Service agility is a key driver for SDN and NFV. This requires fully automated, dynamic network service provisioning. Current service delivery, which depends on static OSS, is measured in weeks or even months. New service orchestration systems can deliver services to customers in real-time. However, such service orchestration systems need to be underpinned by real-time, programmatic network configuration systems or they won't work. These configuration systems should be based on industry standards and here IETF already has a standard solution in the NETCONF config protocol and associated YANG network device data modeling language. This radio show will discuss how service orchestration can be implemented using NETCONF and YANG.
