MISSION IMPOSSIBLE?

Customer Wants:● L3VPN with specific E2E speed, QoS, and security

● E.g. 2GB symmetrical guaranteed BW

● Ten minutes from order time to turn-up

● For a two hour design review

● Doesn’t want to pay very much

MONTHS AND

NOT MINUTES?

WE ARRIVED AT

THE CURRENT

SITUATION WE

FIRST NEED TO

GO BACK IN TIME

CIRCA 1966

● Single service: Voice

● Global automated connectivity in minutes

● Based on carrier cooperation

THEN AGENTS OF

CHANGE HAPPENED Computer communications

WHICH CREATED AMONG OTHER THINGS …

Multiple overlapping global networks to serve

multi-national enterprises

ECI Proprietary 12

SITUATION UNTIL

RECENTLY No unified service definitions

Each provider adopted his own

definitions of services

Created international walled

gardens and made huge profits for

OSS/BSS providers

High speed service take ages

to fulfil

Eons if crosses several providers

As long as there was money

rolling in, nobody cared

ECI Proprietary

AND THEN EVEN

MORE CHANGE

HAPPENED

High Speed Internet

Cloud Service

RESULTING IN …

Global service providers

competing with themselves:

International “closed garden”

networks

versus

“Good enough”

Internet-based solutions

THE ALTERNATIVE

Customer Wants:

● L3VPN with specific E2E speed, QoS, and security

●2GB Service

● Ten minutes from order time to turn-up

● For a two hour design review

● Doesn’t want to pay very much

YOU CAN’T ALWAYS

GET WHAT YOU

WANT

16

Economics dictates that

customers will figure out a

way to make an inexpensive,

“good enough” service work

ECI Proprietary

BUT WHAT IF THERE

WAS ANOTHER WAY?

17

Full Speed/QoS/Security

expectations

Value-added private

network services

WITH:

Fast turn-up limited time

services

Price competitive with an

Internet solution

ECI Proprietary

IT’S THE

INTEROPERABILITY

STUPID SDN and NFV moved the

industry forward in terms of

creating unification and vendor

agnostic networking

However the elephant in the

room is the lack of carrier

agnostic services

For carriers to provide a

dynamic network they need

unified automated carrier-to-

carrier connectivity

18

ECI Proprietary

WHAT IS REQUIRED

19

Mindset change:

Service Provider cooperating

instead of self-cannibalizing

Technically:

Network slice service

definitions

LSO for fast E2E network

slice implementations
