With the development of emerging services such as 5G and cloud computing, traditional metropolitan area networks are facing problems such as closed BRAS equipment and low resource utilization. This standard introduces SDN/NFV technology to achieve network function decoupling and build a new cloud-based metropolitan area network through separation of control and forwarding and resource pooling.
| Architecture Levels | Traditional MAN | Cloud MAN |
|---|---|---|
| Networking Architecture | Tree Topology | Spine-Leaf Architecture |
| Bearing Technology | MPLS VPN | SRv6/EVPN |
| Network Element Form | Specialized Hardware | VNF+PNF Hybrid |
An Operator Adopts After implementing the vBRAS solution, the service provisioning cycle was shortened from 7 days to 2 hours, and equipment utilization increased by more than 40%.
| Interface Type | Protocol Support | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Northbound Interface | RESTful | Service Orchestration |
| Southbound Interface | NetConf/BGP-LS | Device Control |
