-ons to basic service proposals (e.g. Monitoring/Problem Detection as a Service (PDaaS), Healing/Resilient VNFaaS).  In this way, a pre-existing “VNF Application Store” can be expanded by allowing Service Providers to on-board new VNFs via direct interactions with preferred vendors, resulting in a more diverse and richer set of capabilities than would be afforded with the “Traditional” (pre-NGPaaS) business model. 2 demos will be presented based on OpenCORD, v4.1 (R-CORD), using NGPaaS methodology (Reusable Functional Blocks, RDCL3D). The session will be closed by presenting steps in the pipeline for enhancement of the prototype.

An Event-Driven Framework for The Resilience Of Network Services - Xinhui Li & Bin Sun, VMware
NFV deployment is a hierarchical stack where a unified Orchestrator takes the responsibility of closed-loop automation for the resilience of network services. The closed-loop should be event driven for both efficiency and accuracy. The closed-loop is triggered by some symptom coming from given alert or metrics thresholds. Once triggered, a predefined policy is used to connect the symptom with proper recover operations which is a status machine relying on events too. So, the design of event driven framework becomes the key for Orchestrator and a challenge too. The NFV stack is across different layers from the Orchestrator to various VIM Infrastructures involving complex monitor/message systems and event sources. We will share an innovated framework which federates the events/alerts/metrics across different layers and sources with a demo of closed-loop automation by typical NFV use cases.

Creating Synergies - Sharing and Reusing Results of CI/CD System Between Communities - Yolanda Robla Mota, Red Hat & Fatih Degirmenci, Ericsson
SDN, NFV, Cloud Native and Management & Orchestration technologies are enablers of the next generation telecom networks. These technologies are developed by multiple open source communities such as CNCF, OpenStack, ONAP and OpenDaylight and changes to any of them require adaptations in others. This is a challenge many developers working in different communities face on a daily basis.

In order to develop new features faster, find and fix bugs earlier and introduce new products and services as often as possible, it is important to ensure that the changes made to any of these components are verified against each other and the applications made available to anyone who needs them for further integration and testing.

This session will talk about integrating CI/CD Systems using events, bringing agility and GitOps to the development of new networking and cloud native technologies.

The Barometer with Telecom Operator, New Perspective for Monitoring - Yuki Kasuya, KDDI & Toshiaki Takahashi, NEC Communication Systems, Ltd.
Infrastructure monitoring is very important for high availability of services in NFV. The OPNFV Barometer project concentrates on NFV's metric monitoring requirements. The Barometer project provides a data collection container, which supports various metrics with collectd, open source metrics collector. Meanwhile, telecom operators have additional requirements for fault management (FM). FM requires scalability of collecting and analyzing metrics along with predictive error analysis.
For the above requirements, Japanese telecom operators and vendors started the project called DMA (distributed monitoring and analysis) and began collaborating with Barometer.
We come up with the manager for the metric collector, local-agent interworking with barometer collectd, as a result of the collaboration.
In this presentation, we will share the above experiments and use-cases.

High Performance Cloud Native Networking: K8s Unleashing FD.io - Maciek Konstantynowicz & Giles Heron, Cisco
The high-performance software data plane provided by FD.io VPP makes application and host networking fast and very efficient. Kubernetes makes container workloads easy to manage, operate and network, all at massive scale. It is rational to integrate the two, to see how the best of both worlds perform together and how they can drive high performance communication in scaled-out and scaled-up cloud-native micro-services deployments.

This talk will detail how FD.io VPP is on a path to realise the vision of terabit networking on COTS servers, and how it integrates into the K8s (eco-)system through the Ligato, Network Service Mesh, and Contiv-VPP open-source projects. It will refer to open-source benchmarking data for checks against reality and against the laws of physics.

Simplify Distributed Rate-Limiting in Overlay Cloud Network with FDRL - Stephen Xu, Alibaba Cloud
For the public cloud high availability and elastic network capacity, gateway cluster with multiple instances deployment is the typical solution. Performing both load balancing and rate-limiting in multi-tenant overlay cloud network is so important, but it is also complex and difficult to implement. Normally, using static rate-limits at each gateway is not flexible and hard to elastic; another option may deploy dynamic rate-limits adjusted by a centralized controller, but it is so complex and hard to adjust the BW in real time and accurately. FDRL is a new lightweight design to implement in Alibaba cloud network. It relies on flowlets usage in overlay network, which is independent from underlay hardware network. This session will introduce FDRL, and explain the technology details based on Alibaba cloud network and outline the reference implementation in FD.io/VPP using an example demos.

