Abstract
Telco providers have a history of reliable services with only littlechange. But a transformation has taken place during the last decade: Mobileaccess networks (3,4,5G) have emerged, and reliable and flexible networks areneeded for the resource demand of a changing Internet service ecosystem.Deutsche Telekom sees SDN, NFV, white-box switching hardware – as well as DevOpsand container-based control planes – as enablers to reach higher agility, lowertime-to-market and reduced costs. This lecture will give an insight into howDeutsche Telekom envisions to apply these new technologies in their operationsnetwork, and will describe and explainthe underlying technologies.
