- 11. Copyright Comarch 2015 Network as distributed Cloud: Gi-LAN vs. MEC Benefits • Services are deployed „in the network” not on MEC or in Gi-LAN • Dynamic, policy-driven decision to allocate resources either at: • Edge, close-edge, core, (Gi-LAN) • Dynamic MEC Service capabilities creation – no „hardcoding” • MEC capabilities creation is to be perceived as NFV functions instantiation at the edge • Ability to de-allocate MEC from overloaded „edge” • Offloading „edge” for applications less sensitive for „network latency” • „Edge” can be dynamically re-allocated to „aggregation” (close edge) • These dynamic decision are taken based on „virtualized” real-time OSS Better customer experience at lower costs

- 14. Copyright Comarch 2015 How to implement services? NFV-centric approach: Firewall example • Firewall as VNF hosted by NFVI • SDN forwards packets to/from Internet via port with an accessible vFirewall • The ‚main’ functionality is implemented in vFirewall SDN approach: CPE Router example • vCPE implementation split into: Control plane: vCPE_CP SDN controller applications • Manages Flow entries of OFP Switches leveraging Network Topology from OSS Network Inventory Data Plane – flow entries at OFP Switch at customer premises – move closer to the customer • Simple packet forwarding based on packet header • Controlled by vCPE_CP • The ‚main’ functionality is implemented by controller applications affecting the traffic flow

- 24. SDN / NFV QUIZ
- 25. Copyright Comarch 2015 1. What is a driver for Mobile Edge Computing? a) There is a need for low-latency, high-bandwidth applications b) It is cheaper to deploy applications in the edge then in a datacenter c) There is a need for decentralizing the computing to provide high-availability applications
- 26. Copyright Comarch 2015 2. What is Openflow? a) An algorithm to perform network routing optimization b) A platform architecture designed to manage an SDN network c) A standardized protocol used to configure SDN routers
- 27. Copyright Comarch 2015 3. What is the role of OSS systems in SDN / NFV environment a) An SDN / NFV environment does not need OSS functions b) OSS systems need to support legacy infrastructure and network c) OSS systems can be used to manage both the physical and virtual network resources
