This document discusses building a healthy open networking ecosystem through collaboration between communities, users, and vendors. It summarizes the challenges in harmonizing open source projects, the need for users to bring real use cases and commitment to production, and how vendors can deliver quality products and end-to-end solutions. A case study of China Unicom's DCI project is provided as an example of leveraging SDN controllers and common interfaces to automate service provisioning across multi-vendor networks.

Business is Based on Healthy Ecosystem
The Challenge of Healthy Open
Networking Ecosystem is to Get
Community & User & Vendor
Working Together!
• Community
ü Working On Common
Framework & Interface
• User
ü Bring Real Use Cases
ü Committed to realization
• Vendor
ü Product Quality & Solution

Harmonizing Open Source to Build Common
Framework/Interface/Blocks
• Great Accomplishment
ü Have Open Source Projects in Each Layer and Each
Domain in JUST a Few Years!
• Challenges
ü Too Many Similar Projects in Each Domain with
Overlaps
ü No End to End Model Driven Framework with closed
loop
• Going Forward
ü OPNFV Intended to Provide Integration
ü Open-O and OpenECOMP Merged into ONAP
ü ONAP provides End to End Framework with Closed
Loop Functions.
ü DPDK/ODP Convergence
• We Look Forward for More Consolidation
and Collaboration in Open Source

Operators Bring Real Use Cases to Community
Which They Are Committed in Realizing
• Need Users Who are Committed in
Using the Open Source Production
– so Bring Real Use Cases
• Focus on E2E Solution Framework
rather than Technologies
• Move to Field Trial or Production
with Operation Team
• $ Talks!, Bring Values to Business.

• Business Motivation
ü Bring L3VPN-on-demand service to DC interconnection market,
• Project Scope
ü Reusing existing multi-vendor national MPLS network and OSS/BSS
system
ü Bring Dual-vendor SDN controller and 3rd VPN APP into the
environment to bring service automation.
• Common Interface
ü Restconf as controller NBI
ü Netconf/BGP-LS as SBI
ü Common service modelling : IETF-L3VPN-SVC
• Vender Specific
ü SBI device modelling
• Key Technologies for Success
ü Dynamic Model-driven Configuration