Workshop Cont'd: Operator Edge Cloud Reference Design Workshop (CORD / ONF) - Timon Sloane, ONF & Oliviero Riganelli, University of Milano Bicocca
Operator leadership of the ONF have committed to using open source as they building out their access & edge clouds.  These operators are crafting open source Reference Designs (RDs), blueprints for what they plan to take to production. This workshop will provide details and updates from key operators. Topics covered in this workshop include:

- SEBA (SDN Enabled Broadband Access)
Edge cloud platform for PON networks

- UPAN (Unified Programmable Automated Network)
Next generation SDN reference design, leveraging P4 to enable flexible data plane programmability and network embedded VNF acceleration.

- M-CORD
Latest updates in open source RAN, ORAN and microservice advancements leveraging P4 for VNF acceleration

- CORD & Edge Cloud Orchestration
Advances in distributed orchestration and mobile workload migration.

The session also introduces the Next Generation PaaS. A Telco Provider enables a “PaaS”-oriented approach to Telco & Vertical Service Providers, which can onboard and administer VNFs and also leverage “Value-added Service” capabilities, which could be “Telco-grade” add-ons to basic service proposals (e.g. Monitoring/Problem Detection as a Service (PDaaS), Healing/Resilient VNFaaS).  In this way, a pre-existing “VNF Application Store” can be expanded by allowing Service Providers to on-board new VNFs via direct interactions with preferred vendors, resulting in a more diverse and richer set of capabilities than would be afforded with the “Traditional” (pre-NGPaaS) business model. 2 demos will be presented based on OpenCORD, v4.1 (R-CORD), using NGPaaS methodology (Reusable Functional Blocks, RDCL3D). The session will be closed by presenting steps in the pipeline for enhancement of the prototype.

Tutorial: P4 and P4Runtime Technical Introduction and Use Cases for Service Providers - Carmelo Cascone, Open Networking Foundation
P4 has gained industry momentum in the last year. New language features allow describing more forwarding devices, not only programmable ones but also fixed-function conventional ones. P4Runtime was introduced and quickly affirmed itself as the next-gen SDN open control plane API, capable of delivering switch silicon independence for cloud operators and service providers. In this tutorial, we provide a technical overview of P4 and the soon-to-be-released P4Runtime v1.0 specification. We also describe how P4 and P4Runtime are supported in ONOS, and the use cases they enable for service providers, including a switch silicon-independent NFV-enabled leaf-spine fabric for edge and access services, and the possibility to offload VNFs from the servers to the switches, such as the mobile 5G user plane and the BNG for residential access, maximizing performance, and with significant cost benefits.

Lightning Talk: InSpec on Network Devices: Extending Open-Source Compliance to the Network Admin - Julian Dunn, Chef Software Inc.
Configuration and verification of network devices is one of the last areas that automation has not yet made significant inroads. Gartner estimates that fewer than 10% of organizations today use any sort of pervasive network automation tool. We believe there is a huge opportunity for new approaches here, starting with taking a devops approach to security of network devices – firewalls, switches, routers, and so on.

In this talk, we will introduce the open-source InSpec language and show how it can be used to validate network configurations, such as those defined on Cisco IOS devices as well as software-defined network configurations in the AWS, Azure and Google clouds. We’ll show how this language allows for highly-customizable yet readable network compliance policy that can be shared between network engineers, software developers and system administrators. Expect live demos.

Disaggregating the Control Plane - David Bainbridge, Ciena
While the industry has come to a consensus around disaggregating the data plane, the control plane remains monolithic and proprietary, manifested by control plane applications written for a specific controller, in a prescribed language, and running in the controller process space; exposing serious deployment drawbacks.

David will describe a mechanism to intercept communication between OpenFlow devices and the SDN controller and how this technology can be used to disaggregate the control plane, allowing SDN applications to be implemented as separate components, independent of the SDN controller.

