Enterprise Business Services Evolution

Page 3: Empowering New Services with Cisco SDN/NFV and ESP portfolio · 2G 3G Small Cell Gateways OSS/BSS Subsystems and Network Control User plane Core Network Voice/IMSeWAG HFC SGW PGW

As Enterprises Move to Cloud, They Demand Same Networking Services from the Cloud as In Their DC

• A few non-mission

critical applications

in the public cloud

• Low complexity

• Enterprises want

lowest cost for

compute and store

Amazon with lots of server scale has advantage

Before 2012: Enterprises want low cost

compute and storage from the cloud

Less than 0.5%

Workload in Cloud

Implications:

Now: Enterprises want

networking services from their cloud

• More of the

enterprise apps are in

the cloud

• Mission-critical apps

in the cloud

• Complexity; security;

scaling

• Enterprises want to

extend their network

to the cloud provider

More than 3%

Workload in Cloud

Implications:

Service providers with network have the advantage

Managed CPE Architecture Evolutions – Drivers & Motives

Major drives – Virtualization, Programmability, SDN and Service Orchestration

Customer motives that we are hearing behind considering this architecture

Reduction of truck rolls

Automated Provisioning

Better manageability of the customer premises equipment

Agile and on-demand service delivery

Ability to cross-sell and upsell more value added services on-demand

Consumption based pricing model

Reduce Total Cost of ownership (OPEX and CAPEX)

Faster time to revenue

Cloud based service delivery model

It is one of the initial NFV use case for some SP’s

Page 29: Empowering New Services with Cisco SDN/NFV and ESP portfolio · 2G 3G Small Cell Gateways OSS/BSS Subsystems and Network Control User plane Core Network Voice/IMSeWAG HFC SGW PGW

NIDs Requirement For Adoption Of vCPE Application • To be inline with architecture changes for Virtualized CPE deployment

Layer 2 only access network to customer

Layer 2 NID is positioned as demarcation device and the only device installed at customer premises

• Access network options:

Metro BAU - Ethernet

HSBB - Ethernet

Ethernet in the First Mile – G.SHDSL (Ethernet)

Wireless (3G, LTE)

• Other requirements

Multi-queue SLG support – Layer 3 to Layer 2 (802.1p) Ethernet Priority marking

Wireless backup – Layer 3 technology

Ethernet Service Activation capability

vCPE – Implementation Where it is located

SP’s POP

1. Co-located with PE

2. Most common vCPE model

3. One vCPE per one or

multiple customers

4. L2 / L3 traffic backhauled

from customer premise

SP Central DC

1. At central DC

2. May not be common model

3. One vCPE per one or

multiple customers

4. L2 / L3 traffic backhauled

from customer premise

On Customer Premises

1. On-premises vCPE

Running on x86 server

2. Helps retain most attributes

of present architecture

3. More scalable from

performance perspective,

but difficult to manage

No where!

1. Its not about vCPE its

about solving customers

business problem

2. Example – Maraki + DSC,

ISR-G2 + DSC models

Customer Premise

vCPE : IP Addressing & Routing Consideration • IP Address assignment for hosts done by vCPE

• vCPE has to redirect DHCP requests to the DHCP server

• Could be offered out of the vCPE using integrated DHCP Server

• Optional: customer operates a Router (with optional customer configured NAT)

• Traffic destined for the VPN tunneled to the CSR1000v, where it is routed to the destination (back to the customer premise for inter-subnet traffic)

Customer Premise

vCPE : QoS Consideration • CPE-lite or NID: L2-Cos for traffic coming from the hosts into the L2 tunnel

• Marking / re-marking of IEEE 802.1q bits according to the Metro Ethernet COS scheme

• TM have to re-mark the MPLS EXP bits at the EPE for MPLS Pw Upstream transport

• vCPE : downstream L3 QoS, either for core-facing traffic or for traffic returning to the customer premise

vCPE: Security Consideration • Securing CPE-lite – L2 Security

• Deploying limited physical ports,

• Port security: Limiting MAC address tables / timers

• BPDU Guard

• L2 ACLs

• ARP inspection

Tail-f NSO

• Service-aware

• Network-wide

• Juniper style

• Cisco XR style

• Powertool

• Helps keep the current domain experts

• Rich editing with tab-completion for commands, static elements and dynamic instances

• History, hints, help

• Extensible with custom/external commands, wizards

NSO REST • Relies on verbs of transport layer:

• HTTP 1.1

• GET : get resources

• PUT : replace existing resource

• POST : create resource

• DELETE : delete resource

• PATCH (RFC5789) : modify existing resource

• HEAD, OPTIONS

• Stateless, client-server

• Hyperlinked, just like the web

• XML or JSON as data containers

• Links to available data-stores and operations

Case Study: VPN Provisioning Business Challenge:

Fast delivery of various types of VPNs (L2 and L3) and Carrier Ethernet 2.0 services for traffic separation in a dynamic, programmatic way.

Business Outcomes with NSO:

• Automated provisioning of complex VPNs spanning 50,000+ devices from multiple vendors using network-wide, transaction-safe features

• Juniper MX series core routers

• Cisco for PE

• Overture, Adtran and ADVA for CE

• Support for provisioning, updating and removing VPNs using minimal diffs

• Drastically reduced TTM

• API integration with customer self-service portal, OSS, and analytics systems

Application

Benefits with NSO:

• Network-wide CLI & Web UI

• Fine-grained, deep transaction-safe configuration

changes with rollback across atomic change sets

• Engineers use NSO as a power-tool for new

automated, paper free MOP process

• Compliance

• Technical review

• Execution – with rollback

• Post change compliance – with rollback

• Service validation – with rollback

• Audit, Compliance and Reporting

• Device groups to keep HA pairs in sync

• Backup and history

• NSO export to offline database
