Abstract
Telco providers have a history of reliable services with only little change. This has changed during the last decade: Mobile access networks (3,4,5G) have emerged, and reliable and flexible networks are needed for the resource demand of a changing Internet service ecosystem. Deutsche Telekom sees SDN, NFV and white-box switching hardware as enablers to reach higher agility, lower time-to-market and reduced costs. This lecture will give an insight into how Deutsche Telekom envisions to apply these new technologies in their operations network, and will describe and explain the underlying SDN and NFV foundations.
Bio Leonhard Nobach
Leonhard Nobach is a software engineer at Deutsche Telekom, Access 4.0, where he is responsible for the DevOps cloud infrastructure and the continuous integration and delivery of the project's collaboratively-developed code. Before he joined Deutsche Telekom, Leo worked as a Ph.D. student at the Multimedia Communications Lab, TU Darmstadt, where his major research topics have been in the area of virtualization performance, data plane and packet switching hardware and software, NFV hardware acceleration, and software-defined networks. During his work as a Ph.D. student, Leo also worked as an intern at Nokia Bell Labs in Stuttgart. Leo received a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering and information technology in 2018, and holds a master's degree in computer science, both from TU Darmstadt. He also has certified industry experience as a network engineer, and is active in the open-source software community.
Bio Fabian Schneider
Fabian Schneider is responsible for the SDN Control & E2E System Development in the Access 4.0 Program at Deutsche Telekom. He has been active since the beginning in the research and standards community around software-defined networks where he fostered the advancements of SDN, OpenFlow, higher-level network control abstractions and disaggregation in networks.
Prior to joining Deutsche Telekom in Aug 2018, Fabian spent 18 years researching, standardizing, administrating and designing computer networks, focusing mainly on software-defined networking, network measurement and monitoring. As part of his scientific career, Fabian worked at NEC Laboratories Europe as a Senior Researcher and as research engineer/postdoc at UPMC, in Paris, France. Fabian holds a Ph.D. in computer science from TU Berlin, Germany and a Diplom from TU München, Germany.
