The European Advanced Networking Test Center and Upperside Conferences invited interested vendors to our public multi-vendor interoperability test and showcase at the MPLS + SDN + NFV World Congress 2017.

Core topics for the current edition were:

Real-world progress is being made towards the wide-scale deployment of vCPE-based services as communications service providers (CSPs) overcome some of the hurdles encountered during recent years. This report provides current market outlook for network functions virtualization (NFV) and its most prominent use case, the virtualized customer premises equipment (vCPE).

The virtual CPE is a prime candidate for initial commercial deployment of NFV, especially in business services.

This paper presents vCPE implementation options available for service providers. It also reviews the various factors that should be considered to avoid pitfalls and ensure optimal bandwidth efficiency, security, survivability, performance, diagnostics, and QoE.

What you will learn:

At MEF 2017, RAD’s CTO, Dr. Yaakov Stein shared technology innovation perspectives, specifically, QoS for rich communications services.

As an early industry virtualization evangelist, RAD established and maintained a dialog with carriers and service providers on the subject of vCPE design and functionalities at the customer edge.

In this presentation, RAD’s CTO, Dr. Yaakov Stein compares and contrasts the management of physical equipment with the orchestration of virtualized entities. Architecture, implementation, and operational aspects are discussed, zooming in on recent market experience with vCPE solutions.

At MPLS+SDN+NFV World 2016, RAD’s CTO, Dr. Yaakov Stein presented vCPE architectural options and compared implementation options based on suitability and performance for various use cases.

A review of the various vCPE implementation options available for service providers and the factors that should be considered to avoid pitfalls and ensure optimal results.

What you'll learn:

• Why vCPE is the #1 NFV use case
• Market drivers for implementing vCPE
