• Nature of OpenLSO:– A MEF-facilitated open service orchestration ecosystem– Collaboration environment for MEF member companies to maximize
the alignment of market implementations of LSO– Both Open Source and proprietary components using MEF-defined LSO
specifications to foster best-of-breed solutions
• Objectives– Simplify and accelerate adoption of LSO specs for orchestration of
Third Network services– Iterative work towards APIs that are standardized and open– Maximize alignment of LSO specifications and Open Source code for
consistency with LSO use cases and capabilities– Low-risk experience, rapid feedback, agile development

OpenLSO Capabilities – Analytics and Assurance Projects
• Reference implementation of LSO Analytics using the PNDA.io analytics platform
• To demonstrate analytics as part of Third Network services user stories
• Feed requirements into specifications work in MEF
• Supports other LSO capabilities such as LSO Assurance and LSO Performance
• Aims to demonstrate examples of these inter-relationships via the LSO sub-architecture

• Nature of OpenCS
– OpenCS is a MEF-facilitated ecosystem that provides reference implementations of MEF-defined connectivity services (e.g. E-Line)
– Uses combinations of open source and proprietary components and CE 2.0-certified network devices
• Objective
– Simplify and accelerate adoption of MEF specs to develop Third Network services based on any infrastructure
• Any combination of SDN controllers, NFV infrastructure, VNFs, white boxes and traditional PNFs

OpenCS – SD-WAN Use Case
• The OpenCS SD-WAN project is creating for service providers reference SD-WAN implementations that can be service orchestrated by LSO (MEF-defined Lifecycle Service Orchestration) and integrated into multi-operator agile, assured and orchestrated end to end L2 and L3 services.

• LSO Hackathons:
– Accelerate the development of comprehensive OpenLSO and OpenCS instances as part of the MEF's Open Initiatives
– Provide feedback to ongoing MEF projects in support of the MEF's Agile Standards Development approach to MEF specification development
– Facilitate discussion, collaboration, and the development of ideas, sample code, and solutions
– Encourage interdepartmental collaboration and communications within MEF member companies
– Held several times a year
– Offer both learning & commercial value

The network state from the layers of
the LSO stack provides the context
required for the analytics
applications to provide meaningful
insight
The output from the analytics applications combines with policy to influence network behavior by optimizing the deployed services through feedback to the LSO orchestration and control functions
Enabling LSO to realize the vision of reactive networking
