First Standardized Multi-CoS

Defining Specification: MEF 23.1 Class of Service Phase 2

• Scope – 3 Classes of Service (more than 3 classes may be specified)– 20+ application types, 4 distance related “Performance Tiers”– Enhanced QoS metrics: adds Mean Frame Delay and Frame Delay Range, Availability, etc. to Inter Frame Delay, Inter-

Frame Delay Variation, Frame Loss Ratio

• Standardizes CoS Performance Objectives (CPOs)– Draws on the above to define standardized CoS Performance Objectives (CPOs)– New MEF MBH specification draws on MEF 23.1: 4 CoS, etc

• Globally Engineered Networking– Defines how service attributes, CoS are mapped across provider boundaries – Preserves the integrity of services regionally, nationally and globally

Cloud Service Delivery Challenges

• Today, Internet is predominant WAN to deliver cloud services– Surprising, little attention paid to it by the Cloud Community

• Larger Enterprises hesitant to move mission-critical applications to the cloud when delivered via the Internet

The WAN is critical for cloud service performance (SLAs)

Cloud Service Delivery Challenges over the Internet

• Security Vulnerabilities• Performance• Data Governance• Regulatory Compliance

Features and Impact of CE 2.0 for MBH

Network Impact 10 Mbps to 100 Gbps TDM Ethernet 4G/LTE Multi-CoS brings better QoS &

efficient use of bandwidth Blueprint for packet and network-

based synch in 4G/LTE networks Enables resilient connections to

hub sites and major cell sites OAM reduces support costs with

fault sectionalization, performance measurement

• Migration:2G, 3G, 4G/LTE• Multiple classes of service • Synchronization• Resiliency• OAM

Features and Impact of CE 2.0 for MBH

Business Impact Affordable bandwidth vs. legacy

Meets escalating demand with reduced CapEx, OpEx

Standardized implementation Reduced development cost

Multi-CoS reduces CapEx for Access Providers, avoids over-provisioning

Migration guidance helps build and understand cost model

Resiliency reduces SLA risks OAM reduces support costs

• Migration:2G, 3G, 4G/LTE• Multiple classes of service • Synchronization• Resiliency• OAM