After describing and demonstrating the technology, David will expand on how the existing implementation might be carried forward to provide a disgregated control plane, including disaggregating capabilities such as intents, device connectivity, flow synchronization, monitoring, and storage.

End-to-End Service Chains in a Multi-Cloud Environment - Larry Peterson, Open Networking Foundation
The overwhelming driver for the edge cloud is applications that benefit from low-latency response time, especially in support of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Immersive UIs. But extending the cloud out from centralized datacenters to edge sites introduces two technical challenges. One is to construct service meshes that cross organizational boundaries. For example, the edge might in an enterprise (on-premises) or a Telco Central Office, while the datacenter often implies a commodity cloud. The second is to construct fine-grain service chains across this mesh on behalf of individual users, or possibly even individual flows. This talk addresses the combination of these two challenges -- how to construct fine-grain, end-to-end service chains in a multi-cloud environment -- and presents our work prototyping a solution based on a combination of CORD and the Google Cloud Platform.

The diversity of test framework across the different LFN project may be puzzling for end users. In fact it takes time to dive into each ecosystem. A certification program (Dovetail) has been initiated in OPNFV and recently extended to ONAP.

The goal of this session is to make an overview of the current initiatives in term of test framework and certification programs and share Orange's view and concerns. The trustability of open source solutions is key for the adoptions, certification is probably one of the good way to build such trust even if it is clearly not trivial.

Lightning Talk: Virtualized Network Functions for Aggregated Traffic Control in Video Content Delivery Networks - Kaliappa Ravindran, City University of New York
Mobile devices download video clips by sharing the network path from a cloud-hosted ingress node of video content delivery networks (CDN). Virtualized network functions (VNF) realize AIMD-based video rate control algorithm to handle congestion along the path. AIMD is exercised on the aggregated data flows at a source ingress node based on the ’loss reports’ signaled from the receiver egress node. An aggregated control reduces the signaling overhead, relative to the existing methods that anchor an AIMD instance on each user device itself (e.g., DASH). Besides scalability, it also improves the user-perceived quality: low rate jitter and isolation against device faults. We offload aggregated AIMD-based control to the in-network overlay nodes serving as VNFs for video content caching & rendering. The ’last-mile’ bandwidth control is done by fine-granular video encoders in the devices.

Transformation of CSPs to Access and Service Agnostic Platformers using NFV, SDN, CUPS, MEC, and Network Slicing – Faiz Alam, Liberty Global
Content and IoT deliveries by FANG has changed the competition landscape, and with eSIM/vCPE, the subscriber ownership will change as well. In order to grow further CSPs need to transform themselves from being just a Connection Provider to a Platformer, offering any service, over any access type, using one of the network slices, accessible from any device, and from any location - fixed or mobile.

This presentation builds the concept of Platformers from the last 03 industrial revolutions to the past 03 decades, and connects the dots from five technologies (NFV, SDN, CUPS, MEC, and Network Slicing) and five standards (ETSI, IETF, IEEE, LFN, and OCP), to deliver five services (eMBB, mMTC, uRLLC, IaaS and HD Voice) in an animated slide.

The rising wave of network APIs and data models have changed the way we consume networking operating systems. For this reason, Telecom companies such as Cisco, Juniper, and Arista are already taking advantage of gRPC, a project hosted by the CNCF, one of the Linux Foundation’s largest sub-foundations, to stream telemetry data and configure networking devices.

gRPC is a modern open source high performance RPC framework that can run in any environment, which allows users to program network elements via a single interface/connection. In this session we will demonstrate how to achieve this, in order to generate a closed-loop system that validates the intent of network configurations. All this, using OpenConfig vendor-neutral YANG data models.

7 Fully Functional Demos for Open Source Mano Orchestrator - Vanessa Little, VMware
Are all of these Open Source Orchestration projects nothing more than an academic exercise to see if we can write one as a community, or are they actually going to be deployed in production as a carrier grade solution?  

This session walks through 7 demos that use Open Source Mano in real world use cases that cover everything from Active Service Assurance, Interoperability with OPNFV and Openairinterface to video transcoding in MEC architectures.  

You be the judge as you join us as we walk through real working use cases with Open Source Mano and see it in action.
