Abstract

SD-WAN is the 

Companies are currently investing billions into 5G technologies all around the world, yet there are presently few use cases for how to utilise 5G to create new services and ultimately generate revenue to account for this large initial investment. The proposal of SD-WAN over 5G provides a plausible new service using 5G that can produce revenue to justify business investment, SD-WAN connects...provides seamless connectivity for multi-cloud environments, 

It connects enterprise networks – including branch offices and data centers – over large geographic distances.

SD-WAN provides seamless connectivity for multicloud multi-cloud environments

Rationale

The business objective of 5G program is to create new services & generate revenue for 5G / 5G Automation through demonstration of below use-cases. SD-WAN is a proposal use case for how we can utilise 5G for creating new services. 

...

It is common for proposals to not acquire adequate support from the ONAP End User Advisory (EUA) committee due to insufficient developers associated with proposals to handle the technical functional impacts, and explicitly demonstrate the impacts the a proposal will have within the ONAP code. To address this potential and common issue, for this proposal we have employed our own set of developers to thoroughly assess the technical functional impacts that the SD-WAN over 5G will have within the ONAP code. 

Proposal

• SD-WAN will use 5GICE middleware for underlay.
• SD-WAN will be provisioned as hub-spoke topology.
• 5GICE will provide TMF based Service Order APIs to provision underlay.
• Demo setup will include WAN links and LAN link for hub and spoke.
