February 10, 2014
San Jose, CA USA
The OIF hosted a half-day workshop, open to the public, on Monday, February 10th, adjacent to its Q114 Technical Meeting. As SDN moves along the curve from curiosity to hype to reality, Carriers and their vendors need to be able to cut through the hype and identify what is needed to make Transport SDN a desirable and deployable technology. The workshop presented views across the industry of what the enabling technologies and standards will be, including practical use cases and applications for Transport SDN. Carriers and vendors presented their views on Transport SDN and participate in panel discussions with other industry experts.
