Understanding ONF s Curated Portfolio of Projects Timon Sloane, VP, Marketing & Ecosystem
ONF s Far Reaching Mission ONF Operators have tasked our community with a massive undertaking Transformation of Technology Creation of Platforms Transformation of Ecosystem Disaggregation SDN Virtualization Cloudification White box Open source New supply chain ready to deliver on this mission 2
Can Open Source Pursue Such An Agenda? Over 7 years, we have learned Incumbents have trouble pursuing such a disruptive agenda Miscellany of open source pieces are too hard for operators to assemble and consume on their own Incumbents (to date) only package them into proprietary solutions Disruptive agenda requires committed focus We Need a Special Model 3
Consensus Model 1. Build broad community first 2. Find consensus A New Open Source Model NEW Operator Led Curated Open Source 11. Identify disruptive end-goal Backed by multiple operators 3. Build common pieces that different participants can all use Incumbents have expertise, hence Incumbents play a majority role 4. Lends itself to infrastructure plays NFVI 22. Partners fund seed creation of technology Requires dedicated engineering team of experts 33. Attract a small handful of supplier partners 44. Ultimately - Critical mass will attract broad community 4 ONF is executing this 4 step plan
Step 1: 1 Operators Come Together with Common Disruptive End Goal 5
March 2018, Operators Expanded ONF Direction Eight Tier-1 Operator Committed to: Create Curated Open Source Model Operator build consensus on exemplar platforms using selected components Operators to jointly create common Reference Designs for access/edge Gold Standards for what s to be deployed in production networks Operators committing resources from Architecture, Design & Ops teams Operators to craft RFPs based on these designs Form Keiretsu ecosystem of operators and aligned supply chain partners Operators committed to reconstitute a new supply chain Aligned with leveraging open source & white box for production deployments 6
Partners Craft RDs + Supply Chain Partners Plan & Path to Deployment Reference Designs Reference Designs become gold standards for basis of RFPs RFP Exemplar Platforms Solutions Trials Deployments Open Source Components

SEBA: Software Enabled Broadband Access Trellis: A Leaf-Spine Fabric 3. UPAN: Unified Programmable Autonomous Network 4. ODTN: Open Disaggregated Transport Network
Reference Designs Drive Procurement via Phased Development Partners Create RDs ONF Member Participation Operator Procurement Operators join together by mutual commitment to deploy a Common RD + Aligned supplier partners participate in RD creation Reference Design Creation General ONF Membership asked to review and comment on RDs Membership shares in RAND-Z licensing Draft Reference Design RDs become public. Operators refer to and procure based on Reference Designs Final Reference Design Plus additional operators
Active Operators* Reference Designs SEBA SDN Enabled Broadband Access Trellis NFV Fabric SDN Spine Leaf Fabric Reference Designs Trailblazing Projects & Emerging Reference Designs M-CORD vran & 5G Mobile CORD Access & Edge Cloud UPAN Unified Programmable Automated Network ODTN Open Disaggregated Transport Network * These are the operators truly investing. Broader sets of operators are modestly investing & publicly support the work
