N.R. Figueira, Ramki Krishnan · 2015 International Conference on Computing, Networking and Communications (ICNC) · 2015
This paper proposes a hierarchical Software-Defined Networking (SDN) Multi-Domain Orchestration and Control architectural framework to address complex multi-tier governance domain deployments by Carriers, Service Providers (SP), Cloud Service Providers (CSP), large Enterprises, and Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Infrastructure/Platform as a Service (NFVIaaS/NFVPaaS) providers. The proposed framework allows for simpler networking control and orchestration, more agile development processes, accelerated pace of innovation, and increased speed of deployment, while improving scalability and configuration automation as compared to existing frameworks.
