Abstract :
This paper introduces the over-arching concept of broadband virtualization. Standards in the arena of broadband virtualization are discussed, with an emphasis on new SDN and NFV projects in the IEEE and in the Broadband Forum. Tantalizing new prospects in this area are described in some detail: multi-tenant broadband control and management, utilizing multiple connections for broadband as a service (BaaS), traffic splitting, and the virtualized consumer environment.
