Abstract :
Operators are challenged by the new cloud services, which can modify current traffic pattern. This talk presents the Telefonica I+D view on the evolution towards a transport network ready to support cloud services. It explains the reasons why current transport networks are not efficiently design for a cloud environment and it describes the architecture for a cloud-ready network. To show the feasibility of such cloud-ready network, experimental validations are presented to show the concepts of a cloud-ready transport network.
